** Between the worldwide Shadowkhan invasion and Drago's attack on San Francisco, there is a very-nearly BrokenMasquerade in place.

** Po Kong keeps going through hosts quickly, because the [[ImAHumanitarian influx of raw human meat]] she feeds on keeps poisoning them.

''Out of the Corner of the Eye'' is a crossover fanfic by wondertown9 that merges ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' with the Literature/CthulhuMythos.
Four years after JCA's GrandFinale, their world is discovered by the [[EldritchAbomination Outer Gods and Great Old Ones]]. Having long since awakened and [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt reduced their own universe to chaos]], the Old Ones have long since grown bored. Seeing the opportunities presented by this newly found reality, they [[MergedReality superimpose their own on it]], retroactively inserting themselves into it. Now, the Chan Clan and their allies will face threats unlike anything they've ever seen, and this time they may not be able to win...
It is ongoing, and can be found [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12293274/1/Out-of-the-Corner-of-the-Eye here]].
!!Tropes found in this story:
* AfterTheEnd: The Outer Gods and Great Old Ones have long since awakened and reduced their reality to chaos, destroying humanity and Earth as a side effect.
* EnemyCivilWar: Shendu and Drago's fight from the JCA finale has since evolved to this, with the other Demon Sorcerers picking sides between them (Tso Lan, Tchang Zu, Bai Tza, and Xiao Fung ally with Shendu, while Dai Gua, Po Kong, and Hsi Wu side with Drago). This comes to a screeching halt when Hastur appears.
* MagicAIsMagicA: Averted. The Mythos entities operate on a separate level from the chi magic the Chans are used to. White finds it limited.
* MergedReality: Yog-Sothoth and Daoloth impose the Mythos reality on the JCA one, merging them together and retroactively inserting everything Mythos related into the timeline.
* MoleInCharge: Director Joseph White is Captain Black's superior and the guy in charge of both Section 13's administration and its psychology division. He also happens to be a servant of the Outer Gods (implied to be a member of the [[Literature/TheDunwichHorror Whateley]] family) and is manipulating the Chans and their allies to his goals.
* NoodleIncident: Shendu apparently once temporarily regained the Sheep talisman and used it to possess Frederich Nietzsche. He didn't find it a pleasant experience.
* OutsideContextVillain: The Mythos entities, even the ones relatively closer to humanity's level, are like nothing the Chans have ever dealt with before.
* VictoryIsBoring: The Mythos entities who were closest to humanity (Cthulhu, Hastur, Nyarlathotep) have grown bored since wiping them out. It's part of the reason why they eagerly merge realities to have another go at things.
* VoidBetweenTheWorlds: Hastur moves between it easily, which is how he finds the JCA reality.
