This Means War!
by Brahian, now called "Afterwards", is a Mega Crossover between Harry Potter, The Twilight Saga, Maximum Ride, and all of Rick Riordan's works. Basically, all the characters who didn't know they had books in the Muggle/human/mortal world find out, and then they basically get jealous of each other's books because of popularity issues. So, they decide to challenge each other, assuming they'll become more popular because, quote Annabeth: "Somone will write about it, or something." After a series of events, they finnally contact each other through a medium called WhizFace . All of them, along with an OC named Ryan, arrange to meet at a certain place. Then they proceed to undergo a series of Tasks and war games , gaining popularity because of, ironically, the fanfiction itself. Somewhere along the way, they find out all the major villains are coming back (even those from Twilight, which one at first thinks are there for comic relief). Now, strange things are happening, major changes are occuring, and our heroes must team up to once again save the world from the forces of evil.
Not to be mixed up with This Means War Jeconais by - a Harry/Ginny fic.
Other than those in the original works, this fic contains examples of:
- Big "NO!": Angel after having her mind-control fail on Harry due to Bella's mental shield.
- Call-Forward:
- [Percy: "There's no way they could fit all that in there, unless they make the whole thing, like, a huge control panel with buttons all over the place."]
- Everything Makes a Mushroom: When Carter and Sadie's chariot explodes, Percy can see the mushroom cloud all the way from the finish line.
- Game-Breaker: Jason has control over the wind, making Quidditch pretty much unlosable for him. However, Angel averts this by making Travis turn around just as he's about to catch the Snitch.
- Heinz Hybrid:
- Ryan is a mutant demigod wizard who was bitten by a vampire and a werewolf at the same time. (Fortunately, vampire and werewolf venoms are polar opposites, so they canceled each other out, saving him many a hideous transformation.) Oh, and his great-great-great-great-whatever-grampa was a pharaoh.
- Princess Buttrflykiss is a hybrid between a unicorn, pegasus, hippocampus, and thestral , all of which are hybrids themselves.
- Joke Character: The Twilight cast is chalk-full of them, although, they do win one competition, so they're not competely useless...
- The Nondescript: During his first introduction, Ryan is frequently described as looking like an average teenager.
- Only One Name:
- [Ryan: "I am Ryan. Just Ryan."]
- Running Gag:
- Breaking the Fourth Wall.
- Characters from different books reading each others' books.
- Rule of Funny: Pretty much the only reason the Twilight characters are so OOC .
- Shout-Out:
- The song in Chapter 13 goes to the tune of "Run, Candace, Run," from the Phineas and Ferb episode of the same name.
- Carter and Sadie's chariot is Mario Kart themed.
