* WhoWantsToLiveForever: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zigzagged]]. [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Elsa]] shows signs of this early on, due to Anna and everyone she knew in her youth being dead by the time the story starts. Rapunzel seems completely fine, though, because her magic hair enables her to keep her loved ones alive with her. Moana is fairly chipper about awakening after a years-long sleep.

* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: Harry saying that he believes in fairies over and over again is what revives the Pixie Hollow.



* MadnessMantra: Throughout the scene when the pirates are first navigating the ocean (as well as for a while after), Harry is calling out deliriously for Uma, who is not there. He happens to be correct that it was her magic that freed them, but he comes across this way to the crew.

Similarly, him saying that he believes in fairies becomes this when he is reviving the Pixie Hollow; the words are necessary to heal the tree, but as he says them he becomes increasingly emotional as he remembers doing the same thing over his mother's corpse.

* AccidentalMurder: CJ Hook did this to Zarina, before the events of the story, by saying that she didn't believe in fairies...when she was a ''child!'' Especially tragic, because Zarina was Harry's mother, and CJ's relationship with her older brother (and her relationship with her father) never recovered from this, and she never stopped [[OhGodWhatHaveIDone blaming herself]].

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/11997819/chapters/27144651 Mysterious Fathoms Below]]'' is an in-progress Film/Descendants fanfiction written by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/MissKate/pseuds/MissKate MissKate]].

The story takes place after ''Descendants 2'' and in place of ''Descendants 3''. It starts with a brief scene of Dizzy being taken from her family, to live in Auradon, followed soon after by Uma destroying the barrier to the Isle of the Lost in a burst of sea magic. From there, the story jumps across many of the territories and personalities of Auradon, accounting for the aftermath of the barrier's destruction and, more broadly, the consequences of Auradon's past political actions.
