History FanFic / TheOpenDoor

* TheMultiverse: Universes are sorted according to an "energy gradient", which roughly serves as a SortingAlgorithmOfEvil by paralleling each universe's capacity for technology, magic and psychic power. Parts of it have been sealed off and can only be accessed from other parts of the multiverse through "hub universes", with that of ''SuzumiyaHaruhi'' serving as one of these. Interestingly, it also has {{Alternate Universe}}s; the second chapter shows that at least one version of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' different from the native ''FanFic/ThousandShinji'' one exists, while later chapters also show that [[spoiler: [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} canon!40k]] ]] also exists.

The MegaCrossover non-canonical side-story to ''FanFic/ThousandShinji'', ''[[http://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=123083 The Open Door]]'' ([[http://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=132941 alternate]] [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4320933/1/The_Open_Door links]]) takes place twenty five years after Thousand Shinji, after Earth has been unified and Canon 40K technology introduced. At the beginning, a "representative" of Tzintchi is sent to negotiate with Kyon in ''[[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya Haruhi's universe]]'', the eponymous 'open door'. It goes on from there and gets progressively more crazy as more and more universes are drawn into it via the new Chaos Gods' quest to defeat the Necrontyr and the C'tan.

*** Shinji crying out "What did you do?" to Asuka in chapter 68 (it was never explained what she did or why he got upset. In fact that was the last appearance of the main characters);

** Some fans especulated that it would be like if Shinji God emperor from ''[[FanFic/ShinjiAndWarhammer40K Eva/40K]]'' met New Chaos. Charles Bhepin said that he would NOT be amused. Two words: "I JUDGE".

*** Asuka's scheme to "inevitably" turn Starbuck into one of her followers was foreshadowed in the very beginning of chapter 69 and never touched upon again. In fact Starbuck did not even show up in the next chapters, and it was never revealed what Asuka's plan was;

*** Asuka's scheme to "inevitably" turn Starbuck into one of her followers (stated in chapter 69. The fic died in chapter 73 without giving it a resolution. We never ever knew what she was planning);
*** Shinji crying out "What did you do?" to Asuka in chapter 69 (it was never explained what she did. In fact that was the main characters' last appearance in this story);

*** Shinji screaming "What did you do?" to Asuka in chapter 69 (we never knew why he got angry, only that it was related to her Starbuck-conscripting scheme);

* HateFic: [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5433094/1/The-Doorstop The Doorstop]] deconstructs The Open Door, although it is a bit more even-handed than other examples. Iolaus, the author, read it, and decided he could tell the story better - so he did so, flipping the perspective away from New Chaos and to the more heroic factions, as well as numerous other changes. For one, New Chaos actually dare to fight people that is not way weaker than them and get their butts kicked constantly. The story also provided an explanation for the New Chaos Gods stopping being JerkWithAHeartOfGold {{AntiHero}}es and devolving into {{Villain Protagonist}}s that constantly cross the MoralEventHorizon, forgetting the lessons of the Emperor about not being assholes to mortales and becoming better Chaos Gods: the evil natures of the Old Gods are corrupting them steadily, and they are aware of it, but they do not know how stopping it.

* MisterSeahorse: Happens to [[spoiler:Lars, but he would tell you that even so, ''Skuld'' is still the father]].
** [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]]: [[spoiler: Lars was already carrying the concentrated core of emotions that could potentially become a daemon with just a bit more emotion. Skuld just happened to accidentally fertilize it, adding something different to the daemon while doing so. So biologically Lars is the mother and Skuld is the father, insofar as biology can be applied to goddesses and daemons. (Technically, Lars doesn't have a gender. He tends to think of himself as male, but his sex is fully optional rather fun for all concerned.]])

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5433094/1/The_Doorstop The Doorstop]]'', a HateFic[=/=]{{Deconstruction}} of ''FanFic/TheOpenDoor'' has an especially notable one shortly after a major WhamEpisode when New!Chaos launches simultaneous commando raids against [[MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha the TSAB]], [[StarWars the New Republic]], and [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann the Spiral Nation]] that nearly beheads all three nations in one fell swoop. Five chapters of brutal fighting, multiple [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Crowning Moments Of Awesome]], and several character deaths later, Nanoha learns that an attack force similar in size to the one that ''her entire team'' barely managed to fight off [[ItMakesSenseInContext accidentally]] attacked St. Hilda Elementary School... and was single-handedly curbstomped by ''[[BadassAdorable Vivio]]'' in full Saint King mode. Naturally, this all happens completely off-screen.

** The four main characters barely show up in the latter chapters. In the last fifteen or so chapters Misato and Rei are completely missing, and Shinji and Asuka only appear in a single, very brief scene in the beginning of the chapter 69. They not even are mentioned in most of chapters, even though this story is supposed to be about them.

* [[TwoLinesNoWaiting Many Lines No Waiting]]: The main plot used to focus on the New Chaos gods (before the author dropped them by the wayside), with another subplot focusing on [[OriginalCharacter Lars]] and Skuld. Then the Lars subplot became THE main plot for a time as a subplot focused on the ''Stiletto'' crew, plus any number of other ones. In the last chapters the main plot was focusing back on Lars.
* TheUnfettered: Neo Chaos approaches but does not fully achieve it, and is the worse in the eyes of some readers for it.

* TheFettered: [=newChaos=] is utterly devoted to the protection of children, and caught child abusers often find that the question isn't whether they're fucked, but how bad.

* SuperPrototype: The ''Stiletto'', several times described as being too heavily armed for its frigate designation, and eventually slated for toning down.

* SuddenlySignificantCity: Nesme

->Twisting layers of unreality, fractal patterns of possible creations unfolded and bloomed before spiralling back into tiny vibrating loops the size of atoms. Entire cosmoses stacked like translucent vellum sheets, infinitely large and yet no thicker than a shadow, separated by impossibly vast gulfs transmittable with but a single thought. Impossible things of flavoured sound cavorted with crystalline tiers of niobium light while things not wholly described by any seven senses a person could name played flutes of ultraviolet fire. Creatures with only the vaguest impression of what codified physical laws were and the life that resulted from such conformity of physics pranced about in vile dances, psychic susurrations filling the void with their gibbering, bouncing unnoticed off of the things with stars for hearts and all of the intelligence of amoebas as they plied across eternity.

* PunctuatedForEmphasis: '"What. Do. You. Want?" [[Series/BattlestarGalacticaReimagined Adama]] hissed.'

** Some fans especulated that it would be like if Shinji God emperor from ''[[FanFic/ShinjiAndWarhammer40K Eva/40K]]'' met New Chaos. WordOfGod stated that he would NOT be amused. Two words: "I JUDGE".

* ShinyNewAustralia: For [[spoiler:[[Series/BattlestarGalacticaReimagined the Colonials.]]]]

The MegaCrossover non-canonical side-story to ''FanFic/ThousandShinji'', ''[[http://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=123083 The Open Door]]'' ([[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4320933/1/The_Open_Door alternate FanFiction.Net link]]) takes place twenty five years after Thousand Shinji, after Earth has been unified and Canon 40K technology introduced. At the beginning, a "representative" of Tzintchi is sent to negotiate with Kyon in ''[[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya Haruhi's universe]]'', the eponymous 'open door'. It goes on from there and gets progressively more CrazyAwesome as more and more universes are drawn into it via the new Chaos Gods' quest to defeat the Necrontyr and the C'tan.

* RockBeatsLaser: The nBSG crew outfighting the Praxis. Yeah, they had fire support from the Stiletto, and the Colonials were in some ways more advanced than the Praxis, but still.

* NukeEm: Attempted by [[spoiler:[[Series/BattlestarGalacticaReimagined nBSG]] Cylons]] with city-killer nukes against the ''Stiletto''.

* NormalFishInATinyPond: [=NeoChaos=] is a near perfect example of this, and openly states that they largely choose to visit universes where their abilities are to their advantage. In a less deliberate example, Lars is sent to the Manga/AhMyGoddess universe, where his origins give the local deities fits.

* DepletedPhlebotinumShells: Hi, pit fiend. Meet Chaos-runed, Skuld-enchanted god-killer shotgun shell fired from Skuld's mentally shadow magic-crafted eight-gauge. Bye, pit fiend.

* NighInvulnerable: The ''Stiletto'', at least with regards to [[spoiler:[[Series/BattlestarGalacticaReimagined nBSG]] Cylon city-killer nukes]], which it tanks even without its shields. Justified due to the severe technological superiority.

* BrokenAesop: Academia Nut stated that the Chaos Gods can not move their followers to another universe because don't want that they go down the same road that Old Chaos did and make their same mistakes, hence they want to be around to watch their progress... Still they ARE going down the same road and making the same mistakes!

* TheSpartanWay: Divine Assassin training. It starts with a five-kilometre run on hot asphalt immediately followed by a two-kilometre swim across the Aegean sea, with burnt feet still smarting, and the 4-year training includes torture and a week-long MindRape session at the hands of an EldritchAbomination. The end result kills 37 excessively gung-ho trainees out of the 120 volunteers, with the rest washed out to less intense courses, which admittedly does not look very severe compared to some of the other examples here. Space Marine trained inherited from canon!40k most likely follows the old vein too.

** The Lars/[=Skuld/=]ForgottenRealms subplot. Some readers might be left wondering what happened to the spaceships and BeamSpam and conniving-yet-benevolent {{Eldritch Abomination}}s that are supposed to be the MAIN characters but are often absent.

* [[TwoLinesNoWaiting Many Lines No Waiting]]: The main plot used to focus on the New Chaos gods (before the author dropped them by the wayside), with a main subplot focusing on Lars and Skuld, another focusing on the ''Stiletto'' crew, plus any number of other ones. A ''StarWars'' one was beginning in the last chapters.

** Quite a number of subplots, such as the ''Series/StargateSG1'' or ''LyricalNanoha'' ones, were left untouched in a while when the hiatus dropped by.
** The four main characters barely show up in the latter chapters. In the last eleven or so chapters Misato and Rei are completely missing, and Shinji and Asuka only appear in a single, very brief scene in the beginning of the chapter 69. They not even are mentioned in most of chapters, even though this story is supposed to be about them.

* TheSpartanWay: Divine Assassin training, presumably Space Marine training too.

* BoringInvincibleHero: Accusations have popped up, especially in earnest after [[spoiler: an Eva defeated a Bolo in chapter 64.]] Then again, given the strategic considerations, a case can be made for...
** ShowyInvincibleHero
