Repeat after me, kids: your significant other liking multiple genders does nothing to invalidate the fact that they like you best.

Okay so you know that trope in fics where after Harry comes out, Ron asks him if he ever looked at him that way? Usually his response is relief but like, what if it wasn’t? What if it went like…

Ron: What do you mean you’ve never? Harry: Well, you’re like my brother. It would be too weird. Ron: Not even once? Harry: Nope. Ron: But you’ve thought about Malfoy? Harry: Um, recently, yeah. Ron: I’m gonna need a 20 inch essay on what Malfoy has that i don’t. Harry: It’s not like that! Hermione, help me out here. Ron: Is it the hair? Hermione: I doubt that’s it, he used to like Ginny. Maybe it’s more about posture. Harry: *hitting his head to the desk and groaning* Ron: I’m taller than he is Harry and he’s a bit skinny to be honest. I have more bulk, you know? Wait, where are you going? I’m a bloody catch, come back! Hermione, snickering: There there, Ronald. I know you are.

To be a better writer...

If your story include characters that continuously suffer, or even occasionally suffer, write about the effects on the character’s life and the plot rather than just the suffering itself. Pain, like any other heavy aspect of a story, should move something forward or backward rather than be included just for the sake of it. Too much focus on the feeling rather than the effects make a story repetitive and boring, so keep the consequences for the character and plot in the forefront.
