I think you should make a 101 fic kinks list. I'm nodding madly at your little list of "certain kinds of plot points" ("a sense of a world beyond the two of them"...YES!), and I want to see what else we have in common.
It's fun to think about which of my kinks are bulletproof in any fandom, and which are things I want out of specific ships. Like, one of my top three panfandom kinks is teamwork, but in one place that might merge with other kinks to become, "seamless tag-teaming in a D/s threesome," while in another fandom I might be horrified by the idea of D/s, but massively, equally gratified by, "passes Broccoli Test while collecting mold samples for forensics lab."
One day I’m going to write a scene where...
I sort of did that in my one H/D story. They reconcile, Harry sticks his hand out, and Draco rolls his eyes and calls him ludicrous and overdetermined.
