Avantasia Protag AU is the name given to a series of fanfics set in the same universe, based on the albums by the RockOpera project Music/{{Avantasia}}. The original albums are separated into four (so far) "stories" that each contain a different protagonist and his adventures involving several other characters. Each character is portrayed by a different vocalist, usually the creator Tobias Sammet's personal idols and friends, and the protagonist is always portrayed by Tobias Sammet himself. This AU asked the question "What would happen if all four protagonists (shortened to "protags") found themselves living together as roommates?" and quickly expanded out to include chapters on how they met each other, how they handle each others' idiosyncrasies and mental illnesses, supernatural occurrences, and family bonding. This AU is primarily written by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/triumphmusic1980 triumphmusic1980 ]] and is on-going.

* RomanticAsexual: Gabriel and Elderane.

to:

* RippleEffectProofMemory: The chapter "Forgotten" starts with Elderane arriving at the protags' home for a visit. He sees Aaron arguing with Scarecrow because Aaron accidentally erased [[spoiler:Gabriel]] from existence and Scarecrow no longer remembers [[spoiler:Gabriel or Elderane]]. We soon find Entity doesn't remember them either. Aaron is able to remember because he was holding the dimensional-time device and Elderane remembers because he was still in Avantasia when it happened and supposedly the device doesn't reach there.

* RomanticAsexual: Gabriel and Elderane.
Elderane. They are very much in love with each other, but the only physical touch they're interested in is hugs, cuddles, and hand holding.

* CatchingUpOnHistory: In the "Departure" chapter, shortly after arriving in the modern day, Aaron finds the local library and spends all his free time for several weeks at least catching up on everything. Not just history, but modern mechanics and science too. He follows this trope so closely that it's lampshaded when some of the library workers start gossiping about him and joke about him being a time traveler, not realizing it's the truth.
