History Fanfic / OurEternityTogether

** Mystic gives an homage to an iconic Website/{{Vine}} in the chase scene of ''Our Eternity Together'' with the line "Sike! It's a fake-out. You were fooled! Ha ha ha ha!"

* DidYouJustRomanceCthulu?: Mystic's the target of the Cursed God's affections. The Cursed God is an EldritchAbomination.

** Arguably, Mystic constantly blacking out could be considered one.

* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: The Cursed God, Gautier, Asaph, and Kerrie to Mystic and Anubis to Chiaki. Also Lennan to Alison, as well as Horace to Genevieve and, arguably, to [[spoiler:Alice and Mystic]].
* BerserkButton: Lowkey, and sometimes not-so-lowkey, for Mystic. Almost any time a character infantilizes and/or underestimates her.

* TheCutie: Rosanna Pansino from the source material is the main one. Mystic has her moments, though. So do Alice and Envy. Anya also has those moments as well as Sugarbelle Hollyheart.

* Fainting: Happens to Mystic so often that the author's struggling to come up with new ways to say she faints unconscious.

** A few of the characters seem [[MediumAwareness aware of the fact that they're in a story]].

* TheVirus: [[spoiler:The water supply in the Sanctuary by an unknown traitor.]]

* AxCrazy: [[spoiler:Safiya.]] Right at the finale.

* ShoutOut: A classic "Here's Johnny" nod after [[spoiler:Safiya goes fully-batshit crazy]].

* DoubleMeaning: Also has a hidden innuendo; Nikita when the group tries to get into the opera house using fake French names, hers being [[spoiler: Mademoiselle Philomène Ulysse Sylvaine Sévérine Yverneau]].

* HoldingTheFloor: Adeline when the rest of the group asks to look inside of the opera house for Mystic.

* KillTheLights: After the performance of "The Mystery of Edwin Drood," the theatre ghost does this [[spoiler:in order to kidnap Mystic]].

* ThePrimaDonna: Manon Charbonneau, in both attitude and occupation.

* FreakOut: [[spoiler:Candy Pop, resulting in Mystic almost getting taken by the Cursed God, Safiya and Nora getting taken by the Cursed God, and the deaths of Arya and Celeste]].

* HolyBurnsEvil: Not seen in the story, but Mystic finds out that one of Candy Pop's gifts for her burned him. [[spoiler:The present was a wrapped Bible and the wounds were technically self-inflicted]]

* WhatDoesThisButtonDo: Mystic after [[spoiler:she's taken back to the hotel after the Angel Bath]]. She runs around touching everything and asking "What's this do? What's that do?"

* ChristmasEpisode: It's right in the title.

* CrapsaccharineWorld: Pretty obvious considering Mystic [[spoiler:was under the influence of the Cursed God's spell and it took control of Alice and Ro as well]].

* LotusEaterMachine: Not a machine, but the Christmas World it takes place in is arguably lotus-eater material.
* SickeninglySweet: Most of the installment is described by the author as "a Hallmark movie on steroids" with "cavity-inducing fluff." However there are several moments where this REALLY sticks out.

** The petnames that the king and queen use, especially for each other, such as "my studdy-wuddy muffin puppy pony pudding pie of wove,"

* LoveInterestTraitor: [[spoiler:Alison near the end of The Chocolate Caper, when she agrees to marry Lennan and prepares to kiss him, only to bite him at the last second so he’d die of blood loss. Unfortunately it was a necessary betrayal as his life was connected to the magic that was placed on Mystic, Alice, Stella, and Ro as well as the whole factory.]]

* InterruptedDeclarationOfLove: Happens to [[spoiler:Envy]] twice.

* CameFromTheSky: Orpheus, literally.

* TheCameo: The Scooby-Doo Gang during the chase in Chapter 2.

* ShoutOut: Rene and Wynter on the truck after the group is [[spoiler:captured by the Chief of Po-Lucy]] give their rendition of the "Travel Song" from "Dora the Explorer."

* BigWHAT: Mystic to Envy after she finds out about [[spoiler:him wanting to make a token tracker. She ends up going off on him.]]

* ChristmasEpisode: It's right in the title.

* TheCutie: This is the installment where we're first introduced to Sugarbelle Hollyheart, a six-year-old elf who is moderately autistic. We find out in a flashback that when she first arrived at the North Pole, she tried to befriend the other elves, but [[spoiler:a good majority of them are cruel behind her back]].

* Catchphrase: Carol Dontchaknow's own last name. It gets annoying after the first time she says it, trust me.

* Cult: Turns out to be [[spoiler:an apocalypse cult, as Emmy and the Robed Fucks turn into giant bird creatures who will bring about armageddon if they don't hear the Goddess Reincarnation sing every so often.]]

* HumanSacrifice: [[spoiler:Two are made to bring back two they lost.]]

* PleaseIWillDoAnything: Not exactly said this way, but [[spoiler:Delta]] basically implies this after she sees [[spoiler:her OCs Dawn and Benny being tortured by Junko.]]

* TalkingAnimal: Jasmine the Bengal Tiger Cub.

* BravingTheBlizzard: Delta and Jasmine in Chapter 4, literally.
* TheDitz: Averted with Esme, as she's more just boy-obsessed and giggly, maybe also hyperactive, but mostly boy-obsessed. Not just with seducing them, but also [[spoiler:eating them immediately afterwards.]]

* DramaQueen: Played straight with Emmy, after discovering that [[spoiler:Mystic is missing]].

* ForbiddenZone: The Basement of the Shadowmend Sisters' house.

* ShoutOut: Mystic saying "this is all just a bunch of hocus pocus.....right?" just before lighting the candle.

* WeddingSmashers: [[spoiler:Anya and Erik Malinovsky in order to find Mystic.]]

* AmIJustAToyToYou?: [[spoiler:Delta after discovering Delilah's love shown towards her was just a ploy to get to Mystic. Unfortunately this was expected to Delta, but still a stab in the heart]].

* BerserkButton: NEVER say that Mystic [[spoiler:doesn't care about anyone except for herself]] EVER, especially not while she's around. She basically goes off physically and verbally on [[spoiler:Gabbie]] when the latter says this.

* ChristmasEpisode: Also right in the title.

* TargetedHumanSacrifice: [[spoiler:Gabbie]] is drawn from the deck of voting cards to [[spoiler:be fed to Delilah Fletcher]] after she suddenly starts going chaotic and blaming Mystic for getting them into this. Also yelling at [[spoiler:Rosanna]] likely made matters worse.

* TheMaze: Twelve people have to rush into a labyrinth to get the token piece, each person facing their own obstacles, [[spoiler:along with three of them being killed]].

* AccidentalMurder: Andrea R. because she seems to [[spoiler:get briefly possessed by some strange force when a Puritan guy cuts his finger trying to chop up vegetables for her.]]

* FireOfComfort: Right when Mystic wakes up in Chapter 1.

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/series/1337809 Our Eternity Together]]'' by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/ETNMystic/pseuds/ETNMystic ETNMystic]] is an ''WebVideo/EscapeTheNight'' FanFic series chronicling the events of Mystic’s journey to destroy the Cursed God as well as figure out how to face her own internal struggles.

-------

!! The series in general provides examples of:

* AbductionIsLove: The Cursed God’s main goal is to kidnap Mystic to get her to fall in love with him. He’s often accompanied by or sends minions of sorts to do the job for him.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: Pops up quite a few times in the series.

* ChaseScene: Multiple times.

* TheCutie: Rosanna Pansino is the main one. Mystic has her moments, though. So do Alice and Envy. Anya also has those moments as well as Sugarbelle Hollyheart.

* DidYouJustRomanceCthulu?: Mystic's the target of the Cursed God's affections. The Cursed God is an eldritch abomination.

** A few of the characters seem aware of the fact that they’re in a story.

* MentalWorld: Mystic’s gone to her mindscape a few times after she’s been knocked out.

** Mystic’s reply to the question “Going somewhere?” being “Hell, probably.”

** The characters seem to be aware that they’re in a story, followed with Dooper replying with something along the lines of “What kind of drugs are you on? And where can I get some?”

** Arguably Mystic constantly blacking out could be considered one.

** Mystic gives an homage to an iconic vine in the chase scene of Our Eternity Together with the line “Sike! It’s a fake-out. You were fooled! Ha ha ha ha!”

** Another vine homage from Mystic during the same chase scene: "Try Me, Bitch!"

** A Victorian Christmas has nods to ''' Theatre/TheNutcracker ''', including the musical number in the story, the destined transformations of [[spoiler:Safiya, Nora, Genevieve, Envy, and Candy Pop, which they escape]], the referenced background music, even the [[spoiler:death challenge itself]] is themed around it.

** Mystic again in The Chocolate Caper, this time giving reference to the song Circus by Britney Spears to confuse Envy, and ending it with “It’s Mystic, bitch!”

** Mystic, in A Mystical Christmastime, gives a nod to the song "Drama Club" by Melanie Martinez.

* TermsOfEndangerment: It seems that almost every villain has a pet name for our protagonist. The Cursed God, Horace, Circe, Gautier, Cecelia, almost everyone has called her something along the lines of "dear," "darling," "sweetheart," etc,. There are a few exceptions, however, including [[spoiler:Carol Dontchaknow]].

* BalefulPolymorph: Happens to both [[spoiler:Chiaki and Corbin]].
