History FanFic / Fargo

** Sloan's finisher move requires the sun, courtesy of her machine gun firing [[HardLight literal light]], and is for all intends and purposes, just her normal attack on steroids. A metric ton of steroids. Her turret's barrel supercharges with solar energy and then unleashes an unholy amount of light bullet rounds it looks like a blinding solar flare from afar. Looks like MoreDakka is indeed effective at getting rid of FinalBoss-level Wraiths.

* SuperSpecialMove: Erika's [[FinishingMove finisher]], "Borrasque Denouement", has her clone herself to the point of filling a massive cavern to the brim and then perform her usual katana wind slash. This results in a gale so potent it could be considered a force of nature. Each Erika copy is made of wind and imbued with Erika's soul, so they have all of her expertise wielding a katana. With this, she's able to shred through the ArcVillain's defenses.

* WretchedHive: Williston, and not entirely because of the wraith infestation. The girls discover a man hanging from a noose in the closet of their hotel room, a majority of the city's populace live in tents in an abandoned airplane hangar, and during the trek back to the inn in Chapter 13 Sloan and Delaney pass a bus that's selling women like merchandise.

In the snowy flatlands of the American Midwest, [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]], [[TheCynic jaded]] Sloan Redfearn resides in [[TitleDrop Fargo]], North Dakota as its resident magical girl. It wasn't always this way, however- seven months prior, Sloan was the head girl of the "Minneapolis Seven" (A loose team of magical girls that protect the Twin Cities area in Minnesota) before being ousted by her [[TheStarscream treacherous second-in-command]] and OnlyFriend, Clair Ibsen. Now, Sloan lives alone in Fargo, nursing a grudge towards her former friend, while her Soul Gem grows darker and darker every day thanks to the slim wraith pickings in the city. When Kyubey offers her a unique opportunity- travel to nearby Williston and quell a wraith infestation that has recently sprung up- Sloan [[JumpedAtTheCall jumps at the chance]] to recharge her Soul Gem and seek revenge on Clair.

When she gets there, the situation immediately begins to grow complicated. Sloan has unexpected teammates to collaborate with in the wraith hunt- [[CuteAndPsycho cheerful but sociopathic]] Delaney Pollack, [[AloofDarkHairedGirl bitter and obstinate]] Erika Dufresne, and "Omaha", a mysterious WildCard who appears and vanishes at will and knows a lot more than she's letting on. The plot thickens as tensions between the girls rise and an AncientConspiracy that threatens to topple the magical girl system begins to gradually trickle in through the cracks- and for reasons unknown to her, Sloan is at the very center of it.

** Delaney's dress gets positively ''shredded'' courtesy of her numerous injuries during the Abraxas battle, by the end it's little more than rags.

* FiveManBand: The Minneapolis Seven (sans Ramsey) form this trope:
** BigBad: Clair. TheLeader and the one [[TheChessmaster orchestrating the events]] that led up to her war with Sloan.
** TheDragon: St. Paul. Clair's most loyal underling and the most powerful member of the group.
** TheEvilGenius: Hennepin. The smartest member of the team other than Clair herself, and the only member that seems to really put any thought into strategizing.
** TheBrute: Bloomington. The second-most powerful member behind St. Paul, but not useful for much other than fighting.
** TheDarkChick: Woodbury. TheHeart and TokenGoodTeammate of the group.
** SixthRangerTraitor: Anoka. The NewMeat of the group, she's also the least involved in the war with Sloan and Delaney.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11228999/1/Fargo Fargo]]'' is an ambitious ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' fic that introduces a CastHerd of OCs and details the fallout of ''Rebellion''. Notable features include its fast-moving story, [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters large, well-developed cast]], and [[KudzuPlot increasingly-complex plot]]. As of now, the story is complete at 43 chapters (and a credits page).

* AdultFear: As outlined in MinorLivingAlone below, most magical girls live by themselves, isolated from their parents and family. One wonders how many parents around the world suddenly woke up one day to find their little girl gone.

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Bloomington and Woodbury, loath as the former is to admit it. While [[PunchClockVillain not particularly evil]], they work for the antagonistic Claire and are almost always together, and [[spoiler: Bloomington goes off the deep end in a major way after Woodbury's death]].

* BigBad: Homura and the Incubators as a BigBadDuumvirate. They operate and perpetuate the MagicalGirl system, and as a result are the ultimate villains behind all or at least most of the story's happenings. [[EvilVsEvil They also hate each other with a passion]], [[spoiler: and much of the plot of Arc 2 serves as the arguable backdrop for their CosmicChessGame over who will remain in control over the magical girl system.]]
