History Fanfic / GreatGrandUncleSchimmelhornsToolbox

* InternalReveal: Danny tells Zoe Barnes how much her daughter and husband have gone since their encounter with the ABB grunts.

Surprisingly, it is a sort-of crossover with a 1950 science fiction short story [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gnurrs_Come_from_the_Voodvork_Out The Gnurrs Come from the Voodvork Put]] by Reginald Bretnor

* AccidentalTruth: When Winslow gets shut down as a result of Taylor's lawsuit, the cover story is that there was asbestos discovered in the school. The mayor then launches a real search for asbestos in other public buildings and ''actually finds some''.

* ExtremeOmnivore: Gnurrs. The first time Taylor summons them, they eat out an old warehouse from the inside, along with all the stuff that was still inside.

* MoreThanMindControl: Discussed. Many people view Sophia's manipulation of Emma as something akin to the brainwashing of an emotionally vulnerable person.

** She later discovers its utility to get scratch lottery cards with good prizes.

* ShoutOut: When it goes into its BlueScreenOfDeath over the implications of Papa's creations and Anton's abilities, Lisa's Shard throws out the lines "everything is made of onions" and "is that a lizard", referencing the author's ''Fanfic/TaylorVarga''.

* MoreThanMindControl: Many people view Sophia's manipulation of Emma, vulnerable after being attacked, as something akin to direct brainwashing.

* WrongContextMagic: Papa's mechanical creations and Anton's trick are ''not'' Shard-based like the usual powers of the setting. Besides the fact that they can be understood and even ''taught'', when [[spoiler:Lisa's power gets its first look at the latter after Taylor uses it to rescue her from Coil's recruitment attempt, Lisa gets the mental impression that it's gaping like a fish in astonishment at something it's never seen before, and is ''very'' eager for Lisa to try and learn it herself]]. [[spoiler:When Taylor tells her some of the theory behind it, as well as show her several other tricks she's come up with, the Shard suffers a BlueScreenOfDeath and has to reset.]]

* EngineeredPublicConfession: When Piggot reams out Sophia for being so stupid that she forgot to put the drugs she wanted to use to frame Taylor, Sophia shrieks that she didn't forget, invalidating her previous protestations of innocence.

* RefugeInAudacity: Taylor manages to get away with recording everything that happens at school (particularly the bullying) by carrying a badge stating that she's recording everything. If no one believes her, that's their business. And if the teachers attempt to take the recorder (even though they have no standing to do so), she can give them a fake one and keep recording.

* SpannerInTheWorks: Taylor's lawsuit against Winslow and the PRT inadvertently helps expose the depths of Coil's influence in the organization.

* ParentalObliviousness: PlayedForDram. Zoe Barnes had no idea how badly Emma had been treating Taylor and is extremely unamused to learn this from Danny, and Alan is equally upset that he failed to notice Emma's emotional breakdown.

* WrongContextMagic: Papa's mechanical creations and Anton's trick are ''not'' Shard-based like the usual powers of the setting. Besides the fact that they can be understood and even ''taught'', when [[spoiler:Lisa's power gets its first look at the latter after Taylor uses it to rescue her from Coil's recruitment attempt, Lisa gets the mental impression that it's gaping like a fish in astonishment at something it's never seen before, and is ''very'' eager for Lisa to try and learn it herself]].

* ParentalObliviousness: Zoe Barnes had no idea how badly Emma had been treating Taylor and is extremely unamused to learn this from Danny.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Piggot briefly contemplates having Sophia shot and then claim she was shot trying to escape, but she's not that much of a bitch. What does get her furious is how she spent a year and a half torturing someone else for kicks, and takes great pleasure in letting Sophia suffering the consequences of her actions.

* FramingTheGuiltyParty: In payback for Sophia trying to get her in trouble by planting drugs in her locker and calling the cops on her, Taylor uses her new tricks to not only remove the drugs, but put them in ''Sophia's'' pocket in time for the drug dog to detect, making it look like Sophia tried to frame her but was '''too stupid to actually plant the drugs'''. Understandably, no one believes Sophia's protests on the matter.
