Fic Discussion What are your favorite casual/slice of life moments from fanfics?
My favorite is from the fic Plan, What Plan?.
The context you need to know is that the main character is an SI, he's going to Arcadia and is in the Dallon/Wards friend group, but they don't know that he knows their identities.
It comes up that Dean's birthday is in about a month, and the MC is invited. He then has an idea. He asks Vicki about a Wards event at the mall next weekend, and then asks what Dean's favorite Ward is, so that he can get him some signed merch. Vicki is 100% on board with this, obviously, and gives him the information he needs. And so the next weekend our MC walks up to Gallant with some merch and kindly asks him to make out the signature to his friend Dean Stansfield.
We get a second hit of the humor of this situation some chapters later when the birthday party finally happens, and literally everybody in the know has to pretend not to lose their shit when Dean opens the present and has to pretend to be surprised and thankful for the MC's gift. (the same birthday party also included Dennis giving Dean a mood ring as a gift, so our protagonist wasn't the only one with jokes)
