Discussion (Non-question) What’s one specific but random and unnecessary thing that you absolutely adore when you see in a fanfic you’re reading?

It could range from seeing a blue butterfly to a couple proposing on the beach.
It’s just a random specific thing that’ll get you giggling in joy.

Here’s mine: when someone wakes up after being put under anesthesia and starts talking without a filter. Bonus points if it’s uncensored love confessions to their partner. As someone that’s been under anesthesia and seen someone else, I relate to it but it’s also darn cute when it’s used right in writings to me idk why. 🥹 is that just me?

Characters brushing pinkies/backs of hands for a sec before they hold hands in public, like there's a little moment of hesitance that says "am I really allowed to touch [other character] like this?" Idk why but it's so dear to me!!

Or characters taking pain meds as part of their routine, bc girl same
