History Fanfic / LifeAfterDeathTrilogy

* CrossOver: Primarily Franchise/SpiderMan with ''Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream'', with dashes of various Marvel comics, the Literature/CalLeandros books, ''Series/{{Bones}}'', a brief mention of ''Series/DoctorWho'', as well as others. Note: This Robin is not the Robin of the Cal Leandros books.

* AnythingThatMoves: Robin, though she’s relatively quiet about it in comparison to Jack the Pook, Phil, who is a son of the god Pan, and her friend Tam.

* NiceHat: The fedora Otto wears during the bank heist in the film becomes a staple part of his outfit in the fic.

* AdultFear: Otto and Robin are terrified of things like losing Mouse to Child Services, being found by other supervillains, and being found by the government.

%% * DreamingOfThingsToCome: Robin gets a few, as well as some very BadDreams.

A fanfic cowritten by [=SilverGryphon8=] (also known as Obi's Second Cousin or Lady Holmes) and Gamine Madcap and illustrated by [=SilverGryphon8=].

The story is set in the Spiderman movieverse beginning roughly a year and a half after the events of the second film. Otto Octavius, having survived nearly drowning, is alive and well and in hiding with his intelligent actuators Flo, Mo, Larry, and Harry. He reluctantly befriends Mouse, a CuteMute of a little girl when she tries to use the warehouse Otto has been living in as a hideout from the druggies she is forced to share her home with. When Mouse arrives at the warehouse one day showing signs of a recent beating, Otto sets out to permanently deal with the problem. He meets [[Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream Robin Goodfellow]], who helps him and the actuators eradicate the group of druggies and proceeds to more or less adopt Mouse. The series then follows Otto and Robin’s growing romance, Mouse’s adjustment to a ‘normal’ (relatively) home, and the pesky little problem of people who keep trying to kill all three of them, while it crosses over with a variety of series.

Originally, the fanfic was planned as trilogy. The first part was rewritten several times.

* AbusiveParents: Torbert Octavius is abusive to his son Otto. There's a scene during which a momentary glimpse of Robin’s hobgoblin form triggers a flashback about Otto's father coming to beat him after having his glasses broken by school bullies one too many times that leaves Otto whimpering. Mary Octavius's manipulation of her son has flavors of this as well.

%% * AlliterativeName: It’s based off a Stan Lee creation- what do you expect?

* CrossOver: Primarily SpiderMan with ''Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream'', with dashes of various Marvel comics, the Literature/CalLeandros books, ''Series/{{Bones}}'', a brief mention of ''Series/DoctorWho'', as well as others. Note: This Robin is not the Robin of the Cal Leandros books.

* PettingZooPeople: Robin's friend Tamora 'Tam' Griffin, a shapeshifter who can change between griffin and humanoid forms. Her default form is human, with catlike eyes and ears, talons, and a lion-like tail.

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Robin, between her human and hobgoblin forms, Hob, and Tam.0

* MostFanficWritersAreGirls: True to form, the fic does center primarily on the dymanics between Otto, Robin, and Mouse. There are plenty of action scenes to spice things up however.

* NoPeriodsPeriod: Very much averted when [[spoiler: Robin becomes entirely human and experiences her first period, much to Otto’s discomfort]].
* NoPlansNoPrototypeNoBackup: Averted in the case of the fusion reactor and in the actuators- physically, at least. The actuators’ AI, on the other hand, is a straight example.

* NotSoImaginaryFriend: Robin speculates that Mouse’s imaginary friend, the invisible octopus Bob, could become this.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Robin, who at nearly three thousand looks to be in her early twenties or so, and the other faeries.
* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: Mostly averted- Otto’s stated specialties are nuclear fusion and mechanical engineering, though it is partially justified in that he’s a genius workaholic who has four sentient AI programs linked into his brain that like surfing the internet…
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: [[spoiler: Subverted with Hob]].
* OurFairiesAreDifferent: The Faeries, in particular the way changelings like Robin are handled. Also, the fact that Robin is, in this version, female and very ticked off that Shakespeare got her gender wrong.
* PapaWolf: Don’t threaten Mouse or Robin anywhere near Otto. Or the actuators. They’re worse than Otto himself is.
* ParentalAbandonment: Mouse’s mother pretty much lost any interest in Mouse after turning to drugs.
* ParentalSubstitute: Otto and Robin, to Mouse. She’s more attached to Otto though.
* PettingZooPeople: Robin’s friend Tamora ‘Tam’ Griffin, a shapeshifter who can change between griffin and humanoid forms. Her default form is human, with catlike eyes and ears, talons, and a lion-like tail.
* PhlebotinumHandlingEquipment: The original use for the actuators.
* ProfessorGuineaPig: Doctor Curt Connors/The Lizard. Otto forbids Curt from ever playing this role again.

* PuppyLove: Mouse and Billy Connors. WordOfGod indicates the authors haven’t yet decided if they’ll eventually become a couple or the PlatonicLifePartners.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Averted in Otto’s case and in Curt’s.
* ReluctantMadScientist: Otto becomes this after [[spoiler: earning a pardon and a position working for the government]]
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Almost guaranteed if someone tries to kidnap Mouse.
* RunningGag: Otto and his fondness for Oreos.

* ShutUpKiss: A couple of times.

* SpiritAdvisor: Rosie makes a few appearances as this.

* StarCrossedLovers: Otto and Robin nearly became these- he is a mortal, she is a faerie. [[spoiler: Then Robin decided to TakeAThirdOption]]

* TakeAThirdOption: [[spoiler: Robin gives up being a faerie to be with Otto. Normally, a changeling wanting to become human again would have their memories wiped to reduce the risk of madness; the third option comes in the form of a pendant that stores Robin’s ‘faerie-ness’ and gives her the opportunity to regain that state later on if mortality becomes too much for her]]
* TamponRun: Poor, poor Otto. And Peter, whom he runs into on said run.

* {{Technopath}}: Otto is a low-grade one of these, rather like a low-level [[Webcomic/GirlGenius Spark]]. He’s brilliant enough on his own to develop his inventions; his technopathy primarily manifests itself by making him unconsciously smooth out the little kinks in his design so that they actually ''work''.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Otto and the Oreos.
* TransformationTrinket: [[spoiler: Robin’s pendent that contains her faerie powers after she reverts to being human]]
* TheTrickster: Robin, primarily. Many other faeries are indicated to be examples of this. Also, Peter Parker/Spiderman, to a lesser extent.
* TropeOverdosed:
---> SilverGryphon8: Either we really, really like tropes, or [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife I’m just stupidly good at picking them out.]]
** As Gryphon is a troper, this is more likely the case.
* {{Unobtanium}}: The Adamantium used in the construction of the actuators. The ‘precious tritium’ used in the reactor is an example of ElementsDoNotWorkThatWay.
* UnstoppableRage: Robin and Otto, anytime something bad happens to one of their family members.

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Robin, between her human and hobgoblin forms, Hob, and Tam. Also, sort of, in the case of Curt Connors/Lizard
* WingedHumanoid: The Peris
* XanatosPileUp: The various people trying to kill Otto and Robin are part of a couple of these.

* FluffyTheTerrible: The actuators, four large, homicidal, and generally deadly AI-controlled tentacles, are named Flo, Mo, Larry, and Harry. It’s stated that Otto’s deceased wife Rosie named them. In fairness, the actuators are only dangerous around someone they don’t like, or towards any who threaten their people.

* TheGlomp: Mouse delivers many of these to Otto.

* {{Gorn}}: As a hobgoblin, Robin revels in this. Other hobgoblins are worse. Otto gets in a moment or two of this, most notably when he has an actuator stab a pedophile in the groin and leaves the man to bleed out.

* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: Otto, before he got to college and met Curt and Rosie.

* KidsAreCruel: Otto was bullied often as a child. Also, Mouse gets into some fights later on in Book III because of this.
* LargeHam: Otto has his moments. Others get into the act on occasion too.
* LickingTheBlade: Robin, though it’s more often Licking the Claw.
* LightningCanDoAnything: Used as a partial explanation for why the actuators are sentient. No one is sure where the snark came from.
* LikeASonToMe: Mouse to Otto [[spoiler: until he and Robin adopt her. Then she really is a daughter to him.]]
* LittleGirlsKickShins: Mouse can be just as vindictive as her adopted parents, as Peter will attest.
* MagicalGirlfriend: Robin.
* MamaBear: Robin. Don’t touch her mortals. In one instance, she tore open a man’s ribcage with her bare talons and left him to suffocate. That’s not counting the others she ripped to pieces- ''while reciting poetry''.

* MoralityPet: Mouse. Otto’s affection for her is really what cements him back on the ‘good’ side of things.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Otto

* MayflyDecemberRomance: Robin (nearly 3,000) and Otto (46)
