** The fic's portrayal of Ren Serizawa having a distant and strained relationship with his father due to Ishirō being deeply in love with and more committed to his Monarch- and Godzilla-related work, ended up being right on the money to Ren's portrayal in ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'' and its novelization when they released, although it still isn't half as bad in this fic as the canon version.

* HilariousInHindsight:
** It's amusing, and uplifting for the pro-Titan crowd; when you realize that Vivienne, a woman who reveres the Titans as {{Physical God}}s, was thought by the world to have been eaten by one of the very monsters she worshipped (although Ghidorah was the only Titan she truly feared even while it was frozen), but the world will likely at some point find out that what they thought was her death was actually her essentially being elevated to godhood.
** Jonah stating "Long live the king" in response to King Ghidorah taking over the Titans in ''King of the Monsters'' becomes this due to his fate in this story. His line in the film was somewhat sarcastic, but in ''Abraxas'' he gets [[spoiler:fully turned into a Ghidorah-worshipping fanatic]].
** In Franchise/MonsterVerse canon, Admiral Stenz is the only one of the three returning human characters from the [[Film/Godzilla2014 2014 film]] who isn't explicitly killed off in ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'' (although he has an UncertainDoom in the novelization, and a death scene that was shot for the movie but wasn't used). In ''Abraxas''' AlternateContinuity, if Serizawa is indeed [[spoiler:reincarnated as Manda]], then Stenz is the only one of the three who's KilledOffForReal (the author confirmed [[https://archiveofourown.org/comments/327211573 here]] that he's staying dead).
** In this story, [[spoiler:Ghidorah is revealed to be NotQuiteDead and uses malevolent humans as a means of making its return to continue its campaign against Godzilla and the Titans of Earth]]. Something rather similar would ultimately end up happening in ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'', in which malevolent humans toying with Ghidorah's remains end up screwing themselves when Ghidorah becomes reborn within Mechagodzilla.
** In this story, Ghidorah [[spoiler:being subjugated by asshole human(oid)s only for GoneHorriblyRight to ensue for said humanoids when Ghidorah pulls a TurnedAgainstTheirMasters and makes its jailers its first victims]], is Ghidorah's past. In [=MonsterVerse=] canon, it's instead more or less Ghidorah's future in ''Godzilla vs. Kong''.
** Watching Godzilla and Scylla team up in [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13357907/15/ Chapter 15]] is this, following the release of the [=MonsterVerse=] graphic novel ''Godzilla Dominion'' (just two months following the chapter's release) where Godzilla and Scylla's post-''King of the Monsters'' interactions are... friskier. The team-up gets even more hilarious in light of this when one considers [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/648764829724819456/ the author's suggestion]] that Kraken probably didn't answer Godzilla's summons out of simple lack of enthusiasm, and what that suggests about what terms Scylla is on with Godzilla in Abraxas-verse.
** Once ''Godzilla vs. Kong'' came out, it turned out the filmmakers had the same idea as Hrodvitnon did in ''Abraxas''; about San's severed head essentially birthing a classic Toho Kaiju which both houses the head's consciousness and possesses red-colored energy powers that are unique to the new incarnation's design.
** The ''Godzilla vs. Kong'' {{novelization}} upped the above, bearing some '''striking''' similarities to plot elements of ''Abraxas'' that were posted months before the novel came out. The novelization too opened up with criminals taking up residence in an abandoned complex in [[spoiler:Russian]] territory and looking to inhumanely take advantage of a captured Titan (and a former Monarch operative is among their number in both stories no less). The novel also happened to feature a Monarch operative who survived the destruction of not just any one of the seventeen-plus outposts during the Mass Awakening but ''Outpost 58'' specifically! One has to wonder if great ''Godzilla''-fan minds really think alike or if Greg Keyes[[note]]The ''Godzilla vs. Kong'' novelization's author[[/note]] was reading ''Abraxas'' online while he worked on the novelization. The author [[https://www.tumblr.com/hrodvitnon/703365355024859136/ said]] that she was just as surprised as we were by the parallels.
*** Ren feeling jealous of Vivienne in [=AbraxasVerse=] becomes a bit more hilarious in light of the novelization's account of the Franchise/MonsterVerse-canon Ren's villainous motivations. In ''Abraxas'', Vivienne gets forcibly transformed from a human into a new Titan by San's severed head, with her mind and personality fully intact, and she has a few StagesOfMonsterGrief about this. In the ''Godzilla vs. Kong'' novelization, the [=MonsterVerse=] version of Ren is a GodhoodSeeker who actively ''wants'' to use San's head to wield a Titan's power through Mechagodzilla, but he only gets to do it briefly before the head in question kills him (or, in his novelization DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation, it seemingly grants Ren's wish by incorporating him into Mechagodzilla's consciousness at the price of causing Ren a MindReformatDeath).
** The concept of reptilian humanoids (born from Ghidorah's flesh no less) walking amongst humanity in secret while remaining beneath suspicion, which was first seriously hinted at in Chapter 13, becomes a lot funnier following the release of ''Godzilla vs. Kong'', where a {{conspiracy theorist}} believes that the movie's human villains whom are harnessing Ghidorah's remains are connected to the ReptilianConspiracy. Lampshaded by the author in [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/708556863684362240/ these two]] [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/721293093764251648/ non-canon snippets]].
** In ''King of the Monsters'', Vivienne compares Godzilla's intimidation display to a gorilla pounding its chest. In this story, after being turned into a Titan, she literally makes like a gorilla as part of her and San forming their own intimidation display.
** Mechagodzilla's introductory scene in ''Godzilla vs. Kong'' becomes this in light of the FinalBattle in ''Abraxas''. [[spoiler:Ghidorah's last surviving head]] is killed by Monster X the same way the Mecha killed Skullcrawler Number 10 and was going to kill Godzilla, but here Ghidorah's severed head is [[spoiler:on the ''receiving'' end instead of being the executioner]].
** In ''King of the Monsters'', Rick was at one point seen drinking from a mug labeled 'Not yours' (no prize for guessing what he had in the mug). In Chapter 17, he freely offers Foster a swig from his personal flask after everything that's happened.
** The Russian military are portrayed as intelligent badasses whom are much more competent in a Kaiju battle than the U.S. military in [=MonsterVerse=] canon ever was. Fast-forward to the year after the fic's completion, and the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine Russian war on Ukraine]] has shattered the Russian military's international image as one of the most effective militaries in the world, as their many shortcomings and inadequacies came to light amidst the conflict. Maybe "Hilarious" isn't the most appropriate word to use whilst the war is ongoing, but it's certainly Ironic in Hindsight.
** The fic's first chapter was posted a couple years before, and its final chapter just nine days before; the release of the pilot for the indie web series ''WebAnimation/MurderDrones''. Both works see a main female character who originates in the muggle population, bonding with and reforming the childish, put-down-upon but capable, male TokenGoodTeammate of a brutal trio of yellow-themed, inhuman, genocidal monsters. Said monster trios in both works come from space, seek to wipe the aforementioned muggles off the planet, and the female protagonist is transforming into a monster analogous to them over the course of the story. Both works also start these events in a barren, subarctic land with an elaborate underground bunker. And like San in ''Abraxas'', N in ''Murder Drones'' is also despised and viciously put down by his original trio's leader for ostensibly being useless. [[spoiler:''Murder Drones'' also sees the leader of the trio come BackFromTheDead, and it ''also'' sees the not-quite-dead remains of one of the trio give rise to an even more formless and eldritch monstrosity which becomes TheAssimilator]].
** As noted [[https://hrodvitnon.tumblr.com/post/746430388045496320/ here]]; before ''Film/GodzillaXKongTheNewEmpire'' was released, there was a fan suggestion on the author's blog that the fic's fandom's widespread take on an [=AbraxasVerse=] version of Spacegodzilla[[note]]Wherein Spacegodzilla is Godzilla's elder brother called Ozymandias, having been infected by a sentient crystalline PuppeteerParasite by Gigan's servants after they abducted him eons ago, which [[ForcedIntoEvil forces him into evil]] and tortures him[[/note]] could take Shimo's place as half of a BigBadEnsemble in an [=AbraxasVerse=] version of the movie's events. Then the movie proper came out, and it turned out that Shimo's circumstances and morality in the movie are already ''very'' similar to that which was previously invented for Spacegodzilla in the ''Abraxas'' sub-fandom.
