Basically what the title says. Sometimes, when I read stories I actually enjoy, I see comments like "XYZ would never do it/behave this way" or "this subplot doesn't make sense because in the books..."

So, which tropes in fanfiction do you like and enjoy even if you know that they're not compatible with canon or they make character(s) act OOC?

I, for example, like when Sirius embraces his Black heritage and/or dabbles a bit in darker magic. I know that book Sirius hated everything connected to his family but I enjoy stories with this trope nonetheless.

I also like when other characters decide to cooperate with Rita Skeeter in mutually beneficial way and use the power of press for their purposes.

And what are your favourite non-canon-conpliant tropes?

Can you recommend me some stories with rare pairings (I'd prefer F/F but I'll also take F/M as long as it's well-written) with interesting and well developed plot?

My only requirement is that the romance subplot doesn't overshadow the main story (I _hate_ it when a story has great worldbuilding and actually interesting plot but changes into a cliché romantic drama full of unnecessary pining after the first few chapters).

I like stories centred around Ministry of Magic and/or set in professional setting (healers, aurors, unspeakables, spell creators and so on), I'm less interested in stories about students but I also read these if they're good.

It would be ideal if the story was between 50-150k words (not too short, not too long) and on AO3, but these are not requirements
