History Fanfic / TheMoonsFlashPrincess

** Dowmplayed with current Earth firearms. Guns do work, but require either applications of MoreDakka or are overpowered, which limits how useful they can be due to the fighting happening in Tokyo. Silver Millennium-Era firearms are more effective, able to kill weaker Youma in one shot and cause damage to stronger ones, but [[TooAwesomeToUse there is only one]].

* [[FantasyCounterpartCulture Fantasy Counterpart Language]]: The Silver Millennium had numerous languages, each with counterparts, often extinct languages, in the real world.
** Mercury: Ienni - Neshi (Hittite)
** Venus: Emerin - Akkadian (Assyrian)
** Earth: Sumerian
** Mars: Graelic - Greek
** Jupiter: Alvarin - Icelandic
** Uranus: Rakhma - Ancient Egyptian
** Neptune: Furenni - Ainu
* FasterThanLightTravel: Played straight with the Senshi teleportation, so long as they have been to a location before or already have a strong connection to it. Averted with magitech teleportaiton, though the teleport may ''seem'' instantaneous to those being teleported.

** Played with. Most firearms on Earth really ''are'' worthless against Youma, and the ones that might work have too much a risk of causing collateral damage in the process. Silver Millennium-Era firearms, on the other hand, are effective against weaker Youma, but aren't used due to the fact that there is only one available, and its owner is not going to give it up to anyone who is not specifically trained in its use for their [[UsefulNotes/GunSafety their own safety and the safety of others]].
** Rameses, the owner, also only used it once and doesn't do so again due to the fact that there is too much risk of bystanders getting caught in the crossfire.

* LanguageBarrier: Subverted with Rameses and Kebechet due to several characters, knowing one of the languages they are fluent in and thus able to communicate with and translate for them until they can learn Japanese.

*** The [[Website/SpaceBattlesDotCom SpaceBattles]] thread has two canon sidestory arcs that occur between the events of ''Waltz of the Unseelie Court'' and ''Black Sniper''.

* NoodleIncident: Rameses muses on one, likening things going well until the world decides to mess with people by remembering an incident where a [[BeyondTheImpImpossible stampede of Ragout Rabbits knocked out a dragon]], scattered its hoard, and caused it to wake up in a bad mood. As he remembers, it was a [[SarcasmMode ''fun'']] month that required half the Tamers, three full militias ''and'' an entire regiment of the Royal Guard to get things back under control.

** During the Silver Army's exploration of the Moon to find still working spaceships, they encounter one that is almost identical to the [[Franchise/StarWars Millenium Falcon]] - which is in fact introduced with WhatAPieceOfJunk.

** Persephone, as Sailor Saturn, tends to bring this reaction out by those who know what she's capable of.

The story itself in a similar way to the ''Progressive'' canon light novel: Kirito, going into the First Floor Labyrinth, encounters Asuna as she fights the local monsters and her own despair over being trapped in a deadly world. As the two forge deep bonds within the deadly virtual world, it becomes obvious that there is more to both of them, their friends and Aincrad that what is immediately apparent.

** Jadeite is also one for him [[spoiler:as he was the one that killed his parents]], to the point where he will focus his efforts on killing the Shitennou any time he appears in Kirito's sight.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Kayaba is a good guy in the story and created SAO and ALO to train people up to assist the Senshi, and [[spoiler:Lila Rossi is confirmed to be a superheroine]].
