History Fanfic / BringUsHopeKamenRiderWitch

* AdaptationalVillainy: Bria in canon was already a massive jerk, but in this fic, [[spoiler:she's a Phantom]].

* BreatherEpisode: After the events of the serious crossover that was ''Fanfic/KamenRiderXKamenRiderWitchAndAmpTheDarkSideOfHope'', "The Carol of Krampmus Time~" is a light-hearted ChristmasEpisode that focuses on Luz trying to help out her friends and found family in any way she can for Krampmus, the Demon Realm's answer to Christmas. HilarityEnsues, although Luz eventually explains that her overly generous attitude is the result of [[spoiler: learning how [[EvilMeScaresMe Oscura]] came to power when they started out in the same place, and fearing she could one day go down the same path]].

* MistakenForServant: In "The Carol of Krampmus Time~", Luz dons a "butler-maid" outfit (essentially a combination of the stereotypical butler and maid attire), and decides to serve Amity for the rest of the day. Of course, [[RichBitch Odalia]] assumes Amity made Luz her personal servant full-time, causing all sorts of embarrassment for the youngest Blight.

* OlderAlterEgo: Similar to [[Series/PowerRangersTurbo Justin Stewart]], Luz appears older than she actually is when she transforms into Kamen Rider Witch.

** While she tries her best to keep it a secret, eventually, Willow, Gus, King, Hooty, Eda, Lilith, Gwendolyn, Barcus, and Skara learn Luz's identity as Kamen Rider Witch.

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged]] with Luz and her inner Phantom, La Lechuza. While La Lechuza is clearly unhappy about being forced to serve as the source of Luz's Rider powers, she still cooperates with her for the most part, though she admits it's only because if Luz dies, she dies too. At the same time, even though she grumbles about being tethered to Luz, she's still willing to give her advice in battle. Compared to [[Series/KamenRiderWizard Dragon]], who initially tried to goad Haruto into despair any opportunity he got, she's nowhere near as hostile, though it still takes a while for her to really warm up to Luz.

On a blood red moonlit night, a dark ritual is conducted, out of thirty-one only one survivor is left, and her name is Luz Noceda. Now she is granted her greatest wish, the ability to wield magic, but more than that, destiny has come calling. [[Series/KamenRiderWizard Haruto Souma, Kamen Rider Wizard]], unable to protect the world of the Boiling Isles from the evils of the Phantoms, gifts Luz the tools she will need to combat the Phantoms and protect her friends.

But there are still mysteries abound. Who enacted the Sabbath ritual? Who do the Phantoms serve? And what is their ultimate goal? Luz will have to rely on her knowledge of all things anime and Rider, as well as her friends, to solve this mystery and save not only the demon realm, but the human realm as well. Love, struggle, tragedy, laughter, and rider kicks abound! It's SHOWTIME!

* {{Cliffhanger}}: [[spoiler: After Luz and La Lechuza are brought back from the in-between world, something from behind the imperfect portal grabs her and it just ends there. To be continued...]]

* MistakenForMasturbating: When Eda walks in on Luz as she's trying to hide the new rings she's created, Eda (unaware that Luz is Witch at this point) assumes Luz needed some [[UnusualEuphemism "alone time"]]. It doesn't help that the process of creating new rings is physically taxing for Luz, so when she eats a lot at breakfast the next morning in order to replenish her mana, it only further justifies Eda's assumption.

* ShoutOut: The Phantom Troll’s personality is very similar to [[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce Rath's]], even down to [[ThirdPersonPerson referring to himself in the third person]] and using "Let me tell you something..." as a {{Catchphrase}}

* VillainHasAPoint: Vampire/Reven, as psychotic as he is during his monologue, is right about Belos stifling the magic potential of everyone with the coven system.

* AscendedFangirl: Luz in this story is a big fan of the Kamen Riders. Now she gets to live out her fantasies of being both a which and a superhero.

* BreatherEpisode: After the events of the serious crossover that was ''Fanfic/KamenRiderXKamenRiderWitchAndAmpTheDarkSideOfHope'', "The Carol of Krampmus Time~" is a light-hearted ChristmasEpisode that focuses on Luz trying to help out her friends and found family in any way she can for Krampmus, the Demon Realm's answer to Christmas. HilarityEnsues, although Luz eventually explains that her overly generous attitude is the result of [[spoiler:[[EvilMeScaresMe learning how Oscura came to power when they started out in the same place, and fearing she could one day go down the same path]]]].

** While she tries her best to keep it a secret, eventually, Willow, Gus, King, Hooty, Eda, Lilith, Gwendolyn, and Barcus learn Luz’s identity as Kamen Rider Witch.

* SynchronousEpisodes: "The Ballad of Amity Blight" and "The Rise of Heka" take place during the events of the crossover fic ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/35408020/chapters/88257556 Kamen Rider X Kamen Rider Amp & Witch: Heroes Unite!]]'', where Luz is currently in Amphibia, forcing Amity to [[spoiler:step up as Kamen Rider Heka]].

** In one chapter, Luz is sent into a coma after a near-fatal battle with a Phantom, so La Lechuza essentially possesses Luz while she recovers. When "Luz" sees Amity at Hexside that day, she realizes that the girl has a crush on Luz, so she decides to flirt with Amity to see how she would react. Even when Luz asks why La Lechuza did that, all she said was that [[ItAmusedMe "It was rather fun."]]

** After getting some advice from Haruto on how to stop a giant crab monster, Witch uses a combination of her Fire Style, her Illusion, and Bard rings to perform an attack similar to the Ongeki-Dou [[Series/KamenRiderDecade Kamen Rider Decade]] and [[Series/KamenRiderHibiki the other Oni]] performed to defeat a different crab monster.

The fic is part of a shared universe known as the [[https://archiveofourown.org/series/2919363 Disney Riders]] series. Early into the fic’s run, there is a crossover with a story in the same series, ''Fanfic/HeroesFromAnotherWorld'', a FusionFic between ''{{WesternAnimation/Amphibia}}'' and ''Franchise/KamenRider''. The crossover fic can be read [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/35408020/chapters/88257556 here]].

There is also a side story titled ''Kamen Rider Witch Alternative: The Ballad of Oscura'', which explores an alternate version of Luz unlocking a more malicious set of Rider powers that drives her to stage a one-woman coup on Emperor Belos and abolish the Coven System entirely. It can be read [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/38841297/chapters/97126371 here]] on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn and [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14081884/1/Kamen-Rider-Witch-Alternative-The-Ballad-of-Oscura here]] on Website/FanfictionDotNet.

While it is not written by Creator/MichaelRavencroft, there is yet another side story that focuses on the Kamen Riders of the Boiling Isles teaming up with the Showa Era Kamen Riders, called ''Kamen Rider Witch Special: The 14 Riders VS. The Shocker Coven''. The fic, written by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/Multiverse_Sentai_Peaceman/pseuds/Multiverse_Sentai_Peaceman Multiverse_Sentai_Peaceman]] (with help from Ravencroft himself), can be read [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/41498793/chapters/104074467 here]] on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn, and [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14132072/1/Kamen-Rider-Witch-Special-The-14-Riders-VS-The-Shocker-Coven here]] on Website/FanfictionDotNet.

!!''Kamen Rider Witch Alternative: The Ballad of Oscura'' provides examples of:
* AdaptationExpansion: The effects of the Everlasting Oath are given more detail here than they were in canon.
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: While Luz in the main fic is the more heroic Kamen Rider Witch, this fic shows her becoming Kamen Rider Oscura, a Rider with unbelievably powerful magic. Since this fic branches off from the events of [[Recap/TheOwlHouseS1E5Covention "Covention"]], it also means that Luz never discovers the ice, plant, or fire glyphs, as well as any of the associated combos she learns in the second season of the show.
* AdaptationalWimp: [[spoiler: Amity, Hunter, and Emperor Belos don't become Kamen Riders in this fic.]]
* AdaptationalVillainy: The very premise of this fic is several instances of misfortune keep driving Luz to commit increasingly heinous acts, all while she starts to grow mad with power.
** Boscha is this to a lesser extent. [[spoiler:When she admits she has feelings to an unconscious Amity while visiting her at the hospital, it's heavily implied that after she asks her out to Grom, once the two are in a relationship, Boscha will be a very controlling girlfriend. It doesn't help that [[SacredFirstKiss she steals Amity's first kiss]] [[DudeShesLikeInAComa while she's still unconscious]]]].
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:After she blatantly admits she doesn't love her family, it's hard to feel bad for Odalia when Oscura brutally kills her]].
* BreakTheCutie: '''''WHERE. DO WE. BEGIN?'''''
** [[ForWantOfANail As a result of Lilith managing to hide her cheating during Luz and Amity's witches' duel]], the Everlasting Oath not only forces Luz to admit that she isn't a witch to everyone watching at the arena, but the Oath physically prevents her from learning any form of magic. Any time Luz tries drawing the light glyph, the only spell she still knows at this point, only results in her body being grievously harmed and left with a nasty scar. [[CoveredWithScars And because Luz keeps doing this]]...
** Just when it seems like Morton managed to create a potion capable of breaking the Everlasting Oath, it doesn't work because Luz's biology isn't able to process the ingredients, causing her to vomit several times.
** Luz is reduced to begging Amity to undo the Everlasting Oath, and points out that even if she chooses to leave the Boiling Isles, people will see her scars and assume Camila has been abusing her.
** Just when it seems like things couldn't get worse for Luz, [[spoiler:the revelation that there is a version of her who never had to suffer like she did causes her to have a slight mental breakdown before she decides to team up with the Collector]].
** [[spoiler:Amity is forced to see her poor choices lead to Luz becoming an unstoppable tyrant, and all she can do is try in vain to make up for her mistake by attempting to kill her, [[MurderSuicide and then herself]]]].
* TheCanKickedHim: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. [[spoiler:One of Amity's many plans to kill Oscura had her ambush her while she was in the bathroom. Even though Oscura had seen thwarting Amity's assassination attempts as a game, [[EvenEvilHasStandards she was so upset that she and Amity agreed that the bathroom was off-limits]]]].
* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to the author's other works, as well as both pieces of source material, this fic is much more bleak.
* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:Odalia is killed by Oscura late into the fic. To a lesser extent, the Owl Beast is also killed when Oscura cures Eda of her curse]].
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:Luz/Oscura rises to power, and nobody is able to stop her as she plans to conquer Earth and show them her wrath, planning to ally with the Collector to do so. To make things worse, Belos has become a Phantom, and successfully created a portal to escape the Demon Realm]].
* DisabilitySuperpower: Hunter's lack of a bile sac prevents him from falling victim to Luz's [[EnergyAbsorption Gluttonous Devouring]].
* {{Elseworld}}: This is a story that shows what could have happened if Amity didn't undo the Everlasting Oath.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler:When the Collector tells Oscura about how there is an alternate version of Luz who is a hero with a happy life, [[LaughingMad Oscura's psychotic laughter]] at the realization that she’s the only version of her who is suffering is enough to slightly disturb him]].
* FailureMontage: During the final chapter, Amity is subjected to one of these as [[spoiler:all of her attempts to kill Oscura are easily thwarted by her, all while Oscura herself sees it as a game]].
* FiveSecondForeshadowing: When it seems like Willow is mortally wounded by one of Luz's spells, Luz isn't able to heal her, even though in the last chapter, she was able to bring Eda back from the brink of death and even heal her curse entirely. Not long after "Willow" dies, Luz realizes that it was an illusion by Adrian, which explains why her magic couldn't heal her.
* GodzillaThreshold: Luz is so desperate to be able to learn magic again, she conducts the Sabbath ritual, unleashing the Phantoms on the Boiling Isles.
* HopeSpot: [[spoiler:Amity seems to be successful in killing Oscura and ending her reign of terror... until Oscura reveals [[ActuallyADoombot Amity only killed a doppelganger of hers]]]].
* ItsAllMyFault: Because Amity never undid the Everlasting Oath even when Luz begged her to, [[spoiler:she believes that she's the reason Oscura is ruling over the Boiling Isles, and makes it her personal goal to assassinate her before killing herself]].
* MeaningfulRename: [[spoiler:As she seizes control of the Boiling Isles, Luz starts to call herself Oscura. “Luz” is a name that means "light" in Spanish, and "Oscura" means "dark"]].
* MookCarryover: [[spoiler:The Phantoms are commanded by Oscura instead of Tiamat and the Titan in this fic]].
* MurderSuicide: [[spoiler:What Amity plans to do to Ocsura as atonement for letting her rise to power in the first place]].
* MythologyGag: [[Series/KamenRiderZiO Woz]] is revealed to be narrating the fic like how he narrated the events of his own series.
* PlotRelevantAgeUp: The Sabbath physically ages Luz up several years after she gets the Philosopher's Stone.
* SanitySlippage: All the power Luz gets goes to her head, and not even the guidance of people like her friends and Eda can stop her from ending her crusade.
* SevenDeadlySins: Oscura's most powerful rings are themed after the Seven Deadly Sins.
** Wrathful Destruction channels all of Oscura's fury into a devastating blast that annihilates anything in its path [[WalkingWasteland with absolutely no hope of life reemerging from it]].
** Gluttonous Devouring [[BroughtDownToNormal completely drains all of the magic from its targets]], even magical items like [[spoiler:Lilith's Palisman]].
** Prideful Strength boosts her magical and physical strength, and [[PsychoactivePowers if she feels more confident in her strength, her powers get even stronger]].
** Lusting Control [[TruthSerums forces the target to tell Oscura the truth]].
** Slothful Slowing allows Oscura to [[TimeStandsStill slow down time to a near standstill]] for either herself or any victim she chooses.
** Greedy Stealing can steal magic like the Gluttonous Devouring ring, but instead of destroying magic, it simply [[EnergyAbsorption siphons it from the victim to boost Oscura’s own strength]].
** Envious Creation lets Oscura to either [[ThePowerOfCreation create perfect duplicates of things]] or [[MasterOfDisguise change her physical appearance]].
* SkewedPriorities: When Amity confesses to using an Everlasting Oath on someone, Odalia panics, not because of what could happen to the person Amity used the spell on, but because she's afraid of getting sued by the victim. Once she learns that the Everlasting Oath was used on a human child, she stops worrying entirely.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Because Lilith got away with secretly helping Amity cheat at the witches' duel, Luz was sent down the path of darkness that caused her to conquer the Boiling Isles. Of course, as far as Amity is concerned, she believes that ''she's'' this trope.

* TheCanKickedHim: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. [[spoiler:One of Amity's many plans to kill Oscura had her ambush her while she was in the bathroom. Even though Oscura had seen thwarting Amity's assassination attempts as a game, [[EvenEvilHasStandards she was so upset that she requested the bathroom be off limits for Amity's assassination attempts]]]].

Even though Oscura had seen thwarting Amity's assassination attempts as a game, [[EvenEvilHasStandards she was so upset that she requested the bathroom be off limits for Amity's assassination attempts]]].]

** Gluttonous Devouring [[BroughtDownToNormal completely drains all of the magic from its targets]], even magical items like Lilith's Palisman.

!!''Kamen Rider Witch Special: The 14 Riders VS. The Shocker Coven'' contains examples of:

* {{Crossover}}: Luz, Amity, and Hunter team up with the eleven Showa Riders, including [[Series/KamenRider Hongo Takeshi/Kamen Rider Ichigo, Hayato Ichimonji/Kamen Rider Nigo]], [[Series/KamenRiderV3 Shiro Kazami/Kamen Rider V3, Joji Yuki/Riderman]], [[Series/KamenRiderX Keisuke Jin/Kamen Rider X]], [[Series/KamenRiderAmazon Amazon/Kamen Rider Amazon]], [[Series/KamenRiderStronger Shigeru Jo/Kamen Rider Stronger]], [[Series/KamenRiderSkyrider Hiroshi Tsukuba/Skyrider]], [[Series/KamenRiderSuper1 Kazuya Oki/Kamen Rider Super-1]], [[Film/BirthOfTheTenthGatherAllKamenRiders Ryo Murasame/Kamen Rider ZX]], and [[Series/KamenRiderBlack Kotaro Minami]]/[[Series/KamenRiderBlackRX Kamen Rider Black RX]].
* EnemyMine: Hunter teams up with the heroes in order to stop the Shocker Coven.
* {{Interquel}}: This fic is set between the first two “seasons” of the fanfic, specifically after "The Titan’s Gambit" and before "Race to Eclipse Lake".
* SaveTheVillain: During the first half of the fic, the Showa Riders (sans Hongo) split up to thwart ten simultaneous assassination attempts on all of the coven heads, including Emperor Belos.
* TakeThat: In the notes for the chapter where Super-1 saves the head of the Potions Coven, the author takes a shot at Kazuya’s actor, who is infamous for having scammed his fans out of their money by claiming he needed money to get his Cyclode prop back from the Yakuza.
-->A little message for Super-1’s original actor, Shunsuke Takasugi. Sir, if you are reading this, we know what you did. TURN YOURSELF IN!!!

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged]] with Luz and her inner Phantom, La Lechuza. While La Lechuza is clearly unhappy being forced to serve as the source of Luz's Rider powers, she still cooperates with her for the most part, though she admits it's only because if Luz dies, she dies too. At the same time, even though she grumbles about being tethered to Luz, she's still willing to give her advice in battle. Even compared to [[Series/KamenRiderWizard Dragon]], who initially tried to goad Haruto into despair any opportunity he got, she's nowhere near as hostile, though it still takes a while for her to really warm up to Luz.

** While grilling Lilith for intel on Luz's whereabouts under the belief that she was connected to her kidnapping (in reality, she was kidnapped for the Sabbath), Eda casts a lie detector spell, and to make sure said spell is working correctly, she asks Lilith [[EmbarrassingDampSheets what age she stopped wetting the bed at]].

* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler:When the Collector tells Oscura about [[spoiler:how there is an alternate version of Luz who is a hero with a happy life, [[LaughingMad Oscura's psychotic laughter]] at the realization that she’s the only version of her who is suffering is enough to slightly disturb him]]]].

* HopeSpot: [[spoiler:Amity seems to be successful in killing Oscura and ending her reign of terror… until Oscura reveals [[ActuallyADoombot Amity only killed a doppelganger of hers]]]].

There is also a side story titled ''Kamen Rider Witch Alternative: The Ballad of Oscura'', which explores an alternate version of Luz unlocking a more malicious set of Rider powers that drives her to stage a one-woman coup on Emperor Belos and abolish the Coven System entirely.

Needs wiki magic love.

* WrongContextMagic: A huge part of the fic's initial conflict is how little the residents of the Boiling Isles know about the Phantoms or the Kamen Riders, especially their magic. The whole reason Haruto can't even stay and help train Luz himself is because the Demon Realm is ''actively trying to reject his magic''.

* Cliffhanger: [[spoiler: After Luz and La Lechuza are brought back from the in-between world, something from behind the imperfect portal grabs her and it just ends there. To be continued…]]
