<![CDATA[Trope musings]]>Hey, you know those couple-y trope with a scary, intimidating guy who is no stranger to violence or brutality? But swoons over his sweet little partner, treating her with uncharacteristic care and gentleness? Which causes her to grapple with trying to reconcile how he treats her vs how he treats others? Prompting her to reflect on her complicity and/or powerlessness in their relationship, and eventually having to create some physical distance between them? And when she leaves, he is left to question what is more important: retaining power, or her happiness? At the same time, leaving her vulnerable to people who wish her harm by virtue of her association with him, maybe centred on some horrifying incident that she had been also been witness to? Leading to execution of a plan by said people to “disappear” her, that inevitably reaches his ears? Thus compelling him to go on a rescue mission?

Yeah. Except he’s a titanic rampaging juggernaut on a path of destruction until she begs him to stop.

Good trope. 10/10 would support.

Whatever the equivalent is for an entire plotline.

This sounds less like a trope than an outline for the first couple of chapters of a story 😊 One that I would enjoy, no doubts!
