History Fanfic / Infinity

--->[[spoiler: '''Lindy''':"Fate... did you see her, after your encounter? Did you look at that girl, broken in the dirt after what you did to her? Because I did, I saw my little girl lying half-dead in a hospital bed, and I saw the burns on my son's body from when he tried to save her and you tried to kill him for it. What mother could possibly be neutral after that? ...You tried to kill my children. Did you think I wouldn't take it personally?]]

** In recent chapters, as we delve more into their characters, they also shown traits of the other characters, like [[spoiler:[[FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya Miyu]]]] for Tsukuyomi, and [[spoiler:{{LiveActionTV/Dexter}}]] for Susanoo

** [[spoiler:Tsukuyomi's stunts in Nanoha's school have a certain similarity with [[FateKaleidLinerPrismaIlya Miyu's first time at Ilya's school.]] Especially the cooking escapades.]]

** [[spoiler:'''''[[{{Gundam00}} FUCKING YGGDRASIL!]]''''']]

* MadScientist/ MadArtist: [[spoiler:[[MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikerS Jail Scaglietti,]] in his cameos, considers himself a bit of both.]]

** [[spoiler:Toward ''StrikerS'']]Amaterasu warns Nanoha about [[HeroicRROD danger of exhausting her magic]] [[HonorBeforeReason just for the sake of making her enemies listen to her.]]

** [[CombatMedic Shamal]] in chapter 37. [[spoiler:In her fight with Kiyohime, she shows how a CombatMedic can tank damage in the first part. In second part, she shows why [[MythologyGag she's the only one]] [[Awesome/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs who was able to sucker-punch Nanoha in]] ''[[MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs A's]]''.]] BewareTheNiceOnes, indeed.

* RightHandVersusLeftHand: The TSAB's inner workings. Rather, to borrow a description used for [[{{Halo}} the UNSC's Office of Naval Intelligence]], "here, the right hand doesn't even know the left hand exists".

Not to be confused with the tabletop wargame ''[[TabletopGame/{{Infinity}} Infinity]]'' or ''InfinityTheQuestForEarth''.

* NamedWeapons: The current batch of villains continue the series trend of having named Intelligent Devices, with Raijin for Susanoo, Suijin for Tsukuyomi and Kagutsuchi for Ameterasu. [[Spoiler: Followed later by Mjolnir for Thor, Gungnir for Odin, and Hela for Loki.]]

* MasterOfIllusion: Tsukuyomi. [[Spoiler: And much later, her mentor, Loki.]]

* FantasticNuke: [[spoiler:Tears of Al Hazard. Bonus point for [[NuclearWeaponsTaboo being such a scary weapon]] that no leader of Infinity Empire, [[EveryoneHasStandards sane or not,]] dare to used it. Until recently.]]

* HiddenDepths: Chapter 38-41 shows this for Guardian Units. Including [[AnythingThatMoves Amaterasu.]] [[spoiler:''[[TheLostLenore Especially]]'' [[BrokenBird Amaterasu.]]]]

* HypocriticalHumor/ {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:In chapter 36, when rescuing Nanoha and Fate, Signum and Vita accused Susanoo and Tsukuyomi of dishonorable behavior for fighting a duel against significantly weaker mages and [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown going all out,]] which is not terribly different than how they themselves acted during points of A's. What makes this more ironic is that their reasoning is practically the same (to save their loved ones).]]
* InnocentBystander: [[NeverHurtAnInnocent Every combatant involves actively avoid this.]]

* LimitBreak: Guardians unit's Final Drive, which giving its user notable boost. [[spoiler:[[LightningBruiser Amaterasu]] become more [[MagicEnhancement faster, stronger,]] and ''[[EvilIsBurningHot hotter]]'' , [[GlassCannon Tsukuyomi]] [[TimeToUnlockMoreTruePotential unlocked more spells]], while for [[UnskilledButStrong Susanoo]], he gets [[BoxingLessonsForSuperman boxing lesson,]] [[DontExplainTheJoke so to speak.]]]]

* MadScientist/ MadArtist: [[spoiler:[[MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikerS Jail]] [[FauxAffablyEvil Scaglietti]] considers himself ''both''.]]

* MasterOfIllusion: Tsukuyomi.

* MeleeATrois: Between [[TheFederation TSAB proper]] and [[TheRemnant Infinity Empire]] [[spoiler:and [[OutsideContextVillain Sec]][[WellIntentionedExtremist tion]] [[RightHandVersusLeftHand Black]].]]

* NamedWeapons: The current batch of villains continue the series trend of having named Intelligent Devices, with Raijin for Susanoo, Suijin for Tsukuyomi and Kagutsuchi for Ameterasu.

* NoodleIncident: A few casual instances, but a particularly plot-centric one in [[spoiler: Arf's assault of a prisoner she and Yuuno were interrogating, and the beauricratic fallout that ensues.]]

* NothingCanStopUsNow: Miss [[spoiler:Enlil]], there's thing called EvilOverlordList. [[SincerityMode Would you like to read it and giving it some thoughts?]] And, yes, Mrs. [[spoiler:Precia]], [[LoveMakesYouEvil I know you don't aspire to be Evil Overlord.]] I still think it would be a good material reading for- [[spoiler:[[KilledMidSentence *got electrocuted*]]]]

** [[spoiler:With Susanoo grows more and more grimly determined, Tsukuyomi starts taking this position.]]
* PantyShot: In chapter 22 (or 23 by FF.net's numbering), [[spoiler: Vita accidentally provides one for Susanoo. HilarityEnsues.]]

* ThePowerOfTheSun: [[spoiler:What Amaterasu claim her power is at the peak of her power,]]
* [[spoiler: PsychoElectro: Precia's back. And as the story goes on, Susanoo shows a certain unstable side himself...]]

** Maybe unintentional, but when Vita checking Nanoha and Tsukuyomi post-battle in chapter 39, [[spoiler:she's wondering out loud since when Nanoha [[PlayingWithFire putting her enemies on fire.]] If you plays ''TheBattleOfAces'' or reads ''Fanfic/BloodThatFlows'', you'll get the joke.]]

* SpiritedCompetitor: Susanoo, who loves to fight, but finds it distasteful to actually ''hurt'' anyone, and is especially apologetic for having done so to [[spoiler: Hayate]].
** Recent chapters appear to clarify that he doesn't really mind if he puts people in the hospital so long as he does it 'fairly'. His definition of the term, that is. The trope is also deconstructed somewhat in the same, since while he's not nearly as bad as [[BloodKnight Ammy]], he's still kind of a nut bar.

** No, Ammy, there's nothing weird. You just slipped on your foot because the floor is slippery and you accidentally hit your head, making you unconscious, that's all. [[spoiler: There's no one hitting you in the head with FryingPanOfDoom.]] And [[TriangleHeart3SweetSongsForever Shiro is just a normal baker, certainly not a skilled bodyguard with beyond military training]] so he ''definitely'' wouldn't dare to try to attack you for ''any'' reasons [[spoiler:[[PapaWolf Even if you try to strangle his daughter]]]].

* TemptingFate: [[spoiler: Chrono at the end of chapter 5.]] The author also loves to let characters start enjoying peace, smooth sailing or a good mood, only to be utterly screwed next sentence. Or even in the same sentence.
--->"Teleport functioning as expected, Admiral. Transmission away, and not a sign of interference from THOSE BASTARDS!" Amy suddenly shrieked. "How did they do that? How did they do that? I hate them I hate them I hate them!"
** The inversion also works, characters expecting action to come in short course... [[BreatherEpisode while nothing happened for several days]].
** One of the glorious application of this is applied to ''[[spoiler:[[BigBad Enlil]]]]'', of all people.

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Amaterasu, just before Nanoha unleashes a desperate, brand-new attack.
** Also when Vita got mad and ready to clobber her. [[MythologyGag It's what she gets for touching the hat.]]
** Quoted by Vita when discussing their chance of succeeds.

* {{Troperiffic}}: If it's a meme or trope associated with the Nanoha series, you can bet the author will take it an run with it. Considering he has admitted in author's notes that he is aware this page exists ''and'' he occasionally edits it, that's probably to be expected.

* TwoScenesOneDialogue: Between Chrono's taskforce, Susa and Tsuku[[spoiler:, and Section Black operatives]]

* UnskilledButStrong: Susanoo. [[spoiler:His [[LimitBreak Final Drive]] simply [[BoxingLessonsForSuperman makes controlling them easier]]. Because of it, he saw it as BoringButPractical, emphasis on "Boring".]]

* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: Lindy seems to be DangerouslyGenreSavvy enough about this.
** And Amy finally [[TaughtByExperience get on it]]. Hayate, [[CosplayOtakuGirl bless her]], [[GenreBlind still not understand it.]]

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:According to a reviewer, [[OnlySaneMan Chrono]] [[NiceJobBreakingItHero has screwed]] in two occasions where [[WarriorTherapist Nanoha]] [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath could talk at least one enemy into their side.]] Basically, he's taking the role of [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Rossiu,]] trying to solve the problem and making it worse by being WrongGenreSavvy.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: Enlil had a big one after Lindy shot down her proposal to make the TSAB stand down and allow the worlds it administrates to come under her rule, while implying that Enlil would be no better than a tyrant by forcibly taking over the worlds that didn't want her interference. After coming to the "realization" that Al Hazard's name isn't considered remotely threatening anymore, this is Enlil's response:]]
-->[[spoiler:"...I am ordering the Al Sethis defense grid be reconfigured, immediately, to release the Tears of Al Hazard on the world of Midchilda. As soon as a targeting solution can be acquired." Enlil said. Her voice could have made icicles form on the table, if one didn't get the sense the chill was very, very much an illusion covering the explosion taking place beneath. "She wishes to remind me that Al Hazard no longer exists? I think I owe her nothing less than to ''show her why.''"]]

** Vita and Nanoha. [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Vita]] loves to snark at and tease to Nanoha, which Nanoha, [[ChildrenAreInnocent understandably,]] [[DoesNotUnderstandSarcasm can't stand.]] [[ChronicHeroSyndrome Nanoha's]] [[HonorBeforeReason habit]] [[LeeroyJenkins of putting herself in danger]] [[AngerBornOfWorry also didn't really sit well with Vita.]] But if one is in danger, the other is quick to help.
** [[spoiler:[[MadScientist Jail]] [[MadArtist Scaglietti]] and [[CloakAndDagger Section Black's]] [[WellIntentionedExtremist Director]], of VillainousFriendship type.]] Although, [[spoiler:for the most of the time, the "best bud" part is (mostly) all on Jail's mind, the Director considers him, at best, as TheFriendNobodyLikes.]]

* WeakButSkilled: Chrono.
---> '''Susanoo''': You have the control to set up a bind that can nullify even my strength, and you can do it when you're wounded and taking hits, while casting other combat magic at the same time? I'd say you're one of those 'monsters' yourself.
** [[spoiler: He learnt his style from Lindy. Now imagine how much better Lindy is. Or just read chapter 25. Damn.]]

* WeaponOfMassDestruction: The "Tears of Al-Hazred" are strongly implied to be one. [[spoiler:It is eventually revealed that the 'planet' of Al-Sethis is actually a planet-sized FTL-capable artificial construct, and the "Tears" involve repurposing its propulsion systems as a super-sized dimensional distortion weapon, akin to the Arc-en-Ciel used by the TSAB but '''''FAR''''' larger and more powerful. If used on Midchilda, the ''best''-case scenario would be the entire planet being wiped from existence and swallowed by / reduced to the Dimensional Sea. The ''worst''-case is that it would set off a chain-reaction engulfing multiple dimensions and ''collapse half of reality''.]]

** Of course, in case of Nanoha, it's ''[[CrowningMomentOfFunny accidental]]'' [[CrowningMomentOfFunny snark]].
* WorthyOpponent: Susanoo likes finding these and considers... basically every canon character her fights to be one, eventually.

* LimitBreak: Guardians unit's Final Drive, which giving its user notable boost. [[spoiler:[[LightningBruiser Amaterasu]] become more [[StatusBuff faster and stronger]], [[GlassCannon Tsukuyomi]] [[TimeToUnlockMorePotential unlocked more spells]], while for [[UnskilledButStrong Susanoo]], he gets [[BoxingLessonsForSuperman boxing lesson,]] [[DontExplainTheJoke so to speak.]]]]

* PlayingWithFire: Signum and Amaterasu.

* NothingCanStopUsNow: Miss [[spoiler:Enlil]], there's thing called EvilOverlordList. [[SarcasmMode Would you like to read it and giving it some thoughts?]] And, yes, Mrs. [[spoiler:Precia]], [[LoveMakesYouEvil I know you don't aspire to be Evil Overlord.]] I still think it would be a good material reading for- [[spoiler:[[KilledMidSentence *got electrocuted*]]]]

* DramaticEllipsis: A good indicator that Chrono is about to blow a fuse.

** [[spoiler:[[MadScientist Jail]] [[MadArtist Scaglietti]] and [[CloakAndDagger Section Black's]] [[WellIntentionedExtremist Director]], of VillainousFriendship type.]] Although, [[spoiler:for the most of the time, the "best bud" part is (mostly) all on Jail's mind, the Director considers him, at best, as TheFriendThatNobodyLikes.]]

** In recent chapters, as we delve more into their characters, they also shown traits of the other characters, like [[spoiler:[[FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya Miyu]]]] for Tukuyomi, and [[spoiler:{{LiveActionTV/Dexter}}]] for Susanoo

-->[[TheGlovesAreOff She just gets less friendly.]]

-->"Shhhhhhhhh! If she explains the plan, [[WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong it takes all the magic out of it,]]" Amy said cheerfully. "Trust me, [[GenreSavvy I've worked out the process]] [[TaughtByExperience by this point.]]"

* ReiAyanamiExpy: Tsukuyomi. [[TheStoic stoic]], [[TheSpock keeps her emotions suppressed]], exceedingly polite, intelligent and deadpan {{Cloudcuckoolander}} whose honesty extends to openly [[MoreExpendableThanYou considering herself expendable]]. Like the rest of the team, [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair she also has blue hair]].
