A [[The Multiverse|Multiverse]] [[Fanfic]] setting initially created by Diane Castle, but since transformed into a [[Shared Universe]] in the wake of a groundswell of [[Recursive Fanfiction]]
The Brane<ref>According to [[The Other Wiki]], a "brane" is, in advanced physics, "an extended object with any given number of dimensions, of which strings in string theory are examples with one dimension. Our universe is a 3-brane."</ref>, as it is called, first appeared in Castle's story ''The League of Extraordinary Women'' (published between November 2011 and April 2012). In it, [[Harry Potter|Hermione Granger]] summons [[Stargate SG-1|Samantha Carter]], [[Cat Tales|Selina Kyle]], [[The Bionic Woman|Jaime Sommers]], [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Buffy Summers and Willow Rosenberg]], and [[The Secret World of Alex Mack|Alex Mack]] from their home universes to help face the invasion of her version of Earth by an army of demons led by a demon princess named D'Lazza.

Line 66 ⟶ 78:
* [[Alternate Universe]]: A collection of them, in fact.
** Something seems to be using portals to gather up the various versions of Alex Mack from the universes that contributed to ''The League of Extraordinary Women'' (and anyone near them) at the beginning of ''The Secret Collocation of Alex Mack''.
* [[Beauty Is Never Tarnished]]/[[Bullet-Proof Fashion Plate]]: Originally demonstrated by Terawatt in ''The Secret Collocation of Alex Mack'' (and envied by some of the alternate Alexes). Eventually Stormburst (the Alexandra Mack of the DC universe) manages to master this to the point that the villains she fights notice.
* [[Conversational Troping]]: In ''The Secret Collocation of Alex Mack,'' Harry Dresden describes a tactic used by Terawatt and Stormburst as "[[Summon Bigger Fish]]", and actually makes a comment in his narration about explanations for the "trope-deficient".
* [[
* [[Crossover]]:
* [[Die Hard on an X]]:
▲* [[Crossover]]: In addition to the entire setting itself, most if not all of the individual worlds include crossover elements. Outside of [[The Teraverse]], which is a massive [[Mega Crossover]], most worlds seem to have counterparts to the characters from original core worlds from ''League'' -- in any Brane 'verse you are likely to have (or have had) an Alex Mack, a Selina Kyle, a Hermione Granger, a Buffy (or Liz, or Elizabeth) Summers, a Willow Rosenberg and a Sam Carter, along with most of the people associated with them. (See ''In Spite of a Nail'', below.) They're also likely to have some form of [[The Dresden Files|Harry Dresden]], although Dresdens are far more mutable and there's no guarantee he (or she) will be immediately recognizable as such. In addition, the Brane!Buffyverse is also home to the godlike witches and warlocks of ''[[Bewitched]]''.
* [[God Guise]]:
* [[In Spite of a Nail]]:
▲* [[Die Hard on an X]]: The Steelverse story ''Die Hard, Extreme Sports Edition'', makes it clear from its very title that it's an instance of this trope.
▲* [[God Guise]]: Alexandra Mack of the ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' universe has to do this several times with the help of a friendly Tok'ra.
▲* [[In Spite of a Nail]]: Despite widely varying histories (and even different physical laws), the universes in the Brane all have remarkable parallels -- starting with Alex Mack herself. (See ''Crossover'', above.) This is true to such a degree that the members of the League seek out the local counterparts to their teammates when they get home, and in ''Collocation'' trade ''extensive'' lists of "people of interest":
{{quote|Rashid grimly said, “Alessandro Armata.”
“That greasy bald bastard?” Ebenezar cursed.
Line 83 ⟶ 90:
Alexa cut in, “Lex Luthor! Alee said he's one of the biggest supervillains in her universe!” She glanced over at Rashid. “Did I get the name right?”
Rashid nodded gravely. “And not just that universe. Every one of our interdimensional Alexas has an analogue with a name like 'Alexander' and a surname that means 'army' or 'army of the people'. Which seems... insane.”}}
* [[Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex]]:
* [[Maximum Fun Chamber]]:
▲* [[Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex]]: An expectation that this trope would apply to the trope namer is the reason a villain in the DC Universe dismisses the possibility that Superman and Lois Lane have a physical relationship.
▲* [[Maximum Fun Chamber]]: A Slayer training camp in the Brane!Buffyverse is known as "O'Neill Funtime Vacationland".
* [[The Multiverse]]
* [[Mundane Utility]]: In chapter 117 of ''Cross Purposes 2'', the Young Justice team of the DC Universe gets roped into helping rebuild Jack O'Neill's cabin, and they use their powers to make the job faster and easier.
* [[Plot Armor]]: Averted in ''[https://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-32793/CaptainBoulanger+STORMBURST+4+Surface+Tension.htm STORMBURST #4: Surface Tension]'', when Stormburst sustains a minor injury... and then meets her dimension's version of one of the Teraverse heroes while seeking treatment.
* [[Recursive Fanfiction]]: Not only did the Brane expand by inspiring other authors to write within its setting, it itself is recursive fic, as the version of Selina "Catwoman" Kyle it uses is not the canon version direct from the pages of ''[[Batman]]'' comics, but the version who appears in the ''[[Cat Tales]]'' fanfic series by Chris Dee.
* [[Roof Hopping]]: Aly Mack of the Bionicverse can do this if the local architecture cooperates, and uses it to get away from some unpleasantness in chapter 65 of ''Cross Purposes 2''.
* [[Stop Worshipping Me!]]: Alexandra Mack of the SG-1 verse has inadvertantly acquired a following among the Jaffa as the goddess "Alexandra the Great of the Tau'ri". She finds she has to emphasize that she is ''not'' a goddess and should not be worshiped every time she meets new Jaffa who revere her.
* [[Transferable Memory]]: In the Steelverse the identity of [[James Bond]] (and presumably the other "00" agents) [[Legacy Character|has been possessed by several generations of agents]] with the help of a device which imprints previous Bonds' memories upon a volunteer to be the next Bond.
