History FanFic / GhostBoy

* BadDreams: Turbo suffers from these chronically throughout the fic. Many are actually [[spoiler: FlashbackNightmare dreams of the time he spent as King Candy.]]

[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8749740/1/Ghost-Boy Ghost Boy]] (now with a [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/11199000/chapters/25009857 rewrite]]) is a ''Disney/WreckItRalph'' fanfic by turbomun.

This page needs more tropes.

* EnemyWithin:
** [[spoiler:The malware, to Turbo.]]
** [[spoiler: EnemyWithout]]

-->'''Announcer:''' [[spoiler: [[WhamLine KING CANDY!]]]]

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Even before he game-jumped, Turbo wasn't well-liked by the other characters in the arcade.
** It's implied that he started out as InnocentlyInsensitive, was mocked for his behavior, and grew more bitter over the years, ending up as a JerkWithAHeartOfGold by the beginning of the fic.

* BreakTheCutie: The plot appears to enjoy putting Turbo through every misery it can get away with.

* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: Turbo appears to die at the same time King Candy does.]]
** [[spoiler: Though it should be noted that this mostly comes from Turbo ''assuming'' that he's dying, since the fic is written from his perspective. The other characters don't necessarily think he's DOA; in fact, in the rewrite, they flat-out state that he never stopped breathing.]]

* EnemyWithin: [[spoiler:The malware, to Turbo.]]

* MoodWhiplash: Vanellope helps Turbo get his glitching under control, she reteaches him to drive, at long last, brings him to the track for the Roster Race. It's a cheerful scene, Turbo is nervous but excited...and then he pays his racing fee.

* ShapeshifterSwanSong: Invoked [[spoiler: when Turbo imagines the King Candy malware is trying to change form to avoid falling to his doom.]]
** Also played straight when Turbo is finally told what happened ''after'' he stopped being King Candy. [[spoiler: Apparently, he and the malware survived and took over ''another'' game, and our heroes went to stop him. Near the end of the battle, King Candy kept switching between that form, the new character, and...the ''real'' Turbo. It was the sight of a younger, more vulnerable and scared Turbo that made Vanellope want to help him and rewrite his code.]]
*** The {{Retool}}'s version of this scene is slightly different [[spoiler: due to the Elvira subplot being removed]] but still fits the trope.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: ZigZagged. Turbo's programmed age is ''fifteen,'' much to everyone's shock, and he ''does'' in fact look that age normally, but you wouldn't know that [[spoiler:after all the modifications he'd performed on his own design to use the King Candy skin]].

* Several chararacters repeat the line "Glitches can't leave their games" until it takes on a whole new meaning.

* TalkingToThemself: Happens to Turbo whenever [[spoiler: he speaks to King Candy/the malware, whose voice is only audible to Turbo. The most notable instances are during the confrontation on the Rainbow Bridge, and right before they split apart.]

* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler: The malware. Trying to shove Vanellope off the bridge while controlling Turbo, throwing Turbo around like a rag doll after getting its own body, and then trying to strangle Turbo to death with its bare hands. And that's only ''after'' it spent years driving Turbo insane and causing him emotional pain during the fic.]]

* MindVirus: Apparently [[spoiler:the malware]] works like this; [[spoiler:it used Turbo's own post-RoadBlasters bitterness to manipulate him and convince him to take more...''direct'' action.]]

* HearingVoices: Turbo keeps hearing someone giggling and whispering in his head. [[spoiler: It turns out to be the remnants of King Candy...or rather, the malware.]]

* AffectionateNickname/InsultOfEndearment: "Vanny" and "Bo" are the nicknames, "Glitter-Graphics" and "Pajama Boy" are the insults.

* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler: The malware. Trying to shove Vanellope off the bridge while controlling Turbo, throwing Turbo around like a rag doll after getting its own body, and then trying to strangle Turbo to death with its bare hands.

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Even before he game-jumped, Turbo wasn't well-liked by the others in the arcade...mostly because of his appearance.

* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler: The malware. When it was inside Turbo, it amplified the worst parts of his personality, but he still had some good deep inside of him. Once it gets its own body, it's literally left all redeeming features behind.]]

* ReTool: The revised version of the fic is this.

*** The ReTool's version of this scene is slightly different [[spoiler: due to the Elvira subplot being removed]] but still fits the trope.
* {{Synchronization}}: [[spoiler: Since the malware is attached to Turbo's code, Felix speculates that deleting it would probably lead to both dying. This ultimately leads to the DisneyDeath.]]
