They’re pretty big? 😂 Big palms. Long (but not feminine) fingers. It’s a physical trait I noticed and made a part of my story Shade, specifically, one scene from Jackie’s POV.

A fellow T7S fic author at the time (and a friend) liked that description of mine (I’d recently posted the chapter it was in; she’d recently read it), and so she added a similar description to the next chapter of her own story that she was concurrently writing and posting while I posted Shade.

I can’t tell you why other stories you’ve read describe Hyde’s hands similarly. Maybe they were inspired by my description in Shade, too, or my friend’s story. Or they came up with it themselves before I ever wrote Shade in a story I haven’t read. Or came up with it on their own, period, by spotting what I had.

But I’ve seen in T7S fic (and I’m sure it’s not a phenomenon exclusive to T7S fic) that a fic writer will come up with an idea. Another T7S fic writer likes it then uses it (though differently). And then it proliferates through T7S fics, sometimes for years.

Quieter? 😅

It is not a genealogy inscribed in stone, but one whispered across generations, carried in the breath of those who came before and those who will come after. It is a memory that does not settle, but wanders,…
