Recursive Fanfiction: While Protecters of the Plot Continuum is already a Shared Universe of recursive fanfiction, this fanfic involves agents going on a mission inside someone else's agent missions, which in turn are set within other fanfics. |

| | Fledglings, or: Everything's Better With Penguins (Fanfic) / int_49b1fe0 |
comment |
Beige Prose: The prose making up Tawaki Penguin's missions has minimal descriptions of things and a lack of narrative connecting the plot points. This has the side-effect of the setting appearing incredibly generic to the agents due to being underdescribed and the stories occurring at a rapid pace due to lack of additional prose to create more downtime between events. |

comment |
Synchronization: Agents Mallory and Anis briefly find themselves changing locations alongside Tawaki and his partner due to the narration of the story they're in referring to the later pair as "agents", which the former also are. Mal and Anis are thankfully able to use their CAD's "narrative decoupling" option to desynch themselves. |

comment |
You Can't Fight Fate: Although Anis and Mal warn the agent about his intended fate and make a duplicate of him to take his place in the narrative, they are ultimately unable to prevent Nicholas Duval from dying in 2008. The most their mission changes is his time and cause of death; instead of being murdered by a mirror universe version of another agent in January, he perishes in either the Marcrovirus Epidemic or Mary Sue Invasion a few months later. |

comment |
Explosive Instrumentation: The Character Analysis Devices used by Agent Tawaki and his partners tend to explode at the slightest provocation, to the point of being a Running Gag. During the sporking of Tawaki's missions, Anis comments that the narrative is exaggerating the combustibility of the CADs because they typically only explode if exposed to really obnoxious Suvian presences. |

Protagonist-Centered Morality |
| | Fledglings, or: Everything's Better With Penguins (Fanfic) / int_89434320 |
comment |
Protagonist-Centered Morality: Deconstructed with the missions of Tawaki Penguin. While Agent Tawaki went on many missions to combat poorly written fanfics and Mary Sues, the stories about his various exploits have issues of similar caliber, such as overly simplistic prose and Tawaki being single-handedly responsible for multiple events that led to massive losses of PPC personnel. This lack of regard for anything nonessential to a Tawaki-centered narrative is one of the factors that leads Agents Mallory and Anis to classify him as a Gary Stu. |

comment |
Well, This Is Not That Trope: The story opens with a description of how quiet it is in Response Center 8 and how that would usually mean the console would be loudly beeping at the agents to go on a mission. Then the narration states that said scenario is unlikely to happen for the time being due to the console somehow teleporting itself away and the agents being in no hurry to get a replacement. |

comment |
Secret Police: The Department of Internal Operations is a department at the PPC that goes after Mary Sue infiltrators of the organization, and does such a good job at covering up its own existence that most people aren't sure if it's real. By the time the story takes place, however, the DIO has been defunct for over a decade. Some of the department's members end up helping Anis and Mallory assassinate the Gary Stu known as Agent Tawaki Penguin, as the fanfic they're all in is set at a time when the DIO was still active. |

comment |
Brick Joke: Anis and Mal's console disappeared prior to the start of the fic, and they want to have as long of a break from getting assigned missions as possible. The two attempt to delay getting a replacement console by titling the tech support ticket reporting its absence "where did my emails go????" so it gets marked as low priority. In the epilogue, they come back from the Macrovirus Epidemic memorial to find a new console getting installed; mistitling the support ticket didn't work for very long. |
