Trapped Together is a trope in fanfiction, in which (usually) two characters are trapped together. The characters involved could be friends, co-workers or even enemies. The circumstances trapping them together vary across canons. They could be snowed in, or trapped in broken elevator. This trope often overlaps with other fan favourite tropes - including There is only one bed, Huddling for warmth etc. One character could be injured and dependent on the other(s) to help them.
The forced intimacy of been trapped together can sometimes result in love confessions or PWP stories.
