I'm a but stumped on adding some more detail to my plot and I realized I don't really have any subplots. So what are your favorite subplots to read or write in preferably a fantasy or sci-fi setting?

Some random ideas:

  • learning a new skill or language
  • bonding with a child
  • a rivalry
  • bonding with a pet
  • reconciling with estranged family members
  • visiting old friends
  • exploring a new home
  • healing from a big injury
  • doing research or reconnaisance
  • inventing something new
  • teaching someone else a skill
  • spying on someone suspicious/trying to solve a mystery
  • losing a mentor figure
  • coping with a new job or assignment

whatever fits with and moves along the plot you have, I guess
