Romantic do-over time travel BL/GLs
One of my favorite supernatural gimmicks. It allows an author to slightly tweak circumstances or character motivations and show how drastically differently things play out then. It also multiplies the number of 'firsts', which always feel like emotional high stakes moments; first confessions, first kisses, first moments it falls apart again. And it necessitates character growth, which y'know, should be a given in any plot, but lazy writing means that sometimes gets forgotten.
These are only the shows in which characters travel back to an earlier stage of their own life.
