History FanFic / ShadowchasersSeries

Shadowchasers is a series of ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' fics (mostly set in ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'') created by Creator/CyberCommander, a.k.a 0ccam's Razor.

** Another example does not involve the Shadowchasers, but St. Cuthbert's House, a charity organization that Nichole belongs to, and involves a mistake that St. Cuthbert, the Shadow-exclusive deity that they follow, admits to. [[spoiler:According to legend, eons ago, Cuthbert was an advisor to the powers of Law, and he argued vehemently in support of the Pact Primodial, the document that would put Lucifer in charge of punishing sinners in the afterlife. His voice was one of the biggest reasons for the document being approved. However, Cuthbert would regret his decision years later, and forever after, when it became apparent that the Prince of Darkness was exploiting loopholes in the document to ''encourage'' evil among mortals and increase his personal power, which he still does to this day. Cuthbert shifted from LawfulNeutral to LawfulGood as a result, and his dogma became one of retribution against evil.]]

* SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains: This is the case across the board. The most revealing outfit a female Shadowchaser has willingly worn is one that fits a BareYourMidriff Trope. Female villains, on the other hand, tend to lack modesty, constantly dressing in halters, short skirts, and lingerie in one case. Lorelei actually seems to ''enjoy'' playing the part of a slut in the scantily-clad costume that appears when she shows her true nature as a cambion. Justified for villains who are Shadowkind that specialize in seducing their victims using their looks.

** Athentia was a sphinx-like creature of godlike power, who acted as an oracle, but demanded a terrible price - she would inflict any mortal who sought her advice with her conundrum curse as "punishment" for seeking her out, which would place a perplexing riddle in his head making it impossible for him to do ''anything'' until he solved it. If he did, [[CurseEscapeClause he would be worthy of the advice she gave him]]; otherwise, he would starve. Jalal's father defeated her in a [[RiddleMeThis game of riddles]] to gain immortality, which was later passed to Jalal. In the climax of the first fic, [[spoiler: Athentia's daughter revealed that Athentia and her mate were servants of the Light of Ruin.]]

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: There's at least 30 or more named characters in one story. Combine that with the rest of Occam Razor's Shadowchaser stories and the other spin-off stories from other authors and the numbers add up to ''hundreds''.

* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: Quite a few are revealed throughout the stories. It's revealed in [[Fanfic/{{Shadowchasers}} the original fic]] that Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Edison were aided in their experiments by gremlins and that many of Mozart's contemporaries were vampires. Later, in ''Torment'' it is revealed that Henry VIII was an ImmortalitySeeker who tried to convince Jalal to reveal the secret, and in ''Ascension'', it's revealed that the Old North Church in Boston was chosen for its unique location to house a portal to the holy shrine of Tabjari. ''Backwater'' has an odd variation, where a doll golem reveals that Franchise/TheMuppets are also doll golems.
