Note
The plural only appears when the countable noun is being used. Fiction as a literary type can be a mass noun (she reads fiction), so the plural points to separate made-up things: individual stories, particular false accounts, or legal fictions. A quick check is that if you can say "a fiction," you can pluralize it. "Convenient fictions" counts untruths one by one, while "fiction" alone names the whole category.
