    • 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.
  • Time Loop: The circular nature of canon has led to it being interpreted as a time loop. Fics where authors explore different versions of it are popular. Often these fics have happpy ending where the loop is broken.
  • Modern AU: AUs set in modern world are relatively popular. Most of the times, these have happy endings.
  • Slice of Life: Fluffy fics focusing on their domestic life are common.
