It's trope discussion Monday! What do you think about fix-it fics? What makes them work for you? Can you recommend a good fix-it fic? 

#TropeChats

@FandomChats Sometimes a work is messy and not on purpose. Persona 4 is very messy. I won't elaborate. I have hated it for 10 years until very recently when someone brought up Shuada (Yu/Adachi) feeling very 'human' and 'raw', similar to Nyata (Nyarlathotep/Tatsuya; entirely its own class of self hatred  ). I then read one fic and it flipped a switch in me. This fic was Fidelity Decay. I can't sing its praises enough, it made Yaso-Inaba fun again.

@FandomChats As far as what makes a fix-it work for me... I like the changed scenarios and interactions. That the author(s) has self awareness that there is no one thing is going to actually fix everything ever. tbh there's very little media I didn't like that I would go out of my way to look up fic for, I hadn't thought about why one might seek out Fix-It.
I did end up replaying P4 and it was pretty cozy with the mindset as a small town horror mystery, potentially buddying up with the murderer.
