History Fanfic / TheSoulmateTimeline

** Matsuri's Magical Girl Story event and the events of Cross Connection come up a lot in Kamihama Interlude 2 as part of Matsuri and her friends having history in Kamihama. Matsuri's friend group looking for Takoyaki is also referenced by Yuuri, who mentions Arisa pointed her to a good Takoyaki place.
** Kyoko's admitting that she doesn't do anything special with her hair and the other holding her down so they can treat it is taken straight from her Pajama Costume story from ''Magica Record''.
** Kyoko invites Homura to Récompense, the cafe owned by Mabayu's aunt, for a 'not-date'.

** Below these Witches are dozens of others who appear often but have not gained particular animosity. The Armors Witch is among these.

* SharedDream: One aspect of being Soulmates is sharing dreams based on memories. Madoka shared Homura's nightmare in the first chapter, while in seventh chapter both Madoka and Homura, who had since become a lot closer to Mami, experienced Mami's. Iroha also experiences part of Yachiyo's memories in a dream in the first Kamihama chapter.

* ComboPlatterPowers: Magical Girls come with a standard set of powers that all Magical Girls share to a greater or lesser extent: they are superhumanly strong and fast, able to leap multiple stories, and are able to manipulate magic for a variety of purposes including enhancing objects with magic, creating barriers, creating from magic in general, and healing, sensory abilities to detect magic, the ability to reduce their bodies' physical needs, telepathy, and immortality. On top of this, Magical Girls have abilities unique to them based on their wish such as future sight, time travel, and controlling others. Magical Girls also have some level of elemental affinity, such as fire, while individual Magical Girls will be better at certain universal powers than others; for example Mami, Sayaka, and Komaki are better at creating, healing, and creating barriers than others naturally.

* SwissArmySuperpower: It's noted, often by Mami, that a Magical Girl's powers are limited only by their imagination. Mami's talent with her ribbons is a standout example, though she is far from the only example.

** Holy Quintet's Joyous Friendship, a magical girl series from decades ago that Madoka's family has VHS tapes of. As it turns out, as a child it was Homura's favorite show, a fandom only she had in the orphanage, and she'll still get angry if someone badmouths it.
** The Endless Trail is a book Homura gives to [[spoiler: Hitomi]] that had she had been given in a previous timeline from its dead owner that is about a endless winding path they can't get off until they overcome their issues. According to the latter, a movie is in the works for it in the current timeline.

** The Immortal Explorer series, which Hitomi had read the first book and plans to give it to Sayaka for her birthday, is a ongoing historical fantasy series about an girl from 14th century Egypt who gains magical powers she uses to see the world written by a historian. [[spoiler: Hitomi suspects it might be more than that.]]

** Mami uses her magic to create ribbons for Madoka to wear in her colors (gold), Homura's (purple), and both Mami's and Homura's (purple and gold). She also mentions she uses magic to make it easier to run despite having large breasts to add as extra support, and offers to teach it to Sayaka.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Where Soulbonds come from is something that Homura has wondered about in story. Having found evidence in her research all the way back to the age of cavemen, Homura is sure that it has to be the work of the Incubators and it can't be the work of God because she can't imagine He actually exists (she can't stomach God allowing the Incubators to run free). Kyubey in turn is completely clueless about their origins and has nothing to do with them,and is outright continuously thrown off by them, leaving their origins completely unsure. Every culture throughout the world has their own views on them, each claiming their origin to be from their own from the gods of Japan to the Christian God, with no indication of whom, if any, is right about it. So if Soulbonds are the creation of magic from another source than the Incubators, some divine blessing, or an unknown third source is unclear, and it seems that Homura and Kyubey, being outsiders to the system, are the only ones who ever dwell on it. [[spoiler:The fact that the Madoka from the most recent timeline that Homura had been in before this one gave Homura a book that fits very much with her current situation in the new timeline and that Homura does not know what that Madoka's fate or if she made a wish before Homura did her reset adds more questions into where Soulbonds came from.]]

** Mami uses her magic to create ribbons for Madoka to wear in her colors (gold), Homura's (purple), and both Mami's and Homura's (purple and gold).

** Homura has found a few human names of the Witches that she encounters, beyond the Holy Quintet and [[spoiler: Hitomi]], she also knows the names of at least Kirika's [[/note]] Latria[[note]] and the identities of the Scribbling Witch/Albertine and the Box Witch/H.N Elly[[/note]] Hiroko Nako[[note]] among others, though it is too late for her to do anything about their fates. During the story she learns the identities of Charlotte [[/note]] Nagisa[[note]], The Armor Witch [[/note]] Takako Takeda[[note]], and Patricia [[/note]] Noriko Chiasa[[note]], as well as by implication that of Stacey the Cat Witch[[/note]] being Takako's friend[[note]], though the latter two she's too late to do anything about. She dwells at times about being unable to save them, both as potential allies and to spare them the fate of witching out.
