History FanFic / ToHellAndBackArrowverse

* KickTheSonOfABitch: It's not a good omen for [[spoiler:Tommy]] that he now officially has a kill count, but [[spoiler:Talia]] couldn't have been a more deserving first kill.

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/12961884 To Hell and Back]]'' is an Series/{{Arrowverse}} FanFic by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1636009/Nyame Nyame]]. It is also available on [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12762758/1/To-Hell-and-Back FanFiction.net]]. There is an official Tumblr blog located [[https://thabarrowverse.tumblr.com/ here]], where the author makes announcements for new chapters and contests.

* PragmaticVillainy: [[spoiler:The younger version of Eobard Thawne is smart enough to go back to his time as soon as he has what he came for - he's found the Flash's identity, and now he can safely head back to plan his next move. Unfortunately for him, he didn't account for a pissed off Eddie managing to break free of his cuffs]].

* [[IHaveYourWife I Have Your Son]]: [[spoiler:Talia has Tommy train with her in order to force Malcolm into compliance, keeping him under an ImpliedDeathThreat unless Malcolm tells her about the Lazarus Pit he found]].

** A PlayedForLaughs example: Eobard Thawne hates the ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' series and fully agrees with the law from the future that all copies of the books must be burned.

* PopCulturalOsmosisFailure: While they weren't completely isolated from the outside world, the three main leads had no time or interest to keep up with modern pop culture, which comes up occasionally. Oliver has no idea what ''Film/HighSchoolMusical'' is, and Cisco is horrified to learn that Barry has lost out on ten years of pop culture after he fails to understand a reference to ''Literature/{{Twilight}}''.

** To ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' in Chapter 13. Cisco only read the book to stay "culturally relevant", Caitlin only read it for a bet and found it to be "the most pathetic excuse of literature [she] had ever read in [her] life", and Eobard reveals that, in the future, the movies will be banned in France and the books burned en masse in the States. Ironically, the author admits that they don't really have anything against ''Twilight'', only mocking it because it was "low-hanging fruit". They even tried to read it at one point in high school, but lost interest thanks to its BeigeProse.

* OneHundredPercentAdorationRating: Henry Allen is so respected by everyone in his prison that the guards are willing to allow him to hug his son even though his visits are not conjugal visits, and they all show support when [[spoiler:he’s released from prison]].
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Two gender inverted examples.

** Eddie has this reaction when [[spoiler:he accidentally almost gets Iris killed and the Flash captured by Reverb. It's one of the many things he struggles to deal with when he wakes up from his nine-month coma]].

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Eddie's therapist assures him that disagreeing with a friend who was trying to force their viewpoint on him is completely okay and that it makes the other person a bad friend. [[spoiler:What he doesn't realize is that Eddie ''murdered'' said friend because he wanted Eddie to turn himself in for a double homicide, and Eddie takes his therapist's words as validation that he didn't do anything wrong]]. However, [[spoiler:it's later revealed that the therapist was a younger version of Eobard Thawne manipulating Eddie for his own ends]].

** Oliver: Malcolm Merlyn/Al Sa-Her/The Dark Archer (Arc I/II), Talia al Ghul (Arc III/IV)

** Kara: General Astra In-Ze (Arc I/II), [[spoiler:The Dominators (Arc III/IV)]]

* AccidentalMurder: [[spoiler:Eddie accidentally unlocks his powers when an argument with his parents goes out of control and leads to him burning them both to death. Later on, he accidentally kills Ralph the same way when his powers act up in response to his anger]].

** [[spoiler: [[AbusiveParents Hugo and Charlene Thawne]] were murdered by Eddie in Arc V, after [[RageBreakingPoint going too far]] with their mistreatment resulted in his powers awakening]].

* MassSuperEmpoweringEvent: The Particle Accelerator Explosion [[spoiler:which is then recreated by Zoom and his forces in Arc IV by detonating the Dark Matter Collector. The second one results in Laurel, Dante, Caitlin, and Ralph all getting powers]].
