History Fanfic / DillydaleLess

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Miss Calamity, at work, is patronized by her cubical neighbors and seen as a "loon" or "bad luck charm" by everyone else. It's bad enough she also has to deal with a perverted manager who despite having a crush on her, doesn't even have consideration towards her to begin with. Although it's implied that this got better by the end of the story.

* CallingTheOldManOut: Mr. Toil calls out both his mother and Mr. Chair for their toxic behavior, saying that he refuses to call them his parents.

* CowardlyLion: Mr. Nervous, who gathers up the courage to move out of his comfortable home in Toronto and apply for a job in the States. He even manages to get a job that involves exploring abandoned areas and filming ghosts, something that would be too scary for a nervous guy like him, but does it anyway because it's better to do something than nothing at all.
* CrapsackOnlyByComparison: The lives of the characters in this AU compared to their lives in Dillydale in the normal show, as they are a bit more grounded in reality.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Mr. Chair, despite how he is, was still horrified after [[spoiler:He ran over Officer Just]].

* HorribleHollywood: One of the themes in ''Golden Sunshine'', mainly about how celebrity life can be downright exhausting or cause you to become a SpoiledBrat.
* HumiliationConga: Mr. Chair suffers this throughout the second half of ''One Calamitious Date'' as part of Miss Calamity and Miss Type's revenge scheme, from him being eaten and barfed out by a sea monster to being humiliated on an amusement park ride. [[spoiler:It ultimately ends with him accidentally running over a revered police officer, getting arrested, and temporarily becoming the most hated person in New York.]] Ouch.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: ''Golden Sunshine'' makes a few references to real life stars. Examples include [[Music/MileyCyrus Little Miss Miley]] and [[Music/TaylorSwift Little Miss Swift]].

* StrongFamilyResemblance: Miss Business looks exactly like her son, Mr. Toil, barring the glasses, and Mr. Toil and Miss Type eventually have triplets, which includes a daughter that looks just like Mr. Toil.
* TookALevelInKindness: Mr. Toil, after suffering through a VillainousBSOD He manages to have a heartfelt, non-argumentative conversation with Miss Calamity, and upon running into Miss Type the following day, takes her around the city to help her feel better, and even stands up for her when they are confronted by [[MeanBoss Mr. Chair]]. Eventually towards the end, he becomes the new office manager, where he is much kinder to the employees, and even proclaims Miss Type as his partner, rather than his assistant.

* WalkingSpoiler: Little Miss Business.

* YouAreFat: At one point Mr. Chair [[KickTheDog drives a female employee to tears by mocking her for being overweight]]. Ironically, he himself sports an enormous gut clearly due to his not-so-glamorous eating habits.

* YouGetMeCoffee: Pretty much what Miss Type's job amounted to.
