Trope of the Month

Another new month has begun!

The theme for April is Bonding Over Trauma. Your characters can be surviving captivity together, supporting each other through a traumatic experience, dealing with a shared past, or whatever you want as long as it involves bonding and traumatic experiences.

Some possible ideas if you want them:

• Keeping each other's spirits up during captivity


• A moment of peace during a war/battle/emergency


• Bonding over similar past traumas


• Trying to return to normal life together after shared trauma


• No one understands what they've been through except [other character(s)]


• A shared past leads to knowing/understanding each other in a way no one else can

For other prompts, or to add your own, there's an optional prompt post here.

Posting guidelines are here, and if you have any Bonding Over Trauma recs you'd like to share, you can leave them in the comments using the template below:
