2
3	It consists of three stories:
4	* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11432708/1/Here-Be-Dragons-Memento-Mori Here Be Dragons: Memento Mori]]'' (On hiatus as of December 2020)
5	--> His crimes are beyond forgiveness and death is the punishment he deserves, but if Chrom will not deliver the sentence then Gangrel will risk life and limb in order to kill whatever enemy stands on the Shepherds' way. Now if only Robin had not ordered him not to die.
6	* ''Here Be Dragons: Ubi Sunt'' (planned)
7	* ''Here Be Dragons: Amor Fati'' (planned)
8
9	The [[OneTruePairing main pairing]] is Gangrel[=/=]Robin.
10
11	----
12	!!''Here Be Dragons'' provides examples of:
13
14	* ChekhovsGun: There is a stone Gangrel refuses to be separated from, which he got [[TragicKeepsake from his mother]].
15	%%* DeathSeeker: Gangrel.
16	%%* DragonWithAnAgenda: Aversa for Gangrel.
17	* EasilyForgiven: Unsurprisingly averted (as in canon), with more focus on the opinions of most other Shepherds - the majority either hate or distrust Gangrel for his past crimes (or both), only some of whom will give him the benefit of the doubt. Those who are amiable with him can be counted on a single hand as of Chapter 7 - Robin, the first of these, has roomed him with [[SociopathicHero Henry]] and [[ReformedCriminal Gaius]] due to realising they would deal much better than any other man (or woman) in the company.
18	%%* {{Flashback}}: As dreams.
19	%%* {{Foreshadowing}}: Given out in small doses:
20	%%** Robin is [[spoiler:Reflet.]]
21	%%** Lucina is worried because Gangrel [[spoiler:is not alive in her timeline.]]
22	%%* GuileHero: Robin.
23	%%* HeCleansUpNicely: Robin seems to think this of Gangrel once he gets into his new clothes.
24	%%* HeelFaceTurn: Gangrel, of course.
25	* IDontLikeYouAndYouDontLikeMe: Part of Gangrel's introduction as the newest member of the Shepherds.
26	* MarkOfTheBeast: Grima's on Robin's hand. [[spoiler:Gangrel knows what's up.]]
27	* MeaningfulName: Gaius' nickname for Gangrel is "Rex", which references both his being the former King of Plegia and a popular name for a dog. [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Gangrel himself doesn't miss this and is amused by it]].
28	* MildlyMilitary: The Shepherds, specifically Chrom realizing they have no anti-fraternization policy, leading to {{Battle Couple}}s and [[KidFromTheFuture Kids From The Future]].
29	* MythologyGag: Gangrel's new outfit is this to the regular clothes of the Trickster class (right down to the hat).
30	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: [[spoiler:Cordelia]] delivers one to Gangrel.
31	* {{Pirate}}s: They find Gangrel enslaved by these in the first chapter of ''Memento Mori''.
32	* PragmaticAdaptation: Shifting Gangrel's recruitment to just before the Valm campaign begins proper (between game Chapters 13 & 14), as well as showing that his old clothes(which no longer fit him as a ''former'' King) have been reduced to rags after his two years as a slave of the pirates; he gets a new outfit which symbolises his new lease on life.
33	* PseudoCanonicalFic: Instead of waiting until the end to recruit Gangrel (who is a Spot Pass character in the game), his story gets integrated before the Valm arc to great effect. [[FanonDiscontinuity Which makes more sense]].
34	* RagsToRoyalty: Gangrel in his backstory, but the war sends him ''below'' the level he had started at, as slave to {{Pirate}}s.
35	%%* ReformedButRejected: Gangrel as he joins the Shepherds.
36	* ShoutOut: Henry's has [[Literature/TheRaven a crow friend]] who he calls [[Creator/EdgarAllanPoe "Poe"]].
37	%%* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Henry, at least with [[CrowsAndRavens Poe]].
38	%%* TeethClenchedTeamwork:
39	%%** Ylisse and Regna Ferox with Plegia against Valm.
40	%%** Gangrel and the Shepherds.
41	%%* ThatManIsDead: Gangrel when first found in ''Memento Mori''. [[MadeASlave He doesn't look like before either]].
42	%%* TheAtoner: Gangrel.
43	%%* TheDogBitesBack: Gangrel to the {{Pirate}}s.
44	* TheNicknamer: Gaius, who along with the canon ones gives Gangrel the appellation "Rex".
45	* UnresolvedSexualTension: It's starting up between Robin and Gangrel. They are evenly matched at the teasing and flirting department so far.
