Line #22 Fanfic/ThereWillBeMusicDespiteEverything


1	->Padmé Amidala wakes up in the MCU and dodges a car accident. Anakin Skywalker wakes up in the MCU and--[[LaserGuidedAmnesia doesn't]]. years later, Darcy Lewis takes an internship under a Dr. John Foster, and unknowingly gets herself entangled in otherworldly affairs. which sucks, because she really just wanted to pad out her hypothetical job application.
2	-->'''Series summary'''
3
4	A {{Crossover}} series between the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse and the Franchise/StarWars franchises, [[http://archiveofourown.org/series/595543 there will be music despite everything]] posits the question: what if Anakin Skywalker, just after ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'', was somehow transported into the MCU after death? The short answer: he ends up taking on the role of [[CompositeCharacter Dr. John Foster]] in ''Film/{{Thor}}''.
5
6	The long answer: unlike his beloved wife Padmé Amidala, Anakin ends up getting hit with a case of LaserGuidedAmnesia via car accident, and ends up going through college and obtaining a degree, all without realizing his identity. Years after the accident, he takes on an intern named Darcy Lewis, and they head to New Mexico for [[TemptingFate what is sure to be a boring few months collecting data]].

8	Then Thor falls from the sky...
9
10	The main series, starring Anakin and co. and following the ''Thor'' movies, features the following stories:
11	* ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/8689639 like lifting stars]]'': a prequel set before the first movie, from [[MuggleBestFriend Darcy]] [[PluckyComicRelief Lewis's]] POV, detailing how she and Dr. Foster, really Anakin Skywalker, meet and become friends.
12	* ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/8760994 (trying to be) less volatile, less violent]]'': the first movie, featuring a revolving POV between Darcy, [[LaserGuidedAmnesia Anakin]], and [[PhysicalGod Thor]].
13	* ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/8815183 a leak in last night's dream]]'': the first part of ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'', introducing [[ActionGirl Ahsoka]] [[KidHeroAllGrownUp Tano]] and [[TheSnarkKnight Obi-Wan]] [[GentlemanSnarker Kenobi]] as POV characters, and putting more focus on [[IAmWho Anakin]].
14	* ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/8867287 bring only what you must carry]]'': the second part of ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'', dealing with the fallout of the Dark Elves' attack on Asgard. [[spoiler:It also deals with Anakin's memory returning.]]
15	* ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/9049060 sometimes the smallest things weigh us down]]'': the immediate aftermath of ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld''.
16	* ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/9287393 throw yourself down unexpected roads]]'': a one-shot that details the cast's lives settling into a new routine, taking place entirely from Darcy's POV.
17	* ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/12159309 there's barely even room for me]]'': a rewrite of the party scene from ''[[Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron Age of Ultron]]''.
18
19	The side works, outside of the ''Thor'' movies, are the following:
20	* ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/9180163 your song's no good 'round here]]'': focuses on [[BadassCrew Rogue]] [[Film/RogueOne One]], agents of SHIELD, during ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier''.
21	* ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/9319316 and you count clouds]]'': a shorter fic that reunites Anakin Skywalker and [[TheLostLenore Padmé]] [[CrusadingLawyer Amidala]].
22	* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/24001975 ask the line to hold, keep it all aloft]]'': focuses on Obi-Wan Kenobi post-''The Dark World''.
23
24	!This work contains examples of:
25	* AcePilot: Anakin, right? [[spoiler:Wrong, on the way out of Asgard, he manages to cause a great deal of property damage. This occurs just after his BadassBoast of being an AcePilot.]]
26	* ActionGirl: Ahsoka Tano and Lady Sif, natch. How good is Sif? [[spoiler:She beats Anakin Skywalker in a sparring match]].
27	* AffectionateNickname: Skyguy and Snips make a return, while Darcy almost exclusively calls Anakin "Doc".
28	* AllThereInTheManual: The author's replies to the comments often reveal bits and pieces about the fic's backstory that didn't make it into the fic proper. For example: Mace Windu and Nick Fury being [[CompositeCharacter one and the same]] was revealed in the comments first.
29	* AmazonChaser: Darcy, though this is mostly downplayed. [[spoiler:She calls Ventress a badass biker lady, and then there's her relationship with Ahsoka.]]
30	* AmnesiacDissonance: [[spoiler:Not surprisingly, Anakin goes through a bad case of this once he remembers, going through a HeroicBSOD three times. It's implied he's still not completely out of the dissonance, from his comments in]] [[spoiler:''throw yourself down unexpected roads'']].
31	* AmnesiacResonance: Anakin's hatred for sand stays consistent even into another life. In a more serious example, Anakin gives a list of PTSD triggers in ''like lifting stars'' that seem disparate without the context of his history: Fourth of July, fire, a Halloween costume (later confirmed to be a Darth Vader costume) and a red fluorescent light.
32	** ''(trying to be) less volatile, less violent'' showcases his tactical mind. Sure, the plan didn't ''work'', but it's impressive enough that Thor takes notice and brings it up in a later fic.
33	** Becomes a plot point in ''a leak in last night's dream'', and a sign that being a LivingMacGuffin is taking a toll on Anakin's mental defenses.
34	* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: After four straight stories focusing on Anakin, Thor and co., the series cuts to the Film/RogueOne crew, revealed to be working as a strike team in SHIELD, during ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier''.
35	* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Anakin after the stress of fighting the Aether takes a toll on his mental walls, bringing back his memory at the worst time possible.]]
36	* BackFromTheDead: Sort of. Anakin ended up in the MCU just after his death in ''Jedi''. [[spoiler:As it turns out, this happens to everyone in ''Franchise/StarWars'' who dies, as Film/RogueOne shows up. Seems the LaserGuidedAmnesia is just Anakin, though.]]
37	* BadassBoast: [[spoiler:"Which one of us managed to [[Film/ThePhantomMenace navigate his way through a warzone in a ship he had no experience with at nine?]] Because this is almost exactly like that." Subverted when Anakin causes a significant amount of damage.]]
38	* BigBrotherInstinct: Anakin towards Darcy. Later, he takes this role back up for Ahsoka as well. Leads to a funny line when Ahsoka and Darcy are on the verge of a RelationshipUpgrade:
39	--> Oh, god, if this turns out like Lux, [Anakin]’s not sure who he’s going to eviscerate. Maybe himself for introducing them.
40	* BittersweetEnding: Both ''Thor'' movies end this way.
41	** The 'verse's version of the first movie ends with Anakin and Thor separating for two years, but now Anakin has been reassured of his research's importance, Selvig is a SkepticNoLonger, and SHIELD has returned all their research and equipment. To top it off, there's a FlashForward that reveals Anakin and Thor's status as AmicableExes, implying that their relationship will not last beyond the second movie.
42	** The second movie ends with [[spoiler:Anakin and Thor broken up, Anakin's memory returned, Greenwich University in ruins, and Darcy and Selvig worried over Anakin after his final words to them, as well as Frigga in a coma and Loki on the throne of Asgard under the guise of Odin. However, Ahsoka and Darcy have undergone a RelationshipUpgrade, Thor decides to stay on Earth, Selvig has seemingly mostly recovered, and Anakin, much like canon's Jane Foster, finds himself one of the most sought-after astronomers on Earth.]]
43	* CallBack
44	** "Good strange or bad strange?" comes up first in ''(trying to be) less volatile, less violent'', then again in ''a leak in last night's dream''. Both serve to highlight Anakin and Thor's relationship at that point in time.
45	** ''there's barely even room for me'' has Clint Barton and Anakin finally meeting years after New Mexico, and plays into Kate Bishop's earlier-written but chronologically later cameo.
46	* TheCameo: Jyn and Cassian show up in the fic's version of ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'' on an undercover mission. This later leads into their [[AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent spotlight fic]].
47	** Kate Bishop shows up in ''(trying to be) less volatile, less violent'', in an interlude chronologically set years later.
48	* CantBelieveISaidThat: Anakin gives a variation on [[Film/AttackOfTheClones the infamous sand speech]] to Thor. He mentally lambasts himself for using it, but continues on anyway.
49	* CastFullOfGay: Anakin, Thor, Ahsoka, Darcy and Jyn are, at the very least, bisexual. Chirrut and Baze are implied to also be in a committed relationship.
50	* CelebrityParadox: ''Franchise/StarWars'' still exists in-universe, despite the presence of the characters.
51	* ChekhovsGag: The "Wannabe" ringtone. [[spoiler:It serves to tip Anakin off about being able to call people from Earth when the date who stood him up calls.]]
52	* ChekhovsGunman: ''like lifting stars'' mentions [[ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} Kirsten McDuffie]] and [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Roz Solomon]]. ''[[ADayInTheLimelight your song's no good 'round here]]'' reveals that Roz is a SHIELD agent while ''and you count clouds'' reveals [[spoiler:that Kirsten has started working for Padmé Amidala.]]
53	* CoincidentalBroadcast: Much like in canon, Ahsoka's landing on the news channel that's broadcasting Selvig's streaking through Stonehenge answers the question of where he's been for most of the fic. However, just before that, she lands on the lightsaber battle between Vader and Luke in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''.
54	* CompositeCharacter: Obviously, Anakin Skywalker takes on the role of Dr. Foster. [[spoiler:Also obviously, [[ActorAllusion Mace Windu and Nick Fury are one and the same]]. Less obviously, so are Depa Billaba and Maria Hill.]]
55	* CrusadingLawyer: [[spoiler:Padmé is one, showing up in ''and you count clouds'' as a legal consultant on patent laws for the science fair's participants.]]
56	* DarkestHour: ''bring only what you must carry'' features Anakin's. [[spoiler:He's just snapped out of slaughtering a boatload of Dark Elves in a rage, the man who got them to the Dark Elves' home is ([[FakingTheDead supposedly]]) dead, there's no way off of the rock they're on, and Thor has just seen the aforementioned slaughter.]] He snaps out of the HeroicBSOD it sends him after a pep talk and a well-timed call, though.
57	* ADayInTheLimelight: The [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier Winter Soldier]] events are told from the perspectives of the Film/RogueOne team, and there is very little mention made of the previous fics.
58	* DeadpanSnarker: This is the [[WorldOfSnark MCU]]. Everyone gets a chance to throw shade at some point, though Darcy Lewis is the example that shines through the most:
59	--->“It’s a beautiful theory, John,” says Selvig, a little less hungover after John shows him the drawing Thor made in his notebook, “but you and I know that ''I had a gut feeling this was true'' is not going to be good enough for the scientific community. You’re going to need hard evidence.”
60	--->“It sounds completely nuts to me,” says Darcy, cheerfully. “But hey, if your gut and the dude you had wild sex with last night say it’s right, it’s totally right!”
61	--->[[LampshadeHanging “Sarcasm does not become you, Lewis,” says John, dryly.]]
62	** Obi-Wan shows up in fewer scenes compared to the rest of the cast, but he makes his lines count.
63	-->[[spoiler:'''Anakin''': I'm still stuck on Ventress, what the ''fuck''. How is she your regular?]]
64	-->[[spoiler:'''Obi-Wan''': She drops by regularly and orders much the same thing every time. It doesn't take much to be a regular at a café.]]
65	* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Anakin punches Thor on their first meeting in the two years since New Mexico. [[spoiler:He later punches Loki on their very first meeting, putting an end to Loki's fantasies about unleashing Vader on the galaxy.]]
66	* DrowningMySorrows: [[spoiler:Anakin gets well and truly drunk in ''there's barely even room for me''. It's implied that the Avengers trying to lift Mjolnir got him started.]]
67	* EvilMeScaresMe: [[spoiler:Anakin, after his rampage on Svartalfheim, is utterly horrified at himself and the carnage he caused to the point of begging Thor to leave him.]]
68	* FlashBack: The dinner scene between Anakin and Selvig.
69	* FlashForward: Used in the earlier stories to establish the return of Anakin's memory fairly early.
70	* {{Foil}}: Anakin and Thor end up serving as one to each other. Anakin is a human ScienceHero with a DarkAndTroubledPast, who JumpedOffTheSlipperySlope [[AlwaysSaveTheGirl to save his wife]], while Thor is a GentleGiant PhysicalGod who keeps hold of his morals even in the midst of his mother's near-death, his lover's impending death via possession by MacGuffin, and TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.
71	* ForScience: Anakin and Selvig are benevolent scientists. [[Franchise/StarWarsLegends Jenna Zan Arbor]], on the other hand, makes an appearance in the series' version of ''Winter Soldier'', and displays this attitude towards her work.
72	* ForgotAboutHisPowers: {{Justified\|Trope}} in Anakin's case, considering the LaserGuidedAmnesia. [[spoiler:Later stories get rid of this trope, as it's mentioned Anakin occasionally [[MundaneUtility uses the Force to make his food float, leaving his hands free]].]]
73	* ForgotTheCall: A dramatic variation, in that Anakin spends more than a decade building an entirely different life. [[spoiler:The return of his memory sends him into [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone a spiral]] [[HeroicBSOD of guilt]].]]
74	* FromACertainPointOfView: While the TropeNamer himself makes an appearance, it's Ahsoka who uses this trope in a conversation with Thor.
75	--> Ahsoka shrugs, looks back at Anakin. “I have,” she says, quiet, “and I haven’t. Both are true, from certain points of view.” She hasn’t known [[IdentityAmnesia John]] [[ForgotTheCall Foster]] very long, but she knows [[WeUsedToBeFriends Anakin Skywalker]] well. Knew him well. Or she thought she did. “How true is debatable,” she admits, after a moment’s reflection.
76	* GenderFlip: Of a sort. Anakin Skywalker adopts the identity of Dr. ''John'' Foster.
77	* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Odin shows signs of this after the Dark Elves' attack on Asgard. The realization of the beginning of his father's [[SlidingDownTheSlipperySlope slide down a slippery slope]] serves as an impetus for Thor to commit treason and break Anakin and Loki out of Asgard.
78	* HeroicBSOD: Anakin goes through this once during New Mexico after SHIELD takes all his research and equipment, though Thor talks him out of it. [[spoiler:He goes through a much bigger one after his memory returns. In fact, he goes through a much bigger one ''three times''.]]
79	* HeroicSelfDeprecation: [[spoiler:Anakin's [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone horror]] at his DarkAndTroubledPast screws his self-esteem up something fierce. This comes to the forefront in his internal narration during ''bring only what you must carry'', especially in the escape from Asgard.]]
80	* IAmWho: [[spoiler:Anakin's initial disbelieving reaction to Frigga telling him his last name.]]
81	* IJustWantToBeNormal: [[spoiler:Low-key implied in ''throw yourself down unexpected roads''.]]
82	-->[[spoiler:'''Ventress:''' Here I thought you'd be living [[ForgotTheCall in blissful ignorance]] all your life.]]
83	-->[[spoiler:'''Anakin:''' I thought I'd be doing that too. That would've been nice.]]
84	* IdentityAmnesia: Anakin has this, having lived a completely different life from the one he led back in his galaxy. By the time the series starts, he's accepted the likelihood of never regaining his memory, and surprisingly seems fairly content chasing after storms. [[spoiler:When he does remember, the knowledge of [[FallenHero who he]] [[TheDragon used to be]] breaks him.]]
85	* InternalReveal: Anakin's true identity is hidden from himself, Darcy, and Dr. Selvig, up until the events of ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'' happen.
86	* InSpiteOfANail: ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'' goes much the same way even with the addition of the Film/RogueOne team. However, a notable change happens in that [[spoiler:instead of Sam, Cassian fights Rumlow near the end.]]
87	** It also goes on to explain how, at least in this 'verse, Natasha obtained the files from Kiev that she gives to Steve near the end of the movie.
88	* IronicEcho: Deliberately {{Invoked\|Trope}} by Loki to annoy Anakin on the way to meet Malekith.
89	-->'''Loki (in response to Thor's claim of having a plan):''' You planned this far? Impressive. Most impressive.
90	-->'''Anakin:''' Can I throw him off the boat? No one would miss him. I wouldn't miss him.
91	* JerkassHasAPoint: Neither Odin nor Loki trust Anakin, the former calling him a common criminal and the latter needling him, but both are right to ask Thor why he brought [[FallenHero Anakin]] [[JumpedOffTheSlipperySlope Sky]][[LivingMacGuffin walker]] to Asgard.
92	* TheLancer: Darcy serves as this to Anakin, her FunPersonified DeadpanSnarker personality, [[TheWatson her lack of experience in hard sciences]], and her lack of a murky past contrasting with Anakin's ShellShockedVeteran tendencies, [[ForScience scientific knowledge]], and DarkAndTroubledPast (and, initially, [[IdentityAmnesia lack of a past]]).
93	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Anakin in the first few stories cannot remember anything from before he woke up in a hospital. He's surprisingly fine with this, having made his own way in life afterwards, and aside from commenting that [[{{Understatement}} it sucks]], seems to have accepted never getting it back.
94	* LossOfIdentity: The entire premise, at least for the first few fics. Anakin's memory loss leads him to build an entirely different life from the one he had before, and, for some reason, believe himself to be from Illinois.
95	* LoveObstructingParents: As in canon, Odin serves as this. {{Justified\|Trope}}, though, considering that the object of Thor's affections is ''Darth Vader''.
96	* MeaningfulRename: [[spoiler:The narration changes names from John to Anakin after ''[[WhamEpisode a leak in last night's dream]]''.]]
97	* MomentKiller: Anakin pulls this on Darcy and Ahsoka, barging into their room just as things start to get hot and heavy.
98	* MuggleBestFriend: Darcy, the completely ordinary intern, [[NotThatKindOfDoctor political scientist]] and PluckyComicRelief, is surrounded by Jedi, scientists, and at least one PhysicalGod at all times.
99	* MustHaveCaffeine: ''like lifting stars'' establishes Anakin's fondness for coffee, having him blow up at an airport worker for mishandling his coffeemaker. Darcy's reaction once she finds out what the "sensitive equipment" is that he's so intent on keeping safe is priceless.
100	-->'''Darcy''': You nearly punched a guy in the face over a ''coffeemaker''?
101	* MyFistForgivesYou: [[spoiler:Anakin and Obi-wan exchange one round of punches before they're back to snarking at each other during the final act of ''bring only what you must carry''. {{Subverted\|Trope}} in the next story, as they blow up at each other first before either of them can really start to forgive each other.]]
102	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Anakin's memory returning is the catalyst for a HeroicBSOD. He also suffers this after slaughtering a squadron full of Dark Elves, and takes a while to snap out of it long enough to return to Earth, at first begging Thor to leave him behind.]]
103	* MythologyGag: Dr. Blake, Anakin's ex, is a ShoutOut to Thor's identity as Donald Blake in the comics.
104	** The series is littered with them, especially Franchise/StarWars references. References to Anakin's [[NeverLiveItDown infamous hatred of sand]] are made, especially while he is—ironically—in New Mexico.
105	** [[spoiler:Loki invokes this purely to annoy Anakin.]]
106	** Smythe is a little-known ComicBook/SpiderMan rogue whose shtick is using androids called Spider-Slayers against Spider-Man. His incarnation here is an inventor who comes up with robotic surveillance spiders.
107	* NoHeroToHisValet: {{Downplayed\|Trope}}, but the fact that Dr. John Foster is a well-known astronomer and Darth Vader is ''the'' most iconic villain in cinema does not quite occur to Darcy, whose first meeting with Anakin began when she barged in on him taking a nap in an empty classroom.
108	* NoodleIncident: Anakin is involved in plenty of these, most of them embarrassing. Apparently, while amnesiac, he flirted with [[HoYay Obi-Wan Kenobi]] and [[ShipsThatPassInTheNight Cassian]] [[NoYay Andor]], and also [[NakedPeopleAreFunny streaked through the campus to impress an exchange student]]. Darcy also brings up an incident with Dr. Blake that starts with Anakin spraining his wrist to talk to him and ends with Darcy walking in on both of them.
109	* OddFriendship: Anakin and Darcy. He's an [[ForScience accomplished astrophysicist]] [[spoiler:and later a self-loathing [[TheAtoner atoner ex-Sith]] with PTSD]], she's a GeniusDitz DeadpanSnarker and his intern. Somehow, they've become fast friends.
110	* OddballInTheSeries: ''your song's no good 'round here'' is a SHIELD-centric oneshot focusing on the cast of Film/RogueOne during Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier.
111	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Darcy expresses concern for Anakin during the build-up to [[Film/ThorTheDarkWorld the final battle with Malekith]] because of his sudden lack of enthusiasm for moving from one world to another. [[spoiler:{{Justified\|Trope}} because his memory just returned a day or so ago.]]
112	* PrecisionFStrike: While most of the main cast often drop a curse into their dialogue and internal narration, Thor's dialogue avoids dropping F-bombs. [[spoiler:His "[[OhCrap oh, fuck]]" in ''bring only what you must carry'' has this effect, and comes an instant before Anakin's backslide into the Dark Side.]]
113	* ARareSentence: [[spoiler:Obi-Wan's reaction to Anakin's advice of "put the lightsaber away, [[ScienceHero I'm going to science this shit.]]"]]
114	** [[spoiler:"Yeah, Obi-wan Kenobi has a café." Said by Darcy, and she follows it up by noting that she never thought she'd say it. Anakin agrees.]]
115	* RedEyesTakeWarning: A good way to check if Anakin's murderously angry or just annoyed is to check his eyes. If they're blue, you're clear. If they're not, run like hell.
116	** This also happens to him while he's [[LivingMacGuffin possessed by the Aether]], though in this case it's less an indication of his anger and more the Aether being a semi-sentient asshole.
117	* RunningGag: Music/TheSpiceGirls' "Wannabe" serves as Anakin's ringtone, much to his annoyance.
118	* ScienceHero: Anakin steps up to the plate during the last act of ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld''.
119	-->“Rather like old times, don’t you think?” says Obi-wan. “You losing your lightsaber, the two of us having to take on entire squadrons of droids together?”
120	-->“Yeah, these are more competent,” says Anakin. “Look, put that lightsaber away, I’m gonna science this shit.”
121	-->Obi-wan stares at him. Anakin takes a moment to revel in the pure shock rolling off his former master in waves. “That,” he manages, “is not a sentence I ever thought I’d hear from your mouth.”
122	* SitcomArchNemesis: [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Reed]] [[TheGhost Richards]] and Sebastian Smythe to Anakin. [[spoiler:Takes a darker turn when Anakin [[PsychicStrangle Force-chokes]] Smythe after Smythe pushes his BerserkButton, though Darcy manages to talk Anakin down, much to her displeasure.]]
123	* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Frigga. She's in a healing sleep instead, thanks to Anakin using the Force to pull Algrim's sword just a few inches away from her spine.]]
124	* TearsOfRemorse: [[spoiler:''bring only what you must carry'' has Anakin shedding these after killing a squadron of Dark Elves. Unlike the [[ManlyTears single tear]] in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', though, the narrative notes that they're "[[BrokenTears streaming down his face]]", serving as a prelude to his [[HeroicBSOD break]][[MyGodWhatHaveIDone down]] in the next scene.]]
125	* TeethClenchedTeamwork: [[spoiler:Anakin and Loki during the escape from Asgard.]]
126	* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:Anakin takes back the levels he lost in spectacular fashion during ''bring only what you must carry'', starting with [[AcePilot flying a stolen ship]] and ending with charging right into the Aether storm with Thor.]]
127	* TookALevelInKindness: Anakin after his accident has had years to build a life for himself outside of his destiny as TheChosenOne, and as a result becomes kinder and more self-assured. How much more? His first instinct when the Destroyer comes down to Earth on Thor's first visit is to help evacuate the people in the town.
128	** [[spoiler:[[ContinuityNod Pointed out by Thor]] as part of his pep talk after Anakin's [[HeroicBSOD emotional breakdown]] post-slaughter of Dark Elves.]]
129	* TraumaButton: Anakin has a list of them. Given his background as [[TheDragon Darth]] [[FallenHero Vader]], it's understandable.
130	* WhamEpisode: The fic's version of ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld''. [[spoiler:Ahsoka shows up, Anakin remembers, Obi-Wan is revealed to be running a cafe in Greenwich, and Anakin tells Darcy and Selvig who he is.]]
131	* WhamLine: The reveal of Fury's identity in the fic proper. [[spoiler:“Master Windu and I don’t exactly see eye to eye. You’re the one who’s got him on speed dial, not me.” As said by Ahsoka Tano to Obi-Wan Kenobi.]]
132	* WillTheyOrWontThey: One of the tags on the Film/RogueOne team's [[ADayInTheLimelight spotlight fic]] reads: "cassian and jyn are the most 'will they or won't they' couple of all time". True to form, near the end of the fic, there's a moment of ShipTease once the action has passed.
133	* WorldOfSnark: Darcy is the most common example, but everyone has a chance to snark at something through the series. Bodhi's internal narration in ''your song's no good 'round here'' even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this:
