It is also possible to find both types combined in a single AU, such as in the [[Daria Von Doom Series]]. Within events of the show, Daria breaks up with Tom early, during ''[[Is It Fall Yet?]]'' This occurs after Daria discovers that Tom hadn't included her in decisions about attending Sloane family activities, like the Starry Night Ball. In addition, the common history is different from the AU is different from regular ''Daria'' continuity by occurring within one of the Marvel Universes, making the series a [[Crossover|crossover]] as well. |

Alternate-universe tales in ''Daria'' fandom tend to collect around three particular points in the series, though not exclusively. The first episode of the series in which Daria meets Jane, "[[Esteemsters]]," has received enormous attention and has been re-written many times. Daria/Trent [[shipper]] tales that strengthen the crush into mature love and the entire Daria-Tom-Jane triangle have also been revisited on a regular basis, though the former less often of late. |

In the broader science-fiction field, alternate-history stories have tended to support the idea that the present world represents the best of all possible outcomes in history. This view has been used in ''Daria'' fandom, too, though less stridently; [[Brother Grimace]]'s "[[Victory Lane]]" is representative of this approach. The [[John Lane Series|John Lane]] stories by [[Richard Lobinske]], however, reveal a [[Daria Fandom Lexicon|Dariaverse]] better overall than canon, as does [[Mystik Slacker]]'s "[[The Butterfly Storm]]." Worlds in which events change but the pro-and-con outcome is almost like canon can be seen in [[The Alchemist]]'s "[[Jane on the Side]]" and [[The Angst Guy]]'s "[[Click, Click, Boom]]." Still, an idea persists that, as the series shows, Daria did more good than ill, and her removal would cause more trouble than her presence (e.g., "[[It Slipped Through My Hands, Like a Shadow, Like a Dream]]," "[[Daria's Addition]]," and "[[After the End]]" by [[The Angst Guy]]). |
