4.0BRAINROT SCOREMissing Scene A fanwork, usually a fanfiction, that depicts a moment implied or skipped in the source story, such as what happened off-screen during or between episodes. It fills a gap in the story rather than changing it.
Origin:Fan communities use "missing scene" for stories set within the timeline of an episode or book but outside the material actually shown. Fan-wiki and trope-site summaries distinguish it from an episode tag, which is set after an episode ends, and in literary fandoms the same idea is often called a gapfiller. The Archive of Our Own lists "Missing Scene" as a standard tag with more than 200 synonymous tags, including "missing moments", "unseen scene" and "fanfic gap", and translated variants in other languages. The date and place where the term first appeared are not documented.
First Seen:Unknown (long-established fanfiction term; no dated first use documented)
