Common tropes in fake marriage novels include misunderstandings that arise from the fake situation, external pressure to maintain the charade, and the struggle to hide the truth from family and friends. And of course, the eventual realization of true love.
One common trope is the 'fake relationship' that turns real. For example, two characters might pretend to be a couple for some external reason like impressing a family member or getting a promotion at work, but then they actually fall in love as the story progresses.
One common theme is self - discovery. In a fake marriage situation, the characters often learn more about themselves as they pretend to be in a relationship. For example, they might discover new aspects of their personalities or their values.
One common trope is the 'enemies - to - lovers'. At first, Draco and his arranged partner might dislike each other because of their different backgrounds or past interactions. But as the story progresses, they fall in love. Another is the 'hidden feelings' trope, where Draco might have some secret feelings for the other person even before the arranged marriage is announced.
One common trope is the 'rekindled connection'. The two childhood friends, who may have drifted apart over the years, are suddenly thrust back into each other's lives due to the arranged marriage. Another is the 'opposites attract within familiarity'. Despite knowing each other since childhood, they discover new sides to one another that they find surprisingly appealing. Also, there's often the 'family drama' trope. The families' expectations and meddling can add a lot of tension and plot twists to the story.
One common trope is the 'Reluctant Partners'. Percy or the other character involved is usually very reluctant about the arranged marriage at first. They might resist it and try to find a way out. For example, Percy might think it goes against his free - will and his loyalty to his friends and previous relationships.
One common theme could be the struggle between duty and personal feelings. In such a novel, the characters might be in a marriage for various reasons like family obligation, but they lack true love at the start. For example, they might have to maintain a public facade of a happy marriage while dealing with their own unfulfilled emotional needs.
One common theme is the exploration of unspoken feelings. When characters are in a fake marriage, it gives an opportunity to show their hidden emotions. Another theme could be cultural differences. Since Star Trek has many different alien cultures, a fake marriage might highlight how different species handle relationships.
One common theme is the discovery of true feelings. In a fake marriage, the characters initially enter into the relationship for reasons other than love, like financial gain or to fool someone. But as they spend time together, they start to realize their true feelings for each other.
One common theme is the initial awkwardness. Since the marriage is arranged and the wife is 'fake' in a sense at the start, there's often a lot of discomfort between the characters. Another theme is the discovery of each other's true selves. As they spend time together in the marriage, they start to see past the surface. Also, family expectations play a big role. The arranged marriage is often due to family reasons, and the characters have to deal with those pressures while falling in love.
One common trope could be the redemption arc. Often in Christmas stories, a character who has been mean or self - centered has a change of heart during the Christmas season. Another might be the family reunion trope, where family members come together despite past differences. And the gift - giving trope is also prevalent, showing the spirit of giving during Christmas.
