History Fanfic / TheLoreleiChronicles

If Loki and the TARDIS had a baby, you would have the main character of ''The Lorelei Chronicles'' by thewhovianwerewolf on Website/FanFictionDotNet (or, the_bisexy_whovian_werewolf on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn). The titular character, Lorelei, is stuck in a boring life with parents who are constantly at each other's throats and a school full of bullies. So when she accidentally discovers she has psychic powers that allow her to universe hop, what does she do? She enters the universes of her favorite franchises, befriends the characters, and gives herself worlds to escape to when regular life becomes too much. Meanwhile, her newfound friends have to put up with her psychic abilities and trickster personality the best they can.

One of the major themes in this series is the idea that the characters Lorelei visits don't exist because someone thought them up, but rather the opposite; the characters are the ones who influence their respective franchises. Put another way, it's like this:
->''"There is no fiction. There is only non-fiction written in the wrong universe."''
-->-- '''Welcome to Nightvale'''
Basically, a character's thoughts get transmitted into the brain of a script writer, comic book writer, or any other kind of creator in another universe, and neither the character nor the creator realize it. The character remains unaware of their existence in the other universe, and the creator just think that they've had a really good idea for a tv show/comic book/etc. If a creator is praised for said tv show/comic book/etc, what they're really being praised for is their psychic abilities. Likewise, if a creator is criticized for the tv show/comic book/etc, it's not their fault. So, if you're upset that the creator killed off your favorite character, don't blame them. They only write what really happened, even if they don't know it.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: In "Return of the Dream Lord, [[spoiler:The Doctor realizes that not only was he too hard on Lorelei, who only pranked him to try to get him to ease up, but her prank was this trope. He ends up [[ATasteofTheirOwnMedicine getting]] [[RestrainedRevenge her]] [[IronicEcho back]]]], in a sort of strange apology.

* CoveredInGunge: Lorelei douses the twelfth Doctor in chocolate sauce in an attempt to help him ease up and stop overworking himself. She expects it to work because his past incarnations always laughed at her pranks, but this is [[GrumpyBear TWELVE]] we're talking about.

One of the major themes in this series is the idea that the characters Lorelei vists don't exist because someone thought them up, but rather the opposite; the characters are the ones who influence their respective franchises. Put another way, it's like this:

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers: Lorelei's general attitude when she universe hops, much to the other characters chagrin. She figures, hey, if nothing she does is permanent, why be cautious. Subverted in ''Return of the Dreamlord'', when she really does feel bad about dousing the Doctor.

* ThePrankster: Lorelei to a T, when she visits other universes. However, she has a moral code that goes with; nothing humiliating or mean, nothing destructive, and if someone tells her to stop, she stops. Also, when she's the victim of a prank, she thinks it's as funny as any prank, as long as it follows her code.

* ThePrankster: Lorelei to a T, when she visits other universes.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: How the Doctor feels about Lorelei after she abandons him for two centuries. [[Spoiler:She had good reasons, in that she felt she no longer belonged after the Doctor started maturing in his eighth incarnation and fighting the Time War in his war incarnation. They make up in the end, though]].

She had good reasons, in that she felt she no longer belonged after the Doctor started maturing in his eighth incarnation and fighting the Time War in his war incarnation. They make up in the end, though.

* MasterOfIllusion: Pretty much sums up her skill set. Her brain has a transmitter that can send messages into other people's brains telling them to sense whatever she wants to sense, which is how she travels to other universes while still keeping her body in her universe. However, she can only do this to people in other universes since, according to the series, people in her universe lack receivers in their heads to pick up the messages.

* PollyAnna: Inverted. Lorelei's life makes her majorly depressed, which is why she chooses to leave it so often.

* {Mutant}: Lorelei, in a human sense, because of the natural receiver and transmitter in her brain. As her dog Baxter explains, every animal has them but the genes that activate them are extremely rare in humans. [[CassandraTruth Any attempts made by humans with the activated genes to tell others are mistaken for madness/schizophrenia]], and anti-psychotic medication can repress the genes.

* BatmanGambit: Lorelei does this during her magic show in "Snow Day". She tells the audience that she has a magic telescope that, instead of making far things look closer, makes the future look like it's happening now. She holds the telescope to her eye and says that she sees everyone laughing a few seconds in the future, though . Cue the EyePiecePrank and everyone ''does'' start [[SelfDeprecation laughing]].
