''[[Misfiled Dreams]]'' is an [[Alternate Continuity]]/[[Continuation]] [[Fanfic]] series by ShadowDragon8685 based in the ''[[Misfile]]''-verse exploring some of the plot lines and relationships not (yet?) taken or explored in the comic itself and exploring the gaps and logical conclusions left by [[Fridge Logic]].
Most [[There Is No Such Thing
Starting in September 2004 ([[Webcomic Time|the same period the comic was in at the time]]), Rumisiel has a very strange dream which shows a [[Nightmare Sequence|very different path]] reality could take if the Misfile was resolved. As he dreams, Ash and Emily take their relationship to new levels. This forms the basis of the first (and to date only [[Stand Alone Episode]]) episode ''Rumisiel's Lament''. The rest of the series explores the consequences of the actions and decisions made in that, and skips ahead of the comic to December 2004.
The tales so far are:

{{tropelist}}
* [[Abusive Parents]]: {{spoiler|Jenny Senior.}}
* [[All Just a Dream]]: {{spoiler|The ending of ''Rumisiel's Lament''. [[Word of God]] says it was just a dream.}}
Line 32 ⟶ 30:
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Jenny barely had much of a role in the comic, but she's a main character in the fic.
* [[Auto Erotica]]: "Somehow… I knew we’d wind up doing this in a car."
* [[Beauty, Brains, and Brawn]]: Jenny, Emily, and Ash, respectively, though Emily and Ash are no slouches in the beauty department as well (see pic above).
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Rock, in ''After the Dream''.
* [[Bigger Is Better in Bed]]: {{spoiler|Ash, as a boy before the Misfile, was ''really'' well-endowed. Interestingly, the characters acknowledge how he was [[Blessed
* [[The Cameo]]: By many characters, and even some regulars from the ''[[Misfile]]'' fan community.
** There's a cameo of [[Alice and Bob]] in ''Beyond Electric Dreams''
* [[Caught
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Subverted with the watch Emily uses to tell if she's dreaming or not. It becomes relevant twice: The first time, she realizes its a dream, but ignores that fact because its a ''sex'' dream. The second time, when its a [[Bad Future]] dream, her subconscious has become clever enough to make the watch broken (and therefore useless for her purposes) in the dream.
* [[Christmas Episode]]: All the stories from ''A Midwinter Night's Dream'' onward are set in the days leading up to Christmas, with snow as a prominent feature of the landscape. So, the majority of the fic as a whole could be considered one giant [[Christmas Episode]], but the actual day occurs during ''Carbon Dreams''.
Line 44 ⟶ 42:
* [[Cool Car]]: Many from the original comic, plus a whole new selection of even cooler cars.
* [[Creator Cameo]]: A brief and well-handled one.
* [[A Date
* [[A Day in
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: Jenny the Younger.
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Averted in epic style. The author has done an amazing amount of research on virtually all aspects of this fic.
** An amusing (and intriguing) example of the aversion in the notes of Harmony Dreams:
{{quote|
** One exception: {{spoiler|Mr. Almacy says that a contract must be notarized by a notary public.}} That isn't true, not that it ends up mattering.
* [[
* [[Dream Sequence]]: [[Once an Episode]].
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: ''Rusimiel's Lament'' is notably darker than the rest of the series and features Rusimiel and Vashiel as major characters, who are almost entirely missing from the later chapters.
Line 78 ⟶ 76:
* [[Miranda Rights]]: Emily is reminded that she is 16 again, so the cops ''don't'' have to read her her rights or give her a lawyer.
* [[No Bisexuals]]: Averted, hard!
* [[No Periods, Period]]: As in [[Misfile|the comic]], averted. "Don't look down."
* [[Open
* [[Police Brutality]]: Guaranteed to get your blood boiling, and not in the [[Hot
* [[Porn
** It bears repeating that this thing is over 450 pages long, with the explicit stuff taking up a tenth of it at most. So the fic is primarily romance, car races, character development, fashion shows, struggles with gender identity, legal drama, family bonding, and friendship... with occasional girl-on-girl action.
* [[The Power of Friendship]]: Ash and Emily to Jenny Jr., and Jenny herself towards some of the other models, though it doesn't quite take in the second case.
* [[Put
** Well, not really; most of Chapter 3 and everything onwards takes place on Cape Cod, where Ash's mother lives, while her father and Emily's mother are back home in Tempest.
** Also, Missi is mentioned and referenced a number of times, but she's nowhere to be seen, except for a brief sighting during one of Emily's [[Dream Sequence|Dream Sequences]].
Line 91 ⟶ 89:
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Almacy Sr. and Lt. Grayfield are probably the best examples, though Nathan, Jimmy, and Marie also qualify.
* [[Reckless Gun Usage]]: When Ash reaches under a car seat to confirm the weapon the car's owner just told her about is there, the owner chastises her and tells her the rules for gun handling.
* [[Relationship Upgrade]]: But then, seriously, what fanfic that isn't a
* [[Rescue Romance]]: There are shades of this between Ash and Jenny.
* [[Second Law of Gender Bending]]: Already there. {{spoiler|By the eighth chapter, Ash has already admitted to herself that her life is definitely better as a girl and has decided to adapt to it, or at least stop obsessing about getting switched back.}}
* [[Schoolgirl Lesbians]]: Ash and Emily {{spoiler|and Jenny Jr.}}
* [[Screw the Money, I Have Rules]]: Almacy Sr.
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]: Joshua Almacy Jr.
* [[Screw Yourself]]: One of Ash's nightmares.
* [[Shoulder Angels]]: Discussed. {{spoiler|[[Heartwarming Moments|Jenny says hers is named "Ash."]]}}
* [[Shout
** One of the many:
{{quote|
** Ash [[Half-Life (
*** Not to mention [[
* [[Shower Scene]]: Oh, so many. Many are also [[Shower of Love|Showers Of Love]].
{{quote|
'''Ash:''' You can go first.
'''Emily:''' Who said anything about taking turns? }}
* [[Single
* [[Shown Their Work]]
* [[Skinship Grope]]: Afterward, Emily wryly notes that she emphatically told Ash this ''never'' happens outside of porn.
Line 119 ⟶ 117:
* [[Threesome Subtext]]: Buckets. Let's just start with the fact that Jenny has kissed both Ash and Emily at separate times.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Shady area of town, let's go into an enclosed dark place with a really creepy guy...
* [[Took a Level
** There is [http://www.misfile.com/index.php?page=1313 reference] in the actual comic that she may have broken someone's nose, or at least [http://www.misfile.com/index.php?page=1315 bloodied it].
** She does [http://www.misfile.com/index.php?page=171 rough up] Tom pretty well, too.
Line 126 ⟶ 124:
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Getting Ash pissed at you: bad idea, or ''worst idea ever''?
* [[The Voice]]: Again, Henri Leroux. So far, only heard on the phone.
* [[Wham! Episode]]: Joshua Jr. {{spoiler|trashing Ash's Monster XR}} at the end of ''Beyond Electric Dreams''.
* [[Wham! Line]]: {{spoiler|"Ash, what's a Misfile?"}}
