* 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.

*BittersweetEnding: Both ''Thor'' movies end this way.
** The 'verse's version of the first movie ends with Anakin and Thor separating for two years, but now Anakin has been reassured of his research's importance, Selvig is a SkepticNoLonger, and SHIELD has returned all their research and equipment. To top it off, there's a FlashForward that reveals Anakin and Thor's status as AmicableExes, implying that their relationship will not last beyond the second movie.
** The second movie ends with [[spoiler:Anakin and Thor broken up, Anakin's memory returned, Greenwich University in ruins, and Darcy and Selvig worried over Anakin after his final words to them, as well as Frigga in a coma and Loki on the throne of Asgard under the guise of Odin. However, Ahsoka and Darcy have undergone a RelationshipUpgrade, Thor decides to stay on Earth, Selvig has seemingly mostly recovered, and Anakin, much like canon's Jane Foster, finds himself one of the most sought-after astronomers on Earth.]]

* NoodleIncident: Anakin is involved in plenty of these, most of them embarrassing. Apparently, while amnesiac, he flirted with [[HoYay Obi-Wan Kenobi]] and [[ShipsPassingInTheNight Cassian]] [[NoYay Andor]], and also streaked through the campus to impress an exchange student. Darcy also brings up an incident with Dr. Blake that starts with Anakin spraining his wrist to talk to him and ends with Darcy walking in on both of them.

The long answer: unlike his beloved wife Padm&ecute; Amidala, Anakin ends up getting hit with a case of LaserGuidedAmnesia via car accident, and ends up going through college and obtaining a degree, all without realizing his identity. Years after the accident, he takes on an intern named Darcy Lewis, and they head to New Mexico for [[TemptingFate what is sure to be a boring few months collecting data]].
