* RealityEnsues:
** Shisui's reaction to somebody trying to snoop around his mind is to activate all the defensive genjutsu and lure the invader in their middle for the kill. That the invader turns out to be Solas means only that the boy know where he sleeps.
** Shisui is not okay with suddenly finding himself in Thedas, especially since he seems to be missing a chunk of memories on how he got there. Several times he has to forcibly calm himself through meditation and mental exercises.
*** Similarly, the conflict between the Uchiha and Konoha, and his encounter with Danzou and loss of his eyes left him with trauma that he's forcibly suppressing so he can function.
** [[spoiler:Since Shisui had his Sharingan active the entire time during the trip to Bad Future, it means that he can ''perfectly'' remember everything that happened (in so much detail that he might as well be experiencing it ''again''). As a result, he keeps getting flashbacks for the remainder of his stay in Redcliffe and is rather uncomfortable even being in the place. He also notes that it ''will keep happening'' until he has an opportunity to use Sharingan again and overrides the old memories.]]

** Even the nobility is different. Thedosian Houses resemble their European counterparts, with small numbers and members either in political offices, managing the estate, being sent to clergy or laying around. On the other hand, the shinobi noble clans can have ''several hundred members'', with people working all manner of crafts and jobs so that the clan is self-sufficient, and their presence at the court is minimal outside of official functions.

* CultureClash: Explored.
** By shinobi standards, Shisui is an adult and has been for some years now. By Thedas standards, he's still a kid and most of Inquisition is not okay with some of the things they deduced about him -- such as his likely specialisation as an assassin.
** On the other hand, Shisui is still too young to legally drink alcohol back home, but in Thedas it would be allowed.
** While summoning and jutsu that use blood are not common in the Elemental Nations, they aren't unknown either and nobody cares if you use them. In Thedas, those are considered BlackMagic outside of Tevinter and even there they have a bad reputation.
** The general outlook on powers is also completely different, with Shisui considering chakra to be a fact of life. In Thedas, Fade-magic is considered a curse by the Orlesian Chantry, treated with wariness by the Dalish and flaunted in Tevinter. And they don't consider Lyrium and the powers it gives to be another type of magic at all.
** Thedas has all around problems with FantasticRacism, which Shisui finds weird -- what is a point of discriminating based on looks or magic when shinobi have a wide range of phenotypes and powers between all the clans.

** [[spoiler:Solas, when Shisui traps him in his dream.]]
** [[spoiler:Future!Alexius has one when Shisui completely bypasses his reinforced doors by bringing down the wall. And another one, when he and Solas get back to the present.

* OutsideContextProblem: Shisui to the entirety of Thedas. ''Nobody'' is quite sure what to make of him, his abilities and motives, or what he might do next. [[spoiler:Even Solas gets completely blindsided when he tries to snoop in his dreams.]] Of course, WordOfGod is that it also makes him an excellent Outside-Context Solution to many problems.problems.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Shisui ends up being even a bigger one than a canon Inquisitor. [[spoiler:By cutting down a mountain and straight to Redcliffe, he manages to get there before Alexius -- completely foiling the Magister's plan to take over the city for Corypheus.]]
* SummonMagic: Shisui still has his Contract with the Crows. Of course, Thedas considers summoning to be BloodMagic and thus punishable with death everywhere outside Tevinter. Not that anyone actually explained it to him, yet.

'''Official summary:''' In an act of classic Uchiha Melodrama, Uchiha Shisui leaps to his death... only to be thwarted when he wakes up, chained up and in a dungeon, with a splitting pain in his left hand.

Or, the one where Shisui finds himself in Thedas in the aftermath of the failed Conclave and the canon is politely excused from the room ("politely"). Found on [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/29282646/chapters/71908998 AO3]].

!This fanfic contains the examples of following tropes:
* DidntSeeThatComing: [[spoiler:Alexius sure didn't expect to see Shisui and Solas again after he time-yeeted them. And he definitely Shisui to immediately throw him into ''Tsukuyomi''.]]
* Outside-ContextProblem: Shisui to the entirety of Thedas. ''Nobody'' is quite sure what to make of him, his abilities and motives, or what he might do next.
