Line 8:
What follows is a story that manages to pull off being both hilarious and yet suitably dramatic, with equal parts action and humor (ocassionaly drawn from [[Character Exaggeration]] born from [[Memetic Mutation|memes]] and [[Mythology Gag|series in-jokes]])) and makes them ''work''. Even better, it features all the main characters from the first two seasons prominently, and gives them all chances to shine quite brilliantly; even a character or two from the third season get a cameo appearance. Can be found [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5144486/1/Infinity here].
Not to be confused with the tabletop wargame ''[[

Line 49:
* [[Completely Missing the Point]]: Signum, [[The Stoic|surprisingly]], is the biggest offender. There are stuff likes "capable of using sword with my left hand, so it's not a problem" when Hayate worries about her confition, and thinking about her sword sheathe when Fate worries (and awed about how non-chalantly she takes her injuries) about her condition.
* [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]]: Chrono is perfectly willing to send Arf to dog obedience school.
* [[Cosplay Otaku Girl]]: Amaterasu at times seems more interested in dressing up Nanoha than actually fighting her. For bonus points, her proposed costumes so far have all been [[Shout-Out|shout outs]] to [[
* [[Cybernetics Eat Your Soul]]: {{spoiler|The 'Black Cat' cyborgs are essentially people who have had so much of their body and brain replaced by machinery that they no longer have a human mind.}}
* [[Crippling Overspecialization]]: Yuuno's defenses prove completely inpenetrable to anything Tsukuyomi can throw at him (much like as against Vita, in the series), but his offensive abilites are too limited and weak to threaten her, either.
Line 119:
* [[Panty Shot]]: In chapter 22 (or 23 by FF.net's numbering), {{spoiler|Vita accidentally provides one for Susanoo. [[Hilarity Ensues]].}}
* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: In addition to the usual suspects, {{spoiler|Precia, whom shows that without the illness that plagued her in the series, is strong (and aggressive) enough to defeat ''Hayate''}}. Then {{spoiler|the artificial gods get their long-awaited power up and show us exactly why they were called gods}}.
* [[Playing
* {{spoiler|[[Psycho Electro]]: Precia's back}}
* [[Psycho Lesbian]]: Amaterasu seems to have focused her, ahem, [[Anything That Moves|intentions]] on Signum. During their battle in Chapter 22, she takes the battle seriously, almost decapitating Signum in her first attack; a few moments later, she tells Signum, "I won't rest until you acknowledge my feelings for you and agree to become my personal kitten!" Signum is '''not''' amused.
Line 128:
* [[Robo-Family]]: 1,800 year old artificial constructs calling each other 'brother' and 'sister' really can't be anything else.
* [[Sex Is Violence]]: If you're someone whose caught Amaterasu's eye, and the only way she'll encounter you is on the battlefield, well, she has no problem invoking this trope as a means of flirting.
* [[Shipper
{{quote| '''Susanoo''': ''She is ten years old!'' [[Squick|Don't project your perversions onto me, you sick freak!]]}}
* [[Ship Tease]]: Conspicuously and deliberately absent {{spoiler|until recently}}. The author has gone on record stating how amusing he finds the fact that there are so many people out there who spend so much of their time obsessing over the love lives of completely fictional characters.
Line 136:
* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]]: Some of the stuff Enlil does to Precia in Chapter 30 is just silly.
* [[Shock and Awe]]: Fate and Susanoo {{spoiler|and Precia}}.
* [[Shout-Out]]: One of Tsukuyomi's more powerful and intelligent summons is a serptine humanoid name [[Mai
* [[Spell My Name
* [[Spirited Competitor]]: Susanoo, who loves to fight, but finds it distasteful to actually ''hurt'' anyone, and is especially apologetic for having done so to {{spoiler|Hayate}}.
** Recent chapters appear to clarify that he doesn't really mind if he puts people in the hospital so long as he does it 'fairly'. His definition of the term, that is. The trope is also deconstructed somewhat in the shame, since while he's not nearly as bad as [[Blood Knight|Ammy]], he's still kind of a nut bar.
Line 143:
* [[Summon Magic]]: Tsukuyomi's final drive. Her specific summoned creature seems to be snakes.
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: One of Lindy's favourite quirks. These denials practically become [[Blatant Lies]] and [[Refuge in Audacity]] in recent chapters.
** No, Ammy, there's nothing weird. You just slipped on your foot because the floor is slippery and you accidentally hit your head, making you unconscious, that's all. {{spoiler|There's no one hitting you in the head with [[Frying Pan of Doom]].}} And no, Shiro is just your usual daddy baker. {{spoiler|There's no way [[Triangle Heart 3
* [[Tempting Fate]]: {{spoiler|Chrono at the end of chapter 5.}} The author also loves to let characters start enjoying peace, smooth sailing or a good mood, only to be utterly screwed next sentence. Or even in the same sentence.
{{quote| "Teleport functioning as expected, Admiral. Transmission away, and not a sign of interference from THOSE BASTARDS!" Amy suddenly shrieked. "How did they do that? How did they do that? I hate them I hate them I hate them!"}}
Line 150:
* [[The Chew Toy]]: Everyone really.
* [[The Dragon]]: {{spoiler|Precia, and she's not happy about it}}
** [[Dragon
*** {{spoiler|Seemingly averted as of Chapter 25. [[Batman Gambit|So]], [[One-Hit Kill|so]], [[Mama Bear|so hard]].}} Amaterasu might be a straighter, and more loyal, example.
* {{spoiler|[[The Starscream]]: Precia, possibly and likely}}.
