The true story of Squad E's participation in the Second Europan War went untold... until now. The journal of Claude Wallace has been found, and it has never been clearer that the details of their operations were sealed not for public safety, but to preserve the dignity of both the Federation and the Empire.
— Summary of the story
Ranger Things Have Happened
is a Valkyria Chronicles 4 fanfiction by Jadetarem. This serves as an Affectionate Parody of the whole game, complete with offbeat humor, playful jabs between squadmates and all kind of sexual tension.
No updates have been made since 2019, nor has there been any word of continuation from the author, making this a Dead Fic.
This work provides examples of:
- Deadpan Snarker: See World of Snark below.
- Faceless Mooks: Squad F with the exception of Ronald and Christel.
- Hurricane of Puns: What follows after Claude announces that the town Squad E will liberate is actually named Reine.
- I Need a Freaking Drink: Claude says he'll need one after dealing with Minerva and orders Raz not to deplete the stash before he gets back when the latter believed it had to do with regulations.
- Mad Bomber: Riley has some shades of this.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: Riley deconstructs how Kai (not Leena) is able to pass herself as a man, despite not having the figure as one. She remarks she's pretending on paper and that "there's a level of stupid that even HQ can’t quite reach", adding that someone could tell her the story if she's out on the field and have a lot of downtime.
- Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: Squad E, full stop.
- World of Snark: Oh, you better believe it.
