History Literature / RootingForRomance

* FatherIWantToMarryMyBrother: Marisa has this in her early years when she's a toddler. [[spoiler:This sets the ChildhoodMarriagePromise of Yuri and Ellen themselves in motion]]

Written by [[{{Tropers/Aver}} the same guy that wrote]] [[Literature/ThrownIntoLove Thrown Into Love]], Rooting for Romance is about a guy and a girl, named Yuri and Ellen, growing up together, whilst also having a second plotline [[spoiler:that's about a husband refusing to cheat, then cheating anyway later on]]. The entire story is told through the eyes of [[LemonyNarrator a tree]]. It's updated every Saturday.

* ScheduleSlip: Averted hard. So far, the story has been updated every Saturday and if it isn't, then the author always lets the readers know beforehand. (One exception: the Fictionpress servers were offline for a Saturday, but that was beyond the writer's control)

* TranquilFury: To quote Elder Tree: ''[[MamaBear Linda spoke up like ice-cold water]]''.

->"Have you ever seen those big trees? I'm not talking about the small kind here. No, really big, huge, enormous trees that usually stand in little towns, making the towns look even more pittoresque. Those trees that seem to ask you if you could please climb in them, or sit at them, because they look so old and lonely. And in most cases, they usually are.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The mentioning of Matthew and the conversation in chapter three between Derek and Jacqueline. Both are going to play a major role later on.

* IndyPloy: This story was written as an exercise for NaNoWriMo, because I wanted to see how long it would take me to write 1667 words. When writing this, I only knew of Yuri and Ellen - I made up the rest as I wrote. Don't worry, the story has been Beta'd since that so the quality has gotten a lot higher^^

* ToyShip: Young Yuri and Ellen.

* FauxloscophicNarration: TheyPlottedAPerfectlyGoodWaste. Elder Tree often sidetracks in his narration and makes points that are unrelated to the story, to emphasise that he's a tree, old, forgetful, and has troubles understanding our society and the way we narrate.

* CoolOldGuy: Maril.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The mentioning of Matthew. He'll get more important later in the story, promise.

* WeAreAsMayflies: Elder Tree briefly comments on how we somehow only make it to the age of eighty and even wonders how it's possible how mayflies live even shorter.
