I think you are right! A friend recced me Carmen Sandiego last year, and I'd put it on my list, so a renewed rec is very encouraging - I'll be trying it for sure!! :D The animation style seemed attractive in the preview. I am very delighted to hear that f/f is the biggest category on Ao3, too, and I'm jazzed about heist stories. This sounds great. *chinhands* Thank you very much for the recommendation!
