Happy Endings to a degree are appreciated for Man In An Orange Shirt, Sirens, & Westworld; the others can go either way. My favorite sort of ending is happy but fucked up; if the character has some version of what they want even if the situation is twited/objectivly fucked up beyond belief, that's a happy ending in my book! Unwanted Tropes are permanent character death, noncon where one/both parties hate the sex, torture, humiliation that is kinked on (I'd rather it be more in the self-hate arena than embarrassment), & infidelity.

Below are some trope suggestions that I think would work with the fandom, and prompts to go with them. If you can think of something similar or that fits the vibe, please write it!
