In This World and the Next/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


YMMV tropes in In This World and the Next include:

  • Complete Monster: The entire wizarding world in the original timeline.
  • Critical Research Failure: No, you can't change someone's gender identity with a Groin Attack.
  • Designated Hero: Harry, arguably. In the new timeline, he destroys the Weasleys' lives for things they haven't actually done yet (including feeding Percy to Fluffy and rendering Ron sterile and unable to perform magic) and sees nothing wrong with doing so. Hermione, at least, does show a little angst and remorse. Very little.
  • Die for Our Ship: The reason this was written.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Ron losing his genitalia is for the best. Or, in other words, they hate that he has a cock.
  • Mary Sue and Gary Stu: Harry and Hermione in the new timeline.
  • Ron the Death Eater: Apparently, he's worse than the actual Death Eaters. Despite being a "shit wizard". So are the other Weasleys and Dumbledore.
  • Unfortunate Implications: Despite being a "shit wizard", Ron is able to overpower Hermione, who's powerful enough to destroy the Dementor as it feeds on her, for what seems to be no other reason than that he's a boy and she's a girl. Also, becoming a girl (which a sufficiently powerful Groin Attack can do, an unfortunate implication in its own right) means that he won't become a rapist because apparently female rapists don't exist.
    • There's also the fact that for all the talk about her being a smart and strong witch, Hermione defers to Harry on most things, and whenever she starts questioning the morality of what they're doing, Harry is quickly able to talk her round to his way of thinking.
