History Fanfic / LightingCandles

** At first, Tadashi notices several of the Guardians keep looking behind his back. He asks whether he has [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E11TurnLeft a time-altering beetle in his back]].

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Tadashi has a tendency to gauge his own self worth against the accomplishments of others (especially Hiro), neglecting to consider his own strengths in the process. [[spoiler:For instance, when considering how he would have reacted if Hiro had died in the fire and he had lived, he doesn't think he could stop himself from killing Callahagn]]. This is particularly ironic given how much stock Hiro puts into Tadashi's accomplishments in canon.

* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:The sequel had the Nightmares possess Callahagn, and use him to put little Nightmare slivers in kids to feed on their fear]].

** [[spoiler:In the sequel, the Nightmares manage to posses Callahagn after his DespairEventHorizon, using the fact that humans don't need to believed in to cause harm, as well as his past use of microbots to attack, to allow themselves to attack anyone by masquerading as microbots]].

* ShoutOut: Pitch inverts Death's speech about "little lies" in ''Discworld/{{Hogfather}}'', explaining his role is generating little fears, like things that go bump in the night and monsters in the closet, to prepare children for the inevitable eventuality of the realities of {{Adult Fear}}s.

* SuperPowerMeltdown: [[spoiler:Tadashi does NOT take Callahagn's unmasking well.]]

* DarkIsNotEvil: [[spoiler:As Tadasji points out to Pitch, anything can become a negative in excess, and in the same way, fear is only a problem if there's too much of it]].

* SuperpowerLottery: Jack lampshades this when he hears about Tadashi's potent

* DeathByIrony: Inverted. Like Jack Frost, Tadashi gets powers associated with how he died, in this case fire.

* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: Tadashi is invisible and weak at the start of the story because he has no believers. Once he starts getting some, he grows in power and starts furthering his abilities.

** In the sequel, he notes that some people can see him in fox form since (especially since foxes had been flooding into the area after he became a Guardian and chose San Fransokyo as his home base), it's easier to believe that a fox may be there then a spiritual kitsune.

* BlessedWithSuck: As is pointed out, Tadashi retaining most of his memories from the get-go means that he can see his loved ones, but they can't see or interact with him at all. His fire powers start out as this too, since he has trouble controlling them and is afraid of hurting someone with them by accident.

--> '''Tadashi:''' Really? That's not what the Easter Bunny said... God, I can't believe I just said that.'

* BlessedWithSuck: As is pointed out, Tadashi retaining most of his memories from the get-go means that he can see his loved one

* PsychoactivePowers: Early on, Tadashi's fire powers are affected

* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Tadashi is immune to his own flamw

* SoulJar: Being a Kitsune, Tadashi has one, though it takes him a while to figure out what it is. [[spoiler:It's Baymax's green chip]].

* ThePowerOfTrust: Tadashi's Center as a Guardian turns out to be Trust.

* ComboPlatterPowers: In addition to his PlayingWithFire powers, Tadashi develops other abilities, like {{Flight}} and being a DreamWalker.

* InvisibleToNormals: Tadashi's invisible to everyone who doesn't believe in him - in other words, everyone but other spirits (and Baymax) to begin with.
