This author’s been reading some late-FFN-to-early-Ao3 fics, and while yes, the “get the female love interest out of the way by killing her or making her into a terrible person” was totally A Thing, I think we’re missing out on some of the alternatives that other authors used.

> Pair her up with a male character in canon (any male character, though preferably a non-bishie)
> Pair her up with the other Token Girl (happens more times than you’d expect)
> Actually, she’s completely FINE with the relationship because…
> She’s a good ally (Awww!)
> She’s a fujoshi who’s Totally Into It.

Any other fun ones?

AU where female love interest never existed
AU where female love interest DOES exist, but picks a different school/major/career and/or moved away before MC could fall in love with her

I'm sure there were more, but my brain is le tired.

And good all denial:

"Yes, he did tell her he loved her, but that was totally in a sibling way."
"See that single frame there, when another character is talking but he looks at male best friend? Totally has a crush!"
