I will mostly talk about and interact with Haikyū, Dragon Age, Cyberpunk 2077, Dungeon and Dragons stuff, and Heated Rivalry. no, I cannot explain the overlap.
@vinsodas Other media where the side characters tend to get a bit more focus and character arcs (I mean my entire account was created for side character pairing of a volleyball manga/anime and that can only happened because they were given a bit of focus from the main story)
i do think it's a little funny when some fics frame shane's canon-timeline move to the centaurs as a trade where mtl asks for nothing back when it's emphasized over and over again that shane was in free agency
@vinsodas Very true! I think something specific to HR and GCU in general is that since these are romance novels, we don't really get much characterization from characters that aren't the main couples, so it's even harder to parse through what is canon and what is fanon, as opposed to +
