Surprise can make a hickey story good. For example, when it happens unexpectedly during a normal day like a picnic. Also, if it's in a really beautiful or special place. Say, on top of a mountain during a hike.
A good hickey story often has a backstory. Maybe the couple had been through a tough time and the hickey was a sign of rekindling their relationship. Or it could be that they were celebrating a big achievement together and the hickey was a spontaneous expression of their joy. The context and the relationship dynamics around the hickey are what can really make a story great.
A couple I know had a hickey story from their first anniversary dinner. They were so in love and lost in the moment that the guy left a hickey on the girl's collarbone. She had to wear a scarf for a few days to cover it at work, but every time she saw the scarf, she would smile, remembering the wonderful evening.
Another good cover - up story is that it's a reaction to a new skincare product. Say something like, 'I tried this new lotion and I think I might be allergic to it. It made this red mark on my skin.' This can be quite believable as many people do have skin reactions to products. You can even show the 'hickey' as evidence of the 'bad reaction' if someone asks further.
One great 'drarry hickey fanfic' is 'The Mark of Their Love' which beautifully explores the relationship between Draco and Harry with some interesting hickey - related plotlines. Another is 'Hickey Hide and Seek' that has a fun and flirty take on the concept.
Surprise is a key element. For example, in a story where someone recovers from an incurable disease suddenly. Also, a sense of hope. Like when a community comes together to save a failing business unexpectedly.
Well, an unexpected turn is a great element. In a good revenge story, the revenge plot should not be too obvious. For instance, in the story of the shopkeeper, the new store didn't expect him to expose their unethical supply source. Also, a good revenge story usually has a character who is relatable. We can understand why the person wants revenge. When we hear about the woman whose lawn was being dirtied by the dog, we can relate to her frustration and cheer for her when she takes revenge. Finally, there should be a proper build - up to the revenge act. It can't be too rushed.
Interesting characters are important. For example, heroes or magical creatures. They drive the story forward.
Interesting characters. For example, a brave little hero or a cute magical animal. They can attract kids' attention easily.
A good inspirational story often has a clear struggle. Take the story of Nelson Mandela. He fought against apartheid in South Africa for decades. He was imprisoned for many years, but he never lost his hope for a free and equal South Africa. The transformation is also important. Mandela transformed from a prisoner to a president, which shows that change is possible even in the most difficult circumstances. And the story should evoke emotions, make the readers or listeners feel something strong, like admiration or hope.
One element is loyalty. Just like in my story about Tom, a good friend is loyal and will be there for you in tough times. Another is kindness, like Lily showed to me at the summer camp. Also, shared experiences play a big role. In the case of Jack and me, having that near - death experience in the river created a strong bond. Shared interests, like hobbies or dreams, can also be part of a good friend story.
Unique and relatable characters are key. Take Frodo from 'The Lord of the Rings'. He's an ordinary hobbit thrust into an extraordinary situation, and his courage and vulnerability make him a character readers can root for. Also, a richly detailed world is important. In the world of 'Game of Thrones', George R. R. Martin created a complex world with different kingdoms, cultures, and political intrigues.
