''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6255276/1/The_World_without_the_War The World without the War]'' is an [[Alternate Universe Fic]] by [http://www.fanfiction.net/~smichael S-Michael] set in a version of the [[Avatar: The Last Airbender]] universe [[Exactly What It Says
{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Well, duh. Aside from canon, there's four female [[Original Character|OCs]] to date (of various [[Character Alignment|alignments]]) who are all very [[Badass]].
Line 8:
* [[Allohistorical Allusion]]: They sure do seem to readily scoff at the idea that the Fire Nation would or could (depending on where one lives) invade the Earth Kingdom.
* {{spoiler|[[A Match Made in Stockholm]]: Amy and Tsu hook up.}} Lampshaded:
{{quote|
* [[Anti
* [[Anti
* [[Badass]]: Ironically, the only person in the main cast to have ''not'' have an opportunity to prove their badassitude (yet) is {{spoiler|Amadahy}}--you know, ''the Avatar?''
* [[Big Bad]]: Zhou. Hey, don't go...
* [[Big Bad Wannabe]]: OC Doro Kim has some [[Xanatos Roulette|master plan]] which others repeatedly [[Lampshade Hanging|state could never possibly work]], though his incompetence is what makes him dangerous:
{{quote|
* [[Butt Monkey]]: No one likes the Northern Water Tribe. Not even the Southern Water Tribe. Also, Doro Kim gets zero respect--even Long Feng thinks he's an idiot. Oh, and he has an in-universe detractor nickname (see above). Yeah.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: A couple of the [[Info Dump|info dumps]] have turned out to have contained information useful to the story later. (Some planned, some [[Writing
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: {{spoiler|On a date with Sokka, Azula mentions that her father got banished from the Fire Nation for attempting a coup.}} Guess who shows up in the very next chapter?
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: Would Azula snipe airbenders with lightning before they've gotten close enough to counter-attack? Would Sokka hit {{spoiler|Ozai}} in the temple with his boomerang while he was distracted giving a villainous speech to Azula? The answer to both questions is ''yes''.
* [[
* [[The Dark Arts]]: There's a certain airbending discipline called voidbending and/or domination-airbending which is specifically called "a dark side to our art", but doesn't seem so bad...until ''later''...
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: While [[Incredibly Lame Pun|the world of The World]] is no doubt a better place than canon, we see a darker side of it--bigotry, drug lords, {{spoiler|[[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]]}}, etc. Also, people sure do die a lot. (Mostly [[Mooks]], but [[What Measure Is a Mook?|still]].)
* [[Did We Just Have Tea
* [[
* [[The Dragon]]: {{spoiler|Tsubasa}} was this to Kazane {{spoiler|before her [[Heel Face Turn]]}}.
* [[Early
* {{spoiler|[[The End of the World
* [[Expy]]: Kasha is [[Honor Harrington
* [[For Want of a Nail]]: Instead of wreaking Sozin's throneroom when he discovers the Earth Kingdom colony, Avatar Roku has a nice, civilized debate about it.
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: Aside from Azula being one of the ''good guys'' in this universe, there's Mai, and Tsubasa {{spoiler|before she's revealed to be [[The Mole]]}} and {{spoiler|after her [[Heel Face Turn]]}}, not to mention Kasha and Usani.
Line 35:
* [[Heel Realization]]: {{spoiler|Tsubasa, after realizing that her precious voidbending was forbidden ''for a reason''.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Immortality]]: Ilmarinen is more-or-less type one, but it's temporary, lasting for "only" a thousand years, and then he [[Killed Off for Real|dies for real]]...and it's been just about a thousand years. He's grooming Piandao to take his place.}}
* [[
* [[Info Dump]]: S-Michael is fond of this.
* [[In Spite of a Nail]]: The point of divergence with canon is about a hundred and thirty-odd years ago, and yet all the canon characters exist (even Aang, though he's dead now). And Ozai is still evil.
* [[Jerkass]]: Tsubasa--impressive, considering that she's sharing a cast with Mai and Azula.
* [[Jerkass Facade]]: Subverted with Tsubasa. It turns out that under the facade is another jerk.
* [[Jerk
* [[Karma Houdini]]: {{spoiler|Wakaun}} and later {{spoiler|Kazane}} both escape being punished for their crimes, in spite of the fact that they were responsible for {{spoiler|the kidnapping and attempted murder of Sokka and ''the Avatar''}}, respectively.
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]
Line 46:
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: Eight different named OCs at this point, and most of the major canon characters make an appearance.
* [[MacGuffin Girl]]: Actually, {{spoiler|Ilmarinen}} is male, and fully aware of his not-entirely-human status. Also borders on [[Living MacGuffin]].
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Kasha and Usani are named for [[Honor Harrington
* [[Memetic Badass]]: There are Toph Facts ''in universe'' here.
* {{spoiler|[[The Mole]]: Tsubasa}}.
* [[Omake]]: Every so often there will be a chibi parody of what has happened thus far.
* [[The One Guy]]: Sokka.
* [[Out
* [[Plot Twist]]: There's more blanked-out areas on this page than a transcript from the Reagan administration.
* [[The
* {{spoiler|[[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: Ilmarinen is one thousand years old.}}
* [[La Résistance]]: Toph's army of rebels and bandits.
Line 60:
** Any time someone says "X [[Tempting Fate|couldn't possibly happen]]" (and it didn't happen in canon), ''it's about to happen!''
* [[Schedule Slip]]: S-Michael managed to avoid it until the story went into have gone into hiatus. It appears to be back.
* [[Sealed Evil in
* {{spoiler|[[Sealed Inside a Person
* [[Ship Tease]]: Toph/Teo. In the [[Omake]], Katara/Ty Lee.
* [[Shout
* [[Sliding Scale of Villain Threat]]: Wakaun wanted to kill Sokka (Doro Kim wanted to start a war, but whatever), Kazane wanted to kill the Avatar, Zhou wanted to become immortal (and, presumably, take over the world).
** Interestingly, S-Michael's villains' positions on the [[Sliding Scale of Villain Effectiveness]] and the [[Sliding Scale of Antagonist Vileness]] appear to be roughly inversely related.
* [[Take That Me]]: Much of the omake. And a rather subtler example:
{{quote|
* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]: Tsubasa, of course.
* [[Unholy Holy Sword]]: {{spoiler|Airbending}}, of all things! Well, to be more precise, {{spoiler|certain airbenders can (temporarily) increase their power by ''sucking out a person or animal's soul!''}} The truly scary thing is, they don't even know that they're doing it.
* [[Worf Had the Flu]]: The freaking Avatar was the next best thing to useless in the biggest fight scene to date because she'd just been held captive and immobile for several days and could barely stand. And the reason {{spoiler|Ozai}} was defeated by ''Sokka'', of all people? A lucky-shot sucker blow to the temple with his boomerang [[Combat Pragmatist|while he was distracted giving a villain-like speech]].
