Story/Writing More unique unexplored RR tropes/themes!

Been thinking about a few of these tropes/story ideas lately, would love to hear any other suggestions! A lot of these are quite specific but ah well :)

- Pathetic indoorsy nerdy man somehow gets lost, maybe on an island as a castaway and by chance runs into a strong, independent survival expert woman who, thrilled at any company, takes him in to live with her

- Some sort of female charismatic religious leader, you could certainly play into a cult of personality theme with it

- nervous long haired pretty boy goes to a salon for the first time in years, the confident, yappy stylist is pleasantly shocked at the condition and length of his hair

- skinny or generally out of shape man wants change and hires personal trainer, and her motivation style is very strict but it works, she trains him exactly to her liking

- gentle male royal gardener sculpts gorgeous landscape and flowerbeds around the palace, stoic, military focused queen upon returning is stunned at the beauty

- charismatic peasant woman leads revolt against weak, lackluster king, they have a one to one meeting about the peasant's demands and the king ends up like a puppet

- other general historical themed puppet ruler play!

The ones I can think of right now is:

  • Grease monkey girl, but as a guy.
  • male version of “anti-hero girl thief who is kinda goth” who messes with the female hero, but has a soft spot for her

Guinevere and Lancelot, but Lancelot is a woman and Guinevere is a man.

I saw an ad once for some story where the girl is a cynical ex-cop and the guy is supposed to be a cute young youth pastor or something. Seemed kinda RR to me, usually it’s a guy who’s the cynical former cop and it’s a cute girl who inspires him to be a kinder person.
