History Fanfic / FirebirdsSon

* ADateWithRosiePalms: There's a spell for masturbation that is taught to third years, with the goal of making the wizards less frustrated and thus less likely to fall for a bond.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Than the ''Harry Potter'' books. By a lot.

* TheyWouldCutYouUp: The Secret Services does this to witch-born they capture.

* PowerParasite: The bonds between magical couples are a one-way street in which magical power flows from a wizard to witches. Before the Saxons brought wands to Britain, it was wizards who bonded and stole the magic of witches through their staves.

* DirtyKid: The [[UpToEleven entire]] Hogwarts cast.

* DividedStatesOfAmerica: What in canon is MACUSA (which never existed here due to the fic being written before ''Fantastic Beasts'') is divided into two warring nations: the Western Confederation of America (or WestCons) and the East Confederation of America (or EastCons).

* VomitDiscretionShot: Adverted in chapter eight when a nervous Harry vomits on Angelina Johnson.

--> Where before stood three perfectly ordinary women now stood three otherworldly creatures with gleaming eyes and pale skin like right out of a bad fantasy novel. McGonagall and Sprout looked almost translucent, as if lit from within, while Hopkirk merely appeared pale.

* DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler:Seamus]] [[EvilIsPetty destroys Lily Potter's book]] about Aether magic after Harry's first Quidditch match ends with a Griffindor defeat.

* WitchSpecies: The Witch-born are noticeably different from Muggles, especially as [[TheFairFolk they get older]]. They can only crossbreed at a young age.

* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Charity Burbage is Dumbledore's daughter.

* RealityEnsues: Because most of Griffindor's best players left with Charlene Weasley the Quidditch Team is far more outmatched even without the Slytherin's poor sportsmanship.
** Harry catching the snitch is based on cunning and trickery rather than speed and he's not immune to deceived himself.
** The Salem's Institute's Quidditch team is made of AmazonBrigade DumbMuscle who, while having a good first hour, are defeated by the Hogwarts Dragons' greater agility and team play.

** The series more briefly takes aim at stories where the Muggle government intervenes in the magical world. The results are not quite on TheyWouldCutYouUp, but it's not far off, either.

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Sir Nicholas. In the books he was executed after a magical mishap caused a noble woman to grow [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily tusks]]. Here he was executed after supporting Pertin Warbeck, a pretender to the English throne.

** In the later stories, are you a Death Eater who isn't [[ReverseMole Snape]]? Then you're ''also'' competing with Umbridge.
