The final story of ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries'' begins with a crew of filmmakers traveling to Antarctica on a boat to film a documentary about icebergs. Though the crew isn't happy about the climate, they still continue to work. Down in the ship's engineering section, some men continue to keep the boat moving until it suddenly lurches to the side, causing ice-cold water to come in through the hull. Meanwhile, a [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos certain tall man]] has begun appearing in some of Hobbes's videos...

!!Tropes:
* AndTheAdventureContinues: This exact phrase is used in the ending (in the place where '''"THE END"''' would normally be).
* BringMyBrownPants: Referenced.
--> '''Producer:''' ''[on the wet Jefferson]'' Have an accident, Jefferson?\\
'''Jefferson:''' Oh! Er... Brandy got away from me...
* CassandraTruth: Much like other stories featuring him, none of the FiveManBand initially believe Socrates about [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slender Man]] stalking him.
* DarkIsNotEvil[=/=]GoodAllAlong: The climax of the story, where Slender Man takes out Thunderstorm and Shadow, heavily implies he was actually on the heroes' side all along. The very last line makes this more explicit, as he waves silently to the heroes, his mission completed.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Hoo boy, where to begin:
** The opening scenes on the ship could've been the opening for a slasher film, and no one would've noticed a difference.
** Socrates is stalked by the Slender Man and attacked by a knife-wielding, gas-mask and hoodie-wearing psycho while he is alone in his house.
** Dr. Thunderstorm tries to sell out the earth to a bunch of aliens.
** And the two villains are heavily implied to be ''killed'' by the Slender Man at the end.
** The whole MindProbe scene with Jack, who is described as [[MindRape being in pain the entire time.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: It is specifically noted that Shadow [[AvertedTrope "didn't understand]] the fine art of deadpan snarking".
* DistressedDude:
** Socrates. He is continuously stalked by Slenderman for some apparent reason, is attacked by a gas-and-masked wearing psycho with a knife in his house, and is kidnapped by Thunderstorm and Shadow for the alien transmitter/reciever implanted in his head.
** Dr Brainstorm and Jack are also this when they are captured by their rivals in the middle of the story.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Calvin remarks upon this in the ending:
--> "Yeah, a lot has happened. You know, I remember back in the very beginning when it was just Hobbes and me against the world – fighting against the slimy girls, homework, babysitters and eggplant casserole. Then we met a mad scientist who wanted to rule the world with imagination, and then a bunch of idiot aliens mistook me for the Earth Potentate, then we met Socrates, and then we met Andy and Sherman, and then Dr Brainstorm and Jack showed up, and then I had the MTM, and it's just been one madcap adventure after another. It used to be so quiet around here, and now I'm constantly saving the planet with my five best friends in the world."
* EndOfSeriesAwareness: Crosses over with LeaningOnTheFourthWall in the epilogue.
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath:
** Whether or not they really died, the fact remains that Slender Man was the one who took Thunderstorm and Shadow out of action.
** It [[SubvertedTrope almost]] happened to the crew of the ship that Shadow encountered. Fortunately, it didn't happen.
* FakingTheDead: Jack does this briefly to fool Thunderstorm and Shadow.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The creepy video Socrates and the others watch in Chapter 4 reveal Thunderstorm's return and his implied fate.
* GrandFinale
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: The entire epilogue, where the five heroes look back on their adventures - and thus, ''The Series'' - in a very meta way.
* LightsOffSomebodyDies: Ambiguously, Thunderstorm and Shadow.
* MindProbe: After capturing them, Thunderstorm has Shadow forcibly probe Jack's mind to steal one of Frank's old ideas that lead to him learning about Socrates' transmitter. [[NightmareFuel It's as brutal]] [[MindRape as it sounds]].
* MythologyGag: The final lines of the series:
--> '''Hobbes:''' Where are we going to go?
--> '''Calvin:''' Exploring! Where else?
* NeverFoundTheBody: Did Slender Man really kill Thunderstorm and Shadow? It's never made very clear.
* NotSoStoic: Jack in Part 3 shows this when he finds Thunderstorm and Shadow.
* SanitySlippage: Thunderstorm starts suffering from this as soon as he finds the Slender Man.
* ShoutOut:
** Jack describes Dr. Pepper as [[VisualNovel/SteinsGate "an intellectual drink for the chosen ones."]]
** The [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slender Man]] aspects of the story take a number of cues from ''WebVideo/MarbleHornets'', particularly in the mask-wearing man and the video the protagonists watch (which has all the hallmarks of a [=totheark=] video).
* TakeThat:
** Towards Windows 8 at the beginning.
** And then there's this:
-->''After a few minutes, Socrates came down the stairs carrying a giant box. "Alright, I have my entire horror movie collection right here for our viewing pleasure!" he announced, dropping it in front of Calvin and the gang, causing a loud thump.''
-->''The group stared at it. "Are you sure it's a good idea to be watching horror movies right now?" Andy asked.''
-->''"Probably not, but it's either this or we go through my extensive Creator/NicolasCage collection."''
-->''Everyone sat there, weighing their options.''
-->''"Let's see what you got there," Hobbes said, motioning to the box.''
