History Fanfic / LovesSacrifices

** Another example is Mircalla and Elias' grandmother, Lena, who only appears in a few flashbacks of Carmilla's mortal life, and is stated to have died in Elias' early childhood. She is one of the few stable parental figures in her early childhood, and encouraged Mircalla's reading habits. In turn, this got Mircalla and Elias -- especially the latter -- to have a little more fantastical ambitions in life. [[spoiler:Furthermore, it's revealed she is a Petrova, and direct descendant of [[Franchise/TheVampireDiaries Katerina and Nadia Petrova]] -- thereby putting Mircalla, Elias and their father in their bloodline. This is also the reason by beings such as Inanna and her followers set their sights on the Karnstein family in the first place.]]

While this is ''mainly'' a crossover between ''Carmilla'' and ''Film/PitchPerfect'', there are several cameos and references to other works, predominantly ''Film/GingerSnaps'' with it's setting in Bailey Downs -- and [[spoiler:''Series/TheVampireDiariesUniverse'' with revelations of Carmilla's past CanonWelding her history with that of the Mikaelson family.]]

** According to the chapter notes, a sequel fic with ''Series/{{Legacies}}'' is being planned, and this was to establish Carmilla's history with ''Series/TheVampireDiariesUniverse'' through flashback chapters. [[spoiler:Carmilla is a descendant of the Petrova family - thereby making her (at least) an distant aunt to Elena Gilbert, and Isobel Flemming. Furthermore, Carmilla knew the Mikaelson's in the years leading up to her mortal death, and even had a romantic fling with Rebekah Mikaelson. It's also revealed that Inanna was a mentor and adopted mother to Silas, and thought highly enough of him that she named her university after him.]]

** In flashbacks to Carmilla's mortal life as Mircalla Karnstein, [[spoiler:it's revealed that Mircalla's first romantic and sexual relationship was with [[Series/TheVampireDiariesUniverse Rebekah Mikaelson]]. They met when the Mikaelson's stayed with Mircalla and Elias as their wardens. Unfortunately, when Mircalla was later murdered, Rebekah put her behind her as just another fleeting romance that wasn't going anywhere. In the present day, while both Carmilla and Rebekah are seemingly aware of their current survival -- it's mentioned that Laura previously interviewed the Mikaelsons' -- it's unknown if they saw each other again in the centuries after Carmilla was turned, or if their relationship was completely put behind them.]]

* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Of a CanonWelding sort, where the relatives aren't even of the ''same work''. [[spoiler:As part of tying in with ''Series/TheVampireDiariesUniverse'', flashbacks detailing Carmilla's mortal life reveal that the Karnsteins are descendants from Katerina Pretova[=/=]Katherine Pierce, and her daughter Nadia. This would also imply that Carmilla or her brother Elias ''[[AmbiguouslyRelated might]]'' be ancestors to Isobel Flemming and Elena Gilbert -- or at least, distant aunt or uncle.]]

** In a more strait example, according to chapter notes, a sequel is already being planned that will crossover with ''Series/{{Legacies}}''. [[spoiler:This is why the Mikaelsons appear in Mircalla's later flashbacks -- to establish Carmilla as having a history with them. Further welding ''WebVideo/CarmillaTheSeries'' to ''Series/TheVampireDiariesUniverse'', it is revealed that Mircalla and Elias Karnstein are descendants of the Petrova line, with the implication that they could be related to the current Petrova descendant, Elena Gilbert.]]

* DifferentWorldDifferentMovies: While Haddonfield exists in this fic's world, some variation of the ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}'' series exists as InUniverse movies. Unlike the real world series, this version is a duology based on the InUniverse "True Story" of Michael Myers, and the urban legends surrounding him, and were released in the 80's. It's expressly compared to the ''Stab'' series from ''Film/{{Scream}}'', which is also part of this timeline.

--> In 1989, this musician[=/=]director went and made a movie "BasedOnATrueStory" based around the killing spree in '78, and a sequel the following year that was more glamorized, and told its own story. It was kind of like when they made those ''[[Film/{{Scream}} Stab]]'' movies based on what happened in Woodsboro.
--> The [[Film/Halloween2007 first movie]] was based loosely on the actual killing spree, but got backlash for their whitewashing of the killer, and playing him in a sympathetic light. The [[Film/HalloweenII2009 sequel]] was less biographical, and was based on urban legends following the initial killings, such as how the killer's sister supposedly died or disappeared.

* LivingMacGuffin: The Crimson List, which consists of former Silas students and staff who have willingly signed a blood pact with Hastur and Inanna. For this, the Count seeks out these students in hopes of sacrificing them to Hastur in a bid to open the last gate to Hell. At the time of the story, there are few living people on that list, and it's implied [[spoiler:Lamashtu tricked Bella into making a new blood pact with Hastur.]]

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Theo Straka, as per his canon counterpart, is an arrogant, cowardly OpportunisticBastard, and is reduced to a KarmicButtMonkey and TheChewToy for much of his appearances. Initially, he serves as TheDragon to Count Karnstein and Lamasthu, hoping to take revenge on the Silas Gang for his previous imprisonment, and appears to be a lot more passive than his bosses. [[spoiler:Then, while breaking and entering into a house after escaping imprisonment again, Theo cold bloodily kills the family living there himself, including their children.]]

** More often than not, when Lamashtu personally kills someone, there is little to no description of the actual killings or their aftermath. What is usually described is quick and vague, leaving the worst of it to the imagination. When others see the aftermath, it's clear that what happened was ''not'' pretty. And as mentioned in CruelAndUnusualDeath, the rare time we see a full killing by Lamashtu, it's pretty grisly.

* SatanicArchetype: The way Hastur is described, he is a being who tried to usurp the gods of the former world, and invokes LightIsNotGood with his presence being indicated by bright and golden lights. He sired a son named Ithaqua, who while not explicitly TheAntichrist, was at least a DarkMessiah serving as a mediator between mankind and his father. The way Inanna's relationship with Hastur is described, portrays him as a tempter and manipulator; Inanna's former status as the "Queen of Heaven" may even bring to mind both Fallen Angels, and Eve being tempted by the serpent. And speaking of, Hastur's symbols, idols and iconography are heavy on dragon and serpent imagery -- which may even invert this trope; Inanna claims that they inspired the Serpent of Eden and the Dragon of Revelation, indicating that ''Satan'' may be an archetype to ''Hastur''.

** Early on, it is revealed that Chloe grew up in Bailey Downs, a fictional town in [[CanadaEh Ontario]], and a setting of ''Film/GingerSnaps'' and ''Series/OrphanBlack''; it is also where a good chunk of the story takes place. Not only that, but Chloe and her family were neighbors and acquaintances with the Fitzgerald family of the former series. To top it all off, in one flashback chapter, a younger Chloe snuck outside her house and witnessed the Beast of Bailey Downs' attack on Ginger; when she approached the sisters the next day, Brigitte brushed off her concerns to try to keep her out of it.

* CanadaEh: The present day storyline is mostly set in Bailey Downs, a fictional town in Ontario were both ''Film/GingerSnaps'' and ''Series/OrphanBlack'' take place. Cameos of both are featured in this story. It's further shown that Chloe grew up there, thereby making her Canadian as well. Also, Laura and Carmilla are residents of Toronto, while Danny and her agency operate from Ottawa.

** A Downplayed example, but in ''Film/PitchPerfect'', the only time Beca really talks about her past is that she didn't have many friends who were girls. In this story, it's depicted that Beca had one serious "friendship" with a girl named Katerina, that bordered onto a romantic relationship...unfortunately she was a ToxicFriendInfluence, a secret vampire, [[spoiler:and exposed Beca and their small friend group to the influence of an EldritchAbomination.]]

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Lamashtu apparently loves inflicting this. Most of the time, Lamashtu's murders lean into NothingIsScarier and we ''usually'' avoid seeing the worst of it. The few we ''do'' see, tells us that what she normally does is ''not'' pretty. In one such instance, Lamashtu bites an unfortunate victim’s tongue out, before eviscerating him lengthwise, and opening his rib cage, causing his innards to fall out.

** [[spoiler:Whatever Beca saw during her and Katerina's "game" in High School. When put under, Beca saw what could only be described as having horns and wings, and was of a massive size. When she woke up, Beca's mind repressed what she saw; her mind even blocked out the being's name (which is only spelled as "_ _ _ _ _ _ _"). One of Beca's other friends wasn't so lucky, waking up in a MadnessMantra ("''Thamoús, Pan ho mégas téthnēke. Thamous panmégas téthnēke.''") to the point of hospitalization.]]

** Carmilla's adoptive mother, Dean Lilita Morgan aka Inanna. In ''WebVideo/CarmillaTheSeries'', Inanna's goal was to open the gates of Hell and reunite with her lover Hastur in HellOnEarth. At the time of the present day story, the Dean has long since been defeated, but serves as a motivation for the present antagonists. Count Karnstein seeks to undo the good Carmilla did for the world as an act of revenge, by finishing what Inanna started. The Count's followers are seeking the Crimson List -- people who have made a blood pact with Inanna and Hastur -- as further sacrifices. Furthermore, flashbacks to Carmilla's human life show that Inanna had her eyes on Mircalla and her brother Elias, years before Mircalla's murder, and has been influencing and grooming them throughout their childhoods'.

** In flashback chapters dealing with Beca's life in Haddonfield, Michael Myers is this. While Beca is aware of her hometowns infamous history, it never had any real impact on her life; she hasn't even interacted with any characters from the ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}'' franchise -- though it is implied a young boy she babysat ''might'' be [[Film/HalloweenEnds Corey Cunningham]]. Michael Myers is treated as more of an InUniverse UrbanLegend, with the different timelines being treated with BroadStrokes, but these urban legends are more like background noise in Beca's own life.

While this is mainly a crossover between ''Carmilla'' and ''Film/PitchPerfect'', there are several cameos and references to other works, predominantly ''Film/GingerSnaps'' with it's setting in Bailey Downs -- and [[spoiler:''Series/TheVampireDiariesUniverse'' with revelations of Carmilla's past CanonWelding her history with that of the Mikaelson family.]]

* BigBad: The mysterious Count Karnstein, another dark figure of Carmilla's past -- and a relative of hers -- is the leader of a conspiracy to undo her and Laura's heroism, and finish Innana's work as revenge against Carmilla for a yet to be revealed slight. With that said, it's soon revealed his partner in crime, the demoness Lamashtu is [[DragonInChief in more control of things than he is, and is the bigger threat between the two]].

** In the case of ''Film/PitchPerfect'', the source material is a pretty light hearted trilogy, and whatever drama they ''do'' have, they don't go anywhere ''near'' as heavy as this fic. Here, the Barden Bellas are roped into a plot of vampires, cults, elder gods and a conspiracy that entails mass murder. On top of that, Beca is given a DarkAndTroubledPast regarding a toxic relationship she was in, [[spoiler:and an encounter with an EldritchAbomination that she suppressed for years.]] With that said, it's mentioned that the Bellas' had survived a [[Film/{{Scream}} Ghostface]] spree years back, which implies they aren't ''too'' far out of their element.

* MaternalDeathBlameTheChild: Invoked. In onr of his AbusiveParent tactic towards Mircalla, Count Falco would often remind her that her mother died giving birth to her, especially on her birthday. It's made obvious that Falco himself doesn't believe or care about this -- in fact, it's speculated InUniverse that he may have poisoned Jana in an effort to terminate her pregnancy -- but is using this as a reason to put Mircalla down all the time.

* AmbiguousSituation: The identity of the present day Count Karnstein. There are two primary candidates, both from Carmilla's human life as Mircalla. There is Count Falco Karnstein [[spoiler:Carmilla's AbusiveFather, who attempted to have her killed and was subjected to a KarmicTransformation after being left for dead; though it's currently implied he is her brother Elias, who she was once close too, but drifted apart before he eventually murdered her.]]

** From Beca's own flashbacks as a teenager, Katerina was a girl that Beca befriended in her past, and a seeming romantic interest. It's quickly shown that she was a ToxicFriendInflucne and attempted to groom Beca throughout their "relationship". If that wasn't enough, it turns out not only was Katerina a vampire, [[spoiler:but she exposed Beca to an EldritchAbomination during a ritual "game" at a slumber party. While that arc is still ongoing, whatever became of Katerina in the present day left a subconscious impact on Beca that is resurfacing the more she surrounds herself with the supernatural.]]

** When awakened in the seventeenth century, Lamashtu has since gone over various alias' while living among mortals. When she first awoke, she passed herself off as a governess named "Adeen Curt". I’m the present day, she poses as a seemingly timid, but plucky young woman named "Tara Vaughan". It's also briefly mentioned she went by "[[Film/TheBlairWitchProject Elly Kedward]]" for some time.

* AdaptationalKarma: In ''WebVideo/CarmillaTheSeries'', Theo Straka disappears from the show towards the end of the final season, despite murdering Danny, and being TheDragon to Inanna throughout. While his final fate is never brought up in canon, here it's revealed Theo was initially imprisoned for his complicity. While he escapes from prison early on, becoming TheDragon to Count Karnstein, Theo becomes the KarmicButtmonkey and TheChewtoy, suffering all kinds of abuse and indignities over the story. This includes being beaten up, being on the receiving end of emasculating insults and briefly arrested again.
