History Fanfic / WorldWarEtheria

** [[spoiler:Entrapta's hair is explicitly a cybernetic enhancement here, where previously it was a debate among lpthe Crew-Ra about whether it was magic or science.]]

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: All over the place, as a general rule people's relationships are advanced along the way. Adora and Catra are explicitly Shadow Weaver's adoptive daughters, even if she offloaded much of their care. Mermista and Sea Hawk are married and expecting their first child. Catra and Scorpia have an actual physical relationship. Double Trouble gets more character development. Kyle, Lonnie, and Rogelio are a known triang relationship. Bow's dads already know and accept his militancy, Castaspella is Micah's ''older'' sister, Angella is Spinarella's godmother here, etc. This reshuffles the character dynamics and keeps it interesting.

** One example fresh off the bat is letting Adora go after the successful rescue mission of Bow and Glimmer means Catra gets CourtMartialed; has to explain her actions then gets busted down an officer grade.

** They first début in the RescueArc for Bow and Glimmer, comparable to Megafauna in [[ManEatingPlant size, form, and appetite]]. She starts making more and more as the war heats up.

Mainly a piece of RationalistFiction it will reward your thinking as the intelligent exploration of the War for Etheria gets you opening up web pages to check terms and grounding in real wars.

* NoBiochemicalBarriers[=/=]AlienFoodIsEdible: Justified since Prime specifically chooses hypoallergenic foods that Catra and Glimmer could safely eat.

* ShoutOut: Has [[ShoutOut/WorldWarEtheria it's own page]].

* ForcefulKiss: Glimmer kisses Adora at Mysticor, but misinterprets the situation and just makes things awkward between them.

* FlippingTheBird: One barkeep does this to Catra after she insults his establishment. [[spoiler: This is also the position that Catra's severed arm is locked in]].

* NoBiochemicalBarriers/AlienFoodIsEdible: Justified since Prime specifically chooses hypoallergenic foods that Catra and Glimmer could safely eat.

* MercyKill: What the mission to Krytis ends up being. [[spoiler: Instead of recruiting Melog, a being that's been alone for centuries, they help it die by destroying the Heart of Krytis. Which is the only reason it's still alive.]]

* BackFromTheDead:[[spoiler: Catra does this to Cometa, well She-Ra does the actual healing but Catra undoes the brain death.]]

* ShapeshifterIdentityCrisis: [[spoiler: {{Implied}} With the death of both his spouses the immortal Double Trouble abandons their identity and moves on. Never to be Double Trouble again. To be clear the being that called itself Double Trouble survives but the ''identity'' has been discarded.]]

* LandOfOneCity: HoneyDew is this given that it's less than a decade old, built over an existing city, and the capital of conquered territory taken by Sweet Bee.

** [[spoiler: In the extended epilogue cyborg tech becomes much more widespread, Entrapta goes through the full conversion procedure.]]

** DishingOutDirt: [[spoiler: What the Stone Heart gives to Huntara.]]

* TeleporterAccident: Just like in the show this is taken UpToEleven given the portal experiment. Justified though given it's already been explained that unreality fields can be used to create realistic illusions that can interact with reality. Those operate on a scale of .5 to 3.1 however, basically what is seen in the show with interactive holograms and full hallucinations. The breaching of the Despondos barrier makes for 11.5 unreality field.
