[http://www.accessdenied-rms.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?fid=41 You can read the published stories here]; sort them by thread to put the list into reading order.
As of early 2024, the writing team have begun [https://archiveofourown.org/users/KanriKyaraProject reposting the stories] on [[Archive of Our Own]].
Compare ''[[Planeocracy]]''.
{{Megacrossover List}}

* ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya]]''
* ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]''
{{tropelist}}
Line 119 ⟶ 123:
* [[An Aesop]]: The ''Sailor Moon'' dub's infamous "Sailor Says" segments are mocked by Hotaru in ''Everyone's a Critic''.
* [[Alien Among Us]]: The displacees. Even the ones who aren't from space.
* [[Aliens in Cardiff]]: Played straight and played with. Hoping to find a displacee in [[New York City]]? Sorry, try [[Joisey|New Jersey]] instead... at least until the Muppet Theater shows up or somebody actually sees [[John Munch]] or Napoleon Solo. [[London Town|London, England]]? No, Kent County, UK and [[In Dublin's Fair City|Dublin, Ireland]]. [[Toronto]]? Try heading up the road to Ottawa. [[Motor City|Detroit]]? You'll have to cross the river to Windsor. And the largest collection of [[Artificial Intelligence|AI]] displacees are nowhere near Silicon Valley, having ended up in [[Boston (useful notes)|Boston]] instead. However, some displacees did appear in [[Montreal]] and [[Los Angeles]], including in the latter group [[Cardcaptor Sakura/Characters#Tomoyo Daidouji|one with an interest in cinematography]].
* [[Alternate Realm Boon]]: Although many displacees already have their own special powers and talents, some of them acquire ''additional'' powerups on top of what they could already do. And all displacees also gain the ability to speak the dominant language of the area in which they arrived like a native.
* [[Ascended Fanboy]]: The apartment managers were recruited through venues where fans of the various works were known or expected to congregate, and were selected in part for their familiarity with the works whose characters they would be playing host to. Played with in the case of the manager of the residence in Nova Scotia, which houses the cast of ''[[Ranma ½]]'' -- he's rapidly growing to ''detest'' his tenants.
Line 133 ⟶ 137:
* [[Butterfly of Doom]]: A literal one enticed Andy's [[Right-Hand-Cat]] Cujo into flipping a lever, activating a mad science invention.
* [[Calling Me a Logarithm]]: Played with, in that "troglodyte" ''was'' meant as an insult, but not to the person who asked what the word means.
* [[Canon Welding]]:
** The ''[[K-On!]]'' displacees include the manga-only OnnaGumi and the anime-only Ton-chan.
** During a conversation, the ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' characters discover that Usagi is from the '90s anime continuity while Naru is from the manga continuity.
* [[Cats Are Magic]]: Cat Síth, Luna, Artemis, Diana, Chiyo-chichi, President Aria, and Maya - from most to least magical. Schrödinger (Misaka 10032's cat), however, is just a cat.
* [[Caught the Heart on His Sleeve]]: A non-romantic example when ITEM first shows up in Ottawa and Rob volunteers to go meet them.
Line 140 ⟶ 147:
{{quote|'''Bob''': "<snrk> What are the odds that somebody is actually running some underwater residence south of Hawaii where Godzilla, Cthulhu, the aliens from Pacific Rim, Reptilicus and the Varga are all hanging out playing pinochle with cards the size of tennis courts? And when they get bored, that's when they show up in Venice?"
'''Brent''': "Don't worry guys, I'm a great pinochle player!"}}
* [[Compulsory School Age]]: Played Straight and Averted, [[Depending on the Writer]]. Rob's stories have his characters place out of high school if they're smart enough; only half of these characters continued to university. On the other hand, Brent's stories have the youngest Undine forced to attend high school despite having been about to graduate in her own universe – at least it's only part-time. The younger girls from ''[[K-On!]]'' find themselves enrolled at Franklin
* [[Crapsack Only by Comparison]]: Frenda's opinion of the living arrangements.
{{quote|'''Frenda:''' Are you sure this is the right place? It basically looks like a dump - why would Railgun be living here?
Line 157 ⟶ 164:
{{quote|"Remember that I showed everybody one episode of the anime that was made about you, and everyone complained about the voices being a little bit wrong?"
"You said it was because we weren't in this universe, so they had to use voice actors instead."}}
:* Discussed in ''Moving Days, Part II'':
{{quote|"The voice actresses did do a really good job of sounding like us," Mugi serenely noted.
"But we're better at sounding like us than they are," Ritsu added.}}
:* And then played with when {{spoiler|Japanese seiyuu start visiting their characters.}}
* [[Elaborate Underground Base]]: Played with by "Residence 51" in Colorado, which sits atop a half-completed underground base which seems to have been built in the 1980s by the US government or a military contractor, but was abandoned and apparently forgotten before it was finished.
* [[End of the World Special]]: Quoting from that trope's page: "Annoyingly enough, this has even carried on into ''Evangelion'' fanfics, where Third Impact basically means the writer can do WHATEVER THE FUCKING HELL THEY WANT, no and's, if's, or but's. Oddly, they all make more sense than whatever happened in the original, so maybe it's for the best." Thus, this is played straight in ''My Apartment Manager is not an Isekai Character'' with Shinji considering a dozen other works while he remakes reality.
* [[Exact Words]]: When the undines of ''[[Aria (manga)|Aria]]'' ask to be sent to Venice, [[Literal Genie|Sebastian]] smugly arranges their delivery to Venice, California rather than Venezia, Italy on the grounds that if they had wanted to go to the Italian city, they should have used its proper name.
* [[Extra-Strength Masquerade]]: "Malleable causality" adjusts people's attitudes (and sometimes memories) toward strange people and things (the displacees) appearing in the setting {{spoiler|... until it's overloaded by too many strange people and things showing up at once.}}
Line 166 ⟶ 178:
** Fate has [[Spell My Name with an "S"|Alph/Arf]] as her familiar.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: Invoked [[In-Universe]] when Bob casually mentions [[Sailor Moon|"The Outers" to Mamoru Chiba]], then has to stop and explain the fan usage to him when he expresses confusion.
* [[Fiction 500]]: Ciel Phantomhive has enough available cash to purchase, renovate, and furnish
* [[First-Name Basis]]: More because of a change in circumstances than a change in relationships, most of the displacees end up adopting Western interpersonal conventions rather quickly.
* [[Fish Out of Temporal Water]]: Many displacees are of the "Traveling to another world whose culture is somehow similar to that in a different time period of their own" variety. People from worlds resembling both the past (''[[Jack of Kinrowan]]'', ''[[The Wild Wild West (TV series)|The Wild Wild West]]'' TV series, etc.), wildly alternate near-presents (''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'') and mutually-exclusive futures (''[[Firefly (TV series)|Firefly]]'', ''[[Aria (manga)|Aria]]'', etc.) have appeared in the present-day setting.
* [[For Halloween I Am Going as Myself]]: Literally. Kuroko thinks her Tokiwadai school uniform is good enough to wear to the Halloween party.
* [[Fountain of Youth]]:
** {{spoiler|Rob Donaldson is rejuvenated to a physical age of 25 just before Academy City shows up.}}
** [[Bakuon!!|Hayakawa]] seems to be experiencing a much more subtle youthening -- something he can certainly use, since although he's [[Badass|one serious tough survivor]], he ''is'' in his 90s, after all.
* [[Genius Bonus]]: The company that delivers a boat to Venice is called [[w:Ekman transport|"Ekman Transport"]]. It's also the name on the side of the truck that delivers [[Mrs. Pollifax (franchise)|Emily Pollifax and her husband]] to Douglass Gardens Apartments.
* [[Girlfriend in Canada]]: Molly Ritter, daughter of the liaison to the Okeechobee, Florida displacees' residence, has a "snowbird" boyfriend who spends half his year in Toronto. Naturally she gets playful "Boyfriend in Canada" ribbing from her friends.
* [[Goggles Do Something Unusual]] / [[See-Thru Specs]]: The ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'' megami have their canon "debugging" glasses. Thanks to a wish, everybody in residence at Rob's apartment building at the time has a less-powerful version that lets them see through magical disguises – and a few of the characters actually wear them.
* [[Gondor Calls for Aid]]: Whether it's clearing out a nest of Grimm in Atlanta or reducing an Unseelie stronghold near Ottawa, the more martial residences work together whenever they're asked.
Line 182 ⟶ 195:
*** Railgun attends the Halloween party dressed as Sailor Jupiter. Sailor Jupiter attends dressed as Railgun. ([[Word of God]] says this was inspired by [https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/53795119 this fanart].)
*** After watching [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S2/E06 Halloween|a particular ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' episode]], Uiharu Kazari does an [[Alternate Character Reading]] of her own name and goes as Hatsuharu from ''[[Kantai Collection]]'', just in case that happens again – which shows she's [[Wrong Genre Savvy]] for once. ([[Word of God]] says this was also inspired by fan art, specifically [https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/44148355 this].)
* [[Here We Go Again]]:
*
** And when a new group of [[Ah! My Goddess|motorcyclists]] pull into Douglass Gardens minutes after the cast of ''[[Bakuon!!]]'' leaves at the end of ''Moving Days, Part II'', Bob says, "Here we go again. Again."
* [[Hero of Another Story]]: Invoked [[In-Universe]] in ''Moving Days, Part I'': In response to their obvious dissatisfaction with finding out they are supporting characters for [[K-On!|Hokago Tea Time]], Bob tells the members of OnNaGumi that in an infinite multiverse there inevitably ''must'' be universes where ''they'' are the stars of a popular franchise, and the members of Hokago Tea Time are supporting characters for ''them''. It doesn't seem to help.
* [[Hold Up Your Score]]: Yang does the verbal equivalent to rate Jaune's first kiss with Pyrrha:
Line 189 ⟶ 204:
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Rob's [[Author Insert]] character is at least [[One Head Taller]] than any of the women living in his apartment, with the exception of Mii.
* [[I Have Boobs - You Must Obey!]]: Averted when Mii and Rob first fall under Drosselmeyer's influence. She tries to invoke the trope, but he asks her to [[Please Put Some Clothes On]] instead.
* [[I Have Many Names]]: Skuld is described as having many names by Susanoo in ''The Eyes in Her Fire''.
* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: Mimi Hanyu, because of her background as a theatre major before being possessed by Mimete▼
* [[I Need a Freaking Drink]]: ''A Little Slice of Heaven on the Gulf'' ends with Kaji and Misato both saying this as a result of Kaji being contacted by HAL 9000.
▲* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: Mimi Hanyu, because of her background as a theatre major before being possessed by Mimete.
* [[Invoked Trope]]: Rei Ayanami hears about [[Rei Ayanami Expy|her expies]], and decides to dress as Yuki Nagato for the Halloween party.
* [["It" Is Dehumanizing]]: Invoked in one item of marginalia in the in-universe book ''So You Just Arrived from a Parallel Universe'': where the book states that "If you meet a self-aware program or android, it's a displacee", [[Robot Girl|Chii]] from ''[[Chobits]]'' has indignantly commented "'It'? I self-identify as female."
Line 205 ⟶ 222:
* [[Like Reality Unless Noted]]: The reality of late-2016, to be specific.
* [[Lime]]: By writer consensus, this is as far as this story will go in deconstructing sexuality. The line has already been reached.
* [[Literal Genie]]: Sebastian very knowingly and borderline maliciously plays this role when, in response to the Undines of ''[[Aria (manga)|Aria]]'' asking to be sent to Venice, he arranges their transport to Venice, California rather than Venezia, Italy.
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: Over 500 with individual character pages on the work's wiki, and more who haven't been given even an outline character page yet. Needless to say, this means that many characters have been [[Demoted to Extra]], including some popular characters such as [[Ah! My Goddess|Belldandy]], [[Ferris Bueller's Day Off|Ferris Bueller]], [[Ranma ½|Ranma Saotome]], [[Fate stay night|Shirou Emiya]], and [[A Certain Magical Index|Touma Kamijou]].
* [[Log Fic]]: "Some Uncomfortable Questions"
* [[Look Ma, No Plane]]: {{spoiler|When he needed to take a teleporter and a pilot to an aircraft, Accelerator controlled his own and their speed vectors in order to fly beside the plane close enough for the teleporter to get the pilot aboard.}}
* [[Male Gaze]]: Jaune Arc is briefly disgusted with himself in ''Everyone's a Critic'' when he follows Pyrrha outside after she watches her animated counterpart die, and finds his first thought when he gets there is how nice her butt looks in the jeans she's wearing.
* [[Marginal Note]]: ''So You Just Arrived From a Parallel Universe'', an [[In-Universe]] book released as part of the project, is liberally sprinkled with marginalia written by everyone from [[Azumanga Daioh|Tomo Takino]] to [[Ferris Bueller's Day Off|Ferris Bueller]].
Line 218 ⟶ 236:
* [[Mundane Wish]]: When offered a wish by [[Ah! My Goddess|a representative of the Goddess Relief Office]], [[Tenchi Muyo!|Mihoshi Kiramitsu]] wishes for someone to help her and displacees like her understand what's going on. This results in Heaven and Hell jointly creating the residence/manager system.
* [[Mutually Fictional]]:
** At least
** In the other direction, at least some of the ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' cast were familiar with ''[[Kimagure Orange Road]]'' before being displaced.
* [[Mr. Exposition|Ms. Exposition]]: Chiyo Mihama knows enough basic science, history, and mathematics to explain the basics of most points. She is a genius, after all. And she is more familiar with the [[Los Angeles]] area because, aside from Tina, she was the only one actually planning on living in North America.
* [[Multiverse]]: Is set in a "Many Worlds" multiverse which is undergoing a massive crisis.
* [[Nanomachines]]: Used in the [[Phlebotinum Du Jour]] and [[Magic From Technology]] senses of the trope, and usually supplied by [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien|Washuu-chan]]. Nanotech has been used to give multiple characters [[Heal Thyself|ridiculously fast medical treatment with a side-order of life extension]].
* [[Never Gets Drunk]]: Rob Donaldson, after the events of ''Donaldson en Kazakiri''. If [[Norse Mythology|Fafnir]]'s poison breath won't affect him any more, a mickey of liquor certainly won't either.
* [[Never Heard That One Before]]: Invoked in ''Moving Days, Part I'', when Bob notes he needs to call [[Akira|"Tetsuoooooo!"]] at Akira Wasa of ''[[K-On!]]''. His wife notes that she's probably heard that "like a million times already".
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Described on the work's wiki as "[[Ralph Breaks the Internet|Washuu-chan Breaks the <s>Internet</s> Multiverse]]", this is what starts off the entire story. As far as Washuu-chan knows, at least — Casey and Andy have evidence that ''they're'' the ones who broke the Multiverse, and Shinji Ikari is sure that it's his fault. The War Doctor might beg to differ, and then there's that whole dimensional rift Glory opened up in Sunnydale.
* [["No. Just... No" Reaction]]: Makoto Kino in response to seeing the ''[[Toon Makers Sailor Moon]]'' in ''Everyone's a Critic''.
* [[Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond]]: The mages, magical girls, [[Shout-Out|aliens, time travelers, sliders or espers]] who have found themselves in the setting. The overwhelming majority keep their abilities secret, either to blend in more easily or to keep them as hidden advantages (or for both reasons).
* [[Numerical Theme Naming]]: The first four Misaka Sisters seen in the story took personal names based on the final digit of their serial numbers, although one of them was quickly renamed when Mihoshi misheard the name.

** {{spoiler|[[A Certain Magical Index/Characters/Scientists and Researchers#Shinobu Nunotaba|Shinobu Nunotaba]], and [[Girls und Panzer/Characters#Shinobu Kawanishi|Shinobu Kawanishi]]}}
Line 275 ⟶ 305:
* [[Original Character]]: The apartment managers who are original characters created specifically for the project outnumber the self-insert and [[Public Domain Character]] apartment managers.
* [[Other Me Annoys Me]]: In ''Everyone's a Critic'', while the Sailor Senshi discuss watching ''[[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon]]'' and the North American dub of the original anime. It's also ''very'' strongly implied to factor into their reaction to the ''[[Toon Makers Sailor Moon]]'' video.
* [[Overly Narrow Superlative]]: The project's reference wiki describes [[Princess Tutu|Entchen]] as "the greatest anatine ballerina on Earth" (then immediately footnotes that she's probably the ''only'' anatine ballerina on Earth).
== P-T ==
* [[Pals with Jesus]]: It's common for a residence building to have a tutelary, and in some cases the kami (or demon) visits often enough that they're on a [[First-Name Basis]] with the building's residents.
** The tutelary of Maison d'Orléans, [[Archangel Michael]], shows up there almost daily, and has basically adopted [[Joan of Arc|Jehanne Romée]] as his little sister.
** Just might be disturbingly literal for the girls of [[Bakuon!!|Kickstand Cottage]], whose tutelary is a Celestial they'd already met in their home universe who bears a striking resemblance to a clean-shaven Jesus. In an as-yet-unreleased passage, he all but admits to their local liaison that he is Jesus, but at the same time warns that who Jesus is thought to be today and who he actually ''was'' might be two very different things.
* [[Parental Substitute]] / [[Sink-or-Swim Fatherhood]]: In order to keep the Academy City girls from being separated in foster care, and then the same happening to the Sailor Senshi, Rob had to become foster father to them all. He made sure to get their permission first, but he still went from being a bachelor to having ten tween- and teenage daughters in a single week.
** {{spoiler|[[Happily Adopted]]}}: {{spoiler|And then after she learns about the dark side of Academy City and decides she's never going back there, Ruiko Saten agrees to be adopted by Rob. [[Deconstruction|As in real life,]] it will take a year in-universe for the process to be completed.}}
* [[Pass the Popcorn]]:
*
** The managers at Douglass Gardens make popcorn for everyone when the casts of ''[[K-On!]]'' and ''[[Bakuon!!]]'' watch each other's animes (and a couple others) in ''Moving Days, Part II''.
* [[The Password Is Always Swordfish]]: At least for the first few days, at Aria House:
{{quote|'''Brent''': The network name is "Pokoteng", and the password is 'swordfish1!', that's digit 1 and exclamation mark at the end. Don't want to make it too easy to guess, after all.}}
Line 287 ⟶ 321:
* [[Playboy Bunny]]: Mii Konori's costume for the 2016 Halloween Party.<ref>And the writers discovered that as of late-2018 Pixiv, Safebooru, Zerochan, and E-shuushuu between them had fan art of every major heroic-side female from ''A Certain Scientific Railgun'' in the outfit ''except'' for Konori.</ref>
* [[Polyamory]]: With the (known) gender balance among displacees skewing so much that females noticeably outnumber males, this is a possibility for everyone in the stories. Consider also that characters from ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]'' were among the earliest displacees, and there's at least one [[Reality Warper]] in the setting who enjoys forcing people into roles in a story. It's known to be more than a possibility in a small minority of the residences. (This plays out as [[For the Love of Many]]; as of February 2017 in universe (late-2022 in Real Life), [[Three-Way Sex]] has yet to be mentioned as happening anywhere.)
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: Ami Mizuno's response to watching ''[[Toon Makers Sailor Moon]]'': "What the ''hell'' was that supposed to be?"
* [[Punctuated! For! Emphasis!]]: During the Halloween party:
{{quote|'''Yomi''': "They're yakuza, Tomo. Ya-ku-za!"}}
* [[Real Place Background]]: Most of the displacee residences (although not all of them) are or were real buildings, located where the stories say they can be found. Nearby real businesses and attractions which prove plot-relevant also show up in the stories. In addition, at least a couple stories include what are virtually travelogues through real travel routes.
* [[Real World Episode]]: This project is what happens when hundreds of works simultaneously get Real World Episodes -- all in the same Real World.
* [[Recursive Fanfiction]]: In ''Everyone's a Critic'', [[Revolutionary Girl Utena|Utena Tenjou]] reacts to having read the ''Symphony of the Sword'' stories from ''[[Undocumented Features]]'', and [[All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku|Atsuko Natsume]] discovers both a goal to aspire to and a problem she never realized upon reading 1990s-vintage fanfiction about herself.
Line 294 ⟶ 330:
* [[Remember the New Guy?]]: Malleable Causality turns this trope [[Up to Eleven]].
* [[Rule of Three]]: A motif in ''Donaldson en Kazakiri''. Some words are used three times in the same sentence, there were three encounters on the way back to the portal home, and three objections each were raised to the title characters returning to Earth.<ref>Yes, we know that this is three uses of the [[Rule of Three]].</ref>
* [[Rule 34]]:
*
** In the final scene of the same story it's obvious that [[Azumanga Daioh|Tomo Takino]] is reading one about herself and Yomi.
** And there is a discussion forum on the [https://kanrikyara.miraheze.org/wiki/Displacees.yggdrasil server set up for displacees] where they can discuss how to deal with Rule 34 fan fiction about themselves.
* [[Scattered Across Time and Space]]: Common to larger groups of characters from long-running works. The most obvious example is the characters from ''A Certain Magical Index'', whose arrivals were spread out over a full year and across two continents despite them leaving their own world at the same time.
* [[Secret Path]]: The tunnel running between the Banzai Institute compound and the Roadhouse in Somerset NJ is the "go somewhere without being noticed" type.
* [[Self-Insert Fic]]: With anywhere from two to five self-insert characters active at a given time in Real Life.
* [[Shipper on Deck]]: Tomoyo, approaching [[The Matchmaker]] except that she does understand "personal space".
* [[Show Within a Show]]/[[Fictional Document]]:
*
** ''Hard Press'': a ''[[Josei]]'' manga that doesn't exist in the Refuge timeline (or ours), but was big enough in many other universes (including that of ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'') to get an anime and a live-action movie.
* [[Side Bet]]: In the Halloween story: "Okay, who had 'As soon as she saw him' in the pool?"
* [[Slice of Life]]: particularly in Brent's stories.
