this is… deeply specific but it is a trope that I’ve been in love with forever:time travel specific age gaps. like A is older, hot, and competent, while B either is already thirsty and has no chance or “respects them” not even realizing their own attraction. B gets sent back in time and bones down with younger!A, and when they get back they’re still dtf and maybe in love.alternatively, A and B are the same age and in love but something happens that keeps them apart. so when A goes back in time and and is confronted with a younger version of the person they’re in love with, they still get all weak knee’d, and go through the 5 stages of grief about it because, what the fuck is wrong with them? B is WAY too young and they have so much less life experience and-… doesn’t stop them from getting together though, does it?
1. Any of my ships that fit it
This is sort of the plot of our Metal Gear Solid oc x Big Boss fic.
2. General Opinion
Time travel pairings of any kind have great angst and yearning potential!
3. Any ships that aren’t canon it But I’d read w/ the trope
This feels like a Marvel comics trope. We’d read any spider-pairings or X/mutant pairings for this idea.
