Common Storylines & Tropes
- Rose is undercover in the First Order, and/or captured by the First Order.
- Hux captured by the Resistance was a popular trope following TROS, and overlaps with Hux lives fics. Often Rose is his guard, or helps him heal from injuries in sustained in his escape.
- Sometimes Rose became close to Hux when he was a Resistance spy, and she was his handler. Sometimes she is unaware of his identity, but in other works she is the only member of the Resistance who knows Hux is the spy.
- Stranded together on an uninhabited planet.
