History FanFic / ThereWillBeMusicDespiteEverything

* BadassBoast: [[spoiler:"Which one of us managed to [[Film/ThePhantomMenace navigate his way through a warzone in a ship he had no experience with at nine?]] Because this is almost exactly like that." Subverted when RealityEnsues and Anakin causes a significant amount of damage.]]

* {{Adorkable}}: Anakin, especially when talking to someone he likes.

* ChekhovsGunman: ''like lifting stars'' mentions [[{{Comics/Daredevil}} Kirsten McDuffie]] and [[Comics/TheMightyThor Roz Solomon]]. ''[[ADayInTheLimelight your song's no good 'round here]]'' reveals that Roz is a SHIELD agent while ''and you count clouds'' reveals [[spoiler:that Kirsten has started working for Padmé Amidala.]]

* ForgotAboutHisPowers: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in Anakin's case, considering the LaserGuidedAmnesia. [[spoiler:Later stories get rid of this trope, as it's mentioned Anakin occasionally [[MundaneUtility uses the Force to make his food float, leaving his hands free]].]]

* IronicEcho: Deliberately [[InvokedTrope invoked]] by Loki to annoy Anakin on the way to meet Malekith.

* LoveObstructingParents: As in canon, Odin serves as this. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], though, considering that the object of Thor's affections is ''Darth Vader''.

* MyFistForgivesYou: [[spoiler:Anakin and Obi-wan exchange one round of punches before they're back to snarking at each other during the final act of ''bring only what you must carry''. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in the next story, as they blow up at each other first before either of them can really start to forgive each other.]]

* NoHeroToHisValet: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]], but the fact that Dr. John Foster is a well-known astronomer and Darth Vader is ''the'' most iconic villain in cinema does not quite occur to Darcy, whose first meeting with Anakin began when she barged in on him taking a nap in an empty classroom.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Darcy expresses concern for Anakin during the build-up to [[Film/ThorTheDarkWorld the final battle with Malekith]] because of his sudden lack of enthusiasm for moving from one world to another. [[spoiler:[[JustifiedTrope Justified]] because his memory just returned a day or so ago.]]

* RunningGag: TheSpiceGirls' "Wannabe" serves as Anakin's ringtone, much to his annoyance.

* BiTheWay: Anakin falls in love with Thor and is mentioned to have had a relationship with a [[MythologyGag Dr. Blake]]. On the other hand, Darcy is shown going on a date with Ian, but [[spoiler: that goes nowhere and instead, [[OfficialCouple she ends up with Ahsoka Tano]].]] Also counts as AdaptationalSexuality for both of them.
** [[Film/RogueOne Jyn Erso]] is also bisexual, going by her claim to be [[FriendsWithBenefits sex friends]] with Sharon Carter.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Anakin towards Darcy. Later, he takes this role back up for Ahsoka as well.
** Leads to a funny line when Ahsoka and Darcy are on the verge of a RelationshipUpgrade:
---> Oh, god, if this turns out like Lux, [Anakin]’s not sure who he’s going to eviscerate. Maybe himself for introducing them.

* CastFullOfGay: Anakin, Thor, Ahsoka, Darcy and Jyn are, at the very least, [[BiTheWay bisexual]]. Chirrut and Baze are implied to also be in a committed relationship.

* ActionGirl: Ahsoka Tano and Lady Sif, natch. How good is Sif? [[spoiler:[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome She beats Anakin Skywalker in a sparring match]].]]

* OneOfUs: Darcy Lewis is the biggest example, asking Anakin if she could have become a Jedi [[spoiler:and taking home a manual meant for the Jedi.]] Selvig, however, mentions having seen the originals in cinemas. On the other side, Anakin himself is, ironically, a ''StarTrek'' fan.

* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: After four straight stories focusing on Anakin, Thor and co., the series cuts to the RogueOne crew, revealed to be working as a strike team in SHIELD, during ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier''.

** [[RogueOne Jyn Erso]] is also bisexual, going by her claim to be [[FriendsWithBenefits sex friends]] with Sharon Carter.

* ADayInTheLimelight: The [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier Winter Soldier]] events are told from the perspectives of the RogueOne team, and there is very little mention made of the previous fics.

* InSpiteOfANail: ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'' goes much the same way even with the addition of the RogueOne team. However, a notable change happens in that [[spoiler:instead of Sam, Cassian fights Rumlow near the end.]]

* WillTheyOrWontThey: One of the tags on the RogueOne team's [[ADayInTheLimelight spotlight fic]] reads: "cassian and jyn are the most 'will they or won't they' couple of all time". True to form, near the end of the fic, there's a moment of ShipTease once the action has passed.

* TheCameo: Jyn and Cassian show up in the fic's version of ''ThorTheDarkWorld'' on an undercover mission. This later leads into their [[AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent spotlight fic]].

* InternalReveal: Anakin's true identity is hidden from himself, Darcy, and Dr. Selvig, up until the events of ''ThorTheDarkWorld'' happen.

* WhamEpisode: The fic's version of ''ThorTheDarkWorld''. [[spoiler:Ahsoka shows up, Anakin remembers, Obi-Wan is revealed to be running a cafe in Greenwich, and Anakin tells Darcy and Selvig who he is.]]

* InSpiteOfANail: ''CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'' goes much the same way even with the addition of the RogueOne team. However, a notable change happens in that [[spoiler:instead of Sam, Cassian fights Rumlow near the end.]]

* ADayInTheLimelight: The [[CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier Winter Soldier]] events are told from the perspectives of the RogueOne team, and there is very little mention made of the previous fics.

* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: After four straight stories focusing on Anakin, Thor and co., the series cuts to the RogueOne crew, revealed to be working as a strike team in SHIELD, during ''CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier''.
