In your own space, share your love for a trope, cliché, kink, motif, or theme. (Or a few!) Tell us what makes it work for you, and why it appeals to you so much. Talk about what you like to see in fanworks featuring that theme most. Feel free to include recs and examples! Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Hmm, I'd never given this any thought but the stories I return to, time and time again, all contain close relationships, usually romantic but not always.
Cabin Pressure's Martin Crieff dating Tony Stark seems a terribly unlikely relationship but flawed amethyst makes it work in the Seduction By Winglet Series.
( As they walked out of the Arrivals gate, Tony was there waiting, looking hopelessly suave and sophisticated in a suit that probably cost more than GERTI and holding a sign that said, Captain Spitfire. )

In Of Old Mystics, Giles rescues Ethan from the Initiative. As they build a new relationship, they learn they are at the center of a prophecy.

Coneycat's Housemates series puts Loki in the middle of Being Human. It's a great match because they show him how to be monsters without being monstrous. It's really a delightful series.

In Sands of Time, Giles adopts Xander and turns his life completely around. Lovely twist at the end. Giles makes such a great Dad for Xander. Oooh, which reminds me of the scene where Xander first calls Giles "Dad". Eee!( OK, weirdness, right. You probably mean me moving out of my folks' place and in with Giles because I'm tired of my father using me as a punching bag. That weirdness? )

( Ah. It was to be the valiant rescue fantasy then. As his hallucinations went, this was quite possibly the worst. )

In Shade More Than Man, Sirius tries to apologize to Snape before tranforming himself, forever, into his animagus form.
( Do you remember how you were before Azkaban? )

In Tenebrae, the author Mary Sue's herself into season 5 of Buffy. Doesn't sound appealing, I know, but she's an excellent writer and the story is awesome.
