With Quodo, it's very much "Quark and Odo have sex but in a weird/ambiguous sort of way, and then that makes them realize they have feelings for each other that go deeper than they want to admit."
And you write that type of idea so well! Before getting into Quodo, I didn't read many fics where the characters have sex before having the "feelings realization," but I've come to really really love it for Quark/Odo, and your fics have played large role in that!
I kind of think Quark and Odo also work really well for "near death experience leads to feelings realization."
Ooo, me too! I love that trope in general, and I agree it would work really well for Quark and Odo. My oldest Quodo WIP actually kind of touches on that. Maybe I should take a peek at that one again...
I completely understand about the "slap-slap-kiss" trope as it's not something I generally consider to be compelling either, but the Quodo dynamic can definitely have a bit of that in there. Quark and Odo are more confrontational with each other than the characters in most of my other ships are, so Quodo's been pushing my horizons all over the place lol!
I love Hunger Games AUs, and I've been rotating DoreyG's prompt around in my head ever since I read it. It still hasn't coalesced into a story in my head yet, but I keep hoping one day it will. The Hunger Games books/films are some of my favorite media. I rarely re-read books, but I do re-read those three on occasion, as well as watch the movies pretty often. Maybe one day the story will come together in my head, or maybe someone else will be struck by inspiration and write it for us! XD
Thank you for answering the questions! This was very interesting to read!
