History Fanfic / AvengersInfiniteWars

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: While the Avengers are inclined to side with the Republic as they first witnessed the Separatists attacking civilian targets, after doing some research on the recent history of the Republic Steve observes that the Republic didn’t exactly do much to address the concerns of the planets that would become part of the Separatists.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12260787/1/Avengers-Infinite-Wars Avengers: Infinite Wars]]'' by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/3647591/free-man-writer free man writer]] is a crossover between ''Franchise/StarWars'' and the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, which starts in a slightly AU-[=MCU=] post ''Film/AntMan'' where Pietro survived the Battle of Sokovia and Scott and Hope became official Avengers. While the team investigate a lead on a new Hydra base, they trigger an unknown Hydra experiment that displaces all nine Avengers- Captain America, the Black Widow, the Falcon, Quicksilver, War Machine, the Scarlet Witch, the Vision, Ant-Man and the Wasp- into the ''Star Wars'' universe during the Clone Wars. Lost in the galaxy, the Avengers find themselves joining forces with the Republic as they try to find each other once again and find a way home.

* RoguesGalleryTransplant: As well as the Avengers gaining the forces of the Separatists as enemies- with Durge and Asajj Ventress being particular potential recurring adversaries- back on Earth [[spoiler:Spider-Man and Daredevil have a run-in with Ulysses Klaue, who is more of an adversary to Iron Man and Black Panther than either of them]].

* RefusedTheCall: Invoked but ultimately defied; on Earth, [[spoiler:Matt initially rejects Tony's offer that he join the Avengers as he prefers to operate on the street fighting for the people the Avengers might overlook, but changes his mind when he learns that most of the original Avengers are missing]].

* BerateAndSwitch: Talking with Anakin about Ahsoka, Steve observes that they are both “arrogant, cocky, self-centered [and] totally sure of themselves to an absurd degree”, but makes it clear that he admires both Jedi for their strong will, compassion to their friends and concern for those under their command.
* BizarreAlienBiology: In a confrontation with [[spoiler:Durge, he survives being impaled with a lightsaber as he has no real skeleton or nervous system to be damaged by such an attack, as well as taking attacks from three Jedi and War Machine at the same time; even being blown to pieces by one of War Machine’s Tank Missiles just stopped him for the moment rather than killing him for good]].

* ClosestThingWeGot: In the absence of Tony Stark, Scott Lang and Hope van Dyne have become the Avengers' technical specialists, although they are only able to keep their existing equipment in order rather than make anything completely new or upgrade it.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: In-universe, Yoda reflects that he and other Jedi Masters felt a surge in the Force about three years before the current storyline, but it takes meeting Steve, Sam, and Scott for Yoda to tentatively identify the date of that surge as the day the Avengers first came together.

* RealityEnsues

* AvengersAssemble: A key element of this fic is the Avengers attempting to find their missing members.

* BadassNormal: Particularly applies to Sam; while he has no enhanced abilities like Steve, or especially unique technology like Scott or Rhodey (Dooku himself thinks at one point that jetpacks aren’t uncommon), he still fights with such skill that the clones compare him to a Jedi.

* UnderestimatingBadassery:
** Ventress first did this to both Captain America and Falcon in their first fight, as she initially believes that they won't be much of a threat due to her own combat skills and force abilities.
**

* GoodIsNotDumb: Despite being a hero fighting to keep the peace, Captain America shows time and time again that he's not naive when it comes to the inevitability of war (considering his own experiences in World War 2 and the events of the ''Winter Soldier'') and he's also very perceptive of other peoples' intentions and can play the political game. This trait is what makes him a '''big''' threat in Palpatine's eyes.

* BottomlessMagazines: To a degree; until Chapter 14, Sam, Scott, Rhodes and Hope (the Avengers most reliant on resources for their weapons to work) showed no sign of being worried that they might run out of standard ammunition for Sam and Rhodes’ weapons or Scott and Hope’s Pym particles, although Rhodes expressed concern that he only has a few of his most powerful weapons available, [[spoiler:such as the tank missile he uses to try and kill Durge]]. Chapter 19 confirms that Hope is working with the Jedi to get permission for the Avengers to have a private lab she can use to create more Pym particles, although it appears that this is only required for their shrunken equipment while Scott and Hope's suits possess their size-changing abilities on their own.

* LatexPerfection: Chapter 19 features [[spoiler:a holographic version of this once again allowing Natasha Romanoff to pose as someone else to thwart the villains' plans]].

* NoGearLevel: Anakin and Scott experience this in chapter 19, when they become caught in the Senate during a hostage crisis when Padme has Anakin's lightsabre and Scott's suit was getting work done.

* BottomlessMagazines: To a degree; until Chapter 14, Sam, Scott, Rhodes and Hope (the Avengers most reliant on resources for their weapons to work) showed no sign of being worried that they might run out of standard ammunition for Sam and Rhodes’ weapons or Scott and Hope’s Pym particles, although Rhodes expressed concern that he only has a few of his most powerful weapons available, [[spoiler:such as the tank missile he uses to try and kill Durge]].

*** That said, most of the above have been shown to have limited independent range (Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan only spoke to each other on the same planet, the hand-held holo-projectors could have been displaying a message sent to another system, etc.) so the possibility that they are impressed at the versatility of the phone is still valid.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: The additional threat posed by the Avengers prompts Sidious and Dooku to [[spoiler:dispatch Durge to rescue the captured Nute Gunray rather than just rely on Ventress for the mission]].

* AbnormalAmmo: Scott in particular uses this, with characters being caught off-guard to see him nonchalantly shrink an enemy tank or enlarge a grenade so that it can take out multiple enemy droids.
* ActorAllusion: As well as all depicted Avengers briefly assuming that Mace Windu is Nick Fury upon meeting him, Steve privately reflected that he found Padme Amidala familiar, although Hope is the first one to ‘recognise’ Padme as Jane Foster’s double.

* ArtificialIntelligence: As well as the droids, it is revealed that the War Machine armour has its own A.I., much like the Iron Man armors had JARVIS and FRIDAY, with Rhodey’s version being known as ‘Tap’ and speaking with a Russian accent.

* BerateAndSwitch: Talking with Anakin about Ahsoka, Steve observes that they are both “arrogant, cocky, self-centred [and] totally sure of themselves to an absurd degree”, but makes it clear that he admires both Jedi for their strong will, compassion to their friends and concern for those under their command.

* CorruptBureaucrat: Steve observes that the Galactic Senate has various examples of this, although he initially just finds himself uncomfortable around Palpatine without realising the implications of that discomfort.

* CurbStompBattle: War Machine versus Separatist battle droids is amusingly one-sided in Rhodes’ favour, and Pietro makes a significant impression during his time on Ryloth.

* EvilCounterpart: An argument could be made for [[spoiler:Durge being this for War Machine, as both are military leaders who use armoured battlesuits, although Durge is fairly dangerous even without his suit while Rhodes would ‘just’ be another human without the armour]].
* ExpendableClone: Ignored; even after learning that the soldiers are clones, the Avengers never show any signs that they consider the clones less than people.
* FireForgedFriends: Steve, Sam and Scott quickly prove themselves to the Republic forces when they automatically leap to the defence of the Naboo civilians without knowing anything about the wider context of the current war, with the other Avengers making a similar impression on the natives of the worlds they arrived on.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In-universe, Yoda reflects that he and other Jedi Masters felt a surge in the Force about three years before the current storyline, but it takes meeting Steve, Sam and Scott for Yoda to tentatively identify the date of that surge as the day the Avengers first came together.
* FriendToAllChildren: While protecting soldiers from the Separatists and gathering supplies, Pietro also takes time to collect a few toys for the children, [[spoiler:and Hope later convinces a couple of clones to help her protect a Twi'lek child during the mission to Ryloth despite the additional challenge]].

** This actually contradicts Star Wars canon, where comm links are easily hand-held and can be as small as, if not smaller than, many cellphones, and be used both to communicate and send complex data[[note]]Qui-Gon Jinn uses one to transmit Anakin's blood sample to Obi-Wan in Episode I. The same commlinks also appear in Episode III, and several episodes of the Clone Wars animated series.[[/note]]. They also have hand-held hologram projectors.

* RammingAlwaysWorks: During the battle to re-take Ryloth, [[spoiler:Rhodey inflicts damage on a Separatist ship by leaving explosives in the seat of his fighter and programming it to collide with the ship while he dons his armour and flies alongside it]].

* YouRemindMeOfX: Steve hasn’t outright said it, or even acknowledged it to himself, but his sense of discomfort around Palpatine and a vague feeling that the other man reminds him of someone is almost certainly a reference to Alexander Pierce.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: Pietro was never killed in the Battle of Sokovia on Earth, and the Clone Troopers guarding the near-Kamino outpost all survive the Separatist attack thanks to the assistance of War Machine.

* NotSoStoic: At one point, Scott ends up leading a sizeable portion of the Jedi Temple- including a few Masters- in singing songs from Queen.

* CurbStompBattle: War Machine versus Separatist battle droids is amusingly one-sided in Rhodes’ favour.

* FriendToAllChildren: While protecting soldiers from the Separatists and gathering supplies, Pietro also takes time to collect a few toys for the children.

** This actually contradicts Star Wars canon, where comm links are easily hand-held and can be as small as, if not smaller than, many cellphones, and be used both to communicate and send complex data[[note]]Qui-Gon Jinn uses one to transmit Anakin's blood sample to Obi-Wan in Episode I[[/note]]

* ClosestThingWeveGot: In the absence of Tony Stark, Scott Lang and Hope van Dyne have become the Avengers' technical specialists, although they are only able to keep their existing equipment in order rather than make anything completely new or upgrade it.

* BottomlessMagazines: To a degree; so far Sam, Scott, Rhodes and Hope (the Avengers most reliant on resources for their weapons to work) have shown no sign of being worried that they might run out of standard ammunition for Sam and Rhodes’ weapons or Scott and Hope’s Pym particles, although Rhodes has expressed concern that he only has a few of his most powerful weapons available, [[spoiler:such as the tank missile he uses to try and kill Durge]].

* {{Foreshadowing}}: In-universe, Yoda reflects that he and other Jedi Masters felt a surge in the Force about three years before the current storyline, but it takes until meeting Steve, Sam and Scott for Yoda to tentatively identify the date of that surge as the day the Avengers first came together.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: Hope apparently spent some time defending the natives before Captain America and his clone troops arrived.

* CloningBlues: Ignored; even after learning that the soldiers are clones, the Avengers never show any signs that they consider the clones less than people.

Lost in the galaxy, the Avengers find themselves joining forces with the Republic as they try to find each other once again and find a way home.

* SingleBiomePlanet: The idea of most worlds in ‘Star Wars’ being examples of this is referenced when the Jedi younglings are surprised at Scott’s tales of Earth reflecting the scale of environments that can be found on the planet.

* OutOfContextProblem: While both sides in the Clone Wars are used to facing Jedi and Sith, they are unprepared to face enemies with the Avengers’ abilities and technology.
