i dont really read fix-it fics because I don’t care but there’s one specific flavor that appeals to me, as corny as it might be. basically the characters getting a glimpse of the future. I would hate if that happened in canon (where I really do not want things to be fixed and I hate time travel in general), but to have the characters see themselves in the future and find out how much their paths have taken a much more tragic route than expected, all their wishes and desires torn to shreds… it does things to me
