History Fanfic / SunburnTrilogy

* CosmicHorror: Compared to the DarkFantasy in ''Snow'', ''Glass'' prioritizes a fusion of ''GothicHorror'' (with elements like lycanthropy, Victorian-styled architecture, and even plague doctors) and this trope, with the main threat in the dream world this time being composed of many an EldritchAbomination all within a Lovecraftian style, as like its inspiration, ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}''.

** One to ''Series/{{LazyTown}}'''s most ''infamous'' memes in chapter two.
--> "Sunny, however, did indeed follow up on Kel’s joking suggestion and nabbed a pirate costume for Halloween, even if it were primarily just to see how his friends would react.\\
Kel (October 31st, 6:21 PM): OH MY GOD YES\\
Aubrey (October 31st, 6:21 PM): SUNNY WHAT\\
Basil (October 31st, 6:21 PM): … okay, not gonna lie, Sunny … you look cute in that. >///<;\\
Aubrey (October 31st, 6:22 PM): BASIL\\
Kel (October 31st, 6:22 PM): [[Memes/{{LazyTown}} YARR HAR FIDDLE DEE DEE]]\\
Sunny (October 31st, 6:22 PM): [[Memes/{{LazyTown}} BEING A PIRATE IS ALRIGHT TO BE]]\\
Aubrey (October 31st, 6:22 PM): KEL DO NOT\\
Kel (October 31st, 6:23 PM): [[Memes/{{LazyTown}} DO WHAT YOU WANT CAUSE A PIRATE IS FREE]]\\
Sunny (October 31st, 6:24 PM): [[Memes/{{LazyTown}} YOU ARE A PIRATE]]\\
Aubrey (October 31st, 6:24 PM): I can’t decide whether to be mad at Sunny or Kel right now.\\
Sunny (October 31st, 6:24 PM): The costume was on sale, I couldn’t say no to that. Plus, since we had kids coming for trick-or-treating, I figured they’d want to see a cool pirate.\\
Basil (October 31st, 6:24 PM): I think you mean a cute pirate, Sunny.\\
Aubrey (October 31st, 6:25 PM): Okay, Sunny, you have an excuse, I’ll give you that. As for Kel, better sleep with one eye open tonight.\\
Kel (October 31st, 6:26 PM): Knowing you, they’re both open at night.\\
Hero (October 31st, 10:47 PM): … you guys."

--> “The men hear you loud and clear, General.” Kel responded, to which Aubrey clutched her axe in determination. She smirked. “You have my axe.”\\
“And you have my bow.” Kel responded in kind.\\
“And my magic.” Basil smiled heroically.\\
Aubrey looked to Kel, one last time before they made their move. “Never thought I’d die fighting side by side with an assassin.”\\
Kel smirked back. “What about with a friend?”\\
Aubrey chuckled. “’Aye, I could do that.”

** [[spoiler:Hero and Mari were present during Elsie's class performance of ''Theatre/{{Beauty and the Beast}}'', therefore giving credit to Hero's threat to Elliot and his dad in chapter twenty-two of ''Snow''.]]

* MythologyGag: The nightmare sequence in chapter five is a spruced-up version of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JK-hN_AbzkA one of the chase encounters]] with Basil's Something in the Church at Black Space in the Hikikomori Route, only now it's a completely new version of Something and the entire church rotates infinitely to try and stop Sunny this time. The chapter was written under the impression that the chase sequence from the Hikikomori Route was cut content, but as it turns out, it ''does'' happen in the game, it's just ''monumentally'' rare you'll actually see it happen.

* AmbiguouslyBi: It's implied in chapter 15 that Elliot had crushes on both guys and girls back when he and Elsie were in school together.

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/31335680/chapters/77483240 Glass]]'', the first sequel to ''Snow'', is currently under development. It follows Elliot after the events of this story and explores his own relationship with his past and present.

* Anachronism Stew: References or music used in the series is meant to highlight the author's intent of showing how, despite taking place in the mid-2000's, the main story of ''VideoGame/{{Omori}}'' and its central themes can be applied to any setting or context.

* AdaptationalBadass: While Aubrey was already more than capable of fighting in the main game, here, she has much more of an active, physical role in the action scenes in ''Snow'', [[spoiler:both in the dream world and the real world.]]
** [[spoiler:The entire friend group in dream sequences definitely count, even ''Basil and Kel'' in some of them!]]

* BigBadEnsemble: [[spoiler:Omori returns to haunt Sunny even after the truth is out. Both him and Elliot are recurring menaces of the story.]]
* TheBully: Elliot. [[spoiler:It's implied there's something else at play with him, though, as ''Glass'' sets to elaborate on.]]

Hero (October 31st, 10:47 PM): … you guys."\\

Aubrey chuckled. “’Aye, I could do that.”\\

* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Omori only cares more for Sunny's wellbeing in his own twisted way, being Sunny's manifestation of his self-hatred and guilt for having accidentally killed Mari. That all being said, the execution of his intentions involves taking Sunny over completely from the inside and doing what he would've done with him in the first place during the final boss fight in the canon route of ''VideoGame/{{Omori}}.'' So obviously, that's no good.]]

* JerkassAtYourDiscretion: Marc hugs Elliot in front of a nurse once Elliot recovered from his injuries in chapter four, but Marc threatens to throw Elliot in jail [[spoiler:if he doesn't help cover up his father's crimes in court]].

* ArcSymbol:
** ''Snow'''s namesake is a gentle, recurring hallmark of Faraway's winter.
** ''Glass'''s namesake is [[spoiler:what Elliot's family saw his sister Elsie's corpse lacerated with in the car crash that killed her]].

* FlashForwardFic: The series is set months after the good ending of ''Omori''.

* WellDoneSonGuy: Much of Elliot's motivation to bully Sunny is to regain his father's love by following his beliefs. Shortly after his therapist inquires that the caring father Marc once was (or acted like) is long gone, Elliot starts to turn away from both his own misdeeds and his father's ideology.

* EvilCounterpart: Elliot spends this fic's events as one to Sunny. Both lost a respective sister of his, but while Sunny accidentally killed someone he still openly loves and cherishes; Elliot's brutality towards Sunny is completely intentional, and he desperately tries to push away the care he has for Elsie.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: The Hemlock family shares it name with a highly poisonous species of flowering plant. The man its name is rooted at is Marc Adolph Hemlock (Elliot's abusive father who's also a racist, corrupt right-wing politician), whose middle name and last initial combined ring a bell to genocidal dictator UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler.
