History Fanfic / DavionAndDavionDeceased

* DeadlyDecadentCourt: Unity City seems to be host to one and both House Marik and House Liao appear to rule over them.

** Fuu O'Hare is a double reference to Fubuki from Kancolle and ''WesternAnimation/BuckyOHareAndTheToadWars''.

** Fuu O'Hare is a double reference to Fubuki from Kancolle and ''WesternAnimation/BuckyOHare''.

** Mary Kaga and Weiss (White) Plains are Kancolle references. Marge Pritchard’s entire crew are named for Hammer’s Slammers characters.
** Fuu O'Hare is a double reference to Fubuki from Kancolle and Bucky O'Hare.

* RescueRomance: Helena Cameron ends up falling for the MIIO agent who extracted her from Terra. [[spoiler: After losing the election for First Lord, she happily hoofs it back to Davion space, marries him, and opens a bakery]].

* SuccessionCrisis: After the Amaris coup, the council gets into a dispute over who the next Star Lord should be. [[spoiler:John Davion eventually gets so disgusted with the infighting that he announces that not only will he not nominate or back any candidate - which actually makes things easier, as it leaves an odd number of members in the council to work things out, preventing ties - if they don't elect ''somebody'' by the end of the year, his nation will secede from the Star League on the grounds that it was no longer a functioning government.]]

** Fuu 'O Hare is a double reference to Fubuki from Kancolle and Bucky 'o Hare.

* MagnificentBastard: InUniverse, Hanse Davion's sharp mind and foreknowledge of upcoming events allows John Davion to appear like a brilliant mastermind in how he orchestrates plans and sets up seemingly-prescient beneficial business deals, earning the respect of many nobles and awe from intel officers who see him turn Hanse's analysis into brilliant intel insights.

* MagnificentBastard: [[InUniverse Hanse is Hanse]], of course, and John learns well from his example.

** Due to the change in the circumstances behind the inevitable conflict between the Draconis Combine and the Federated Suns (with [[spoiler:the Combine acting on behalf of the Star League to force a seceding Suns back in]]), instead of Minoru Kurita perishing at Kentares IV to a AFFS sniper as in the original timeline causing Jinjiro to snap and launch the infamous Kentares Massacre, rather [[spoiler:Jinjiro is lost in a misjump attempting to extract his forces from a brutal ASF meatgrinder at Robinson, and Minoru is later captured when he attempts to assault Robinson himself later, and John has him publicly executed for allowing the miners at Canaan to be gassed, turning his death into an Inner Sphere-wide warning that atroctities against civilians will not be tolerated by the Federated Suns]]. They still die, but the circumstances around their deaths is very different from the original timeline.

** The treaty that formed the Star League said that the position of Star Lord would always go to a ''descendant'' of the first Star Lord, not the ''heir'' of the first Star Lord. This causes a SuccessionCrisis when the position of Director-General of the Terran Hegemony falls to a Cameron who is from a different branch of the family, which means that he does have the right to claim the title of Star Lord by right of birth.

** The SLN forces at Saturn include the warships Reuben James and Battleaxe, two ships that played a notable role in Literature/RedStormRising.

* EasyLogistics: Averted extremely hard. Much of John and Hanse's planning involves ensuring that the AFFS can get as much equipment and supplies as possible, complete with emergency doomsday caches and hidden backup shipyards being constructed; in addition, Operation Oxbow is aimed at crippling the supply lines of his foes once hostilities are an inevitability, and it succeeds at bringing the Liao offensive to a dead halt and greatly weakening the Kurita pushes at Robinson. One of the supply raids was fortuitous enough to uncover a hidden cache of nuclear missiles, which the Suns were using up faster than they could produce as a result of their ASF heavy carrier doctrine relying on nukes for anti-ship warfare.

** John's choice to keep his relations with the SLDF friendly result in multiple things - Kerensky ends up making him a general and including him in the chain of command, making him 'one of them'; [[spoiler:his good relations with [=DeChevilier=] ensures that when the good general ragequits his commission and leaves, the resulting Exodus doesn't quite go as far as the Clan Homeworlds and instead forms a Pentagon Alliance inside the OWA that remains friendly with the Suns]], and ultimately allows him to peacefully absorb a large portion of the SLDF that sided with him into the AFFS.

* [[spoiler:BittersweetEnding: John fails to save the Star League but ultimately prevents the Dark Ages of the Succession Wars(and the formation of Comstar and likely the Clans, and thus by extension the Clan Invasion and Jihad), Hanse finally moves on, and John's granddaughter Victoria will bring a new hope for peace.]]

* AllThereInTheManual – Book 1 ends each chapter with an in-universe ‘sidebar’ discussing the setting

** Once the Aramis Coup kicks off, John apologizes to Hanse, realizing that their plans could cause him to have never been born. [[spoiler:Years later, during the Succession War, Hanse realizes that John's grandson should have been born a month before. Fortunately, it seems to have no effect on Hanse's existence or memories.]]

** In particular, borrowing over half a trillion Star League dollars from Terran Hegemony banks(particularly those Hanse said supported Amaris) on the eve of the coup. Normally no one would _dare_ default on Terran loans but with the Coup about to happen, John has an ironclad reason to decline to repay the loans.

* WhamLine: The ending of Loyalist 21: [[spoiler: "...by the start of next year, then the Federated Suns will, with sorrow but resolution, secede from the Star League."]]

* AbandonShip: [[spoiler:Weiss Plains]]

* RankUp: Susan Sandoval and Ethan Moreau rise rapidly through the ranks of the AFFS and SLDF respectively

** The lesson gets driven home on Robinson when John teaches it to Minoru.

* TankGoodness: The AFFS and SLDF both use large numbers of armoured units, notably the Demon tanks prized by Marge Pritchard. House Davion are very fond of their Merkava and Alacorn tanks.

* MagnificentBastard: Hanse is Hanse, of course, and John learns well from his example.
