likearecord · Canon Divergence Fanfics

Canon Divergence — The story follows canon faithfully up to a chosen moment, then branches: one different decision, one survived death, one secret told early, and everything downstream changes. One of AO3's largest tags, because almost every 'what if' is a divergence.

Divergence fic is the fandom conversation made narrative — every entry is an argument about which moments actually mattered, and readers love watching one changed variable rewrite a world. likearecord has earned 53k kudos across the 5 works tracked in our database, totaling 122k words.
