Fix-It
Fandom's repair shop: a fic that rewrites a canon event the author (and usually the fandom) considers a mistake — a death undone, a breakup averted, a finale done right.

Childhood Trauma

Time Travel Fix-It
The combination engine of two beloved tags: someone goes back in time specifically to repair canon's tragedies. A character — often the sole survivor of a bad ending — returns to before everything went wrong, armed with foreknowledge and a list of deaths to prevent. Naruto, Harry Potter, and Star Wars fandoms have built whole cathedral traditions out of this structure.
