History Fanfic / AnExtraordinaryJourney

* CompellingVoice: Kathy. It works on any human (including Slayers) who can hear her in person.

** One of Angelus's victims [[spoiler:went to great lengths to twist Kathy, Liam's sister, into a particularly twisted vampire who retained her human soul but fused it with demons. As a result, Kathy is not only stronger than a vampire her age should be, but she also has a particularly powerful form of telepathy that lets her control others, and a strong desire to see her brother suffer, her creator ignoring the fact that Angelus wouldn't care about Kathy's current state if they met and the human soul who would care about it didn't do anything more serious than go after the wrong woman in an alley]].

* FirstGirlWins: GenderFlipped in ''An Extraordinary Journey'' for [[spoiler:Buffy and Xander]]

* FormerlyFriendlyFamily: Kathy and her brother, Liam. [[spoiler:Though most people know him as Angel.]]
* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: [[spoiler:Lee Adama]] after the soul-restoration curse takes effect.

** In ''The Aftermath'' Tara, having [[DreamingOfThingsToCome dreamed]] of the deadly danger to Janet on an upcoming mission[[note]]the one where she died in SG-1 canon[[/note]], gives her some magical protection. [[spoiler:This results in Willow taking a staff blast to the chest.]]

** After [[spoiler:her possession by Anubis]], Willow goes through some serious stuff, including [[NightmareSequence nightmares]] and [[spoiler:CloningBlues]].

* CloningBlues: After [[spoiler:Willow has her]] consciousness transferred to a genetically engineered clone body, they have nightmares. Overcoming this takes quite a bit of time with an Asgard therapist.

* LookWhatICanDoNow: After returning from over a month [[spoiler:of [[CloningBlues post-cloning therapy]]]] with the Asgard, Willow almost right away uses [[spoiler:her telekinesis to put up a shield]] to protect SG-1 as they evacuate under fire from a planet.

* HappilyAdopted: Athena and [[spoiler:Sineya]] view each other as mother and daughter.

* HasTwoMommies:
** On her trip across realities looking for Willow, Faith sees a reality where she and Willow have a son named Jack, who is obviously genetically related to both of them.
** [[spoiler:Willow and Dawn]] get a double dose of this, since they [[spoiler:have lived twice.]]
** Camille, after her adoption by Tara and Kennedy.

** PlayedForLaughs when Anya meets Willow in Colorado Springs. Anya had spent time in New York, where she met [[Series/HowIMetYourMother Willow's]] [[Creator/AlysonHannigan Doppelgänger]].

** [[spoiler:Pete Shanahan, Sam's boyfriend/fiancé in the seventh and eighth seasons; while he was a decent person overall in canon, here he often attempts to subtly manipulate Sam's emotions to get her to resign from the SGC so that she can basically 'devote' herself to being his wife. This escalates to the point that he basically tricks her into becoming pregnant by sabotaging her protection methods in the hope that she will resign after giving birth, only for Willow Rosenberg to sense Pete's true intentions and reveal the truth to Sam. Learning of Pete's plans, Sam divorces him and gets him put on the sex offenders register, which costs him his job and forces him to move in with his parents. When Pete later attempts to abduct Sam's daughter Debra- shooting Jacob Carter in the process- the SGC fake Pete's death by using a clone of him to stage a thwarted home invasion and then exile Pete to another planet with a broken DHD and no other sentient life; they will send him supplies for the first six months, after which he will have to fend for himself]].

* DramaticIrony: When [[spoiler:Willow]] is being offered Ascension, anyone familiar with the relevant SG-1 episode knows that the strange guy "Jim" is really Anubis. [[spoiler:Willow]] doesn't know and there's no indication of a later realization, either.

* WakingUpElsewhere: Happens pretty much any time someone [[DreamingOfThingsToCome dreams about the future]].

* TheyDo: Willow and Faith
** Willow and Tara in ''Aftermath of a Mirror Journey''.

** Once Eileen Lehane gets sent to prison, she gets sober and clean. Then the true horror of [[AbusiveParents what she]] [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil inflicted on]] Faith hits her.
** Athena, after she realizes how [[spoiler:the Furlings [[HumanSacrifice used]] the [[CloneArmy clones]] she gave them]]. Then she sees the end result: her adopted daughter [[spoiler:is forced to become the First Slayer]].

** Sam, immediately after [[ManipulativeBastard Pete]] [[AlcoholInducedIdiocy manipulates her]] into [[ForcedOutOfTheCloset outing]] Willow at her (Sam's) wedding.

* NearRapeExperience: Happens to Faith in one universe, where she gets Called as a Slayer just in time to use the enhanced strength to throw her would-be rapist into the wall.

** When Willow visits Sunnydale, Buffy takes her on a tour of the Slayer Council. The receptionist (Amy) tries to look in Willow's head and Willow gives her a headache for her efforts.
** Vampires are immune to Wraith stunners, though the energy blast can knock them back a bit.

** PlayedForLaughs when Anya meets Willow in Colorado Springs. Anya had spent time in New York, where she met [[Series/HowIMetYourMother Willow's]] [[Creator/AlysonHannigan Doppelgänger]].

** [[spoiler:Pete Shanahan, Sam's boyfriend/fiancé in the seventh and eighth seasons; while he was a decent person overall in canon, here he often attempts to subtly manipulate Sam's emotions to get her to resign from the SGC so that she can basically 'devote' herself to being his wife. This escalates to the point that he basically tricks her into becoming pregnant by sabotaging her protection methods in the hope that she will resign after giving birth, only for Willow Rosenberg to sense Pete's true intentions and reveal the truth to Sam. Learning of Pete's plans, Sam divorces him and gets him put on the sex offenders register, which costs him his job and forces him to move in with his parents.

* LoveTranscendsSpacetime: When Willow gets lost in an AlternateUniveres with no SGC or access to a quantum mirror, Faith (with some magical help from Tara and medical help from Dr. Lam) uses her connection to Willow to send her soul across the intervening realities to her wife.

* TheNoseKnows: After [[spoiler:Willow has her consciousness transferred to a new body]], their scent changes. Angel and Spike notice it, but [[CutHimselfShaving the cover story]] satisfies them. [[spoiler:Oz, on the other hand]], doesn't believe a word of it and has to be read in on part of the Stargate program to stop believing [[spoiler:Willow]] is actually a demon in disguise.

* RougeAnglesOfSatin: "Yea" shows up quite a bit instead of "Yeah".

** Faith almost gets kidnapped by a Watchers' Council Special Operations team shortly after the start of ''Born Into Darkness''. SG-1 steps in. The Council [[spoiler:succeeds later on and plans to kill her after a show trial]]. Sam calls in [[spoiler:[[TheCavalry Thor]].]]

* IgnorantOfTheirOwnIgnorance: During ''Born into Darkness'', the Council's various agents in the American government are constantly undermined in their efforts to regain control of Faith as they don't realise just how dangerous the 'Deep Space Radar Telemetry' project can be.

* MagicAIsMagicA: In ''Born Into Darkness'', [[spoiler:the SGC are able to make Marcie Ross visible using the [=TERs=], even though Marcie's invisibility isn't the same as the Reetou]].

With 200+ chapters and over 1.5 million words to date, the story is quite a DoorStopper. Some of the spin-offs are quite long and ongoing, as well. Direct spinoffs (i.e. universes where characters from ''An Extraordinary Journey'' interact with the locals in some way) are noted as such below.

* DoorStopper: Fully half the stories qualify. The main story is at 1.5 million words and counting. Combined across all the [[RecursiveFanfiction stories]] it's over 2.8 million[[note]]415k from ''Aftermath of a Mirror Journey'', 300k from ''The Faith Chronicles'', 224k from ''Tara Sheppard'', and 173k from ''The Return''[[/note]].

->"I don't belong here. I stayed for others, I didn't stay for me. I want a new life, a different life than the one I'm in right now. [[MakeAWish I wish]] I could go somewhere I would feel needed for being me. I want to be around people who want me for me, somewhere I don’t need to use magic to cause others pain."
-->--'''Willow Rosenberg''', the words that kick off the story in Chapter 1.

* CrossoverRelative:

* FanFic/TaraSheppard: Has its own page. The title pretty well sums up the premise: what if Tara was actually John Sheppard's half-sister? Incomplete.
* [[https://archiveofourown.org/series/507024 The Faith Chronicles]]: A RelatedInTheAdaptation and ForWantOfANail Fic in which Sam Carter had a baby at 16. The Watchers’ Council won’t allow any military—including a military family -- to have a potential Slayer, so they kidnap her, use a spell to make Sam believe she was stillborn, and give her to a family in Boston: the Lehanes. Spins off of ''An Extraordinary Journey'' Chapter 129.

* CrossoverRelatives: Characters speculate that the resemblance between [=SGC=] Major Lauren Satterfield and the Number Eight Cylon models is because the Eights were based on a distant relative of Satterfield's, and [[spoiler:it is eventually revealed that Willow Rosenberg and Dawn Summers are formerly-Ascended Ancients who were actually sisters in their original lives; Athena/Willow chose to take human form again as an experiment, and Hera/Dawn bonded herself to the Key to help trap it and prevent Glory using it to destroy the universe]].

* KnightTemplar:
** Athena wanted to create a CloneArmy to exterminate the Wraith.
** In ''The Faith Chronicles'', Kennedy's loyalty to the Watcher's Council is so great that she is willing to betray the gang by telling the Council the truth about Dawn, even though this will almost certainly result in Dawn being killed or outright erased from existence in the name of preventing Glory from finding the Key. She even goes so far as as to [[spoiler:emotionally manipulate Willow into a relationship so that she can influence Willow's exploration of her magic, culminating in her briefly brainwashing Willow to try and kill Faith (made worse by the fact that the brainwashed Willow ended up attacking Faith's five-year-old clone who had legitimately done nothing)]].
* KnightTemplarParent:
** In AEJ, Jacob is ready to tear Pete apart when he finds out [[spoiler:he sexually assaulted Sam by sabotaging her birth control]]
** In ''The Faith Chronicles'', the Watchers' Council tries one time too many to mess with Faith, ignoring numerous warnings, including from the President and PM, not to. Sam ends up [[spoiler:calling '''Thor''' to get them to back off]].

** In ''The Faith Chronicles'', the Watchers' Council has agents in place with easy access to various world leaders who have magical trinkets that they can use to invoke this trope when the leader in question learns something the Council doesn't want them to.

* LongLostRelative:
** Faith in ''The Faith Chronicles'' is actually Sam Carter's daughter Ellie, whom she thought was stillborn.
** [[spoiler:Willow and Dawn]] turn out to be siblings. [[spoiler:specifically, Athena and Hera.]]

** In ''The Faith Chronicles'': Sam towards Faith and, later, Ella. Aunt Betty also deserves mention: when she hears that Ellie is alive, her first reaction is to yell at Sam for sitting around talking to her instead of going to get her daughter.

* ManchurianAgent: A spell cast by [[spoiler:Kennedy]] turns [[spoiler:Willow]] into one in ''The Faith Chronicles''. [[spoiler:Kennedy wants Faith dead, and is willing to brainwash her own girlfriend to achieve it.]]
* ManipulativeBastard:
** Pete. He convinces Sam that quitting the Air Force is the best thing to do, deliberately tries to destroy her friendship with Willow[[note]]and the rest of the SGC, but he ''especially'' dislikes Willow[[/note]], and also [[spoiler:sabotages her birth control so she gets pregnant]].
** Kennedy in ''The Faith Chronicles'' convinces Willow to learn ever more powerful and dangerous magic, [[spoiler:manipulates her into killing Oz]], and also [[spoiler:turns Willow into a ManchurianAgent]] in an attempt to [[spoiler:kill Faith]].
** Quentin Travers, head of the Watchers' Council, in ''The Faith Chronicles''. He ensures that any potential Slayers born into a military family are kidnapped, with the parents being convinced the child was stillborn through magic. When the President and Prime Minister find out and start calling him out on it, he has their [[LaserGuidedAmnesia memories wiped]]. Then there's all the crap he pulls trying to capture or kill Faith.

** In ''The Faith Chronicles'' [[spoiler:Kennedy]] uses a spell to turn [[spoiler:Willow]] into a ManchurianAgent and kill Faith.

** The whole Watchers' Council doesn't regard the SGC as a threat in ''The Faith Chronicles''. As far as they know, they look into “Deep Space Radar Telemetry”.

** In ''The Faith Chronicles'', Glory is immune to staff blasts and Zat bolts. [[spoiler:Unfortunately for her, she's ''not'' immune to the unstable vortex from an activating Stargate.]]

* NoteToSelf:
** An unintentional example in ''The Faith Chronicles'' convinces the President that Hammond is telling him the truth and the Watchers' Council [[LaserGuidedAmnesia wiped his memory]].
** AEJ!Faith leaves a video message for her [[AlternateSelf local counterpart]] in the ''Aftermath of a Mirror Journey'' universe. Willow does much the same thing to her alternate, only that message is [[NeuroVault mental]] and set to unlock when Dawn comes around.

** In ''The Faith Chronicles'', when the Watchers' Council is looking to execute Faith after a show trial, [[spoiler:[[TheCavalry Thor shows up]]]] and tells them that she is under ''his'' protection.
--->'''Councilor''': Okay, we just pissed off [[spoiler:a god]].

* OminousMessageFromTheFuture: The message sent back in the ''Faith Chronicles'' version of [[Recap/StargateSG1S4E162010 2010]] differs from canon in two ways: Faith's double manages to carry the note through the gate to the past [[AlmostDeadGuy before dying]], and Faith added “The Aschen are assholes.” to the note.

*** It works in the other direction, too. Glory, in ''The Faith Chronicles'', has no way to find the Key when Dawn is being hidden on another planet. [[spoiler:Nor does she have a way to defend against getting hit by the kawoosh of a Stargate, then being kicked through the open gate.]]

* OverTheTopSecret:
** Willow and Faith's files are so classified that only 3 people can look at them: the President, the Director of Homeworld Security, and the head of the SGC.
** In ''The Faith Chronicles'', the President creates a file so secret, only he knows about it. When a Watchers' Council operative gives him LaserGuidedAmnesia, that file helps him realize what's going on.
* OvernightAgeUp: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] with Faith in ''The Faith Chronicles''. She wakes up 4 years old with no memory of anything that happened after that point in her life. This version is later found to be a clone created by Loki. Sam and Faith decide to name her Ella.

** In ''The Faith Chronicles'', Jacob quickly becomes this when he learns about Faith's rough childhood, making it clear on several occasions that anyone going after his new granddaughter will have to answer to him.

* ParentChildTeam: Sam and Faith in ''The Faith Chronicles''.

* ParentsKnowTheirChildren: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] in ''The Faith Chronicles''. Sam feels like she knows their waitress, “Ann”, but doesn't realize who she is. Of course, that's probably because the Watchers' Council used magic to make Sam think her daughter was stillborn.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
** Faith to the Watchers' Council in ''The Faith Chronicles''
** Willow to the local version of the First Evil in the “Going Home” arc.

** In ''The Faith Chronicles'', when Sam is informed that Faith is dead, she tries to attack the nearest representative of the Watcher’s Council despite being currently part of a meeting with the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Britain. Once Sam’s collected herself, she apologises for her actions and states that she’ll understand if they want to file a report on her misconduct, but both world leaders assure her that nobody will hold it against her for reacting that way after losing her daughter again.

* ReformedButRejected: Faith in ''The Faith Chronicles''. The only people who believe her HeelFaceTurn are Tara and Anya.

* RelatedInTheAdaptation:
** Not only do characters speculate that the resemblance between SGC Major Lauren Satterfield and [[spoiler:the Number Eight Cylon models]] is because [[spoiler:the Eights were based on]] a distant relative of Satterfield's, but it is also eventually revealed that [[spoiler:Willow Rosenberg and Dawn Summers are formerly-Ascended Ancients who were actually sisters in their original lives, and the daughters of none other than Moros before he adopted the name ‘Merlin'; Athena/Willow chose to take human form again to try and help Sineya's successor (i.e. the Slayer), and Hera/Dawn bonded herself to the Key to help prevent Glory using it to destroy the universe]].
** Willow and [[spoiler:Dawn are the descended sisters Athena and Hera Ren, respectively.]]
** Sam and Faith in ''The Faith Chronicles'' are mother and daughter
** There are one or two passing mentions of Faith's cousin, a cop in Boston [[Series/RizzoliAndIsles named Rizzoli]].

* ShapedLikeItself:
** Faith/Ellie while [[spoiler:aboard Loki's ship]] in ''The Faith Chronicles''
--->'''Faith/Ellie''': God of [[spoiler:Mischief]], huh? Well I'm Ellie, Mistress of Pain. Very, very painful pain...
** While on Atlantis, Willow identifies Angel as a "Specialist" for their upcoming fight against the Wraith.

* ShutUpKirk:
** The Watchers' Council to Faith in ''The Faith Chronicles''
** Glory to [[spoiler:Melina and Hera]] while they are protecting the monks from the Order of Dagon, who are trying to hide the Key.

** Faith in ''The Faith Chronicles'' once she learns who her real mother is.

** Sam in ''The Faith Chronicles'' after her daughter is stillborn.

** The Scoobies and Kennedy with Faith in ''The Faith Chronicles'' while they're dealing with Glory.

* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Particularly applies to Glory in ''The Faith Chronicles''; [[spoiler:after Glory has been worn down by a spell from Willow that destroyed her clothes and hair and taken a beating from Faith, she's teleported right in front of the Stargate so that she's caught in the kawoosh. This leaves Glory without her skin but still conscious, until Faith kicks her through the Stargate, leaving her on a world with no human life and binary suns so hot that she will quickly die whenever she reverts to her human identity]].

* TragicStillbirth: In ''The Faith Chronicles'', the Watchers' Council uses magic to convince Sam that this happened.

* TheUnapologetic: In ''The Faith Chronicles'', Kennedy doesn't feel any remorse for [[spoiler:goading Willow into killing Oz]], or [[spoiler:turning Willow into a ManchurianAgent to kill Faith]].

** The Watchers' Council to the SGC in general and Sam Carter in particular in ''The Faith Chronicles''.

* VehicularKidnapping:
** Attempted by the Watchers' Council against Faith at the start of ''The Faith Chronicles''. SG-1 foils the plot, which kicks off the story.
** Attempted by an AlternateUniverse Initiative against the [[AlternateSelf local Willow]] after they get a look at AEJ!Willow's powers. SG-1 (and Willow) foils the attempt.

** Faith in ''The Faith Chronicles'' to the Scoobies, Tara, and Kennedy after she [[spoiler:finds Oz's grave]].

** The Watchers' Council in ''The Faith Chronicles'', to both Faith and Dawn. The former they steal from her mother and give to abusive parents, the latter they are willing to kill to prevent Glory from getting The Key.
*** At one point, [[spoiler:Willow nearly kills Ella, a five-year-old clone of Faith, but on this occasion she had been brainwashed and programmed to kill Faith and was just reacting to that programming, and is horrified and disgusted once she returns to herself]].

* WrongGenreSavvy: In ''The Faith Chronicles'', the SGC basically use this against the Watchers' Council after they abduct Faith by calling in a favour from Thor so that he will confront the Council during Faith's trial in his 'god' form and order them to leave Faith alone. The result is so effective that Tara calls Faith afterwards to mention that her mother must be a very powerful witch to have invoked Thor himself in that manner, although she also advises that Sam avoid such powerful magics in future.

* AbsenceOfEvidence: Granted, one that most would have overlooked; in ''The Faith Chronicles'', when [[spoiler:the Council fake Faith's death with a mystically-created clone, Janet realises that the clone is a fake because the clone's stomach is empty; prior to her abduction Faith had eaten a full steak dinner, which should have still been in her stomach if she'd been killed for real]].

* ActingUnnatural: Willow in ''The Faith Chronicles'' is perfectly willing to lie, but has so many tells that her friends can realize instantly she's doing it. This becomes a problem when she learns ClassifiedInformation about the SGC. [[spoiler:She solves the problem via self-inflicted LaserGuidedAmnesia.]]

* ActionMom: Sam in ''The Faith Chronicles''. [[spoiler:And in the main story after Debra is born]]

* AdaptationalSexuality: In ''The Faith Chronicles'', [[spoiler:Buffy]] is gay. Or maybe bi. At any rate, by the end of the first story, they want to explore a relationship with [[spoiler:Willow.]]

** Kennedy from ''The Faith Chronicles'' is willing to manipulate Willow into [[spoiler:killing a transformed Oz]] and later [[spoiler:turns Willow into a ManchurianAgent]] with the goal of [[spoiler:killing Faith]].

* AlienAbducteesFightBack: Faith in ''The Faith Chronicles'' when [[spoiler:Loki]] kidnaps her to experiment on her.

* AlmostDeadGuy: In the ''Faith Chronicles'' version of [[Recap/StargateSG1S4E162010 2010]], the Faith from 2010 makes it through the gate with the note about the Aschen, then promptly dies.

** Early on in ''The Faith Chronicles'' Sam tells Faith/Ellie that her (Sam's) high school boyfriend is listed on {{Website/Facebook}} as being married with children. Facebook didn't even launch until 2004, and only allowed everyone to sign up in 2006. Faith meeting Sam occurred during the [=SG-1=] episode [[Recap/StargateSG1S3E18ShadesOfGrey Shades of Grey]], which was set in 2000.

** Ella Carter is a 4-year-old clone of Faith made by Loki in ''The Faith Chronicles''. He didn't mean for her to be that age, but didn't bother to check that the cloning went correctly before switching her with the teenaged Faith.
** The Watchers' Council pulls this on Sam in ''The Faith Chronicles'' with “Ellie's” stillborn body, [[spoiler:then again with “Faith's” body when they kidnap her]].

* BabyMorphEpisode: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in ''The Faith Chronicles''. Faith has been de-aged to a 4-year-old, losing all her memories of everything after that point in the process. Except it's actually a clone that Loki screwed up making, and the original Faith is still around.

** Faith and Ella from ''The Faith Chronicles''.

** When TheCavalry [[spoiler:in the person of Thor]] arrives to rescue Faith in ''The Faith Chronicles'', they get to give one to [[spoiler:the Watchers' Council.]]

** [[spoiler:Kennedy]] is viewed this way by the end of ''Born Into Darkness''. Crossing that MoralEventHorizon didn't do her any favors.
** Someone realizing Faith ''isn't'' this is a good indication of CharacterDevelopment in ''The Faith Chronicles''

** [[spoiler:Thor personally]] in ''The Faith Chronicles'' after Faith [[spoiler:gets kidnapped]].

* BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood: In ''The Faith Chronicles'' this is [[spoiler:Kennedy's]] stated reason for turning [[spoiler:Willow]] into a ManchurianAgent with a mission to kill [[spoiler:Faith]]. Whether she actually believes it or not is unclear.

** Sam in ''The Faith Chronicles'' when [[spoiler:the Watchers' Council supposedly kills Faith]].

** General Hammond, Faith, and various SGC people in ''The Faith Chronicles'' arrive just in time to lay a verbal beatdown on Quentin Travers and whisk Dawn (and Joyce) away to a place she'll be safe from Glory (and the Watchers' Council).

* ClosetKey: Willow for [[spoiler:Buffy]] in ''The Faith Chronicles''.

* ContrivedCoincidence: In ''The Faith Chronicles'', what are the chances that Faith would randomly pick Colorado Springs to run away to? After she gets there, what are the chances she gets a job at Sam's[[note]]Sam is her birth mother. The Watchers' Council used magic to make her believe her daughter was stillborn.[[/note]] favorite restaurant and wind up waiting SG-1's table at the exact time a Council wetworks squad tracks her down?
* ConvenientlyUnverifiableCoverStory:
** After Faith leaves Sunnydale in ''The Faith Chronicles'', [[spoiler:Oz leaves]] to go spend time out of contact in the middle of nowhere in Canada. Of course what ''actually'' happened was [[spoiler:Willow used magic to kill him while he was transformed]], then begged everyone to not tell Faith because [[spoiler:Willow didn't want people to think she was like Faith]].
** Also from ''The Faith Chronicles'', how Faith dealt with Glory. She told the Scoobies she dropped Glory in a volcano on Hawaii, which would leave no corpse. What she actually did was get Glory hit by the Stargate's kawoosh, then sent her through the wormhole to a DeathWorld

* CrashIntoHello: In ''The Faith Chronicles'', Faith meets Tara when she's running down a stairwell, trying to get out of the hospital and they collide. Faith takes Tara's clothes, money, cards, and keys, then books it out of town. They eventually become friends [[spoiler:and, possibly, a couple.]]

* CrossingTheBurntBridge: In ''The Faith Chronicles'', Faith goes back to Sunnydale to help deal with Glory.

* DeadPersonImpersonation: In ''The Faith Chronicles'', Kennedy uses magic to impersonate [[spoiler:Oz, whom Willow killed,]] in some phone calls to Faith.
** Angel thinks someone is using information provided by the First Evil to impersonate one of Angelus' early victims, [[spoiler:specifically Kathy, his sister]].

** [[spoiler:Happens to Oz]] in ''The Faith Chronicles'' due to [[spoiler:Kennedy manipulating Willow into it.]]

* DemotedToExtra: In ''The Faith Chronicles'', Pete Shanahan meets Sam in what would have been the fifth season when the two of them visit Sam’s brother Mark at the same time, but Pete swiftly tries to reveal that Sam’s newly-discovered daughter ‘Ellie’ is actually wanted criminal Faith Lehane. By this point, not only are the SGC all aware of Faith’s past, but her record has been cleared to the extent that Pete would have had to break the law to find any evidence of Faith’s past crimes, thus ending any possibility of he and Sam having a relationship.

** Teenaged Sam, when she loses her baby in ''The Faith Chronicles''.

* DontMakeMeDestroyYou:
** [[spoiler:Buffy]] and assorted others trying to convince Willow reveal what she does [[spoiler:after they take her captive at the Slayer Council]].
** In ''The Faith Chronicles'' Sam, General Hammond, the President, ''and'' the PM all warn the Watchers' Council to stop going after Faith. They don't listen, and [[spoiler:Sam calls in '''[[TheCavalry Thor]]'''.]]

%%* ExtremelyProtectiveChild: Faith towards Sam in ''The Faith Chronicles''.

** In ''The Faith Chronicles'', Kennedy engineers things so [[spoiler:Willow kills a transformed Oz.]]

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: In ''The Faith Chronicles'', Kennedy is ultimately this to the rest of the Scooby Gang. Buffy, Anya and Tara have no faith in the Council after what they have learnt about their role in Faith being taken from her mother as an infant and Giles simply tolerates her presence because he has to put up with the Council's orders. While Kennedy is dating Willow, it's soon made clear that she is emotionally manipulating Willow with the goal of basically using the witch as a weapon for the Council given her magical potential, and Xander is soon forced to face that his own friendship with Kennedy was mainly based around Kennedy encouraging his own hatred of Faith, which Xander gets over when the rest of the Gang make their own changed opinion clear.

* GoodIsNotSoft: In ''The Faith Chronicles'', ''everyone'' warns Travers to stop messing with Faith. He doesn't listen, so Sam [[spoiler:calls in Thor]].

** In ''The Faith Chronicles'', Sam has made a habit of regularly visiting Ellie's grave. She stops once she finds out Ellie is alive.

** Sam in ''The Faith Chronicles'' when [[spoiler:the Watchers' Council supposedly killed Faith.]]

** Sam in ''The Faith Chronicles'' when her daughter is stillborn. It happens again, years later, when she realizes she ''wasn't'' stillborn and Faith is that daughter. [[spoiler:And ''yet again'' when the Watchers' Council kidnaps Faith and leaves a magically-made corpse duplicate behind.]]
** Willow in ''The Faith Chronicles'' after she [[spoiler:kills Oz]].

* {{Hypocrite}}: Faith basically accuses the Scoobies of this in ''The Faith Chronicles'' when she learns that [[spoiler:Willow killed Oz by accident, as they condemned Faith for basically the same thing and yet assure Willow that what she did was an accident (although it's later revealed that Willow was manipulated into it by Kennedy)]].

** In ''The Faith Chronicles'', there's Sam explaining to Faith about her daughter, Ellie.
*** And every subsequent time Sam explains about Ellie/Faith.

* ItsASmallWorldAfterAll: In ''The Faith Chronicles'', what are the chances that Faith would randomly pick Colorado Springs to run to? The only place where it would even be possible for her to encounter her birth mother.

** Kennedy in ''The Faith Chronicles''. She doesn't even care when her machinations almost get a 4-year-old girl killed.

* KangarooCourt: The Watchers' Council in ''The Faith Chronicles''.
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: In ''The Faith Chronicles'', the Watchers' Council gets away with kidnapping newborn Potentials born into military families for a long time, though the only known case so far is Faith. When SG-1 runs into Faith, it starts a chain of DisasterDominoes that involve getting the President, the Prime Minister, and [[spoiler:Thor]] pissed at them. It's worse than just killing people; the PM has them '''''[[AuditThreat audited]]'''''.

** [[spoiler:Kennedy]] in ''The Faith Chronicles'' when she turns [[spoiler:Willow (her girlfriend)]] into a ManchurianAgent with implanted orders to kill [[spoiler:Faith]].
** Earlier in ''The Faith Chronicles'', everyone in Sunnydale agreed not to tell [[spoiler:Faith that Oz]] was dead. The charade was kept up via [[DeadPersonImpersonation magical voice manipulation]] on phone calls.
* KillItWithFire: In ''The Faith Chronicles'', Faith kills Glory by teleporting them to Hawaii and dropping Glory in an active volcano. [[spoiler:At least, that's the cover story. She couldn't very well tell everyone she had them beamed in front of a Stargate, had Glory get hit by the unstable vortex, and— while the hellgoddess was distracted by the intense pain of having her skin destroyed— kicked her through the gate to a DeathWorld.]]

* FiveManBand: By the start of ''The Aftermath: The End'', all the original members of SG-1 have gone on to other things. The team is still an example of this trope.
** TheLeader: Cam
** NumberTwo: Satterfield
** TheSmartGuy: [[spoiler:Willow]]
** TheBigGuy: [[spoiler:Buffy]]
** TheChick: [[spoiler:Tara]]
