We did try starting a list of BSB fanfic rules of the internet, but tropes might be the funnier way to go. In general, Nick is the fandom "Woobie" for sure. And Code Black & Blue is the perfect name for that trope for BSB fanfics.

Ah, that's what it was! I knew there was something we tried to start, and then I couldn't think of anything to add to it LOL. Tropes might be easier.
Nick is definitely our Woobie. What's the name for the character who nothing interesting happens to and is usually just kind of there? Cause that would be Howie in most stories LOL.

I'd say that either makes Howie "Out of Focus," "Demoted to Extra," or "Advertised Extra" depending on the severity of the Howie doing nothing interesting or nothing at all. Possibly "Chuck Cunningham Syndrome" if he starts out important then vanishes.
Realistically, we should just name this BSB trope "The Winking Effect" (wink and you'll miss him) or something and note that of all the Boys, this is most likely to happen to Howie and least likely to happen to Nick.
