History FanFic / NoChanceForFate

* ApocalypseHow: Right in the first chapter, Pluto reveals a triple whammy. After the Black Moon Crisis, Usagi got the [[WhatAnIdiot crazy idea]] to destroy all evil in man's hearts, resulting in obedient drones with no drive to reproduce, essentially a planet-wide SterilityPlague. Then, once most of mankind had already died out, they decided to overload the Silver Crystal to force an EarthShatteringKaboom to end their misery. Too bad that by-now clinically depressed Hotaru decided right then it's ''her'' job to put them out of their misery and points down the Silence Glaive... Little wonder Pluto never wants this future to happen again.

* WeaponOfChoice: Each of the Senshi gains a personal weapon, fitting their character and/or powers.

* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: After Genma proves to his wife Nodoka that he changed to a better person and is no longer a lout, he is allowed back into their marital bed. He's a lot better in performing his marital duties with his wife than expected, as [[spoiler: Ranma's new younger sister is proof of]].

* TrainingFromHell: The Senshi certainly think that what they're being put through by Khu-Lon is this. Played straight with Ranma, though, even after the trip. Happosai's treatment of Soun and Genma takes this UpToEleven.

* {{Meganekko}}: Ranma prefers that Ami not be this, as seeing her wearing glasses unsettles him for some reason. Note that Ami only needs to wear her glasses to read very small print.

* PantyShot: At the jewelry store Ranma thinks that Sailor Moon has flashed him about a dozen times during the fight. The other Senshi later complain about this to Pluto, who comments that it's the fault of a "pervert, hardcore lesbian".

->'''''Ami''': "Ranma, what was the last thing you learned in your first high school year?" ''
->'''''Ranma''': "What high school year? You should know my Pop. Haven't seen a school from inside for over a year now after finishing middle school." ''
->'''''Ami''': "Oh my!" (thinking: Houston, we have a problem...) ''

!! This fanfic provides examples of:

* AdultFear: While the parents who are in the know understand what's at stake, they nonetheless worry for the children's academic futures, since they know heroics alone won't pay off.
** Nodoka witnessing Ranma getting hit by a truck is certainly this.
** Minako's parents give in to the fear when learning that their daughter does heroics and the fallout is nasty.

---> '''[[spoiler: Nephrite]]:''' I'm trying to get myself to spit on her corpse, but I can't. I even feel sad for her, strange as it sounds.

* OrcusOnHisThrone: Her throne. Beryl doesn't do much herself, but her generals are generally more involved. Later subverted when [[spoiler: she oversees the capture of the Silver Crystal personally to make sure nothing will go wrong.]] She also [[spoiler: takes it upon herself to lead the charge into Elysion]].

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair:
** Shampoo is one of the only people to have this, as Akane and Ami have been changed to black.
*** Although Ami and her mother ''do'' have blue highlights when the light hits it right, so not ''entirely'' averted.
** The author actually made it a point to explain hair colors that are unusual for Japan.
*** Usagi, Minako, and Michiru have harmless genetic glitches to cause this. Michiru's really unusual color actually made her a target for bullying.
*** Girl-Ranma and Naru got their red hair from their mothers, whose ancestry has foreigners mixed in. Haruka is such a case as well, much to the shame of her family.
*** Pluto's green hair is not natural. It's the result of the [[PowerDyesYourHair strong magic she's been using for so long]].

* FukuFic: A {{Deconstruction}} of one.

* YouNeedToGetLaid: This is one of Setsuna's first thoughts for herself after she finally escapes the time loop to 1980.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Happens many times thoughout the story. It's now got its own [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome/NoChanceForFate page]].

* NoPeriodsPeriod: Ranma's first, especially since s/he didn't know the birds and the bees, scared the crud out of him. Later on they also have to take Ami's periods into account during their "activities".

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Happens many times thoughout the story. It's now got its own [[RealityEnsues/NoChanceForFate page]].

** Averted for the Senshi in committed relationships; despite becoming more active, [[RealityEnsues they're still high school students after all]] and take appropriate measures. Even after knowing that [[spoiler: Chibi-Usa's soul is waiting for her parents to conceive her so she can be reborn]], Usagi and Mamoru are in no hurry.

* RealityEnsues: Happens many times thoughout the story. It's now got its own [[RealityEnsues/NoChanceForFate page]].

* ScareEmStraight: A ''very'' reluctant Pluto gets forced to use what she describes as the extreme measure of using her power to show Ryoga what would happen if he actually killed Ranma; the [[RealityEnsues realization that society]] would see him as a dangerous stalker who violently killed someone in his way and put him on DeathRow no matter what kind of Hell he'd seen made him realize that vengeance just ain't worth it. It was all obviously just an illusion, but Pluto's explanation to Ryoga was that it all actually happened and she was forced to pull him out of a [[BadFuture very bad timeline]].

* ExiledToTheCouch: Genma is not allowed to go into the master bedroom, although he notes he's making progress to get back there. [[spoiler: His actions in Chapter 22 finally convince Nodoka to lift the punishment and she now expects

* ExiledToTheCouch: Genma is not allowed to go into the master bedroom, although he notes he's making progress to get back there. [[spoiler: His actions in Chapter 22 finally convince Nodoka to lift the punishment and she now expects him to fulfill his husband duties... which he does better than she'd expected.]]
* FamousLastWords: While he might not be gone for good, Nephrite gets off a satisfying speech [[spoiler: to Beryl]] before he goes.
--> '''Nephrite:''' [[spoiler: LONG LIVE ENDYMION!]]
* {{Filler}}: Mostly averted. Every encounter is in some way plot-relevant, and there are no random monster attacks; they're all planned out well ahead of time by the baddies.
* {{Flanderization}}: The author does his best to avoid this, keeping everyone well-rounded and developing.

* TheOneTrueSequence: The Rainbow Crystals.

* ApocalypseHow: Right in the first chapter, Pluto reveals a triple whammy. [[spoiler: After the Black Moon Crisis, Usagi got the [[WhatAnIdiot crazy idea]] to destroy all evil in man's hearts, resulting in obedient drones with no drive to reproduce, essentially a planet-wide SterilityPlague. Then, once most of mankind had already died out, they decided to overload the Silver Crystal to force an EarthShatteringKaboom to end their misery. Too bad that by-now clinically depressed Hotaru decided right then it's ''her'' job to put them out of their misery and points down the Silence Glaive...]] Little wonder Pluto never wants this future to happen again.

* CrystalSpiresAndTogas: Deconstructed.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: After Genma proves to his wife Nodoka that he changed to a better person and is no longer a lout, he is allowed back into their marital bed. He's a lot better in performing his marital duties with his wife than expected.

** Ukyo while under the thrall of a Youma. Her food actually ''exploded''.

* WorldOfCardboardSpeech: Each of the Senshi (and Ranma and Endymion) give one of these as part of the ritual to [[spoiler: destroy Pharaoh 90]].

** Usagi's nickname "Bunny" is based off her name in the {{Creator/Tokyopop}} English translation, although that was actually an unintentional side-effect. The true reason is, that the author is German, and Usagi's name in in German version is "Bunny" (which was done to keep all the rabbit jokes).
** Naru's big fear is, that her friends forget her and she is left behind in obscurity. The author admitted this was done as a comment how poorly Naru fared in all canon sources, where in all she did fade from the story after some time.

** Averted with Ranma, Akane, Genma, Nodoka and Xian-Pu.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Go look at what Kuno says [[spoiler: that finally makes Akane snap in chapter 4]].

* TokyoIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse: justified early in the story: the dark kingdom detected the general location of the silver crystal in tokyo and syched their teleportation onto that area using their very limeted energy reserves at the time, making teleporting to other locations impossible as they simply didnt have the energy to do it. its then Averted by Jadeite after his first major victory, securing enough energy to allow the dark kingdom much greater freedom of movement, when he realizes that it's easy to keep the Senshi from interfering with his collection of human energy doing it subtly, which was how his first victory was achieved, or by simply doing it in another city, in another country. Since they're teenagers, they can't really get to Moscow in a heartbeat, and even if they could, they don't have the intelligence network in place to know that they would even need to ''go'' to Moscow.

The author has also written ''[[Fanfic/GoingAnotherWay Going Another Way]]'' and ''[[FanFic/TheChosenSix The Chosen Six]]''.

** Ranma himself has this when he senses the energy of an entire city’s population being drained, his disciple being the only thing keeping him from [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness screaming in terror.]]
