For the fanfic day ask meme:
It’s funny, I can actually pinpoint this: this post byout_there_on_the_maroon that mentions telling citizens to start RogueBounding to avoid being taken hostage. I’d never heard of Rogue-bounding - I’d seen a couple of outfit collections for Rogues before (mostly Len, TBH), but I didn’t know there was a term for it other than “casual cosplay”, which is how I referred to it before (and how I still do, TBH).
But I started thinking about what kind of person might do that in a world with the Rogues, and how it might play out specifically if they actually ran into one of their… inspirations? And it sat in the back of my head for a while, and kind of bounced off both the content of the s4 Trickster episode (seriously, both Axel and Zoey behave in ways that reflect fandom so hard) and my reaction to it, and then I wrote it down.
(You may notice that I write really slowly. I saw the post in April 2017, I had a “casual cosplay” vague idea by the end of July 2017 (enough to toss it onto my “one-shot WIPs and emotional clutter” post - I need to write more of those, I think), and actually posted the fic on AO3 in July 2018. If I’d gotten it out faster it might have been less… grumpy? dark? but no bets.)
