History Fanfic / OfGemstonesAndWatches

** Chapter 57 has one to all the all the KissingCousins interpretations between Ben and Gwen, with one of the aliens who created unlicensed rip-offs of Ben and Ruby's adventures making Ben and Gwen an item. It also jabs at the FauxActionGirl concept.

** Yang, Weiss and Kylie in Chapter 11.

%%** [[spoiler:Heatblast]] gets a notable power up in Chapter 24.

** The authors give Roman a semblance, akin to Loki- he uses his "silver tongue" to persway others to do his bidding. It apparently has some limitations though, it doesn't work on Fistrick, for starters.

** Skurd is named "Doppler" here, and was created to help Kevin when him and the Antitrix start rejecting each other.

** Echo Echo, Spidermonkey, Astrodactyl, Water Hazard and Eatle all appear earlier than they did in Ben 10 canon.

** Albedo gets a big one; He wishes to be a peace keeper, while being curious about Ben's choice to stay on earth is very different from his prime counterpart. Also, he's not outright hateful. Cool, calm and collected, and almost resigned to his new base body. He also seems to genuinely be friends with Neo, having apparently learned ASL to communicate with her. [[spoiler: He's also disgusted by Servantis's hypocrisy]].

** Ironwood is Weiss' step dad in this universe.
** Maria Calavera apparently mentored Summer Rose, and takes on the role to her daughter Ruby as well.

** Servantis, Swift and Leander all are Osmosians in this world. Servantis has some sort of mental power, Swift has a retractable patagia, and Leander can make anything into a bomb.

** Stinkfly, Ripjaws, Fourarms, Wildmutt, and Grey Matter are replaced by Echo Echo, Spidermonkey, Astrodactyl, Water Hazard and Eatle in Ben's original lineup.

%%* AmbiguouslyBi: Ruby, when she sees Ceres in Chapter 28.

* BrickJoke: In Chapter 50, "Brianna" agrees to go on a date with Cardin just so they can [[StoodUp stand the jerk up]] for asking her out without even bothering to get their name. In Chapter 53, Ben and Ruby are having dinner with Team CFVY at a restaurant and ''Cardin is also there''.

* CanonForeigner: Characters Anna, Kylie, Ceres North, Lev, Ari, Cassidy and Min.

** Permanent Retirement illustrates the chase scene with the idea that "Marty" is gonna kill the two kids.
** Last Laugh implied that Zombozo killed some of his crewmen before Ben fought him.
** Charm School's Out has Michelle Morningstar rip out a girl's tongue.
** Secrets has a giant Nevermore ''eating'' someone, and it's made clear that the Plumbers lost people in fending it and the other Grimm off.
** Framed Part 1 has Kevin attacking a guy who got off scot-free for rape. In Part 2, Kevin is wounded enough to bleed heavily, and his Water Hazard equivalent, Dead Sea, manages to nearly kill Echo Echo.
** Animo 10k [[spoiler: murdered Kevin 11k for the alien DNA in the Antitrix. When Ben 10k learns this, he ''bites the head off'' of the creation Animo was using to relay this]].
** [[spoiler: Vilgax's torture at the hands of the Fulmini. The end result is horrific.]]
** [[spoiler: Elias rips Max's arm off, and then either kills him or sends him to the Null Void]].
** [[spoiler: Zs'skayr's debut has him phase objects into people's bodies, take over Rook and Kylie's body, and nearly murder Ben. And even worse, he's working with Salem.]]

** Blake [[spoiler:killed Adam in self defense during the events of what would've been the Black trailer.]]

** Chapter 34 reveals that, with the exception of Yang, who Blake is making sure stays in the dark, and Rook, who has the excuse of not being savvy with, as he puts it, "Earth Courting Rituals", ''everyone'' on Zeta Squadron and Team RWBY has noticed something between them, with Kevin even just asking Ben, rather bluntly, why they ''aren't'' dating yet, and when Ben asks Max for dating advice, he guesses that it's about Ruby almost immediately.

* FrameUp: [[spoiler: Servantis tries to use falsified footage to turn the Plumber leaders against Ben, but it fails, forcing him to knock them out and frame Ben for ''that'', though it took a couple of false starts to do, and even then most of the other Plumbers still don't seem to really believe it]].

* GreenEyedMonster: [[spoiler: Albedo manages to guess, apparently correctly, that the ''real'' reaon Servantis hates Ben so much is that he's jealous of how close Max was to him]].
* {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler: Albedo calls Servantis out on how, despite his claiming to be motivated by fear of what the supposedly irresponsible Ben could do with the power the Omnitrix gives him, he ''doesn't'' fear Albedo the same way, despite having similar abilities ''and'' Galvan hyper-intelligence, and that the ''real'' reason he hates Ben is because he's jealous of how the boy stole Max's attention away from him. [[MoralMyopia He's also willing to use dangerous drugs to fight Ben with]]]].

* MutualMasquerade: Besides keeping the existence of Grimm and aliens from being revealed to the public, the Huntsmen and Plumbers, respectively, don't seem to be big on revealing their own existences to each other either, at least with the lower-ranking members. The higher ups like Ozpin and Max seem to keep each other in the loop, but Ruby had no idea aliens existed before she met Ben and the Omnitrix, and when undercover at Beacon with Team RWBY, Ben is told to keep from transforming if he can, to keep from revealing the secret.

* NeverFoundTheBody: Psyphon uses this exact term for [[spoiler: Vilgax]].
* NeverMyFault: [[spoiler: Even after he's captured, Servantis refuses to accept that he could have been wrong about Ben, tries to justify Max's death as necessary, and even tells Ben that he should have helped Vilgax when ''his'' refusal to send Vilgax aid when the Fulmini invaded Vilgax's homeworld led to Vilgax becoming a FallenHero after being tortured by the High Override]].
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: Chapter 19 implied that Salem had ended up destroying herself when she wiped out Earth's magic users, but in Chapter 33, Albedo mentions her name in the present tense... A later chapter confirms that she's alive.]]

* NeverTheSelvesShallMeet: Rook implies at one point that ''bad'' things can happen if someone makes physical contact with the inage of their past selves that Clockwork can generate. [[spoiler: Servantis finds this out the hard way...]]

* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Gwen accidentally summons a chaos demon named Min when trying to [[spoiler:contact Max's spirit]], who comes from a dimension where they observe the stories of the multiverse's heroes and make edits. Physically, she resembles Blake, but needs blood every 24 hours.

** When Ruby described Albedo as someone who looks like Ben, but with snow white hair, Ben interrupts and asks if she ran into WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom. When discussing how to [[spoiler: imprison Zs'Skayr]], it's suggested that they stuff him into a thermos.

** [[spoiler: The way Servantis used horrifying illusions to disorient Ben and lure him into the path of a train]] is very similar to [[Film/SpiderManFarFromHome what Mysterio did]].

* SmugSnake: [[spoiler: Servantis ''does'' have some legitimate intelligence and powers, but his ego leads to him to defeat. Twice during his plot to FrameUp Ben as dangerous, he has to think fast because he didn't anticipate how much the other Plumbers liked Ben and that they'd be willing to give the boy the benefit of the doubt instead of blindly accepting his "evidence". Then, when he tries to pull his illusion trick on Ben again, he fails because he didn't expect Ben to be able to use Blitzwolfer's nose to find the ''real'' him, and gets tricked into an EngineeredPublicConfession because he takes the time to give Ben a verbal dressing-down, not knowing that he could use the Omnitrix as a communications device to broadcast what he was saying to the rest of the base.]]

** Water Hazard seems more like Overflow from the Reboot in his appearance (though the latter ''does'' appear in Chapter 34), and the Limax even call him a Cascan.

* VillainTeamUp: [[spoiler: Albedo, Neo, and Zs'Skayr are all apparently allied with Salem, and Servantis is apprently involved as well]].

* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: Chapter 19 implied that Salem had ended up destroying herself when she wiped out Earth's magic users, but in Chapter 33, Albedo mentions her name in the present tense...]]

** Chapter 39 introduces elements from WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex, like Six working for Ironwood and Breach apparently working for Salem.

%%* ActionGirl:
%%** Ruby is the living definition of this trope, wielding a giant scythe in combat.
%%** Yang, Weiss and Kylie in Chapter 11.
%%** Ceres and Blake show off their action sides in Chapter 29.
%%* AdaptationalBadass:
%%** Ruby and Ben seem more battle oriented than they did in canon.

%%** Albedo is much more equipped to deal with Ben; his forms are "edited" in a sense, with his Humungousaur having his canonical Ultimate's "missile arm".

* SuperSpeed: Ruby, [=XLR8=] and Rush's superpower.

* CanonForeigner: Characters Anna, Kylie, Ceres North, Lev and Ari.
