These examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread.

!!This fic contains the following tropes:

* ActionGirl: Elsa and Anna, being Jaeger pilots. Marshal Kerensky also counts, being one of those who fought the Kaiju War before there were Jaegers.
* AlternateHistory: Kaiju attacks aside, in this continuity Crown Prince Haakon of Norway had two daughters born slightly earlier than his real life progeny.
* AnIcePerson: one of Frozen Heart's ranged weapons is this, a cryo-cannon in its right arm that freezes kaiju, which is described as a compact version of the ones that Horizon Brave has.
* BashBrothers: well, sisters, but Elsa and Anna are this.
* BilingualBonus: characters occasionally speak in their native languages, mostly Russian, Norwegian, Swedish. Some weapon system names are also rendered in their home languages as well. A line spoken by Kristoff early on makes little sense unless you know that "in i dimman" is Swedish literal for "into the fog" and slang for "let's get wasted."
* BodyHorror: [[spoiler: solo-piloting is NOT fun.]]
* CallForward: being set near the tail end of the Golden Age of Jaeger Combat means that they encounter much of the difficulties in fighting kaiju that would become more pronounced in Pacific Rim the film proper.
* ChainsawGood: Frozen Heart's right arm close-quarters weapon is a circular saw in its right elbow. [[spoiler: RealityEnsues when it's shown to grant an advantage in grappling but lacks penetration and thus the ability to cause sufficiently traumatic damage to end fights]].
* Eagleland: Elsa and Anna's initial impressions of the Jaeger Academy on Kodiak Island.
* TheEngineer: two of them. Pabbie Stein is the chief engineer in charge of repairs, while Dell Conagher is the head of Jaeger Tech responsible for designing weapons.
* EyeScream: Kristoff [[spoiler: inflicts one on Bilgesnipe with a [[BFG Barrett M107CQ]], and the effects of an anti-materiel round bouncing around its orbital cavity are described in some detail.]]
* FusionFic: the Scandinavian countries take place of Arendelle, while the most of the Frozen characters get real world counterparts. Many of the songs from Frozen also made it in, either as dialogue or descriptive prose.
* HypocriticalHumor: "It is not nice to throw people!" Anna shouts after being thrown by a kaiju. The next thing she does? A seoi-nage judo throw.
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: The chapters are named after different acts of Wagner's Ring Cyle.
* KillItWithFire: Frozen Heart's other primary ranged weapon, a flamer in its left hand.
* LighterAndSofter: than Frozen, kind of - the lack of magic powers means that there's no accidental childhood injuring to drive a wedge between Elsa and Anna, and they go through life as loving sisters. On the other hand, DarkerAndEdgier also applies, what with the kaiju attacks and all.
* MamaBear/PapaWolf: Sasha and Aleksis Kaidanovsky, in a surrogate sense. [[spoiler: Being rendered infertile due to inadequate radiation shielding in Mark-1 Jaegers will do that.]]
* MissionControl: Oaken does this for Vladivostok. He retains his trademark "yoo-hoo" CatchPhrase.
* ParentalAbandonment: Elsa and Anna lost their parents in the third kaiju attack on Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
* PowerFist: the Kinetic Strike Module.
* PsychicNosebleed: [[spoiler: what happens when Elsa has to solo-pilot. Among other things.]]
* PungeonMaster: Anna fancies herself this, much to Elsa's annoyance.
* RealityEnsues: The attack on Cabo San Lucas. The royal servants who try to get Elsa and Anna to safety die not from the kaiju, but from the sheer number of panicking escapees that caused a massive pileup on the main highway leading to the airport.
* RedOniBlueOni: Elsa is more analytical and cautious in her fighting style, while Anna is more instinctive. They pass greater or less amounts of control to each other depending on the situation; Elsa handles more of the longer ranged weapons, outfighting, and ground-grappling, while Anna handles the Kinetic Strike Module and clinch fighting.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: piloting a Jaeger would count as "do something". Elsa and Anna are also compared to historical examples of this.
* ShoulderCannon: Frozen Heart used to have this, before being switched out for Angel Wings due to ranged weapons being more and more insufficient to put down kaiju before they close to melee.
* ShoutOut: In addition to the many to both universes:
** [[Gargoyles Xanatos Industries]] exists, and not only did they provide Frozen Heart's operating system, but they also provided Dr. Anton Sevarius as Vladivostok's head of Kaiju Science.
** Frozen Heart's left arm weapons are a [[BigO "Megadeus"]] [[XCOMEnemyUnknown Kinetic Strike Module]] and a [[Starcraft Perdition Incendiary Gauntlet]].
** The Marshal of Vladivostok Shatterdome has the bloodname - er, surname - of [[BattleTech Kerensky]].
** Vladivostok's chief armaments officer, on the other hand, is a soft-spoken Texan named [[TeamFortress2 Dell Conagher]].
** The kaiju itself is codenamed [[Film/TheAvengers "Bilgesnipe"]].
** Various aspects of the novelization are also referenced.
** The sisters play Left4Dead as adolescents. Being a game that punishes players for LoneWolf tendencies, this is meant to highlight their rapport with each other.
* ShownTheirWork: Author's note - "I have learned a lot more about Norway than I will ever need to know for the rest of my life."
* TakeThat: on a very slight level, Elsa and Anna have some distaste for America's Eagleland tendencies, at least at first. Segments placed later chronologically shows them as getting along quite well with the American Jaeger pilots, strongly implied to be the Becket brothers.
* TechnologyPorn: descriptions of the Jaeger deployment
* ThemeMusicPowerUp: due to originally coming from a Disney musical, Elsa and Anna are rather adept singers, and part of their pre-deployment psych-up ritual involves a modified duet on "Do You Wanna Build A Snowman".
* WarriorPrince: Hans of all people is this, having been a Danish Air Force pilot.
* WeaponizedExhaust: [[spoiler: Frozen Heart does, after all, share the same power core as Gipsy Danger.]]
* WhamLine: [[spoiler: "Marshal...she's chasing the RABIT."]]
* WhatsUpKingDude: due to spending all that time in the Shatterdome, Elsa and Anna are a lot more informal than heads of state usually are.
