About Reincarnation
Characters live, die, and find each other again in another life — sometimes remembering, sometimes only feeling an inexplicable pull toward a stranger. Reincarnation fic spans single rebirths and centuries-long cycles of meeting and losing.
It is the promise that love outlasts death itself, and the moment of remembrance — recognition flooding a stranger's face — is among the most reliably devastating beats in fanfic.
Common scenarios: An immortal waiting centuries for a reborn king to return, or modern strangers dreaming in parallel of a war they both died in.
