Ao3 Desperately Needs A Tag For That Kind Of Fic Where One Character Is In A Bar Or Whatever And They

ao3 desperately needs a tag for that kind of fic where one character is in a bar or whatever and they find the other character and go “please pretend to be my boyfriend/girlfriend, there’s this creepy dude that won’t leave me alone” and then the other character is all sweet and kind of possessive and they end up together. thanks for coming to my ted talk.

I think an important instinct you have to build up when you read/watch sci-fi is discerning which things are givens. If Arrival tells you that the alien language is atemporal, it is, that's not a puzzle for you to pick apart, it's a prerequisite to getting the rest of the story. When I talk sci-fi with people who don't consume a lot of it this seems to be a thing they get hung up on.
