my favorite kind of fanfics are “canon divergence” because it’s always like handing back a reviewed essay with comments like “I enjoyed the strong beginning but here is where you lost me, I’ve made some notes”
Now I remembered that the real world was wide. And that a varied field of hopes and fears of sensations and excitements awaited those who had the courage to go forth into it’s expanse. To seek real knowledge of life amidst it’s perils.
