Common Tropes in Fanworks

  • Casefic: because of the procedural nature of the series many stories focus on the characters solving various murder mysteries
  • Episode Tags: based on the occurrences of specific episodes, often the aftermath of certain cases
  • Futurefic: before William and Julia committed to a relationship, and eventually got married, fanfiction was written speculating how and when they would get together
  • Crossover: usually involving characters from other fandoms ending up in Victorian Toronto and meeting Murdoch and others
