History Fanfic / AloneTogether

[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2949422/1/bAlone_b_bTogether_b Alone, Together]] is one of the grand masterpieces of ''KimPossible'' fanfiction. It is a highly-detailed and realistic (for ''Kim Possible'') account of what it takes to develop an intimate relationship between the [[ActionGirl main character]] and one of her [[DarkActionGirl main]] [[TheDragon opponents]].

** Impressively, never seems [[CharacterDerailment out of character]].

* [[SureWhyNot Sure, Why Not?]]: Shego being [[spoiler: molested by her father as a little girl]] was originally not part of her backstory, but when one reader interpreted her freakout over a magazine that featured a young girl dressed provocatively on the cover as signs of [[spoiler: a history of sexual abuse]], the author decided to run with it.
* [[{{ptitlekmnq5vt2}} There's No Place Like Home]]: Most of the first half of the story is spent with Kim and Shego trying to get back to their own dimension. They eventually succeed.

* HearingVoices: During the first year alone, Kim occasionally hears Shego's voice. When Shego actually returns, Kim initially thinks that she's now [[Hallucinations seeing things]] as well as hearing them.

* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Both Kim and Shego come close to this during their first year in the Other World. Things get better after Shego has had enough of being totally alone (see [=~Screw This, I'm Outta Here~=] below) and returns to Kim.

* [=~Screw This, I'm Outta Here~=]: After the first few days in the Other World, Shego gives up waiting for rescue, believing [[spoiler:incorrectly]] that Drakken has written her off as an acceptable price for permanently getting rid of Kim, and goes off on her own for a year.

* [=~Sure, Why Not?~=]: Shego being [[spoiler: molested by her father as a little girl]] was originally not part of her backstory, but when one reader interpreted her freakout over a magazine that featured a young girl dressed provocatively on the cover as signs of [[spoiler: a history of sexual abuse]], the author decided to run with it.
* [=~There's No Place Like Home~=]: Most of the first half of the story is spent with Kim and Shego trying to get back to their own dimension. They eventually succeed.

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: The locusts...oh my god the locusts...

* NightmareFuel: Imagine leaving your workplace to head home and discovering that no one is around. Anywhere. ''At all.'' You're all alone in a world of emptiness. And live like that for ''20+ years.'' Go mad from the isolation indeed.

* AdaptationDecay[=/=]PragmaticAdaptation: A independent movie was made of this story, though it took a BroadStrokes approach of being about two women alone in an empty world, obviously stripping out all the ''Kim Possible'' aspects. Still, that's a movie based on a work of cartoon fanfiction.

* CharacterDerailment: Averted, ''hard''. See RonTheDeathEater below.
** Though you could argue that this version of Will Du is notably different from canon.

* RonTheDeathEater: Averts this ''hard''. One of the great things about this story is that ''none'' of the characters end up [[CharacterDerailment out of character]] in the least nor is anyone villified or glorified.
** In particular, Ron is treated as a friend who helps Kim deal with her issues (see LikeBrotherAndSister, above), not as an obstacle to the [[PortmanteauCoupleName Kigo]] relationship.

--> What was this weird power Ron had to make her feel better -- about ''any''thing? Suddenly, she saw Ron in a new light -- and understood that "Best Friends for Life" ''wasn't'' a step down from "Lovers". It was only different.

[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2949422/1/bAlone_b_bTogether_b Alone, Together]] is one of the grand masterpieces of KimPossible fanfiction. It is a highly-detailed and realistic (for Kim Possible) account of what it takes to develop an intimate relationship between the [[ActionHero main character]] and one of her [[DarkActionGirl main]] [[TheDragon opponents]].

** Subverted in that everybody involved realizes that Shego is voluntarily remaining imprisoned and [[CardboardPrison can escape anytime she decides to make a serious attempt]].

* FanSequel: Another fanfic writer wrote [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3410700/1/Fan_Epilogue_to_Alone_Together a short story]] in which Kim and Shego [[spoiler:briefly visit the real-world farmhouse corresponding to the one where they lived in the Other World]].

* NoMatterHowMuchIBeg: After MyGodWhatHaveIDone incident mentioned above, Shego goes to Global Justice headquarters and turns herself in, with the intent of dropping out of Kim's life while she finishes growing up.

* HowWeGotHere: The first half of the story is spent getting us to the events of the prologue

* EnemyMine: The early stages of Kim and Shego's relationship in the Other World. [[spoiler:Back in their home universe, Drakken figures out how to find them, but lacks some needed resources, so he makes a deal with Global Justice for technical assistance.]]

* [[SituationalSexuality SitchSexuality]]: As the two start becoming attracted to each other, they tell themselves that it's because there is no one else available. Shego clings to this notion longer; Kim starts to suspect that she was really gay all along. The difference may be that Kim is a virgin while Shego has heterosexual experience with [[spoiler: Señor Senior Junior]].

* EnemyMine: The early stages of Kim and Shego's relationship in the Other World. [[spoiler:Back in their home universe, Drakken figures out how to find them, but needs help to actually do it, so he makes a deal with Global Justice for technical assistance.]]

* CharacterDevelopment: Loads of it. You can actually see the maturation and changes in the characters[[spoiler: as Kim and Shego spend over 20 years in the alternate dimension.]]
* ClosestThingWeGot: With nobody else available, Shego has to [[spoiler:remove Kim's inflamed appendix]].

* FreudianExcuse: After thinking about her relationship with her father in light of Kim's suggestion that [[spoiler:he distanced himself from Shego because he was ashamed of the fondling incident and didn't want to be reminded of it]], Shego concludes that it was the root cause of her bad relationship with her brothers and her [[FaceHeelTurn decision to quit Team Go and become a villain]].
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Both Kim and Shego come close to this during their first year in the Other World.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Shego gets so hot and bothered at one point that she nearly [[spoiler: commits statutory rape before remembering that Kim is only seventeen in this dimension.]]

* NoMatterHowMuchIBeg: After [[spoiler:putting the moves on Kim and belatedly remembering that she's a teenager rather than the adult she was in the Other World]], Shego goes to Global Justice headquarters and turns herself in, thereby dropping out of Kim's life while she finishes growing up.

* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:Kim and Shego really don't look like they've lived out two extra decades of their life in another dimension, huh?]]
* {{Paparazzi}}: Kim and Shego are caught in a passionate kiss by a horde of camera-wielding newspeople in the last chapter, [[ComingOutStory revealing Kim's secret]] and triggering her fear of how people will react. The situation seems only one more obnoxious shouted question away from Kim melting down in public, or the assembled media melting down under a barrage of green plasma. [[spoiler: Ron, however, manages to defuse the crisis nicely with a bit of EvenEvilHasStandards/ShamingTheMob.]]
* ResetButton: Kim and Shego return home exactly as they left, with no sign of aging or injuries from their time in the Other World. They don't even have any conscious memories of the experience [[spoiler: at first]].

** In particular, Ron is treated as a friend who helps Kim deal with her issues (see LikeBrotherAndSister, above), not as an obstacle to be cleared from the decks to make way for the Kigo relationship.

* SitchSexuality: As the two start becoming attracted to each other, they tell themselves that it's because another woman is the only person available. Shego clings to this notion longer; Kim starts to suspect that she was really gay all along. The difference may be that Kim is a virgin while Shego has heterosexual experience with [[spoiler: Señor Senior Junior]].
* SlaveToPR: Kim is initially unwilling to acknowledge her attraction to Shego because she's afraid to face public reaction (if and when they get home) to her being a lesbian. Later, [[spoiler:she builds a beacon that can get them home, but can't bring herself to use it until it becomes necessary to save Shego's life after an accident]]. After they get home, she is initially unable to deal with the increasingly clear memories that she and Shego were lovers in the Other World, and when all else fails tries to stay in the closet using Ron as TheBeard.

* [=~There's No Place Like Home~=]: Most of the first half of the story is spent with Kim and Shego trying to get back to their own dimension. [[spoiler: They succeed.]]

* ThrowTheDogABone: One of the few Kigo stories out there that actually leaves Drakken in a better place than he had been in at the beginning. [[spoiler: He manages to prove his genius and Kim even becomes his intern at the end.]]
* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: This is the one area (other than the Kigo relationship) where this fic noticeably diverges from {{canon}}. It treats Team Possible as informal Global Justice auxiliaries rather than as freelancers; as a result, they get sidelined when Dr. Director notices that Kim is behaving oddly. This could be considered an example of PragmaticAdaptation, since the absence of missions allows for greater focus on Kim's issues in dealing with her personal situation.
* WalkingTheEarth: Shego does this for a while [[spoiler: once she realizes that there is absolutely no one else around.]]

* WeddingDay: [[spoiler: A beautiful ceremony is held for Shego and Kim by Shego and Kim, mostly because they're the only ones in that dimension.]]

* FreudeanExcuse: After thinking about her relationship with her father in light of Kim's suggestion that [[spoiler:he distanced himself from Shego out of shame and desire to forget about the fondling incident]], Shego concludes that it was the root cause of her bad relationship with her brothers and her [[FaceHeelTurn decision to quit Team Go and become a villain]].

* NarniaTime: The passage of time in the alternate universe turns out to be completely independent of the amount of time elapsed back home. [[spoiler: Kim and Shego spend twenty-one years in the Other World, and return home after a thirteen-day absence.]]

* StatusQuoIsGod: It ''seems'' like that is how the story is going halfway through...[[spoiler: and then you remember that the story is only halfway done, and the status quo starts to be increasingly upended.]]

* [=~There's No Place Like Home~=]: Most of the story is spent with Kim and Shego trying to get back to their own dimension. [[spoiler: They succeed.]]
