History FanFic / TheDreamJournal

The story eventually becomes a {{Black Butler}}/{{My Little Pony}}/Music/{{The Antlers}} crossover. There's also a handful of references to Literature/WarriorCats in the earlier chapters.

* {{Aborted Arc}}: It's never actually explained how Sebastian [[spoiler: comes back from the dead]] or [[spoiler: why he suddenly switches teams halfway through the story]] or even [[spoiler: why he's so obsessed with a girl he barely knows and who, at the time, had effectively screwed him over]].

* {{Accidental Marriage}}: Due to the nature of the Dream Journal, this ends up happening after Isabel has a dream about getting married. [[spoiler: This is actually how Isabel and Peter even meet in the first place.]]
* {{Author Appeal}}: Arguably the only reason why Peter Silberman is one of the characters.
* {{A Day in the Limelight}}: Twilight gets her own POV chapter after [[spoiler: Isabel gets kidnapped by Sebastian]] to show what the group is up to.
* [[spoiler: {{All Just a Dream}}: Although the events in the story actually ''happened'', in the epilogue everyone assumes it was just a really weird dream.]]

* {{Cliffhanger Copout}}: Chapter 13's ending is set up to make it sound as if [[spoiler: Isabel will have to quit trying to destroy the enchantment]]. However, in chapter 14, [[spoiler: Grell just mows Sebastian down with his chainsaw]].
* {{Curb Stomp Battle}}: In chapter 13, Grell manages to [[spoiler: 'kill' Sebastian with his chainsaw]].

* {{Deus ex Machina}}: Alex's sudden revelation that she has a house when the group needs to relocate to a new location.
** Also, Isabel's car.
* {{Disc One Final Boss}}: Nearly every villain presented in the story turns out to be this.

* {{Distress Ball}}: Passed back and forth between Alex, Twilight and Isabel between chapters [[spoiler: thirteen through eighteen]].
* {{Forgot About His Powers}}: Miranda in chapter 13. [[spoiler: She has the most powerful weapon in the group, and could kill Sebastian right there and then if she wanted to, but for the sake of drama doesn't actually do so until much later on in the story.]]

* {{Friend Versus Lover}}: Miranda and Grell. This is the main source of conflict in some of the earlier chapters.
* {{Genre Roulette}}: The story jumps between comedy, angst, and romance at random intervals, and eventually just succumbs to poorly written romance subplots and neverending angst until the very end.
* {{Interspecies Romance}}: Alex and Grell.
* {{Last Episode New Character}}: Alois and Ciel. It looks like they were most likely going to serve some purpose to the story, but the story ended a few chapters after their arrival, thus making them useless.
* {{Overnight Age Up}}: Everyone who was included in the wedding was aged up at least ten years. Whether or not the timeline was actually ''advanced'' by ten years is never specified, and it's assumed that everyone simply appears to be older while still being their original age. [[spoiler: This makes the ensuing romance plots somewhat disturbing if one thinks about it too hard.]]
* {{Plot Detour}}: All of the events from chapter seventeen up until chapter twenty seven could be considered this.
* {{Plot Hole}}: There are numerous plot holes throughout the story, including but not limited to:

* {{Real Dreams Are Weirder}}: Invoked throughout the story, although chapters two and ten are notable examples.

* {{Stalker With A Crush}}: Sebastian's sudden interest in Isabel is interpreted as this by most everyone, and although at one point he claims [[spoiler: he was attempting to seduce her]], just before [[spoiler: his death, he challenges Peter to a duel, perceiving him as one of her suitors.]]
