History Fanfic / DespicableVsDevoted

* ThirteenIsUnlucky: Kyle has admitted that Chapter 13 is not his favorite chapter. The author's note at the end explains why.

As if that wasn't enough, Alex falls in love with Margo and makes it his sworn duty to win over her heart, awakening Gru's OverprotectiveDad instincts. Even worse, the infamous supervillain Hypno-Joe escapes from prison and, believing Gru's repentance is a cover too, wants to persuade him into taking over the world with him--with Susan as his mindless puppet wife.

[[caption-width-right:350:Which is worse? Gru's villainous past coming back to haunt him, or [[OverprotectiveDad his eldest daughter finding love?]]]]

*** Margo is still a little sore about Antonio breaking up with her. She also hasn't forgotten about the OverprotectiveDad side of Gru.

* BreakTheCutie: The girls burst into tears when they see [[spoiler:Gru about to fall to his death]] in Chapter 14. Then later, in the ending, they felt guilty about [[spoiler:the destruction they caused as hypnotized supervillains]].

* QuicksandSucks: [[spoiler:What almost kills Alex in Chapter 19.]]

* MemorialForTheAntagonist: At the end of the story, [[spoiler:Hypno-Joe visits Scarlet Overkill's grave]].

* AdultFear: Gru's daughters are put in danger in the third act, as usual. [[spoiler:Except this time, rather than being put into a life-threatening situation, they are brainwashed by Hypno-Joe into thinking they're supervillains so they would pick up from where Gru left off.]]

* HypnotizeThePrincess: Hypno-Joe makes Susan fall in love with him very early on, and the story suggests that this is far from the first time.

* LovePotion: Love Potion #10, a love serum that Dr. Nefario invented for Gru during his villain days. It's empty as of this story's events, but that doesn't stop Devan from assuming that was what Gru used to make Lucy marry him.

* RealityEnsues:
** Of course a superhero that Gru has battled with so many times is not going to immediately believe he's changed.
** Devan tries to file a police report against Gru in Chapter 5. But with no clear evidence to convict him on, the police doesn't have a case.

-->'''Gru:''' Me, too,. I mean, someone's gotta pay for the damages. Those people who think it's "cool" have been watching too many superhero movies.
