Blood Bond, Blood Omen Series
The Blood Bond, Blood Omen fan fiction series starts with a few connected one-shots detailing the actual everyday life of Kim Possible and the rest of the cast of characters. Ominous foretellings are made in these one-shots as well as setting up and establishing the connections between Kim, Ron, Drakken, Shego, and a multitude of characters.
Then everything goes to hell.
This series is notable for taking a basic sitch and turning it Up to Eleven and is also notable for its unrelenting Gorn in the later stories and horrifyingly detailed description of just how close to the end the world comes.
This is Kim Possible gone Darker and Edgier on the brink of The End of the World as We Know It.
The author's page has a list for the order in which to read the stories. Highly suggested following for maximum impact.
- Absurdly Sharp Blade: The Lotus Blade
- Alternate Universe/Discontinuity Nod: A Sitch in Time is referenced as a plot Tiamat used to take over the world; while it was erased from time, neither the Unshaper nor the universe entirely forgot about it.
- Alpha Bitch: Bonnie. She gets better as the stories continue and give her Character Development.
- And I Must Scream: All the people that were being used by the Unshaper would have remembered exactly what they had done. Kim and Ron use magic to give a mercy brain wipe to everyone that deserves it.
- And the Adventure Continues...: The epilogue has Adrena Lynn puts on tech equipment and adopts a new villain name and an agenda of vengeance against those she blames for her disfigurement.

- Armor Is Useless: Subverted. Gemini's adamantine armor helps to protect him, but isn't able to stand up to the supernatural power that he's against.
- Asshole Victim: Monkey Fist
- The Apocalypse Brings Out the Best In People: Most of the humans that keep their minds team up to face off against the Ultimate Evil.

- Bittersweet Ending: While they managed to defeat the Enemy to All Living Things, save the world, and remove the memories of those that were innocent pawns so they won’t go My God, What Have I Done?, those that are still alive have to deal with the wreckage of a planet that’s left, those that died stay dead, and Drew and Sheila have lost all memories of their time with each other from even their first encounter.
- Bloodier and Gorier: MUCH, MUCH more than Kim Possible ever had. And the last story in the series takes everything previous and turns it Up to Eleven.

- Body Horror: The Go siblings mutating, the various nightmarish deaths that occur throughout the series, Kim and Ron’s bodies warping into physical manifestations of their respective spectra, order and chaos

- It's All My Fault: Sheila believes this due to the Unshaper using her as its main Avatar.

- Last Stand
- Lawful Stupid: Hego until he gets further tainted from The Virus.

- Mind Rape: Looking at the true form of the Unshaper or seeing into the future does this to some of the people in the story. Complete with mercy killings!

- Names to Run Away From Really Fast: the Unshaper, Tiamat, Abaddon, Behemoth, Legion, Leviathan
- Eucatastrophe
- No Guy Wants an Amazon: Kim suffers from this at the beginning of the series.

- Powered Armor: Kim's battle suit.
- Powers Via Possession: That is how the Go siblings got their Go glow powers; they're all partially possessed by the Unshaper. The possession and powers get more intense as the story continues, culminating in the siblings becoming eldritch abominations themselves. Gil willingly lets the Unshaper warp him into Leviathan.

- Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: "You killed Sheila!"

He demands to face Abaddon/Hego by himself to avenge him killing his sister Betty before he could. DN Amy also begins one when she watches the video of Tiamat blasting Monkey Fist into ashes and bone.
- Saving the World: Not just Kim's schtick in this series. Eventually nearly everyone gets in on it.
- Screwed by the Network: A bit harder to read now that changes in Fanfiction.net's formatting has removed all scene breaks (complains the author).
- Sex Equals Love: Starts to feel that way with Kim and Ron considering the number of times the story comes to a halt to let them go at it like rabid monkeys.

- Shout-Out: Includes:
