It Always Starts With One... Right?
is a fanfic on Sufficient Velocity by Grounders10 and is a Commander Self-Insert.
Waking up to find himself a Progenitor Commander without a ... well, Commander Chasis, our hero is now forced to figure out how to get out of the facility he now exists as, then attempt to get back home.
- Alternate Universe: The version of KanColle that Resolute ends up in has at least one divergence from canon: the various besieged nations of the world were able to also summon airship girls in addition to regular ship girls.
- Alternate Universe Fic: Due to Resolute's actions, Palpatine dies and Anakin never falls. Unfortunately, with no reason to hold back, Dooku massively escalates the war, which lasts far longer than it did in canon.
- Big Bad: For each universe that Resolute has visited:
- Big Eater: Resolute in KanColle, going through an absolutely massive amount of food in one sitting. In an Omake where Yularan, Anakin, Obi-Wan and the 501st end up as her fairies, Yularan is shocked to see her eat enough food to keep the 501st full for a month in one meal.
Apparently, the quartermasters cried when they saw this. - Curb-Stomp Battle: Understandably, this is how things play out between Resolute and the Abyssals.
- Gender Bender: Grounder aka Resolute undergoes this when s/he arrives in KanColle.
- Oh, Crap!: When an Abyssal Gozanti Cruiser sees Resolute, she reacts with what can best be described as uncontrollable terror and immediately tries to disengage from the battle. Resolute frags her before she gets to the far side of the island.
- Schrödinger's Canon: While Resolute is in the Star Wars universe, they notice that, while most of the story matches up with the Disney canon, Malachor V seems to remain how it was in Legends — well, except for being destroyed millennia before the Clone Wars.
- Villain Respect: Inverted Trope — after Resolute poisons Palpatine so that he goes on a rampage against the senate, outing himself as a Sith, he notes that, despite being poisoned, Palpatine was still able to hide that Darth Tyrannus is Dooku.
- Wham Episode: The Final Star Wars Log: Resolute is killed during the battle of Malachor V.
