saucefactory's post here:
The five types of canon.
Canon: What actually happened.
Headcanon: What you think happened, based on the characters, settings, storylines and all reasonable extrapolations thereof.
Heartcanon: What you feel ought to have happened, quite divorced from rationality or sense.
Soulcanon: What you know happened, deep down in your soul, regardless of what anyone says. Including the creators of canon, themselves.
Crotchcanon: What your gonads wish had happened, or, alternatively, what turns you on.
I have screwed around in coming up on one hundred fandoms, as per the AO3 listing on my profile. If you're curious about something I've written more than once, ask for the kind of canon you want from me.
