History Fanfic / ChainsOfReality

* MakeMeWannaShout: A power exhibitted by the Luna caste, as demonstrated by Tabby during the fight with the hydra, and then by Sam and Luna herself in "Night Life." Naturally, out of the three, Luna's turns out to be the most powerful.

** The Neo-Sisters have physical forms, had their powers locked off for most of their lives, and, going by Lola and Lana, [[spoiler: Have the essences of the original prototypes within them]].

* DaylightHorror: Some of the more horrifying parts of the Proto-Lucy Arc ([[spoiler: Silas' brutal murder]], [[spoiler: the mass death in the organization, including the biker trio]], [[spoiler: Lincoln's monstrous breakdown]]) happen after the eternal night dome has been destroyed and the sun has returned to Royal Woods.

** [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12670052/1/Chains-of-Reality-Lincolnism Lincolnism]], which focuses on the biker toddlers from "Hand-Me Downer" and their introduction to the "Lincolnism" group.
** [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12819302/1/Chains-of-Reality-Caste-Examination Caste Examination]], which focuses on Lisa interacting with some "subjects" in order to find out more about a particular caste's powers.

** [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13156138/1/Chains-of-Reality-Omakes Omakes]], essentially a collection of sidestories that can't exactly be fit into the main story, but are supposedly canon nevertheless.

* NiceDayDeadlyNight: Essentially [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] during the Proto-Lucy arc. The start of the story arc has the ZombieApocalypse appear in Royal Woods, and Proto-Luna "adds some atmosphere" with her Eternal Night Dome, which traps Royal Woods in a dome whose function is to bring a night that lasts forever to the city, just in time to correlate to the apocalypse itself.

* OutlivingOnesOffspring: The Proto-Sisters wound up being the only survivors of the old reality, which was populated by their children with Proto-Lincoln, who was the one who destroyed it. As if their minds were broken enough already...

* ThirteenIsUnlucky: "Dark World", the 13th omake, is about a possible TheBadGuyWins scenario where Proto-Lucy's ZombieApocalypse successfully carried itself out.

* EverythingsBetterWithPlushies: The Bun-Buns, especially the one owned by Lincoln, who also happens to work as his confidant and servant.

* {{Engrish}}: During the Proto-Lana arc, after Clyde's parents find Lisa and Lily playing around the organization, they also see Lisa speak in a manner similar to this. It's equal ways cringy and funny:
---> Lisa: There's no need-o for this-o fight, Lily-Tan! We're sistas in same battoru! Assapt my proposal, cease-to and desist-to this instant-to!
---> Lily: *Baby gibberish that has a Japanese tone to it*.
---> Lisa: Take-u that-o back-o!

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: It's a Loud House fanfic, what did you expect? Even not counting the original characters like [[spoiler: the lovechildren]], the fic still sports one third of the original show cast, has at least 13 main characters, counting Clyde and Ronnie Anne alongside Lincoln and his sisters, and both the Lincolnism and organization factions also have a healthy amount of support characters in there as well.

* ProngsOfPoseidon: Both Lana and Proto-Lana show the ability to summon tridents. In this case, the tridents are of the fourth type, as they're both used primarily as throwing weapons, like spears.

* AdultFear: Your children aren't just the ''gods'' of the new world, which is actually a new reality created after your supposed middle child ''destroyed the old one'', but they're being hunted by their insane, overpowered prototypes who want nothing more than to kill them and wreck havoc in the world. [[spoiler: Two of these children are also either possessed or otherwise controlled by their own counterparts, preventing them from moving out of the line and take care of everthing.]] And then, to top it all off, your job requires you to go out for a whole month, leaving these children alone to train and fend for themselves. Yeah, [[{{Understatement}} Mr. and Mrs. Loud aren't going to sleep well for a while]].
** Your daughter [[DealWithTheDevil makes a deal]] with her eternal rival's prototype counterpart in order to make her reveal her true colors and be humbled, only for the prototype to try to kill her instead, forcing her to make ''another'' deal so she can come out alive, in exchange for being taken to her dimension for who knows how long, with you not having any idea what happened to her until the ZombieApocalypse happens. Yeah, Mr. and Mrs. Loud? Please leave a seat free, Mr. Universe wants to join you.
** You leave your granddaughter from another dimension in your house while you're busy, where, after being given so many hate mails, is killed by [[spoiler: this dimension's incarnation of her father's old fire]] without warning in order to [[spoiler: empower a giant skeleton that will be used to ''invade the heavens'']]. Keep another seat free, Mrs. Johnson will join you soon.
** An unwatched child, believing she can prove her own loyalty to her best friend, and despite several warnings not to go through with it, she eventually does and ends up not only [[TrappedInVillainy trapped serving a mad god]], but [[AllForNothing her efforts are rendered fruitless in the end]]. Bad life, thy name is [[spoiler: Haiku.]]

* WitchSpecies: Averted. Like in [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Puella Magi Madoka Magica]], the witches here are the corrupted versions of girls, specifically of Lucy's caste.

* ToastOfTardiness: "School Day" has an example of this, fittingly enough, with Lynn, although instead of a piece of toast like the usual trope, she apparently ate a ''ham'' instead. [[RealityEnsues Her body is unable to digest it properly due to being eaten in a rush, and, combined with the stress of talking to her crush, causes her to vomit]].

* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Discussed. While testing out the Loud Slayers, Mrs. Loud wants to test them on the Androids, since she believes they're the perfect way to test them and nothing else would work. Howard, Harold, and Lynn Sr. promptly ask her if she couldn't use something else, [[RealityEnsues since the androids are not only the best defense the organization has against attackers, but they're also expensive to program and create]]. Seeing the logic, Rita caves in and decides to use robot bunnies as test subjects instead.

* InfantImmortality: Horribly [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in the Proto-lucy arc, where several children ([[spoiler: Calliope, the Biker Trio, Rusty Spokes, among others]]) hit the bucket during Proto-Lucy's redirected rampage against Sincoln.

''Chains of Reality'' is a ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' fanfic written by [=Exotos135=], which was published in February 19, 2017.

* RaceAgainstTime: A side-effect of Lindsey's scuffle with Lisa in the earlier chapters, which goes unspoken for several chapters, is the possibility [[spoiler: she might turn into a mutant.]] Once this fact is known the main group, primarily Lola, head to Lisapolis in order to FindTheCure.

* Trope2000: The Lily Protector 1250, a machine created by Lisa to keep Lily safe from danger.

** Ronnie Anne, upon discovering that [[spoiler: Lucy lost her eyes after fusing with Lynn into Lylu]], believes that the main point of the Proto-Lucy arc was thus rendered moot. [[Subverted|Trope Lucy quickly points out the main point was to avert the]] ZombieApocalypse, [[SUbverted|Trope therefore it wasn't all for naught]].

* AdaptationalBadass: Regardless of version, this applies to practically everyone, considering the series the fanfic is based on is a SliceOfLife show. Of particular note are the Loud siblings, who went from a qroup of quirky children, to a group of quirky ''gods''.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: In the reboot, characters that didn't appear until later in the fic (Maggie, Sam, the Sadie Hawkins dates, Ronnie Anne) appear as early as the introduction arc.
* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul:

** The Proto-Lucy arc once agains ends in a bittersweet way in the reboot, although it's notably more bitter than sweet this time: Proto-Lucy is stopped, the zombie apocalypse is averted, and peace returns to Royal Woods afterwards. In fact, thanks to a certain type of DivineIntervention, the other progenitors around (Proto-Lynn, Proto-Luna, and Proto-Luan) are going to take a longer time to recover before they can mess with the heroes again, giving them a breather. However, several people, [[spoiler: including Lynn]], have hit the bucket and gone to purgatory without a known way to revive them, the organization has been trashed so thoroughly it might take a while before its fully operational again, and [[ArsonMurderJaywalking whatever project Higgins had made that required the parents to leave for a month has been set back once again]].

* BroughtBackToNormal: [[spoiler: Lylu's black flames do this to Renee and the morticians club members after trapping them in a skull cage, upon which she and Lincoln take the chance to ask about Lincolnism.]]

* TheCavalry: Some of the organization's members (Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Shrinivas, Mrs. DiMartino, and Mr. Universe) and the Sadie Hawkins dates come to the sisters' aid during their fight against the hydra. [[LampshadeHanging Lori even calls the former "the cavalry" as such]].

* CreepyCemetary: The Royal Woods graveyard has become one of these by chapter 45, as said by Ronnie Anne. Granted, the cold armosphere probably made her say she had the chills, but the fact the cemetary has twice the numbers it used to have, most of the tombstone are for children, and that they serve as a reminder of the ZombieApocalypse that happened not too long ago, it still fits the atmosphere.

* CrystalPrison: [[NiceJobBreakingOtHero Lola]] traps the whole beauty pageant in one of these during the Proto-Lola arc, once Lindsey strikes her nerves a little bit too much. She later repeats this action, this time willingly, to convince Lisa to let her come with her during the Proto-Lisa Arc.
* CueTheSun: During the Proto-Lucy arc, once the EternalNight brought forth by Proto-Luna's barrier is taken care of, the sunlight itself returns and things progressively start to get on the heroes' favor.

* EvasiveThreadEpisode: Chapter 32 features a rematch against Ronnie Anne and Clyde, the latter who only won against the former because he used the time limit to his advantage. Clyde even powers up, admitting that he probably would be no match for the girl on his base form. Eventually, [[spoiler: Lincoln stops them just before they clash, they get a vision, Lori calls them, and they decide to see what's going on, leaving the winner unclear.]]

** For some specific examples, Lindsey Sweetwater is related to Mr. Universe (both versions), Maggie, Tabby, and Sam are all Mick Swagger's daughters (also both versions), Penelope and Becky are Mrs. Johnson's daughter and sister respectively (the reboot), Giggles is Mrs. DiMartino's daughter (the original), etc.

---> Proto-Lana: No, CLaire, I'm afraid you're wrong. That's not the scent of any member of Lola's caste. *Destroys the rock with an implied energy blast* The scent belongs to Lola's own daughter.

** Finally, something goes right and the gothic kid has seemingly defeated her counterpart. Surely things can only get better from-''The prototype took her over and '''possessed''' her, creating an even stronger monster?!'' [[PrayerAsALastResort Okay everybody, get on your knees and pray for your lives]]!

* HumonguousMecha: This was Lisa's original plan for the Royal Woodroid 5000, but her current attempt is basically just a pile of junk miraculously held together, who's so big she can't even get it out of her lab. Later, during the Proto-Lucy arc, [[spoiler: encouragement from Darcy and a little focus on her powers allows her to summon a functional variation of it, which she uses to fight against the Gashadokuro in the climax.]]

* ItAlwaysRainsInFunerals: The day that [[spoiler: the Loud family have a funeral for Lynn]] is a pretty rainy one, especially in comparison to the sunny day most of the Proto-Lucy arc took place in otherwise.

* LightingCanDoAnything: ShockAndAwe seems to be the basis of the Lori caste's powers, and going by Act 1 alone, they can: create swords made of lighting [[AbsurdlySharpBlade sharp enough to cut metal]], unleash normal lighting bolts, [[TheParalyzer allows the user to stun a target as long as they're stronger than the target]], can load clouds with lighting, and [[spoiler: allows Lori to keep herself alive after having a hole blown on her torso by Lincoln]], making it among the most versatile of power sets shown by the castes.

* MakesMeWannaShout: A power exhibitted by the Luna caste, as demonstrated by Tabby during the fight with the hydra, and then by Sam and Luna herself in "Night Life." Naturally, out of the three, Luna's turns out to be the most powerful.

* PrayerAsALastResort: Once the Gashadokuro is taken out and [[spoiler: Lucyfer]] is severely ticked off as a result, as well as them quickly running out of options, everybody in the new reality, by [[spoiler: Stella]]'s request, prays to Lincoln in order to get him to help them turn the seemingly hopeless situation on its head and give them a chance of victory. [[spoiler: He listens, and things quickly turn to their favor.]]
* {{Precursors}}: The protophilim and the Progenitors, of course.
* ProngsOfPoseidon: Both Lana and Proto-Lana show the ability to summon tridents. In this case, the tridents are of the fourth type, as they're both used primarily as throwing weapons, like spears.

* PsychoPrototype: The Proto-Sisters are a whole group of this, thanks to the corruption.
* PublicDomainArtifact: Mjolnir, Thor's hammer, is mentioned by Lori in chapter 33. Considering everything else that's happened up to that point, it could very well be a real thing.

* UpgradeVsPrototypeFight: Pick a fight that has one of the Loud sisters facing off against their respective prototype counterpart (Lucy Versus Proto-Lucy, for example), and it will count as this, with a side of MirrorFight.

* WakeUpToSchoolSaveTheWorld: Initially played straight, as despite the brutal ending to the introduction arc, the next few chapters involve the Loud siblings (And Clyde and Ronnie Anne) going to school. [[SubvertedTrope Then]] school is suspended for a month for an unknown reason, and thus gets written off the Louds' bucket list of problems.

* CrystalPrison: [[NiceJobBreakingOtHero Lola]] traps the whole beauty pageant in one of these during the Proto-Lola arc, once Lindsey strikes her nerves a little bit too much.

* AllForNothing: The premise is that Proto-Lincoln destroyed the original reality in order to create a new one, saving it from TheCorruption that would've twisted it into a horrible world to live in. Now, remember the crap Lincoln goes through in the canon show, which by all accounts also happened in this story, and you start to see that maybe destroying the new reality really was pointless.

* StoryArc: Both the original and the reboot employ story arcs. These are, in order:

*** Introduction Arc: 1-5
*** Prototype Lola Arc: 9-16
*** Prototype Lana Arc: 20-31
*** Prototype Lucy Arc: 32-42 (43 serves as an epilogue)

*** Prototype Lisa Arc: ???

* TragicVillain: Silas and Haiku, both from the Proto-Lucy Arc. The former has whatever plan he had with the X-dimension fall apart once Xucy refuses to help, not to mention realizing the damage the gashadokuro could do to the city; he tries to do one last good thing by [[GoThroughMe blocking Proto-Lucy's [[spoiler: Lucyfer]] form from attacking Lincoln]], only to [[RedemptionEqualsDeath die horribly for it]]. As for Haiku, [[spoiler: besides the obvious killing-Calliope-to-serve-as-the-gashadokuro's-core bit]], she gets tortured to the point of insanity, fights against those she used to call her friends, and dies with nary a whimper, all happening simply because she wanted to prove her loyalty to Lucy.
