''Empath: The Luckiest Smurf'' is a fanfiction series created by Vic George that is based on Franchise/TheSmurfs. It features his main character Empath Smurf, who is born with [[{{Telepathy}} telepathic]] and [[MindOverMatter telekinetic abilities]]. It is set in [[PatchworkFic its own universe]] mostly based around the [[WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981 1980s cartoon show]], but also featuring characters from ComicBook/TheSmurfs comic books, Sony Pictures' live-action ''Film/TheSmurfs'' film series, ''WesternAnimation/SmurfsTheLostVillage'', ''ComicBook/JohanAndPeewit'', and [[MerchandiseDriven the [=PVC=] toy character line]].

* AdaptationNameChange: The Book That Tells Everything from the comic books is renamed The Great Book Of Answers in the story of the same name. Also Adhemar and Godillot from the comic book story "The Jewel Smurfer" are renamed Stanley and Simon in the adaptation "Empath The Bandit Smurf".

* TheHerosBirthday: The novel begins on the main character's 150th birthday, which turns out to be the day when he is finally released from being in Psychelia, and most of the Smurfs in the village are preparing for his birthday and his arrival home. 150 years for a Smurf (particularly a male Smurf) is basically the age of entering adulthood, as in ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981'' cartoon show.

* AdiposeRex: King Glouton from the story "Chez Empath".

* AndImTheQueenOfSheba: How Grouchy responds to Empath in [[http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121003121524/smurfsfanon/images/a/ae/Grouchy_Drunk_Again.jpg this cartoon]].

* [[StagParty Bachelor Party]]: A G-rated version of this appears in the story "Empath's Wedding", where it starts off as the Smurfs' one last adventure with Gargamel in an Imaginarium fantasy setting, and then it turns into a beach dance party that most of Empath's fellow Smurfs (except for Tapper and Hefty) attend.

* BadGuyBar: The Slime Bar is implied to be one, though it is only mentioned in "Wild's First Christmas".
* BarBrawl: Hefty, Tuffy, and Duncan [=McSmurf=] get into one with the Wartmongers in "Empath The Wartmonger".

* BerserkButton: In the alternate timeline of Papa Smurf being married to Smurfette, Sassette dares mention that Empath is the one who truly loves Smurfette to Papa Smurf, and Papa Smurf slaps Sassette in the face for it, just having disowned him after he and the other Smurfs exiled the married couple and their child and then were trapped in time!
** And in turn, Papa Smurf slapping Sassette becomes one for Smurfette, who promptly ends up leaving him and taking their daughter with her.
* BigNo: Papa Smurf seeing Smurfette depart from him with his daughter through her in an alternate timeline where he married Smurfette.
* BigYes: Snappy when he first hears that Empath and Smurfette are going to be married in "Empath's Wedding".

* BondingOverMissingParents: The explanation for why Papa Smurf is the sole parent of a hundred Smurfs in the fanfiction series.

* ChickMagnet: Papa Smurf in "Virtual Smurfality" becomes this when he ends up being the only Smurf left in the Imaginarium beach setting and the imaginary Smurfettes are all chasing after him. Empath in his normal state can sometimes be this.

* ComingOutStory: Sort of for Clumsy in "My Unsmurfy Valentine." The object of his affections, Brainy, doesn't reciprocate, though.

* ContinuityNod: Plenty of it in reference to the ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981'' cartoon show.

* CreatingLifeIsBad: The Psyche Master became the creator of his own MasterRace, the morally-ambiguous Psyches.
* CriminalAmnesiac: Empath as the Bandit Smurf.

* CursedWithAwesome: The reindeer with the shiny nose? [[Literature/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer Doesn't he remind you of someone...?]]

* DisneyDeath: Empath in "The Innocence Of A Smurf".

* [[DistractedByTheSexy Distracted By The Smurfy]]: Vanity in "My Unsmurfy Valentine" gets so distracted by Smurfette after he runs into her that it takes a while for him to snap back to looking at himself in his mirror.

* EasyAmnesia: Empath develops this in the story "Empath The Bandit Smurf" to become the titular Bandit Smurf.
* EasyEvangelism: Averted; Tapper is faced with the fact that converting Smurfs to Christianity will not be easy, but he won't stop trying.

* [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench Everything Sounds Smurfier In French]]: Painter notably speaks more French in this series (or Schtroumpf, which is what the language is called).
* EvilMakesYouUgly: Tapper believes this is what became of Gargamel and Hogatha, as he told Empath in "Smurfette's Inner Beauty".

* {{Expy}}:
** Nabby is one for the comic book version of Greedy since Greedy is still the village chef.
** The Psyche Master is basically one for [[Film/{{Tron}} the MCP]].
** Traveler is one for Waverider from DC Comics' ''ComicBook/{{Armageddon 2001}}''.
** Glonk is basically [[Series/TheMuppetShow Animal's head]] with arms and legs.
** [=HoloSmurf=] is intended to be that for the Doctor from ''Series/StarTrekVoyager''.
** Empath himself is an ''unintentional'' expy of Apprentice/Alchemist/Magician Smurf. His future self even lampshades it in "Days Of Future Smurfed".

* FantasticRacism[=/=]FantasticSlurs: Smurfs are considered "savages" to Psyches, while Hefty refers to Empath and Polaris (both telepaths) as "star faces".

* FingerMuzzle: In "Days Of Auld Lang Smurf", the Imaginarium version of Papa Smurf's wife does this to him when they're alone with each other.

* [[FirstGirlWins First Smurf Wins]]: A gender-inverted example, where Hefty is the first Smurf that Smurfette meets (back before she was a real Smurf). However, in the normal timeline, she never ends up falling in love with or marrying Hefty, which makes him upset at first, but he ultimately decides to resolve matters with his rival Empath before the marriage. It's only in the alternate timeline where Empath ends up going back to Psychelia and becoming the next Psyche Master where Smurfette falls in love with and marries Hefty.

* ForgottenBirthday: Empath's in "Smurfed Behind: The Departure". Actually, the Smurfs didn't forget it; they just couldn't celebrate it because they all got transported back in time.

* FreudianSlip: Empath makes a few in "I Dream Of Smurfette" when talking to Smurfette, and Hefty makes one in "Hefty, The Luckiest Smurf".
* FreudianTrio: Tuffy (id), Hefty (ego), and Duncan [=McSmurf=] (superego).
** Also Duncan (id), Empath (ego), and Tapper (superego).
** And Grouchy (id), Empath (ego), and Polaris Psyche (superego).

** As an interesting StealthPun, [[spoiler:Vanity is turning himself gay with the Hallucinator]].

* GoodGuyBar[=/=]LocalHangout: Tapper's Tavern.
* GotVolunteered: Lazy as Duncan's challenger to his claim to marry his bride in "Duncan's Wedding".

* HappinessIsMandatory: The Psyche Master enforces total non-expression of emotion on all Psyches, including Empath.

* HeroicBastard: In the series, it's Brainy, who is Empath's half-brother. Empath's mother had him after she left Papa Smurf following Empath's "death". Brainy's actual father also wore glasses, but he never married his mother.

* HeroicBSOD: Papa Smurf upon losing his only begotten son Empath to the Psyche Master, assuming that he was killed, suffered about 50 years of this before ThePlague took away his friends and put him in the role of Papa Smurf.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: Empath and Polaris, although Polaris is more asexual than heterosexual.

* [[HiveQueen Hive King]]: The Psyche Master is supposed to be this for the Psyches.

* HomeBase: The Smurf Village.

* HulkingOut: Papa Smurf in the story "Papa's Big Crush" when he inhales the "pheromone cologne" mixed in with his other chemicals.

* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: Said by Jokey posing as Gargamel to Smurfette in the novel, while adding "and your little blue friend, too."
** In the ''A Narrator's Story'' episode "Smurfs Of Grey", Papa Smurf's EvilTwin the Great Leader strokes Smurfette's hair after she's been captured and separates her from her fellow Smurfs with the intention of marrying her.

* [[TheInternetIsForPorn The Imaginarium Is For Porn]][=/=]TheRuleOfFirstAdopters: As with the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' holodecks, the Imaginarium is also being used to satisfy a Smurf's desire to be alone with a Smurfette, as seen on a few occasions, including when it was first introduced.
* [[HolodeckMalfunction Imaginarium Malfunction]]: In "Virtual Smurfality", the Imaginarium upon its trial run overloads when the Smurfs go off into their own fantasy worlds, trapping them inside the worlds until Empath and several other Smurfs use the mindlink ability to get them all out before the crystals shatter.

* [[INeedAFreakingDrink I Need A Smurfing Drink]]: Many of the adult Smurfs end up having Tapper's sarsaparilla ale instead of smurfberry wine after [[ThisIsWrongOnSoManyLevels witnessing Smurfette marrying Papa Smurf in an alternate timeline]]. In the normal timeline story "Papa's Big Crush", Duncan [=McSmurf=] goes with Tapper to the tavern for a drink to get the thoughts of Smurfette with Papa Smurf out of his mind.

* InsigniaRipoffRitual: In the alternate timeline story "Papa Smurf & Mama Smurfette", Empath as the leader of LaResistance in the Smurf Village removes Papa Smurf's red hat and replaces it with a white hat while he replaces his own black star-spangled hat with Papa Smurf's red hat, symbolically showing that Papa Smurf no longer deserves to be recognized as the village leader and that Empath will now take over the position.

* InterspeciesFriendship: Empath Smurf and Polaris Psyche.

* [[IWantGrandkids I Want Grandsmurfs]]: A justified gender-inverted example, in that since there's only one adult female Smurf among them who's about the same age physically [[YoungerThanTheyLook if not chronologically]] as her fellow adult male Smurfs, Papa Smurf is hoping that one of his little Smurfs would marry her and have children so that their people would not die off. The only problem with that idea was that [[{{Ephebophile}} Papa Smurf]] [[PervertDad was also in love with Smurfette]], and in an alternate timeline even marries her.

* KnightKnaveAndSquire: Duncan [=McSmurf=] as Knight, Hefty as Knave, and Tuffy as Squire.

* LecherousLicking: Papa Smurf under the influence of the "pheromone cologne" and [[HulkingOut Hulked Out]] licks Smurfette's face in "Papa's Big Crush".
* [[LightsOffSomebodyDies Lights Off, Somebody Smurfs]]: The story "A Haunted Christmas" plays around with this, as after Smurfette tells her story of the first Christmas she spent with the Smurfs, the lights go off at the Christmas dinner, and Smurfette inexplicably disappears without a sound. The story ends leaving Smurfette's fate ambiguous.

* {{Magitek}}: Hogatha the witch in "Smurfette's Inner Beauty" uses a magic mirror social network called [[Website/{{Facebook}} Magebook]] in order to find a date.

** According to the author, this is used as a TakeThat toward the character Gutsy being used in ''Film/TheSmurfs'' movie to steal the spotlight from Hefty.
** Most of the time with Hefty, it's more of an InsultOfEndearment, as he rarely calls Duncan by his true name.

* MasterRace: The Psyches are implied to be this.
* MateOrDie: Empath, in an alternate timeline where he is returned to Psychelia a year after his 150th birthday, suffers from this condition, and thus a female Psyche is chosen to be his mate.
** Also in the story "Papa's Big Crush", where Papa Smurf is affected by the "pheromone cologne" mixed with other chemicals, causing him to be [[HulkingOut Hulked Out]] and to have an insatiable desire for Smurfette. Fortunately, Smurfette was spared the squicky fate by the Smurfs creating a life-size doll of her for Papa Smurf to expend his mating energy upon.

* MindRape: The Psyche Master subjects Empath to this as an infant to erase all his memories.

* [[MyGirlIsNotASlut My Smurfette Is Not a Slut!]]: Empath's response to Ares commenting about what Smurfette may be doing with her fellow Smurfs while she is separated from Empath via time travel in "Smurfing In Heaven". Bear in mind that all the Smurf characters in the story series (excluding the previously-married Papa Smurf) are virgins right up to the point of Empath and Smurfette's marriage.
* MythologyGag: Narrator in "Empath's Wedding" recites a modified version of his Gargamel battle sequence speech from ''Film/TheSmurfs'' movie during a similar one in the Imaginarium, with Grouchy reacting the same way.
-->'''Narrator''': There comes a time when every Smurf must stand up for what is good and cute and blue in the world. And on this very night before Empath and Smurfette's wedding, that time is now!
-->'''Grouchy''': Hey, seriously?\\

* NamedByTheAdaptation: The nameless Thief Of Abelagot from the comic book story "The Jewel Smurfer" was given the name Vincent Devereaux in the adaptation story "Empath The Bandit Smurf", while the Duke Of Abelagot is named Lord Caravellan.

* NocturnalEmission: Suggested to have happened to Empath in the novel, and to his fellow Smurfs in "I Dream Of Smurfette".

* OffToSeeTheWizard: The Smurflings in "Somewhere Over The Rainbow".

* OlderThanTheyLook: The Smurfs, with the exception of Smurfette, again fit this trope. Discussed by Empath and Homnibus in "The Exile Of Psychelia", where the elderly human wizard is surprised by how young Empath looks for 151 years of age.

* [[OnePersonBirthdayParty One-Smurf Birthday Party]]: In the story "Smurfed Behind: The Departure", the Smurfs are all busy preparing for Empath's 155th birthday party when they all get sucked into the prehistoric past when Papa Smurf opens a time portal to bring the baby dinosaur they found back home. By the time Empath arrives, only Polaris Psyche is left in the village, and the party is pretty much abandoned as Empath heartbreakingly celebrates his birthday by toasting marshmallows instead.

* PassionPlay: The time-traveling story "Smurfed Behind: The Passion Of The Smurfs", with Judas Iscariot resembling Gargamel and having a cat similar to Azrael.
* PatchworkFic: See above description. Greedy's still the village chef, though.

* [[PlayboyBunny Playsmurf Bunny]]: Suggested by Slouchy Smurfling in the story "Smurfed Behind: The Passion Of The Smurfs" when Snappy complains about not seeing Smurfette dressed up as a bunny for Easter when they're in Jerusalem to see what Tapper says [[PassionPlay the holiday is really about]].

* PolarOppositeTwins: Hefty and Handy are the BrainsAndBrawn twins, but are not identical.

* PrecisionFStrike: Earl Flatbroke in the adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfsAndTheMagicFlute'': "I don't give a flying fig for what they'll say."

* ProjectedMan: The [=HoloSmurf=] seen in a few stories of the Smurfed Behind saga.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Empath gives one to his fellow Smurfs in the novel, finishing it with the following:

* RecycledInSpace: "Monkey On Your Smurf" is ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'''s "Scientific Method" set in medieval period Europe.

* RemixComic: "Smurfed Behind: The Departure" is presented as this.
* LaResistance: Empath leads one against Papa Smurf in the alternate timeline where he marries Smurfette in "Papa Smurf & Mama Smurfette".
* ResistanceIsFutile: Said by the Psyche Master in the alternate timeline story where Empath returns to Psychelia.

* SantaClaus: Again, Mr. Nicholas is the series' analog.
* SavingChristmas: "Empath And The Red-Nosed Reindeer".

* [[SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan Sensitive Smurf and Manly Smurf]]: Tapper is the [[{{Oireland}} Oirish]] Sensitive Smurf bartender who likes talking to his customers and speaking to them about Literature/TheBible, dressing in a striped vest and tie, while Duncan [=McSmurf=] (the CaptainErsatz of Gutsy from ''Film/TheSmurfs'' films) is the BraveScot Manly Smurf who wears a kilt, whose hobbies involve physical sports and knocking Smurfs on their tails, especially if they happen to call him [[InSeriesNickname Gutsy]]. Both Tapper and Duncan happen to be friends with each other, with Duncan serving as the superego in the FreudianTrio of himself, Hefty (ego) and Tuffy (id).

* ShoutOut: The story titles "[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight Smurphony Of The Night]]", "[[WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer Empath And The Red-Nosed Reindeer]]", "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz Somewhere Over The Rainbow]]", "[[Franchise/StarTrek Where No Smurf Has Gone Before]]", "[[Music/{{Madonna}} Smurfing Like A Ray Of Sunshine]]", "[[Music/NewKidsOnTheBlock The New Smurfs On The Block]]", "[[Literature/LeftBehind Smurfed Behind: The Departure]]", "[[Film/ThePassionOfTheChrist Smurfed Behind: The Passion Of The Smurfs]]", "[[Film/ReeferMadness Smurfnip Madness]]", "[[Music/TheMoodyBlues Days Of Future Smurfed]]".

* SmellsSexy: In "Papa's Big Crush", Papa Smurf after his HulkingOut moment pursues after Smurfette when he can smell her pheromones.
* [[SmokingHotSex Smoking Hot "Got Under Somebody's Hat"]]: Grouchy and his newlywed wife in "Grouchy's Wedding Blues".

* [[ManIFeelLikeAWoman Smurf, I Feel Like A Smurfette]]: In the story "Another Egg-Citing Day", which is an adaptation of the cartoon show episode "The Magic Egg," Jokey with the magic egg turns Tapper and Duncan [=McSmurf=] into Smurfettes, but instead of checking out their own new equipment, they just simply find each other to be rather attractive.
* {{Smurfing}}: Par for the course in this series. Interestingly, Empath can't speak a word in Smurf without sounding like MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels unless he's extremely angry or scared of something.
* [[TeenageWasteland Smurfling Wasteland]]: Notably averted in the novel, where ThePlague wipes out all of the adult Smurfs except for Papa Smurf himself, setting up the situation where he becomes the sole parent figure and leader of a hundred young Smurfs, most of whom wouldn't know how to run an entire village by themselves.
* [[HumanMail Smurf Mail]]: Jokey in "The No Hug Zone" tried to slip through Tapper and Empath's defenses in order to give Grouchy a hug by shipping himself through the mail to Tapper's Tavern.
* [[MarijuanaIsLSD Smurfnip Is LSD]]: In "Smurfnip Madness". One of Smurfette's hallucinations while under the influence is seeing Vexy and Hackus from ''Film/TheSmurfs2''. Also in the story, Handy created [[GogglesDoSomethingUnusual a special pair of glasses]] that simulate the visual effects of being under the influence of smurfnip.

* SugarBowl: The Smurf Village, though with less sugar than its mainstream media counterpart.

* TheTalk: Mentioned to Smurfette by Empath about what he told the Smurflings in "Polaris' Fantasy".

* [[TellMeAboutMyFather Tell Me About My Mother]]: In the novel, Papa Smurf tells Empath about his mother in the revelation that [[spoiler:Empath is Papa Smurf's only biological son]].

* [[ThatManIsDead That Smurf Is Dead]]: In the mini-stories, Empath thinks that his pre-Psyche self Empathy is dead, while his friend Duncan [=McSmurf=] thinks otherwise.

* TouchTelepathy: One of Empath's abilities in this series is that he could do this with both people and objects, with the exception that he cannot use it on magic-based objects.
* TronLines: Psychelian bodysuits emit these whenever Psyches are part of the mindlink in Psychelia.

* TheUnfavorite: Empath believes this of himself since he sees Papa Smurf focus most of his efforts on raising a hundred of Empath's fellow Smurfs instead of getting his [[spoiler:only biological]] son out of Psychelia. Interestingly, most of Empath's fellow Smurfs feel that of themselves whenever Empath comes home for a visit, particularly Hefty.

* UnPerson: Empath's status in Psychelia as well as Polaris' when they were separately exiled. The Psyche Master, however, considers Empath to be more The Prodigal Son.
** By contrast, Empath was never unpersoned among the Smurfs, but given what stories from the cartoon show took place in this series, he is hardly ever mentioned by his fellow Smurfs whenever he is away in Psychelia.
* UnusualEuphemism: "Getting under one's hat" is one that the Smurfs use for sex, while "the Smurfette dream" is one for NocturnalEmission.

* UterineReplicator: The Psyches are produced through these.

* ValentinesDayEpisode: Two of them in the series so far -- "Hefty, The Luckiest Smurf" and "My Unsmurfy Valentine".

* VirginVision: Duncan [=McSmurf=] is able to tell if a fellow Smurf had "[[NocturnalEmission the Smurfette dream]]" just by smell alone in "I Dream Of Smurfette".

* WalkingShirtlessScene: Again, most of the male Smurfs, including Empath during his early visits. Averted with Tapper, Narrator, Empath in later stories, and several other Smurfs. Notably Empath and Smurfette make a big deal about this.
* WalkingTheEarth: What "Smurfed Behind: The Departure" would have led Empath and Polaris Psyche into doing while the other Smurfs were traveling through time (as they did in ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981'' Season 9 episodes).
* WarGod: Ares is one in this series. For some reason he wants Empath to be his "god of conquest".

* WeCanRuleTogether: In "The Exile From Psychelia", Empath learns that the Psyche Master has been grooming him to be his successor and is hoping that he would someday forsake the Smurf way of living and embrace becoming the next Psyche Master. Empath refuses the Psyche Master's offer.

* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Really, in this series it's the parents that give the Smurfs their names, which makes you wonder.
* WhoopeeCushion: Polaris Psyche becomes the victim of one placed by Jokey's "resurrected" father in the story "Days Of Auld Lang Smurf".

* WretchedHive: The Psyche Master's view of Smurf culture, in a nutshell.
* YearZero: Empath's 150th birthday is considered the marker for this series.

* YoureJustJealous: Smurfette pulls this on Empath a few times -- once in the main timeline as a joke when Papa Smurf starts showing some amorous interest in Smurfette for the first time since "Romeo And Smurfette", and another time in an alternate timeline when Smurfette is actually in a relationship with Papa Smurf that results in a marriage, only this time she wasn't joking.
* YourFavorite: In one of the mini-stories, Hefty's favorite Christmas food is fruitcake...a carry-over from ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfsAChristmasCarol''.

* HulaAndLuaus: Despite being set in medieval Europe, "Virtual Smurfality" has the initial beach setting in the Imaginarium full of [[KissMeImVirtual virtual Smurfettes]] wearing floral wreaths and doing dances similar to the hula.

%%* SilverFox: In "Empath's Wedding", Flowerbell is still commenting on Papa Smurf's looks like this.

* EverybodyMustGetStoned: The Smurfs eating smurfnip-laced smurfberries in "Smurfnip Madness", with one of the Smurfs actually singing a Smurf version of a Music/BobDylan [[RefrainFromAssuming song]].

* GriefInducedSplit: In the novel, Papa Smurf sent [[spoiler:his infant son]] Empath to be raised in Psychelia for fear that the other Smurfs would treat him badly because of his psychic powers. Empath's mother, however, left Papa Smurf [[spoiler:following their son's "death."]]

* GriefInducedSplit: Papa Smurf sent his infant son Empath to be raised in Psychelia for fear that the other Smurfs would treat him badly because of his psychic powers. Empath's mother, however, left Papa Smurf following their son's "death."
