Hmm, well I'm fine changing my nominations either way, but I guess what I'm going for is like,
"A Missed Opportunity No Longer Missed" - Like, sometimes there's just that spot in canon that *could* have been the inciting incident for the relationship, but instead it just sailed by and nothing was incited? Like "A confessed their love for B in canon but that was the end of it" or "A ran away and B let him go" or in a more meta way "the writers introduced character c for a short time when they could have used character a" It's just *that* turning point (or turning points) that vary by the actual fandom/relationship.
"Demon or Other Such Creature in Disguise as a Human" - Character A would not date Character B if they knew Character B was not a human, but Character B is in disguise as a human, presumably to seduce character A. Could be clearer, I get it.
"Being stuck in a horror movie scenario leads to love confessions" - The inciting incident is being stuck in a horror movie scenario, like for a horror movie AU for a canon that isn't generally a horror movie. Maybe there's a killer or they get stranded in the woods or a haunted house. Just, generic horror movie scenarios.
Anyway, that's all I got. I can change them to other things if they don't really fit.
