1The Grand Reopening is a Crossover/Alternate-Universe fanfic, a sequel/prequel to ''Fanfic/TheWedding''. Like how the previous story is a copy of ''Theatre/MammaMia'', this one is a copy of ''Film/MammaMiaHereWeGoAgain''. Alongside ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'', ''Literature/ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents'', and ''WesternAnimation/MakingFiends'', this one includes ''WesternAnimation/MrPeabodyAndSherman'' characters.

3The plot, in short, goes like this: Five years after ''The Wedding'', Pacifica had Violet’s manor refurbished [[spoiler: to honor her after she passes away]]. We also take a look fifteen years in the past watching Violet graduate from Harvard, travel to Italy, buy the manor, and break up with Duncan.

11!!Tropes that apply to ''The Grand Reopening'':
12
13* AdaptedOut: The storm that puts everything to a hold is omitted.
14* AdvertisedExtra: [[spoiler: Penny, Sherman,]] and Fiona.
15* BabiesMakeEverythingBetter: [[spoiler: Pacifica and Penny]] both have children in this story.
16* BusCrash: [[spoiler: Violet]], even though she was in perfect health in The Wedding. WordOfGod says [[spoiler: she died from a brain tumor]].
17* CompositeCharacter: Mabel and Isadora assume the roles of Tanya and Rosie interchangeably. Quigley assumes the roles of Harry and Fernando.
18* ContinuityNod: The Baudelaire fortune is mentioned in Chapter Five.
19* TheCoverChangesTheGender: The subject of "When I Kissed the Teacher" is changed from male to female.
20* TheCoverChangesTheMeaning:
21** "I've Been Waiting For You" originally had an ambiguous tone amongst listeners (it was unclear whether it was about someone meeting their True Love, having a [[LoveRevelationEpiphany revelation over their relationship]] or if they were a delighted {{stalker|withacrush}} that had finally got their way), but the fanfic changed the lyrics almost completely to be about how [[spoiler: Pacifica]] is looking forward to being a mother.
22** Averted with "Andante, Andante", which was originally about playing the piano but the lyrics implied otherwise anyway. The fanfic exploits this as Violet sings it flirtily to Duncan a week into their relationship.
23** Not only is the aforementioned "When I Kissed the Teacher" repurposed to be a song about youths finding freedom instead of a TeacherStudentRomance, we also have "Waterloo", which was originally about a woman accepting the fact that she'll never escape a terrible relationship, and is repurposed to be about Quigley "surrendering" to his newfound crush on Fiona and confessing his feelings to her to get her to take his virginity.
24** "My Love, My Life" is originally about realizing you're about to break up for good, but in this fanfic, it's about how much your friends care about you, [[spoiler: even in death]].
25* DancePartyEnding: Like the last story, the cast puts on a performance for their audience, [[spoiler: including Violet]].
26* DecompositeCharacter: Penny [[spoiler: and Violet]] portray [[spoiler: Donna]], young and old version, respectively.
27* DistantDuet: Pacifica and Dipper have one in Chapter Two.
28* {{Flashback}}: To [[TurnOfTheMillennium 2009]].
29* IvyLeagueForEveryone: Violet (the valedictorian), Isadora, and Mabel graduate from Harvard University.
30** Klaus even goes to Dartmouth College and Isadora went back to school at Columbia University.
31* JukeboxMusical: Just like the film it’s based on.
32* MorningSickness: [[spoiler: Pacifica]] wakes up the morning of the [[TitleDrop grand reopening]] realizing she is pregnant.
33* OriginsEpisode
34* SeriesContinuityError: In the first story, Violet doesn’t understand how Pacifica knew about her breakup with Duncan, but in this story, she is seen comforting her in Chapter Nine.
