"Technically, AU implies something drastic enough to unquestionably separate a given fanfic from canon. The term 'alternate universe', itself implies that the show's world and its timeline or setup is, itself, different.

If a fanfiction deliberately follows the events of canon and fits well into the suspension of disbelief for events that could have happened off-screen, AU is not the term you'd use. 'Psuedo-canon' or something similar might be more accurate."

If a fanfiction deliberately follows the events of Ccanon and makes their story fit well into the suspension of disbelief for events that could have happened off-screen, AU is not the term you'd use. 'Psuedo-canon' or something similar might be more accurate.
