Common Tropes

  • Codependency - Gwen helps Duncan cheat on Courtney in-universe. Fanworks may expand upon this dynamic.
  • Shared Hobbies - as Duncan is Punk and Gwen is Goth, some fanworks may expand upon these subcultures. Referencing specific musicians and/or horror movies they both may enjoy within fanworks is not unheard of.
  • Works may include their friendship, but pair Duncan or Gwen with other characters.
