About Prophecy
A foretold destiny hangs over the story — the chosen one, the doomed king, the child who will end the war — and characters struggle inside or against it. Fic loves to interrogate prophecies canon took at face value: who wrote them, who benefits, and what happens to the people they name.
Prophecy pits free will against fate, and readers relish characters who fulfill their destiny sideways, on their own terms, or not at all.
Common scenarios: A chosen one deliberately misreading their prophecy to save the friend it condemns, or two halves of a foretold pair refusing the roles assigned to them.
