So is there a trope that you discovered after or while writing a story that included it, where you knew the thing in question was tropeable but didn't know that there was in fact a trope for it?

So I just now discovered the trope The Lost Lenore, and it applies to my current project (which is nearing completion).

At first I didn't realize I needed all this stuff...

Iyashikei: When I thought trying one cheerful slice-of-life a la Aria was folly — with no visible plot or conflict, I found this trope after a random search. I now feel gushy inside.

Fundamentally Funny Fruit: I never knew it was a trope, even though it seems permanantly embedded in my speech patterns. I must use it in a story with a fictional fruit. grin

Currently bananas are not turning into grapefruits. smile
