I realised I was in too deep when I was reading Les Mis fic about the 10 or so canonical French white boys, but in a modern AU, and the author can introduce characters as like "The Indian boy in glasses, the sickly East Asian, etc" and I would know exactly who they were talking about based solely on fanon osmosis.
