History Fanfic / DigimonChildrenOfTime

** In canon, Yoshino's backstory was largely her just feeling overshadowed by her elder sisters and suffering depression and low self-esteem as a result. Here, Yoshino accidentally left the stove on one night, causing a fire that killed her sisters. While she ''knows'' it was an accident, she sometimes doubts herself and wonders if she actually did it on purpose out of resentment towards them being better than her

* MugglesDoItBetter: Digimon are incapable of harming Voidlings; only Digisoul-using humans can. This can done either through straight up brawling (Masaru' method), or by enhancing weaponry with one's Digisoul.

As of July 12th, 2018, Zero decided to leave Fanfiction.net due to experiences with hostile users and migrated to Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn. He had not made any updates to either ''Children of the Past'' nor ''Children of the Future'' since February 14, 2018, and according to his tumblr page, while he had hoped to update it eventually, it had become an OldShame, leaving the series presumed dead for some time. It would surprisingly get updated again though a little over ''[[ScheduleSlip four years later]]'', now advertising it was on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn.

** [[spoiler:Apollomon and Marsmon of ''Anime/DigimonFusion'' returned to being Koh's partners, with Marsmon later joining Taiki's Xros Loader.]]

* MergedReality: Played with. It's explained that the different versions of the Digital World as seen in ''[[Anime/DigimonAdventure Adventure]]''[=/=]''[[Anime/DigimonAdventure02 02]]'', ''[[Anime/DigimonTamers Tamers]]'', ''[[Anime/DigimonFrontier Frontier]]'', and ''[[Anime/DigimonDataSquad Data Squad]]'' were all once one composite world, but were broken apart when the original [=DigiDestined=] defeated the darkness present during that time. After Taichi, Daisuke, Takato, Takuya, and Masaru's respective groups saved each one, they have since merged back together into a single world.

* ArmorPiercingSlap: In chapter 8, Ruki receives one from Yoshino after the former badmouths her sister and wishes she was gone.

* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: In chapter 18, Taichi is panicking at the sight of [=SkullGreymon=] and on the verge of giving up, believing they can't win, Sora gives him an ArmorPiercingSlap and chews him out, refusing to give up on the world they'd strived so hard to protect. It works like a charm.

* FlawedPrototype: It's revealed in ''Present'' chapter 14 that [[spoiler: Takuya, Sora, Koichi, Chika, Jian, and Hikari]] were all experimented on with prototypes of the Dark Spore, all of which were failures in some form: [[spoiler:Hikari suffered a weakened immune system, thus explaining why she was [[IllGirl sick so much as a child]], and Takuya, Sora, Koichi, and Chika only received half of the effects (Takuya and Sora excelling in sports while Chika and Koichi excelled in academics)]]. [[spoiler:Jian]] was the last test subject before Ken, and implanted with a near-perfect example of the spore, except he was able to control the spore without getting corrupted; however, when he was first experimented on with the spore, he flew into an UnstoppableRage and destroyed the facility where they were manufactured.

Unlike most Digimon crossover fanfics, Zero Unit RGB has taken all the source material of each series, run with it and taken it UpToEleven with all the possible references of the entire franchise... to the point that the series themselves are stacked up into a ridiculously elaborate timeline.

** Daisy is the Tomboy to Rai's Girly Girl in ''Past''. Daisy is a {{Tomboy}} with BoyishShortHair, whereas Rai has RapunzelHair.

* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10331609/1/Children-of-the-Past Children of the Past]]'', which centers on the original [=DigiDestined=] group before Tai Kamiya's.

[[folder: As a Whole]]

* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: In chapter 6 of ''Present'', Rika is revealed to have an identical twin sister named Risa, though Risa has dyed her hair blonde.

** [[spoiler:Jeri's Leomon is revived as a Leormon.]]

** The Monster Makers (Robert [=McCoy=], Janyu Wong, Shibumi, Babel, Daisy, and Rai), are revealed [[spoiler: to be the original [=DigiDestined=] group, predating Tai's]]. Not only that, but [[spoiler:the Wizardmon that [[HeroicSacrifice died protecting Kari and Gatomon]] is revealed to be Rai's partner.]]
** Additionally, [[spoiler: Babel, Daisy, and Rai]] are revealed to be the parents of Phil, Anna, and Mina, respectively, three of the international [=DigiDestined=] that Tai and the others encountered during the Digimon World Tour.

** Shibumi is revealed to have [[spoiler: co-founded DATS alongside Spencer Damon]], as well as having been responsible for [[spoiler: the appearance of the Greymon and Parrotmon that Tai's group saw fighting eleven years previously]].

* ComicBooksAreReal: Due to the CanonWelding. Takato is surprised to discover early on that the ''Digimon'' television show is all real events, and that Tai and his friends all actually went through it all.

** [[spoiler:Robert]] shares traits with the [[TheLeader leaders]] of the different groups, most notably Tai. He [[GogglesDoNothing wears goggles]], enjoys playing soccer, and has a reptilian/draconic Digimon for a partner.
** [[spoiler:Rai]] bares similarities to both Kari and Sora. In the case of the former, she's the youngest member of the group who everyone looks out for, and in the case of the latter, she's [[TheHeart the glue who holds her team together]].
** [[spoiler:Babel]] is similar to Joe, being the oldest member of his team and having an aquatic Digimon for a partner.
** [[spoiler:Janyu]] is also similar to TK, starting out as a crybaby and afraid to do much.

* IdenticalTwinIDTag: Having two Agumons in the whole alliance would normally be confusing. Fortunately, thanks to his red armbands, Marcus's Agumon partner can be told from Tai's. Marcus's partner even commented on how they looked different.
* MarkOfTheSupernatural: Several of the Tamers bear the insignia of the Zero Unit somewhere on their bodies; Takato's is on his chest, Henry's is on his back, Rika's is on her shoulder, [[spoiler:Kenta's is on his left palm, and Jeri's is on her stomach]].

* MergedReality: Played with. It's explained that the different versions of the Digital World as seen in ''[[Anime/DigimonAdventure Adventure]]''[=/=]''[[Anime/DigimonAdventure02 02]]'', ''[[Anime/DigimonTamers Tamers]]'', ''[[Anime/DigimonFrontier Frontier]]'', and ''[[Anime/DigimonDataSquad Data Squad]]'' were all once one composite world, but were broken apart when the original [=DigiDestined=] defeated the darkness present during that time. After Tai, Davis, Takato, Takuya, and Marcus' respective groups saved each one, they have since merged back together into a single world.

* NoHuggingNoKissing: The writer has confirmed that, while there ''will'' be ShipTease, there will be no actual romance in the series; to drive that point home, Matt and Sora, who had become an OfficialCouple at the end of ''02'', have broken up by the time of ''Present''.

* SensoryOverload: Zoey, JP, and Kouji all discovered the downsides of having SuperSenses as such. Zoey compares hearing her alarm clock to standing inside a giant bell, JP describes trying spicy ravioli at an Italian restaurant as "the worst decision he ever made," and Kouji warns the others never to walk past an alley where garbage accumulates and there's no one to throw it out if they have a heightened sense of smell.
* SuperSenses: Takuya's group all possess one enhanced sense, even in human form; Takuya has super-sight, Kouji has super-smell, Zoey has super-hearing, JP has super-taste, and Tommy has super-sense of touch.
* TokyoIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse: The bulk of the Chosen Children are centered in Japan, and most Digimon bio-emergences are centered around it. In chapter 24 of ''Present'', in the wake [[spoiler:of TheUnmasquedWorld and the chaos inflicted by Keramon's digivolution line, Zoe's mother actually suggests it's safer to move out of Japan]].

** Rika is the Tomboy to Risa's Girly Girl, best shown upon Risa's introduction in ''Present'' chapter 6 with their clothing preferences; Rika wears a spike-studded leather jacket, whereas Risa wears a blouse and heels.

* {{Yakuza}}: It's revealed in ''Present'' chapter 26 that [[spoiler: Ryo is the heir to a yakuza family, and Rika's grandmother was once a mob wife]].

* ArmorPiercingSlap: In chapter 8, Rika receives one from Yoshino after the former badmouths her sister and wishes she was gone.
* BagOfSpilling: Tai's group (sans Kari) have once again lost their ability to digivolve their partners any further than Champion by the time of ''Present''. They get them back once more during chapters 18 and 19, TK regaining his during the fight with Armageddemon
* BigWhat: The [=DATS=] team is particularly shocked that Yushima [[spoiler:has a son, Shibumi. He counters that it should've been obvious considering that he's an old man in his mid-seventies who would hate to see his bloodline end]].

* ContinuityNod: In chapter 2, when Takato admits to Tai that he created Guilmon, Tai warns him of the dangers of creating Digimon, citing [[Anime/DigimonAdventure02 Kimeramon]] and [[Anime/DigimonTheMovie Diaboromon]] as examples.
* CreepyCemetery: Chapters 18 and 19 detail Tai's gang fighting Digimon in one. Both Mimi and Sora are unnerved by it, with Sora outright admitting that cemeteries creep her out.

* EleventhHourSuperpower: When things are getting increasingly dire during their respective fights in chapters 18 and 19 of ''Present'', Tai's group regains their Crest power via HeroicResolve.
* FlawedPrototype: It's revealed in ''Present'' chapter 14 that [[spoiler: Takuya, Sora, Kouichi, Kristy, Henry, and Kari]] were all experimented on with prototypes of the Dark Spore, all of which were failures in some form: [[spoiler:Kari suffered a weakened immune system, thus explaining why she was [[IllGirl sick so much as a child]], and Takuya, Sora, Kouichi, and Kristy only received half of the effects (Takuya and Sora excelling in sports while Kristy and Kouichi excelled in academics)]]. [[spoiler:Henry]] was the last test subject before Ken, and implanted with a near-perfect example of the spore, except he was able to control the spore without getting corrupted; however, when he was first experimented on with the spore, he flew into an UnstoppableRage and destroyed the facility where they were manufactured.
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: In chapter 18, Tai is panicking at the sight of [=SkullGreymon=] and on the verge of giving up, believing they can't win, Sora gives him an ArmorPiercingSlap and chews him out, refusing to give up on the world they'd strived so hard to protect. It works like a charm.
-->'''Tai''': What kind of leader am I? Getting a speech about having courage from somebody else.\\

* HandicappedBadass: Tai has a bum leg from a soccer injury, but he doesn't let it stop him from being a [=DigiDestined=].
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Kari dips into this slightly in chapter 5, remarking that she and the rest of Tai's gang don't do much in helping fight in comparison to the other groups, especially since the Tamers can give their Digimon power boosts, the Warriors can ''become'' Digimon, and Marcus is a BadassNormal who [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu punches out Digimon regularly]].
* SolomonDivorce: When their parents divorced, Risa went to live with her father, and Rika with their mother.
* TakeOurWordForIt: In chapter 11, Kouji scares off a group of perverts who were harassing Yoshino at the beach. It's not revealed exactly what he did to do so, but it describes Kari and Takato [[ReactionShot cringing and covering their eyes]], and after the fact, Yoshino remarks that she'd arrest him for assault if she wasn't off duty.
* ThereAreNoCoincidences: In chapter 11, Rika points out to Tai that she doesn't believe in destiny, and considers it odd that even before the big meeting between all the Chosen Children groups in the park, the Tamers all met members of Tai's group in some form (Tai and Matt were friends with Henry's older brother, who also attended class with Joe, Henry's older sister was in all the same sports clubs as Sora and currently in the same class as Mimi for the second year in a row, TK tried to befriend Rika while his mother tried to do an interview with hers, Izzy became acquainted with Henry when he visited Shinjuku Junior High, and Tai himself got a summer job at the Matsuki Bakery), pointing out that such things can't be mere coincidences. In response, Tai states that, while he doesn't believe in destiny either, he does believe that when it's needed, some things are just meant to happen.

* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:[[Anime/DigimonDataSquad The Bio-Hybrids]] all went their separate ways after losing, but all three have their own ways of trying to change. Naomi and Ivan became agents of DATS, Naomi as a researcher and Ivan as an officer. Kouki on the other hand still had rage issues but was being looked after by the other two, and after Marcus served as his WarriorTherapist, began traveling around as his new path in life.]]

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:After being captured, Ryo, Monodramon, Suzie, Lopmon, and Impmon are fed food that brainwashes them, the humans becoming Akumako (Partners for the Demon Lords), and Impmon digivolving to his ultimate level, Reapmon. His sister Lady-Devimon says this was supposed to be a last resort, only done if they didn't cooperate willingly or couldn't be convinced.]]

* MugglesDoItBetter: Digimon are incapable of harming Voidlings; only Digisoul-using humans can. This can done either through straight up brawling (Marcus' method), or by enhancing weaponry with one's Digisoul.

As of July 12th, 2018, Zero decided to leave Fanfiction.net due to experiences with hostile users and migrated to Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn. He has not made any updates to either ''Children of the Past'' nor ''Children of the Future'', and the latter was last updated on February 14, 2018. According to his tumblr page, while he had hoped to update it eventually, its now become an OldShame, and the series is mostly presumed [[DeadFic dead]].

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: In chapter 7, when Agumon confesses to eating "a lot of different things", it leads to this exchange:
-->'''Tai''': Don't tell me you ate more of [[LethalChef our mom's]] food. I've told you like a hundred times that if she offers you any of her [[CordonBleughChef experimental cooking]], don't take it because it will most likely be poison or taste like something that was thrown up by an unhygienic baboon.\\
'''Kari''': That is a complete and disgusting exaggeration. [''thinks for a minute''] And yet, I am compelled to say that it might actually be true.

'''''Children of Time''''' is a series of ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' {{Fan Fic}}s written by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/4114502/Zero-Unit-RGB Zero Unit RGB]], written in celebration of the Digimon franchise's 15th anniversary. The series in general makes efforts to link the six different ''Digimon'' television series (''Anime/DigimonAdventure'', ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02'', ''Anime/DigimonTamers'', ''Anime/DigimonFrontier'', ''Anime/DigimonSavers'', and ''Anime/DigimonXrosWars'') together into [[CanonWelding one coherent continuity]]. There are currently three fics in this series:

* AdaptationalBadass: Various characters reach higher levels, while [[Anime/DigimonSavers Relena]] gets a Bearmon partner.

* AnyoneCanDie: [[spoiler:Well, not Main cast, but any Digimon from any of the franchises can be killed off. Tagiru's Metal-Tyrannomon dies protecting him from Dorbickmon and then has his data loaded by Dorbickmon, meaning he is effictively a part of Dorbickmon now. The Royal Knights from ''Savers'' are all deleted by the Demon Lords (Except Omnimon, Magnamon, and Kentaurusmon)[[note]]Digimon deleted by a Demon Lord cannot reformat/be reborn, so they are KilledOffForReal[[/note]], then brought back as slaves, their only salvation being the hopes they get deleted. All of the Deva (Minus the already living Antylamon (As Lopmon) are revived before the series begins, only to fall to the Demon Lords as well and be made into slaves, and when Yuu tried to hunt them, there was too little data for them to be truly hunted. [[VideoGame/DigimonWorldDawnDusk City]] was attacked by the Demon Lord and left few survivors, including killing all of Koh and Sayo's partners aside from their Olympos XII Members.[[note]][[Anime/DigimonXrosWars Apollomon and Marsmon]] for Koh, Dianamon and Venusmon for Sayo.[[/note]] And the body count is still rising.]]

** [[spoiler:Apollomon and Marsmon of Anime/DigimonXrosWars returned to being Koh's partners, with Marsmon later joining Taiki's Xros Loader.]]

** [[spoiler:[[Anime/DigimonSavers Merukimon]] was revived and placed under the control of the Demon Lords. He was reverted to a Digiegg by Julia and Keenan, which was actually a ploy by the Demon Lords to find Kingdom Town, though he was later defeated by Mervamon and Minervamon, and had himself purified by Junpei.]]

* TakeUpMySword: [[spoiler:After being revived as an unknowing servant of the Demon Lords and falling to Takato, the [[Anime/DigimonSavers Gallantmon]] known as Duke asked Takato and Guilmon to take his place as Royal Knight, and left him with both an X-Antibody and his Medieval form.]]

* BigGood: The Xros Heart United Army. [[spoiler:While Shoutmon was in the Human World, [[Anime/DigimonXrosWarsTheYoungHuntersLeapingThroughTime Sanzomon and Gokuwmon]] assembled Digimon from all the digital worlds to aid in the defeat of the Demon Lords, and setting up strongholds everywhere, their main one being in Kingdom Town. Among those she recruited were [[Anime/DigimonFrontier the Celestial Angels]], [[VideoGame/DigimonWorldDawnDusk Chiefs Julia, Glare, and Sayo and Koh]], and with the Chosen's arrival, the former [[Anime/DigimonAdventure residents of File Island]].]]

* BigGood: The Xros Heart United Army.

* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Kurosaki is [[spoiler:in league with the Demon Lords' plan to destroy humanity, and also participated in the Dark Spore experiments on children. He's living proof that humans can be just as evil and cruel as the evil Digimon the Chosen Children fight on a regular basis.]]

** [[spoiler:The Wizardmon who befriended Gatoman, and was killed by Myotismon, is revealed to be Rai's Digimon partner.]]
