Retro Chill is a Crossover of sorts between two Calvin and Hobbes Script Fic trilogies - Swing123's series (consisting of Calvin and Hobbes: The Movie, Calvin and Hobbes II: Lost at Sea, and Calvin and Hobbes III: Double Trouble) and garfieldodie's series (consisting of Can You Imagine That?, Attack of the Teacher Creature, and Trouble Island). It is perhaps the turning point in the Calvinverse - two previously unrelated stories come together to form a cohesive whole.Fittingly, Retro and Rupert & Earl Chill have teamed up to get their archenemy - our six-year-old protagonist. They successfully abduct him, leaving behind an Evil Knockoff to fool the other four protagonists. Now, Calvin must escape the ship before everything goes kaput.A rewrite has been completed, acting as the Grand Finale of the rewritten Calvinverse. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Retro Chill (Fanfic) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Rupert and Earl's friendship breaking down is not unlike a toxic, sometimes abusive, relationship, as Earl tries to hold everything together despite how dangerous Rupert is before finally having to admit that he needs to abandon him for Earl's own good, as well as for the crew and their planet. Dr Brainstorm explaining to his family that he isn't evil is depicted not unlike someone coming out of the closet. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Retro Chill (Fanfic) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: After Socrates uses the Time Pauser, Andy pockets it for safekeeping. Later, in Chapter 13, he and Sherman flee from some guards and end up activating it. Better yet, the very first chapter has Calvin using the Time Pauser to extend summer vacation, and Hobbes asks "what happens when you touch the button again, but I'm not touching you? Do I stay here in the point where time doesn't exist?" Seventeen chapters later, Hobbes remembers this moment and comes up with a plan to trap the villains in paused time forever. The original "gun" comes up again, as Andy apparently dropped it - leading Retro to get it. Another incredibly long wait between reappearances: the guitar used in the climax of Calvin and Hobbes: The Movie is used again to get Calvin out of a force field. The gun used at the end of Trouble Island (helpfully pointed out by the narration) is used again to revert things back the way they were. | |

Breaking Speech: Retro attempts this when he informs Calvin of his theory that everything that's happened since Can You Imagine That? is a result of the original Imaginator imprinting on Calvin's subconscious, giving him the real friends he had always yearned for, enemies that he could defeat on his own, and a chance to be the hero. Whether or not this is true, it's never confirmed, but Calvin refuses to believe it either way. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall: The pay off to the Running Gag about Socrates' vlog has him thanking his viewers and talking about ending his video series, which could also be construed as speaking to the viewers at home about the end of the Calvinverse. During the epilogue, the gang talks about some of their adventures in a manner that sounds like the authors sharing their opinions on said adventures (wishing they gave the story where Andy was mistaken for a pharaoh a follow-up, for example). | |

Challenging the Bully: Moe returns one last time for Calvin to stop him from picking on Susie in an epic (non-violent) Curb-Stomp Battle. The best part is that, as Calvin points out, Moe is so low on Calvin's threat list by this point that there's not even a hint of fear for him. It shows just how much Calvin has changed over the years. | |

Heel–Face Turn | |
| Retro Chill (Fanfic) / int_617f0563 | comment |
Heel–Face Turn: Dr Brainstorm starts heading this way through the story, but he briefly contemplates a Heel Face Turn Slam when his fan club points out he could use the monsters to take over the world. Thankfully, Jack talks him out of it, and he plays this trope completely straight. Also, the alien crew finally defect away from Rupert when Earl shows them the Cold-Blooded Torture that he and Retro are inflicting on Calvin, and they decide to stand up to Rupert's cruelty. Earl, meanwhile, seems to be undergoing more of a Hazy-Feel Turn, as while he hasn't exactly renounced his evil ways, he recognizes that Rupert is going too far, and is acting more out of pragmatism - protecting the people of Zok - than any kinship with the heroes. | |

Villainous B So D: Rupert has reached his all-time low at the beginning of this story. After his last defeat at Calvin's hands after Calvin and Hobbes III: Double Trouble, he's lost the will to do anything but stew in his own hatred for the boy, leaving the last remnants of his empire to continue crumbling around him. Dr Brainstorm has entered a more tragic one, as he seems to finally be aware of how small the odds are of him finally taking over the world, leading him into a fit of depression that Jack is having trouble shaking him from. Earl enters one when Calvin saves his life. He's not used to someone looking out for him, never mind a mortal enemy. | |

And then we've got the Entity, who is manipulating all these parties for its own ends. | |

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Exploited by Calvin against the titular villains. Retro, during his Breaking Speech (described above), brags to Calvin about his intentions to destroy Rupert as well since he doesn't see the alien as real. In the final battle, once he's rendered defenseless, Calvin immediately begins asking Rupert what he will do once Retro turns on him. A few moments later, Rupert demands the Imaginator from Retro, who refuses to give it up, and the rest is history. | |

Susie herself later takes a level when helping interrogate one of the monsters, taking advantage of its hatred of cuteness to torture the answers out of it. | |

| Retro Chill (Fanfic) / int_cb70651c | comment |
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Just what exactly is Hobbes? How are all of Calvin's adventures real? The story's answer: it doesn't matter. Theories are presented, such as Retro believing that Calvin's first altercation with the Imaginator left his imprint on the universe, creating enemies for him to beat, but it's never definitely stated whether this is true. Hobbes' nature, meanwhile, is hinted to be connected to the Entity, as it greets him as "old friend" when they briefly encounter, but Hobbes himself doesn't seem sure, despite feeling a small degree of recognition upon seeing him. In any case, by the end of the story, he has a super-vague idea of what he is, but he's decided it's irrelevant. What's really important is being Calvin's best friend. | |

Double Subversion | |
| Retro Chill (Fanfic) / int_e407c52e | comment |
Double Subversion: When Socrates finally learns about his transmitter chip, he marches over to Sherman, plucks him up, and... begins laughing. After everyone else starts laughing, he abruptly stops and angrily tells him to take it out. | |

Insignificant Little Blue Planet: The planet selector's explanation of Earth is "home to the most obsolete and stupidest aliens in the universe, THE EARTHLINGS!" Calvin argues against it, but the voice simply tells him that they're always fighting and have never visited another planet. He can't argue with that. | |

Brick Joke | |
| Retro Chill (Fanfic) / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: In Chapter 7, Evil Calvin complains about the quality of a certain vendor's chocolate ice cream, planning to sue. Later, in Chapter 13, he asks Fake Mom and Fake Dad for some chocolate ice cream - specifically better than the vendor's. (He's still planning to sue, too.) An early chapter has Sherman biting Socrates' ear. In Chapter 13, Sherman responds to a disparaging remark of his with "Come closer so that I may bite you," prompting Socrates to back away and rub his ear. Another early chapter has Calvin playing mock-Jeopardy! with an alien. Much later, in Chapter 14, an alien responds to a question with "I'll take weird creature for 500, please." | |
