Avengers: Remnants of Earth (Fanfic)
Story Cover
Avengers: Remnants of Earth by KarmaSpidr begins with The Avengers trying to stop an Incursion from destroying both their Earth and another parallel Earth. They've nearly managed to use a ritual to save both realms, but someone on the other Earth destroys theirs first, hurtling Avengers Tower to Vytal on Remnant in the middle of the woods. Now the Avengers must make a new life for themselves on this new world, and search for others who survived their world's destruction.

It can also be found here on Wattpad.


Avengers: Remnants of Earth contain examples of:

  • Adaptational Villainy: The Asgard in Remnant's universe is a conquering empire that has dominated and assimilated the Kree and reduced many Skrulls to refugees.
  • Always Someone Better: Ironwood mentally notes how the Avengers keep showing off technology that outshines Atlas, which once boasted the status of being the most technologically advanced Kingdom on Remnant.
  • Alternate Timeline: The native Asgard of the RWBY universe is a world that has not stopped its expansion and conquest of the 9 Worlds compared to the Marvel universe.
  • Babies Ever After: After they arrive on Remnant, Pepper tells Tony that she's pregnant.
  • Bear Hug: Penny. Often triggered by the word "friends".
  • Beyond the Impossible: Grimm are incapable of having Aura, with even Cinder unable to protect her Grimm arm with her own in canon. Here, Salem uses the Soul Stone and some Aura siphoned from Tyrian to create a new breed of Grimm that do have Aura.
  • Big Damn Heroes: The Avengers make their public debut in Mantle, fighting off a breach in the city's defensive wall from which Grimm were pouring through, before Atlesian forces could even arrive.
  • Broken Masquerade: In the chapter 28, a week after the sudden appearance of another Earth settlement in Forever Fall, the Avengers give an interview revealing to the population of Remnant their true origins and their struggles to protect their world from various threats.
  • Chick Magnet: After Jaune tries and fails to hit on Weiss, Kamala and Kate mention how Peter had a lot of female attention back home.
  • Cool and Unusual Punishment: What does Sam do when he has CRDL in detention? Make them listen to him reading anti-racism poetry. They're clearly not enjoying it.
  • Cross-Dimensional Conflict: Subverted. The Avengers are currently adjusting to living out the rest of their lives on Remnant, but that doesn't mean they won't get revenge on the Brother Gods for destroying their world when the time comes.
  • Crossover Power Acquisition:
    • Ozpin plans to learn Strange's brand of magic.
    • Subverted with the Avengers and Aura. The cover story prior to the official reveal of their history to Remnant's public is that they are unable to generate a defensive Aura at all, passing off the powers of individuals like Peter and Kamala as Semblances, and when Ozpin tried awakening Steve's Aura it caused an explosion.
    • Salem has the Remnant version of the Soul Stone.
  • Detrimental Determination: The Brother Gods destroyed Earth thinking that was the only way to save Remnant, but by then Dr. Strange had managed to complete a spell that would have saved both worlds without the need to destroy the other.
  • Downer Beginning: The story starts as an Incursion is about to take place, with the Avengers doing everything they can to save both worlds... only for it to be all for nought right as it seems to be working when someone on the other Earth destroys theirs before the spell is complete.
  • Dramatic Irony: After learning that they can't generate a defensive Aura, Nora accuses Peter, Kate, and Kamala of being robots... right next to the actual gynoid Penny.
  • Evil Learns of Outside Context: Thanks to Loki, Salem learns of the existence and capabilities of the Avengers, in addition to learning about the existence of artifacts (the Infinity Stones) that even the gods fear to manipulate without proper protection.
  • Evil vs. Evil: Salem and Loki don't take long to start fighting once they meet. Loki manages to come out on top and get Salem to agree to a Villain Team-Up.
  • Glad He's On Our Side: Ironwood is a bit scared by how powerful the Avengers are, and is very happy that they’re on the same side, and he wants to keep it that way.
  • Had to Be Sharp: Combined with Terminally Dependent Society. Ironwood muses that the fact that Earth didn’t have access to Dust meant that they had to work harder to develop energy sources, which eventually led to ones much more powerful and stable than Dust crystals like arc reactors, while on Remnant the reliance on Dust caused any alternative energy solutions to be shut down in the early stages because they were never given the time and funding after they initially failed to match the output of a Dust crystal. Not to mention their other technological achievements.
  • Heroic BSoD: The personality test the Beacon students take for their Survival Necessities class is extremely thorough and draining, to the point that Penny literally repeats error messages and has to be carried out of class by Peter (which luckily everyone is too drained to notice) while several of the other students seem to have a mini-identity crisis (Yang commenting that she's somehow not even sure if she's a natural blonde anymore for one). Peter, with all the bullshit he's had to deal with, is the only one seemingly unscathed.
  • Hope Spot: For a moment, it seemed like the Avengers would be able to successfully stop the Incursion bloodlessly... only for someone on the other Earth to destroy theirs mid-spell.
  • Immortal Breaker: Salem believes that with the Soul Stone she could permanently eliminate Ozpin/Ozma's capacity to reincarnate.
  • Kill the God: In Chapter 23, after all the other Avengers learn that the Brothers are responsible for destroying their world, Thor and Hulk plan to make them pay dearly.
    'Thor: I say we hunt them down like the dogs they are and show them what makes us the Avengers!!!.
  • Logical Weakness: Neo's Semblance doesn't obscure her body heat, so Hawkeye can use his bow's thermal scope to locate her even when she's hiding.
  • Merged Reality: Fragments of the various cities of Earth have been randomly merged with Remnant.
  • Outside-Context Problem: Combinated with New Life in Another World Bonus. The Avengers have abilities unlike Remnant has ever seen, including Thor, an actual Physical God, albeit one a bit lower on the power scale than the Brothers, and two powerful magic users. Even outside of their combat abilities, their technology is completely foreign to the Remnantian tech tree, with the solar panel and wind turbine technology Tony hands out allowing less dependency on Dust, much to the frustration of Jacques Schnee.
  • Patchwork Fic: Implied. The Avengers in this story describe having experienced a combination of events from various adaptations, including animated series, the MCU and others.
  • Puppy-Dog Eyes: Name-dropped by Tony in regards to Penny's expression when trying to get Pietro and Ironwood to let her go to Beacon instead of Atlas, and that it was probably a large part of why he succeeded.
  • “The Reason You Suck” Speech: Tony gives an epic one to Jacques Schnee at a gala in Atlas, calling him out for his unethical business practices and human rights violations, pointing out how he's probably responsible for stunting Remnant's technological growth by keeping people so dependent on his Dust, and saying that he's going to do his best to make a better world for humanity and the Faunus, for which he'll be remembered, while he does his best to make sure that Jacques is ultimately nothing more than a footnote. And when Jacques tries to claim that Tony's made a powerful enemy, Tony just counters, correctly, that compared to what Tony's dealt with before, Jacques is just a schoolyard bully.
  • Side Bet: Apparently there was one on if Peter would become the leader of his, Kamala, Kate, and Penny's team. He did.
  • Spanner in the Works: It's noted that the energy technology that Tony was willing to share with Remnant, with solar panels and turbines that provide alternative options to Dust, will likely drastically reduce Dust prices in the near future as a result of lessened demand, compromising Jacques Schnee's income. Pepper even refers to the action as Tony throwing "a Molotov cocktail into his money-making machine".
  • Strong Family Resemblance: Steve lampshades how much Blake resembles her parents when he reveals to Natasha and Clint that the daughter of the Belladonna family from Menagerie is in his class.
  • Technology Uplift: Combined with Giving Radio to the Romans. Tony has been gradually introducing technology that will allow alternative energy sources to be harnessed on Remnant.
  • There is Another: While initially it seems like the Avengers and Pepper are the only survivors of Earth, it's soon revealed that Loki managed to get dragged to Remnant in their wake as well, and then Black Panther appears in Menagerie, Bast having managed to piggyback the spell to save the Wakandan people, and Ozpin worries about others getting brought along as well only to get dropped into the middle of hordes of Grimm. And this eventually does start happening.
  • Un-Sorcerer: So far, the Avengers are completely unable to gain an Aura.
  • Villain Team-Up: After their initial conflict, Salem and Loki tentatively join forces.
  • Wham Episode:
    • In Chapter 16, not only does Ozpin seek to learn Eldritch Magic from Strange, but Salem shows Loki what is all but explicitly stated to be the Soul Stone of Remnant's universe, and Loki definitely recognizes it.
    • In Chapter 22, it is revealed that those responsible for destroying the Earth were the Brother gods.
    • Chapter 24 not only has Vision reactivated at last, but Salem manages to use the Soul Stone to siphons Tyrian’s Aura and create a new type of Grimm with it.
    • Chapter 29 reveals that Asgard in the universe Remnant is in is a conquering force that has dominated the Kree and reduced the Skrulls to refugees.
    • Chapter 30 has the "Death Tyrants" Salem created in Chapter 24 debut rescuing Roman and Neo from the Avengers, Loki later appearing before them, with the Avengers then tracking the villains down to Mountain Glenn.
  • You Can't Go Home Again: Combined with Trapped in Another World. Given that their world was apparently utterly destroyed, the Avengers are seemingly stuck on Remnant for good.
  • Your Magic's No Good Here:
    • Combinated with Our Souls Are Different. The inherent ability to unlock the aura of any living being of Remnant's inhabitants does not work on Earth's inhabitants.
    • The Mind Stone that previously powered Vision lost all its power after the destruction of his universe.
