Sten/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Wife Husbandry]]: A rare example of the girl invoking this trope on ''herself''. After Sten's initial rejection of her teenaged crush, Cind had the self-awareness to realize that one of the reasons he did it was because a relationship between a mature adult and an adolescent girl would not be emotionally healthy or lasting, and so she determined to spend the next several years forging herself into the sort of competent, badass, and mature woman that Sten could respect and be lifean partnersequal partner with. (Fortunately, this dovetailed quite neatly with her already-existing plans to grow up to become a competent and badass young woman). After spending a goodly part of a decade doing so, she deliberately seeks Sten out again to explore the possibility of forming a relationship with him on a completely different level than her first attempt, and succeeds.
