History Fanfic / AloneTogether

* InstantExpert: Averted hard. At first, the mathematics in Drakken's notes looks like [[EEqualsMCHammer gibberish]] to Kim -- it takes months before she understands any of it, and years before she beings making any real progress toward getting back home.

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2949422/1/bAlone_b_bTogether_b Alone, Together]]'' by Failte200 is one of the grand masterpieces of ''KimPossible'' {{fanfiction}}.[[hottip:*: There's quite a lot of it - over seven thousand entries on [[FanfictionDotNet Fanfiction.net]], for example - and some of the authors really know their stuff, so that's much better praise [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative than it might sound like.]] ]] It is a highly-detailed and realistic (for ''Kim Possible'') account of what it takes to develop an intimate relationship between the [[ActionGirl main character]] and one of her [[DarkActionGirl main]] [[TheDragon opponents]].

* EEqualsMCHammer: Drakken's notes ''look'' meaningless to Kim at first, but the description of what Kim sees is a reasonably clear summary of what actual calculus-level math looks like to someone who doesn't understand it. She ''does'' figure it out eventually, implying that it all makes sense (at least in a Kim-Possible-universe mad-science sort of way).

She ''does'' figure it out eventually, implying that it all makes sense (at least in a Kim-Possible-universe mad-science sort of way).

* InstantExpert: Averted hard. It takes Kim months of study before she even ''recognizes'' most of the symbols in Drakken's notes, and years before she starts to make any real progress toward getting back home.

** An especially literal example of "Narnia Time" in that they age to mature adulthood in the Other World and revert to their original ages upon returning.

* NarniaTime: The passage of time in the alternate universe turns out to be completely independent of the amount of time elapsed back home. Kim and Shego spend twenty-one years in the Other World, and return home after a thirteen-day absence.

* LesYay: At first the story averts this. It takes YEARS of being the only ones in the dimension they end up in for Kim and Shego to even become friends, much less lovers. The story eventually plays it straight, spending the needed time to make their love and closeness believable.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Shego gets so hot and bothered at one point that she nearly [[spoiler: commits statutory rape before remembering that Kim is only seventeen in this dimension rather than the adult she was in the Other World.]]

* SureWhyNot: Shego being [[spoiler: molested by her father as a little girl]] was originally not part of her backstory, but when one reader interpreted her freakout over a magazine that featured a young girl dressed provocatively on the cover as signs of [[spoiler: a history of sexual abuse]], the author decided to run with it.

* NoYouHangUpFirst: A phone call to Kim from Shego to set up a meeting to compare notes about their experience leads to this. They end up resuming the phone conversation until they leave for the face-to-face meeting.

* ShownTheirWork: A lot of the interdimensional stuff is a combination of real world science and carefully disguised bullshit that's difficult to tell apart. Also, the author did some serious research for the appendicitis scene, and it shows.

** An ''empty'' city, mind you. It makes sense in context.

** An ''empty'' city, make no mistake.

* PragmaticAdaptation: A independent movie was made of this story, though it took a BroadStrokes approach of being about two women alone in an empty world, obviously stripping out all the ''Kim Possible'' aspects. Still, that's a movie based on a work of cartoon fanfiction.

* RoomFullOfCrazy: Kim spends her first year in the OtherWorld obsessively spending every waking moment studying math and physics, [[ThePigPen neglecting personal hygiene]] and living in a mess of scattered books, notes, and discarded food and water containers.

* [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: After the first few days in the Other World, Shego gives up waiting for rescue, believing [[spoiler:incorrectly]] that Drakken has written her off as an acceptable price for permanently getting rid of Kim, and goes off on her own for a year.

* BrickJoke: The [[GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex celebration]] of Kim's 30th birthday in the Other World provides both a significant plot driver (when [[EroticDream Shego remembers it]]) and a punch line for the final scene (when [[LuminescentBlush Kim remembers it]]).

* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:Shego tries to hang herself after Kim is lost and apparently dead in the St. Louis earthquake.]]

** [[spoiler:The evening after Kim and Shego declare their love for each other, Kim starts undressing in front of Shego, thinking that's what she wants and expects. Shego stops her, because she knows that neither of them is ready for that yet.]]
