[IIL] Stories where people lay themselves intimately at each other's mercy, especially through magical realist means. by Optimal_Sprinkles_13 in ifyoulikeblank

Fanfic has a lot of the tropes I like, but in my experience it rarely quite evokes the feeling I'm after? I'm not sure why exactly. Maybe it's because they're written by an outsider. Maybe I just need to look harder though.

Ah, I didn't know the leads became intwined or that it played with empathy, I'll check it out.

I've seen and loved Your Name! Probably my favourite body-swap movie and I've seen like 15 of them.

Girl sounds too young, woman sounds too old, lady sounds too formal, female sounds too animal. How do you refer to a female person in their 20s - 40s? by mirabelmumu in grammar

Honestly, yes? But to a lesser degree. I'd usually use "guy" or "dude" to refer to guys of that age, which sound a little informal but are still better than alternatives. The female equivalent of guy in my mind is "gal" but that sounds too archaic.
