''[[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/to-rule-them-all-a-lord-of-the-rings-isot.411863/ To Rule Them All: A Lord of the Rings ISOT]]'' is a ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' fanfic written by Severak, first appearing on {{Website/AlternateHistoryDotCom}}, later being cross-posted to {{Website/SpaceBattles}} [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/to-rule-them-all-lord-of-the-rings-and-1200-ad-europe.514036/ here]] (as well as Spacebattles' sister site Sufficent Velocity [[https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/to-rule-them-all-lord-of-the-rings-and-1200-ad-europe.46586/ here]]), {{Website/FanfictionDotNet}} [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12690966/1/To-Rule-Them-All/ here]] and {{Website/ArchiveofOurOwn}} [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/12497936/chapters/28453596 here]]. It is a reboot of a classic AH.com thread (found [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/mordor-isengard-misty-mountains-isoted-to-medieval-europe.198299/ Here]]). Unfortunately, that version of story was never completed, becoming a DeadFic in 2012. Five years later, a writing challenge was posted on Alternate History to reboot the story, resulting in the new version, which was launched on March 12, 2017.

* RiskingTheKing: King Emeric of Hungary, Grand Prince Rurik of Kiev and Count Thomas of Savoy all lead personal expeditions into the ISOTed lands that appear near their realms. It works out differently for all three of them.

* ShoutOut: {{Myth/RobinHood}} gets a reference from John of England when the latter is complaining about disloyalty among his subjects.
** {{Myth/KingArthur}} is also brought up several times later in the same scene.

* OneSteveLimit: Averted. There are two Philips and two Conrads. Played With by Stefan of Serbia's father Stefan Nemanja: said father is referred to by his monastic name of "Simeon" more often than not, and he dies of old age at the end of his introductory scene.

* ShoutOut:{{Myth/RobinHood}} gets a BlinkAndYoullMissIt reference from John of England.

* DreamingOfThingsToCome: Used thrice so far: [[ChurchMilitant Pope Innocent III]] is given a vision by [[BigGood Eru/God]] that Foreshadows much of the plot. Likewise, the canonical Mirror of Galadriel is used to show glimpses of coming events. Played With by the vision given to Konchek of the Cumans, which serves more a as a general warning, and doesn't show the future, instead showing him the events currently unfolding in Poland and Hungary.

* OneSteveLimit: Averted. There are two Philips and two Conrads. Also, Stefan of Serbia's father is also named Stefan, although said father has only been mentioned in passing.

** In "Arise from Slumber," Nienna and a figure implied to be Vaire appear to [[spoiler: Maglor]] and John of England respectively.

** A figure implied to be Vaire gives a ''scathing'' one to John of England. Played With later in the same chapter by [[spoiler: Maglor]], who gives ''himself'' a "Reason '''I''' Suck" speech.

** A figure implied to be Vaire gives a ''scathing'' one to John of England.

* DivineIntervention: Eru/God is a lot more open about this than they are in canon. It's heavily implied several times that they are actively working to make sure several people are in the right place, such as Dominic going to Thranduil and Gandalf making it to Rome. Similarly, a woman that is all but stated to be [[MotherNature Yavanna]] appears to Konchek of the Cumans to warn him about Sauron's spreading influence.
