About 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.
These stories deepen rather than replace canon, and readers love returning to the source afterward unable to unsee what the fic filled in.
Common scenarios: What actually happened during the three-week gap between chapters, or a pivotal canon scene retold from the silent character in the corner.
