#and person c just. simply doesn't have the whole picture bc she's technically an outsider

very sexy trope in writing is when there's 2 or more characters who think they got a whole image, or think they're missing a certain detail to understand what's going on, and the pov switches and you find out they're totally off mark and you see their actions in a whole different light and you can also see why they see things in the wrong way and it's so cool so sexy i love it

#idk if my phrasing is coherent but yeah #in the fic I'm reading now (the one with the sexy tags!) it's used really well tbh???? #i thought it was gonna be one person's pov for the whole thing but it changed and in a very sexy way #it's 3 main characters and they're all misinterpreting each other but for completely different reasons which makes this sexier #like person a just has his memories kinda fucked up and mixing with this timeline so he draws conclusions from his other self #(yeah it's complicated. but who doesn't love a good time travel story) #person b just keeps jumping to conclusions driven by his own self hatred while ignoring what's true in favor of that #and person c just. simply doesn't have the whole picture bc she's technically an outsider #and it's so sexy to see it come together and how as a reader you get a complete image only from reading through all three!
