Common Tropes
- Fix-it: Fics with happy endings instead of the canon one are the most popular trope in the fandom.
- Alternate Universe - Orpheus Doesn't Turn Around: Since canon follows the original myth where Orpheus turns around, fix-it fics where he doesn't are popular.
- 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.
