"Life After Hayate" is a Franchise/LyricalNanoha ForWantOfANail story by @/{{Night}}.

* BattleCouple: A Harlaown family tradition, and taken deadly serious. You're not acceptable dating material for a Harlaown unless you've partnered with them in combat. The phrasing is intentional, because "fought alongside" is not necessarily required; Amy Linetta was considered acceptable for Chrono because she had been his "angel on the shoulder" as ''Arthra'''s combat controller, while Lindy was bridge crew to Clyde.

* AlternateUniverseFic: Rather than Nanoha being injured between A's and Striker S, Hayate is killed; she gives the Wolkenritter to Chrono before she dies, though exactly ''why'' she does so is something Hayate does not have time to express to anyone. It's possible Reinforce Zwei knows, but only guesses have been voiced on the subject by the characters.

* RevealingCoverup: Altering the mission reports surrounding Hayate Yagami's death turns the incident from merely suspicious into actual proof that something very wrong has happened. Vita even mocks the decision.

* TheConspiracy: The Bureau Council/Jail Scaligetti/Regius Gaiz team-up that [[NanohaStrikerS StrikerS]] only hinted at is in full effect here, though its public face in the story so far is Auris Gaiz, who is haplessly trying to get a look at Hayate's personal possessions.

* AlternateUniverseFic: Rather than Nanoha being injured between A's and Striker S, Hayate is killed; she gives the Wolkenritter to Chrono, apparently reasoning that they needed someone to ensure they successfully finished resocializing. (Though her exact reasoning isn't clear.)

* ChekhovsGun: The starship ''Morrigan'' is mentioned as orbiting Quagmire during ''Quirks and Jerks'' but is on her shakedown cruise and not considered combat ready; ''Arc En Ciel'' reveals that Quagmire is the Bureau's storage facility for Arc-en-Ciel equipment, and ''Morrigan'' was there to be fitted with an Arc to testing.

* DreamTeam: We have the Wolkenritter in their prime to do the heavy lifting, and the series' resident innovative genius Chrono Harlaown to command them. When Jail' s cyborgs directly engage them, even though they manage to badly injure Chrono, only one of them escapes without losing a limb or ''having their face burned off''.

Hayate Yagami was there instead, and wounded far more badly. By the time help reached her, it was already too late. But her children, her Wolkenritter, still new to a life of kindness and relative freedom, would not die with her. She would not allow it. And so with her dying breath, she gave them and the Book of the Night Sky to another.
