History Fanfic / Eternity

''Eternity'' is a VideoGame/KantaiCollection fanfic written by Sheo Darren, set in an alternate Earth, where the naval portion of World War II went a little differently. One of these small, but major changes occurred in 1945 when a raid on Kure by USS Enterprise and others managed to damage Yamato's engines, preventing her from participating in Operation Ten-Go, with Nagato taking her place. Despite the attempts to scuttle her, she was captured by the Americans, and General [=MacArthur=] took a liking to her.

** 1957: Fleet Admiral Halsey calls [=MacArthur=] to offer a quid pro quo: [=MacArthur=] wants to keep Yamato as an American war prize, Halsey wants to keep Enterprise from being scrapped. Halsey lends his support to [=MacArthur=]'s efforts to retain Yamato in US service, in exchange for [=MacArthur=] convincing the nascent [[KaijuDefenseForce JMSDF]] to purchase Enterprise as their flagship. Both ships receive refits and serve for decades with their new navies.

* FeeFiFauxPas: Hiei and to much lesser extent Kirishima tend to have their tongues slip and call their little sister Kongou as their ''elder'' sister, much to Kongou's ire. Made worse that Hiei did this during their first meeting. Haruna is the only one that has avoided doing it so far

* DividedWeFall: For the most part, Allied and Axis shipgirls do not work well with each other, if at all, along with other conflicts such as French and Italian shipgirls not liking their British and German counterparts respectively due to scorched earth operations enacted upon them when they surrendered during WW2. One of the few exceptions to this are Arizona, the Battleship Row martyr who forgiven her attackers, Bismarck and Hood, who were on the both sides of the war, and the post-WW2 Cold Warriors.

* ScienceCannotComprehendPhlebotinum: The Abyssals cannot comprehend anything magical or spiritual, for example while they know that the Original Hulls weakens the Ship Girls based on them, they have no idea why, nor they are aware of the Sirens that are chained to the pre-WW2 Original Hulls.

* DeathSeeker: Inazuma seeks out Ferocious Mako so that the latter will kill her and leave Sasebo alone as her revenge is satisfied (or so she believes). Inazuma also believes she deserves to die for ramming Miyuki in 1934.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Yonaga sees her time as Enterprise as something which she has to suprass for the benefit of herself and others.

* ThatCameOutWrong: When comforting Hood about future battles with the British ships, Bismarck said that she will make them take their focus from Hood and transfer it on herself by flaunting her victory over Hood...in a way that makes Hood's boilers overheat, to Bismarck's confusion:
