I just read my first Inception fic that concisely has the military backstory take place after Don't Ask Don't Tell was repealed and it was just a tiny, little detail that fired a million pleasure-circuits in my brain. This fandom and it's attention to world-building details is amazing.

Seriously, how is Inception fandom still cranking out magic??? Sometimes I want a "Unified Theory of Fandoms With Active Fanfiction Cultures" to figure out what is the magic click combination that leads to fic-creation and longevity. (And then I remember that I don't' want to watch Supernatural and also I am incredibly picky about my fanfiction and the minute the magical combination is unlocked, it will be utilized by our capitalist society to suck every possible dollar from the fandom collective.)

And then I think, eh, let some things stay a mystery.

Absolute Headcanon

James Potter II was nicknamed "The Chosen Two" when he was born. Possibly by Ron. Possibly by George. Ginny definitely used the nickname when it was Harry's turn to be on Baby Duty and it was half three in the morning and no one had had any sleep. (e.g. "Your turn to get The Chose Two, Chosen One.")
