** [[UpToEleven Up to Eleven]] with the trolls, who were fused with their Doomed selves AND their Dancestors along with their thousands of Doomed selves. [[MindFuck Mind fuck ]] indeed.

* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: Chapter 28 which follows [[AffablyEvil Zhanna Cuffes,]] a blueblood and Descendant of the Overseer of the Empire slave trade.

* StealthPun: Occhio Mutare's first name means 'eye'. He's blind.
* StubbornMule: Just like her comic self, one of Jane's more obvious traits is her sheer stubbornness. While this does make her unwilling to give up it also means [[DevotedToYou she refuses point blank to accept any criticism about Gamzee,]] even reasoning that Equius and Nepeta may have deserved their deaths at his hands when she learns about it. She later punches Dave for bringing up Gamzee's murder of Terezi negatively at one point during the [[TimeSkip timeskip.]]

* ReincarnationRomance: Averted hard as Kanaya is incredibly pale towards Karkat just like her Ancestor and Dancestor were towards their respective Vantas and [[UnrequitedLoveLastsForever has been pale-pining for him for the last ten years]] after the end of SGRUB. However tragically this will never be reciprocated, since Karkat gained Kankri's immense hate for 'motherly' pale affections and while he does regard Kanaya as one of his dearest friends and closest advisers [[LetsJustBeFriends he will never get into a diamond]] with her due to that.

It was published on the 17 of July in 2014 and the author has typically updated once (or twice) a month since starting. However the author has gone temporarily on hiatus since the end of October in 2015, citing needing a break from the fic but she's assured readers that the work isn't abandoned and the current chapter she's working on will encompass all of Gamzee's time within the Church, essentially addressing the ten years between the conclusion of the Game and leading up to the subsequent invasion of Earth.

* Stripperiffic: Apparently many of the Church dress like this, with [[MarriedToTheJob Zhanna Cuffes]] even outright complaining about 'why do clowns have to dress so indecently'.

It also follows a slightly skewered version of the Pre-Retcon timeline, with [[ManipulativeBitch Aranea]] not making an appearance; Gamzee did steal the Ring of Life in this timeline but instead he gifted it to Calliope, who then confronted Caliborn and killed him in the ensuing fight, but died of her injuries soon after. Gamzee then returned and while Jake was using his Hope powers to KO [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Jade]], Gamzee managed to grab onto and subdue Jane however he was later kicked off her by Terezi like in the Retcon timeline and she killed Jake in the ensuing chaos (however like in the Pre-Retcon timeline he resurrected). This caused Gamzee to beat Terezi to death in retaliation before he restrained Jane again.

Then everything goes to smash on the tenth anniversary celebration of SBURB, when a horribly familiar space ship enters the Earth's atmosphere and, when Jane contacts her, turns out to be the [[AlphaBitch Condesce]] herself. After a blistering exchange between the two women, the Condesce gives the orders and the [[TheEmpire Alternian Empire]] invades Earth, thus beginning an all out war between the two species.

* BodyHorror: All of the helmsmen, who have had their bodies cannibalized by their wiring. Also the husks, who have all their limbs removed.

* CombatMedic: Jane is this, due to having mad healing skills and being one of the most hardiest combatants out of the SBURB crew.

* DeadGuyOnDisplay: When Vriska investigates a Carnival. She's rather [[EvenEvilHasStandards repulsed]] by the Bleeder Vats, and the sheer amount of dead bodies everywhere. This is a theme for the Church; whenever they show up, be prepared for gore and rampant corpse desecration.

* DreamingOfThingsToCome: Apparently happened a lot to Rose before the actual Invasion, due to her latent Seer abilities. In most cases her dreams and gut feelings resulted in things like building the mass underground cities for humanity and an alien invasion siren. All of her 'feelings' are spot on the money.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Surprisingly the Condesce, whose grief over the previous Grand Highblood's death in the Summoner's rebellion is what caused her to ban all adults from Alternia.

* FingerInTheMail: Terezi gets a nice one consisting of Vriska's severed arm via the clowns.

* IDieFree: The Observer, when she's killed.

--> This translates to 'Free, goodbye Mituna.'

* PutOnABus: The author got rid of Vriska fairly quickly, essentially adding a chapter simply to show how irrelevant she's become in the fic. The author outright admits to hating Vriska and wanting to get her out of the story as quickly as possible, and saying Vriska will never be important or relevant.

* RippleEffectProofMemory: Only the SBURB/SGRUB players, along with the resurrected guardians, remember the game.

* SoftSpokenSadist: Abutor Vulnus, who is the head [[NamesToRunAwayFromVeryFast Doctorturer]] of the Empire. He always remains calm and his voice has even been outright described as 'sweet'.

* StubbornMule: Just like her comic self, one of Jane's more obvious traits is her sheer stubbornness. While this does make her unwilling to give up it also means she refuses point blank to accept any criticism about Gamzee, even reasoning that Equius and Nepeta may have deserved their deaths at his hands when she learns about it. She even punches Dave for bringing up Gamzee's murder of Terezi negatively at one point during the [[TimeSkip timeskip.]]
* Stripperiffic: Apparently many of the Church dress like this, with [[MarriedToTheJob Zhanna Cuffes]] even outright complains why do clowns have to dress so 'indecently'.

* IronicNurseryTune: When Vriska is a prisoner Gamzee sings The Itsy-Bitsy Spider to her, while subjecting her to a [[MindRape Mind Rape.]]

* BrickJoke: A mild one in Chapter 8, when theContessaers are speculating if the Gamzee Jane encountered really is Gamzee from the game and Roxy makes a joke about him being the Gamzee from Turkey instead, referring to the fact 'Gamzee' means 'Dimple' in Turkish.

While the humans initially search the globe for the trolls they eventually come to the heartbreaking conclusion that SBURB restored them in their own reality/universe and they won't meet them again. Despite this, Jane sends Gamzee's inactive trollian handle a every day, then every week, then every month as the years roll by, giving him an update about what her family is accomplishing, including the fact all eight of the human godtiers still retain- more of less -their abilities, such as Jane still being a [[CombatMedic healer.]]

Then everything goes to smash on the tenth anniversary celebration of SBURB, when a horribly familiar space ship enters the Earth's atmosphere and, when Jane contacts her, turns out to be the Condesce herself. After a blistering exchange between the two women, the Condesce gives the orders and the [[TheEmpire Alternian Empire]] invades Earth, thus beginning an all out war between the two species.

There was also an independent fanfiction series called ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/series/203780 The conquering of Earth by an invading troll army]]'', written by [[http://archiveofourown.org/users/TheLadySyk0 TheLadySyk0]] which are all set within the WW universe.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: All the SBURB kids hold positions of immense authority in the affairs of humanity; Jane in particular is the CEO of Crocker Corp, which is a planet spanning super power. She's also currently shown as one of the most powerful of the SBURB players.

* Stripperiffic: Apparently many of the Church dress like this, with Zhanna Cuffes even outright wondering why clowns have to dress so 'indecently'.

* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Gamzee and Jane are this after the [[Timeskip timeskip.]] Gamzee is now fourteen feet tall, while Jane is little over six feet.

* Stripperiffic: Apparently many of the Church dress like this, with Zhanna Cuffes even outright wondering why clowns have to dress so 'indecently'.

It also follows a slightly skewered version of the Pre-[[Retcon Retcon]] timeline, with [[ManipulativeBitch Aranea]] not making an appearance; Gamzee did steal the Ring of Life in this timeline but instead he gifted it to Calliope, who then confronted Caliborn and killed him in the ensuing fight, but died of her injuries soon after. Gamzee then returned and while Jake was using his Hope powers to KO [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Jade]], Gamzee managed to grab onto and subdue Jane however he was later kicked off her by Terezi like in the Retcon timeline and she killed Jake in the ensuing chaos (however like in the Pre-Retcon timeline he resurrected). This caused Gamzee to beat Terezi to death in retaliation before he restrained Jane again.

* NoodleIncidient: Roxy wound up crashing a zeppelin into a pyramid at some point.

* EarthIsABattlefield: The entirety of humanity is swept up in the invasion, and thus the trolls are trying to kill humans where ever they can find them.
* EyeScream: Vriska is subject to one while Jane narrowly avoids this.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Surprisingly the Condesce, whose grief over the previous Grand Highblood's death in the Summoner's rebellion is what caused her to ban all adults from Alternia.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The Observer and though the author revealed that her name is actually Compes Lector, in universe everyone simply refers to her as 'the Observer'. Others include the Overseer who is, you guessed it, the overseer for the Empire slave trade. Same could be said for the Ancestors as a whole.
* AxCrazy: Pretty much the entirety of the Empire.
* BerserkButton: Insulting Gamzee within earshot of Jane is a sure way to draw her ire.

* CombatMedic: Jane is this, due to having mad healing skills and being one of the most powerful combatants out of the SBURB crew.

* FlashStep: Used by all the characters during fights.
* IronicNurseryTune: Gamzee starts singing the Itsy-Bitsy Spider to a captive Vriska.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Characters such as The Contessa

* SuperStrength: Jane, who was capable of getting into a fistfight with a blueblood on equal grounds. Jane was also confirmed as capable of beating John in fisticuffs, making her the most physically powerful out of the SBURB ground.

* WouldHitAGirl: Gamzee certainly doesn't hesitate to try and kill Jane when he first sees her after their ten years apart. Luckily he stops short of killing her, however.

* RebelLeader: Karkat and Feferi are this to the troll rebellion. Well, the rebels as a whole moreso think Karkat is, despite him insisting he and Feferi are equals

* StubbornMule: Just like her comic self, one of Jane's more obvious traits is her sheer stubbornness. While this does make her a [[Determinator determinator]] it also means she refuses point blank to accept any criticism about Gamzee, even speculating that Equius and Nepeta may have deserved their deaths at his hands when she learns about it. She even punches Dave for bringing up Gamzee's murder of Terezi negatively at one point during the [[TimeSkip timeskip.]]

* RebelLeader: Karkat and Feferi are this to the troll rebellion. Well, the rebels as a whole moreso think Karkat is, despite him insisting he and Feferi are equals.

* AndIMustScream: The helmsmen, being psionics who've been turned into living batteries while still being aware. Both Roxy and Jane was utterly disgusted when they [[spoiler: encounter the Observer,]] and in the Chapter 28 we're introduced to husks, who are portable psionics who've had their legs and arms completely removed, making them mobile power units.

--> Trapped inside her own head, Vriska screamed and screamed and screamed and no one cared enough to listen.

* DreamingOfThingsToCome: Apparently happened a lot to Rose before the actual Invasion, due to her latent Seer abilities. In most cases her dreams and gut feelings resulted in things like building the mass underground cities for humanity and an alien invasion siren. All of her 'feelings' are spot on the money.

This fic mainly features [[TheLeader Jane Crocker]] as the protagonist and follows the SBURB players experiences [[TimeSkip ten years]] after the end of the game. It also is based upon a romance between [[HardBoiledDetective Jane]] and [[FluffyTheTerrible Gamzee]], in which the two got [[InterspeciesRomance involved]] on Jane's birthday. The timeline is slightly shifted, with Jane's birthday being six months- instead of a year -from the start of her session of SBURB, which meant she was romantically involved with Gamzee for six months before the climax of SBURB.

!!>Tropes:

* ActionSurvivor: Every one of the SBURB survivors obviously. Also the Guardians have been through quite a lot and once the Alternian Invasion occurs the entirety of humanity becomes this.

* AloneWithThePsycho: Jane becomes this when she's[[spoiler: captured by the Empire in Chapter and left with the Doctorturer Abutor Vulnus. Naturally, he lives up to his job description.]]
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Vriska, in Chapter 17 when she's captured, mutilated and tortured by the Church until Gamzee successfully mentally breaks her. Of course, it's a bit hard to work up tears since she spent all her time after getting off planet trying to emulate Mindfang via constantly mindcontroling her whole crew and being a pirate slaver. However her genuine panic and hysterical screaming when Gamzee [[FateWorseThanDeath wraps her up in nothing but unending darkness.]] is pretty disturbing.]]

** [[spoiler: Another, more gruesome one happens in Chapter 16 when [[LifeOrLimbDecision Jane tears her own hand off]]; it's the left hand, which is the same as the one Gamzee is later revealed to have bit off of Karkat in Chapter 29, meaning two people Gamzee had previously been in quadrants with have lost the same hand in shenanigans relating to him.]]
* EyeScream: Vriska is subject to one.
* Ax-Crazy: Pretty much the entirety of the Empire.
* BeserkButton: Insulting Gamzee within earshot of Jane is a sure way to draw her ire.
* BodyHorror: All of the helmsmen, who have had their bodies cannibalized by their wiring. Also the husks, who have all their limbs removed. Also it's later revealed trolls have been skinning and scalping humans, and even making collections of our eyes.
