What Does This Mean?
Fandom slang for a fanfiction centred on the death of a character, or for that kind of fanfiction as a group. It is a descriptive category label, and stories are often tagged or warned accordingly.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
""The summary warned it was a deathfic, so I got the tissues before reading.""
