History Fanfic / TheSearchForVictory

* AdaptationalOriginConnection: The reason the super-soldier serum worked so well on Steve Rodgers is due to him coincidently having the Ancient gene.
* AllYourPowersCombined: The titular ''Victory'' is a spaceship that represents a combination of technologies from all four of the Great Races.
* AndroidsArePeopleToo: Daniel swiftly talks to JARVIS when he confirms that the A.I. can interact with him where some people would just ask Tony such questions as he designed JARVIS, to the extent that Daniel apologises that an anti-surveillance device he's about to use will stop JARVIS interacting with them during the upcoming talk.

* ArtisticLicenceBiology: Invoked; Marvel fandom often speculates that the super-soldier serum only worked on Steve Rogers because Erskine made last-minute changes to the formula that he never wrote down before he was killed, but here Daniel speculates that Steve actually has something in his blood that made him more receptive to the serum. It's later confirmed [[spoiler:after Steve and other Avengers accompany Daniel to Atlantis]] that Steve has the Ancient gene, suggesting that the gene is the reason his body responded so well to the serum.

* BigApplesauce: One of the Ori ships lands in Central Park. The reasons are speculated to be a combination of a) lingering radiation from the Chitauri wormhole combined with unique energy readings from Stark Tower and the Baxter Building making it an interesting target, and b) if your going to invade a planet, it's best to target the largest, most poputated city of the most technologically advanced nation, based on the assumption that it might be their capital. It's noted that by this logic, Beijing is just as viable a target, though the fact that the Ori at least know which country has the Stargate is implied to have affect the decision making process.

* BirdsOfAFeather: The Avengers muse that bringing Tony Stark and Rodney [=McKay=] together might be interesting, but after learning that [=McKay=] once blew up a solar system by accident, Sam and Clint each suggest that they'd prefer to hide behind a wall to witness such a meeting.

* ItsAllMyFault: Daniel blames himself when a Prior comes to a planet he visited during the search, but the planet's Head Protector makes it clear that he can't blame himself for what his enemy does.

** As the time before the Ori armada arrives at Earth shrinks, O'Neil gives Carter a 'blank check' to recruit whatever resources she feels she needs to get the planet-wide dimensional-phase shift device operational. She uses this as an excuse to recruit Tony for an arc reactor.
* MagicAIsMagicA: The portal that allowed the Chitauri to come to Earth is explicitly described as a wormhole, although Daniel notes that Sam's still trying to work out how that portal allowed two-way travel (the Chitauri coming to New York while Tony was able to send a nuclear missile through it back to their mothership) where most wormholes are one-way only.

* MundaneSolution: Once it's confirmed that the reason the Super-Soldier Serum was effective on Steve alone was because he has the Ancient gene, Doctors Beckett and Keller speculate that they could combine the Ancient gene therapy with a lesser version of the serum to treat genetic disorders and chronic diseases such as asthma without actually turning the subject into a full super-soldier.

* PoorCommunicationKills: [[spoiler:According to Marvel, when the Kree made first contact with the Asgard, they called themselves 'furling' (Kree for 'friendly traveler'), and the name stuck. When Cam lampshades the silliness of that, Daniel and Rodney point out how human history is full of similair instances]].

* SuperSerum: Doctors Beckett and Keller are able to confirm that Steve Rogers has the Ancient gene, which is the reason the serum worked on him and nobody else, and start to speculate that a modified version of the serum could be combined with the Ancient gene therapy to treat lesser infections such as Steve's original respiratory condition.

* TheUnmasquedWorld: [[spoiler:By the end of the fic, due to Cassie's whistleblowing, Jane leaking satelite images of the space battle, and the ''very'' public fights with the Ori, the Stargate Program becomes public knowledge.]]

* BigApplesauce: One of the Ori ships lands in Central Park. The reasons are speculated to be a combination of a) lingering radiation from the Chitauri wormhole combined with unique energy readings from Stark Tower making it an interesting target, and b) if your going to invade a planet, it's best to target the largest, most poputated city of the most technologically advnced nation, based on the assumption that it might be their capital. It's noted that by this logic, Beijing is just as viable a target, though the fact that the Ori at least know which country has the Stargate is implied to have affect the decision making process.

** Due to the blue coloring of their armor, Tony can't help but compare the Hydra goons to ''Franchise/TheSmurfs'', going so far as to call their leader Papa Smurf.

* HiddenDepths: JARVIS turns out to be a ClosetedGeek who likes to play ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' in his spare time. [[BlatantLies Not that he'll admit it]].

* DidntThinkThisThrough: After Cassie exposes the Stargate program in an effort to mitigate the consequences of Daniel going [=AWOL=] with the Avengers, Jack points out two major flaws in her descision making; 1) [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections Daniel's been so crucial to several off-world political relations]], that not only would he have countless places to ide out, but the fallout if anything happened to him would be catastrophic, and 2) Cassie has thwarted SG-1's efforts to keep her past as a TykeBomb secret, meaning there's a good chance of unscrupulous people [[TheyWouldCutYouUp wanting to see how she ticks]].

* IgnorantOfTheirOwnIgnorance: When [[spoiler:an Ori ship makes it to Earth, the SG teams briefing the regular military forces note that their key advantage is that the Ori forces have only encountered SG teams in small numbers rather than fighting Earth’s forces in large-scale ground operations, so won’t actually know what to expect when they genuinely come to Earth itself]].

** When Atlantis is brought to full power by the new [=ZPMs=], it activates a training program that releases what Clint calls the [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries “Silver Death-Tribbles”]] , although [=McKay=] notes that they’re more like the Tribbles crossed with [[Franchise/TheAddamsFamily Cousin It]].

* MagicAIsMagicA: The portal that allowed the Chitauri to come to Earth is explicitly described as a wormhole, although Daniel notes that Sam's still trying to work out how that portal allowed two-way travel (the Chitauri coming to New York while Tony was able to send a missle through it back to their mothership) where most wormholes are one-way only.

* NoodleIncident: According to Daniel, [[Recap/StargateSG1S4E12Tangent after he tried to distract a Goa’uld ship by introducing himself as ‘the Great and Powerful Oz’]], Jacob subsequently returned to the Tok’ra to find them all panicking about this ‘unknown’ Goa’uld and nearly bust a gut from laughing so much.

* ShoutOut: When Atlantis is brought to full power by the new [=ZPMs=], it activates a training program that releases what Clint calls the [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries “Silver Death-Tribbles”]] , although [=McKay=] notes that they’re more like the Tribbles crossed with [[Franchise/TheAddamsFamily Cousin It]].
** Due to the blue coloring of their armor, Tony can't help but compare the Hydra goons to ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'', going so far as to call their leader Papa Smurf.

* CanonWelding: Quite a few interesting ideas, ranging from Steve Rogers possessing the Ancient gene to how the ''Stargate'' Asgard can be reconciled with the Asgard seen in the ''Thor'' films, although the writer freely admits that the storyline mainly works if the events of ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' are dismissed from this version of the [=MCU=].

* UnskilledButStrong: Teal’c reflects at one point that the Ori army is this, which particularly irritates him as they have only delivered their past {{CurbStompBattle}}s due to their powerful technology when their forces would just be toy soldiers without such an advantage.

* SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: The [=SGC's=] absence in the [[Film/TheAvengers2012 Battle of New York]] is explained as the powers that be not wanting to break TheMaquerade.

* CanonWelding: Quite a few interesting ideas, ranging from Steve Rogers possessing the Ancient gene to how the ''Stargate'' Asgard can be reconciled with the Asgard seen in the ''Thor'' films, although the writer freely admits that the storyline mainly works if the events of ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' are dismissed from this version of the [=MCU=]

* NoodleIncident: According to Daniel, after he tried to distract a Goa’uld ship by introducing himself as ‘the Great and Powerful Oz’ (“[[Recap/StargateSG1S4E12Tangent Tangent]]”), Jacob subsequently returned to the Tok’ra to find them all panicking about this ‘unknown’ Goa’uld and nearly bust a gut from laughing so much.

* ShoutOut: When Atlantis is brought to full power by the new [=ZPMs=], it activates a training program that releases what Clint calls the “Silver Death-Tribbles” (''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'', "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E15TheTroubleWithTribbles The Trouble With Tribbles]]"), although [=McKay=] notes that they’re more like the Tribbles crossed with Cousin It (''Franchise/TheAddamsFamily'').
