History Fanfic / Infinity

* BadassBoast: Chapter 31, Amaterasu to [[spoiler:Yggdrasil.]]

* BerserkButton: Amaterasu finds [[NiceHat Vita's]] by [[OhCrap immolation]].
--->''After narrowly avoiding getting Gigant-Hammered...''
--->'''Amaterasu:''' In the name of every god there ever was, ''the hat will grow back!''
--->'''Vita:''' ''It's the principle of the thing!''

** Also when [[TheOptimist Nanoha]] realizes [[ThisIsGonnaSuck how much odds are stacked against them.]]

* ShoutOut: One of Tsukuyomi's more powerful and intelligent summons is a serpentine humanoid named [[MaiHIME Kiyohime]], with an attack called [[SoulEater Vector Arrow]]. Granted, Kiyohime is a PublicDomainCharacter, but the other one is unmistakable.

** Enlil [[spoiler: has the exact problem Hayate has. She's extremely powerful wielding the height of technomagical weaponry but her spells are slow casting and she's leader not a warrior.]]

** No, Ammy, there's nothing weird. You just tripped because the floor is slippery and hit your head. [[spoiler: Nobody hit you with a 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]]]].

* TacticalRockPaperScissors: [[spoiler: Loki and Thor are respectively Tsukiyomi and Susanoo but stronger and more specialized. They were originally defeated by exploiting this. Tsukiyomi took down Thor whose sheer power is less useful against her illusions while Susanoo destroyed everyone in a giant radius screw Loki's illusions. In the modern day, they don't have this match up]]

** Enlil [[spoiler: has the exact problem Hayate has. She's extremely powerful wielding the height of technomagical weaponry but her spells are slow casting and she relies too much on her weapon's power and defense (they're kinda wasted on her)]]

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Mid-Childa is saved, Nanoha "befriended" Enlil and Section Black is disbanded. However, Al Sethis is sent back to the void with the 3 Guardians, Enlil (now the last of her empire) is lost and alone, Section Black remain {{Karma Houdini}}s and Jail Scaglietti is on track for StrikerS]]

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Mid-Childa is saved, Nanoha "befriended" Enlil and Section 6 is disbanded. However, Al Sethis is sent back to the void with the 3 Guardians, Enlil (now the last of her empire) is lost and alone, Section 6 remain {{Karma Houdini}}s and Jail Scaglietti is on track for StrikerS]]

What follows is a story that manages to pull off being both hilarious and yet suitably dramatic, with equal parts action and humor (ocassionaly drawn from CharacterExaggeration born from [[MemeticMutation memes]] and [[MythologyGag series in-jokes]])) and makes them ''work''. Even better, it features all the main characters from the first two seasons prominently, and gives them all chances to shine quite brilliantly; even a character or two from the third season get a cameo appearance. Can be found [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5144486/1/Infinity here]].

There is also a spin-off fic taking place in the same 'verse. "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9485532/1/Fate-T-Harlaown-and-the-Case-of-the-Murderous-Murder Fate T. Harlaown and the Case of the Murderous Murder]]" takes place some point after ''[=StrikerS=]'', and involves Fate and Teana being sent to investigate the mysterious death of a planetary governor. However, Susanoo decides to join in and 'help' with the investigation in his own special way. Soon, the trio get embroiled in a complex plot of intrigue, numerous suspects, and names (such as kindly old Dr. von-Murder and his wildly successful line of household robotic servants called [=KillBots=]) that apparently "[[RunningGag mean something different in the local language]]".

* ShutUpHannibal: Lindy delivers a beautiful one to Enlil's attempt to inspire a FaceHeelTurn by stating how corrupt the TSAB is. Even Vita is impressed.

A ''LyricalNanoha'' fanfic-in-progress written by [[Tropers/{{Moczo}} Andy Moczo]] (author of the pure crack that is ''FanFic/UninvitedGuests'') taking a shot at writing an action story. Set between the second and third seasons of the ''Nanoha'' anime, ''Infinity'' is a story that, in the author's own words, [[AlternateUniverseFic 'plays fast and loose with canon']] by inserting an entire new major case into a time when canonically nothing happened, yet still makes a fair effort to remain OriginalFlavor.

Be warned, however: as the story has entered its climax, it has begun updating ''extremely'' infrequently; a conservative estimate would be one chapter every ''six months''.

** [[spoiler: Brilliantly subverted in the climatic StormingTheCastle]]

* SitcomArchnemesis: Some of the stuff Enlil does to Precia in Chapter 30 is just silly.

* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Hayate due to not being fully combat trained, not having a fully developed Unison Device and having too much power only knows giant slow cast AOE spells. Her fight against Precia and the robot boils down to "How can I cast quickly and creatively use giant AOE attacks?".

** Not to mention [[spoiler:What Yggdrasil did to Enlil's mind.]]

* FullCircleRevolution: [[spoiler: The Infinite Empire. They started as an [[LaResistance alliance of worlds]] who rebelled against Al-Hazard because the Thought Lords conquered worlds at magepoint and subjected the losers to horrific unethical experiments. Then they succeeded and .... become an empire that conquered worlds at magepoint and (it's hinted) that subjected conquered worlds to unethical experiments.]]

* HumanityIsInfectious: Amaterasu, believe it or not, was as TheStoic, very much like Signum. Spending a few months with humans allowed her to develop her LovableSexManiac personality.

* GoodThingYouCanHeal: Signum. Shamal worries that she and Vita are much too used to it.

* MythologicalAndReligiousThemeNaming: Tsukuyomi, Susanoo, and Ameterasu are named after Shinto gods. This is pointed out in-universe.
** [[spoiler: They also had two sets of older siblings who where named after Norse and Greek gods.]]

There is also a spin-off fic taking place in the same 'verse. "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9485532/1/Fate-T-Harlaown-and-the-Case-of-the-Murderous-Murder Fate T. Harlaown and the Case of the Murderous Murder]]" takes place some point after ''[=StrikerS=]'', and involves Fate and Teana being sent to investigate the mysterious death of a planetary governor.

---> Arisa: We could sell tickets. Combat therapy. Nanoha will smack you around for five minutes, and then all your problems will just solve themselves.
---> Fate: It's not that simple, Arisa. She also asks what you're trying to do, and then she offers to be your friend.

-->''"YouMonster"''!

** Vita and Nanoha. [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Vita]] loves to snark at and tease to Nanoha, which Nanoha, understandably, can't sand. Nanoha's ChronicHeroSyndrome and HonorBeforeReason habits also [[AngerBornOfWorry don't really sit well with Vita.]] But if one is in danger, the other is quick to help.

--> '''Amaterasu:''' [[spoiler:"You ask me to do my ''worst''? You delusional pocket calculator, '''''you have never seen my worst'''''."]]
