Baffling!

[krait]

I was just browsing AO3, as you do, when I ran across a fic with the most baffling tag.

After CNTW, two iterations of the same pairing, four characters, "Hurt/Comfort," and a pairing smushname, the tag list ends with "You may want to skip the last chapter."

The fic's only rated M, the summary sounds like a meet-cute AU romance, and there's absolutely no other clues. So........

What FOR???? o.O

I'll be skipping all the chapters, but I'm thoroughly baffled.

LOLLLLL. "One of the pairing dies" would definitely have been my guess, but that's even more depressing and pointlessly WTF than the various things I was imagining. (Not that I even know what fandom this is.)

Ehhh. It's pretending to be Tolkien fandom, but it's really Worst Peter Jackson Movies Fandom. Sometimes I get a craving for Elf/Human romance and go fishing in the busier end of the pond...

From azurelunatic's description it's pretty clearly an untagged modern!AU; it's probably a human!AU too, which is doubly disappointing when I was browsing an interspecies pairing tag with 'Modern AU' excluded. D:
