History FanFic / GrandTourSeries

The Grand Tour series is a collection of fanfics written by Tropers/DrunkenGrognard. It is a MegaCrossover featuring appearance of numerous series, but mostly focuses on the casts of Franchise/StarTrek, Franchise/LyricalNanoha, Manga/RanmaOneHalf, and ''Franchise/SailorMoon'', with semi-major appearances of Manga/BlackLagoon and {{LightNovel/Slayers}} characters.

* ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}''

* LightNovel/DirtyPair

* IHaveManyNames: [[spoiler: The Lord of Nightmares has apparently been also called [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Azathoth]], [[Literature/TheRiftwarCycle Rythar and Mythar]], and [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Suzumiya]].]]

* AudienceSurrogate: The characters from ''Franchise/{{Stargate}}'' in Odyssey fill this role because as in canon they are from our 21st century Earth and all of the other franchises exist as fiction in the Stargate 'verse.

* Manga/MahouSenseiNegima

* TheUnmasquedWorld: Due to the invasion in ''Journey'', there's now a more open relationship between the TSAB and Earth. [[spoiler:The existence of the [[Manga/MahouSenseiNegima Magic World]] however, is still under wraps so Japan can hold a trump card.]]

* [[EvenEvilHasStandards]]: According to the WordOfGod, while the Bradesons do shock and awe attacks to make weaker civilizations submit faster, they will not engage in orbital bombardments due to a nasty civil war where that tactic was employed to a deadly degree. They will also give humanitarian aid, and later, full citizenship to the conquered population. Their M.O. is basically MightMakesRight.

* DeathByAdaptation: Two Type [=IIs=]. [[spoiler:Sorry guys, but the WordOfGod is that Thrawn is dead (and by extension, Pellaeon). Also, properly speaking Ralgha nar Hhallas should have lived into Wing Commander III.]]

* EnemyMine: Ranma's fiancees put aside their rivalry in order to help defend Tokyo from the Bradeson invasion.
** And the Bradesons agree to a temporary alliance with the TSAB to fight the [[EldritchAbomination Voidspawn]], and they manage to establish a truce in the aftermath, although [[SpaceColdWar there are still tensions]].
* [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even Interdimensional Conquerers Has Standards]]: According to the WordOfGod, while the Bradesons do shock and awe attacks to make weaker civilizations submit faster, they will not engage in orbital bombardments due to a nasty civil war where that tactic was employed to a deadly degree. They will also give humantarian aid, and later, full citizenship to the conquered population. Their M.O. is basically MightMakesRight.

* FunetikAksent: Ranma and Lister, as well as a few of the OC's in Walkabout. After getting some complaints, the author Lampshaded it in a recent chapter, and has said he'll try to tone it down.
* GambitPileup: The author's description of the events in the upcoming fourth story.

* InterruptedSuicide: [[spoiler: William Adama attempts to join those on the Galactica who sacrificed themselves in saving the multiverse, especially after the HeroicSacrifice of Kara Trace. He is stopped by all beings, the Lord of Nightmares, who insists that William lives for the sake of the remaining colonists.]]

--->'''Ranma Saotome:'''Alien invaders from another dimension? When did my life turn into bad fanfiction?

* LetsYouAndHimFight: What happens when Ranma, Nanoha, Fate, and Guts meet up with Ryoga, Lina, Gourry, Zelgadis, and Amelia. [[spoiler: Lina provokes the fight for the purpose of getting her hands on Raising Heart.]]
* MegaManning: Sorta, but Ranma tries to duplicate Gohan's flight and Zuko's firebending. [[spoiler: Later, he finds a way to use magic, despite (or perhaps because) being explicitly told he was unable to use it, by creative abuse of his translation trinket.]]

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: A TSAB captain tries to stop Thrawn escaping with the 'Engine' causing the dimensional rifts, by firing an Arc-En-Ciel blast at the ship containing said engine. [[WhatAnIdiot The resulting explosion creates the largest rift ever; to make it worse, it doesn't want to close.]]

*** Ultimately, the series shows that both the TSAB and the Bradeson's both have reasonable people and not-so-reasonable people.

* WhatTheHellHero: While not a direct example, Evangaline [=McDowell=] predicts that the "Normal" world will give the "Magical" world a massive one when they learn of the magical world's existence, mostly about "Why the hell did you sit out the Bradeson invasion when the TSAB, Senshi, Nerima Wrecking Crew, and other magical/supernatural forces fought and died to save us?"

* AliensStealCable: After the {{Masquerade}} gets smashed to bits in ''Journey'', the TSAB enters into more open contact with Earth and develops a liking for Terran culture and entertainment. There is a passing mention of a TopGear special on Mid-Childa. Complete with the Stig's Magical Girl cousin.
