The Stations of the Canon	comment	The inevitable result of a Point of Divergence, Peggy Sue, or Role Swap AU Fic: You move across the plot points of the original from that point onward, with the intent of showing how the story has changed due to whatever factor has been added to the story. These events tend to be quite fixed, and thus they can, when done poorly, come across as merely crossing over The Stations of the Canon, rather than an actual plot, which is where this trope gets its name. For example, if you have "Harry Potter raised by someone else" Fanfic, you must cross over the Stations of The Letter From Hogwarts, The Visit To Diagon Alley, The Trip To Hogwarts, The Sorting Hat, and, depending on how you play things, The Troll, all the way up to The Confrontation With Voldemort — all iconic moments that establish key points of the setting or characterization as the fandom knows it. In most cases, the reason for doing this is to show just how the divergence(s) has changed the story. Sometimes (but not always) this brings up Fridge Logic involving In Spite of a Nail; no matter what changes have already been made in the characters or setting, the plot somehow twists to allow it to cross the Stations. (If the events in question are on a schedule that has nothing to do with what happens to the protagonist, this particular problem does not appear. After all, if Harry still goes to Hogwarts, he's gotta be sorted by the Hat no matter how different he's become from canon.) At the very worst, the story will be exactly the same as the original just with a few changes in the details. Some authors attempt to minimize this trope by either describing the events from a different perspective or simply skipping over a Station with only minimal description of the events. After all, the audience has most likely already read/seen/played through those events, no need to make them go over it again (the obvious exception being a Crossover fic, where a prospective half of the readers might not have done so—in which case there can be two potential sets of Stations to pull from, more if more series are involved). This trope is named after the Stations of the Cross, a traditional sequence of 14 (or 15) iconic scenes from the Passion and crucifixion of Jesus Christ in Christian doctrine; in this regard, the revisitation of canonical scenes in an adaptation or a derivative work can be compared to an iconic guided tour allowing pilgrims to Jerusalem to literally follow in Christ's steps. Coincidentally, the "stations" evoke the image of a railroad to indicate that the plot hasn't gone Off the Rails. Remember that Tropes Are Tools: Fanfiction stories can play this trope reasonably straight and still be good stories. Examples should be of works whose fanfic show this tendency, rather than individual fanfics. Connected to Broad Strokes: how broadly the events are painted relates to how many Stations the work bothers crossing. On the other hand, when you hit the broad stroke of a Station the fine details can also be changed up. Compare with In Spite of a Nail.

The Stations of the Canon / int_109f7814	comment	Sherlock AU fanfiction, for some reason, usually seems to avert this trope. Depending on the writer, the re-imagining of the canon cases can be very clever, in the same way that the show itself stays true to the original works while still being new.

The Stations of the Canon / int_1331990c	comment	Puella Magi Madoka Magica has about twelve episodes, each with at least one important event happening in each of them. note For those curious: The encounter with the Anthonies, Mami's fight with Gertrud, her death, Sayaka's contracting, her fight with Kyouko, Puella Magi revelation #1, Sayaka's insanity, Puella Magi revelation #2, Kyouko's death, Homura's flashback, the confrontation with Walpurgisnacht, and finally Madoka's Wish. It's almost impossible for a Fix Fic to not go along the plotted line until it starts making its changes, though those who really want to get the ball rolling usually start around the third episode's event. A trend in fanfics that cover Homura's other timelines tend to imply that things will always happen as they did as we see them in the episodes mentioned above, which actually goes against hints in the episode that introduced the concept fully, where things are clearly not identical between timelines even beyond what Homura implicitly changes. This tends to mostly involve Mami dying and Sayaka turning into a Witch in the same way and same time in each timeline.

The Stations of the Canon / int_1367cea0	comment	Worm fics that replace Taylor's original power with something else usually still have the locker as her trigger event, a run-in with Lung that she'll win, joining the Undersiders or Wards, the Undersiders bank robbery, Leviathan as the first Endbringer that comes bythough given the Endbringer "schedule" that is one of the setting's rules, the only way to avoid this one is by completely not having it show up at all, a visit from the Slaughterhouse 9... The confrontation and inevitable defeat of Coil always happens; however, exactly when it happens is a variable. Amusingly, the Armsmaster-branded underpants Taylor mentions once owning seem to be a popular mention.

The Stations of the Canon / int_1484a16e	comment	Again, as described above, Philosopher's Stone stations include Harry's versions of the above, plus The Troll and The Confrontation With Quirrell. There's a high chance of the viewpoint character successfully retrieving the Stone from the Mirror, even in cases such as a Peggy Sue where they should realize that the Stone is safest where it is. Oh God, Not Again! splits the difference, with Harry knowing that retrieving the stone is unnecessary, but this time he also brings in Neville, who does not. This being the first book, the stations are more influential here.

The Stations of the Canon / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach: The Soul Society Arc is usually a given in any fic that involves Ichigo receiving Rukia's powers as in canon regardless of any other changes, as the fallout of said actions coupled with Aizen's manipulations need to happen assuming Aizen is going to remain the Big Bad. Even if said events don't necessarily play out the same way, Ichigo and Byakuya will have their showdown, Aizen will make his dramatic reveal and obtain the Hogyoku, and the status quo of Soul Society will change. This likely has to do with the popularity of said arc. Everything after that, however, while it might use the characters later introduced, is usually fair game.

It gets very noticeable in Kingdom Hearts II, where most of the worlds' events are "The plot from the movie, but with Sora, Donald, and Goofy." On the mild plus side, there's a second, non-Station following episode for every world.

The group goes hunting for tanks. The group has a practice battle. The crew fights St. Gloriana, often with a different outcome.

The Stations of the Canon / int_28508de	comment	Winx Club: Enforced because, as explained below, it allows to create new merchandise every season. There are two levels in which this trope occurs: within the original show and across media works. Regarding the former, every season follows more or less the same order of events: 1) the Winx are minding their own business, 2) either a new threat lets itself know or an often-new character calls for the Winx's help, 3) the Winx have an encounter with the season's Big Bad and find themselves outmatched, 4) Faragonda introduces a new fairy transformation that is either more powerful or more fitting for the mission at hand, 5) the Winx go on a quest to earn said transformation and they either do it all six at once or one by one, 6) the Winx kick the Trix's asses with their new transformation, 7) the Winx have a final confrontation against the villain, they win, and 8) the throw a party/concert at Alfea or the Frutti Music Bar. Additionally, the Trix tend to earn new witch transformations as well, but the time has varied greatly. As of late (season fourth onward), the formula has been expanded to accommodate for more new transformations each. The only seasons to have deviated from this formula are the first and the fourth but are still within that general framework. Regarding the latter, the aforementioned stations are something that is replicated in miniature in the comics issues from time to time — there are quite a few comic-only transformations, in fact. The same happens with some of the books. The exception is the video games where often the Winx and Trix already have their respective transformations.

The Stations of the Canon / int_30a5ebfd	comment	Naruto: Good luck finding any Divergence Fic that does stealing the scroll, the Wave Country mission, or the Chuunin Exams with any amount of creativity. The Wave mission is really the worst offender. There must be around 50,000 versions of it and they usually end up the same way as in canon, with the usual exception that Haku (and sometimes even Zabuza) survives. Strangely, a common scene to see is so minor that people often forget it at all: the first meeting between Team 7 and the Suna Team. Shikamaru is almost always among the first (if not the only one) of the Konoha 12 to become ChÅ«nin pre-timeskip. Sasuke performs a Faceâ€“Heel Turn.

The Stations of the Canon / int_35e05f2a	comment	RWBY suffers from this hard. Less than six months after the first episode came out, there were already over 1,100+ fanfics. And no matter whether they starred an OC, someone from another show, or just an alternate version of a major character, almost all of them hit this trope. Years later, many of these fanfics still continue to religiously address every minute plot beat of the first season, no matter how many other things the author may have changed about the plot. We will get the Ruby and Torchwick robbery scene. We will get a bullhead scene where Yang hugs Ruby to death and/or Jaune vomits from airsickness. We will get Ruby dustneezing Weiss, who will get promptly called out by Blake. We will get someone helping Ruby up. Etcetera, et cetera, and most of the dialogue will be completely unaltered. Things usually ease up after that first season, though.

The Stations of the Canon / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Almost every single Dragon Ball game covers most of the events of the series in order (specifically, the Z portion — GT often gets a token nod and the original Dragon Ball will get one if it's lucky). This means a lot of games where you fight Raditz, Nappa, Vegeta, Frieza's henchmen including the Ginyu Force, Frieza, the Androids, Cell, either Majin Vegeta or Dabura, and then various forms of Buu. In Dragon Ball Xenoverse and its sequel, it's your job to enforce them (albeit in Broad Strokes, since now It's Up to You). One of the more notable recent exceptions to this is Dragon Ball Fighter Z, which has a completely original storyline—Starter Villain Raditz not being playable is likely a reason why.

The Stations of the Canon / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter: As described above, Year One will have The Letter From Hogwarts, The Visit To Diagon Alley, The Trip To Hogwarts, and The Sorting Hat. These stations are particularly special in that they'll often take place in any fic that contains a Year One, even if it's not Harry's Year One. Fan-Created Offspring, Self-Insert Original Character, Peggy Sue, you name it, if the main character is eleven, they will do these things. Again, as described above, Philosopher's Stone stations include Harry's versions of the above, plus The Troll and The Confrontation With Quirrell. There's a high chance of the viewpoint character successfully retrieving the Stone from the Mirror, even in cases such as a Peggy Sue where they should realize that the Stone is safest where it is. Oh God, Not Again! splits the difference, with Harry knowing that retrieving the stone is unnecessary, but this time he also brings in Neville, who does not. This being the first book, the stations are more influential here. Chamber of Secrets stations include Lockhart's Book-Signing, Dobby Blocking Platform 9 3/4 (which doesn't necessarily proceed to Stealing The Anglia or Ron's Wand Breaking), Mrs. Norris's Petrification, Several Miscellaneous Other Petrifications (which don't necessarily happen to the same characters as canon), The Kidnapping (which only usually happens to Ginny), Lockhart Tries A Memory Charm (which often goes differently, especially if Ron's wand didn't break), and The Confrontation With Diarymort. Rarely shown on-screen but invariably implicit to the year's events is the station of Lucius Planting Tom's Diary, which again only usually happens to Ginny. And in an inversion, because the basilisk kills nobody in canon despite having a lethal gaze, most fics will do the same, with some going one further than canon and giving an explicit reason for this rather than a series of coincidences. Contrariwise, some fics will forget that the basilisk's gaze is supposed to be deadly at all, and act like petrification is explicitly its power. If a fic goes on into a character's seventh year, usually something will happen to them make them miss the end of the school year or the whole seventh year just like the main characters. This is because there isn't much known about how Hogwarts students celebrate the end of their schooling, and it just isn't in the fans' consciousness. (One thing is certain, though — there would not be a "graduation ceremony", because in the UK, "graduation" refers to finishing university, not school.)

The Stations of the Canon / int_409683e7	comment	Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse further discusses the Stations, as Miguel O'Hara believes them to be a fundamental truth of being a Spider-Person; breaking from "Canon Events" will lead to the destruction of an entire universe. He flat-out thinks that Miles is a paradox who shouldn't exist and will inevitably doom his world, while ignoring proof in front of his face that Canon Events are fairly malleable, such as the continued existence of Earth-42 (which never got its Spider-Man) and Gwen Stacy safely co-existing with her father, a police captain who was "supposed" to die saving a child but was saved... by Miguel himself, ironically.

The Stations of the Canon / int_41b0198a	comment	Discussed in the RPG rulebook for The Dresden Files. In one section about what to do with the eponymous wizarding PI, it mentions that whatever you decide to do with him, there are some defining events of the setting that need to be taken into account—usually because Dresden himself was in a wholly unique position that let him stop The End of the World as We Know It. Therefore, if you go the "kill off Harry in the background" route, the GM needs to either figure out a way that the world continues to not be a Zombie Apocalypse, or perhaps have the player characters deal with it.

The Stations of the Canon / int_44fe781e	comment	Neon Genesis Evangelion: Shinji's "reunion" with his father, the battle with the Third Angel, etc. Many have described the EVA canon as one of the most stiff and rigid to bend for fanfic purposes without going to full-blown Alternate Continuity. After all, nothing any of the characters do can change the Angels showing up in that precise time and order. Subverted with Rise of the Minisukas. In spite of the presence of the Minisukas, the story seems to stick closely to the canon's main points as usual for the first chapters: Shinji arrives in Tokyo-3, fights Sachiel, meets Toji and Kensuke, fights Ramiel alongside Rei...until the Sixth Angel turns out to be a fusion of Gaghiel and Rebuild's Seventh Angel. From that point on, the arrival of different Angels (taken from other Eva continuities, videogames, and even tabletop games) completely changes the original sequence of events...much to the annoyance of the Minisuka Leader (who trusted on her knowledge of the original timeline to keep Shinji safe) and even Gendo and Keel Lorenz, (whose knowledge stemming from Dead Sea Scrolls have become utterly useless).

The Stations of the Canon / int_47dfc6f	comment	Total Drama: Season remakes, especially Season 1 remakes, tend to follow both major and minor canonical events very closely in the early going. It often takes several chapters for these stories to find their own path. Rehashing contestant arrivals/introductions almost verbatim, including much canonical dialogue, is more the rule than the exception. A few of these remakes omit the contestant arrivals/introductions altogether, covering it all with a note stating that they're the same as in the original. If there are new characters, they tend to arrive last and have little interaction with the canonical cast. Some remakes even keep the first few eliminations unchanged. Rewrites are bound to have at least one canon relationship remain intact, primarily Courtney/Duncan, Geoff/Bridgette, Gwen/Trent, and/or Alejandro/Heather, even if it doesn't get the same level of Relationship Upgrade as canon. The characters' dynamics will likely remain similar, such as Courtney and Duncan having Belligerent Sexual Tension. If a Season 1 remake retains Heather as the villain, which is quite common, she will typically ally with Lindsay and Beth (maybe with one or more people added/replacing Beth) during the Awake-a-Thon challenge, just as in canon. She will also typically get a canon-like humiliation conga when she finally goes down in flames. Rewrites of All-Stars almost always keep Mal as the season villain, even if the author hates Mal. The difference usually lies in how he's defeated.

The Stations of the Canon / int_4817e818	comment	The Lord of the Rings-based game Lord of the Rings: The Third Age, despite ostensibly being based on a new cast of characters, follows the events of the films very closely (largely due to the main characters literally following right behind the Fellowship). This means the game starts with roving around Eriador and getting nearly killed by Nazgul, then going into Moria and reaching Balin's tomb before facing the balrog, then meeting elves in Lothlorien, then fighting Saruman's scouts, then traveling into Rohan and facing raiding parties before joining in at Helm's Deep, then the battles of Osgiliath and Pelennor. This was apparently enforced due to rights issues: EA only owned the rights to the films, and therefore couldn't draw on book material unless it had roots in the films. This meant that exploring anywhere other than what was shown in the films was a no-go.

The Stations of the Canon / int_49a87cb3	comment	Final Fantasy VII: Given the rather linear progression of the canon story, there are quite a few stations that fanfic authors tend to check in at. If the story starts in Midgar, we will have the first job to destroy the reactor, and then the next, falling into the church to meet the flower girl, interrogating Don Corneo (often with someone crossdressing if the one joining Tifa and Aerith is a male), the destruction of Sector 7, and finally the storming of Shinra tower. In some cases, the entire Midgar section can be skipped, but even if it is, there are still stations from later parts of the game that seemingly must be hit; at some point, they will go to the Temple of the Ancients to retrieve the Black Materia, followed by Aerith going to the Forgotten Capital to summon Holy (roll of the dice as to whether or not she survives in this instance). This will be followed by Meteor appearing and the WEAPONS being released and needing to be dealt with before a final confrontation, usually at the Northern Crater, and ending with the Lifestream being summoned to destroy Meteor before it can destroy the planet.

They'll also often meet consorts, go through their first gate, fight a denizen, become godtier, etc. Understandable though as Sburb is a game and these are necessary in order to both survive and continue playing the game, but it is nevertheless very formulaic.

This particularly affects Metal Gear: Ghost Babel (the only spin-off to be written by Hideo Kojima), where Snake is supported by Mei Ling over the CODEC, infiltrates the fortress via vents, has to identify a female informant in disguise as a guard, finds Metal Gear is in the control of a group of quirky terrorists with animal-based codenames including an Evil Counterpart obsessed with besting him, has to rescue a nerdy young genius responsible for designing Metal Gear, fights a kinky ninja-themed boss, fights a Hind D helicopter, defeats a Noble Demon female villain with a sad backstory about colonialism, defeats the Metal Gear pilot in return for more details about his own tragic backstory, and then has a fistfight with his evil counterpart on top of a nuclear launch platform that's ready to go off, before deciding to enjoy life and driving off with the Damsel in Distress he rescued. The similarities were in fact so strong that the game was billed outside Japan as the Game Boy Color version of Metal Gear Solid.

The Stations of the Canon / int_68c8e9ad	comment	Super Robot Wars: Super Robot Wars K sure feels this way. Instead of combining and reimagining the various stories like other games in the franchise do, most chapters feel basically like "this episode or arc from a series, with scenes copy-pasted and everything", heroes barely interacting and such. Granted, most Super Robot Wars games do this. But most of them are also much better about it, keeping the important consequences of each event (if it isn't already out to subvert them), but often modifying the location, situation, people involved, and sometimes even the reasons they occur. The games also often mix things up by causing important events in different series' to happen at the same time. SRW games' tendency for this gave birth to the "fifty Strike Daggers" meme in China: no matter how ridiculously powerful the player faction is, they'll still be forced to retreat when defending Orb from the Earth Alliance's invasion by fifty Strike Daggers, giving the cheap mass production mobile suit Memetic Badass status. Super Robot Wars Judgment also does this for Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, and to a minor extent Tekkaman Blade and Full Metal Panic!. Granted, it was the first appearance for all three (first handheld appearance for SEED), but they still follow canon VICIOUSLY — You can't keep Mu La Flaga alive, a lot of the game caters to Kira being the only Gundam around despite Mobile Fighter G Gundam being an established part of the story, and a lot of the random events can seem very catering to SEED at times. What makes J and K so jarring is that the game immediately before J on handhelds was Super Robot Wars Destiny, which played the most fast and loose with canon possible (the world disappears at the START of the game), and in-between them was Super Robot Wars W, which contained a lot of J's series but changed events around enough to keep everything very fresh, even for the new arrivals.

The Stations of the Canon / int_7aaf9e41	comment	Batman has several core tenets of its most popular characters. Each lane follows internal stations consistently if they get enough screen time. How fast they move relative to other lanes is up for grabs. Bruce Wayne's origin is always the same: after his parents were murdered in an alley (usually after leaving a theater, bonus points if they were watching Zorro), he devotes himself to a war on crime by training and studying for years and eventually uses his family fortune to become Batman. The Robin lane has its own logic. Starts with Dick Grayson who outgrows the role to become Nightwing. Succeeded by Jason Todd who apparently dies. Succeeded by Tim Drake. Succeeded by Bruce's biological son Damien Wayne. Always in that order. The only caveats being how long Jason is presumed dead before he resurfaces as Red Hood and which Robin(s) are part of the Teen Titans/Young Justice and when relative to other teen heroes. The Joker lane starts with him as a solo villain. Eventually he recruits sidekick/girlfriend Harley Quinn. Harley breaks up with the Joker to become a solo anti-hero, floats between any number of super team-ups note The Suicide Squad, Gotham City Sirens, or Birds of Prey most prominently, but somewhere forms a relationship with Poison Ivy. Darkest Knight: After Bruce Wayne becomes a Green Lantern, Sinestro becomes a Joker-like figure for no reason whatsoever.

It has also courted a certain amount of controversy by hinting that it will not necessarily adhere to the Stations going forward; the Whispers are Time Police keen to keep the game on track with the original Stations, but with their defeat, the timeline appears to be being altered: Biggs and Wedge are still alive, and Zack's fate appears to be deviating from the original canon.

The Stations of the Canon / int_7fc78282	comment	The Lord of the Rings gives us Frodo inheriting the Ring, running from NazgÃ»l, meeting Strider, the Council of Elrond (even if a Tenth Walker has skipped over the previous bits, we invariably get the "and you have my X" lines.), Caradhras, the Mines, Boromir's betrayal, etc. In a similar vein, The Silmarillion has the Darkening of Valinor, the Oath of FÃ«anor, the Kinslaying at AlqualondÃ«, the ships burning at Losgar, FÃ«anor's death, Maedhros's capture, the Battle of Sudden Flame, Fingolfin's duel with Morgoth, Beren and LÃºthien's adventures, and the Battle of Unnumbered Tears. Most fix fics generally wipe the Kinslaying and burning of the ships from history, but despite the significantly better political situation this causes various tragedies still occur.

The Stations of the Canon / int_80e22239	comment	Super Robot Wars Judgment also does this for Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, and to a minor extent Tekkaman Blade and Full Metal Panic!. Granted, it was the first appearance for all three (first handheld appearance for SEED), but they still follow canon VICIOUSLY — You can't keep Mu La Flaga alive, a lot of the game caters to Kira being the only Gundam around despite Mobile Fighter G Gundam being an established part of the story, and a lot of the random events can seem very catering to SEED at times. What makes J and K so jarring is that the game immediately before J on handhelds was Super Robot Wars Destiny, which played the most fast and loose with canon possible (the world disappears at the START of the game), and in-between them was Super Robot Wars W, which contained a lot of J's series but changed events around enough to keep everything very fresh, even for the new arrivals.

The Stations of the Canon / int_877eac68	comment	The Familiar of Zero crossover fics cannot avoid — unless you want to get really creative — including the summoning, since it kickstarts the plot. The bugbear will be mentioned. Most people doing crossovers usually also include the duel with Guiche in some way, as it is where the Saito-substitute gets a chance to show off his/her power, if he did not already do so at the summoning, and prove that (s)he's not a hapless schmuck. And no matter who the familiar is they will have to go to town to buy a sword, usually at the insistence of Louise. Even if they honestly have no reason to just so that they can buy Derflinger. Writers like having the sword around even if the familiar might end up never using it in combat.

The Stations of the Canon / int_8cea2648	comment	Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse: The plot and the framing device of the movie is based on the stations of the Spider-Man canon being so iconic. Radioactive spider bite. Loss of a close relative or friend (usually uncle). With great power comes great responsibility. Takes a leap of faith to become Spider-Man. Saves the city multiple times. Gets knocked down and keeps getting back up. Miles is going through his version of these events for the first time, while surrounded by other Spider-People from alternate universes who have already lived it. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse further discusses the Stations, as Miguel O'Hara believes them to be a fundamental truth of being a Spider-Person; breaking from "Canon Events" will lead to the destruction of an entire universe. He flat-out thinks that Miles is a paradox who shouldn't exist and will inevitably doom his world, while ignoring proof in front of his face that Canon Events are fairly malleable, such as the continued existence of Earth-42 (which never got its Spider-Man) and Gwen Stacy safely co-existing with her father, a police captain who was "supposed" to die saving a child but was saved... by Miguel himself, ironically.

The Stations of the Canon / int_8df5521b	comment	Superman: All-Star Superman hits all the notes of Superman's pre-Metropolis origins in four panels and eight words: "Doomed planet. Desperate scientists. Last hope. Kindly couple." When John Byrne rebooted Superman in the 1980s, the first issue began with his parents on doomed Krypton. Later, Byrne commented that this was dumb of him; he should have let the readers learn the details at the same time as Clark since all the readers knew the basics already. Supergirl's different mainstream origins -The Supergirl From Krypton (1959), The Supergirl from Krypton (2004), Last Daughter of Krypton...- share a basic sequence of events: Kara Zor-El is born in Argo City, her parents Zor-El and Allura -Superman's uncle and aunt- realize that their civilization is doomed, they get their teenager daughter into a rocket to save her life and send her to Earth where they hope she will be safe, and she meets her adult cousin. Speeding Bullets: If Kal-El was raised by the Waynes instead of the Kents, Lex Luthor would be the Joker! Superman: Secret Identity flip-flops on this, partially because of it is supposed to be a real-life-like world. Clark still grows up in a small town and then moves to a big city, swapping a Superboy identity for a Superman identity, gets a writing-related desk job, and marries a Lois (Chaudhari, not Lane)... but no equivalents appear for any other classic Superman characters, such as Lex Luthor, Kara Zor-El or Lana Lang.

The Stations of the Canon / int_8f25225c	comment	Danganronpa: Whether it's a Role Swap AU, a Fusion Fic with another franchise (or many!), or a cast of Original Characters, many fanworks centered on a Deadly Game follow the plot structure of the canon games. Everyone wakes up trapped in a mysterious location and is forced to kill each other by their captor, who may be in the form of an animal (and if so, will sometimes be visually similar to Monokuma, or even be Monokuma himself). Each full chapter will feature free time for exploration and bonding, a temptation to commit murder, the discovery of a corpse and the subsequent investigation, and a trial and execution. In many stories this will usually go on until the sixth chapter, in which a massive disruption in the game allows the remaining cast to confront the mastermind (usually the real Junko Enoshima if she's part of whatever cast is involved in the events of Trigger-Happy Havoc) in a trial, in the process learning whatever Awful Truth forced them together in the first place. If the story is based closely on canon formulas, they may also include other recurring plot elements such as propping up a character to be important just to kill them off in the first chapter or having two people be murdered in the third chapter.

At that point all the main characters are together, though stories (depending on their divergence) often include major plot points like the revelation that Marco's mom is Visser One, one of the characters becoming a Controller and the group having to keep them under guard for three days, meeting the Ellimist, meeting Erek and the Chee, Tobias (or whoever the nothlit is) getting their morphing back, and David finding the blue box (if they get that far).

Despite his increasingly different reactions to the day, in each iteration we repeatedly see some variation of the following elements: the clock in his bedroom switch from 5:59 to 6:00; Phil meeting "Porkchop"note a friendly, somewhat overweight gentleman who greets him on the boarding house staircase with "Morning! Off to see the groundhog? Think it's gonna be an early spring?"; Phil having a conversation with his rather ditzy hostess over coffee; Phil encountering Ned Ryerson ("Bing!") on the street and trying to get away from him; Phil crossing the park where the Groundhog Day celebrations are being held; and the Groundhog Day ceremony itself.

The Stations of the Canon / int_94c1352f	comment	A problem for The Amazing Spider-Man was that it had to introduce Spider-Man to movie audiences, but couldn't follow the standard version (Peter is a hopeless loser, gets bitten by a spider, gains powers, uses powers for personal gain, Uncle Ben warns him against this, does it anyway, Uncle Ben dies, Peter learns responsibility and becomes a true hero) because Spider-Man had done it relatively recently. They mostly got the same message of each plot beat without doing it exactly the same as the comics or previous movie, although the writers were clearly straining to deliver Uncle Ben's message without explicitly saying it outright. It is taken even further in Spider-Man: Homecoming; it's never stated outright that there ever was an Uncle Ben or if Aunt May was a single mother (Aunt?) and Peter's With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility mantra in Captain America: Civil War is even more mangled. There is a character named MJ, although she's not a love interest and Word of God says that she's not Mary-Jane, and that the similarity was meant as a Shout-Out rather than a canon confirmation that they are the same. Their reasoning for all this was, presumably, that because audiences had seen the story done twice in the past 15 years, that they would know the origin story and didn't need to retread it.

The Stations of the Canon / int_960062b7	comment	My Hero Academia fics featuring Midoriya starting without a Quirk will usually feature the bullying of Midoriya by Bakugo, Midoriya's encounter with All Might, and the encounter with the sludge monster to set up the story, and even those where he begins with a Quirk will usually have at least one of those. Those that follow the "Midoriya gets One for All" plot will also include him receiving the Quirk from All Might, though some will have this happen later in the story. Later on, stations include the USJ villain attack, the sports festival, an internship with some pro hero, Iida's encounter with Stain, the final exam, the school trip and subsequent villain attack, All Might's final battle with All for One, and the hero license exam. All of these are justified by either being events put in motion by individuals unaffected by the story changes of the protagonist or fixed parts of the UA curriculum, with the events that don't involve the protagonist in the fic's plot typically still happening offscreen. The Entrance Exam is one that happens often but receives variations as Midoriya rescues his Love Interest in that arc, some people like to use that situation to set up alternate romantic possibilities for him.

Rarely shown on-screen but invariably implicit to the year's events is the station of Lucius Planting Tom's Diary, which again only usually happens to Ginny. And in an inversion, because the basilisk kills nobody in canon despite having a lethal gaze, most fics will do the same, with some going one further than canon and giving an explicit reason for this rather than a series of coincidences. Contrariwise, some fics will forget that the basilisk's gaze is supposed to be deadly at all, and act like petrification is explicitly its power.

The Stations of the Canon / int_9edf7c1d	comment	Issues of What If? often have this problem - especially the issues from the first run, when the modern Marvel universe had less than two decades of material to draw from. The biggest is dealing with changes to the Fantastic Four. Since the first coming of Galactus to Earth was only thwarted by the Four taking very specific actions, any alternate universe where the Four are dead, powerless, never formed, or otherwise must figure out a way to deal with Galactus eventually or suffer The End of the World as We Know It. There is an unpublished issue written and drawn by John Byrne in which Magneto forms the X-Men when Charles Xavier dies. The story builds intriguingly as Magneto draws mutants to his side, who would normally be either X-Men and Brotherhood members in the regular continuity, taking out other superhumans in the name of protecting mutantkind - and it ends with Galactus destroying the Earth because the Fantastic Four were dead and thus unable to stop him. Writing for the Marvel Appendix page, Mikel Midnight sums up the main problem: Captain America being frozen is something that has to be dealt with, as the end of World War II was long before the start of the modern Marvel age, and so even if the Avengers are never formed, Cap is still out there and somebody has to free him. Notably, only one What If story had explicit mention of Cap never being recovered from the ice, while multiple stories are some variant of "What If Cap Were Revived Today?", "today" being the year of publication. This is actually discussed in the story "What if Flash Thompson became Spider-Man?" where Flash finds himself pinned under rubble from Dr. Octopus' lair and finds the strength to escape, mimicking the events of Amazing Spider-Man #33. The Unseen, narrating the story, explains that some events are so critical to the fabric of reality that they would always happen somehow, no matter how divergent the timeline. The tendency reaches its apex in the infamous "What If Frank Castle's family was never killed?", in which Frank Castle's family surviving and him never becoming the Punisher results in... Frank Castle's family being killed and him becoming the Punisher.

There are an astounding number of fanfics that have as their premise Lelouch returning from his death in Zero Requiem to the moment when he got his geass, with all of his memories intact, and still making the same choices, leading to this trope. The only variation is usually that he recruits Jeremiah earlier. He doesn't refuse to kill Clovis, or somehow protect Suzaku from being accused. He doesn't try to recruit Suzaku before killing Clovis, an offer Suzaku very well might have accepted. He never makes use of any of the intelligence he's gathered as Zero. He doesn't attempt to contact Kirihara earlier than in canon. He goes through the whole season, at least up to the SAZ, with an attitude of, "Alright, so this is the part where..." — completely OOC for someone so calculating and creative — it's actually quite like the mode of chess playing that he criticizes typical Britannian nobles for.

These fanfics are invariably based on the anime canon and not the manga canon, so manga-exclusive stations never happen. However, itâ€™s a toss-up as to whether the animeâ€™s Filler arcs get adapted or not.

Instead of combining and reimagining the various stories like other games in the franchise do, most chapters feel basically like "this episode or arc from a series, with scenes copy-pasted and everything", heroes barely interacting and such. Granted, most Super Robot Wars games do this. But most of them are also much better about it, keeping the important consequences of each event (if it isn't already out to subvert them), but often modifying the location, situation, people involved, and sometimes even the reasons they occur.

The Stations of the Canon / int_b1058237	comment	The first three books of the Temeraire series follow the beats of the Napoleonic Wars from the British perspective, but soon the addition of dragons as essentially aerial, rigged-out ships with attitude causes things to veer from history. Things go off the rails as the setting expands outwards from Europe, as dragons act as an equalizer for civilizations that fell to European imperialism—although still hit by disease, most were able to either retain or regain independence. Meanwhile, Trafalgar happens, but Nelson survives, and Napoleon rolls over Prussia even more so, but China, Tswana, and Incans become participants. It's brought in at the end of the series when Napoleon invades Russia, where winter still beats all. The series does not end with Waterloo, but Napoleon is sent to his final residence on St. Helena—had he been placed on Elba, the site of his first, temporary, exile, it would be construed as a Sequel Hook.

The main character of the series has been reincarnated as the main antagonist of the fictitious Video Game "Fortune Lover," and she believes that she is going to inevitably die or be exiled if things continue to follow the original game's Stations of the Canon. This would be a problem if her change in personality from an Alpha Bitch to a Nice Girl as a result of her remembering her past life didn't completely obliterate the game's canon already, unfortunately she doesn't realize it.

The Stations of the Canon / int_b962c879	comment	Fairy Tail: Retellings or crossovers with Fairy Tail that involve The Balam Alliance will usually always consist of the same 3 guilds (OraciÃ³n Seis, Grimoire Heart, and Tartaros) and with almost the exact same line-up as in canon. Naturally, this also means the exact same fights from canon will occur in these fanfics with only minor differences that do not impact the rest of the Stations in any real way. This is because these guilds leave the most impact on the plot, in ways that could cause almost an entirely different story if anything happened to prevent Fairy Tail from having to fight them for whatever reason. At most, some members may have a Heelâ€“Face Turn earlier than they did or have one they never got in canon, but the plot points in the arcs that include them will still happen almost beat-for-beat for the most part. Unless the story is about why certain members of Fairy Tail never end up in the guild, retellings and the like will always have the same events that cause them to join. Much like with the above, this is because certain members of Fairy Tail end up tremendously affecting the plot with their presence, so anyone wanting to keep certain characters or dynamics around will have to make sure these same characters end up as Fairy Tail wizards no matter what other changes they make in their fanfics.

These fanfics are invariably based on the anime canon and not the manga canon, so manga-exclusive stations never happen. However, itâ€™s a toss-up as to whether the animeâ€™s Filler arcs get adapted or not. Frustratingly, oftentimes not only are the events the same as canon, but the turns of the Duels are exactly the same as well, except for a few meaningless differences towards the end.

An early example is a plague that heavily influences where things go, killing her mother and crippling a future character. She informs someone who can do something about it how to treat it and where it starts, and as a result prevents it from ever happening. In spite of this, she's thrown into an utter panic when her mother (who is alive and well) has a second child because she wasn't supposed to. This also happens with the antagonist, Heronia, who tries to follow the Stations (and botches lines when she references events that don't happen as if they did) and gets very upset when they don't work in her favour.

The Stations of the Canon / int_d5ddd6c1	comment	PokÃ©mon: The Series: Most fics featuring Ash (and PokÃ©mon fanfiction in general) challenging gyms will more often than not move akin to the path the games and anime took, with similar events occurring at similar times with similar people and PokÃ©mon. You will rarely see Ash tackle Gyms in different orders, with Pewter always being the first Gym and Viridian the last. The exception is Sabrina's Gym which was challenged fourth in the anime but often gets moved towards its game position as the sixth gym in fanfics, though you will still see it as the fourth gym Ash encounters on occasion. The events of the first episode will nearly always happen as they did canonically, and Ash will always fight Gary. Even in a heavily diverged plot, Ash will always obtain Charizard (even beyond Pikachu), and if possible Greninja. He will always follow up Kanto with the Orange Islands, and he will meet all of his companions. Except the Unovan, Alolan, and Journeys ones. No matter how different Ash's path is before or after the Viridian Forest, even if he doesn't capture his canon Caterpie and Pidgeotto, he will always encounter the Samurai from Episode 4. Of all of the characters of the day he is the most frequently appearing, quite possibly for being the first. Similarly, when a fic does try to shake things up from canon, either by adding game plotlines into the anime or doing additional plotlines between gyms original to the fic, it usually doesn't happen until after the Pewter Gym, making the span of time from Pallet to Viridian to Viridian Forest to Pewter a plot bottleneck.

To their credit, it was a plot hole in canon, but it shows that trying to fill them in doesn't always work out well. Ironically, Dragon Ball Super (which actually is canon) handled this exact situation with a lot more simplicity than Multiverse: the Majin Invasion still happens roughly when it did in DBZ, but this time the Supreme Kai warned Future Trunks and helped train him until he was strong enough to defeat Babidi and his minions before Majin Buu could be released.

Most loopers try to play baseline loops as close to canon as possible, simply because certain events need to happen in order for other events to take place... and chances are that they've seen the consequences of derailing already and don't want to repeat the mistake. However, minor and out-of-the-way activities are usually fine, minor changes that just make it easier on everyone's lives are welcome, and outright cruelties tend to be averted completely unless they're absolutely essential to the grand scheme. There's also the occasion when a looper needs to blow off some steam (because eternal looping life can get weary otherwise) with some elaborate pranks. And then there's the seriously messed up variant loops, where the loopers say "Screw the plot, we're fixing this!"

The Stations of the Canon / int_e5feb1e	comment	Ace Attorney: For whatever reason, a Fix Fic generally only changes one of the Canon Stations: the DL-6 case, the SL-9 case, Diego going into a coma, Mia getting killed by Redd White, Phoenix losing his badge, and the real perpetrators of each of the cases. Though as Trials and Tribulations and Investigations 2 establish, the DL-6 case had a huge impact on the rest of the series canon, to the point where even slightly changing it often creates a radically different Alternate Universe. Many fan games like to imitate the basic formula of the canon games as closely as possible, which goes something like this: first case is a short one against a Warmup Boss Prosecutor like Payne or an Expy of him, with an obvious culprit, but maybe slight ties to the overall Story Arc. Second case introduces the new Prosecutor, who has some gimmick to them, is very antagonistic towards the main lawyer for some unexplained reason, and seems like a Flat Character at first. One or two later cases flesh out the Prosecutor's backstory, explain their reasons for hating the lawyer, and reveal they have ties to a major unsolved case (Usually some kind of "Letter Letter-Number" Incident). Final case connects to this unsolved case from X years ago (playable flashbacks are often involved), often has a major recurring OC as the victim and/or defendant, has a temporary change of prosecutor (the new one is often Edgeworth or Franziska) and eventually leads to the Big Bad behind everything.

The Stations of the Canon / int_ef7b3325	comment	The biggest is dealing with changes to the Fantastic Four. Since the first coming of Galactus to Earth was only thwarted by the Four taking very specific actions, any alternate universe where the Four are dead, powerless, never formed, or otherwise must figure out a way to deal with Galactus eventually or suffer The End of the World as We Know It. There is an unpublished issue written and drawn by John Byrne in which Magneto forms the X-Men when Charles Xavier dies. The story builds intriguingly as Magneto draws mutants to his side, who would normally be either X-Men and Brotherhood members in the regular continuity, taking out other superhumans in the name of protecting mutantkind - and it ends with Galactus destroying the Earth because the Fantastic Four were dead and thus unable to stop him. Writing for the Marvel Appendix page, Mikel Midnight sums up the main problem:

The Stations of the Canon / int_ef8bd4a5	comment	The Mega Man fandom tends to set fics and Sprite Comics based around the games, in order, even if they're alternate universe takes. Particularly popular are Mega Man X4-6, since most comics based on that series use sprites from those games, making them the easiest to recreate. Oddly, one of the "stations" that so many fics and comics feel obligated to touch on both never happened in the games, and in fact has Word of God saying it didn't happen. The idea of "The Cataclysm," an event that supposedly killed off the Mega Man (Classic) cast before the Mega Man X games started, was speculated on then popularized by Bob and George, to the point many fans generally assumed it was canon. As a result, tons of fancomics have some variation on the theme of "Zero goes nuts and kills everyone" — sometimes with a Self-Insert Author Avatar either in Zero's place or stopping Zero. Keiji Inafune later specifically said Zero didn't kill the original cast. (After all, who would be able to seal him away in time for the events leading up to X1 if everyone's dead?)

The Stations of the Canon / int_f6a54e75	comment	Kingdom Hearts: The world-traveling heroes tend to pass through the Stations of Disney Animated Canon either as the events of their respective movies are happening, or right before the start of any exciting plot action. It gets very noticeable in Kingdom Hearts II, where most of the worlds' events are "The plot from the movie, but with Sora, Donald, and Goofy." On the mild plus side, there's a second, non-Station following episode for every world. In spite of this, the first game both played this straight and averted it in equal measure. Some of the Disney worlds followed the movie the world is from down to a tee, with the only difference being that the trio was there to either watch or have a subplot. Others completely deviated from it, often by incapacitating the normal protagonist in a way involving the Heartless somehow. The exceptions to that are Olympus by having Hades run the show but otherwise focus on Sora and co., and Hollow Bastion by having Beast be a party member with his own goal of rescuing Belle. Sora (re)experiencing the events of the first game Station for Station (except for a certain Important Promise) is a plot point in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. In some cases, such as The Little Mermaid (1989), Sora ends up passing through the events of the movie twice.note The first time, the plot of the original film was loosely followed with Ariel wanting something her father Triton forbids, him destroying her grotto, Ursula manipulating Ariel to acquire Triton's trident, and Ursula becoming gigantic in her final battle. The second time more faithfully retold the first film (aside from the absence of Max, Scuttle, and the other humans) by having Ariel seek romance with Eric, and Ursula makes the "voice for legs" deal and becomes Vanessa as part of her bid to sabotage it. Mostly averted in Kingdom Hearts III, where a number of Disney locations end up focusing on other things, presumably in response to complaints about this. Some of them, such as the Toy Story world, even have plots that aren't tied to the movies' ones at all.

The Stations of the Canon / int_f7360065	comment	The LEGO Batman Movie, despite ostensibly being set in the same canon as The LEGO Movie, still has the same origin story as usual: parents murdered, raised by Alfred, becomes Batman. Thankfully, the origin story is so well known that it's scarcely alluded to outside of Batman sadly looking at a painting/picture of a young Bruce, Thomas, and Martha Wayne outside the theater. note Amusingly, the film makes allusions to every single Batman film before as if they're canon, from the 1960s TV show with Adam West to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, no matter how nonsensical.

The Stations of the Canon / int_f9b1e944	comment	The main plot of Maria Clara at Ibarra. It's a Portal Book series for Noli Me Tangere and its Distant Sequel El Filibusterismo. Much of the conflict between protagonist Klay and her teacher Prof. Torres is the former becoming too attached to the characters from the iconic two-part novel that she wants to save them from their tragic fates while the latter keeps insisting that the characters' fates should be preserved due to the novels' cultural and historical importance. Klay ultimately creates an Alternate Continuity, though Prof. Torres doesn't hold it against her.

The Stations of the Canon / int_fb9c177d	comment	Transformers: The Transformers always find themselves chasing a MacGuffin to Earth (yes, Energon counts) after at some point, meet human kids early on, and make them sidekicks, no matter the continuity or how improbable it seems. Megatron and Optimus Prime will have a showdown, lines from the 1986 film battle will probably be spoken at some point (even if the story isn't in that continuity), and Optimus Prime will die. And probably come back to life, usually with an upgrade. Also, Bumblebee is always younger/smaller and Starscream is always, well, The Starscream. Also, Megatron will almost always become Galvatron, though, outside the original, that just means a Palette Swap. Oddly enough, every time a series diverges from the usual characterizations, it often becomes a new Station itself, such as Bumblebee either being mute or playing a stronger role in combat after the live-action film series came out. Also, the stealthy Autobot agent Mirage isn't in most series, but when he is, he will get suspected of treachery. G1 did it, RID did it, and the IDW Comics series has him not knowing if he's an Autobot with visions of an alternate Decepticon life, or the other way around. However, several Transformers series such as IDW's crossovers (e.g. Transformers/Ghostbusters, and both My Little Pony/Transformers ones) and Transformers (2019) avert it with no human kids, Optimus not dying and IDW's reboot ending with the Autobots never making it to Earth and instead being on one of Cybertron's moons, preparing to take back Cybertron.
