History Fanfic / HarryAndTheShipgirls

** As one might expect from the Malfoy Family, they have their own set of '''massively''' tangled family relationships. Thanks to Lucius Malfoy's paternal grandmother being the daughter of the then-head of the French Malfoy branch (who married her British cousin around the time of World War I), and Colombe du Chasteler being the (adopted) bastard daughter of the oldest son of the then-head of the French Malfoy branch (from the 1600s), Lucius and Colombe consider each other cousins (technically 'first cousins twelve times' removed). Which makes Ehren and Draco second cousins legally (well outside the bounds of consanguinuity but still distant relations marrying each other), and Ehren a 'first cousin six times removed' to Fleur Delacour (who is matrilineally descended from an illegitimate child of Colombe's great-grandnephew Raoul du Chasteler in the 1850s). This just becomes more complex when Draco marries Ehren and three shipgirls (with USS Johnston having 174 ''Fletcher''-class destroyer siblings, HMS Cleopatra having fifteen ''Dido''-class cruiser sisters (including Hermione Granger, as well as HMS Dido and HMS Sirius, both of whom are in their own polycule that includes Ehren's oldest half-sister Estelle), and SMS Niobe having her own set of nine ''Gazelle''-class light cruiser sisters. This also doesn't count the fact that the Malfoys have blood ties to both the Muggle Paulet family (the Marquesses of Winchester) and the magical Macmillains of Scotland dating back to the English Civil War, or that Draco has easily 20+ children, several of whom are the product of two of his four wives (although all are Blood Adopted by him and treated as his children even if IE Helene Malfoy is actually a cross between Cleopatra and Ehren genetically).

** Thanks to Sega buying out the company that made knockoffs of their final console with a built-in screen and adding a battery pack, the UsefulNotes/SegaDreamcast wound up actually being pretty popular as it was the perfect way to occupy kids in shelters during Blood Week, allowing them to keep making new consoles afterwards.

* AlternateUniverseFic: In this universe, the First Blood War against Voldemort lasted twenty years longer than it did in canon, effectively letting Harry's generation grow up in a more modern age than they did in canon.

** German subgirls are the very image of a ConsummateProfessional when they're on duty. Off duty, however, they go HardDrinkingPartyGirl at what is essentially an endless party.

* MegaMealChallenge: The Nine Clan Heads challenge, which consists of nine full courses - the "Little Burger", a smash-style burger with all the works and two patties, with a pound of meat per patty; the Die-Maru, which was an even bigger burger with additions such as a massive amount of pulled pork alongside the lamb, chicken, and veal patties that made it up beside the beef ones; "The Hunted", a meat lovers pizza nearly as wide as most are tall; the Nigiri-iator, a massive course of sushi; the "Meter of Just This", meter tall and long roll sandwiches filled with all sorts of things; the "Wheel of Meat Fortune", a round plate the size of a small table that has a meat platter on it; "The Marbling of the Northern Beef", a wagyu beef Sukiyaki placed inside a large cauldron than the normal hot pot; and finally the "Parfait-Bound", a parfait served in a vessel the size of a large punchbowl with the parfait itself being about the size of a medium chandelier. Needless to say, only the biggest of eaters can successfully beat this challenge, but the lifetime of free food for succeeding has drawn many contenders.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: North Korea ceased to exist when Kim Jong-Il, [[InsaneTrollLogic believing Seoul was responsible for the Abyssals, ordered a nuclear strike on South Korea...and the targeting system made his own dirty bomb turn back and hit Pyongyang instead.

* StartMyOwn: Tired of the corruption and FantasticRacism towards Yokai, the more moderate members of the Tokyo Magical Diet decided to split off and start a more moderate administration based in Kyoto. [[Spoiler:Eventually, Kyoto became the de facto administration, with Tokyo being shut down due to a Vote of No Confidence.]]

* WorldOfBadass: It's easier to count the number of characters who can't kick copious amounts of ass, with most of the [[Literature/HarryPotter]] characters receiving [[AdaptationalBadass upgrades]].

* StupidEvil: What Grindelwald considers Voldemort to be due to his making horcruxes and believing that they grant true immortality, and then making it so that people are too afraid to say his name. The only thing horcrxes do is make sure that the wizard or witch who created one will live the longest they can, but it doesn't mean that they won't eventually die. Doing so also results in the person being BarredFromTheAfterlife. And with his making it so that everyone is afraid to say his name, he has ensured that he will be forgotten, unlike Grindlewald, who will be remembered for his evil acts, and thus have a sort of immortality that way. Grindelwald says that for a man like Voldemort, this would be a FateWorseThanDeath, and he did it to himself.

** To wit, Dumbledore has already formally punished Cormac by among other things, a loss of enough House Points to drop Gryffindor from first to last in the standings. Therefore any further 'informal discipline' taken by the Malfoys has to be deniable. Over Valentine's Weekend, Draco takes Pansy to Hogsmeade to provide an alibi for his actions, then 'loses his wand' during the date (actually handed secretly off to Greg Goyle) to justify her returning alone to Hogwarts while he 'searches for it'. Draco then heads to the Three Broomsticks where Nimue and his Fleet are waiting for him in a private room, then uses a Time-Turner to jump back with the Fleet to that morning, where he promptly Floos out to London for his planned Valentine's Date with them. This further establishes his alibi when he meets Hermione and Ron at Windsor Castle during an award ceremony where he proposes to Cleopatra the day after Valentine's. Meanwhile, [[TwinSwitch Nimue disguises herself as Draco with Ehren's help]], then heads to Hogwarts with Draco's 'lost' wand. Nimue and Ehren meet with the Weasley Twins (who think they are actually meeting Draco and Ehren who hired them for help with the prank) to provide them with several doses of a potion Narcissa brewed that temporarily turns males into females. The next day, before breakfast, 'Draco' is successfully publicly dared by the Weasley Twins to drink a dose of that potion (which actually does nothing to Nimue who is a girl) to goad Cormac into taking a dose as well. The potion turns Cormac into a girl as Ehren drops the illusion disguising Nimue's female body to make it appear to the crowd of witnesses that 'Draco' got girlified as well. Cue Melissia and Argalia giving these 'cute girls' a makeover -- which Nimue openly flaunts (being a girl all along of course) for the rest of the day so as to embarrass Draco once he finally returns to Hogwarts that evening to find out what 'Pretty Slytherin Princess Draco-chan' had been doing during his absence. Draco also secretly takes a dose as well upon arrival that turns him female for a hour so that the potion publicly 'wears off' for him -- therefore as as a 'victim' of this prank he can't be punished for it especially with his firm alibi!

* FanNickname:
** Ofuda made by Natsumi, which are painted by a brush that has unicorn hair on it are very effective against [[HolyBurnsEvil anything evil or created by evil]] are called by people in the threads Nuke-fuda due to how bright the light they produce is.
** Each country's Submarine contingent gets a specific nickname; the Japanese are [[CovertPervert The Lewdmarines]], the Americans are [[KleptomaniacHero The Subthieves]], the British are the [[LargeHam Ham & Cheese Subs]] (or less often The [[NoIndoorVoice LOUDmarines]]).

* HamAndCheese: Ladies, Gentlemen, Shipgirls of all ages, we present to you, the KNIGHTS OF THE UNDERSEA! Also known as the Royal Navy Submarines.

** Umbridge being the ur-example, exemplified when [[https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/harry-and-the-shipgirls-prisoner-of-shipping-a-hp-kancolle-snippet-collection.54158/post-23083039 she thought so little of Masamune no Kotegiri]], who is a ''very close adivsor'' to the Imeprial Japanese family for centuries and ''highly respected[=/=]feared'' among the magical Japanese world, much to Undersecretary Shigure Miyata's absolute horror (especially at the cultural differences that Umbridge should've read up on as a high-ranking politician, and the cultural ''faux pas'' she would've committed had she actually met Kotegiri in person).

** Regalia, a Re-Class who was born crippled until she was repaired by Hoppou, is also the only Re-Class who never had a [[LiteralSplitPersonality demon]]. Even Regina, who is a cinamon roll around Harry, has one.

** Sumiko Fukai, who is also her clan's HeroicBastard, is literally the only member who does not want to kill the Ono Clan. So much so that after leaving the Fukai Clan, she became an ally of the Ono Clan.

* CloningBlues: The Abyssal Shipgirls created by the Research Princess, especially Abyssal Kisaragi, who retained the most of the original's memories and believes herself to be a fake that everyone will hate.

* DesperatelyCravesAffection: The submarine girls. The other shipgirls are not exactly friendly with them, due to their history, so subgirls tend to act in an exaggerated manner.

** A Re-Class who lost her fleet at Scapa Flow decided to undertake a last "tour" visiting the places where her comrades sank, before going to Scapa Flow again and sink herself. Fortunately for her, her fallen comrades came back to life and the Scapa Flow herself materialized as an Installation to stop her.
** Also happened to Mika's mother and Delilah's lover Louise Winona after being turned into a ManchurianAgent by TOTEM's MindRape. Rather than betray her loves and her oaths, Louise [[IDieFree went out on her own terms]] fighting to save a refugee column diring the Great Sasquatch Rebellion of 1892
* EatingTheEnemy: Harry & co. are at a loss as to what to do with all the meat from The Basilisk. The Dark Magic that permeates it makes it pretty much inedible without a lot of prep work. Then Hoppo takes a bite. It turns out to be ImpossiblyDeliciousFood to Abyssals.

* MegaMealChallenge: The Nine Clan Heads challenge, which consists of nine full courses - the "Little Burger", a smash-style burger with all the works and two patties, with a pound of meat per patty; the Die-Maru, which was an even bigger burger with additions such as a massive amount of pulled pork alongside the lamb, chicken, and veal patties that made it up beside the beef ones; "The Hunted", a meat lovers pizza nearly as wide as most are tall; the Nigiri-iator, a massive course of sushi; the "Meter of Just This", meter tall and long roll sandwiches filled with all sorts of things; the "Wheel of Meat Fortune", a round plate the size of a small table that has a meat platter on it; "The Marbling of the Northern Beef", a wagyu beef Sukiyaki placed inside a large cauldron than the normal hot pot; and finally the Parfait-Bound, a parfait served in a vessel the size of a large punchbowl with the parfait itself being about the size of a medium chandelier. Needless to say, only the biggest of eaters can successfully beat this challenge, but the lifetime of free food for succeeding has drawn many contenders.

* TalkingToTheDead: Victory's Christmas present to Albus and Aberforth is to bring out fairy Ariana to them, who is technically part of her crew since their Royal Navy grandfather pulled a few strings to have her baptized on Victory's hull with her bell.

* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Almostnyone who ends up with an Abyssal Princess in their romantic lives ([[spoiler: Ron with Summer, Percy with Supprin, even Hagrid with Wanko]]).

* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: An unfortunately common line of thinking among the more conservative European and American wizards.
