Changed line(s) 4,11 (click to see context) from:
* ''Princess'': A one-shot following a werewolf version of Ariadne Granger completing the third task of the Triwizard tournament.
* ''Conflicting Schedules'': Originally intended to be a one-shot, this side fic focuses on Ariadne becoming a werewolf and sustaining moderate nerve damage during the first task of the Triwizard Tournament. Unlike ''Princess,'' where that version of Ariadne uses the third task to reveal that she's a werewolf, this version of Ariadne tries to get it rescheduled, inadvertently tells Cornelius Fudge, and is both outed and expelled from Hogwarts, along with Ron.
* ''The Woes of Ectothermy'': A main story canon piece, which introduces a new character - Vanya, an eight year old recently turned vampire. She is taken in by a woman calling herself Tiffany, and is assisted by an official from a Ministry department the name of which is redacted as it would spoil future events in Kaleidoscopic Grangers (as of when The Woes of Ectothermy was published).
* ''A Litter of Problems'': Described as "a crackfic taken seriously," and diverges from ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers'' during Chapter 261, ''Blue.'' Instead of remaining outside away from Blue, clearly, Ariadne and Hermione were in direct contact with Blue over the full moon, and because Blue - inheriting the knowledge from Ron - recognized Hermione as his mate, he affectionately started licking her face. As a result, Hermione became a werewolf, and over the next full moon, neither of them had Wolfsbane Potion. The pair didn't think about how their wolves would interact, and their feral forms mated, resulting in Hermione being pregnant with a litter of four puppies.
* ''Little Red Riding Hood'': A main story canon piece, which tacks on after Chapter 252, ''Dream On'' and follows Ron's perspective during the first night he and Hermione sleep together. It is explicit and has a brief sex scene.
* ''This is the Night'': An alternate universe story where Ginny got infected with lycanthropy as well as Ron - it goes over her first transformation and then an overview of much of her life after it.
* ''Rock n Roll Suicide'': A small spinoff piece written while ''Fanfic/BirdsOfAFeatherKaleidoscopicGrangers'' was being written. The piece diverges from ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers'' in Chapter 230, ''The World is Grey,'' where when Hermione goes looking for Ariadne when she's late to Herbology, instead of finding Ariadne crying, she finds Ariadne dead after having committed suicide, and having become a ghost.
* ''The Forest of Dean'': A small spinoff piece written to explore the concept of KG!Hermione being bitten by Fenrir Greyback while on the camping trip to the Forest of Dean mentioned in Chapter 244, ''Winding Up,'' of ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers.'' It begins in 1998 when Hermione is bitten, and then skips ahead to Hermione's first transformation as a werewolf before skipping to 2001 when Hermione turns eleven and is visited by Professor [=McGonagall=]. It is described by the author as "playing the highlights" due to its time skips.
* ''Conflicting Schedules'': Originally intended to be a one-shot, this side fic focuses on Ariadne becoming a werewolf and sustaining moderate nerve damage during the first task of the Triwizard Tournament. Unlike ''Princess,'' where that version of Ariadne uses the third task to reveal that she's a werewolf, this version of Ariadne tries to get it rescheduled, inadvertently tells Cornelius Fudge, and is both outed and expelled from Hogwarts, along with Ron.

!!Tropes in these fics:
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:Princess]]
* AlternateTimeline: In this timeline, Ariadne became a werewolf before the Triwizard Tournament, however little of note appears to have changed about her story until the Third Task.
* AnimalAthleteLoophole: When Princess wins the Triwizard Tournament in her wolf form, Minister Fudge is reminded that there is no rule against a transformed werewolf winning the Tournament.
* BloodSplatteredWarrior: Princess (Ariadne's wolf form) gets showered in the blood of both an Acromantula and a Blast-Ended Skrewt over the course of the piece, as she fights them physically with her claws and teeth as opposed to spells in the main fic.
* MyInstinctsAreShowing: Ariadne, in this fic, allows herself to growl and express being a werewolf around those who know, before revealing herself to the entire world by winning as Princess.
* OhCrap: Princess gets very near to biting Cedric Diggory before Cedric's panic makes her realize she is being affected by the maze's mental effect, which causes her to react with fear as she watches it release her.
* PainfulTransformation: Ariadne transforms into Princess during the piece, and the lycanthropic transformation is depicted as being incredibly painful, and details such as the alterations to her spine, limbs, hips, skull, and lungs are described.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Conflicting Schedules]]
* AffectionateNickname: In the same moment an InSeriesNickname, the banner Hermione and Ginny hold says "ARIADNE GRANGER: THE #1 WHITE-EYED WEREWOLF" instead of "ARIADNE GRANGER: THE #1 TRIWIZARD CHAMPION" which it says in Kaleidoscopic Grangers.
* AlternateTimeline: In this timeline, Ariadne was accidentally infected with lycanthropy by Ron on his first full moon, and as a result of the Triwizard Tasks being on full moons, she has not done as well in the Tournament, suffering permanent nerve damage in the First Task. How she completed the second is unspecified. Ariadne attempts to get the Third Task, which would fall during a time she would transform during, rescheduled, and ends up outed to the entire Wizarding world and expelled from Hogwarts.
* DarkSecret: The premise of the spin-off is a werewolf version of Ariadne trying to hide what she is, and failing.
* InSeriesNickname: see AffectionateNickname.
* InterspeciesFriendship: Fleur Delacour's friendship with Ron applies also to Ariadne here, where their shared inhumanity is a point of bonding - Fleur repeats her main fic line of "us non-humans have to stick together," and remarks that the third task of the Triwizard Tournament, where she and Ariadne ally as joint Beauxbatons champions, is humans versus nonhumans.
* BodySnatcher: In Chapter 5, ''Restless Nights,'' Ariadne gets a dream, much like she does in the main fic in the start of her fourth year, but this dream is of Voldemort usurping the body of someone who comes across Marvolo Gaunt's Ring in its hiding place via the ring itself. [[spoiler:Voldemort is pleasantly surprised to find it is Albus Dumbledore whose body and therefore identity he has usurped, before Ariadne wakes up, forgetting the dream.]]
* MeaningfulName: In Chapter 4, ''Princess' Birthday,'' Ariadne chooses to call her wolf Princess, because her family often call her that, and she first named herself after a princess.
* MyInstinctsAreShowing: After being outed, Ariadne is extremely open about being a werewolf, including brawling with Vincent Crabbe for calling her "a broken mutt someone needs to put down."
* OffTheRails: This version of the story completely breaks the storyline which Kaleidoscopic Grangers follows by resulting in Voldemort not returning in a manner Ariadne witnesses, and the New Marauders leaving Hogwarts to attend Beauxbatons in the 2005-2006 school year onward.
* PainfulTransformation: Much like ''Princess,'' Chapter 4, ''Princess' Birthday'' (which is technically canon for ''Princess'' as well, as ''Conflicting Schedules'' diverges from it during the first Triwizard Task) describes a lycanthropic transformation - in this case, Ariadne's first. She is in so much pain she cannot process it, and it describes her change being down to the cellular level.
* ScarsAreForever: Ariadne has numerous permanent scars due to her injuries in the Triwizard Tournament as well as being a werewolf. In Chapter 2, ''One Door Opens,'' it is elaborated on that Ariadne acquired lycanthropy from Ron by accident, and in Chapter 4, ''Princess' Birthday,'' this is properly described as a cut up her right forearm she sustained on Ron's first full moon, where unlike ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers,'' they went with him.
* SuperWheelchair: Ariadne uses a wheelchair augmented with broomstick enchantments which is capable of flight.
* WaistcoatOfStyle: Ron is stated to be very stylish in his Beauxbatons uniform, which includes a waistcoat, and it's stated that he is "quite handsome" wearing it.
* WhamEpisode: Arguably, Chapter 1, ''Conflicting Schedules'' (which was originally the entire fic before the author decided it was an interesting enough premise to continue).
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Woes of Ectothermy]]
* BadassAdorable: Vanya looks eight years old, and will for the rest of her life, but she is an ambush predator and even when inexperienced and running on instinct, she is capable of relatively effective hunting. Arguably a KillerRabbit.
* ContinuityNod: Jeremy Paddison is mentioned in Chapter 230 of Kaleidoscopic Grangers, ''The World Is Grey,'' which was released after ''The Woes of Ectothermy.'' When he is mentioned in ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers,'' he is still in his seventh year at Hogwarts.
* FingerTwitchingRevival: Tiffany and Jeremy notice Vanya is indeed alive seeing her twitch. A vampire in torpor is difficult to distinguish from one that is dead, and the pair were unsure if Vanya was alive.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Vanya is a vampire. ''The Woes of Ectothermy'' also sets up what vampires are in the Kaleidoscopic Grangers universe.
** Vampires in ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers'' are not undead; they are ectothermic humanoid hematophages, although one can become one through the same methods as in popular culture. However, when recently turned, they can seem dead, and are often buried by non-magical peers, which can lead to trauma.
** They do not need to consume human blood, as any hemoglobin based blood will do, however they can, and Vanya could be described with the VegetarianVampire trope as she actively avoids doing so even when starving in the opening to ''The Woes of Ectothermy.'' Solid food makes them sick.
** Nor do ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers'' vampires have a MissingReflection. Vanya figures out she is a vampire seeing her fangs in her reflection.
** They are LongLived, living for approximately four hundred years according to Jeremy Paddison.
** Vampires are vulnerable to the cold, as ectotherms, and can fall into a state called torpor if they get too cold - in this state, they are effectively hibernating involuntarily. If warmed from this state, they wake up again, but they can still freeze to death, and torpor can be indistinguishable from death.
** TheAgeless: Vampires do not age - Vanya will appear to be eight years old for the rest of her LongLived life.
** VoluntaryShapeshifting: Although Vanya does not know how to control it, this is seen in her accidentally giving herself fur once to try to stave off the cold.
** WeakenedByTheLight: Inverted. Vampires in Kaleidoscopic Grangers are not harmed by sunlight, but are vulnerable to the cold as ectothermic life forms. They require external sources of heat, and might even be found basking in the sun for this reason.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:A Litter of Problems]]
* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: In Chapter 4, ''As Sure as Day Returns to Night,'' Hermione undergoes her transformation without Wolfsbane potion, as taking it would risk her health while she is pregnant. In this, she becomes her wolf - which she named Andromache. However, the AlternateIdentityAmnesia is not total. Though Andromache does not remember anything of substance from Hermione, she does seem to have a very similar personality, and seems to exhibit some signs of Hermione's autism. She even remembers things that are important to her, such as the fact that Ron is her mate and that the Burrow is home. She does not, however, recognize the other werewolves, nor does she recognize what's happening to Ron, which results in her being very concerned when Ron has his own lycanthropic transformation.\\
The end notes for the chapter state that Andromache is still Hermione, she's just lacking the context and knowledge Hermione benefits from, and her priorities are a little different.
* AlternateTimeline: In this timeline, Ariadne and Hermione were in physical contact with Blue during Chapter 260, ''Blue,'' and Hermione became a werewolf. The Battle of Hogwarts took place a month later than in ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers,'' and Hermione found herself pregnant with puppies.
* BigEater: Justified, both in that Hermione now has an enhanced metabolism that requires this, but also that she is eating for five.
* ContinuityNod: Just like in ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers,'' Ariadne goes and visits Nymphadora's newborn baby a week before the full moon on the 20th of April, as she does in Chapter 289, ''A New Life,'' of the main fic.
* BrainsAndBondage: ''[=ALoP=]: Chapter 9.5: The Memory'' confirms that Hermione is pretty kinky - she has previously "sold Ron on bondage and strap-ons." And this is the timeline where, at that point in the story, their sex life got cut in half by Hermione getting pregnant!
* ExpressDelivery: Hermione's pregnancy is progressing faster than a human one, and is estimated to last for four months in Chapter 1, ''The Ultrasound.'' Justified in that lupine pregnancies only last two months and compared to actual wolves, it is the LongestPregnancyEver.
* FamilyThemeNaming: Hermione's puppies continue the theme Ariadne and she established by both having Greek names - the puppies are Artemis, Calliope, Cerberus, and Ariadne II.
* FeelingTheBabyKick: Hermione finds her four puppies to be rather active inside of her, which she [[HandOnWomb uses to help ease the news to Molly]] that not only is there more than one infant, there are four.
* GoodIsNotSoft: In this version of events, it was Hermione, not Ron, who killed Fenrir Greyback for attacking Parvati and Lavender. And she did it with her bare hands and teeth.
* HatesBeingTouched: Hermione is autistic and so HatesBeingTouched, especially when overwhelmed which she practically is constantly in her state in this piece. This conflicts with her new werewolf instincts, which make her want closeness.
* MamaBear:
** Valerie, as in the main story, is very protective of her daughters, and goes so far as to threaten a Healer at Saint Mungo's with the House of Granger's political power should they even slightly leak why Hermione is there.
** Hermione is very protective of her puppies, even before they are born, and isn't pleased when Molly has to take them to weigh them.
* MorningSickness: Hermione spends an hour in the morning of Chapter 2, ''Mama Wolf'' "keeping as much of the last night’s dinner down as she could."
* MyInstinctsAreShowing: Hermione growls and whines like a wolf a few times in the fic, and flashes her teeth at Ron when she is stressed.
* MySecretPregnancy: Hermione avoids letting anyone outside of the family know that she is pregnant, due to the nature of the pregnancy being likely to attract nation-wide ridicule given how famous her family is.
* MysticalPregnancy: Because both Ron and Hermione were in their wolf forms during conception, Hermione's offspring are puppies instead of human(oid).
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Hermione and Ron already agreed before the puppies were born that the youngest female puppy would be named after her aunt... and is named Ariadne II. Molly tells Ariadne she probably won't be the last child named after her, which Ariadne isn't happy about.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Hermione killed Fenrir Greyback with her bare hands according to the outline of the events that led to ''A Litter of Problems,'' but this is not shown.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Hermione is one, and the fic goes into how a pair of wolf-form werewolves mating will result in lupine offspring, and the health and societal problems that ensue. Because of how ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers'' handles lycanthropic AlternateIdentityAmnesia and/or IdentityAmnesia (things that are important or of note can bleed through in both directions), Hermione can in fact remember the conception of the puppies "in far more detail than she wanted to," even though their memories of those nights are fragmentary, and finds it quite embarrassing.
* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Hermione names her wolf Andromache, which is a joke on the original mythology of her own namesake; Hermione blamed Andromache for making her ''barren,'' the opposite of what the story's Hermione blames her Andromache for, which is getting her pregnant in the first place.
* ShoutOut:
** In Chapter 1, ''The Ultrasound,'' Hermione remembers Theoden saying "no parent should ever have to bury their child" from the ''Lord of the Rings'' movies.
** Chapter 3, ''Behold My Future,'' is named after a lyric to the theme tune of the TV show Series/{{Wolfblood}}.
** In Chapter 3, ''Behold My Future,'' Hermione hums ''Roads Go Ever On,'' a walking song from the Lord of the Rings.
** Chapter 4, ''As Sure as Day Returns to Night,'' is also named after a lyric from the Wolfblood theme song.
* ShownTheirWork: Lampshaded in the notes that the author used the Wayback Machine to check the Wikipedia page for Wolf was accurate to the in-universe date.
* TeenPregnancy: Hermione is nineteen, and due to having taken a gap year, also still hasn't finished Hogwarts.
* TheClan: Rather amusingly, because Hermione is the oldest daughter of Dennis and Valerie, she's the heir to the House of Granger, and her eldest child after her is next. As a result, technically, the heir to the House of Granger is ''Lady'' Artemis Granger, a wolf.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Little Red Riding Hood]]
* AdaptationExpansion: ''Little Red Riding Hood'' follows a scene only implied to have taken place in ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers.''
* BrainsAndBondage: Though Hermione says she doesn't herself enjoy being tied up as it reminds her of when she was Petrified by the Basilisk, she is quick to suggest seeing if Ron likes it later.
* CallBack: There are a few of these - In the new context of knowing Hermione loved him, Ron wonders how much happier he would have been if it had been Hermione to kiss him in Chapter 208, ''When All the World is Warm and Tired,'' and how he would have gone to Professor Slughorn's party in Chapter 211, ''Polite Conversation,'' as Red in a pink bowed collar if she'd asked (the party was on a full moon night). Hermione calls back to Chapter 101, ''Correspondence, Clairvoyance, Aches and Pains,'' when Sally-Anne pointed out her accelerated puberty due to time travel, and says the attention was uncomfortable. There is also a small CallBack to Chapter 154, ''Safe House,'' when Ron says that Hermione makes him feel more like a person sometimes; he alluded to this previously, telling Remus that Hermione can hear high pitched noises too, implying this makes it less unpleasant for him.
* ConfessionTriggersConsummation: Ariadne's suspicion that Hermione and Ron were a case of this in ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers'' is confirmed in ''Little Red Riding Hood.''
* ContinuityNod: As per Chapter 253, ''Founders' Effects,'' Hermione is having trouble sleeping during this piece. Additionally, Hermione uses a Muffling Charm exactly as Ariadne had suspected. Hermione mentions thinking she might be short-sighted which is later confirmed when she gets glasses between Chapters 288 and 289, and she says she'll go and brew contraceptives; Ariadne notices that she's been doing so in Chapter 260, ''Shire. Baggins.''
* EyesAlwaysAverted: Both Ron and Hermione in this piece do not make eye contact, and it is explained as being because Hermione is autistic and finds it socially intense while Ron, as a werewolf, can sometimes see eye contact as hostile.
* TheImmodestOrgasm: It's not stated if Hermione actually has an orgasm, but she is fairly vocal and preemptively casts a Muffling Charm knowing she can be.
* InterspeciesRomance: Ron is a werewolf, Hermione is human. Hermione is conscious of this and does her best to accommodate any ways this may manifest in how he behaves toward her, including sexually.
* MustNotDieAVirgin: Hermione invokes this trope as a 'just in case,' as being fugitives does mean the pair could die.
* MythologyGag: Hermione acknowledging the danger inherent in her getting pregnant, let alone having children, could be considered such a gag given the existence of ''A Litter of Problems.''
* MyInstinctsAreShowing: Hermione is accommodating of the several ways Ron's instincts as a werewolf come up during the piece.\\
First, he tends to rub his cheek on her shoulder in an attempt to scent mark her; he is originally embarrassed when this is pointed out, but Hermione says it's fine and he resumes doing it.\\
His instincts also come up during the brief sex scene; Hermione goes out of her way to ask if he would prefer a position where he is behind her due to these instincts (which it is implied is the case), and afterwards Hermione realises he has the ''instinct'' to remain tied with her out of a canine expectation they be so, but not any physical manifestation of an actual knot. In his mind, it feels like what he should do, but Hermione points out that he's instinctively trying to ensure she gets pregnant. He is startled by this and immediately pulls out, but she assures him that because she will be making and taking a morning-after potion, there is no practically greater risk to him obliging that instinct and that she doesn't mind.
* NaughtyByNight: Hermione is unequivocally shown to be so, surprising Ron with the fact she masturbates regularly and has a surprisingly comprehensive list of things she likes and doesn't like for someone who says she doesn't have a ''comprehensive'' list. She just doesn't often mention this side of herself, as the only person she felt she could be open with aside from Ron himself was Ariadne - her sister.
* NerdsAreSexy: Ron finds Hermione's ability to be just as much a nerd as usual even in the prelude to sex very attractive.
* PostCoitalCollapse: Ron gently pushes so he and Hermione fall sideways into a cuddle after the sex.
* ShoutOut:
** Hermione paraphrases Samwise Gamgee's speech on 'some good in this world worth fighting for' from Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheTwoTowers.
** Ron invokes erotic readings of Literature/LittleRedRidingHood - Hermione doesn't immediately realise he's flirting and discusses the Brothers Grimm version of the story and how she doesn't want him skinned or drowned, before realising what he'd meant. The piece itself is named for this.
* SmellsSexy: Ron can smell that Hermione is aroused.
* TheirFirstTime: ''Little Red Riding Hood'' goes over Ron and Hermione's first time having sex, as a counterpart to ''We Could Be Heroes'' for Ariadne and Ginny.
* TheNoseKnows: Ron's nose, as he is a werewolf, is so sensitive he can smell the change to Hermione's scent when she is aroused.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: The first large chunk of the piece is Ron and Hermione almost competitively giving each other this speech.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:This Is the Night]]
* AdaptationExpansion: ''This Is the Night'' actually adds a small amount of detail to the original story of ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers.''
** Remus actually holding Ron down to prevent him from injuring himself is shown, as this is the only instance where his first change is shown (however Ginny helps him).
** A hypothetical Animagus form for Hermione is given: a Grey Fox, ''Urocyon Cinereoargenteus.'' This is actually hinted in Chapter 220, ''Celebrimbor's Shame,'' when Ariadne had a fox tail, and Hermione was described as having a grey tail with a black stripe.
** The events of Ginny's second-to-last year at Hogwarts are expanded on slightly, identifying the night she was sent to the Forbidden Forest as having taken place in early December 2007. It's also specified that she was bound and gagged, although it's possible this was because she was able to resist magical restraint as a powerful witch and a werewolf. It's confirmed instead of speculation that [=McGonagall=] gave her the House of Granger signet ring.
** It is confirmed that Ginny is in fact a Parseltongue, and that she does not use the ability because of her history with the Diary of Tom Riddle.
* AlternateTimeline: In this timeline, Ginny became a werewolf with Ron.
* BittersweetEnding: Ginny is barred from professional Quidditch, which her main fic counterpart got into, but she is slowly finding happiness in Potions work making Wolfsbane Potion. She is also more scarred.
* BloodSplatteredWarrior: Ginny killed Fenrir Greyback in this story, with her "bare and bloodstained hands."
* ContinuityNod: On their first night as werewolves, Remus says many of the same things he said in Chapter 110, ''Full Moon Rising,'' and Chapter 4 of ''Conflicting Schedules, Princess' Birthday.''
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Instead of him being killed at the Battle of Hogwarts, Ginny kills Fenrir Greyback at the Battle of the Astronomy Tower.
* FirstKiss: Ariadne and Ginny have their FirstKiss in the Gryffindor Common Room.
* ForWantOfANail: ''This Is the Night'' overviews a line of how some things change in the story with Ginny as a werewolf.
** Ginny accompanied Ron to see the Triwizard dragons.
** Ariadne and Ginny didn't stick around for the Yule Ball - the full moon was imminent, so they retired to the Common Room and had their FirstKiss there.
** Ariadne became an Animagus in 2005 instead of 2009, and Hermione joined her.
** Ginny killed Fenrir Greyback at the Battle of the Astronomy Tower; thus, he was not present to turn Lavender Brown, Parvati Patil, Hannah Abbott, Toby Quill, and Alexander Vaisey, and as such those five are not werewolves in this story.
* InterspeciesRomance: Ariadne and Ginny becomes one, as Ginny is a werewolf.
* MeaningfulName:
** Subverted; Ginny says she's going to name her wolf form Toni, and then catches Remus off-guard when she explains it's just a pun and short for [=Gin-And-Tonic.=]
** Instead of calling her the Lady of Light, in this version of the story Centaur prophecies call Ginny the Wolven Flame.
* MythologyGag: In this version of the story, Ginny was actually scared of the idea of going into heat as a werewolf and so is glad it's an urban myth, and the narration says that if it weren't her, she may have joked about it. In the original, she ''did.''
* ScarsAreForever: During the attack on the Burrow at New Years of 2007, Ginny's Wolfsbane vial is shattered, and in terror at transforming without it, she accidentally gives herself a long scar down her face. Her scars are present on her wolf form, including her arm ones after the Battle of Hogwarts.
* SiblingTeam: Ron and Ginny are a pack of their own.
* TitledAfterTheSong: This piece is named after the Weird Sisters song ''This Is the Night,'' a verse of which could be considered to be from the perspective of a werewolf. Indeed, in ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers''' Chapter 348, ''In Sickness and in Health,'' it is confirmed to be [[spoiler:as Weird Sisters member Herman Wintringham is made a werewolf and in-universe the song was written by him.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Rock 'n' Roll Suicide]]
* [[AlmightyMom Almighty Mum]] / MamaBear: Due to the circumstances of this spinoff, Valerie Granger actually follows through with her habit of threatening Professor Dumbledore if he does not keep her daughters safe, punching him in the face and attempting to stab him with a piece of broken metal.
* DarkerAndEdgier: ''Rock 'n' Roll Suicide'' is the only spinoff to ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers'' to explicitly depict suicide.
* DeathIsTheOnlyOption: Ariadne does not believe Dumbledore when he tells her she may not have to die, and so in this piece, she actually kills herself seeing no other solution to end the war.
* DeathNotification: Madam Pomfrey has the unfortunate duty of informing Ariadne's parents of Ariadne's suicide - Dumbledore only told them something had gone wrong.
* DiesWideOpen: Ariadne's eyes are still open when Hermione finds her body.
* DisabilitySuperpower: Averted. Ariadne's magical sense apparently stops working when she becomes a ghost.
* DrivenToSuicide: Affected by severe depression after discovering that she is a Horcrux, Ariadne kills herself.
* HesitantSacrifice / HeroicSacrifice: Though Ariadne does commit suicide in this spinoff piece, she is so reluctant to leave behind her loved ones that she comes back as a ghost, and instantly regrets taking her own life.
* ShoutOut: The fic itself is named for the David Bowie song ''Rock 'n' Roll Suicide.''
* StartsWithASuicide: The first line of this piece is Ariadne speaking the incantation for the Killing Curse and killing herself, followed by her confused and then horrified realization that she's become a ghost.
* WhamEpisode: Chapter 1, ''The Worst Case Scenario,'' depicts the premise for the fic, the suicide of Ariadne Granger.
* WorthLivingFor: Ariadne comes back as a ghost because she had so much she wanted to live for.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Forest of Dean]]
* AdaptationExpansion:
** In Chapter 11, ''I Want to Break Free,'' Hermione's experience of being petrified is expanded upon; her eyes are improperly focused leading to intense discomfort and she literally can't fall asleep.
** In Chapter 16, ''Commonalities and Differences,'' Remus gives more background to Fenrir Greyback, and explains how the predatory werewolf had to be "clever" to target people before Wolfsbane Potion existed, as it generally goes against how werewolves work in ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers.''
* AdaptationalContextChange: Professor Snape's lesson on werewolves in Chapter 17, ''A Page Out of My Book,'' becomes particularly sinister when ''Hermione'' is a werewolf and not just Professor Lupin.
* AdaptationalSkill: In this story, Hermione knows a little taekwondo and had to drop out from classes because she kept accidentally hurting people at practice.
* AdaptationalJerkass:
** Because of the full moon, Hermione has a shorter temper here, which alters things like the Charms lesson where she more angrily corrects Ron which therefore gets discussed differently by Ron himself.
** Remus comes off a bit as this in Chapter 24, ''Matters of Perspective,'' showing more how his perspectives on being a werewolf are affected by his personal trauma and experience during the war; he's actually ''opposed'' to any unified "werewolf culture" and views it as being what Fenrir Greyback sought, taking a more moderate stance.
* [[AlmightyMom Almighty Mum]]: In true Valerie Granger fashion, when Fenrir Greyback bites Hermione in Chapter 1, ''Do You Remember?'' Valerie beats him away with a flaming log multiple times.
** Valerie continues this legacy, giving Lucius Malfoy a vicious TheReasonYouSuckSpeech the instant she meets him at the Quidditch World Cup - and she didn't even know who he was when she started!
* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: As a werewolf, much like other werewolves in ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers'' works, Hermione has near-total - but not ''completely'' total - loss of identity when she transforms into her wolf form, which she dubs Artemis. Given Artemis is trained, Hermione can sometimes accidentally follow commands to sit if she's not thinking about it, and after her first transformation vaguely remembers some of the clattering about in the kitchen and dining room.
* CareerRevealingTrait: If you pay close attention to Chiara Lobosca's letter in Chapter 14, ''Difficult Discussions,'' she notes the sort of things a Healer might about Ginny's concussion.
* ContinuityCameo and/or AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: In Chapter 5, ''A Strange Experience,'' Hermione is passed on a letter from a fellow werewolf who attends Hogwarts and will be leaving before Hermione starts there. From known context, this is clearly Chiara Lobosca - in ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers,'' Chiara was introduced late as a Healer with the Brown Foundation, who serves as Persephone's main Healer. Here, what appears to be a [[PenPals pen pal]] relationship is set up in 2000, nearly fifteen years before Hermione and Chiara meet in the main story. Subsequently, Chiara becomes a recurring character and after her outing and sacking she is taken in by the Grangers and hired as a dental nurse in the end of Chapter 18, ''Don't You Let Go.'' Her 1969 [=BSA=] Lightning also makes an early appearance.
* ContinuityNod: As per the exposition in ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers'' Chapter 358, ''A Father's Fear,'' and Chapter 366, ''Mother,'' Chapter 17, ''A Page Out of My Book,'' ends with Hermione reading that [[{{ContinuityCameo}} Chiara Lobosca]] got exposed as a werewolf and fired from her job at Saint Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.
* DarkerAndEdgier: In Chapter 4, ''The Wider World,'' Hermione and her family are distraught by the revelation that the wizarding world is so hostile to werewolves, and even come across a book in Flourish and Blotts' titled ''Hunting Werewolves'' (that exists in the movie canon which the ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers'' universe is based on, appearing in the background in the ''Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'' movie). Afterward, Hermione's parents are extremely worried for Hermione's safety as a werewolf at Hogwarts, and consider moving to Scotland to be nearby so the girls can come home after classes and not spend their time where they are unsafe. Hearing this conversation, Hermione doesn't even want to be a witch.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Mostly averted. Because ''The Forest of Dean'' was written after the end of ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers,'' it averts most instances of EarlyInstallmentWeirdness present in the original story and is consistent with all [[{{Retcon}} Retcons]], including Ariadne using a braille slate and stylus, the partitioning of the Granger girls' respective neurodivergences, and Hermione and Valerie being black. Early installment ''mistakes'' are also lampshaded and fixed, with Chapter 16, ''Commonalities and Differences,'' featuring in its notes a plea for the earlier version of the author to develop a sense of time because the original timeline doesn't make any sense.
* FantasticSlurs: As a joking example, in Chapter 20, ''Open Season,'' Hermione mocks Draco Malfoy for saying "mudblood mutt" instead of the portmanteau ''muttblood.''
* FightingBackIsWrong: Rejected in Chapter 3, ''A Knock at the Door.'' In this version of events, Hermione has even been suspended on occasion for injuring bullies through her [[AdaptationalSkill skill at taekwondo]].
* AGlassInTheHand: In Chapter 17, ''A Page Out of My Book,'' Hermione breaks a pen this way because of her anger at Professor Snape.
* ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder: In Chapter 11, ''I Want to Break Free,'' Madam Pomfrey has to supervise Artemis after Hermione partially transforms, [[spoiler:breaking her petrification,]] in the Hospital Wing. After Artemis appears confused by her conjuring a dog bed, Madam Pomfrey exclaims "Oh I don't know, I'm a Healer not a magizoologist!"
* InterspeciesFriendship: In this story, Hermione's sisterhood with Ariadne.
* MamaBear: Valerie Granger, before she even knows about magic, fights off a werewolf with a flaming log. Successfully too.
* MeaningfulName:
** Hermione names her wolf self Artemis, after the Greek goddess of wild animals.
** Hermione also names herself when she is transformed but under the effects of Wolfsbane Potion Hecate; Hecate was the Greek goddess of magic and associated with the moon, depicted as triple-bodied - befitting this being Hermione's third persona - and Hecate was frequently shaped as or associated with, often friendly, female dogs. She is also characterized as representing liminal spaces, which aligns with how Hermione thinks of her own Hecate.
** [[{{NamedByTheAdaptation}} Chiara is given a middle name]] in ''The Forest of Dean,'' Bethany. The name Bethany derives from a Biblical place name meaning "house of affliction" or "house of the poor," alluding to Chiara's lycanthropy, career as a Healer, as well as her impoverished state after being fired. However, she probably isn't as impoverished in ''The Forest of Dean,'' as in this timeline she is indicated to be hired as a dental nurse by the Grangers rather than being forced to take low-paying odd jobs to scrounge a living.
** Ariadne suggests the name Apollo for Ron's wolf form sans-Wolfsbane, for the fact that he is pack with Hermione's, Artemis - Apollo being the twin brother of Artemis. Hermione isn't a fan, since she has a crush on Ron and sees it as an inappropriate name since she doesn't see him as a sibling.
* MentorArchetype:
** TheObiWannabe in the case of Remus Lupin - he ''is'' trying to be helpful to Hermione, but his advice and general attitude toward being a werewolf are very much based on his own self-loathing.
** Hermione finds herself appointed as one when Ron becomes a werewolf.
* MythologyGag: In Chapter 26, ''Enjoy the Match,'' Ariadne reacts with some revulsion to the idea of inheriting the House of Black from Sirius because of her relationship to him as his goddaughter - that's exactly what happens when Sirius dies in ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers,'' and its sequel, being written at the same time as ''The Forest of Dean,'' often is affected by the politics of it becoming House Granger.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: ''The Forest of Dean'' gives a middle name for Chiara Lobosca, Bethany.
* PenPals: In Chapter 5, ''A Strange Experience,'' a fellow werewolf attending Hogwarts at the time (implied to be [[ContinuityCameo Chiara Lobosca]]) expresses an interest in establishing a pen-pal relationship with Hermione, though neither knows the other's name.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
** True to form for Valerie Granger, Valerie gives one to ''the entire Wizarding [=UK=]'' when it comes to acceptance of werewolves in Chapter 21, ''Mould the Clay.''
** Chiara Lobosca gives one of these to Remus Lupin in regards to his - in her opinion - patronizing and overly pacifist moderate stance about cultural unity among werewolves and whether or not it should even happen in Chapter 24, ''Matters of Perspective.'' Though, she does ramble a bit.
* ScarsAreForever:
** Hermione gains a scar on her right wrist where Greyback bit her.
** ''The Forest of Dean'' also establishes that Chiara has four cuts running down one of her cheeks - Chapter 24, ''Matters of Perspective,'' reveals that [[{{SelfHarm}} she gave them to herself]] to remind everyone else of the pain she goes through and what she is.
* ShoutOut:
** In Chapter 4, ''The Wider World,'' Hermione is stated to have liked the ''Goosebumps'' book ''The Werewolf of Fever Swamp'' and given it a prominent place on her bookshelf.
** Chapter 7, ''Castle of Wizardry,'' is named after the third book of ''The Belgariad.''
** Chapter 11, ''I Want to Break Free,'' is named after the Queen song of the same name.
** In Chapter 16, ''Commonalities and Differences,'' the description of a hobbit-hole from J.R.R. Tolkien's ''The Hobbit'' is quoted in reverse in regards to the tunnel under the Whomping Willow.
** In Chapter 18, ''Don't You Let Go,'' Hermione is reading to Ariadne from Chapter 5, ''The Steward and the King,'' of book six of ''The Lord of the Rings,'' which as well as book five falls under ''The Return of the King.'' She is doing so because they recently saw the movie adaptation, whose soundtrack they sing, and the title of the chapter is spoken by Samwise Gamgee in the movie.
** In Chapter 19, ''Calling the Bluff,'' Hermione echoes Obi-Wan Kenobi's line "Well of course I know him; he's me."
** In Chapter 20, ''Open Season,'' Hermione quotes the Seventh Doctor from the ''Doctor Who'' serial ''Battlefield'' of season 26, saying "who said anything about playing chess? I'm playing poker!" Remus doesn't get the reference and exclaims that you don't play poker by going all in the moment your opponent makes a bet.
** The name of Chapter 23, ''So Small a Thing,'' is a reference to ''The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring'' and Boromir's line "it is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing."
** In Chapter 24, ''Matters of Perspective,'' a number of these are made. Hermione compares Chiara's appearance to that of the late '80s ''Doctor Who'' companion Ace, and Chiara's leather jacket has patches referencing the Sex Pistols and Siouxsie and the Banshees, and she wears a Buzzcocks t-shirt. Additionally, Chiara's jacket has a [=BSA=] patch in the same place as on Ace's. As well as this, Chiara's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech includes a ShoutOut to ''Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,'' quoting Benny Russell from the episode ''Far Beyond the Stars;'' "Calm never got me a damn thing."
** Chapter 25, ''On a Hot Summer Night,'' is named for the Meatloaf song ''You Took the Words Right Outta My Mouth (Hot Summer Night).''
* TheStationsOfTheCanon: In a ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers''-specific example, similarly to how he becomes a werewolf in the main story, Ron also becomes a werewolf during the same full moon in ''The Forest of Dean.'' However, it is shown to be Hecate who is the likely progenitor of his infection, by playing tug of war with him. Lampshaded in the notes.
* ThemeNaming: Hermione's name for her wolf form, Artemis, follows a similar theme of greek mythology to her own name and [[MeaningfulRename Ariadne's name]]. Her name for her Wolfsbane-affected persona, Hecate, also follows this theme. Ron's wolf form is suggested the name Apollo by Ariadne, as Apollo is Artemis' twin brother.
* TheyHaveTheScent: Averted. Hermione says in Chapter 20, ''Open Season,'' when asked if she can just sniff out Remus that tracking is actually very difficult for her because of her sensory issues, and she can't even do it as Hecate.
* WhamEpisode: Chapter 19, ''Calling the Bluff,'' features Hermione coming out as a werewolf publicly on the radio.
[[/folder]]
In order of publication, they are:
* ''Princess'': A one-shot following a werewolf version of Ariadne Granger completing the third task of the Triwizard tournament.
* ''Conflicting Schedules'': Originally intended to be a one-shot, this side fic focuses on Ariadne becoming a werewolf and sustaining moderate nerve damage during the first task of the Triwizard Tournament. Unlike ''Princess,'' where that version of Ariadne uses the third task to reveal that she's a werewolf, this version of Ariadne tries to get it rescheduled, inadvertently tells Cornelius Fudge, and is both outed and expelled from Hogwarts, along with Ron.
* ''The Woes of Ectothermy'': A main story canon piece, which introduces a new character - Vanya, an eight year old recently turned vampire. She is taken in by a woman calling herself Tiffany, and is assisted by an official from a Ministry department the name of which is redacted as it would spoil future events in Kaleidoscopic Grangers (as of when The Woes of Ectothermy was published).
* ''A Litter of Problems'': Described as "a crackfic taken seriously," and diverges from ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers'' during Chapter 261, ''Blue.'' Instead of remaining outside away from Blue, clearly, Ariadne and Hermione were in direct contact with Blue over the full moon, and because Blue - inheriting the knowledge from Ron - recognized Hermione as his mate, he affectionately started licking her face. As a result, Hermione became a werewolf, and over the next full moon, neither of them had Wolfsbane Potion. The pair didn't think about how their wolves would interact, and their feral forms mated, resulting in Hermione being pregnant with a litter of four puppies.
* ''Little Red Riding Hood'': A main story canon piece, which tacks on after Chapter 252, ''Dream On'' and follows Ron's perspective during the first night he and Hermione sleep together. It is explicit and has a brief sex scene.
* ''This is the Night'': An alternate universe story where Ginny got infected with lycanthropy as well as Ron - it goes over her first transformation and then an overview of much of her life after it.
* ''Rock n Roll Suicide'': A small spinoff piece written while ''Fanfic/BirdsOfAFeatherKaleidoscopicGrangers'' was being written. The piece diverges from ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers'' in Chapter 230, ''The World is Grey,'' where when Hermione goes looking for Ariadne when she's late to Herbology, instead of finding Ariadne crying, she finds Ariadne dead after having committed suicide, and having become a ghost.
* ''The Forest of Dean'': A small spinoff piece written to explore the concept of KG!Hermione being bitten by Fenrir Greyback while on the camping trip to the Forest of Dean mentioned in Chapter 244, ''Winding Up,'' of ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers.'' It begins in 1998 when Hermione is bitten, and then skips ahead to Hermione's first transformation as a werewolf before skipping to 2001 when Hermione turns eleven and is visited by Professor [=McGonagall=]. It is described by the author as "playing the highlights" due to its time skips.
----
!!Tropes in these fics:
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:Princess]]
* AlternateTimeline: In this timeline, Ariadne became a werewolf before the Triwizard Tournament, however little of note appears to have changed about her story until the Third Task.
* AnimalAthleteLoophole: When Princess wins the Triwizard Tournament in her wolf form, Minister Fudge is reminded that there is no rule against a transformed werewolf winning the Tournament.
* BloodSplatteredWarrior: Princess (Ariadne's wolf form) gets showered in the blood of both an Acromantula and a Blast-Ended Skrewt over the course of the piece, as she fights them physically with her claws and teeth as opposed to spells in the main fic.
* MyInstinctsAreShowing: Ariadne, in this fic, allows herself to growl and express being a werewolf around those who know, before revealing herself to the entire world by winning as Princess.
* OhCrap: Princess gets very near to biting Cedric Diggory before Cedric's panic makes her realize she is being affected by the maze's mental effect, which causes her to react with fear as she watches it release her.
* PainfulTransformation: Ariadne transforms into Princess during the piece, and the lycanthropic transformation is depicted as being incredibly painful, and details such as the alterations to her spine, limbs, hips, skull, and lungs are described.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Conflicting Schedules]]
* AffectionateNickname: In the same moment an InSeriesNickname, the banner Hermione and Ginny hold says "ARIADNE GRANGER: THE #1 WHITE-EYED WEREWOLF" instead of "ARIADNE GRANGER: THE #1 TRIWIZARD CHAMPION" which it says in Kaleidoscopic Grangers.
* AlternateTimeline: In this timeline, Ariadne was accidentally infected with lycanthropy by Ron on his first full moon, and as a result of the Triwizard Tasks being on full moons, she has not done as well in the Tournament, suffering permanent nerve damage in the First Task. How she completed the second is unspecified. Ariadne attempts to get the Third Task, which would fall during a time she would transform during, rescheduled, and ends up outed to the entire Wizarding world and expelled from Hogwarts.
* DarkSecret: The premise of the spin-off is a werewolf version of Ariadne trying to hide what she is, and failing.
* InSeriesNickname: see AffectionateNickname.
* InterspeciesFriendship: Fleur Delacour's friendship with Ron applies also to Ariadne here, where their shared inhumanity is a point of bonding - Fleur repeats her main fic line of "us non-humans have to stick together," and remarks that the third task of the Triwizard Tournament, where she and Ariadne ally as joint Beauxbatons champions, is humans versus nonhumans.
* BodySnatcher: In Chapter 5, ''Restless Nights,'' Ariadne gets a dream, much like she does in the main fic in the start of her fourth year, but this dream is of Voldemort usurping the body of someone who comes across Marvolo Gaunt's Ring in its hiding place via the ring itself. [[spoiler:Voldemort is pleasantly surprised to find it is Albus Dumbledore whose body and therefore identity he has usurped, before Ariadne wakes up, forgetting the dream.]]
* MeaningfulName: In Chapter 4, ''Princess' Birthday,'' Ariadne chooses to call her wolf Princess, because her family often call her that, and she first named herself after a princess.
* MyInstinctsAreShowing: After being outed, Ariadne is extremely open about being a werewolf, including brawling with Vincent Crabbe for calling her "a broken mutt someone needs to put down."
* OffTheRails: This version of the story completely breaks the storyline which Kaleidoscopic Grangers follows by resulting in Voldemort not returning in a manner Ariadne witnesses, and the New Marauders leaving Hogwarts to attend Beauxbatons in the 2005-2006 school year onward.
* PainfulTransformation: Much like ''Princess,'' Chapter 4, ''Princess' Birthday'' (which is technically canon for ''Princess'' as well, as ''Conflicting Schedules'' diverges from it during the first Triwizard Task) describes a lycanthropic transformation - in this case, Ariadne's first. She is in so much pain she cannot process it, and it describes her change being down to the cellular level.
* ScarsAreForever: Ariadne has numerous permanent scars due to her injuries in the Triwizard Tournament as well as being a werewolf. In Chapter 2, ''One Door Opens,'' it is elaborated on that Ariadne acquired lycanthropy from Ron by accident, and in Chapter 4, ''Princess' Birthday,'' this is properly described as a cut up her right forearm she sustained on Ron's first full moon, where unlike ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers,'' they went with him.
* SuperWheelchair: Ariadne uses a wheelchair augmented with broomstick enchantments which is capable of flight.
* WaistcoatOfStyle: Ron is stated to be very stylish in his Beauxbatons uniform, which includes a waistcoat, and it's stated that he is "quite handsome" wearing it.
* WhamEpisode: Arguably, Chapter 1, ''Conflicting Schedules'' (which was originally the entire fic before the author decided it was an interesting enough premise to continue).
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Woes of Ectothermy]]
* BadassAdorable: Vanya looks eight years old, and will for the rest of her life, but she is an ambush predator and even when inexperienced and running on instinct, she is capable of relatively effective hunting. Arguably a KillerRabbit.
* ContinuityNod: Jeremy Paddison is mentioned in Chapter 230 of Kaleidoscopic Grangers, ''The World Is Grey,'' which was released after ''The Woes of Ectothermy.'' When he is mentioned in ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers,'' he is still in his seventh year at Hogwarts.
* FingerTwitchingRevival: Tiffany and Jeremy notice Vanya is indeed alive seeing her twitch. A vampire in torpor is difficult to distinguish from one that is dead, and the pair were unsure if Vanya was alive.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Vanya is a vampire. ''The Woes of Ectothermy'' also sets up what vampires are in the Kaleidoscopic Grangers universe.
** Vampires in ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers'' are not undead; they are ectothermic humanoid hematophages, although one can become one through the same methods as in popular culture. However, when recently turned, they can seem dead, and are often buried by non-magical peers, which can lead to trauma.
** They do not need to consume human blood, as any hemoglobin based blood will do, however they can, and Vanya could be described with the VegetarianVampire trope as she actively avoids doing so even when starving in the opening to ''The Woes of Ectothermy.'' Solid food makes them sick.
** Nor do ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers'' vampires have a MissingReflection. Vanya figures out she is a vampire seeing her fangs in her reflection.
** They are LongLived, living for approximately four hundred years according to Jeremy Paddison.
** Vampires are vulnerable to the cold, as ectotherms, and can fall into a state called torpor if they get too cold - in this state, they are effectively hibernating involuntarily. If warmed from this state, they wake up again, but they can still freeze to death, and torpor can be indistinguishable from death.
** TheAgeless: Vampires do not age - Vanya will appear to be eight years old for the rest of her LongLived life.
** VoluntaryShapeshifting: Although Vanya does not know how to control it, this is seen in her accidentally giving herself fur once to try to stave off the cold.
** WeakenedByTheLight: Inverted. Vampires in Kaleidoscopic Grangers are not harmed by sunlight, but are vulnerable to the cold as ectothermic life forms. They require external sources of heat, and might even be found basking in the sun for this reason.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:A Litter of Problems]]
* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: In Chapter 4, ''As Sure as Day Returns to Night,'' Hermione undergoes her transformation without Wolfsbane potion, as taking it would risk her health while she is pregnant. In this, she becomes her wolf - which she named Andromache. However, the AlternateIdentityAmnesia is not total. Though Andromache does not remember anything of substance from Hermione, she does seem to have a very similar personality, and seems to exhibit some signs of Hermione's autism. She even remembers things that are important to her, such as the fact that Ron is her mate and that the Burrow is home. She does not, however, recognize the other werewolves, nor does she recognize what's happening to Ron, which results in her being very concerned when Ron has his own lycanthropic transformation.\\
The end notes for the chapter state that Andromache is still Hermione, she's just lacking the context and knowledge Hermione benefits from, and her priorities are a little different.
* AlternateTimeline: In this timeline, Ariadne and Hermione were in physical contact with Blue during Chapter 260, ''Blue,'' and Hermione became a werewolf. The Battle of Hogwarts took place a month later than in ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers,'' and Hermione found herself pregnant with puppies.
* BigEater: Justified, both in that Hermione now has an enhanced metabolism that requires this, but also that she is eating for five.
* ContinuityNod: Just like in ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers,'' Ariadne goes and visits Nymphadora's newborn baby a week before the full moon on the 20th of April, as she does in Chapter 289, ''A New Life,'' of the main fic.
* BrainsAndBondage: ''[=ALoP=]: Chapter 9.5: The Memory'' confirms that Hermione is pretty kinky - she has previously "sold Ron on bondage and strap-ons." And this is the timeline where, at that point in the story, their sex life got cut in half by Hermione getting pregnant!
* ExpressDelivery: Hermione's pregnancy is progressing faster than a human one, and is estimated to last for four months in Chapter 1, ''The Ultrasound.'' Justified in that lupine pregnancies only last two months and compared to actual wolves, it is the LongestPregnancyEver.
* FamilyThemeNaming: Hermione's puppies continue the theme Ariadne and she established by both having Greek names - the puppies are Artemis, Calliope, Cerberus, and Ariadne II.
* FeelingTheBabyKick: Hermione finds her four puppies to be rather active inside of her, which she [[HandOnWomb uses to help ease the news to Molly]] that not only is there more than one infant, there are four.
* GoodIsNotSoft: In this version of events, it was Hermione, not Ron, who killed Fenrir Greyback for attacking Parvati and Lavender. And she did it with her bare hands and teeth.
* HatesBeingTouched: Hermione is autistic and so HatesBeingTouched, especially when overwhelmed which she practically is constantly in her state in this piece. This conflicts with her new werewolf instincts, which make her want closeness.
* MamaBear:
** Valerie, as in the main story, is very protective of her daughters, and goes so far as to threaten a Healer at Saint Mungo's with the House of Granger's political power should they even slightly leak why Hermione is there.
** Hermione is very protective of her puppies, even before they are born, and isn't pleased when Molly has to take them to weigh them.
* MorningSickness: Hermione spends an hour in the morning of Chapter 2, ''Mama Wolf'' "keeping as much of the last night’s dinner down as she could."
* MyInstinctsAreShowing: Hermione growls and whines like a wolf a few times in the fic, and flashes her teeth at Ron when she is stressed.
* MySecretPregnancy: Hermione avoids letting anyone outside of the family know that she is pregnant, due to the nature of the pregnancy being likely to attract nation-wide ridicule given how famous her family is.
* MysticalPregnancy: Because both Ron and Hermione were in their wolf forms during conception, Hermione's offspring are puppies instead of human(oid).
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Hermione and Ron already agreed before the puppies were born that the youngest female puppy would be named after her aunt... and is named Ariadne II. Molly tells Ariadne she probably won't be the last child named after her, which Ariadne isn't happy about.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Hermione killed Fenrir Greyback with her bare hands according to the outline of the events that led to ''A Litter of Problems,'' but this is not shown.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Hermione is one, and the fic goes into how a pair of wolf-form werewolves mating will result in lupine offspring, and the health and societal problems that ensue. Because of how ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers'' handles lycanthropic AlternateIdentityAmnesia and/or IdentityAmnesia (things that are important or of note can bleed through in both directions), Hermione can in fact remember the conception of the puppies "in far more detail than she wanted to," even though their memories of those nights are fragmentary, and finds it quite embarrassing.
* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Hermione names her wolf Andromache, which is a joke on the original mythology of her own namesake; Hermione blamed Andromache for making her ''barren,'' the opposite of what the story's Hermione blames her Andromache for, which is getting her pregnant in the first place.
* ShoutOut:
** In Chapter 1, ''The Ultrasound,'' Hermione remembers Theoden saying "no parent should ever have to bury their child" from the ''Lord of the Rings'' movies.
** Chapter 3, ''Behold My Future,'' is named after a lyric to the theme tune of the TV show Series/{{Wolfblood}}.
** In Chapter 3, ''Behold My Future,'' Hermione hums ''Roads Go Ever On,'' a walking song from the Lord of the Rings.
** Chapter 4, ''As Sure as Day Returns to Night,'' is also named after a lyric from the Wolfblood theme song.
* ShownTheirWork: Lampshaded in the notes that the author used the Wayback Machine to check the Wikipedia page for Wolf was accurate to the in-universe date.
* TeenPregnancy: Hermione is nineteen, and due to having taken a gap year, also still hasn't finished Hogwarts.
* TheClan: Rather amusingly, because Hermione is the oldest daughter of Dennis and Valerie, she's the heir to the House of Granger, and her eldest child after her is next. As a result, technically, the heir to the House of Granger is ''Lady'' Artemis Granger, a wolf.

[[folder:Little Red Riding Hood]]
* AdaptationExpansion: ''Little Red Riding Hood'' follows a scene only implied to have taken place in ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers.''
* BrainsAndBondage: Though Hermione says she doesn't herself enjoy being tied up as it reminds her of when she was Petrified by the Basilisk, she is quick to suggest seeing if Ron likes it later.
* CallBack: There are a few of these - In the new context of knowing Hermione loved him, Ron wonders how much happier he would have been if it had been Hermione to kiss him in Chapter 208, ''When All the World is Warm and Tired,'' and how he would have gone to Professor Slughorn's party in Chapter 211, ''Polite Conversation,'' as Red in a pink bowed collar if she'd asked (the party was on a full moon night). Hermione calls back to Chapter 101, ''Correspondence, Clairvoyance, Aches and Pains,'' when Sally-Anne pointed out her accelerated puberty due to time travel, and says the attention was uncomfortable. There is also a small CallBack to Chapter 154, ''Safe House,'' when Ron says that Hermione makes him feel more like a person sometimes; he alluded to this previously, telling Remus that Hermione can hear high pitched noises too, implying this makes it less unpleasant for him.
* ConfessionTriggersConsummation: Ariadne's suspicion that Hermione and Ron were a case of this in ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers'' is confirmed in ''Little Red Riding Hood.''
* ContinuityNod: As per Chapter 253, ''Founders' Effects,'' Hermione is having trouble sleeping during this piece. Additionally, Hermione uses a Muffling Charm exactly as Ariadne had suspected. Hermione mentions thinking she might be short-sighted which is later confirmed when she gets glasses between Chapters 288 and 289, and she says she'll go and brew contraceptives; Ariadne notices that she's been doing so in Chapter 260, ''Shire. Baggins.''
* EyesAlwaysAverted: Both Ron and Hermione in this piece do not make eye contact, and it is explained as being because Hermione is autistic and finds it socially intense while Ron, as a werewolf, can sometimes see eye contact as hostile.
* TheImmodestOrgasm: It's not stated if Hermione actually has an orgasm, but she is fairly vocal and preemptively casts a Muffling Charm knowing she can be.
* InterspeciesRomance: Ron is a werewolf, Hermione is human. Hermione is conscious of this and does her best to accommodate any ways this may manifest in how he behaves toward her, including sexually.
* MustNotDieAVirgin: Hermione invokes this trope as a 'just in case,' as being fugitives does mean the pair could die.
* MythologyGag: Hermione acknowledging the danger inherent in her getting pregnant, let alone having children, could be considered such a gag given the existence of ''A Litter of Problems.''
* MyInstinctsAreShowing: Hermione is accommodating of the several ways Ron's instincts as a werewolf come up during the piece.\\
First, he tends to rub his cheek on her shoulder in an attempt to scent mark her; he is originally embarrassed when this is pointed out, but Hermione says it's fine and he resumes doing it.\\
His instincts also come up during the brief sex scene; Hermione goes out of her way to ask if he would prefer a position where he is behind her due to these instincts (which it is implied is the case), and afterwards Hermione realises he has the ''instinct'' to remain tied with her out of a canine expectation they be so, but not any physical manifestation of an actual knot. In his mind, it feels like what he should do, but Hermione points out that he's instinctively trying to ensure she gets pregnant. He is startled by this and immediately pulls out, but she assures him that because she will be making and taking a morning-after potion, there is no practically greater risk to him obliging that instinct and that she doesn't mind.
* NaughtyByNight: Hermione is unequivocally shown to be so, surprising Ron with the fact she masturbates regularly and has a surprisingly comprehensive list of things she likes and doesn't like for someone who says she doesn't have a ''comprehensive'' list. She just doesn't often mention this side of herself, as the only person she felt she could be open with aside from Ron himself was Ariadne - her sister.
* NerdsAreSexy: Ron finds Hermione's ability to be just as much a nerd as usual even in the prelude to sex very attractive.
* PostCoitalCollapse: Ron gently pushes so he and Hermione fall sideways into a cuddle after the sex.
* ShoutOut:
** Hermione paraphrases Samwise Gamgee's speech on 'some good in this world worth fighting for' from Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheTwoTowers.
** Ron invokes erotic readings of Literature/LittleRedRidingHood - Hermione doesn't immediately realise he's flirting and discusses the Brothers Grimm version of the story and how she doesn't want him skinned or drowned, before realising what he'd meant. The piece itself is named for this.
* SmellsSexy: Ron can smell that Hermione is aroused.
* TheirFirstTime: ''Little Red Riding Hood'' goes over Ron and Hermione's first time having sex, as a counterpart to ''We Could Be Heroes'' for Ariadne and Ginny.
* TheNoseKnows: Ron's nose, as he is a werewolf, is so sensitive he can smell the change to Hermione's scent when she is aroused.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: The first large chunk of the piece is Ron and Hermione almost competitively giving each other this speech.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:This Is the Night]]
* AdaptationExpansion: ''This Is the Night'' actually adds a small amount of detail to the original story of ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers.''
** Remus actually holding Ron down to prevent him from injuring himself is shown, as this is the only instance where his first change is shown (however Ginny helps him).
** A hypothetical Animagus form for Hermione is given: a Grey Fox, ''Urocyon Cinereoargenteus.'' This is actually hinted in Chapter 220, ''Celebrimbor's Shame,'' when Ariadne had a fox tail, and Hermione was described as having a grey tail with a black stripe.
** The events of Ginny's second-to-last year at Hogwarts are expanded on slightly, identifying the night she was sent to the Forbidden Forest as having taken place in early December 2007. It's also specified that she was bound and gagged, although it's possible this was because she was able to resist magical restraint as a powerful witch and a werewolf. It's confirmed instead of speculation that [=McGonagall=] gave her the House of Granger signet ring.
** It is confirmed that Ginny is in fact a Parseltongue, and that she does not use the ability because of her history with the Diary of Tom Riddle.
* AlternateTimeline: In this timeline, Ginny became a werewolf with Ron.
* BittersweetEnding: Ginny is barred from professional Quidditch, which her main fic counterpart got into, but she is slowly finding happiness in Potions work making Wolfsbane Potion. She is also more scarred.
* BloodSplatteredWarrior: Ginny killed Fenrir Greyback in this story, with her "bare and bloodstained hands."
* ContinuityNod: On their first night as werewolves, Remus says many of the same things he said in Chapter 110, ''Full Moon Rising,'' and Chapter 4 of ''Conflicting Schedules, Princess' Birthday.''
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Instead of him being killed at the Battle of Hogwarts, Ginny kills Fenrir Greyback at the Battle of the Astronomy Tower.
* FirstKiss: Ariadne and Ginny have their FirstKiss in the Gryffindor Common Room.
* ForWantOfANail: ''This Is the Night'' overviews a line of how some things change in the story with Ginny as a werewolf.
** Ginny accompanied Ron to see the Triwizard dragons.
** Ariadne and Ginny didn't stick around for the Yule Ball - the full moon was imminent, so they retired to the Common Room and had their FirstKiss there.
** Ariadne became an Animagus in 2005 instead of 2009, and Hermione joined her.
** Ginny killed Fenrir Greyback at the Battle of the Astronomy Tower; thus, he was not present to turn Lavender Brown, Parvati Patil, Hannah Abbott, Toby Quill, and Alexander Vaisey, and as such those five are not werewolves in this story.
* InterspeciesRomance: Ariadne and Ginny becomes one, as Ginny is a werewolf.
* MeaningfulName:
** Subverted; Ginny says she's going to name her wolf form Toni, and then catches Remus off-guard when she explains it's just a pun and short for [=Gin-And-Tonic.=]
** Instead of calling her the Lady of Light, in this version of the story Centaur prophecies call Ginny the Wolven Flame.
* MythologyGag: In this version of the story, Ginny was actually scared of the idea of going into heat as a werewolf and so is glad it's an urban myth, and the narration says that if it weren't her, she may have joked about it. In the original, she ''did.''
* ScarsAreForever: During the attack on the Burrow at New Years of 2007, Ginny's Wolfsbane vial is shattered, and in terror at transforming without it, she accidentally gives herself a long scar down her face. Her scars are present on her wolf form, including her arm ones after the Battle of Hogwarts.
* SiblingTeam: Ron and Ginny are a pack of their own.
* TitledAfterTheSong: This piece is named after the Weird Sisters song ''This Is the Night,'' a verse of which could be considered to be from the perspective of a werewolf. Indeed, in ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers''' Chapter 348, ''In Sickness and in Health,'' it is confirmed to be [[spoiler:as Weird Sisters member Herman Wintringham is made a werewolf and in-universe the song was written by him.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Rock 'n' Roll Suicide]]
* [[AlmightyMom Almighty Mum]] / MamaBear: Due to the circumstances of this spinoff, Valerie Granger actually follows through with her habit of threatening Professor Dumbledore if he does not keep her daughters safe, punching him in the face and attempting to stab him with a piece of broken metal.
* DarkerAndEdgier: ''Rock 'n' Roll Suicide'' is the only spinoff to ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers'' to explicitly depict suicide.
* DeathIsTheOnlyOption: Ariadne does not believe Dumbledore when he tells her she may not have to die, and so in this piece, she actually kills herself seeing no other solution to end the war.
* DeathNotification: Madam Pomfrey has the unfortunate duty of informing Ariadne's parents of Ariadne's suicide - Dumbledore only told them something had gone wrong.
* DiesWideOpen: Ariadne's eyes are still open when Hermione finds her body.
* DisabilitySuperpower: Averted. Ariadne's magical sense apparently stops working when she becomes a ghost.
* DrivenToSuicide: Affected by severe depression after discovering that she is a Horcrux, Ariadne kills herself.
* HesitantSacrifice / HeroicSacrifice: Though Ariadne does commit suicide in this spinoff piece, she is so reluctant to leave behind her loved ones that she comes back as a ghost, and instantly regrets taking her own life.
* ShoutOut: The fic itself is named for the David Bowie song ''Rock 'n' Roll Suicide.''
* StartsWithASuicide: The first line of this piece is Ariadne speaking the incantation for the Killing Curse and killing herself, followed by her confused and then horrified realization that she's become a ghost.
* WhamEpisode: Chapter 1, ''The Worst Case Scenario,'' depicts the premise for the fic, the suicide of Ariadne Granger.
* WorthLivingFor: Ariadne comes back as a ghost because she had so much she wanted to live for.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Forest of Dean]]
* AdaptationExpansion:
** In Chapter 11, ''I Want to Break Free,'' Hermione's experience of being petrified is expanded upon; her eyes are improperly focused leading to intense discomfort and she literally can't fall asleep.
** In Chapter 16, ''Commonalities and Differences,'' Remus gives more background to Fenrir Greyback, and explains how the predatory werewolf had to be "clever" to target people before Wolfsbane Potion existed, as it generally goes against how werewolves work in ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers.''
* AdaptationalContextChange: Professor Snape's lesson on werewolves in Chapter 17, ''A Page Out of My Book,'' becomes particularly sinister when ''Hermione'' is a werewolf and not just Professor Lupin.
* AdaptationalSkill: In this story, Hermione knows a little taekwondo and had to drop out from classes because she kept accidentally hurting people at practice.
* AdaptationalJerkass:
** Because of the full moon, Hermione has a shorter temper here, which alters things like the Charms lesson where she more angrily corrects Ron which therefore gets discussed differently by Ron himself.
** Remus comes off a bit as this in Chapter 24, ''Matters of Perspective,'' showing more how his perspectives on being a werewolf are affected by his personal trauma and experience during the war; he's actually ''opposed'' to any unified "werewolf culture" and views it as being what Fenrir Greyback sought, taking a more moderate stance.
* [[AlmightyMom Almighty Mum]]: In true Valerie Granger fashion, when Fenrir Greyback bites Hermione in Chapter 1, ''Do You Remember?'' Valerie beats him away with a flaming log multiple times.
** Valerie continues this legacy, giving Lucius Malfoy a vicious TheReasonYouSuckSpeech the instant she meets him at the Quidditch World Cup - and she didn't even know who he was when she started!
* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: As a werewolf, much like other werewolves in ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers'' works, Hermione has near-total - but not ''completely'' total - loss of identity when she transforms into her wolf form, which she dubs Artemis. Given Artemis is trained, Hermione can sometimes accidentally follow commands to sit if she's not thinking about it, and after her first transformation vaguely remembers some of the clattering about in the kitchen and dining room.
* CareerRevealingTrait: If you pay close attention to Chiara Lobosca's letter in Chapter 14, ''Difficult Discussions,'' she notes the sort of things a Healer might about Ginny's concussion.
* ContinuityCameo and/or AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: In Chapter 5, ''A Strange Experience,'' Hermione is passed on a letter from a fellow werewolf who attends Hogwarts and will be leaving before Hermione starts there. From known context, this is clearly Chiara Lobosca - in ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers,'' Chiara was introduced late as a Healer with the Brown Foundation, who serves as Persephone's main Healer. Here, what appears to be a [[PenPals pen pal]] relationship is set up in 2000, nearly fifteen years before Hermione and Chiara meet in the main story. Subsequently, Chiara becomes a recurring character and after her outing and sacking she is taken in by the Grangers and hired as a dental nurse in the end of Chapter 18, ''Don't You Let Go.'' Her 1969 [=BSA=] Lightning also makes an early appearance.
* ContinuityNod: As per the exposition in ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers'' Chapter 358, ''A Father's Fear,'' and Chapter 366, ''Mother,'' Chapter 17, ''A Page Out of My Book,'' ends with Hermione reading that [[{{ContinuityCameo}} Chiara Lobosca]] got exposed as a werewolf and fired from her job at Saint Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.
* DarkerAndEdgier: In Chapter 4, ''The Wider World,'' Hermione and her family are distraught by the revelation that the wizarding world is so hostile to werewolves, and even come across a book in Flourish and Blotts' titled ''Hunting Werewolves'' (that exists in the movie canon which the ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers'' universe is based on, appearing in the background in the ''Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets'' movie). Afterward, Hermione's parents are extremely worried for Hermione's safety as a werewolf at Hogwarts, and consider moving to Scotland to be nearby so the girls can come home after classes and not spend their time where they are unsafe. Hearing this conversation, Hermione doesn't even want to be a witch.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Mostly averted. Because ''The Forest of Dean'' was written after the end of ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers,'' it averts most instances of EarlyInstallmentWeirdness present in the original story and is consistent with all [[{{Retcon}} Retcons]], including Ariadne using a braille slate and stylus, the partitioning of the Granger girls' respective neurodivergences, and Hermione and Valerie being black. Early installment ''mistakes'' are also lampshaded and fixed, with Chapter 16, ''Commonalities and Differences,'' featuring in its notes a plea for the earlier version of the author to develop a sense of time because the original timeline doesn't make any sense.
* FantasticSlurs: As a joking example, in Chapter 20, ''Open Season,'' Hermione mocks Draco Malfoy for saying "mudblood mutt" instead of the portmanteau ''muttblood.''
* FightingBackIsWrong: Rejected in Chapter 3, ''A Knock at the Door.'' In this version of events, Hermione has even been suspended on occasion for injuring bullies through her [[AdaptationalSkill skill at taekwondo]].
* AGlassInTheHand: In Chapter 17, ''A Page Out of My Book,'' Hermione breaks a pen this way because of her anger at Professor Snape.
* ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder: In Chapter 11, ''I Want to Break Free,'' Madam Pomfrey has to supervise Artemis after Hermione partially transforms, [[spoiler:breaking her petrification,]] in the Hospital Wing. After Artemis appears confused by her conjuring a dog bed, Madam Pomfrey exclaims "Oh I don't know, I'm a Healer not a magizoologist!"
* InterspeciesFriendship: In this story, Hermione's sisterhood with Ariadne.
* MamaBear: Valerie Granger, before she even knows about magic, fights off a werewolf with a flaming log. Successfully too.
* MeaningfulName:
** Hermione names her wolf self Artemis, after the Greek goddess of wild animals.
** Hermione also names herself when she is transformed but under the effects of Wolfsbane Potion Hecate; Hecate was the Greek goddess of magic and associated with the moon, depicted as triple-bodied - befitting this being Hermione's third persona - and Hecate was frequently shaped as or associated with, often friendly, female dogs. She is also characterized as representing liminal spaces, which aligns with how Hermione thinks of her own Hecate.
** [[{{NamedByTheAdaptation}} Chiara is given a middle name]] in ''The Forest of Dean,'' Bethany. The name Bethany derives from a Biblical place name meaning "house of affliction" or "house of the poor," alluding to Chiara's lycanthropy, career as a Healer, as well as her impoverished state after being fired. However, she probably isn't as impoverished in ''The Forest of Dean,'' as in this timeline she is indicated to be hired as a dental nurse by the Grangers rather than being forced to take low-paying odd jobs to scrounge a living.
** Ariadne suggests the name Apollo for Ron's wolf form sans-Wolfsbane, for the fact that he is pack with Hermione's, Artemis - Apollo being the twin brother of Artemis. Hermione isn't a fan, since she has a crush on Ron and sees it as an inappropriate name since she doesn't see him as a sibling.
* MentorArchetype:
** TheObiWannabe in the case of Remus Lupin - he ''is'' trying to be helpful to Hermione, but his advice and general attitude toward being a werewolf are very much based on his own self-loathing.
** Hermione finds herself appointed as one when Ron becomes a werewolf.
* MythologyGag: In Chapter 26, ''Enjoy the Match,'' Ariadne reacts with some revulsion to the idea of inheriting the House of Black from Sirius because of her relationship to him as his goddaughter - that's exactly what happens when Sirius dies in ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers,'' and its sequel, being written at the same time as ''The Forest of Dean,'' often is affected by the politics of it becoming House Granger.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: ''The Forest of Dean'' gives a middle name for Chiara Lobosca, Bethany.
* PenPals: In Chapter 5, ''A Strange Experience,'' a fellow werewolf attending Hogwarts at the time (implied to be [[ContinuityCameo Chiara Lobosca]]) expresses an interest in establishing a pen-pal relationship with Hermione, though neither knows the other's name.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
** True to form for Valerie Granger, Valerie gives one to ''the entire Wizarding [=UK=]'' when it comes to acceptance of werewolves in Chapter 21, ''Mould the Clay.''
** Chiara Lobosca gives one of these to Remus Lupin in regards to his - in her opinion - patronizing and overly pacifist moderate stance about cultural unity among werewolves and whether or not it should even happen in Chapter 24, ''Matters of Perspective.'' Though, she does ramble a bit.
* ScarsAreForever:
** Hermione gains a scar on her right wrist where Greyback bit her.
** ''The Forest of Dean'' also establishes that Chiara has four cuts running down one of her cheeks - Chapter 24, ''Matters of Perspective,'' reveals that [[{{SelfHarm}} she gave them to herself]] to remind everyone else of the pain she goes through and what she is.
* ShoutOut:
** In Chapter 4, ''The Wider World,'' Hermione is stated to have liked the ''Goosebumps'' book ''The Werewolf of Fever Swamp'' and given it a prominent place on her bookshelf.
** Chapter 7, ''Castle of Wizardry,'' is named after the third book of ''The Belgariad.''
** Chapter 11, ''I Want to Break Free,'' is named after the Queen song of the same name.
** In Chapter 16, ''Commonalities and Differences,'' the description of a hobbit-hole from J.R.R. Tolkien's ''The Hobbit'' is quoted in reverse in regards to the tunnel under the Whomping Willow.
** In Chapter 18, ''Don't You Let Go,'' Hermione is reading to Ariadne from Chapter 5, ''The Steward and the King,'' of book six of ''The Lord of the Rings,'' which as well as book five falls under ''The Return of the King.'' She is doing so because they recently saw the movie adaptation, whose soundtrack they sing, and the title of the chapter is spoken by Samwise Gamgee in the movie.
** In Chapter 19, ''Calling the Bluff,'' Hermione echoes Obi-Wan Kenobi's line "Well of course I know him; he's me."
** In Chapter 20, ''Open Season,'' Hermione quotes the Seventh Doctor from the ''Doctor Who'' serial ''Battlefield'' of season 26, saying "who said anything about playing chess? I'm playing poker!" Remus doesn't get the reference and exclaims that you don't play poker by going all in the moment your opponent makes a bet.
** The name of Chapter 23, ''So Small a Thing,'' is a reference to ''The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring'' and Boromir's line "it is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing."
** In Chapter 24, ''Matters of Perspective,'' a number of these are made. Hermione compares Chiara's appearance to that of the late '80s ''Doctor Who'' companion Ace, and Chiara's leather jacket has patches referencing the Sex Pistols and Siouxsie and the Banshees, and she wears a Buzzcocks t-shirt. Additionally, Chiara's jacket has a [=BSA=] patch in the same place as on Ace's. As well as this, Chiara's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech includes a ShoutOut to ''Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,'' quoting Benny Russell from the episode ''Far Beyond the Stars;'' "Calm never got me a damn thing."
** Chapter 25, ''On a Hot Summer Night,'' is named for the Meatloaf song ''You Took the Words Right Outta My Mouth (Hot Summer Night).''
* TheStationsOfTheCanon: In a ''Kaleidoscopic Grangers''-specific example, similarly to how he becomes a werewolf in the main story, Ron also becomes a werewolf during the same full moon in ''The Forest of Dean.'' However, it is shown to be Hecate who is the likely progenitor of his infection, by playing tug of war with him. Lampshaded in the notes.
* ThemeNaming: Hermione's name for her wolf form, Artemis, follows a similar theme of greek mythology to her own name and [[MeaningfulRename Ariadne's name]]. Her name for her Wolfsbane-affected persona, Hecate, also follows this theme. Ron's wolf form is suggested the name Apollo by Ariadne, as Apollo is Artemis' twin brother.
* TheyHaveTheScent: Averted. Hermione says in Chapter 20, ''Open Season,'' when asked if she can just sniff out Remus that tracking is actually very difficult for her because of her sensory issues, and she can't even do it as Hecate.
* WhamEpisode: Chapter 19, ''Calling the Bluff,'' features Hermione coming out as a werewolf publicly on the radio.
