History Fanfic / TimelessAcademia

* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Shortly after Atalante is summoned, Artemis keeps trying to show off the huntress' baby pictures and strong arm the kitchen staff into making an apple pie to welcome her, much to her protests.

* BackFromTheDead: Contrary to the early days of the game, here it's revealed in Gilles Interlude that people killed in the Singularities are not brought back once story corrects itself. However, [[spoiler: in Izuku's interlude, when given the opportunity by Romulus, the Master jumps at the opportunity to avert the deaths of the soldiers in Septem, even if at great cost, experiencing each and every death as the cost for their passage.]]

** Unsurprisingly, Artoria Pendragon Alter is this, although she tries to justify this by saying that she's getting little magical energy from Izuku Midoriya and needs to eat in order to make up the difference, unaware that this is likely not Izuku's fault, as Chaldea's system is powered by a magical generator in order to prevent Izuku's Circuits from being strained.

** Before the start of London, Anne Bonny, Mary Read, Mata Hari, and Okita Souji join the list.

** Other examples include suicide Noble Phantasms like La Pucelle and Stella. They are some of the strongest attacks available to Chaldea, but also kill their users, which makes Izuku determinated to not use them at all costs.
* DarkestHour: London as a whole. Sure, you had grim moments in other singularities and events, but this, even by WordOfGod, is remarked as the low point in Timeless Temple, where Izuku's fails come to haunt him, where his ideals are put to test, and where [[spoiler: even allies can prove to be enemies - as Shakespeare demonstrates.]]

* DeathOfAChild: [[spoiler: After all efforts to alter Jack's Saint Graph out of it's Berserker state fail, Mordred is forced to put the spirit out of the misery before it can kill someone. Izuku literally sees her dying on his arms, unable to do anything. Cue UnstoppableRage against Paracelsus.]]

* DudeShesLikeInAComa: On their first night in Okeanos after meeting Drake, Mash gets absolutely plastered and wakes up hung over... on top of a sleeping Izuku. After a bit of panic, and a lot of rationalizing, Mash brings herself around to leaning for a kiss. [[spoiler:A sleepy mumble from Izuku [[MomentKiller stops her cold]] before she completes it, and he wakes up right after.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: When [=Prototype!Cu Chulainn=] joins Chaldea, [=Caster!Cu Chulainn=] decides to change his name so that people don't get the two confused. He changes his name to Grimnir, [[spoiler:an alternate name for Odin, who is later to be revealed as using [=Caster!Cu Chulainn=] as his Pseudo-Servant in FGO proper]].
* FriendlyScheming: Anne and Mary engage in a bit of this for their Interlude, pulling Izuku along on a hunt for William Kidd's treasure. Mash accuses them of doing this solely to "woo" Izuku, which Mary denies - they actually want to [[DistinctionWithoutADifference get in his pants.]] Even so, the two recognize that Izuku is getting stir-crazy from being stuck in Chaldea for so long after his Underworld trip, so they decide to bring him on a trip that gives him the chance to stretch his legs with something basically unheard of for the modern time period, and is much less dangerous than his usual missions and risk-taking. That the group may actually find some treasure, plus Anne and Mary get to work on seducing Izuku, is all just a nice bonus.

* HeroicBSOD: IZUKU. Like Shirou at the start of VisualNovel/FateStayNight, he's a WideEyedIdealist that is steadfast on his views about heroism. Yet, time and time again, he's put [[BreakTheCutie through the wringer.]] For starters, he's unable to save Olga Marie from her canonical demise, having been ForcedToWatch. Then, in Septem, he suffers another one from having to kill human soldiers. Then, there's London, and that's a whole parade of BSOD after BSOD.

* StepfordSmiler: Izuku went through much pain during his journeys, yet keeps insisting that he's fine even when it's obvious he should't, refusing to look for help repeatedly. [[spoiler: Seeing the same behavior on Mash in the aftermath of Shakespeare's attack is what makes him realize how bad that mindset actually was for a person.]]

** In Orleans, after being sent flying by Elizabeth's Noble Phantasm, Izuku is sent high in the sky and grapples a wyvern. Then, in the fall, he manages to suplex the damn thing. Needless to say, people were quite impressedby the feat.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: Several Servants survive beyond their canonical deaths in Okeanos.
** Anne Bonny and Mary Read survive their second fight with Chaldea by defecting to them.
** [[spoiler:Hector choosing to betray Blackbeard after Anne and Mary defect instead of waiting until he's been defeated means that Blackbeard survives the betrayal and is captured by Chaldea.]]
** [[spoiler:Izuku is able to get Mash into position to block Hector's attempt to impale Asterios and Heracles, resulting in Asterios surviving their first fight with the Argonauts and living to the end of the Singularity.]]
** [[spoiler:Hector betrays the Argonauts and sides with Chaldea to prevent the destruction of humanity.]]

* CharacterRerailment: Or rather, railing properly. The early story of FGO is infamous for having many inconsistencies in it's character work, to the point that comparing some early portrayals of characters like Vlad and Jeanne is painful at certain points. The benefit of hindsight allows for those characters to become more in-line with the better writing that FGO has nowadays.

* EarlyBirdCameo: A number of Servants first show up in the first Nero Festival.[[note]]In order of appearance: William Shakespeare, Hans Christian Anderson, Mata Hari, Ushiwakamaru, Sasaki Kojirou, the original Artoria Pendragon, Altera, Medea, Mephistopheles, Euryale, Gilgamesh, and Nursery Rhyme, although only Ushiwakamaru (called Yoshitsune), Artoria, Euryale, and Gilgamesh are named.[[/note]] There's no explanation as to ''how'' these stray Servants came to be part of the act, and the author [[WordOfGod confirmed several times]] that they would not be arriving in Chaldea immediately after the festivities conclude (although, with the exception of Shakespeare and Nursery Rhyme, all of them have since had their proper introductions by the time of London).

* ShoutOut: During the fight against the Blackened Heracles, Izuku calls the attention of the Servant for an ambush just like how [[{{Film/Predator1}} Dutch taunts the Predator in the climax of the first movie.]]
