A list of tropes pertaining to ''Vienna Burning'', which details the Yandere Quartet's attempts at destabilizing division 2 of the SLS.

Although a stand-alone tale in the pantheon's canon, it does get some references in later tales, and includes a few {{Continuity Nod}}s to the ones prior. [[https://tropepantheon.wordpress.com/vienna-burning/ The tale can be read here]].

----
!!''Vienna Burning'' provides examples of:

* BeigeProse: Occasionally prone to this.
* BigDamnHeroes: Subverted during Day 1. Hungary randomly collapses, and as everyone's trying to figure out what's going on, [[TheMedic Konaka]] shows up.... only she turns out to be Belarus dressed up as her, and starts throwing knives at everyone.
** Played straight during the FinalBattle. [[spoiler:Sapphire and Naoto are fighting Kotonoha, and she's about to escape up a flight of stairs, only for Kirigiri to [[ItMakesSenseInContext run her over with an operating table]]. Could also count as TheDogBitesBack.]]
* BigNo: Setsuna, right after [[spoiler:Tsukuyomi tries to kill Konaka during the FinalBattle.]]
* TheChewToy: Austria, who gets blown up, kidnapped, [[spoiler:medically experimented on, blown up again, injected with a mutated form of Hinamizawa Syndrome, accidentally shot in the head, set on fire, and decapitated by a handsaw.]]
* ComicBookTime: Averted. The story begins a week after the destruction of the Friendship Asylum, which puts it at July/early August 2014.
* ContinuityNod: Kairi is still working in the GUAG Medical Division. Probably because she's looking after [[spoiler:Sora]], who was also a patient [[HeroOfAnotherStory at the time]] (though he is never mentioned).
* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:Hungary gives one to everyone experimenting on Austria with her pan on Day 13]]
* DistressedDude / DamselInDistress: Kuzuryuu, Konaka, and Austria, who are all kidnapped by the GUAE. [[spoiler:So is Switzerland. Subverted with everyone except Austria, who escape on their own.]]
* EvilPlan: A major part of this arc is the Yandere Quartet's plan to disable the SLS, which consists of a) blowing up parts of Europe, b) kidnapping the love interests of everyone in the SLS, [[spoiler:c) infecting the SLS with Hinamizawa Syndrome, and d) after the SLS killed each other, killing their love interests.]]
* FinalBattle: Day 13.
* HatePlague: [[spoiler:A major part of the Yandere Quartet's plans involve infecting the SLS with Hinamizawa Syndrome.]]
* HealthcareMotivation: Kairi works at the medical division throughout the tale [[spoiler:to cover Sora's medical expenses after he lost a leg]], and for her own broken arm.
* HeelRealization: Belarus gets one [[spoiler:right after witnessing the SLS's actions under Hinamizawa Syndrome, which she was told by Yuno to do. This doesn't last.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Peko disables Nu-13 during the FinalBattle by forcing her to impale herself with her own swords.]]
* IHaveYourWife: The Yandere Quartet kidnaps Kuzuryuu, Konaka, and Austria in an attempt to lure the SLS towards them.
* IJustWantToBeLoved: Belarus' motivation for pretty much everything she does in this story.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Nu-13 impales Kuzuryuu on Day 2 [[spoiler:and Peko on day 13. She is also disabled in this way.]]
* IShouldWriteABookAboutThis: [[spoiler:Because Kairi (and, to a lesser extent, Sora) had been indirectly involved in the whole event, Riku wrote of the whole events as the fourth entry of the Villains Log, as revealed in "Reformation of Law"]].
* ItIsDehumanizing: Raygo Kiryun's [[spoiler:notes on Austria's condition only refer to him as 'the subject' or 'it'.]]
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: Belarus, right after she encounters Lithuania. [[spoiler:She plans to bomb Vilnius to kill him.]]
* TheMedic: For the GUAG Medical Division, Kairi is this. [[spoiler:She's paying off her debt to Black Jack, and is helping to look after one of her friends, who had been injured just days earlier]].
* PinnedToTheWall: Nu-13 pins Kuzuryuu to a wall on Day 2 before impaling him, [[spoiler:and does the same to Peko on Day 13.]]
* ResetButtonEnding: [[spoiler: For the mortal plane.]]
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Switzerland goes on one against the GAUE [[spoiler:after Liechtenstein gets blown up. He gets kidnapped by them during this.]]
* SayMyName: Setsuna's on the receiving end of this twice. Once by Tsukuyomi and once by Konaka.
* SerialKiller: Kotonoha becomes this in Austria.
* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Mion Sonozaki. If she hadn't switched places with Shion, the Yandere Quartet's plan of letting the SLS destroy itself under Hinamizawa Syndrome would've worked]]
* TheStinger: Two of them. During the first one, [[spoiler:Estonia wakes up in the hospital, and tries to figure out why he's two weeks out of synch with his country.]] The second one takes place about two weeks later [[spoiler:and reveals that the whole thing was being told by Sapphire to Almaz.]]
* StuffBlowingUp: The Yandere Quartet bombs parts of Europe in an attempt to disable Hungary and Austria. [[spoiler:Liechtenstein and Estonia also get blown up during the story]].
* SwitchingPOV: Almost every single character gets a POV segment, and some events are narrated from a group POV.
* SympatheticPOV: Played straight with Belarus, averted with Yuno, Kotonoha, Raygo, Tsukuyomi, and Nu-13.
* TwinSwitch: [[spoiler:Mion and Shion switched places before the events of the story.]]
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Lithuania. If [[spoiler:Belarus hadn't run into him right after her HeelRealization, she wouldn't been reminded of how he turned her into an unloved person, wouldn't tried to kill him by blowing up Vilnius, and actually blown up Tallinn.]]
* UnwittingPawn: Belarus to the Yandere Quartet.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The last scene [[spoiler:Belarus is in features her flying a plane over what she believes is Vilnius and trying to blow it up. It's never specified what happened to her after that.]]
