Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })One of the most seminal pieces of Sword and Sorcery was Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser series of short stories and novellas. Set in the world of Nehwon (except for one story set on Earth), often in the city of Lankhmar, it starred Fafhrd, a seven-foot tall barbarian from the North, and the Mouser, a trickster thief and former wizard's apprentice, who find and befriend each other one day. To quote Wikipedia: "They spend a lot of time drinking, feasting, wenching, brawling, stealing, and gambling, and are seldom fussy about to whom they hire their swords. But they are humane and — most of all — relish true adventure."A massive source for inspiration for much of modern roleplaying, specifically Dungeons & Dragons, either directly or indirectly, and pretty much any swashbuckling fantasy story written after about 1970 or so probably owes a debt to these stories. The fact that the most important city in most of the Discworld stories is called Ankh-Morpork is absolutely no coincidence, too; expies of Fafhrd and the Mouser show up in the first chapter of the first book, after all.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The pair weren't entirely Leiber's creation, but a joint effort between him and his friend Harry Otto Fischer. (Fafhrd being loosely based on Leiber and Mouser on Fischer.) Fischer's only story contribution was "The Tale of the Grain Ships", which was ultimately integrated into Leiber's The Swords of Lankhmar. Leiber would end up writing the series but was always insistent on equally crediting Fischer for the pair's creation. There are seven books containing all the stories: Swords and Deviltry, Swords Against Death, Swords in the Mist, Swords Against Wizardry, The Swords of Lankhmar, Swords and Ice Magic, and The Knight and Knave of Swords. There is also the authorized novel sequel Swords Against the Shadowland by Robin Wayne Bailey. | |

Double Standard: Rape, Divine on Mortal: Mouser got raped by the Goddess of Pain (which he sort-of enjoyed). She's a goddess—what are you going to do? Complain? | |

Heroic RRoD | |
| Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser / int_1440584e | comment |
Heroic RRoD: In one of the stories the villain fights the lightning-quick Mouser to a standstill — for a while. When defeated the tremendous overstrain caused the villain's corpse to go into immediate rigor mortis. Or at least, the heroes think it's rigor mortis... The truth is much more bizarre. | |

White Man's Burden | |
| Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser / int_1effdd6b | comment |
White Man's Burden: A really twisted version of this is used to justify the ghouls' cannibalism; they believe themselves to be the most enlightened and civilized race of all, as represented by their translucent flesh, so "transmuting the muddy to the pure" (read: digesting humanoid flesh) is elevating the souls of the inferior other races. | |

Shapeshifter Baggage | |
| Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser / int_30509b6d | comment |
Shapeshifter Baggage: In The Swords of Lankhmar, a shrinking potion does, in fact, displace mass, as the now rat-sized Mouser has to swim his way out of a good-sized puddle of meat, cloth fibers, and metal fragments (flesh, clothes, armor, and weapons). Later, he grows back to his full size away from that puddle, and the mass is taken from nearby objects (and people!), stripping some enemy Mooks of armor and weapons— and giving a nearby fat girl a magical liposuction. Great news for her, Squick for the Mouser? | |

Always Chaotic Evil | |
| Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser / int_4832a3bb | comment |
Always Chaotic Evil: Averted. Some races are definitely on the nastier side, such as the cannibalistic Ghouls, but there's always exceptions. The antagonistic rat-people from The Swords of Lankhmar are antagonists for a genuine reason rather than being generically evil, and not only do ghouls have a reason for their hostility to other races (by their own rationale, at least), but there are those who have broken away from their culture. | |

Trickster Mentor | |

Trickster Mentor: Ningauble and Sheelba may fall into this, as they send Fafhrd and the Mouser off on some wacky adventures — stealing the mask of Death or the highest star from the sky, for instance. Also invoked in the fact that Fafhrd and The Mouser are both paired off with the wizard least compatible to their personality: The wry and story-loving Mouser is paired with the incredibly terse Sheelba, who rebuffs any of The Mousers attempts at building a rapport; while the upfront and to-the-point Fafhrd finds himself working for voluble Ningauble, a lot of which involves him standing around while the wizard drones on and on. | |

Intercontinuity Crossover: In the 1970s, they appeared in a Wonder Woman comic (Catwoman's in it, too!). DC Comics was starting up a comics adaptation of the Leiber stories, so this guest appearance was probably considered as a fairly standard in-house crossover, meant to promote the new comic. | |

Author Appeal | |
| Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser / int_6627695f | comment |
Author Appeal: The heavy BDSM overtones of some of the romantic and sexual scenes, especially in some of the later stories as taste-and-decency standards were relaxed, though Fafhrd is something of an Author Avatar throughout. | |

Comic-Book Adaptation | |

Comic-Book Adaptation: During the height of Conan the Barbarian's popularity over at Marvel Comics, DC tried launching a series based on Fafhrd and the Mouser. It didn't last very long, but did result in a very fun (if improbable) crossover story with Wonder Woman. | |

Both during the events of "When the Sea-King's Away" (with a pair of Sea Witches with gills and membranes between their fingers) | |

Medium Awareness: In the origin story Ill Met in Lankhmar, the Mouser's response when Fafhrd introduces himself is to ask how "Fafhrd" is pronounced. Fafhrd also made sure to carefully spell it out to him, because else he couldn't have known how it was spelled, since they were, you know, speaking. | |

Brains and Brawn | |

Brains and Brawn: Massively averted. Fafhrd is single-minded, but sometimes has as many utility skills as the Gray Mouser. The Mouser, while conspicuously intelligent, is inclined to let his ego lead him into foolhardy actions. To make it more plain, it's usually the Mouser who does the most damage and fights the toughest fights. | |

Decon-Recon Switch | |
| Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser / int_e0113647 | comment |
Decon-Recon Switch: The series started out as a good natured semi-parody of Conan the Barbarian and his imitators, but ended up being so influential that it became a foundational work of the genre itself. | |

Play-Along Prisoner: In The Knight and Knave of Swords, the Gray Mouser captures a girl and ties her up. She submits to this at the time, but later she grows spines out of her body and uses them to cut through the bindings. | |

Mars Needs Women | |
| Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser / int_e4d9e13b | comment |
Mars Needs Women: Gender-inversed. In one of the novels, a mountain-dwelling race of invisible people is on the brink of extinction, as almost all their males have become sterile. They decide to send a call for human heroes in order to breed with them: by their calculations, the invisibility will breed true. The catch is, their king doesn't intend to let said heroes to have sex with the invisible girls: he prefers more, shall we say, cutting methods of extracting genetic material. | |

Earth Drift | |
| Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser / int_eb76a524 | comment |
Earth Drift: The first Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories Leiber wrote (as opposed to the first published) took place on Earth, before the world of Lankhmar was written into the series, with the result that when collected, some lines had to be added explaining why they were on Earth. | |

Cartwright Curse | |
| Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser / int_edc22fe8 | comment |
Cartwright Curse Girl of the Week: They almost always have love interests, they never seem to last from one story to the next. Eventually averted in the final tales of the series when both the heroes got two new steady girlfriends. | |

Basso Profundo: Fafhrd is a bass but pitches his voice tenor to sing. When he gets religion in Lean Times in Lankhmar, this starts gossip that he accidentally castrated himself when he broke his sword over his knee. | |

Unbuilt Trope | |
| Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser / int_f0e85546 | comment |
Unbuilt Trope: Popularised the Brains and Brawn pairing in heroic fantasy. However, it's repeatedly stressed in the novels that Fafhrd is just as intelligent as the Mouser - he just doesn't show it off as much, leading enemies to underestimate him. | |

I Call It "Vera" | |
| Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser / int_faf5732b | comment |
I Call It "Vera": Fafhrd has a broadsword named Graywand and a poniard named Heartseeker. The Mouser has a rapier named Scalpel and a dirk named Cat's Claw. Leiber plays with this one, though, by having the pair lose their weapons all the time. They just use those names for whatever blades they happen to be carrying at the moment. The Cat's Claw gets referenced by a number of early Square RPGs (Final Fantasy, SaGa), appearing as a store-bought dagger/sword that's usually one of the better daggers in the games. Later games seemed to have forgotten the original reference and made the Cat Claw/Cat Claws into an actual paw-shaped glove weapon with claws. | |
