    • Kidfic: Fix-it fics have a subgenre where they have child/children either biological or adopted.
  • Post-Canon: Exploring the aftermath of canon are also popular. Sometimes this includes reunion of Orpheus and Eurydice in the Underworld.
  • Novelization: Rewrites of various songs from the musical are seen often. These fics often include magical realism.
