    What Tropes or Scenes Have Made You Drop a Fic Immediately?

I have prepared this list:

* harem, Ménage à trois, polygamy, fluid sexuality, PWP,
  Alpha/Beta/Omega dynamic

* creature inheritance … an immediate hard drop

* adult/child + Death Eater/normal romantic relationships (yes,
  I am certain there are some exceptions, but I have yet to find
  truly good Drarry, Draminoe, Snarry ... ewww, Snamione ...
  ewww, not even mentioning anybody/Voldemort, anybody/Bellatrix,
  anybody/Lucius)

* dark!Harry (or dark!Hermione etc.)

* pureblood culture & pureblood Hermione (I tried few, none of
  those were completely horrible, but I don't feel the need to
  seek for more)

* OP!Harry

* almost all crossovers (especially with superheroes, Star Wars)

However, since then I have noticed couple more of these:

* Dramione stories … “I bullied you, because I loved
  you.” It is not cure of a problem with young Hitlerjugend, it
  is disgusting. Just say no. Even worse, I couldn’t believe
  that somebody actually wrote in this day and age a story where
  freshly minted Harry-turned-into-girl finds it awesome when she
  is literally raped by Draco. “He raped me, because he loves
  me.” I just couldn’t believe my eyes.

* sheeple

* A time travel story: “Good, then you understand that Sirius
  needs to stay in Azkaban until the time is right.” No, I don’t.

* Apartment-sized trunk

* vampires … they just `don’t work`_
