'''''[http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=179098 Zero's Shock]''''' is a crossover between ''[[BioshockBioShock (series)]]'' and ''[[Zero no Tsukaima]]'' written by the same author who is giving us ''[[ToyHammer]]''. Simply put; Jack becomes the Familiar of Zero. While the fic is still in its infancy it has a promising start, with Jack and Louise both having a lot of character depth for a [[Silent Protagonist]] - a trait that is somewhat retained - and being spot on with canon (barring the domestic abuse - Jack doesn't give her a chance for that), which has earned this fic praise from the reviewers on [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6556173/1/Zeros_Shock fanfiction.net].
 
Also, there will be BEES.
 
[[Word of God]] says that this is based on a hypothetical in-between ending where Jack becomes King of Rapture while still having the favour of the Little Sisters. Said ending is shown through flashbacks, which gives us glimpses of the Rapture 'Reunification War', with [[The Hero|Jack]], [[The Mentor|Tenenbaum]], and the rest of the ''[[BioshockBioShock (series)]]'' cast, providing us with [[Character Development]] to see how Jack became who he is now.
 
=== This fanfic contains the following tropes: ===
 
* [[Added Alliterative AppealAlliteration]]: "= Former Fontaine Futuristics, Floor F Fanroom ="
* [[All There in the Manual]]: Musings on what happens if [[Medieval European Fantasy|Halkeginians]] took up arms against [[Bio Punk|Rapture]], fun little omakes of hypothetical situations (such as [[Cool Big Sis|Cattleya]], ''ahem'', [[Not What It Looks Like|'doing the deed']]) a Delta-themed version of [[Shout-Out|Modern]] [[The Pirates of Penzance|Major]] [[Mass Effect 2|General]], limericks dedicated to [[The Messiah|Jack]], [[Con Man|Fontaine]], [[Overprotective Dad|Delta]] and [[She's All Grown Up|Eleanor]] (The first is trumpeting Jack's badass. The latter three each a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] on their own) are all available on the [http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=179098 Spacebattles threads].
* [[Badass]]: Jack.
Line 25:
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Inverted. [[The Hero|Jack's]] laugh is scary as hell, since his voice is still augmented by his... [[Body Horror|modifications]], and even makes Big Daddies stop to turn and stare. And he's a good guy.
* [[Face Palm]]: Practically a staple reaction of Jack to the ''[ZnT'' crew's antics.
* [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink]]: Halkeginia is a world on the doorstep of the Renaissance and contains magic (and magical creatures related to such a setting). It has also been crossed over with [[BioshockBioShock (series)]], known to have at least taken things from {{spoiler|[[Halo]] and [[Pokémon]]}} and possibly others... well, you'd expect this trope.
* [[Flat What]]:
{{quote|“What.” No question mark. It was just a flat statement on Jack's part.}}
Line 32:
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]:
{{quote|Derflinger: "Golems this big always have a magic-saturated catalytic core to help run the whole thing! Its like the heart, or a lung, actually. Maybe a kidney? Dunno about squishy bits, you people have such complicated names for them."}}
* [[Instant Expert]]: Played with in a meta context. Jack seems to be an [[Instant Expert]] with his plasmids during the events of [[BioshockBioShock (series)]], but here it is subverted in that the plasmids can be much more effective and more EVE efficient after he's gotten some practice in.
* [[Irony]]: Noted by the author: At the moment, Rapture (a formerly free-market capitalist society designed to be Ayn Rand's utopia) and its population would be more than eager to crown Jack a king or equivalent thereof if it had more spare time from rebuilding after the Civil War. However, most of Halkeginia (a pre-Renaissance era + magic setting) is itself on the verge of a commoner's rebellion (which is, in canon, already in progress up in Albion), which would push its society towards capitalism...
* [[The Lancer]]: Salvatore, back in Rapture, acts as one for Jack and perhaps later for Tenenbaum as well. Shows hints of becoming a [[Supporting Leader]] as well.
Line 68:
* [[The Silent Bob]]: Jack doesn't really need to talk to be expressive; see [[Face Palm]] above. It's actually one of the reasons he gets along so well with Tabitha.
* [[Squee]]: Done by Siesta when Jack thanks her for the bread.
* [[Take That]]: To [[Bio ShockBioShock Infinite]].
{{quote|Floating continent?! The splicer tried to wrap his head around the concept of a floating city. Sure, Rapture was a bizarre place on its own, but it still had a foundation! It was at the bottom of the sea, rather than in the freaking sky!}}
* [[Terse Talker]]: Jack and Tabitha barely speak more than one word each time they open their mouths. When they have their first conversation, which Kirche states to be the longest conversation Tabitha's had with anyone ever, it's entirely done with one-word sentences.
