4''FanFic/BrewdeningLove'' is a ''[[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Twilight]]'' fanfiction. Throughout the years, however, a group of snarkers from the Twilight Sucks forum has added bits of {{Fanon}} to it, making it grow larger and larger until it became a true ExpandedUniverse, if not an Expanded ''{{Multiverse}}''. Later the guys at Twilight Sucks have switched from snarking chapters of the original fic to writing new fics based on this fanon.

10[[folder:Tropes general to the BLEU]]
11* AscendedExtra: Hugo Smith, Joan's father, is usually more than just a "drunken bastard".
12** Also, Brian, who only appears around chapter 27 or so of the original fic, is usually given a lot more presence.
13** Father James Holden, weirdly, is usually more important as well, becoming TheFundamentalist and a MentorArchetype for Joan.
14* AscendedMeme: Hugo having many jobs is the usual explanation for Erin's constantly changing her mind about his occupation.
15** Is there one fic where Brian speaks without saying that he's the FBI ?
16* BackStory: A lot is usually added to the canon material.
17%%* CharacterDevelopment:
18* TheFundamentalist: Joan and Father James Holden, at least, are depicted this way 99% of the time. Other characters like Jenny and Becca can be, too, DependingOnTheWriter.
19* InconsistentColoring: Due to Erin's NegativeContinuity, Joan is described with both blue and green eyes within the original content. Some fics will keep that while others will stick to one color.
20* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Most Brugo fics (especially Puzzle's) use this to explain Brian's prolonged absence during ''Fanfic/BrewdeningLove''.
21* JerkAss: Joan
22* OfficialCouple: [[PortmanteauCoupleName Brugo]]. Many fics introduce Brian earlier, or start with his introduction, just to spread the Brugo love.
23* OlderThanTheyLook: Brian usually is, to match his age to Hugo despite being able to pass for a teenager.
24* PyroManiac: Brian usually has hints of this, due to his SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome in BL being burning down Joan's house.
25* SlashFic: Since the OfficialCouple is a gay couple, this is to be expected.
26* StraightGay: Brian and Hugo.

53
54It can be found [[http://www.tsdcv3.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=twilightfics&thread=1519&page=8#85176 here]].

58** Brian IS the FBI.
59* BigDamnHeroes: The S.S. Snark crew [[spoiler:shoot Erin's godawful drawing to save Brian and Hugo.]]
60* BrownNote: Erin's last drawing is so hideous it would cause your eyes to spontaneously combust.

68[[/folder]]

72
73[[http://www.tsdcv3.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=twilightfics&thread=1519&page=22#104344 Here is the link to the last chapter]], which includes links to the other chapters.

82* HeelRealization: Brian [[spoiler:when he realizes Hugo [[LoveRedeems loved him all along]].]]

85* PapaWolf: Hugo [[spoiler:although he's ultimately unable to protect her]].
86* {{Phobia}}: It's mentioned a few times that Brian was once terrified of water and that some of that fear still lingers. WordOfGod says this is because his parents died of drowning when he was young.
87* PlayingWithFire: Brian's specialty. He's code-named Agent Ardere (''Ardere'' means ''to burn'' in Latin) for a reason.
88* RageAgainstTheMentor: [[spoiler:Brian sort of pulls this against the Unit whent they go against Hugo.]]
89* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:Brian, to save Joan. In a subversion, Brian survives due to both being a hybrid and Hugo's skills as a doctor.]]
90[[/folder]]
91
92[[folder:Stalker Evidence Diary]]
93''Stalker Evidence Diary'' is a fic by Chibithulhu, AKA troper Tropers/FireYoshi. It is a retelling of ''FanFic/BrewdeningLove'' from Edward's point of view, through a diary he writes as evidence for the police. In this fic's continuity, Edward is used to crazy stalkers, as it is set after FanFic/TwilaTheGirlWhoWazInLuvWithAVampyre, and when he sees Joan, he recognizes a new stalker.
94
95It can be found on the Twilight Sucks thread.
96
97!!''Stalker Evidence Diary'' contains example of:
98* {{Angrish}}: Joan, when Edward tells her he and Jenny have to talk to her.
99-->'''Joan:''' [=Ohmygoddidshestealyouawayfrommethat[BITCHITOLDherIlikedyouIhopeyoudieyoumanstealingwhoregotohellsinnerdieJennydiedie''DIIIIE''!=]
100* AscendedMeme: In the original ''FanFic/BrewdeningLove'', Erin sometimes used her name instead of Joan's. Here, Edward notices this and it (understandably) creeps him out.
101** Also the "Hey I'm everyone, Joan !"
102** "OHMYGOD- But not God God 'cause that's blasphemy FUCK OFF SINNARS" is basically a better-spelled version of Erin's rantings.
103* BerserkButton: A few.
104** Don't even think about being around Edward with Joan.
105** Jasper goes kinda nuts after Maria dies.
106* CallForward: Joan screaming "Die Jenny DIE" is apparently normal, considering Chapter 37 of the original fic.
107* DeadpanSnarker: Edward has shades of this on a good day.
108* DrivesLikeCrazy: Alice.
109* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: Twice almost in a row. One is quoted below at the PaintingTheMedium entry, and the other is:
110-->'''Joan:''' Hey I'm everyone, Joan!! And I'm currently dating your spunky bro here!
111-->(Yes, she said that.)
112* OverlyLongName: Edward notices how most crazy stalkers he meets have one.
113* MythologyGag: Rosalie's canon backstory is compared to Edward's situation, as mentioned below, and Jasper's goldfish is named Maria, after the vampire who turned him.
114* PaintingTheMedium: This quote in particular:
115--> '''Joan:''' Ward is MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE! MINE! MINE! MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111
116-->(Yes, she actually said all those exclamation points. And the ones.)
117* ShoutOut: [[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Rosalie's backstory]] is compared to Edward's situation.
118** Also one to [[FanFic/TwilaTheGirlWhoWazInLuvWithAVampyre Twila]] in the backstory.
119* StalkingIsLove: Completely averted.
120* StalkerWithACrush: Joan.
121* {{Troll}}: Emmett and Alice further perpetuate Joan's delusions by pretending they ''are'' vampires.
122[[/folder]]
123
124[[folder:Brooding Lust]]
125''Brooding Lust'' is a fic by Talys Alankil, a.k.a. fellow troper {{Tropers/Alarielle}}. It's a retelling of the original fic, adding logic, a coherent plot, CharacterDevelopment, {{Fanon}}, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and a good dose of grammar and spelling]]. It reprises the Unit and the concept of hybrids from ''Verbo et Opere'' (among other, smaller pieces of fanon) and adds original creations.
126
127It now has a sequel, called ''Brooding Impostor'', centered on FanFic/ArianaVampireQueen, but still continuing with the main characters of Brooding Lust.
128
129It can be found [[http://talysalankil.deviantart.com/gallery/30348978 here]].
130
131!!''Brooding Lust'' contains example of:
132* ActionGirl: Jenny loves sports and martial arts, and is particularly good at fencing.
133* Adorkable: Jacob.
134* AscendedMeme: The Bus to Apocalypse from chapter three, a typo in the original fic, is turned into an actual nickname for the school bus that almost runs over Joan.
135* BadAssNormal: Lynne can beat vampire while being fully human and having only known about vampires for a week.
136* BettyAndVeronica: Jacob and Emmett to Jenny, [[LampshadeHanging who notices it]].
137* BilingualBonus: One of the chapters is named "Savoir", in reference to Erin's typoed chapter title. In the chapter, Joan learns Edward's true nature, and "savoir" is the French word for "to know".
138* TheChessmaster: Parere. Definitely Parere.
139* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: [[spoiler:Lewis Donna, DitzyGenius, also studies vampires]].
140* DarkerAndEdgier
141* DeadpanSnarker: Britney (especially since her POV chapter is entirely devoted to bashing Joan), James and Agent Parere are the most serious offenders.
142* {{Determinator}}: Lynne will do ''anything'' to avenge her daughter.
143* TheDitz: Joan mentions several times that Esme "MC" Cullen appears to be really stupid.
144-->'''Esme''' (after Emmett Cullen, ''her adoptive son'', was just killed by the rest of the family): Cookies?
145** That scene is also a reference to the same scene in ''FanFic/BrewdeningLove'' where Esme does indeed enter the room with cookies after Emmett's murder; there's more emphasis placed on it here.
146** [[spoiler: As of chapter twelve, it seems like there may be something more to Esme than that, considering the respect Carlisle seems to show her.]]
147** [[spoiler:Now confirmed that she was (and is) indeed ObfuscatingStupidity]]
148* DitzyGenius: Jenny's father.
149* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:Agent Lux]].
150* TheEmpath: The vampire [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin empaths]]. And the hybrids created by those empaths.
151* EveryoneLooksSexierIfFrench: Lynne mentions a few times she can be very seductive if she wants to be.
152* ExactWords: The Unit uses "blood pacts" which rely heavily on this. James has learned to pay attention to it, of course.
153* ExtremeDoormat: Esme seems like one.
154* FamilyEyeResemblance: Joan has her mother's green eyes, inspired by ''Verbo et Opere''.
155* ItsPersonal: Hugo tells Lynne to be careful and not focus on the Cullens too much… until he learns Joan is dating their prime suspect, Edward Cullen.
156* KilledMidSentence: [[spoiler:Agent Lux.]]
157* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Britney. In the ''prologue'', no less.]]
158** Now [[spoiler:Agent Lux]] as well.
159** And [[spoiler:James]].
160* {{Magitek}}: The Unit's equipment.
161* MarryThemAll: [[spoiler: Eventually, Emmett, Jacob and Jenny agree to this.]]
162* MysticalWhiteHair: Agent Parere has silver hair due to being a hybrid.
163* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Agent Parere is a witch, a vampire hybrid and head of the Unit.
164* OriginalCharacter: Britney and Lynne Epieu, John Stark, and Agent Parere are the most important of them.
165* OurVampiresAreDifferent: The author made up new vampire mythos, only using the ''FanFic/BrewdeningLove'' canon information — which is not a lot — as a starting point. Vampires can either have to drink blood or "eat" souls. The more they drink or eat, the more "honor" they gain, which increases their naturally enhanced strength, speed, and stamina. Honor also serves as a hierarchy, since every vampire can feel another's honor. A human gets turned into a vampire by drinking a vampire's blood, dying, and in turn feeding off of another human; however, when a vampire feeds on a human without killing them, they can also turn into "hybrids", which gives them parts of the vampire's abilities.
166* PimpedOutDress: Agent Parere wears one when she isn't working in the field.
167* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: James. He comes from a time where surnames were only for the noblemen. And he learned to ignore pain two thousand years ago.
168* TheReveal: For the reader only: Emmett implies in chapter four that the Cullens clearly aren't Christian. Joan doesn't know it, however.
169** [[spoiler:She does now, but clearly doesn't care anymore.]]
170** A more classic Reveal is [[spoiler:Agent Parere's identity.]] Which was the subject of {{WMG}} beforehand.
171* SacrificialLamb: [[spoiler:Britney]] exists for the sole purpose of introducing Joan and Edward before being rather speedily offed.
172* ShoutOut: Trying to, at least. Some of them are more obscure than others.
173** To ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'': The prologue (namely [[spoiler:the point-of-view character from the prologue dying at the end of it]]) and the point-of-view character system, as well as John Stark (CompositeCharacter of Jon Snow and Robb Stark in terms of appearance and personality).
174** To ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'': The method of turning a person into a vampire (has to drink vampire blood, die and then drink human blood). And Alaric Saltzmann, though he is a biology teacher here.
175** To ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'': The idea for the vampires' "honor" system is based on the Aes Sedai hierarchy.
176** A shout-out to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzYpXgZw-5o this cover]] of the song [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII ''Eternal Love'']].
177** Brian's introduction is all but identical to his one in "Verbo Et Opere".
178* ThirdLineSomeWaiting: There are three main plotlines. They of course blend together more and more as the story goes.
179** Joan's twu wuv with Edward.
180** Lynne's investigation of the murder of her daughter.
181** The Unit's attempt to take down the Cullen coven.
182* TomboyAndGirlyGirl : Jenny likes sports and is looked down on by Joan because of this.
183* TheUnfavourite: Emmett, who used to be a {{Mook}} working for the Volturi, is now little more than the Cullens' DumbMuscle.
184* UnreliableNarrator: Each chapter is written from the point of view of various characters, and each of them has their own interpretation of what they see, as well. For instance, Joan is amazed by the Cullens' house, while Lynne immediately notices how fake it looks.
185
186!!''Brooding Impostor'' contains example of:
187* ActionMom: Tim's mom, Cassie, is a witch who helps the fight against Ariana.
188* DarkAndTroubledPast: Tim and his mother found something out about the Cullens and fled Forks. They also crossed paths with Ariana before that, and she's now back in their life. Complete with LaserGuidedAmnesia for Tim.
189** Mark's backstory also counts.
190* KilledOffForReal: Another character dies in the prologue. This time, it's [[spoiler:Damien Thorn]].
191* {{Yandere}}: Ariana, big time. Seems to be a mix of both possessive AND obsessive.
192[[/folder]]
193
194[[folder:An Unnamed Fic]]
195This fic has yet to be named, and is written by Hlessi-Roo, A.K.A {{Tropers/Falconstar}}. It focuses on three [[NonHumanSidekick animal sidekicks]] of heroines from various universes: Gwethelyn the otter, Adlef the dolphin, and Jake the ferret (well, [[spoiler:two sidekicks of the local Mary Sue and a villain's sidekick]]) being turned MarySueHunter by a special FBI unit. Along with Brian, they go to the "bubble" of a dangerous target… Guess who it is.
196
197It can be found in the Twilight Sucks thread, or [[http://aurorabat123.deviantart.com/gallery/# here]].
198
199!!This fic contains example of:
200* CanisLatinicus: The FBI uses this.
201* CoolGate: The portals.
202* DeadpanSnarker: Especially Jake, it seems. Brian has hints of this, too.
203* HiveMind: The "drones" (i.e. characters not fully fleshed out) sort of have this: they have no real purpose in life unless and until the self-insert gives them one.
204* ImprobableAge: Brian, instead of being [[OlderThanTheyLook older than he looks]], is indeed very young, in his early twenties. This was intentional on the part of the FBI, who "wanted people who didn't show up on the political radar for this mission".
205* KaleidoscopeEyes: Joan usually has (very bright) green eyes, but they sometimes appear blue. This is, as mentioned in the general tropes, a ShoutOut to Erin's lack of continuity.
206* MarySueHunter: The whole premise.
207* NonHumanSidekick: What the three main characters (and many unnamed characters) used to be. One of them was actually part of a CuteAnimalCrowd.
208* OverlyLongName: Naturally, all the Sueish people have one.
209* {{Sidekick}}: Jenny to Joan. She's even under her control.
210* SoftWater: Averted. Adlef and Gwethelyn are hurt as badly by falling into the ocean as Brian and Jake by falling into the woods (ItMakesSenseInContext).
211* [[TalkingAnimal Talking Animals]]: And ''singing'', too.
212* TakeThat: At Music/JustinBieber.
213-->''And even though a Justin Bieber song didn't really count as a "ballad".''
214* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: To kill one of the Mary Sues, they ''blow up the entire forest''.
215[[/folder]]
216
217[[folder:The Impossible Dream]]
218''The Impossible Dream'' is a fic by Tropers/AnyaThePurple, creating backstory for Hugo and Brian's teenage years in Forks, with Hugo's stepfather being our favorite Father James Holden.
219
220It can be found [[http://anyathepurple.deviantart.com/ here]]. More chapters are available on the Twilight Sucks forum if you're willing to browse it.
221
222!!''The Impossible Dream'' contains example of:
223
224* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Mary, Holden's daughter, has a mild case of this.
225* CrossOver : With ''Series/{{Buffy|The Vampire Slayer}}.
226* TheFundamentalist: Most of Forks is turned into this. Father James Holden is especially bad, but even he's nowhere as crazy as Carlisle and Erin, who nearly murdered Hugo when he admitted to not believing in God.
227* [[LoveTriangle Love Quadrangle]]: Hugo is clearly in love with Brian but [[CanNotSpitItOut is too shy to admit it]], Brian is ObliviousToLove , Mary has an immediate crush on Brian and Erin has had a crush on Hugo for years and pretends they are dating.
228** Hugo and Brian are now dating, but the situation is no less tricky considering [[spoiler:Erin is pregnant with Riley's child after a one night stand, yet still seems obsessed with Hugo.]]
229* MissingMom: Hugo's mother died of Leukemia three years before the fic begins. Mary's mom isn't there, either.
230* OnlySaneMan: Hugo, before Brian comes to town.
231* TakingTheBullet: Brian takes a dodgeball for Mary, as the gentleman he is.
232* TheRival: Carlisle to Brian.
233* RougeAnglesOfSatin: Father James Holden '' preaches'' like this. Weirdly enough, he doesn't seem to talk like this the rest of the time, implying it's actually part of their {{Cult}}.
234* EvenTheGuysWantHim: It's implied that many girls (and obviously Hugo) want to date Brian.
235* ShoutOut: The title to ''Theatre/ManOfLaMancha'' and the appearance of the Initiative from ''Series/{{Buffy|The Vampire Slayer}}'', among others.
236** Including Creator/PhilipPullman and many, many [[TheMusical musicals]] .
237** Actually, the amount of Theatre/ManOfLaMancha references are also a ShoutOut to ''Literature/GoingBovine'' by Creator/LibbaBray .
238** On Deviantart only, one that doubles as a TakeThat to the original ''FanFic/BrewdeningLove'': the "love heart" dividers. And of course, Erin being a character. And another one being Father James Holden quoting word-for-word what he says in BL.
239* WellIntentionedExtremist: Mary, Hugo's stepsister. In his own words, ''"It wasn't that she was mean to him--and that was what made living with her so hard. She honestly meant well."''
240* LikeBrotherAndSister: Carlisle and Erin are often seen as a duo, though there's no romance between them.
241[[/folder]]
242

251[[/folder]]
252

264* [[WellDoneSonGuy "Well Done, Daughter" Girl]]: Joan, weirdly.

274* ArtisticLicenseGeography: Once more, the characters drive from Forks all the way to Italy to go see the Volturi.
275* DearNegativeReader: A parody of how Erin starts every fic she writes.
276* FlatWhat: An "accidental" one, due to lack of proper punctuation.
277* RougeAnglesOfSatin: Of course.
278* ShockAndAwe: Pikachu, unlike in chapter one.
279* StealthParody: Unless you read the author note (or this page), you could easily believe this is actually Erin's work. [[spoiler:Until the end.]]
280[[/folder]]
281
282[[folder:Fight Truelove!]]
283''Fight Truelove!'' is a fic by Fyra. It is a retelling of ''Truelove Fight'', the ''FanFic/BrewdeningLove'' SpinOff including Franchise/{{Pokemon}}, and told from the point of view of the Pikachu that is supposedly the villan of the fic.

293* MediumAwareness: It's Pikachu's ''job'' to star in CrossOver [[FanFic fanfics]], so obviously this trope applies.
294* PaperPeople: Pikachu views Edward as if he was made of cardboard. Doubles as a VisualPun, [[DontExplainTheJoke to mock the characters being two-dimensional]].
295* PowerLimiter: The author puts one on Pikachu.
296* RougeAnglesOfSatin: How Erin and the ''FanFic/BrewdeningLove'' characters speak. The other characters (and the narration, being Pikachu) speak normally.
297* HubLevel: The aptly-named Fiction Hub.
298* TheVoice: Erin materializes as this.
299* VoicesAreMental: Joan, being an AuthorAvatar, has Erin's voice.

302[[folder:Nightmare Moon]]
303''Nightmare Moon'' is a fic by Graceful Lament, a.k.a. Esoteric Angel. It could be considered a ''[[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Twilight]]''[=/=]''FanFic/BrewdeningLove'' CrossOver (yes, that's possible), taking place at some point in the ''[[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Twilight]]'' canon… with a twist: the ''Twilight'' books and movies were made and released, giving the Cullens a huge fandom. One of these [[{{Fangirl}} Fangirls]] is none other than our [[SarcasmMode sweet]] Joan St. Sanctuary Louisa-Smith, who thinks {{God}} intended for Edward to be hers.
304
305It can be found [[http://esotericangel.deviantart.com/ here]].
306
307!!''Nightmare Moon'' contains example of:
308* ActionGirl: Regina, on top of the female vampires and werewolf.
309* AxCrazy: Regina has hints of this.
310* BadassBoast: Regina does one. A crazy one, but still.
311-->"WHO DO YOU THINK I AM? I'M REGINA FREAKIN' CULLEN! NOW SHOW YOURSELF! OR ARE YOU TOO SCARED BY MY OBVIOUS AWESOMENESS?"
312* BadassNormal: Regina. Brian, too, but that's usual for him by now.
313* BigNo: Joan, when her father grounds her and takes away her cell phone and Internet privileges.
314* {{Bowdlerise}}: Joan doesn't swear in here at all, even when quoting the original material. Not that this is a bad thing.
315* BunnyEarsLawyer: Regina is a Bunny Ears Vampire Hunter.
316-->"But I always wear these when I have to break down a door. That and my bunny ears. It's what I do."
317* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Regina.
318-->"I think I just imprinted on my flamethrower."
319* CoolCar: The tank-van.
320** The [[AscendedMeme Bus to Apocalypse]] as well.
321* DeadpanSnarker: All the Cullens to some extent. And Bella, surprisingly.
322%%%%* EmbarrassingNickname: ''Ward'', of course.
323%%* FieryRedhead: Regina.
324* GenkiGirl: Alice is supposed to be this. Mike even [[LampshadeHanging says it word-for-word]].
325* HypocriticalHumor: Joan thinking "What kind of name was Regina?" Keep in mind that her name is ''[[OverlyLongName Joan St. Sanctuary Louisa-Smith]]''.
326* ICallItVera: Regina's flamethrower's name is Fred. He doesn't like Jasper very much.
327* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: MCR blows! [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Muse is where it's at!]]
328%%* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:[[MurderTheHypotenuse Bella]] and Charlie.]]
329%%** [[spoiler:Joan.]]
330%%* LesYay: Rosalie and Leah, of all people.
331* ManipulativeBastard: Anne Withcombe, the mayor's assistant, is the one coming up with all the strategies to marketize the vampires as much as possible.
332* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: They call Jasper the God of War. There's a very good reason for that.
333* OriginalCharacter: Regina Cullen.
334* PlayingWithFire: Regina. She also converted the other Cullens (specifically Emmett) to this.
335* RoomFullOfCrazy: Joan's room, sort of. She has an Edward doll among other things. And she talks to the doll.
336* ShoutOut: [[MemeticMutation Well, excuuuuse me, princess!]]
337** The Bloody Good (canned synthetic blood) is suspiciously similar to [[Series/TrueBlood TruBlood]].

340* StepfordSmiler: All the Cullens, especially Alice with her cheerful persona.
341* StupidSexyFlanders: Stupid Sexy Vampires, what Charlie thinks word-for-word. And then goes on to have a disturbing image of Esme.

343--> '''Joan:''' You know, I had a dream about you last night!
344--> '''Emmett:''' And then you wrote it down, and got it published, and made a boatload of money off it.
345* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Leah and Rosalie, [[LesYay who are also a couple]].
346* WishFulfillment: Joan writes fanfics of being in a couple with Edward. Said fics sound very much like ''FanFic/BrewdeningLove''.
347* WouldntHitAGirl: Edward, as much as he'd like to, can't be rude to a girl. Of course, Carlisle wouldn't appreciate it if he was, so he's also forced into this trope a bit.
348[[/folder]]
349
350[[folder:Stay By Me]]

356* AccidentalInnuendo: Hugo tells Brian to hide in the bedroom when Joan comes home.
357* AllJustADream: [[spoiler:Brian thought it was one for a second]].
358* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:Brian tries to do it again, but Hugo won't hear any of it.]]

361[[/folder]]
362
363[[folder:A Bitter Eden]]
364''A Bitter Eden'' is another fic by fellow troper {{Tropers/PuzzleChick}}. In it, the vampires have decided to TakeOverTheWorld from humans. Hugo lives in Forks, turned by Father James Holden into a walled fortress of Christianity ("proven" as the "true religion" since it repels vampires) and trying not to question the isolationist regime, while Brian is the son of San Francisco's leader of [[LaResistance the resistance]] against the vampires.
365
366The first chapter can be found [[http://www.tsdcv3.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=twilightfics&thread=1519&page=33#119620 here]]. Other chapters follow in the thread. All the chapters can also be found compiled [[http://puzzlechick.deviantart.com/gallery/30318099 here]].
367

369

373* ArrangedMarriage: What happens if you don't find a spouse yourself by your twentieth birthday.
374* [[BigDamnHeroes Big Damn Hero]] : Brian saves Hugo when he goes beyond the wall.
375* BreakTheCutie: Hugo gets broken over and over and over again.
376* ChildhoodFriends: Hugo and Louisa.
377* ClusterFBomb: Brian doesn't hesitate to drop the bomb, both in the dialogue and in the narration from his point of view.
378* DevilInPlainSight: Father James Holden. Seriously.
379* DisappearedDad: Hugo's.
380* DynamicEntry: Brian blows up Forks' gates when they don't let him in. If that doesn't qualify him for this trope, nothing does.

382* HesJustHiding: [[spoiler:Brian's death is believed to be fake by… pretty much everyone.]]
383** [[spoiler:Turns out, everyone was right. But he wasn't safe and sound either.]]
384* HiddenElfVillage: Forks becomes this because of Father James Holden.
385* LaResistance: Brian's mother leads one, and ther groups are mentioned. According to Father James Holden, they are getting slaughtered.
386** Of course, [[UnreliableNarrator who knows]] [[DevilInPlainSight how accurate]] that information is.
387** As it turns out, [[spoiler:they're actually vanishing.]]
388* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Brian tells Hugo all about [[LaResistance the resistance]]. Guess [[DevilInPlainSight who]] Hugo goes and shares this information with? Sure, it seemed like the right thing to do until it led to [[spoiler:Richard's death.]]
389* ObliviousToLove: Hugo, definitely. He thinks Brian questioning him about his relationship with Louisa is because he's interested in the woman. [[JustifiedTrope Of course]], it only makes sense considering Hugo's upbringing.
390* PlayingWithFire: Brian's mother did this for a living as a pyrotechnic, before using it to kill vampires. (And passed the habit on to Brian.)
391* PrecisionFStrike: Hugo doesn't swear much. When he does, [[OhCrap oh crap]].
392* ReducedToRatburgers: Brian said [[LaResistance the resistance]] reached this point once.
393* ShirtlessScene: When Hugo [[spoiler:treats Brian's gunshot wounds]]. The first of more than a few.
394* TakeOverTheWorld: The vampires mostly did.
395* [[TheMatchmaker The Matchmakers]]: A real institution in Forks; they'll get you at your twentieth birthday.
396* ThereIsOnlyOneBed: In Hugo's room.
397* TooCoolToLive: [[spoiler:Richard Hahnel]]
398* WeHaveToGetTheBulletOut: Partly justified due to lack of modern medicine, partly played for [[RuleOfDrama suspense]].
399* WithAFriendAndAStranger: Louisa as the friend, Brian as the stranger.
400
401!!''In the Garden of Shadows'' contains examples of:
402* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler:Hugo to Brian, after Brian was attacked by empaths at Camp Three.]]
403* ApocalypseHow: [[spoiler:Camp Three.]] Regional, but with a class 3 severity.
404* BrokenTears: Brian, [[spoiler:when he realizes he's been fed on by empaths and will have to be killed.]]
405* TheCharmer: Andrew
406* ClosetKey: Brian is the key for Hugo.
407* DarkAndTroubledPast: Brian's is explored in more detail.
408* DisasterScavengers: Pretty much all of the San Francisco camps are this at some point or another.
409* EatingTheEyeCandy: Hugo does quite a bit of staring at Brian long before any feelings are admitted.
410* EthicalSlut: A lot of the rebels sleep around, and when you're trying to repopulate the world, it's rather encouraged.
411* EvilFormerFriend: Nickolas. Less evil than just bitter, [[spoiler:since Brian killed his brother.]]
412* HappilyAdopted: Charlie.
413* ObliviousToLove: Hugo, much more so. Causes quite a bit of {{angst}} too.
414* TroubledButCute: Andrew flat out says Brian might be crazy, but he's still hot.
415* WrenchWench: Charlie
416
417!!''Revenant of the Serpent'' contains examples of:
418* DownerBeginning: Nothing like [[BreakTheCutie breaking the cutie]] in the opening scene!
419* SuperDrowningSkills: [[spoiler:As a half-breed, Brian]] can no longer swim.
420[[/folder]]
421
422[[folder:Facing the Sue]]
423''Facing the Sue'' is a "Fan"fic by Crazynekokitten on deviantART in which Brian returns to Forks to rescue Richie Smith (not being from the Twilight Sucks forums, the author of the fic didn't assign Mr. Smith the name Hugo) from Joan.
424
425It can be found [[http://crazynekokitten.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2ftx09 here]].
426
427!!Tropes in ''Facing the Sue'' include:
428* AscendedMeme: Brian drives to Canada? Where?
429-->I don't know, but it's like a city or something, try [=MapQuest=]!
430* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Brian comments on Joan's horrible grammar.
431-->Brian winced from the punctuation abuse and caps rape.

435[[folder:Exit Wounds]]

441* {{Angst}}: This is angst redefined in some three hundred words.
442* CanNotSpitItOut: Hugo can't manage to say he would never choose Louisa over Brian, as much as he wants to.
443[[/folder]]
444
445[[folder:Surprise Visit]]
446''Surprise Visit'' is a fic by Talys Alankil, a.k.a. {{Tropers/Alarielle}}, depicting Brian and Hugo's first time, with [[ContinuityNod Continuity Nods]] to ''Stay By Me'' and ''The Impossible Dream''.
447
448It can be found [[http://talysalankil.deviantart.com/#/d46a7aa here]].
449
450!!Tropes in ''Surprise Visit'' include:
451* CallForward: Hugo mentions "sparkling, blood-drinking angels" that Erin will send after Brian, as a joke. It happens (if you subscribe to Erin's idea that the vampires are angels) in chapter 37 of ''Brewdening Love''.
452* LighterAndSofter: This fic is described as "pure, unleashed Brugo fluff". It's definitely LighterAndSofter than Talys' other fic, ''Brooding Lust''.
453* LoveEpiphany: This fic describes Brian's LoveEpiphany for Hugo, and potentially Hugo's for Brian as well.
454* NoNameGiven: Hugo's mother is referred to as such or as Mrs. Smith.

460
461The prologue can be found [[http://www.tsdcv3.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=twilightfics&thread=1519&page=42#127724 here]].

472[[folder:Yet Another Unnamed Fic]]
473This fic by Tropers/PuzzleChick was an entry for the first "Brugo contest". While she did not name it, she said that if she did, she'd name it "FLUFF, FLUFF EVERYWHERE". It's about Brian and Hugo going to New York to get married.

481[[folder:Bonfire of Sparkles]]
482''Bonfire of Sparkles'' is a fic by Talys Alankil, a.k.a. {{Tropers/Alarielle}}, and is an alternate version of the events from chapter 28 onwards, when Brian and Hugo meet for the first time. It rejects the usual {{Fanon}} that Brian and Hugo knew each other for a long time, and makes Brian closer to his original age (since in ''FanFic/BrewdeningLove'' he's in high school with Joan). It's half-CrackFic, half-fluff.
483
484It can be found [[http://talysalankil.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d47gtkk here]].
485
486!!Tropes in ''Bonfire of Sparkles'' include:
487* AscendedMeme: Plenty.
488-->'''Joan:''' OH MY FUCKING GOD — but not god God 'cause that's blasphemy, so fuck off sinnars — You can't leave me! I'm the most sexah girl in the universe! You have to bow down to my will! NO PARTY HAT KITTENS FOR YOU! I hope the Bus to Apocalypse will ram into you!
489* GlassShatteringSound: Joan's screams make the windows shake.
490* PaintingTheMedium: To illustrate how much of a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} Joan is, she and Edward speak like they do in ''FanFic/BrewdeningLove''.
491** Including randomly saying "1111" in the middle of an exclamation point rant.
492* ReligionOfEvil: Sort of. [[spoiler:The Cullens and Volturi end up being not vampires, but leaders of a cult of people who ''think'' they're vampires, drinking human blood and covering their bodies in glitter.]]
493[[/folder]]
494
495[[folder:Snap]]
496''Snap'' is a fic by Chibithulhu, a.k.a. Tropers/FireYoshi. It continues the original ''FanFic/BrewdeningLove'' after chapter 37.
497

499
500!!Tropes in ''Snap'' include:
501* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:More bitter than sweet, actually: Joan ends up completely insane, having almost killed her father and being herself almost killed by Lynne. It would be downright a DownerEnding if not for the fact that… well, it's still Joan.]]
502* BloodSplatteredWeddingDress: [[spoiler:Joan's, because she killed Jenny in it.]]
503* DarkerAndEdgier
504* SanitySlippage: What happens to [[spoiler:Joan]].
505* ShoutOut: To ''Brooding Lust'' above, with the inclusion of Lynne Epieu.

507
508[[folder:Rediscovery]]

510
511It can be found [[http://www.tsdcv3.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=twilightfics&thread=1519&page=46#130633 here]].

514* {{PornWithoutPlot}}: It ''was'' the point of the dare, after all.
515* {{Seme}}: Brian
516* {{Uke}}: Subverted with Hugo, who's quite manly.
517[[/folder]]
518
519[[folder:After a failed birthday]]
520''After a failed birthday'' is a fic by [=TalysAlankil=] / {{Tropers/Alarielle}}, written for the Erinversary 2012 (Erin Locklea's birthday — on deviantArt, at least). It was written one chapter a day for the week of the "contest" surrounding the event. The fic crosses over ''FanFic/BrewdeningLove'', the ''{{[[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Twilight]]'' canon and Talys's own Broodingverse and tells the story of what happens [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin after Joan's failed birthday party]].
521
522!!Tropes in ''After a failed birthday'' include:
523* [[AscendedMeme Ascended Memes]]: Should be expected in a BLEU fic. [[spoiler:Cow Voldemort, the Deer Lord and the Bus to Apocalypse all show up, for instance.]]
524* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Brian and the Unit team.]]
525* TheCameo: Even though some of these are main characters, there presence itself is enough to count as one.
526** [[spoiler:[[AscendedMeme Cow]] [[Literature/HarryPotter Voldemort]] and [[AscendedMeme The Deer Lord]].]]
527** [[spoiler:[[Literature/HarryPotter Minerva McGonagall]]]]
528** [[spoiler:[[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]]]]
529* CrossOver: With the Twilight canon — yes, Brewdening Love is so removed from the canon that it's possible to cross over the two. Later on, it also crosses over with [[spoiler:Literature/HarryPotter]] and [[spoiler:[[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pokémon]]]].
530* LesYay: Between Jenny and Joan.
531* TheMatchmaker: Joan thinks she is this to Dan and Jenny. [[spoiler:[[ObliviousToLove She's wrong]].]]
532* NoodleIncident: Hugo's house burned down at some point in the past. Also counts as an AscendedMeme.
533* ObliviousToLove: Joan to Jenny's crush.
534[[/folder]]
