History Fanfic / AlyaAndTheHaremReality

* CovertPervert: While Marinette is still the same sweet NiceGirl as in the old timeline, she's not above having perverted thoughts about her girlfriends. When she finds out that Chloe has a near identical half-sister, her first thought is a TwinThreesomeFantasy with her and Zoe. And when she learns of a designer contest focusing on swimsuits, Tikki has to snap her out of a fantasy where she dresses Alya and Chloe in her custom-design swinsuits.

* TakeThat: The opening note alludes to ''Fanfic/OneForAllAndEightForTheNinth'''s portrayal of Bakugo as an example of [[invoked]]KarmicOverkill, and dismisses griifinguy's attempt to [[AuthorsSavingThrow lighten said treatment due to backlash]] because of his original intent.

* TakeThat: The opening note alludes to the ''[[Fanfic/OneForAllAndEightForTheNinth 849 universe]]'' portrayal of Bakugo as an example of KarmicOverkill, and dismisses griifinguy's attempt to [[SalvagedStory course]] [[AuthorsSavingThrow correct]] said plotline due to his original intent.
** Unrelated to 849, Creator/{{Crossoverpairinglover}} goes on to express a general bewilderment at [[RonTheDeathEater/MyHeroAcademia All Might bashing]].

In another timeline, Alya Cesarie wakes up with a headache expecting an ordinary day. Go to school with her girlfriend Marinette and ''her'' girlfriend Chloe, then fight off Hawkmoth’s Akumas as Rena Rouge alongside Ladybug and Queen Bee. And yet she has a feeling that some things are wrong, though she can’t put her finger on it…

** Princess Fragrance in canon was created after Chloe tore up her letter to her crush Prince Ali. In story she was created after some school guys made fun of her because they could tell she'd been in the hospital, causing Juleka to run off crying.

** Vanisher in canon was created when Chloe outright ignored Sabrina and told her she was invisible after an argument. Here Vanisher was created because she felt like Chloe was replacing her with Marinette.

* AdaptedOut: While not every villain has been mentioned by name, Hawk Moth notes at the end of chapter one he has not created the villains Copycat, Kung Food, Antibug or any other Chloe villain, and Simon Says, though he does create the latter in the next chapter. He also misses out on the chance to create Befana and seemingly never created Despair Bear or Volpina.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: PlayedWith. Alya tries to waste Monarch's attempt to use the Miraculous Wish by wishing that people would love Marinette, who is already popular, thinking it wouldn't change the world too much. This creates a new reality where not only are Alya, Chloe, and Kagami all romantically attracted to Marinette (with Marinette in a triade with Alya and Chloe by the equivalent events of season 2), but they are several other changes either because of EquivalentExchange or because RealityWarpingIsNotAToy.
* BigLittleSister: As one of several side effects of Alya hijacking a reality-altering wish, Zoe, Chloe's younger half sister, is now taller than her. This is among several sources of grief Chloe has about Zoe in the story's universe, along with the fact she has more time with their mother and the fact Zoe is nicer and more likeable than Chloe is by Chloe's own admission.

** Chloe might be a ClingyJealousGirl towards Marinette and doesn't want Kagami to get closer and join Marinette's harem, but she definitely wants to get Kagami away from her mother.

* EquivalentExchange: This was part of the side effect of the Wish. By wishing that people would love Marinette in an effort to waste the wish before Monarch could use it, she created a new reality where Marinette was in triage with Alya and Chloe and Kagami had romantic interests in the former. In exchange, Adrien was never allowed to leave his home and develop romantic ties with either Marinette or Kagami, while Nino was never locked in a cage with Alya or fell in love with her. In addition, some relationships are more distant or toxic, such as Chloe with her father or Kagami with her mother.

** Zoe is all the way in New York and her relationship with Chloe and her family is far from well known. However it’s because Alya could recall Zoe's name and that she had some relationship to Chloe that got Chloe and Marinette to realize that something was up and led to them investigating.

* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:The unknown entity that attacked the Temple of the Guardians 200 years before the story, who stole several Miraculous Box and killed most of the Guardians. A young Fu managed to escape with the Chinese Miraculous Box but lost the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculouses in the struggle, which ended up in the hand of the Agrestes. The entity would soon return in the present day, forcing Fu to scatter and hide the Miraculi for their potential chosen to find them before he’s killed fighting the entity]].

* OhCrapThereAreFanficsOfUs: There are fanfics based on the heroes and villains of Paris, though the only type known to cause distress to the heroes, specifically Alya and Chloe, are the 'Queena' fanfics (Queen Bee x Rena Rouge).

* {{Polyamory}}: In the new reality, Marinette is dating both Alya and Chloe, and it is implied Kagami will join her “harem” as well.
* RealityWarpingIsNotAToy: A more sympathetic take on this trope as Alya's wish (that people would love Marinette) was a desperate attempt to stop Monarch from using Ladybug and Black Cat Miraculous after defeating the heroes because she thought it was a harmless wish that wouldn't change things too much. She also had seconds to think of something before Monarch made his own wish. Though as the Kwami Stompp [[BrutalHonesty bluntly]] tells her AlternateTimeline self, there's no such thing as a harmless wish since the alterations are something that not even the Kwamis themselves can control. The results range from positive (Chloe having a HeelFaceTurn thanks to being in a [[{{Polyamory}} relationship with Marinette and Alya]]), to negative ([[spoiler:Master Fu already killed by an unknown adversary after having to scatter the Miraculouses]]), or even completely mundane changes (Zoe being taller than her half-sister Chloe).
* RightForTheWrongReasons: Kim is right that Marinette is a good influence on Chloe because of magic. He is wrong, however, to suggest that Marinette is using black magic to influence Chloe into behaving, a Kwami wish instead created the circumstances for it.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: Alya, the Kwamis, and Gabriel all have a {{Downplayed|Trope}} version of this trope: they can vaguely recall things such as previous Akumas and Sentimonsters, a vague sense of the timeline and the names of Miraculous wielders from the old timeline and some personality traits or characteristics like Cat Noir's fondness for puns or competence, but not the identities of the heroes. Alya also remembers certain facts she learned from the original reality, such as Chloe having an American half-sister named Zoe or Rose having an unidentified chronic illness.

* SecretKeeper: Gina Dupain is one of the few people to know that Marinette, Alya, and Chloe are dating in their civilian forms. Finding out in fact helped clear up the issues that would have resulted in her akumatization.
* SecretRelationship: Given the risks to their secret identities, Marinette, Alya, and Chloe keep their polycule relationship a secret, especially with the (correct) speculation that their hero identities are dating.

** Sabrina’s Vanisher powers is based on her portrayal in ''Webcomic/ScarletLady'', albeit instead of [[TheDogBitesBack getting back at Chloe for all her abuse]], it was because [[{{Yandere}} she wanted to hold Chloe all to herself]].

* SilverFox: Alya and Chloe admit that Gina's kind of a hot grandma to Marinette's displeasure.

* TwinThreesomeFantasy: After Alya mentions the name "Zoe" from the old timeline and Chloe clarifies that's the name of her [[StrongFamilyResemblance near-identical half-sister]], Marinette doesn't take long to start imagining having a double of one of her girlfriends with a bit too much glee for Chloe's comfort.
-->'''Chloe''': You were thinking about having two of me around, weren’t you?\\

'''Chloe''': You will not be comparing me and contrasting Zoe, do you hear me! Nope! Nada! Not at all! Especially with whatever devious thoughts are going through that head of yours! Only I can think deviously around here, stop it! Especially if they involve me and my half-sister!

* WrongAssumption: After finding out that reality had been changed because someone interfered in his Wish, Gabriel suspects that Queen Bee was the one responsible, seeing her as the most selfish of the trio of heroes and the less likely to sympathize with his wish of bringing back Emilie. Besides the fact that Chloe wasn't a hero in the original timeline, it was actually Alya that interfered, albeit as a desperate and last-minute effort to stop him without any idea what his wish was.
* {{Yandere}}: Sabrina in the past didn’t take well of how close Marinette was getting with Chloe, fearing the former was replacing her. She got akumatized into Vanisher and trapped Chloe in a pocket dimension, singing how she’ll be the only one to take care of her.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: PlayedWith. Alya tries to waste Monarch's attempt to use the Miraculous Wish by wishing that people would love Marinette, who already has HundredPercentAdorationRating, thinking it wouldn't change the world too much. This creates a new reality where not only are Alya, Chloe, and Kagami all romantically attracted to Marinette (with Marinette in a triade with Alya and Chloe by the equivalent events of season 2), but they are several other changes either because of EquivalentExchange or because RealityWarpingIsNotAToy.

* WastefulWishing: Alya tries to invoke this trope at the start of the story when she interfered in Monarch’s effort by wishing that everyone loves Marinette, because the latter already has HundredPercentAdorationRating and she thought it wouldn't change the world too much. As it turns out, the wishes have a greater impact than she anticipated.

** Simon Says in canon was created when Gabriel rudely refused to take part in The Challenge and then was mocked and dragged off set on Alec's orders. In story Simon was even more quickly rebuked by Tomoe in the final found, not only costing him any chance of victory but being dialed someone who was ''blind'' and thus completely impossible for his cards to do anything to made him and the temporary hosts Aurore and Mireille feel like it wasn't fair at all.

* SuperheroPrevalenceStages: The fic is set firmly in stage three. Why Ladybug is the first hero in Paris, heroes are internationally known enough to have an extensive set of international statutes that impact everything they do, including rules about killing citizens (do not) and when they can kick bad guys in the balls (only during combat).

* CallForward: The timeline of the new reality takes place around thr time of season 2, [[spoiler:though chapter 2 has Tomoe Tsurugi cooperating with Hawkmoth to develop magic-channeling technology as she does in the season 5 episode "Multiplication"]].

* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:The unknown entity that attacked the Temple of the Guardians 200 years before the story, who stole several Miraculous Box and killed most of the Guardians. A young Fu managed to escape with the Chinese Miraculous Box but lost the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculouses in the struggle, which ended up in the hand of the Agrestes. The entity would soon return in the present day, forcing Fu to scatter and hide the Miraculouses for their potential chosen to find them before he is killed fighting the entity]].
* GroinAttack: There are rules about when heroes can do this. Ladybug is fine to kick Person Snatcher in the balls (with a Lucky Charm pair of cleats) when fighting him, but Queen Bee cannot kick restrained villains the same way no matter what they say.

** Zoe is all the way in New York and her relationship with Chloe and her family is far from well known. However it is because Alya could recall Zoe's name and that she had some relationship to Chloe that got Chloe and Marinette to realize that something was up and led to them investigating.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: In chapter 2, Tomoe refers to Hawkmoth’s akumas as “scribbles”. [[spoiler:Near the end of the chapter, it is shown that Tomoe knows Hawkmoth is Gabriel Agreste, and sees his Akumas as a waste of his talents as a designer]].

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Gabriel fully admits he does not understand why Audrey and Andre are still married, why Mr. Ramier is so obsessed with pigeons, or why Tomoe [[spoiler: wanted Emilie to create Sentimonsters to try and kill her as part of their business arrangements]].

* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: Kagami is shown to be far too normalized to the TrainingFromHell her mother Tomoe puts her through to really notice that it is not normal or okay. She often has to deal with attack robots breaking into her locker room for surprise training and treats the idea casually, and doesn't notice Rena Rougue's horrified expression at the visible ''bullet scars'' on her legs. Part of the reason Kagami treats her life as normal stems from how Kagami's mother went through similar trials in both her childhood and the present. In fact, it is even implied that Tomoe's training was worse so from Kagami's perspective she has it easy.
