History Fanfic / AllBecauseOfUncleGary

* IncestantAdmirer: Rodrick at one point asks to watch Greta change, with Greta pointing out how gross this is. (He never pulls this again after this single moment, implying he either got the message or was just messing with her.)

* NiceGuy: Rowley is consistently the kindest, most accepting and most forgiving character in the story. He holds no grudges, seemingly never gets angry

* FirstLawOfGenderBending: The incorrectly-performed[[note]]At least three people need to chant the incantation for it to work properly[[/note]] version of the ritual, which swaps the gender of those within the circle of effect, cannot be reversed. This leaves Greta, AKA Greg, stuck as a woman... [[SecondLawOfGenderBending though she quickly comes to enjoy the change]].

* MythologyGag: The name "Greta" was also used in another LLB, ''Greg Gets a Girlfriend''.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Julie Webber/Fake Greg's final fate is left unknown, only that they last escaped from Uncle Gary.

* ForWantOfANail: The story begins just prior to the Heffleys' dinner with the Stringers, which happens in the middle of ''The Third Wheel''. Greta being gender-bended knocks everything off the rails immediately.

* FirstLawOfGenderBending: The incorrectly-performed version of the ritual, which swaps the gender of those within the circle of effect, cannot be reversed. This leaves Greta, formerly Greg, stuck as a woman... [[SecondLawOfGenderBending though she quickly comes to enjoy the change]].

** During an early date with Rowley, Greta watches ''Film/TheRoom'' at the cinema.
