It's so interesting to me that there's definitely a visible diffusion of things like words and phrases (mostly describing Charles/McAvoy's facial features) and then also of motifs (such as, frex, rimming), as well as at the level of tropes. I had a better grasp of the progression of the first two in my head a few months ago, but it would totally be possible to reconstruct, between the kink memes and the AO3.
