One thing I love about my job is that part of it involves processing, cataloging, and describing new manuscript acquisitions. A lot of what we get comes in the form of individual detached manuscript leaves so doing this involves a lot of research in order to identify them, and that's a lot of fun. I'm working on a couple of new items right now and loving it (this is the first time I've had to do it since I've only worked here a couple of years).
Also sometimes it requires me to read up on abbreviations in Iberian gothic hands and then I find stuff like this:

Since the two princes were originally not /in canon/ for another plot but rather made for a mafia AU as cousins to one of the main characters for the base plot. I was like. Huh let's give them a happier life. So here they're just princes and instead of the police department/detectives that most of the main cast is in base plot, those are the royal guards around the twins' castle.

i'm gonna say it because no one else is going to: the 'subversion' of the chosen one trope is no longer a subversion and is now instead a trope of its own.
its only a subversion the first couple of times its done: by the time it hits at least FIVE DIFFERENT MAJOR STORY RELEASES. it is no longer a subversion. it is a trope.
so many things people call a 'subversion' are literally just tropes in a different outfit now LOL
