While my editor works on my next novel, I'm working on a short story. I'm trying to figure out what genre it is. The best I can come up with is rom-traum.

Two traumatised people falling in love. With funny bits.

Is rom-traum a genre? And if not, can it be?

@clacksee Reminds me of "Feel good" by Mae Martin, though only one of them is traumatized, but the show is good at balancing (dark) humor with serious personal struggle (sounds incompatible, but it works great). So, even though, it didn't know a label for this, it does exist and it does work. Your short story sounds somewhat similar—and intriguing

Ooh, yeah. I watched that. It was really good. Similar vibe. But it didn't have a happy ending if I remember rightly.
