History FanFic / TopDog

The stories share the experience of seeing familiar settings [[AlternateUniverseFic folded, spindled and mutilated]] to make their host canons fit the quasi-GrimDark universal structure. It's very good writing, and a novel concept carried off well. The author cites Fanfic/UndocumentedFeatures as an inspiration, but instead of the AuthorAvatar [[OriginalCharacter Original Characters]] that make up the core cast of UF, he uses the protagonists from whatever work he's fitting into Top Dog at the moment. There are also minor crossovers, references and {{Shout Out}}s to ''everywhere''; a list would be long, but includes at least Franchise/StarWars, Franchise/StarTrek, ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'', Literature/{{Discworld}}, Webcomic/GirlGenius, Film/TheMatrix, Creator/DavidWeber, ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'', Anime/TenchiMuyo, Franchise/{{Dune}}, Series/BabylonFive, ComicBook/{{Asterix}}, the Franchise/CthulhuMythos, Franchise/SailorMoon, and {{Transformers}} along with, of course, the three core continuities.

* FixedForwardFacingWeapon: The most powerful weapon on most spaceships is the keelgun. Unusually, it's not generally a WaveMotionGun but a [[KineticWeaponsAreJustBetter Kinetic Weapon]]. Taken UpToEleven with the League's headquarters, which is technically a ship (though it's more like a space station) and whose keelgun fires a shell a kilometer across.

* {{Hammerspace}}, and, more specifically, HyperspaceArsenal: Naruto has his storage seal, and the Amazons of Joketsuzo have their "Way of Hidden Weapons". It's even explicitly referred to as hammerspace, for the tendency of unpracticed users to pull hammers out of it instead of whatever they put in. An Amazon using the technique is able to pull a four-foot sniper rifle out of her sleeve, then stuff it back into [[VictoriasSecretCompartment her cleavage]], and comments that the room she's in is unlikely to be able to hold all the concealed weapons she's carrying. Taken UpToEleven when the current master of the art stuffs an autorickshaw into his coat.

* NoodleIncident: The Trebuchet Incident in Biker, originally, though you get a few more details as to what actually happened later. It involved a trebuchet ([[CaptainObvious duh]]), the principal's car, and apparently some form of dessert.

* ShoutOut: [[CaptainObvious Well, yeah.]] At least half the sources referenced pull in only a single ShoutOut rather than any more significant contribution.

* ''A Fox in Tokyo'', which is {{Naruto}} in a Konohagakure that lives under the surface of Soun Tendo's Nerima. Naruto Shinra Namikaze, known as Uzumaki, grew up under constant ANBU guard against those who would have killed him for hosting the Kyuubi. Having been essentially raised by his special-forces guardians, in particular one ANBU Hound with white hair and one odd eye, he graduates the Konoha Ninja Academy to find a familiar face waiting as his sensei.

** The other examples of Omega Weapons given in the comment thread were Omega One (God Almighty, and that gives you the kind of scale this list operates on), what would be Omega Two if her existence were publicly known ([[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Dawn Summers/The Key]], in this setting described to be "a living space/time occilation bomb with enough oomph to frappe entire universes", and the officially listed Omega Four (the [[SailorMoon Silver Imperium Crystal]]).
