Read enemies-to-lovers →
ObsidianPen · Time Travel
Characters travel through time, either to change events, escape danger, or by accident. Romance may span different time periods or involve changing the past.
Read time-travel →
ObsidianPen · Post-War
Set after the great conflict of canon ends, these stories ask what survivors do with peace they never expected to see. Especially central in Harry Potter fandom, where 'post-war' covers the rebuilding of the wizarding world after the Battle of Hogwarts, but the label applies anywhere canon ends in victory and rubble.
Read post-war →
ObsidianPen · Obsession
One character's fixation on another consumes the narrative — watching, collecting, orbiting — whether it resolves into requited intensity or curdles into something dangerous. Tagged clearly so readers can choose how dark they want the spiral to go.
Read obsession →
ObsidianPen · Canon Compliant
Fic that fits inside canon without contradicting it — missing scenes, between-episode interludes, and untold perspectives slotted carefully into the gaps the source left open. The discipline of the form is making the new material feel like it was always there.
