Fun Fact:
So, I’ll be talking about how I choose the ages the characters are in my fanfics because why not! I was thinking about it in the shower and it’s like ten o’clock at night so it is the perfect time to talk about random things.
So, how I choose the ages, or really the order from oldest to youngest, depending on the plot. In Reboot, I did a little thing that I’m sure a lot of people might’ve not seen coming by making Michael and Gabriel the youngests. My reasoning? Plot. I can’t go into too much detail because of spoilers, but basically, most of the reason that everything starts to go wrong is because Gabe is “the baby” of the group and Michael feels responsible to keep him safe. Them being closer in age kinda hints that they are slightly closer to each other and understand what the other is going through in a way that their minds are more alike than how Gabe and Cassie’s would because they’re about three to four years apart. I chose the ages off of what would be more convenient to the plot of the fic and not off of canon. Because what about fanfic has to be canon?
