The older half of the Loud sisters had led typically normal lives before they found their friends reading prints of Aces Wild, an Ace Savvy webcomic that involves their superhero counterparts getting into some interesting scenarios with an Ace Savvy who strongly resembles Lincoln. The "Clincoln McCloud Publishing" logo attached to the comic just adds fuel to a comedy of errors that proves that reality can be stranger than fiction.
Aces Wild
is a Loud House Harem Genre fanfic, written by The Siege Perilous centered around the concept of the Ace Savvy Fandom in the show and the girls both drawn into and within it. The story can also be read on Archive of Our Own here. It also spawned a variety of spin-off stories, creating what's known as The Aceverse:
- Nightie Knight: FFN/AO3
- Sam Antics: FFN/AO3
- Power Trio: FFN/AO3
- Living Activity Representation Performance: FFN/AO3
This fanfic provides examples of:
- Accidental Pun: In Chapter 2 of Aces Wild, when Lincoln believes his sisters' problems with his comics are how different they are from other Ace Savvy comics, Lori exclaims that isn't the issue with his comics. Naturally, Luan approves.
- Chain of People: In Chapter 23, a bunch of people form a human wall to stop Luna from getting to the stage where Sam and Lincoln were because Sam offered to pay them two dollars each.
- Comically Missing the Point: Lincoln is completely oblivious to the incestuous implications of casting himself as Ace Savvy and getting him in romantic situations with his sisters' inserts. When Lori, Leni, Luna, and Lynn come to confront Lincoln about it, he assumes that they were critiquing his art style choices.
- Leni's ditzy nature has also given her Genre Blindness with her completely despising Eleven of Hearts without realizing that's her inspired character.
- Expy: The proprietor of The Comike Booke Shoppe, Mr. Lee, is one to the late Stan Lee, down to his catchphrase of "true believers".
- Not What It Looks Like: In Chapter 4, Lori catches Lincoln and Leni in a rather uncompromising activity in his room... except he was merely trying to get Leni's proportions for an Ace Savvy and Eleven of Hearts comic. He even says the trope name when caught.
- Role Play: With Lincoln's version of the Ace Savvy comics as the backdrop, this is commonplace throughout the story, from most characters engaging in cosplay (i.e. the sisters as the Full House Gang, Sam as The Card Sharp (her O.C.), or others as their take on Full House Gang members) to the below examples.
- Role-Playing Game: The third major arc of the tale involved the girls and Lincoln playing the latter's Ace Savvy-themed Tabletop RPG that was tailor-made with their hero personas in mind. Considering the young ladies' clashing personalities, the game completely went off the rails.
- LARP: Elements have been present in the main series, but it would come to a head in one of the tie-in stories: Living Activity Representation Performance.
- Smoke Out: Parodied. In Chapters 20 and 21, Sam throws "smoke bombs" as a means of escaping. When the bombs explode, a small pile of papers with the word "Smoke!" on them are scattered.
- Your Costume Needs Work: Inverted. When a crowd was heading to see the High Card in Chapter 17, they ran not towards Lori, but to Carol. This would later make Lori fear that Lincoln and the others would replace her with Carol.
