History Fanfic / DucktalesTwentyYearsLater

** One could make the argument that Huey, Dewy and Louie ended up emphasizing different parts of who their Uncle Scrooge was.

*** Dewy was the shrewd businessman who wanted to make his own way in the world, and who became guardian of a vast amount of wealth.

** When Dewy expresses shock that the general populace is so quick to buy the idea [[FrameUp that the nephews are bad guys]] despite Scrooge's good name, Louie points out that's because Dewy is looking at it with the rose-tinted glasses of a close relative: for everyone else, Scrooge was a greedy miser (to the point that he considered "charity" a dirty word), and was only tolerated because compared to [[AmoralAfrikaner Glomgold]] or [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Rockerduck]], his belief in honest work meant [[ALighterShadeOfBlack he was a saint]]. Because Dewey hasn't had similar arch-enemies to fight against, he's become perceived as the spitting image of all of Scrooge's faults without any of his virtues. Not helping is that Louie ran off after becoming an apparent stereotypical cash-tossing empty-headed trust fund kid, whilst Huey ran away to avoid being drafted to fight in the war (presumably Vietnam).

* AffirmativeActionLegacy: [[spoiler: Gosalyn has taken up the Darkwing Duck mantle.]]
* BigBadDuumvirate: Technically speaking, there's a wide partnership of different villains with different agendas, but [[spoiler: Magica [=DeSpell=], The Grand High Marshall of of Thembria and Farid Kagan as the 3 main forces.]]
* BookEnds: The first scene of ''WesternAnimation/{{DuckTales|1987}}'' has Scrooge swimming through his money bin, reveling in his wealth before being called in to pick up his grandnephews. The last scene of the fic features [[spoiler: the nephews splitting up again, and afterwards Dewy and Webby swimming in the new money from his OWN earnings in the money bin.]]

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: [[spoiler: Farid Kagan, who is also the BigBad.]]

** {{Nephewism}} is deconstructed with [[spoiler: Rosalina, Maria, and Amalia Carioca]], who are given a DarkerAndEdgier makeover as [[spoiler:Jose Carioca's]] three illegitimate daughters.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: The 3 duck brothers travel the world, fighting villains, challenging old enemies, righting old emotional wounds. But by the end of everything, all the heroes have survived to the end. The Nephews, despite knowing they may never see each other again, part on good terms. Donald [[spoiler: returns from hiding to reunite with Daisy]], Gizmoduck and Darkwing's legacies are secure, and [[spoiler: Dewey and Webby]] are perhaps on their way to a new stage of their relationship.

* ExtremeLibido: The [[MeaningfulName aptly-named]] "Boner" Beagle is characterized by his constant lust for any woman around him, and is endlessly either crudely hitting on women or talking about women he wants to have sex with. When holding a bunch of nuns hostage, he pleads with his brothers to be allowed to rape at least one of them, as he has a [[NaughtyNuns nun fetish]]. When he realizes that [[spoiler: Gosalyn!Darkwing]] is a girl, he starts planning to rape her once he defeats her.

* FrameUp: [[spoiler: Farid]] frames the nephews as being the masterminds behind the Beagle Boys' takeover of Duckburg.

* GoodThingYouCanHeal: [[spoiler: Gosalyn]] is fine with using any means to take down Bushroot, including killing him, because as a PlantPerson, he'll simply regrow no matter how badly you mess him up.

** [[spoiler: Gosalyn!Darkwing threatens Steelbeak with this while interrogating him. Green Phantom (Louie) is at first disturbed, but threatens it himself and even more forcefully when Steelbeak names [=McDuck=] Enterprises as the company that's been laundering money for him]]

* ImmortalitySeeker: Living forever is the ultimate goal of the [[spoiler: Grand High Marshall of Thembria]]

* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: [[spoiler: Gosalyn]] was fine with Louie trying to be a superhero, and brushed off his attempts at boasting, but as soon as Louie compared himself to [[spoiler:the previous]] Darkwing Duck, she [[TheReasonYouSuck goes off]] on him and explains exactly how much time and training Darkwing had invested into his career, unlike Louie.

* LegionOfDoom: A legion composed of [[spoiler: Camille Chameleon, The Beagle Boys clan, Magica De Spell, The Grand Marshall of Thembria, and Farid Kagan]] with a common goal to destroy Scrooge [=McDuck=]'s legacy though with various personal goals as well.
* MarryThemAll: [[spoiler: How does Huey react to having three beautiful girls in the form of the Cariocas on his tail throughout the whole story? With glee. Notably, it's ''their'' idea to share him and officially hook up with him at the end, though they warn him that their generosity ends with each other, so he had better not think of trying to add any more girls to the arrangement.]]

* {{Nephewism}}: Huey, Dewey, and Louie, obviously. Also referenced with Rosalina, Maria, and Amalia, the three Neices of Jose Carioca. [[spoiler: As befits the DarkerAndEdgier nature of this fanfic, though, it eventually gets revealed that they are not his nieces, but his illegitimate daughters.]]

* OldMaster: [[spoiler: WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck in his superhero identity PK, who kicks the asses of two out of three of the boys. Also, the original Gizmoduck, Fenton Crackshell.]]

* TheReveal: [[spoiler: The new Gizmoduck is Doofus.]]

%%* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: Poor [[spoiler: Doofus]].

* DirtyCommunists: The Thembrians from ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'' fill out this role nicely.

* SuperRegistrationAct: Occurs in St. Canard by [[PoweredArmor Gizmoduck]] as a ham-fisted reference to Creator/MarvelComics' ''ComicBook/CivilWar''.

* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: Poor [[spoiler: Doofus]].
* UnstoppableRage: When the boys channel their uncle Donald.
* UnwittingPawn: Several. The main ones being Gizmoduck, Steelbeak and S.H.U.S.H.

* TheHero: Despite there being many main characters, the hero of the fic is ultimately [[spoiler: Dewey]]. He has the most CharacterDevelopment, he defeats most of the lead villains, and he's the point of view whom we end the fic on.

** When Dewy expresses shock that the general populace is so quick to buy the idea [[FrameUp that the nephews are bad guys]] despite Scrooge's good name, Louie points out that's because Dewy is looking at it with the rose-tinted glasses of a close relative: for everyone else, Scrooge was a greedy miser (to the point that he considered "charity" a dirty word), and was only tolerated because compared to [[EvilerThanThou the Glomgolds and the Rockerducks]], [[ALighterShadeOfBlack he was a saint]]. Because Dewey hasn't had similar arch-enemies to fight against, he's become perceived as the spitting image of all of Scrooge's faults without any of his virtues. Not helping is that Louie ran off after becoming an apparent stereotypical cash-tossing empty-headed trust fund kid, whilst Huey ran away to avoid being drafted to fight in the war (presumably Vietnam).

* GangOfHats: Steelbeak's gang consists of prostitutes in sexy outfits. Highlights include a SexyNurse and a dominatrix, the latter armed with a [[WhipItGood whip]].

* SiblingRivalry: Oh yeah! The rivalry is over all sorts of different thinks in both the past and present, with all the nephews having different views on how to one up their brothers.

A MegaCrossover ContinuationFic by WebAnimation/DotDotDot, starring Huey, Dewey, and Louie, written after a prompt on an {{ImageBoard|s}}. Despite the name, it involves much more than just ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales'', eventually encompassing most of the rest of ''WesternAnimation/TheDisneyAfternoon'' and a large portion of the Disney comics, both by Americans like Creator/CarlBarks and Creator/DonRosa, and by various European sources.

* BookEnds: The first scene of WesternAnimation/DuckTales has Scrooge swimming through his money bin, reveling in his wealth before being called in to pick up his grandnephews. The last scene of the fic features [[spoiler: the nephews splitting up again, and afterwards Dewy and Webby swimming in the new money from his OWN earnings in the money bin.]]

** Scrooge's "final adventure" which ended up being his death appears to have been the adventure of The Golden Goose from the series finale of Ducktales, with several key differences, such as the goose apparently laying golden eggs which it didn't do in the original story.

* UsefulNotes/TheKoreanWar: Retconned in as the reason WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck had to leave the boys with Scrooge during the ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales'' era.

* MegaCrossover: ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'', ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales'', ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'', ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'', ''WesternAnimation/TheThreeCaballeros'', and the comics from both sides of the pond are unceremoniously glued together to form one continuity.

* BroadStrokes: Scrooge's "final adventure" which ended up being his death appears to have been the adventure of The Golden Goose from the series finale of Ducktales, with several key differences, such as the goose apparently laying golden eggs which it didn't do in the original story.

* SuperRegistrationAct: Occurs in St. Canard by [[PoweredArmor Gizmoduck]] as a ham-fisted reference to Crator/MarvelComics' ''ComicBook/CivilWar''.
