First off, if you haven't heard of it, where have you BEEN? It's a Korean web novel, super popular, and the fanfiction scene is... well, thriving is an understatement. Think overflowing. Like a fountain of creativity powered by angst and fluff. Mostly fluff, tbh.
What's the Deal With This Trash?
Basically, a guy gets reincarnated into a novel. Not as the hero. Oh no. He's Cale Henituse, the titular "trash." The useless, wine-loving, layabout son of a count. Not exactly the ideal starting point, right?
Must Read
But here's the twist! Cale knows what's coming. He's read the book. And he's determined to avoid the tragic ending. Which, naturally, involves more trouble than he bargained for.
Think strategically incompetent. He tries to be lazy. He really does. But somehow, he keeps accidentally becoming a hero. It's hilarious.
Why Ao3 Loves Cale
Okay, Ao3 loves angst. We all know that. But Trash of the Count's Family on Ao3 is a different beast entirely. It's like a giant cuddle puddle made of found family and ridiculous situations.

Found family is HUGE in this fandom. Cale's slowly collected ragtag group of misfits? They're gold. There's Raon, the baby black dragon who thinks Cale is his dad. There's Choi Han, the stoic swordsman with a tragic past. And a bunch of other lovable weirdos.
Fanfic writers just eat this up! They explore the dynamics, the bonds, the unspoken affections. It's heartwarming. It's hilarious. It's everything we love about found family tropes.
And the humor! Oh, the humor. Cale's internal monologues are comedy gold, and fic writers take full advantage. Expect a lot of sarcastic inner thoughts and exasperated sighs.
Quirks and Funny Facts
Here's a fun fact: Cale is obsessed with becoming a slacker. He literally just wants to chill and drink wine. It never works out.

Another one? Raon, the baby dragon, has a magic pocket dimension where he stores snacks. He's basically a walking candy store with scales and fire breath. Adorable and terrifying.
And then there's Choi Han. Sweet, devoted Choi Han. He's basically Cale's bodyguard/emotional support animal. He's fiercely loyal, despite Cale's best efforts to push him away. The dynamic is chef's kiss.
Ao3 fic writers have explored every possible angle of their relationship. From platonic bro-ness to something... more. We're not judging.
