* ThreateningToCutTies: "The Voicemails" opens with the Small brothers in a heated argument, and eventually Boris snaps and declares that if Steve leaves for Elmore, he's out of his life for good. Steve leaves anyway, and Boris makes good on his threat; in the years to come, he doesn't even invite Steve (now Sybil) to his wedding, or allow his daughter Sophie to learn about him.

* AccidentalMisnaming: [[spoiler:After they finally remember that Rob was sucked back into the Void after the events of "[[Recap/TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS6E44TheInquisition The Inquisition]]", all three Watterson kids are still getting his name wrong; Gumball calls him Ron, Anais calls him Rod, and Darwin calls him Roy.]]



* LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler:"The Glitch" reveals that after "The Inquisition", the Void seemingly wiped everyone in Elmore's memory of Rob. However, the titular glitches jog Gumball's memory of him, and he believes that they are being caused by Rob, trying to communicate with him through the void.]]



* TakeThat: Sophie's idea of the most boring time possible involving watching ''Series/FullHouse''.

* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler:"The Fable" ends on the twist that, despite his absence in previous stories, Rob is still alive, and has been trapped in the void after Season 6 ended, with everyone in Elmore forgetting about him. "The Glitch" further thickens his story as Gumball believes that the glitches are Rob's way of communicating with him. As such, the fact that Rob is a part of ''Elmore Chronicles'' at all is a spoiler.]]

* DisownedSibling: "The Voicemails" opens with the day that Boris Small cut ties with his younger brother Steven. He has barely spoken to them since, thus he doesn't know that his sibling has since come out as non-binary, and Sybil (Steve's new name) never attended Boris's wedding, nor met his daughter Sophie.

* MoodWhiplash: [[spoiler:"The Fable" ends with Cray Cray criticizing how unrealistic Rob's story is as there's ''no way'' an entire town could be flipped on its head and no one would say ''anything'' about it. As he hops off to another platform, Rob sinks to his knees, insisting that he saw it and he would never make it up...]]

* HospitalVisitHesitation: In "The Disease", Boris Small refuses to come to the hospital and donate blood to his estranged younger sibling Sybil, citing their lack of contact and Sybil not attending his wedding or meeting his daughter Sophie as reasons why. Gumball and Darwin instead rope Sophie into coming with them, and while it turned out that [[spoiler:they didn't actually need a blood donation]], Sybil is nevertheless delighted to finally meet their niece.

* TheComedyDrop: "The Hipster", Darwin gives Gumball a leg up to look into the counselor's office, where new student Sophie (the titular hipster) is meeting with Counselor Small. Gumball insists she's there because she doesn't like the school, to which Darwin drops him back down and denies it, saying that Gumball is overreacting (since Sophie happens to be Mx. Small's niece, so of course she would want to hang out with them). Gumball gets up and asks Darwin not to drop him again, to which Darwin quickly apologizes before Gumball goes right back to his scheme.

'''[[https://archiveofourown.org/series/3585268 Kedabory's Elmore Chronicles]]''' is a series of ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' fanfictions written by Creator/NoonboryKedabory. Unlike ''Fanfic/StrongAndSteady'', it is not set in an altenate universe.

The stories are ordered on [[Recap/KedaborysElmoreChronicles the recap page]].

!!Tropes:
* AdaptationalGenderIdentity:
** Richard, who is a cisgender male in canon, is presented as a trans woman named Daphne.
** In canon, Mr. Small, while having some feminine traits, was presented as unambiguously male. Here, Mx. Small is presented as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns.
* AdaptationNameChange: Both due to AdaptationalGenderIdentity: Richard Watterson becomes Daphne Watterson and Steve Small becomes Sybil Small.
* DisabledInTheAdaptation: In canon, Mx. Small, while being rather thin and bony, was otherwise presented as perfectly healthy. Here, after "The Disease", they have a chronic cough which requires an inhaler to deal with.
* FanCreatedOffspring: A variant: Mx. Small is given a niece named Sophie.
* {{Foil}}:
** Mx. Small's brother Boris. While Mx. Small is a gentle, carefree hippie, Boris is a strict, cold-hearted university professor.
** Across Fanfic/TheKedaboryVerse as a whole, Sophie is one to [[Fanfic/SkylandersReturnToTheRuins Crestfeather]]. Both are long-lost nieces of supporting characters, but while Crestfeather is a cynical adult going on a story-wide quest to find her uncle, Sophie is a CheerfulChild who finds her moonparent right away.
* {{Hipster}}: Sophie Small, who has little interest in big, popular franchises and whose hobbies are almost comically obscure.
* OddNameOut: Boris is the only member of the Small family without a name beginning with "S", unlike his sibling Sybil and daughter Sophie.
* SickEpisode: "The Disease" has Mx. Small contract an unspecified illness, which requires a stay in the hospital to treat.
* TakeThat: Sophie's idea of the most boring time possible involving watching ''Series/FullHouse''.
* TruthInTelevision: In "The Disease", Teri believes based on the symptoms that Mx. Small is having a stroke. While she's incorrect, disoriented behaviour, slurred speech, and inability to move one of your arms are all real symptoms of a stroke.
