A genre of [[Fan Fiction]] in which we find our plucky young heroes fighting in large military conflict, whether they want to or not. These fics almost always involve the main characters joining the military in some way, and almost always involve a focus on the weapons, tactics, and politics involved in war and how the characters react to them -- as opposed to the characters themselves. Of course, this is helped a long quite a bit if said characters are ''already'' in the military.
This comes up ''a lot'' in series involving [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|immortals]] (where this often expands on said immortal character's [[Backstory]]) and/or [[Time Travel]] combined with [[Hollywood History|Historical Fics]].
[[Gun Porn]] is entirely optional.

Line 13:
* The [[Poke Wars]] series is, as the name indicates, a set of war stories set in the [[Pokémon]] universe. What is interesting to note is that it's not about war between humans, but between a faction of Pokemon that decided that humans are [[Complete Monster|Complete Monsters]] that have to be eradicated no matter what, and the humans and Pokémon allied to them. The initial stories are more of a survival action genre, while the [[Expanded Universe]] details a proper war effort where both factions are truly established.

* Considering ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam (Anime)|Mobile Suit Gundam]]'' 's (and its numerous series) war drama settings, as well as the [[War Is Hell]] message, its no surprise to see many fanfics set during wartime, whether they're side stories, sequels, or even prequels to the wars already seen.
Line 21:
* [[Reunions Are a Bitch (Fanfic)|Reunions Are a Bitch]] is probably one of the best examples in the [[Intercontinuity Crossover]] category. Featuring what has got to be the most detailed (and, as a consequence, [[Archive Binge|one of the longest]]) description and execution of a crossover between [[Stargate SG 1]] and [[Battlestar Galactica]] ever made. For lovers of realism, politics, and massive space battles it's a must. Can be read [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3546854/1/ here].
* [http://www.furryconflict.com/ ''Trek Wars: The Furry Conflict''] [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|is exactly that]]: a pitched conflict of good and evil across two galaxies in a dystopic alternate timeline where the UFP and the Empire are wailing on each-other with everything they got and everyone (save for [[Starfish Aliens|a few Star Wars species]]) is a furry. Notable for being one of the longest running (and by longest, we mean it updates maybe twice a year) crossover series on the net.
* [http://bladesquall.deviantart.com/gallery/29535894 PonyCraft: Friends of Equestria] is a crossover of ''[[Starcraft II]]'' and ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' (as [[Starcraft]] is a war game, well…). Here, Twilight also has to learn how to be a leader.
** There is also ''[[Ace Combat the Equestrian War (Fanfic)|Ace Combat: The Equestrian War]]'', with Rainbow Dash being [[The Heroine]].
* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2177824/1/The_Last_of_the_Cliffhangers_Unit The Last of the Cliffhangers Unit] featured the cast of ''[[Higher Ground]]'' in the [[Future Badass]] arc of a '''''largely''''' [[Dead Fic|uncompleted]] [[Mega Crossover]] in which Scott's [[Abusive Parents|stepmother]] Elaine is a demon general and the Cliffhangers are a Special Forces Unit.
