History FanFic / GundamSeedBloodlines

* AssholeVictim: In retrospect, [[spoiler:Dorothy Eliarez]] was one.

* CurbStompBattle: Chapter 47.

* LiteralMinded: [[spoiler: Stellar.]]

* ReforgedIntoAMinion: [[spoiler:Murrue's]] fate

* SarcasmBlind: [[spoiler:Stellar.]]
* SequelHook: Chapter 89 serves this purpose.

* SympatheticMurderer: [[spoiler:Tolle]]

* ObligatoryWarCrimeScene: The POW massacre in chapter 61 shows Cagalli that Zala's ZAFT is as bad as Blue Cosmos. [[spoiler:She is a ZAFT pilot at this point and joined them because she thought that they are the lesser evil.]]

* TheMainCharactersDoEverything: While [[NumberTwo Natarle's]] involvment in [[spoiler:Cagalli's rescue from Blue Cosmos]] can be justified by her (heavly implied) spec ops background, the same can not be said from [[spoiler:Murrue leading a boarding party into [[IslandBase a Blue Cosmos base]]]]. [[RealityEnsues It ends badly]] for [[spoiler:her]].

* TrickBoss: A non-videogame example, when Cagalli fights [[spoiler: Asta in]] the Providence during the final battle. Cagalli is far more concerned with [[IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight convincing the pilot]] [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath to stop fighting]]. [[spoiler: Asta pulls a StrikeMeDownWithAllYourHatred moment on Cagalli, and the Providence is destroyed with a shot by Dearka. It's then revealed that the Providence was being remote controlled. Asta is actually piloting the machine found on Jupiter ([[ChekhovsGun first mentioned forty chapters ago]]). It's name? ''The Turn X Gundam'']].

* AmbiguouslyEvil: Durandal

''Gundam Seed: Bloodlines'' is an Alternate Universe take on ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeed'' in which Kira and Cagalli's places are reversed - Cagalli is a coordinator living on Heliopolis, while Kira is the prince of Orb. When ZAFT attacks Heliopolis, Cagalli is reluctantly forced into the role of the Strike Gundam's pilot.

!''Gundam SEED: Bloodlines'' contains examples of the following tropes:

* ActionGirl: Cagalli, even moreso than in the original series.
** The author seems to love this trope considering how many characters of this type belongs to the cast.

* CrossOver: In chapter 79, [[spoiler: [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Feldt Grace]] is revived from cryostasis]]

** Chapter 86. The big secret of the Cosmic Era is finally explained. [[spoiler: The Ultimate Coordinator was created for the purpose of piloting a mobile suit George Glenn found at Jupiter: The [[Anime/TurnAGundam Turn X]]. And this machine is responsible for the destruction of the [[Anime/Gundam00 Anno Domini era and the innovative society]].]]

** Chapter 86: [[spoiler: Asta]] quotes Creator/HPLovecraft. Anyone familiar with the ''Gundam'' franchise will know the significance of the line. [[spoiler: It's the same quote [[JustForFun/NotableReferencesToTVTropes This Very Wiki]] uses as the page quote for TurnAGundam.]]

* AdaptationalVillainy: Somehow Azrael manages to be even MORE vile here then in canon. In addition to his OTHER atrocities he revives Murrue Ramius and then brainwashes her into being his new commander....as well as his lover. Yeah.......

* FinalBoss: Shockingly it's NOT Rau, who dies in Mendel. Asta takes his spot with the Turn X

* {{Imprinting}}: [[spoiler: the Extended do this. After her original "mother" dies, Cagalli has to get Stellar to imprint on her.]]

* TraumaCongaLine: Asta undergoes one during the story; she's got crippling health problems, her kid brother is killed, she's forced to fight alongside her brother's killer and then she learns the horrific truth behind her origins (she was the FlawedPrototype to her arch enemy) AND to cap it all off Rau plays an edited version of her mother's confrontation with Dr Hibiki in which Ezalia says that she'd be better off dead. No wonder she snaps in the end.

* ShoutOut: Waltfeld's conspiracy theories claim there was an "[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 innovative society]]" in the past.
** MythologyGag: This is a reference to one of the author's previous fics, ''Gundam SEED Kismet''.
** [[spoiler: Feldt Grace]] in Chapter 80: [[PlanetOfTheApes "Oh my god. You really did it. You blew it up. Damn you! Damn you all to hell!"]]
