Why you should be interested in this fandom: Do you like aromantic, allosexual, wholesome golden retriever jocks? Do you like excellent representations of polyamory, queerplatonic relationships, and that sometimes messy, hard to define third thing that happens when you're aromantic and building relationships with others, some of whom may or may not also be aromantic and some of whom are definitely alloromantic? Do you like childhood friends to lovers? Do you want a representation of a brighter future where someone could be open about being gay to the team management of a pro sports league and be responded to with support? Then you should check out Superstition! This story was seriously life changing in that I'd never seen a representation of someone who does relationships like I do as a sympathetic character at all, much less a main character, and I absolutely want to share it with everyone. It's well written, delightful on so many fronts, and absolutely posits a bright future that I think is worth hoping and striving for. This is an original work that skirts the edges of RPF, but the main storyline only uses existing RPF personalities as set dressing - the guy on the poster on the OC Main Character's bedroom wall, the veteran presence the MC lives with his rookie year, general background veteran presences, not major characters - all the main characters and many of the minor characters are OCs, so if you're unsure about RPF this is only very minorly RPF and worth a shot.
