History Fanfic / GracefulDegradation

* BadassAdorable: Nanoha and Fate, even more than in canon.
* BadassFamily: The Takamachi family, who else?

* BrokenBird: Megane has not had an easy life and the only reason she hasn't completely shut down is because she uses work to distract herself from her pain and it is indicated that she was on the verge of becoming an alcoholic before she found out she was pregnant and stopped drinking. Quint and Zest also act as her lifeline, accompanying her to her therapy sessions and generally being there for her.

* DarkerAndEdgier

* EvilMatriarch: Precia, even more so than in canon.

* {{Tsundere}}: Arisa. It's even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Suzuka.

* EvilMatriarch: Precia, [[UpToEleven even more so than in canon]].

* UpToEleven: [[spoiler: Star Breaker Supernova is ''orders of magnitude'' more powerful than Starlight Breaker. It requires a ten-minute charge time, a special barrier jacket form to maximize Nanoha's magic collection range, and the strain of actually ''casting'' the thing would probably have killed Nanoha if Shamal hadn't been immediately at hand afterwards, but the end result is a spell equal in power to a shot from an ''Arc en Ciel''.]]

* IAintGotTimeToBleed: Nanoha, in Chapter 5 plays off her injuries and the pain she is suffering as less severe than it actually is. Admittedly, she would not necessarily ''know'' the symptoms of [[spoiler: cardiac arrhythmia, a.k.a. a heart attack]], but she was clearly in pain and already seriously injured.

** [[{{LampshadeHanging}} Lampshaded]] by Yuuno and Arf in regards to the precautions Precia has taken.
** [[{{LampshadeHanging}} Lampshaded]] by Due when she mentions that it is not paranoia when there are people out to get you, in reference to Precia's security measures and data encryption.

** There's also one to ''Fanfic/GameTheoryFanFic'' when Uno notes that Precia, if she survived, would do everything she can to avoid being found by the TSAB.

* CombatPragmatist: Shiro Takamachi gets the Wolkenritter to stand down by being GenreSavvy enough to recognize that they are essentially Hayate's bodyguards and so [[spoiler: holds a sword to her throat]].

* WorldWreckingWave: Precia's little stunt throws one right at the Earth. Nanoha, Yuuno, Fate, and Arf barely manage to prevent it from destroying the Earth, but it has some effects on the rest of the solar system.

* BeyondTheImpossible: [[spoiler: Star Breaker Supernova is ''orders of magnitude'' more powerful than Starlight Breaker. It requires a ten-minute charge time, a special barrier jacket form to maximize Nanoha's magic collection range, and the strain of actually ''casting'' the thing would probably have killed Nanoha if Shamal hadn't been immediately at hand afterwards, but the end result is a spell equal in power to a shot from an ''Arc en Ciel''.]]

The series can be found on Fanfiction.net [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7611727/1/Graceful-Degradation here]] Appears to be a DeadFic, as the last update was in 2013.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Precia takes a lot more precautions this time around.

** The Takamachi Family. Justified to a degree given the family's past, which the author drew from TriangleHeart3 to flesh out.

* MadScientist: Jail, naturally.
* MightyGlacier: Nanoha, during her fight with Precia, though as with canon, she is a bit of a subversion, as she is ''not'' slow.

** There's also one to [[Fanfic/GameTheory Game Theory]] when Uno notes that Precia, if she survived, would do everything she can to avoid being found by the TSAB.

* JustifiedParanoia: The Wolkenritter are bodyguards to the master of the Book of Darkness. It also doesn't help that Shirou Takamachi reminded them that someone does not need magic to slip past their guard.

* ProperlyParanoid: [[{{LampshadeHanging}} Lampshaded]] by Yuuno and Arf in regards to the precautions Precia has taken.

** Also lampshaded at one point, when Kyouya notes the tendency of the Japanese to keep such things "in-house" as much as possible (in spite of the known fact that it ''doesn't help''.)

* StoneWall: Yuuno.
