| Parting the Clouds (Fanfic) | comment |
Parting the Clouds is a Rational Fic rewrite of Animorphs in which Cassie is recast as a rationalist. It vaguely follows the plot of the original series with some new subplots, removed plotholes and tightened relationships between different aspects of the series, told from a rationalist perspective.Unusually for a fanfic, except for one Gamebooks installment, no knowledge of the original series is presumed. | |

The Confidant | |
| Parting the Clouds (Fanfic) / int_15aa2b3c | comment |
The Confidant: Cassie starts building up a number of these, starting with Melissa (after urging Rachel), the cook who saw the lobsters (i.e. morphed Marco and Ax), Rachel's father (after confirming with Tobias—with Melissa's help—that he isn't a Controller) as a "waypoint" for ex-Controllers to escape to (and she eventually confesses this to Rachel after the crocodile incident, who doesn't take it well), Erek and the Chee King (to escort those ex-Controllers out), and goes on from there. | |

| Parting the Clouds (Fanfic) / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: Marco discusses this when he heard Cassie drugged Jake/Temrash's sandwich with sedative. He said as he looked to the sky, “Oh, nothing. Just waiting for Tobias to come streaking across the sky screaming 'he's escaped!' That sort of thing always happens when somebody starts talking optimistically." No one streaked across the sky until lunch, and it was Ax who did rather than Tobias, who had been held hostage. | |

No Biochemical Barriers | |
| Parting the Clouds (Fanfic) / int_17058a90 | comment |
No Biochemical Barriers: When on other planets, the Animorphs need to be studied for the locals to verify that they can eat their food, but there haven't been any real problems in any species sourcing food on other planets. | |

| Parting the Clouds (Fanfic) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Remember Rachel's shrew morph that she never used again in the original books? Well, she's forced to do it after pushing off the Kandrona device as an elephant and was running ragged. As a shrew, she doesn't need to fly and can be carried (by Tobias). | |

| Parting the Clouds (Fanfic) / int_2e528f4e | comment |
What Measure Is a Non-Cute??: The Animorphs have a lot of sympathy for human and hork-bajir hosts, but as of yet, no thought at all has been given to the taxxons. | |

Colorblind Confusion | |
| Parting the Clouds (Fanfic) / int_3091fc4f | comment |
Colorblind Confusion: Cassie and Jake are revealed to have a case of this (and the same type, too) as they confuse the colors of Visser One's soldiers as white-and-black, and Visser Three's as mustard. Marco, who isn't colorblind and was the POV character in the original story being covered at the time, promptly realizes this and corrects them. | |

La Résistance | |
| Parting the Clouds (Fanfic) / int_34dd5f3 | comment |
La Résistance: This time around, the Animorphs (plus the Chee, the free Hork-Bajir, and the Yeerk Peace Movement later on) aren't the only groups resisting the Yeerk invasion. There's also the Star Defenders, and who knows who else the Animorphs don't know, and they made a point to not find out; if they ever get Controlled again, there's no point in bringing them all down with them. | |

Stable Time Loop | |
| Parting the Clouds (Fanfic) / int_37690091 | comment |
Stable Time Loop: The Incubation, just like The Forgotten in the original, is about resolving a Sario Rip. The twist is, the Animorphs now know it's coming thanks to Cassie convincing Jake to share his visions to the group, and they have to figure out how to make sure they survive it. Ultimately, the problem resolved itself just like in canon, but in this version, the Animorphs get to take home a stripped Bug Fighter. | |

| Parting the Clouds (Fanfic) / int_6411dac8 | comment |
Badass Normal: In a world of mind-controlling slugs, auto-healing shapeshifters and ultra-strong alien robots, the Star Defenders survive by... being kinda good at gymnastics. And we get Capt. Torreli in The Endemic, who tussles with a hork-bajir, and body-flips her over. And this feat is enough for all other Controllers to be stunned in disbelief long enough for him to escape and for Ax to get between him and the enemy. | |

TheMasquerade | |
| Parting the Clouds (Fanfic) / int_7095c87e | comment |
The Masquerade: Both the yeerks and the Animorphs have a vested interest in keeping the war for Earth a secret from the masses. The yeerks don't want an open war because it would destroy so many valuable host bodies, and the Animorphs don't want one because the yeerks would inevitably win, killing hundreds of thousands of people in the process. The Animorphs, knowing that the yeerks have a better capacity to cover up Masquerade breaches, occasionally use this to their advantage, either by leaving their own mess for the yeerks to clean up or deliberately pushing fights into populated areas, knowing that the yeerks will have to give up the chase to avoid far too many witnesses. | |

| Parting the Clouds (Fanfic) / int_950bbfa7 | comment |
Take a Third Option: In The Offer, on top of what they do in canon with what the Ellimist "provides", they accept his other offer…on the condition that the Animorphs remain to fight. What this means exactly is that it's other people who are taken to the Ellimist's refuge planet instead of the Animorphs. | |

The Needs of the Many | |
| Parting the Clouds (Fanfic) / int_9a3b7208 | comment |
The Needs of the Many: Early in the series, a recurring disagreement between Marco and the rest of the Animorphs on whether they were obligated to risk their lives for the chance to save the world was prominent. Since Marco found his reason for fighting, the argument has been between Cassie and the other Animorphs, over how many innocent lives it is acceptable to sacrifice to maximise their chances of saving the planet. | |

Born Unlucky: The Aftran Cassie meets talks about her Pool and her kin experiencing misfortune that claimed much of them throughout the years, and that out of the under-hundred that survived their birth, only four made it to the Earth Yeerk Pool. And two of them were lost when the oatmeal formula contaminated the Pool, and as stated before one of them was killed by Cassie. | |

Saw It in a Movie Once: Despite claiming she doesn't know how to make fire, Karen/Aftran ends up doing so anyway later on to Cassie's surprise. The Controller invokes this trope and is surprised by how easy she pulled it off. Subverted in that she actually used a Dracon beam to light the firewood. | |

And this time, the order is not only different, but has a logical pattern in the form of thought-speak range: shortest to longest, Rachel, Marco, Jake, Cassie, Tobias, Ax. | |
