History Tropers / Wingedcatgirl

* FramingDevice: [[DownplayedTrope Only occasionally mentioned]], the fic is meant to be Tempest's journal. Because it's an in-character journal, she occasionally skips things she doesn't think are worth writing down, and sometimes an "editor's note" shows up.

* ShoutOut: The author's notes usually open with "[[FanFic/QuarterLifeHalfwayToDestruction ATUHOR'S NOSE]]". %% There are several more but I'm leaving it to the tropermind to find and add them. It'll be fun! -wingedcatgirl

* MagicAIsMagicA: Discussed in the first chapter. When Tempest realizes that she has a Keyblade, she immediately goes into a rant about how she can't ''just have'' a Keyblade. "The tutorial voice" suggests that she ''could'' be the progenitor of a new line of Keyblades, since that's something that necessarily must happen from time to time, but admits when pressed that this isn't ''actually'' the case.

* ShoutOut: The author's notes usually open with "[[FanFic/QuarterLifeHalfwayToDestruction ATUHOR'S NOSE]]". %% There are several more but on some vague undefined principle I refuse to be the one to add them -wingedcatgirl

* OddlyCommonRarity: Tempest lampshades that Keyblades have become this.

* PeopleJars: In Vexen's lab, related to the Replica Project. Described "[[BuffySpeak eloquently]]" as "those people-holding tubes iconic of a mad scientist's lair".

* SelfInsertFic: The author makes absolutely no attempt to hide this.
* ShoutOut: A handful of the author's notes open with "[[FanFic/QuarterLifeHalfwayToDestruction ATUHOR'S NOSE]]". %% There are several more but on some vague undefined principle I refuse to be the one to add them -wingedcatgirl

* {{Transgender}}: Tempest is a trans woman, as you would likely have assumed [[SelfInsert if you happened to know the author]]. Her brother Luke is a trans man. The scientist Nox, who wrote the reports on Points of Shadow, is also a trans woman.

* PaintingTheMedium: The ''VideoGame/FallenLondon'' segment is mostly written in third-person, unlike the rest of the story, and uses titles in its NamelessNarrative style, though Tempest and Riku still use names in the dialogue.

[[http://the.actual.link.instead.of.a.placeholder X XXXXXX XXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXXX]] ([[http://other.actual.link.instead.of.a.placeholder AO3 mirror]]) is a ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' fanfic by wingedcatgirl (yes, [[Tropers/{{Wingedcatgirl}} the same one]] as on ThisVeryWiki). Tempest, [[SelfInsert a fictionalized version of the author]], finds herself thrust into the Kingdom Hearts multiverse when Earth falls to darkness and she gets a Keyblade because of course she does, Keyblades stopped being special in canon like seven entries ago. Organization XIII has inexplicably come back, a whole generation of OriginalCharacter antagonists (and allies) is suddenly active again after in-universe decades, and Xehanort is still planning to Xehanort it up (even if he's taking a pause to reevaluate these new circumstances). Because why would a ''small'' number of ''easily-handled'' plots ever happen in the Kingdom Hearts multiverse?

* TrainingFromHell: Yuffie puts Tempest through this, partly because Tempest would otherwise have no combat skills at all, and partly because [[IResembleThatRemark she was annoyed that Tempest expected her to do this]].

Instead here's a draft for a page on a fanfic I'm writing, which I arbitrarily don't want to be the one to create for some reason...? Hm, after all the effort I put in writing this, it'd be a shame to just let it gather dust until someone else makes the page. ... I'll put it up when I feel like it.

* DontLikeDontRead: The first two chapters open with a note to the effect of "this is a SelfInsertFic, don't read it if you don't like those".

* AnimatedArmor: The Assault Armor, which Sora calls out as a cliche (since Guard Armor and Trinity Armor already existed).

* {{Crossover}}: It's ''Kingdom Hearts'', so naturally crossing-over happens. So far, ''VideoGame/FallenLondon'' has made an appearance.

FanWorks/KingdomHearts,

* AppliedPhlebotinum: "Flux", a substance released when light clashes with darkness, has high magical energy and is therefore very desirable.

[[AC: trivia/ subpage]]
* DeletedScene: Occasionally, when rewriting, the author considers the old version of a scene too amusing to just consign to oblivion, and posts a screenshot of it to her twitter account.
* DevelopmentGag: Chapter 7 uses the phrase "serious lecture on opsec", mainly to reference [[https://twitter.com/wingedcatgirl/status/953013341747924997 this]] deleted scene the author found particularly amusing.
* NamesTheSame: Luke's name does rather remind one of ''Franchise/StarWars''. This is {{lampshade|Hanging}}d, but WordOfGod is that this is not meant as a ShoutOut.
* ScheduleSlip: Discussed in the author notes. While she doesn't strictly have a "schedule" (precisely because she wouldn't be able to keep to it), she complains about her writing pace whenever she takes more than two weeks to upload a chapter.
* WordOfGod: Several facts have yet to appear in the story proper, and are known only from the author notes or other communications:
** [[OneTrueThreesome Sora/Riku/Kairi]] is canon to the fic. The author admits she may ''never'' actually depict this in text, in part because none of them are viewpoint characters and so they don't get as much screentime as she'd like to use to develop a relationship properly.
** Nox being a trans woman is mentioned only in an author note ''only on the [=AO3=] mirror''. [[note]]The author doesn't like to put notes on the FFN upload of Jiminy's Journal interludes, because that site has no dedicated notes sections, and in Jiminy's Journal interludes she prefers to dedicate its only separator to separating the individual entries.[[/note]] If you only read the FFN upload, you'd have no indication of her gender at all.

[[http://the.actual.link.instead.of.a.placeholder X XXXXXX XXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXXX]] is a ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' fanfic by wingedcatgirl (yes, [[Tropers/{{Wingedcatgirl}} the same one]] as on ThisVeryWiki). Tempest, [[SelfInsert a fictionalized version of the author]], finds herself thrust into the Kingdom Hearts multiverse when Earth falls to darkness and she gets a Keyblade because of course she does, Keyblades stopped being special in canon like seven entries ago.

* FictionalColor: ''VideoGame/FallenLondon'''s Violant shows up. Tempest and Riku have vague impressions that they could use it to remember... ''something'' [[spoiler:hinted to be Xion]] and pick up a pot of it.

* WrongContextMagic: Tempest complains that the return of Organization XIII is this, since among other oddities it has resulted in Axel and Lea walking around at the same time, despite the fact that there should only be one body between them. [[spoiler:The explosion of the Kingdom Hearts Encoder was technically not "outside context", but it certainly ''didn't'' follow any of the other rules of magic in the setting]].

* LyingCreator: An accidental example -- [[spoiler:chapter 8 ends with a note stating that chapter 9 will probably contain no "boss fight", giving several reasons for this]]. While the author ''expected'' this to be true when she wrote the note, the next chapter does exactly not what the note said.

** The "tutorial voice" in Tempest's Dive to the Heart belongs to an actual character in the story. ''Which'' character has yet to be stated even in an author note, but it's someone who wouldn't use the phrase "recursion needs a base case".

* OldShame: {{Downplayed|Trope}}; while she doesn't outright ''hate'' any of it (and it's also not particularly old yet), the author does consider the early chapters, particularly the first, to be noticeably weaker than the later ones.

* DontLikeDontRead: The first two chapters open with a note to the effect of "this is a SelfInsertFic, don't read it if you don't like that".

* MagicAIsMagicA: Discussed in the first chapter. When Tempest realizes that she has a Keyblade, she immediately goes into a rant about how she can't ''just have'' a Keyblade.

* OldShame: [[DownplayedTrope While she's still fond of it overall]], the author considers the early chapters, particularly the first, to be noticeably weaker than the later ones.

I was going to copy all the text from my previous troper page but then I changed my mind.
