* LowCultureHighTech: Despite humanity have already constructed monoplanes and the atomic bomb with the absences of the First and Second World Wars, according to the author, human culture and society lags considerably. This includes: overlong travels that depends on coal-burning trains as civilian cars and commercial air travel are non-existent, and nor do the basic family having a bicycle, as the smelting of the metal to make one makes it too expensive; "cinemas" are extremely uncommon; clothing trend are based out of surplus uniform fabric, as cloth are becoming scarce; engineers and applied scientists are much more common than historically, but very few universities bother much with history, art or literature programs; cultural arts are practically dead except for propaganda pieces; and the life of an average citizen is comparable to what is like living in EastGermany.

* AllohistoricalAllusion: There is a story from a science-fiction magazine about a world without the Fae and sets in around the present day after [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarOne Germany was coxed by the Austrian-Hungarian Empire into fighting a war it lost to England and France]], and it's eager for [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarTwo revenge]] and under some [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler maniacal dictator]]. The reader laughs off the latter idea and the thought of a major war that could cost the lives of millions of people as being unrealistic. Justified that every nations now have weapons such as the machinegun that could be put into deadly use against the Fae and couldn't imagine anyone would use it on their fellow human beings instead, and considering how the Fae had already mounted an aggressive warfare that surpassed humanity since 1898.

A story by RCTFI of AlternateHistoryDotCom, ''Dystopic Return of Magic'' is...[[ExactlyWhatItSaysonTheTin well, just look at the title]].
The premise is that in an [[AlternateHistory alternate]] 1950's humanity is fighting a desperate war against [[TheFairFolk the Fae]], who invaded Earth in the late 19th Century. And ''God'', how things suck.

* AlternateHistory: Not a remotely nice one.
* ChurchMilitant: The Catholic Church calls for a new Crusade against the Fae, in which Spain and much of southern Europe gladly have their military following under the church.
* CrapsackWorld: The very ''title'' claims this.
* EnemyMine: All past animosity between human nations have long been and somewhat diminished after the Fae came.
* TheFairFolk: About the most ''frightening'' version ever written.
* FantasticSlurs: The Fae are called elves by the Americans.
* FateWorseThanDeath: What ''will'' happen to you if the Fae take you alive.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Invoked by Louis Spaller when he sees how his fellow soldiers dealt with wounded Fae and are no different from what they are fighting against. This is pretty much applied to the rest of humanity.
* HopelessWar: Humanity and the Fae had been waging war for over 45 years.
* HumansThroughAlienEyes: The Fae ''can't'' understand how human society works.

* TheMagicVersusTechnologyWar: World War I-II-era human technology against the medieval-style, magic-using Fae.
* MonumentalDamage: The Statue of Liberty was reduced to a molten slag due to a Fae raid and now serves as a monument of hate for the Fae.
* NukeEm: A common human tactic.
* ToServeMan: The Fae sees humanity as common cattle.
* TheSquadette: Some human nations allowed women to fill in for the lack of manpower in the military and industry given that the world had been pressed hard against the Fae and losing a chunk of the human population.
* WeHaveReserves: Another common human tactic.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Given from what the Fae had done for humanity, humanity return them in the same favor.
