History Fanfic / WhatTomorrowBrings

* HellYesMoment: In chapter 6, Temrash 114 tries to lure Jake into the Sharing despite Tom's constant pleas... But it turns out the other Animorphs are waiting in the house to capture them, much to Tom's delight.

* HelplessObserverProtagonist: Chapter 6 is told from the perspective of Tom, who's used to being helpless as Temrash 114 mercilessly tortures him. Fortunately, he gets better at the end.

* MindRape: Temrash 114 plunges deep into Tom's memories and sets off his pain and pleasure receptors for his own amusement. Feriss did this a lot in the original timeline.

* OhCrap: Tom is worried when he learns that Jake is missing, but the gravity of the situation really hits him when Marco calls him in the middle of the night without speaking in code.

* WhamEpisode: Chapter 6 reveals that Tom was sent back along with the Animorphs.

* RightForTheWrongReasons: When Tobias introduces himself as Elfangor's son, Tom and Temrash assume that Tobias's obvious discomfort in human form, such as often turning his head to look at the other in different ways, is the sign of an Andalite unused to a human morph, as opposed to Tobias's long time as a hawk leaving him still unused to human body language.

* FeeFiFauxPas: Tom mentions that Feris 512 was forced to learn Andalite body language while he worked under Visser Three. When Tom meets the other Andalites, he tries to bow at them in a way that looks deferential, but Elfangor tells him that it's three hundred years out of date.

* GoodIsNotNice: One of the Chee expresses full agreement when asked [[spoiler:to create a miniature Yeerk pool to contain any potential time-travelling Yeerks]], observing that just because she's programmed for pacifism doesn't mean that she has to be nice to slavers.

* HumanityEnsues: [[spoiler:Aftran is briefly sent to the splinter universe in a human form so she can talk to Cassie.]]

* NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler:Ax and Tobias go on a mission to rescue Elfangor, who took Ax's place on the Dome Ship... and it turns out that he detonated it so it wouldn't fall into Yeerk hands, leaving no body behind. Tobias is frustrated about the lack of closure, but it's revealed a few chapters later that Elfangor is still alive.]]

* WeNeedADistraction: Marco distracts the Controller guarding the Dapsen Lumber company by being really annoying so Ax can sneak into the cabin as a squirrel.

** Ax and Cassie hear about a blonde girl who fought Controllers with her bare hands, and an "Andalite bandit" in raptor morph who was captured by Yeerks, and immediately assume they were Rachel and Tobias. In reality, they were [[spoiler:Loren and Jake. A few chapters later, when Visser Three realises there's a morpher on the Pool Ship, he immediately assumes it's Elfangor (instead of Jake) because he doesn't know about the "bandits".]]

* HellYesMoment: In chapter Temrash 114 tries to lure Jake into the Sharing despite Tom's constant pleas... But it turns out the other Animorphs are waiting in the house to capture them, much to Tom's delight.

* NamedByTheAdaptation: Tom's second Yeerk is called Feriss 512 here. On a more minor note, the tiger Jake acquired is revealed to be named Arthur, with all the Gardens' big cats named after figured from Arthurian myth.

* EntertaininglyWrong: When Tobias introduces himself as Elfangor's son, Tom - under Temrash's control - assumes that Tobias is a real Andalite who's been living on Earth in secret and was the actual leader of the Animorphs.

* LetsSplitUpGang: After the Ellimist's visit, the group splits up. Ax and Tobias look for Elfangor, Jake and Cassie spy on the EGS tower, and Marco and Tom contact a spy for the Yeerks.

* MindRape: Temrash 114 plunges deep into Tom's memories and sets off his pain and pleasure receptors for his own amusement.

* AlienCatnip: Andalites apparently get high on protein powder.

* BigDamnReunion: The Animorphs get this when Tobias reveals that it was Ax in the Andalite fighter rather than Elfangor, the rest of the team making it clear that Ax can't get out of the subsequent group hug. Later, Tom hugs Rachel as soon as he's freed, then Jake starts crying.
