Tropes Stories

Iman & Ishq is a story of hearts weighed down by silence and secrets, of souls navigating a world where faith and desire pull in opposite directions. Sikandar Khan is a man the world watches closely, a respected politician, sharp with his mind and steady with his principles. Power never changed him, but love. Love was something he never saw coming. Inara Shah is a doctor whose life revolves around healing. Gentle, calm, and guided by faith, she carries a heart that believes goodness can soften even the hardest storms. When their paths cross, it isn't dramatic - it's destiny. A quiet meeting that turns into affection, and affection that deepens into a love so pure that they choose the only path their hearts are at peace with: the halal one. Together, they prove that love doesn't have to be loud to be beautiful. Their marriage becomes a standard, a blend of respect, calmness, faith, and the kind of partnership that inspires everyone who witnesses it. "Iman & Ishq" is a story of two people who fall in love, honour it, and elevate it. A reminder that when love is tied to faith, it becomes something sacred.

She writes love stories. But she wasn't expecting to live in one. After a near-death encounter with a rogue sedan (and a golden retriever named Waffles), burned-out writer Harper Lin wakes up in the arms of a man who seems suspiciously familiar. Like...fictionally familiar. As in: she's pretty sure she wrote him once. Convinced she's either losing her mind or manifesting her own love life through caffeine-fueled Google Docs, Harper sets out to test a theory: if her meet-cutes are coming to life, maybe fate's giving her a second chance at magic. Or maybe she's just concussed. Armed with stubborn hope, a laptop full of chaotic drafts, and her best friend who is so not emotionally equipped for this rollercoaster, Harper dives headfirst into a string of real-world romcom scenarios-from grocery store flirtations to coffee shop disasters-trying to figure out if the universe is meddling... or if she's finally cracked under the pressure of writing the perfect love story.

Noah Reed has always been the good one. Golden boy of USNM's hockey team. The guy everyone trusts. The guy who never messes up-until one fight changes everything. Mila Keating doesn't have the luxury of mistakes. At eighteen, she's already a mother, already exhausted, already done pretending life is fair. Cold, guarded, and fiercely independent, she's built her world around survival-for herself and for her four-year-old daughter, Harper. When a scandal threatens Noah's future and Mila needs money to keep hers afloat, a fake relationship becomes the perfect solution. Strict rules. No feelings. No trust. But sharing a building means sharing space. Sharing space means crossing lines. And somewhere between late nights, bruised knuckles, and a little girl who steals Noah's heart far too easily, the lines blur. What starts as an arrangement turns into something neither of them planned. Something dangerous. Something real. Because the hardest thing about pretending to love someone is realizing you might not be pretending anymore.

A series of my favourite romantic tropes featuring Abhimaan. Step into a world of romance where beloved tropes come to life in this one-shot series.

When burnt-out office worker Cassie overworks herself straight into another world, she expects the usual isekai package: gorgeous nobles, dramatic ballroom politics, maybe even a swoony romance route to fix her trash life. Instead, a mysterious system boots up in her vision, one that tracks "Affinity Scores," hands out quests, and helpfully reminds her that her entire reality is stitched together by tropes. At first, it's fun. Easy quests. Pretty outfits. Flirty eye contact. Cassie finally feels... chosen. But the system isn't stable. Routes flicker. NPCs hesitate. A "Questline Not Found" error pops over someone's head. And when Cassie accidentally pushes past her expected script, the world glitches, revealing pieces of something bigger, older, and very aware that she's here. To survive, Cassie must outsmart destiny, navigate dangerously handsome love interests, and resist becoming the perfect protagonist everyone expects. But every choice she makes corrupts the code a little more... and the system is starting to notice. Welcome to your happily ever after. Please ignore the 404 errors.

Title: Rogue Badge Genre: Action / Crime Thriller / Bad Boy Romance Tropes: Undercover, Enemies-to-Lovers, Anti-Hero, Found Family, Forced Proximity Synopsis: He wasn't trained to uphold the law. He was born to break it. Jerry "Sin" Yu is the NYPD Academy's dirty little secret. A hustler from Queens with a gambling debt and a loose moral compass, he doesn't want to be a hero-he just wants the pension. But when his street-smart schemes catch the eye of the ruthless Captain Miller, Sin is stripped of his uniform and offered a deal he can't refuse: become a ghost, or go to prison for real. His mission is suicide: infiltrate the inner circle of Victor Chen, a refined and terrifying crime lord known as "The Architect." To get close, Sin must endure the brutal hierarchy of Rikers Island, shedding his humanity to become the savage "Mad Dog" and survive the prison's gang wars. But earning the devil's trust was the easy part. Now released into New York's neon-lit underworld, Sin finds himself promoted to Chen's "Operations Manager." He isn't just moving drugs anymore; he's smuggling military-grade drones, kidnapped scientists, and a volatile teenage hacker named Jinx who might be more dangerous than the cartel. Caught in a deadly crossfire between a sadistic cartel boss and the FBI, Sin's only lifeline is Agent Elena Vance-his icy, perfectionist handler. As the pressure mounts, the friction between Sin and Elena ignites into a forbidden, high-stakes attraction that threatens to blow his cover. In a world where loyalty is bought and life is cheap, Sin faces the ultimate question: When you wear the mask of a monster long enough, do you forget the man underneath? Sometimes, to catch the devil, you have to become the beast.

There are a lot of tropes like the Token Gal and really hilarious cliches like Clumsy unless in Combat.And I want to discuss them here with you. Now there is nothing wrong with cliches and tropes, mostly because they're unavoidable. It's when you use them all the time or in the worng way. Like "True Love's Kiss", "The Five Man Band", magic systems, and so on.

Kim Na-ra has always been Ha Jun's fierce, short-tempered best friend-the girl who once punched a kid for bullying him. He's her rock, she's his chaos, and that's how it's always been... until one drunk night on a school retreat changes everything. They kiss. But here's the problem: he remembers. She doesn't. And suddenly, Na-ra has to navigate the tension, jealousy, and slow-burning feelings that she never knew existed...

Libby Archer and Christian Somber have always hated each other. Their families even hate each other. Why? Libby's family is full of genuinely good people who love and respect everybody. Christian's family, not so much. His family is full of bad people who really only care about themselves. Now with Christian and Libby? The day they were born, they were taught to hate each other. Libby never really understood why. Christian was always quiet and to himself, but still was a good kid. That is, until in 7th grade, when he was caught stealing the principal's pocket knife in the principal's office. And in 9th grade, he was punished for getting into a fight with a kid half his age. That's when Libby finally understood why her parents never allowed her near Christian.... Christian just always accepted what his parents told him. There was no point in fighting back, because everything they said had a good reason. Probably. Besides, Libby was an annoying little brat who was always too nice and kind to everyone she met. He made a vow with himself to never get near that Libby Archer. That's when his mom and dad were found dead in their own house. And no one knew who did it. Except...someone claimed they saw Libby going into Christian's house.... But everyone brushed off that claim, because Little Libby would never do something so horrible. Or would she? Christian knew that he was the only one who thought it might be Libby, so he decided he himself would investigate Libby Archer.... Things just might get messy.
