History Fanfic / APeacefulAfterlife

* YourJustJealous: Husk is convinced this is why Vaggie is annoyed with Charlie spending so much time with Kira. While it's definitely a factor, Vaggie is more concerned about Kira being a serial killer who fetishized his victims' hands, due to [[FreudianExcuse losing her fellow prostitute friends in life to murderous Johns while living in fear of the same happening to her]].

* YourMindMakesItReal: This is Charlie's theory about how things like addictions work in Hell. Since demons no longer have a physical body to develop dependence on things like drugs or have mental disorders, they're just acting like they still have the problems out of inertia, and they can be trained out of the habit.

* RealityEnsues:
** Kira announces at dinner that he killed 48 women ([[InferredHolocaust and 40-50 other collateral killings]]) and kept the hands as girlfriends. This doesn't come off as the shocking reveal he thought it would because everyone there is in Hell, no one is surprised. Charlie just thinks he's admitting it as part of his goal for redemption.
** Early in the story, Kira continues to maintain the quiet lifestyle he had in the living world in Hell. Keeping to himself, paying his bills, dressing like he did when he was alive, going to work, using his human name and not engaging in crimes or vices thinking it will make him as unnoticeable in death as it did in life. His neighbors find his "normal" behavior extremely abnormal because they're in Hell. He's there because he's evil and did something horrible while he was alive, but refuses to act like it, which the demons take as him saying he's better than them, which they find highly insulting.
** Charlie has Angel Dust attempt to go full cold turkey with his drug addiction. It causes him to go full-on jittery and paranoid like a real life junkie would.

-->[[spoiler: '''God Given''': Look at you! Your guts are practically hanging out! What could you possibly do?!

* WeHardlyKnewYe: Kira kills [=ZZ=] and Anubis shortly after landing in Hell.

* WorldOfCardboardSpeech: Once Charlie's pushed too far, she gives a rather ''scathing'' one to [[spoiler:God Given]] once it's clear they're beyond redemption.
-->'''Charlie:''' You think I don't know how people like you sneer behind my back? You think I don't see the contempt in your eyes? Well, I do! And you know what else? [[ShutUpHannibal I don't care!]] You can say or do whatever you want to me, because I can take it! [[DeclarationOfProtection But if you hurt my patients, if you hurt my friends?]] [[BadassBoast No force in the four planes will keep you safe from me!]]

* ParanoiaFuel: Mr. Clean. Nobody knows who he is, or how he kills people, but every so often HOLY DIVER's enemies would just disappear without a trace, not leaving even bloodstains. Once Angel Dust figures out that Kira is Mr. Clean (while Kira is being somewhat more touchy-feely than normal as a result of his spiked drink), he realizes that Kira looks [[TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse entirely normal]], and all he has to do is to touch some innocuous object like a doorknob, deliver a package, or even just brush up against a target in the street, and the targets are dead demons walking.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13268205/1/A-Peaceful-Afterlife A Peaceful Afterlife]]'' is a FusionFic of ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel'' and ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''.

* In chapter 4, Poker Face uses his power to enslave Sir Pentious to Cherri Bomb.

* ShoutOut: When Cherri questions how Holy Driver is back after being taken to heaven by Exterminators, Poker Face asks if he was supposed to go to [[Recap/SouthParkS4E9DoTheHandicappedGoToHell Detroit]].

* TheNicknamer: Angel Dust has a field day with Kira, eventually settling on Killer Queen, ironically.
* NothingIsScarier: This is the big fear factor with Kira's Mr. Clean persona. He's some demon no one's ever met who can make people vanish with an ability no one's ever heard of. [[spoiler:Charlie has Kira take an interview and spread his identity to defy this trope. He goes from a complete unknown who makes people disappear for HOLY DIVER to just some (powerful) demon. This takes away the main reason HOLY DIVER wants him back under his employ]].

Another story by the same author, ''FanFic/HelluvaJob'', is set in the same universe, and there's a sequel focusing on Vinegar Doppio, called ''Only the Results'', currently in progress.

* MythologyGag: Every [=JoJo=] character and OC are named for songs or musicians. Three guesses who HOLY DIVER is.

-->'''Kira''': [[spoiler:You may not have found your mother, ''''Dio,'''' but at least you can live the rest of your afterlife knowing you made your dadd so ''''proud!'''']]

* CameBackStrong: [[FightingSpirit Stand]] Users in Hell tend to expand upon their abilities during their stay. Kira's [[StuffBlowingUp powers]] are essentially the same, albeit with more creative applications as time goes on, though he does discover new variations as time goes on. Most notable is [[spoiler:HOLY DIVER, who can now stop time for an undefined period, and can even create 'bubbles' of frozen/unfrozen time to restrain people or have someone else move about in the frozen time. Combine that with the fact that he's inherited The World's strength and speed, it's easy to see how he became a lord of Hell itself]].

* ClingyJealousGirl: Vaggie is this to Charlie, though she has a legitimate reason to dislike Kira, him being a SerialKiller and all.

* [[spoiler:BittersweetEnding]]: [[spoiler:Kira dies at the end, but he does so saving the others. Unlike other demons, his soul, represented by gold smoke, ascends away and he meets with a being who may be God. He is told he is not redeemed, but proven himself redeemable, and he is reborn as his ''Manga/{{JoJolion}}'' counterpart. From what we know from canon, it is a ForegoneConclusion that he will earn his way to heaven this time around]].

** God Given's powers now allow him to create constructs based on memories, rather than just outright replays. This means that just recreating the 'survival' tactics of the previous victims will not guarantee survival, but people can conduct actions and receive results that were not part of the original memory[[labelnote:*]]For example, if he created the plane crash once again, sitting in the seat of the survivors would not guarantee living, but the victim would have the option to hypothetically stop the crash all together.[[/labelnote]]. So while [[spoiler:finding the right hiding place can't be used to avoid the Exorcists he creates, the constructs can be fought off, since encountering one is not a guaranteed death sentence. Charlie and her gang can fight them off until Kira kills GG]].
