Adult Fear is now a disambig


* AdultFear:
** Sam almost breaks into tears when she explains her father that Stargate Command accidentally ''left'' men behind on a mission, and the survivors were left to struggle alone for two years until they hijacked a ride back on Earth.
** Goku is horrified by the possibility of being separated from Sanzo.

Added DiffLines:

* InnocentlyInsensitive: An airman asks if Sanzo is a Jaffa after seeing the crimson chakra on his forehead, triggering memories of a youkai almost turning Genjyo into such to be sold as a SexSlave.
* LivingMacGuffin: Genjyo Sanzo, for multiple reasons.
** As the rightful holder of the Maten Sutra, he's a walking weapon of mass destruction and as such, Gyokumen Koushu really wants to kill him. The Tok'ra also want to study him to learn how he can use the sutra, with Selmak trying to lean on SGC to keep Sanzo in their custody.
** To Kanzeon Bosatsu, he's the only foster parent that Goku will accept so she needs him for her plan [[spoiler:to bring the Furlings back from extinction.]]


Added DiffLines:

* PowerStereotypeFlip: O'Neill first refuses to believe the perpetually grumpy and moody Sanzo is TheEmpath because he's not a fount of smiling kindness -- only for Daniel to point that having to feel people's pettiness and cruelty would turn the kindest soul into a miserable asshole.

* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul

to:

* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaulAdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Oh, boy...
** After their mission went bad, Dr Kouryuu Genjyo and Captain Joseph Sha were stranded upon a DeathWorld, with Sha being turned into a hanyou through medical torture and Genjyo almost drowning in a river. Both were extensively mind-fucked by their experiences.
** Cho Hakkai gets possessed by his brother-in-law against his will, is forcefully turned into a youkai and later is accused from said brother-in-law's crimes.



** Becoming Jaffa is a FateWorseThanDeath on Shangri-La, since Gyokumen Koushu uses them as her household slaves. A lot of people will outright commit suicide when threatened with turning.



* ThatManIsDead
* TookALevelInBadass
* WhatsUpKingDude

to:

* ThatManIsDead
ThatManIsDead: Hakkai politely tells O'Neill to stop calling Sha Gojyo "Joseph Sha", as the Air Force captain was rewritten to be the hanyou attendant to a Sanzo after several months of medical torture.
* TookALevelInBadass
TookALevelInBadass: For everyone in Sanzo's party except Son Goku, but it's extremely blatant with Sanzo himself -- Daniel Jackson can barely believe the gun-toting, charismatic priest is the nervous academician that left for Shangri-La.
* WhatsUpKingDudeWhatsUpKingDude: Sanzo's party is quite irreverent towards Kanzeon, blatantly calling her on her flaws and admitting they want to shoot her when she's too annoying. It floors Stargate Command since they are not used to people being that openly critical of the Goa'uld they serve.

* ConflictingLoyalty: Sha Gojyo desperately wants to stay part of Stargate Command, but he cares far too much about Sanzo and his friends to leave them behind. Hammond solving his dilemma by naming him Earth's liaison to Shangri-La almost reduces him to tears.



* GoingNative: Both Sanzo and Sha Gojyo were stuck on Shangri-La for two years, and blending in literally was a matter of life or death for them. After going back to Earth, they quickly realize they feel more at home amongst the youkai and Goa'uld.



* GoodIsNotNice: Sanzo's brand of compassion manifests itself in making the sufferer so angry at him, they won't think about dying anymore.



* LockedIntoStrangeness: Captain Joseph Sha was a brown-eyed brunette, but getting turned into a hanyou against his will colored his hair and eyes crimson.



* PoorCommunicationKills
* TheReveal
* RelatedDifferentlyInTheAdaptation
* SexSlave
* StockholmSyndrome

to:

* PoorCommunicationKills
OurSoulsAreDifferent: Egyptian myth maintained a soul has several components, something that Kanzeon can use to prove transmigration is possible.
* TheReveal
PoorCommunicationKills: Several thousands years of conflict resulted from Kanzeon Bosatsu being unable to admit that [[spoiler:she was a ''Tok'ra agent'' intended for deep cover and was trying to bring the Furling race back]]. Hammond kinda wants to beat his head against the wall when he understands how much of a mess the situation is.
* RelatedDifferentlyInTheAdaptation
TheReveal: [[spoiler:Kanzeon Bosatsu is a ''Tok'ra'', and she aims to bring the Furlings back from extinction through Son Goku.]]
* SexSlave
RelatedDifferentlyInTheAdaptation:
** Konzen Douji was Kanzeon's offspring, but she insisted on calling him her nephew.
** Gonou formerly was Hakkai's brother-in-law.
* StockholmSyndromeSexSlave: Gyokumen Koushu enjoys turning pretty boys into Jaffa to rape and torture them. Sanzo almost was kidnapped to this end when he was Koumyou's apprentice.
* StockholmSyndrome: What Dokugakuji tried to do with Sha Gojyo, by forcing the former Air Force captain to accept his youkai instincts and acting like a gruff but decent brotherly figure -- Gojyo concedes it was more than half effective.

* TheEmpath
* FantasticRacism
* GodsHandsAreTied
* HasAType
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness

to:

* TheEmpath
TheEmpath: Hakuryuu, something that apparently is a racial trait for dragons. It's also rather frequent on Shangri-La, with Kanzeon gleefully encouraging humans to develop the potential, but it's not without drawbacks -- see Sanzo and his [[SarcasmMode sparkling personality]] for how it affects the mood.
* FantasticRacism
FantasticRacism: The Tok'ra ''hate'' youkai for being difficult to manipulate and trick, calling them cannibalistic monsters with Selmak outright refusing to consider Sha Gojyo as smarter than a tiger -- a wild beast that will maim anyone if not kept cowed.
* GodsHandsAreTied
GodsHandsAreTied: Because she promised the Asgard that she wouldn't interfere in her subjects' lives, Kanzeon is unable to directly oppose Gyokumen Koushu's attempts to ignite a race war or to stop the Tok'ra from sabotaging her. She only can use the Sanzos as her troubleshooters.
* HasAType
HasAType: When introduced to Cho Hakkai, Selmak identifies him as not fitting Gonou's criteria as a host but the ones as a romantic partner, allowing him to identify the youkai as Cho Kanan's brother.
* OOCIsSeriousBusinessLoveMakesYouEvil: After his beloved Kanan was abducted to be raped by the Centipede Clan, Gonou forced her brother to become his host and went on a rampage.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Kanzeon is utterly serious and focused when negotiating with the SG-1 team, because a) she really wants for the current mess on Shangri-La to end, the sooner the better, and b) she's a troll of epic proportions but she's not dumb or arrogant enough to make a bunch of ''godslayers'' angry at her.

* AdaptationSpeciesChange
* AdultFear
* BewareTheNiceOnes
* BlueAndOrangeMorality
* DeterminedDoctor

to:

* AdaptationSpeciesChange
AdaptationSpeciesChange: A lot of this, since it's a fusion fic. First and foremost, Kanzeon Bosatsu and Gyokumen Koushu are Goa'uld queens, and a lot of their subordinates are their spawn.
** After Kanzeon meddled with his DNA, Sanzo isn't pure human as in the manga. He's a variant human called a kami.
** [[spoiler:Son Goku is a ''Furling''.]]
* AdultFear
AdultFear:
** Sam almost breaks into tears when she explains her father that Stargate Command accidentally ''left'' men behind on a mission, and the survivors were left to struggle alone for two years until they hijacked a ride back on Earth.
** Goku is horrified by the possibility of being separated from Sanzo.
* BewareTheNiceOnes
BewareTheNiceOnes: Cho Hakkai is quiet and painfully polite and very much ''not'' an homicidal maniac. Maniac implies he has no control over his bloodlust, when he's nothing but meticulous when going on a rampage.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality
BlueAndOrangeMorality: Youkai are clan-oriented, with a tendence for acting like AlphaAndBetaWolves. That means Dokugakuji is perfectly alright with beating Sha Gojyo into the ground and encouraging him to indulge his primal impulses, as the full-blooded youkai sees it as helping a relative to settle in his new life instead of torturing and brainwashing a prisoner.
* DeterminedDoctorDeterminedDoctor: Janet Fraiser doesn't let armed gunmen stop her from extracting a rogue Tok'ra from an unwilling host, slaps Selmak into submission and shows no fear when giving a physical to Hakkai without his limiters.

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/6302518/chapters/14442550 River of Stars]]'' is a ''Series/StargateSG1'' and ''Manga/{{Saiyuki}}'' crossover fic written by Vathara on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn.

Two years ago, an SGC/Tok'ra mission on Shangri-La went badly wrong. The local Goa'uld Queen took advantage... and the survivors just found their way home.

Genjyo Sanzo, meet the Tok'ra. It's going to be ''messy''.
