History Fanfic / DucktalesTwentyYearsLater

A MegaCrossover ContinuationFic by WebAnimation/DotDotDot, starring Huey, Dewey, and Louie, written after a prompt on an ImageBoard. 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.

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

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

* 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.

*** Huey ended up an international traveler, following his code of ethic to a different land to live his own life.

* UnwittingPawn: Several. The main ones being Gizmoduck, Steelbeak and the S.H.U.S.H.

** The Duck Triplets' childhood is deconstructed in that it's left them all marked in their own unique ways, and those scars actually caused them to separate from each other for a prolonged period of time. Louie holds a certain pent-up resentment for his granduncle, and likewise kind of loathes his brother Dewey for trying to be Scrooge [=McDuck=] Jr... whilst also being bitter that he was never as respected by his granduncle as Dewey was. Hewey resents Donald for leaving them to go and fight in the Korean War, and then getting [[spoiler:seemingly]] killed in Vietnam.

** 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 the Glomgolds and the Rockerducks, [[EvilerThanThou 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).

** The Duck Triplets' childhood is deconstructed in that it's left them all marked in their own unique ways, and those scars actually caused them to separate from each other for a prolonged period of time.

Hewey resents Donald for leaving them to go and fight in the Korean War, and then getting [[spoiler:seemingly]] killed in Vietnam.

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

* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype / DeconstructionFic: 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 the Glomgolds and the Rockerducks, [[EvilerThanThou he was a saint]].

This is where Huey sets up shop.

* MarryThemAll: [[spoiler: How does Huey react to having three girls on his tail throughout the whole story? With glee.
