Line 1: {{work}} ''[['''The TSAB-Acturus War]]''''' by rider of war (a.k.a lord admiral belisarius) is a military science-fiction fanfic set in the [[Lyrical Nanoha\|Nanohaverse]]. Five years after the Scaglietti incident, the Time-Space Administration Bureau faces a new threat: the expansionist Democratic Republic of Acturus. In response to Acturus's hostile actions, including against a Bureau-administered world, the Bureau sends men and materiel to make an example of it. Be warned: It suffers from the dark side of [[Growing the Beard]], more accurately the weak starting chapters aspect. While how much better it gets is something that YMMV about, most seem to agree that the beginning leaves something to be desired. It is also dark in that [[Anyone Can Die]]; it seems like the only guaranteed survivors are the viewpoint characters. Line 6: Can be found at both [https://web.archive.org/web/20120413021959/http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5802489/1/The_TSAB_Acturus_War FanFiction.net] and [http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=162743 SpaceBattles.com]. ~~----~~ {{tropelist}} * [[A Father to His Men]]: Field Marshall Parker.▼ * [[A Million Is a Statistic]]: Example of the "Not Good" side of [[Tropes Are Tools]]. Early on the author tries to avert this by pinning names to individual ships and redshirts, but [[Humans Are the Real Monsters\|the average reader's response seems to range from finding it redundant and distracting to outright finding it a turnoff.]]▼ * [[Ace Pilot]]: The DRA has some. * [[Abnormal Ammo]]: The TSAB redshirt's standard firearm fires mana bolts. Line 33 ⟶ 31: * [[Faceless Goons]]: The majority of DRA troops, but particularly Assault Troopers, whose [[Badass Creed]] is variations on "no one unmasks an Assault Trooper and lives". * [[Fake Ultimate Mook]]: {{spoiler\|The DRA artificial mages, who do okay against TSAB grunts but get stomped by Signum and Vita.}} ▲* [[A Father to His Men]]: Field Marshall Parker. * [[Fixed Forward-Facing Weapon]]: {{spoiler\|''Sacred War'''s particle cannon.}} * [[Foregone Conclusion]]: The author has been forthright about the fact that the TSAB will win. The story is in the journey there, not what end. Line 54 ⟶ 53: * [[Magnetic Weapons]]: DRA starships mount coil and railguns. * [[Meaningful Funeral]]: Given by the DRA to {{spoiler\|Rear Admiral Vaina and the ''Sacred War'''s crew.}} ▲* [[A Million Is a Statistic]]: Example of the "Not Good" side of [[Tropes Are Tools]]. Early on the author tries to avert this by pinning names to individual ships and redshirts, but [[Humans Are the Real Monsters\|the average reader's response seems to range from finding it redundant and distracting to outright finding it a turnoff.]] * [[Mirror Match]]: Averted. While Dragon the bombardier does go up against Nanoha, [[Shock and Awe]] [[Knife Nut]] Shank goes up not against Cinque or Fate but Vita, [[Cold Sniper]] Hawkeye faces Fate rather than Vice and [[More Dakka]] [[Barrier Warrior]] Brute has to settle for Signum rather than Yuuno, Arf or Zafira. On that note, Dragon is technically a fire mage and should probably have gone against Signum. * [[Mood Whiplash]]: At one point, Hayate segues from a serious discussion on the DRA and the war into teasing Nanoha about her relationship with Fate. Line 86: * [[War Fic]]: [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]. It ''is'' in the title, after all. * [[War Is Hell]]: Not really a focus, but it's there. * [[Wave Motion Gun]]: Arc-en-Ciels up the wazoo. Then there's the {{spoiler\|Self-Propelled Weapons Platform ''Sacred War'', which is essentially a mobile particle cannon capable of hitting targets from a light-second out and is used against Mid-Childa itself for millions of casualties. Nanoha uses a Starlight Breaker to blow through a mountain to reach Field Marshall Parker's command post.}} * [[We Have Reserves]]: One DRA POW is told that the TSAB can win by virtue of sheer numbers if it has to. * [[What You Are in the Dark]]: Assault Troopers are meant to fight in the dark and die unknown. {{spoiler\|Brute is very disheartened to be his squad's sole survivor and a POW, being both magically and physically restrained from suicide to deny himself to the TSAB.}} * [[Worthy Opponent]]: Brute sees Signum as this. * [[~~Would Not~~Wouldn't Hit a Girl]]: Brute subverts this, saying that he would rather not but needs to make an exception for Signum. {{reflist}} {{Lyrical Nanoha Franchise}} [[Category:Troper Works]]▼ [[Category:~~The TSAB-Acturus War~~{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Fanfic]] ▲[[Category:Troper Works]] [[Category:Lyrical Nanoha/Fan Works]] {{DEFAULTSORT:TSAB-Acturus War, The}}
