History Fanfic / SecondChanceAtLove

[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9759065/1/Second-Chance-at-Love Second Chance at Love]] is a WesternAnimation/TotalDrama fan fiction made by Creator/RufusTSerenity.

* BastardBoyfriend: Duncan. He very bluntly tells Leshawna that he is only with Gwen for sex.

* AlternateUniverseFic: Unique for the author’s stories, this one takes place in an alternate continuity from the show. Mostly this is shown in the events of World Tour, but many of the bits referring to Action also tell of different events. The biggest changes to the overall seasons are Harold beating Duncan at the finale of Action, and Heather winning after beating Alejandro during World Tour’s finale. The greater difference lie in which couples formed in this version of events. Outside of Gwen/Duncan (which is ended by the story’s end), none of the official canon couples are present. By the time the story begins, the couples are Harold/Heather, Tyler/Eva, Noah/Bridgette, Geoff/Izzy, DJ/Courtney, Justin/Katie, Owen/Sadie, and Ezekiel/Beth. By the end of the story, its implied Gwen will hook up with Trent.

* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: Everyone is shocked by how good Izzy's arguement about why Cody should choose Lindsay over Leshawna is, which also counters Courtneys point about why he should do the opposite.

* DidNotThinkThisThrough: Duncan, during his fight with Leshawna, brags about the sexual demands Gwen's willing to do for him and admits he only with her for sex. Later, he lies to Gwen, saying that Leshawna attacked him first and tha he was trying to protect Alejandro; this goes badly for him, as not just Leshawna told Gwen the truth, but mentioned one of the sexual demands that Duncan talked about, proving to Gwen that Duncan's the one lying. Gwen, now knowing that Duncan was using her, and hadn't quit his bullying, criminal ways, breaks up with him.

* EntitledToHaveYou: Sierra to Cody. She consider Cody to be hers, in her own words, "He's always been mine, even before I knew he existed! I saw it in dreams after I first saw him on Total Drama Island. From that moment, I knew that we were meant to be!" She later drops this after her beating from Eva.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Gwen wanted Duncan to stop being a bully and was sadden to learn he did not stop. This was one of the reasons she breaks up with him.

* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Lindsay at times, at least up until chapter 5 where shes only 'acting' like she's not actively trying to seduce Cody into sleeping with her.

* LetsJustBeFriends: Despite everything Cody went thought because of Sierra he told her he was willing to be friends with her. She refused this at first. But a few weeks later in intensive care thanks to a beating from Eva changed her mind on the subject.

* {{Polyamory}}: In the tenth chapter, Leshawna and Lindsay tell Cody they want to share him. They even went so far as to have sex with each other before hand to ensure that they wouldn’t be robbed of the benefits of a polyamorous relationship.

** For Sierra, he tells her he does not love her and point out that she does not really love him, as she's a stalker that see him as a living toy that exists only for her delusional fantasies and pleasure.

* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Both Lindsay and Leshawna are attracted to Cody, at least in part, because of how much of a nice guy he is. Gwen is this to a lessor extent.

* SpoiledSweet: Lindsay is one of the nicest people on the show, and also comes from one of the richest families in Canada, living in a fifty room house with ten cars.

* MenActWomenAre: Lindsay believes this literally. As much as she wants to sleep with Cody, she believes the man has to initiate the sex not the woman. This worked out well, as it meant Leshawna was able to walk in on Cody about to give in to Lindsay's attempted seduction of him, rather than walking in on the two walking sex.

* MarshmallowHell: Cody is being fought over by the two bustiest girls on the island. It's a given this would happen. At one point they both do it to him 'together', effectively smothering him. After the RelationshipUpgrade, it moves to Marshmallow Heaven, as Cody no longer needs to control himself and can enjoy it without feeling guilty.

* AllWomenAreLustful: Leshawna and Lindsay both want to have sex with Cody, and both try seduce him into making the first move.

* DatingCatwoman: A downplayed example, with three of the show's nicest guys (Tyler, DJ and Harold) dating the toughest and/or meanest girls; Eva, Courtney and Heather, respectively.
