| abstract | - Basic Trope: A Slash Fic and Boys Love fanfic trope in which a previously more assertive character is derailed into a wuss so that he can be cast as an Uke in a power-imbalanced relationship.
* Straight: In a Slash Fic, Andy is derailed into a submissive Non-Action Guy so that Bob can be a Seme.
* Exaggerated: In a Slash Fic Andy is derailed to be completely hysterical and dependent on Bob.
* Justified: Andy has been through a lot more mental and physical trauma at the hands of the villain than he usually is in canon, and so he's a bit less capable than usual. Bob helps him through this.
* Inverted: In a Slash Fic, Andy takes several levels in badass, so that he can be paired with Bob as an equal or as the seme.
* In a FemmeSlashFic, Alice undergoes an unsubtle degree of Xenafication in order to be a proper "butch" to Bonnie's "femme".
* Subverted: Andy acts like a submissive Non-Action Guy, because he thinks that this is the type Bob likes. Bob tells him to snap out of it, because he liked the old Andy the way he was.
* Andy becomes an uke, but he is still assertive and competent as he is in canon.
* Double Subverted:...And Andy tells him no, he likes acting this way.
* Then Andy is submissive after one chapter.
* Parodied: In a Crack Fic, Andy acts like a submissive Non-Action Guy so that Fido can be the Seme.
* Deconstructed: In a Slash Fic, Andy acts like a submissive Non-Action Guy, because his internalized homophobia makes him think it's impossible to be gay and a Badass.
* Alternatively: in a Slash Fic where Andy acts like a submissive Non-Action Guy, Bob is turned off since Bob was initially attracted to Andy's strength and assertiveness in the first place.
* Reconstructed: The Slash Fic presents an Alternate Character Interpretation of Andy secretly not wanting the Badass leader role, but only being comfortable enough to show it around Bob.
* Zig Zagged: ???
* Averted: In a Slash Fic, Andy and Bob behave completely in-character.
* Enforced: The author is a fan of Yaoi Anime, and so she finds this dynamic easy to work with.
* Lampshaded: Andy: Weird, I never saw myself as such a sub before I went out with Bob.
* Invoked: ???
* Defied: Bob firmly puts himself in the submissive role instead to prevent Andy's potential Wimpification.
* Discussed: Charlie: Uh, Andy, do you feel okay? You're acting kind of different. Andy: I feel fabulouth, darling.
* Conversed: Alice's Beta Reader tells her that Andy has been acting a bit OOC in Alice's Slash Fic. Go back to Wimpification and cry on the Seme's shoulder.
