Mythology Gag: When Link and Minion are talking about Megamind and Roxanne's relationship, Link states that Roxanne definitely likes Megamind as a friend, so they know that she won't "reject him in the rain or something like that."

 A Different Childhood (Fanfic) / int_30d4f2a
comment
Narcissist: Derek. He only loves Susan when she's "normal", breaks up with her when they finally reunite after a month (essentially saying that his career is more important than their relationship), and tries to get back together with her when she becomes a hero as it would then benefit his career. With a little help from B.O.B., she dumps him on live TV.

Heroes Gone Fishing: Unlike in canon, nearly a month passes between when the monsters defeat the alien robot and Gallaxhar abducts Susan and Megamind. During this time, the monsters make themselves a base at the wrecked church where Susan got her powers. Susan takes some time to visit her friends and parents, while Roxanne Ritchie befriends the monsters and teaches Megamind about the city.

 A Different Childhood (Fanfic) / int_4781adbb
comment
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Monger. He does his duty as a general by locating monsters or aliens that land on Earth and locking them up in facilities. At the same time, though, he understands that the monsters haven't done anything wrong, and treats them with respect (only treating them like prisoners when they cause trouble). He even visits them after they complete their mission, and is more than willing to help them rescue Susan and Megamind when they're abducted.

comment
Happily Adopted: Megamind (for obvious reasons) knows that none of the monsters in the prison are his biological family. But that doesn't stop him from viewing Dr. Cockroach as a father figure, or considering the rest of the monsters his family. This isn't hard to believe, as the monsters did a surprisingly good job raising him.

Beta Couple: While the Official Couple of the fic is Megamind and Roxanne (seeing as how their relationship gets the most focus), there's also the slow-burn romance between Susan and Dr. Cockroach. B.O.B. and his relationship with the Jell-O also technically counts (they seem happy together, at least).

Badass Normal: Monger qualifies, as he's an ordinary human man, but is also an experienced general who is ready and willing to fight an alien and fly a kaiju rescue the team. Roxanne. While she doesn't do much fighting, she is an incredibly smart woman who is among the first civilians to see the monsters for who they are, and is able to come up with a way to help Megamind and the team escape via sending Violet the Brainbot to help. Plus, she single-handedly convinces the California state government to not ban the monsters.

The Cuckoolander Was Right
 A Different Childhood (Fanfic) / int_75979171
comment
The Cuckoolander Was Right: B.O.B. is very much the Cloud Cuckoolander of the group, often saying or doing things that make no sense (justified due to the fact that he has no brain). However, when the monsters go to Gallaxhar's ship to save Susan and Megamind, B.O.B. has the idea to disguise themselves by putting on the clone uniforms. Seeing as how the guards are dumber than B.O.B., this works.

Actually Pretty Funny: At one point in Megamind's childhood, he and Link were playing hide-and-seek. When Link couldn't find Megamind, B.O.B. told him that he was hiding in the "chute". While Megamind was actually hiding in the laundry chute, Link thought that B.O.B. meant the garbage chute. Thus, he dove headfirst into the garbage to find Megamind...only to end up covered in garbage. Even Monger thought it was hilarious.

Then, right after they've revealed their feelings for one another, Gallaxhar's ship shows up and abducts Megamind. The exact same thing happens at the monster's camp, ruining a potential moment between Susan and Dr. Cockroach.

The Alcatraz: What the monster prison is largely implied to be. Dr. Cockroach, Link, and B.O.B. tried to escape multiple times, but eventually gave up. It's also outright stated by Dr. Cockroach that, even if someone managed to escape the base, the humans outside wouldn't accept them (which, unfortunately, Megamind learns the hard way).

Once he quits the Channel 6 news in hopes that it'll get Roxanne's attention, he's never seen again.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

comment
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Mildly subverted. At first, the monsters are still treated badly by the humans of Modesto despite defeating the alien robot. However, thanks to Roxanne Ritchie's efforts, the people start to warm up to them a little, finally seeing them as heroes by the end of the fic.

Earn Your Happy Ending
 A Different Childhood (Fanfic) / int_f64a9cf7
comment
Earn Your Happy Ending: Megamind and the monsters spent decades imprisoned in the base, and even after saving the planet they are looked down on or feared by the rest of society. By the end, though, Megamind has found love with Roxanne and lives in Metro City while the monsters have become the country's (possibly the world's) number-one defense against monster/alien/robot threats. They still visit often, as at the end Megamind, Minion, and Roxanne visit the monster base for Christmas.

Darkest Hour

Darkest Hour: Gallaxhar has come to Earth and kidnapped both Susan and Megamind, Insectasaurus is down and possibly dead, Minion is out of commission, and none of the monsters know what to do. Luckily, Link gets a Heroic Second Wind, and they come up with a plan with help from Roxanne.

comment
Comically Missing the Point: When Susan leaves her friends at her parents' party, her mother asks her what they should do with them (implying that she's not comfortable with monsters at the party). Susan just says to put out snacks, clearly not understanding what her mother's asking.

Innocently Insensitive: Roxanne, when interviewing the monsters, asks Megamind about his home planet, unaware that this is a bit of a tough subject for him. He asks if they can stop the interview, and she gets the message.

Monster Roommate: Because Susan is the most human-looking of the monsters, she considers them all as this once she's locked up in the base.
