as a hardcore elf that reads yunjae fanfiction, i could not help but notice that whenever sj members are cast in fics, only certain members appear, and they have pretty consistent roles in the narrative across all the fics i have read.

• leeteuk: boyfriend/husband of heechul; only in a tertiary role
• heechul: friend of jaej or yunho, ex or current boyfriend of yunho
• hangeng: wise friend of jaej; only in 'canon' fics
• kangin: stock villain
• eunhyuk: friend, ex, or current boyfriend of junsu; only in a tertiary role
• siwon: villain who like-likes jaej
• donghae: stock friend of yunho
• kibum: ex or current boyfriend of changmin
• kyuhyun: ex or current boyfriend of changmin

honestly, i get all of them except siwon's. is there lore for that???
