Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Ho Yay - Unavoidable to the point that the characters know it themselves. In Lockdown, Alex became startled when Donovan started stripping seemingly randomly once they were both alone, and D joked, explaining it was because he loved Alex (it was really part of an escape plan). Same joke was used when Alex got rid of clothes near Zee two books later. The Skulls call Zee Alex' girlfriend, and hugs and touching and I'm-so-happy-I-can-kiss-you abound - some kissing actually happens, with Simon kissing Zee's forehead.
Foe Yay - The first half of Death Sentence is drowning on this. The warden calls Alex his, raises his head by holding his chin, touches him a lot and sits together with him in bed, talking to him with a gentleness Alex knows to be genuine. All of that more than once. And because of the nectar, Alex is prone to view the warden in a positive light and becomes happy like a puppy whenever he gets praised. Alex recalls this in Fugitives with an "I almost gave myself to him".
