FFxivWrite2024 Day 13 Prompt: Butte

*Another Zelink crossover ^.^*

Link crouched low atop Fesca's watch keeping an eye on the bridge heading toward Ul'dah. The dense foliage atop the butte was good cover and kept him well hidden. Below Zelda waited behind the butte with their chocobos Revali and Tulin. They were keeping watch for the Immortal Flames for there had been a slew of bandit attacks on caravans traveling over the bridge.

The General had asked them to do this paticular task because he knew full well the pair had keen eyes and would not be bought like the Brass Blades would. There was a thin fog coating the aea but it did not obsure their sight too much. As the evening wore on they saw a caravan riding toward the city and as soon it reached the edge of the bridge the bandits swarmed up from beneath it and attempted to surround the first wagon its chocobo shrilling in fear.

As soon as they did Link bolted forward and then snapped out the paraglider he had made and glided down aiming straight for the lead bandit in front of the prancing bird. From behind he heard the shrill warks of both chocobos and in moments he had his blue feathered menace right beside him kicking a flanking bandit as he landed slamming his shield into the Hyur he'd been aiming for's face.

Above them both was a unmistakable hum and Link and the bird closed their eyes in time for the brillant flash of Zelda's Holy spell to go off the cries of the bandits telling the pair they had not been so lucky. Link then pivoted as a few more attempted to blindly rush him and slashed at their legs with his blade dropping them before moving to make sure he had himself between the remainder of the bandits and the caravan lead.

Zelda moved to be beside him her chocobo flanking her the bird overtly on the defensive as she barked, "Throw down your arms and surrender by order of the Immortal Flames! This is your only chance!"

The bandits looked at each other and laughed as one of them sneered, "Look at the little knife ears playing heroes. Cut em down."

She looked at Link and he simply nodded and then lunged foward as the remaining bandits rushed them confident they had the advantage in numbers. A confidence that swiftly faded as the pair and their birds swiftly cut them down leaving them bleeding or unconscious on the bridge.

Once the bandits were down Zelda activated the linkshell the General had given them stating, "General, the bandit threat has been neutralized send the contingent of Flames to take them into custody."

Understood well done both of you the Sultanate is in your debt, again was the response.

Moments later a group of Flames came and dragged the injured bandits off to be tried and the bridge was cleared once more. The caravan lead thanked the pair profusely and then went upon his way with the rest of the caravan toward the city.

Once it was moved past the bridge Zelda looked at Link with a smirk and asked, "How long do you think it will take before you have some of the children of the city begging you to make them their own glider?"

Link chuckled and said softly, "Three, four days tops. Word has to get around first."

Zelda laughed and the pair mounted up and rode toward the city eager to get some well earned rest at the Hourglass.

Space Adventure

I was thinking about space lately and also about @lexosaurus amazing crossoverfic The Phantom Martian (The Martian x DP).

After re-reading it I was inspired to paint something. No idea how it ends but I imagined an alternate timeline/universe in which Danny and Mark are saved, everyone accepts Danny and Danny is invited to spend some time on the ISS with Mark like a real astronaut!

Mark shows some experiments with ectoplasm in zero gravity for the audience on earth to see and Danny treats himself to an ecto-spores-snack.

I used the movie as a reference for Mark's look this time.

Some people are bad at crossover fic specifically

We all know it’s true.

There are individuals who can write great stories that are better written than actual canon when they focus on one specific thing, but can’t write crossover fic put together enough for a 12 year old to enjoy.

Some of y’all are great writers who can’t mix or tweak world building to save your lives. So you just awkwardly stick a character from one thing into the world of something else with no explanation.

Do you know how many fics there are where Naruto characters are just sent to Hogwarts for one reason or another? The answer is a lot. And the worlds are never, ever meshed well or in a believable way. Like, even when the story is entertaining the staples holding the franken-world together stick out like a sore thumb.

Some of you who don’t know how to world build have learned the cheat code of using reincarnation. Especially if one of the properties you’re crossing over with have reincarnation as something that’s established to exist in canon. Others go the route of making either the main character of the story some kind of dimension traveler, or have them get isekai’d from their birth world to the next world. Sometimes it’s reincarnation style isekai, sometimes a literal god will reach down and spirit MC away to this other world.

A lot of fanfiction writers for some reason don’t want to actually mix the worlds of the various properties they’re crossing over. Why not? I don’t know. In my opinion it’s better to actually weave the two worlds together, and either leave out or change the bits that don’t fit together to something that does, so it’s one cohesive world. Rather than two conflicting worlds that have been very obviously frankenstein’d together.

Shoddy world building/blending is the main thing that prevents me from enjoying the vast majority of crossover fic, of anything, that I find. Like I can understand that sometimes the two properties you’re trying to interweave seem too fundamentally different. But when that happens you’ve got to start chiseling away at the world building of the properties you’re working with, and sand away at those things that outright contradict each other until you’ve got something to work with.

There’s few things that can ruin a good story for me the way an ill stitched together franken-world can.

I rolled my eye lights as the three humans bickered. When I had Kris tell them to explain the so-called "strengthening" system of these weapons... Well, all three came up with different answers.

Which, with thinking about Kris and I being technically the same being, but so different... Makes sense as we have confirmed all four of us Legendary Heroes come from different Japans, or worlds to be exact.

So why are they saying the other is lying?

"HEY, HEY! CALM DOWN! WE SHOULDN'T FIGHT!" Sansy floated over with Papy, both brothers pulling at the souls of Ren and Motoyasu to seperate the trio.

"yeah. we are kind of up a shit creek without... oh, wrong saying," Papy flinched as he corrected himself.

Huh? Why was... Oh, yeah. My job as the taxi of the River Maze. I wonder if I can still access that place with our current situation. At least if we can get back to the Void, we can vacate any other Gasters who have ended up in there to this world.

Not a fix, but should be way safer than the constant threat of Anomalies trying to eat whatever code they find. Plus, I rather put my trust in other versions of myself than whatever so-called "help" that lousy excuse of a king was gathering. At least if there are other scientists and doctors like Kris and me, we could look into these Waves of Catastrophe properly instead of the half-assed way these humans been doing with summoning who-knows-what and throwing the poor souls into what sounds an all out slaughter.

Which, oddly, looking at my fellow heroes, they are all so young. Sure, techinically I was once human, but I was at least around Kris's age of about 200 years or so, off a few decades since comparing his now Darkner appearance to what he properly is as a magic skeleton. These three never seen the horrors of war. Hell, with the methods they told me... It almost sounds like they never been in a real...

I clapped my hands together and everyone jumped.

"Huh? What?" I yanked on Kris's sleeve to get his attention to my hands

-I think I figured it out.- I signed and opened up the menus.

Each of the humans said they played a game with similar settings to this world. I, myself, love to play MMORPGs and even got pretty well set up in a guild that got pretty good.

Yet, if I use that as a reference, what if the enhancement methods the trio talked about was not of the games they played... But instead it was the best way of enhancement overall for how the world's operating systems worked.

I noticed glitching and a prompt came up with the question if I wanted to adjust my current and only shield: Small Shield

I confirmed and took in a calming breathe.

I was never really good at this, but I've always done it to myself to keep my LOVe at 1. Plus, I currently have a little EXP to spend from the Anomalies I took out before this mess, so it is worth a shot. All I'll lost is EXP which is a win for me either way.

I touched the gem on my shield and felt myself submerged within the depths of its inner being. A huge web of symbols and lines, almost all dulled out. I went to the one that was dimmly glowed more than the others.

I held out my hand with a spark and pushed into the light. The symbol went ablazed and the flames flickered down the lines to other symbols... And branched into new lines and new symbols. I felt a flood of warmth before my senses returned to reality.

"You okay, Iwatani-san?" Itsuki asked.

Ah, right. I always took much longer than Coordinators. A big reason I never did it to others for payment.

Yet, looking through the menus and manual...

Adjustments and transfering of EXP and LOVe to improve stats and such. As well as new branches that demand... Oh, skulls.

Just what is going on with this weird ass world.

Well, let's focus first on my discovery as Adjustments weren't the only thing added to my menu and manual.

"📖⏺" I let the text boxes float up from my mouth.

"Wha?" Motoyasu voiced the confusion on all three humans' faces. Though, even Kris had a high brow arced.

Seriously? We both speak Wingdings and he never spoke shorthand?

"n says the book records?" Papy translated. "o-kay?" The twin skulls looked at each other with worried looks.

Itsuki and Ren, however, had their eyes widened. Itsuki motioned the air and narrowed his eyes. He nearly fell when something happened on the interface only visible to himself and me.

"Oh! The manual records new stuff as we learn it!" Itsuki grinned. "None of us are wrong, but instead all right!"

"But how?" Ren grimanced at his own menus. "I don't get your methods would work to make our weapons stronger." I motioned to Kris.

"Different operating systems, one unit?" Kris asked with decipering my signs. Oh, good. Was a bit worried as our sign lanuages were a bit different with some words.

However, seemed that got the idea across for Motoyasu and Ren.

"So our weapons act like hardware that can take on various software." Ren said as he gotten a glitchy interface. " Wait... Could this be why we can't work together? Our weapons' original systems conflicts with the others?"

"It would explain why we defaulted to different set ups." Motoyasu crossed his arms. "So to make up for not able to work together, we can share our enhancement methods with each other to increase our strength."

I snapped my fingers and did jazz hands with a grin.

"But, what's your method?" I felt the ice in the trio's glares at me.

"We shared ours, yet you haven't said... Oh, right..." They flinched at my double birdie.

"My method is called Adjustment." Kris translated. "It's a bit hard to explain, so it would be easier if you let me do it. I'm not that good, but it should allow the better users of this the means to do it."

"Wait, this isn't a video game mechanic?" Itsuki asked with a raised brow.

"AH! THAT!" Sansy jumped. "YOU REALLY SURE YOU WANNA TRY ADJUSTING THEIR WEAPONS? THEY AREN'T-"

I tapped my shield's gem and signed.

"They are similar enough. I got it to work." Kris crossed his arms. "But what is this Adjustment thing, dear brother." Kris gave me the "Dad Eyes." I felt my throat tightened into a gulp.

-Explain later. Just think of it as the simple version of what turned you from skeleton to human.- Kris's grimance deepened. -I just never thought I could go in reverse. Usually can get the advance method to work with turning human souls into monster kind.-

"I see. So it enhances the soul aspects of the weapons and users." Kris caught the hint and let it go. "It's magic, so it is a little hard to express it in... Human language?" Kris let out a sigh. "At least from our world, magic is usually more expressive than logically explained. Our kind... Our race of humans are the few able to express magic much like other magical races."

"So... You're mages." Ren said with a nod. "Like how VR is common in my world. In a way, it makes since considering Shields were bad in the game I played."

"Wait, the same for you, too?" Motoyasu asked in shock.

"My game also did Shields badly," Itsuki flinched. "Which makes it worse seeing you in a wheelchair, Iwatani-san. It's like you got no straw at all instead of the short straw."

What? I just raised an eyebrow with confusion.

How was being in a wheelchair bad? Hell, these were the best wheels I had in my life! Custom-made and foldable, perfect for someone like me who uses wheels for ease of life.

"ah, right. humans aren't used to n's type." Papy rolled his eyelight.

"I don't get it." Kris huffed. "Doesn't a wheelchair help increase my brother's abilities?"

"Ah, but we will be in combat." Motoyasu gave me a loot of pity. "How can a crippled person-"

Both twins burst into laughter while Kris glared daggers at the three humans. Ah, right, monster kind is used to having to adapt all sorts of ways to help each other living Underground... Especially after the pollution turned the River into the maze twisted with time and space itself.

"What... Oh," Ren went wide eyed. "Right, a mage. When I think how magic is used in the game... Of course a Legendary Hero specializing in magic would focus on defense."

"Huh?" Motoyasu cocked his head.

"Oh, yeah! Pure mages were always weak to close combat. So, instead of having a staff, you have a means of defense as you lob spells at the enemies."

"Wha? Don't cha mean bullets?" Kris snorted. "Spells are a human thing that lack any expression. Bullets are far faster and effect in combat than chanting stupid phrases." Kris snapped his fingers for a bone bullet to appear and he balanced it on the tip of one.

"B-Bullet?" All three asked before they went pale. "Like in... a bullet hell game?"

I guess one could call my magic akin to a magic bullet hell. I sure know the Eighth Fallen probably saw our fights as such.

"Bullet hell?" The skull twins and once skeleton asked with confused dazes.

Me?

I just gave a devish smile.

"👍"

Angstfest 2023: Ghosts of the Past

Finding Home by JBGilroy at fanfiction.net

Just want to share one of the first crossover fics I've read since I discovered the Phandom. I really like this Young Justice crossoverfic because it tells is own story with a hefty amount of angst instead of just retelling the Young Justice cartoon and put Danny somehow in it.

This is a story about healing and finding yourself again. The YJ Team rescued Danny from the clutches of the GIW, who experimented and tortured him. Danny experience flashbacks and starts doubting himself. The story focus solely on Danny's healing process and how he is dealing with the aftermath of his captivity.

It has the same vibe as "Everything was White" @lexosaurus but with the YJ Team as a supportsystem than his friend and family. (sorry for tagging you so much these days!)

( I hope 3 years ago still counts for the "Ghosts of the Past" prompt")

There is no tagsystem on fanfiction.net so please mind the tags I put under this post.

Prince of the Stars / Chapter 9

Surprise Attack

After the friendly one on one duel against Prince Lotor and Erza Scarlet, there was an alarm that blared through the castle, alerting everybody on board. Prince Lotor, the Paladins, and the two wizards immediately gathered up on the castle bridge. "What's going on?" Shiro asked.

"There's an unknown anomaly approaching the castle, and the scanners can't seem to identify it," Princess Allura explained while looking over the holographic displays in front of her.

"Holy Quiznak! It's power levels are off the charts!" Coran exclaimed, looking on from his station.

"It looks like a dragon," Keith commented. "It is, in fact that's -" before Jellal could finish his statement, an alarm sounded and a display of red lights popped up on the screens. WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! The alarm system sounded in an autotuned voice. The dragon opened it's jaw and a ball of energy, which came shooting towards the Castle of Lions.

"Particle barrier UP!" Allura shouted, and a few seconds later, a glowing hexagonal shield quickly enveloped the ship.

Just a split second after the particle barrier enveloped the ship, it was overwhelmed by an energy beam twice as powerful as a Galran ion cannon. Even more alarms blared and the screens soon showed that the particle barrier was taking critical damage.

"We're about to lose the particle barrier!" Allura shouted. The ship's defenses then kicked into overdrive and diverted all shields to the bow.

"If this keeps up, the ship will be destroyed!" Coran shouted.

Jellal looked up at the flashing screens and his eyes narrowed, "Your Majesty, let me up on the Crystal Matrix. I have an idea."

"Are you sure?" she asked the blue haired mage and then looked to Erza. She gave a determined nod, "You can trust him Princess," the requip mage reassured her. Then the ship jolted violently, knocking everyone to the floor. The force of the jolt caused Allura to fall backwards off the Crystal Matrix platform.

Erza charged forward and caught Allura, enveloping the Princess's upper body and head in her arms just before she slammed into the floor.

"Are you alright Princess?" Erza asked.

"Yes, thank you," Allura said. The warning system blared again. WARNING! PARTICLE BARRIER CRITICAL! Allura and Erza got up off the floor.

Jellal asked her again, "May I proceed, Princess?"

"Please do, and hurry. I don't know how much longer the particle barrier is going to hold."

"Understood," Jellal stepped up on the Crystal Matrix platform, placed his hands on both the glowing pillars, and focused on transferring his magic energy into the castle defense systems. As Jellal began to transfer his magic into the castle defense systems, a golden glow enveloped him.

Everyone tensed up and prepared for the worst, that is until the sustained blast that was overwhelming the already critical particle barrier, suddenly weakened and then stopped. Everyone except for Jellal looked up and saw the turquoise barrier flicker out and then watched as a beautiful golden barrier replaced it. A groan was heard and everyone looked over to see Jellal panting and sweating profusely.

"Fire the blasters," Jellal panted.

Coran quickly lined up the blasters, locked in on the dragon, and fired.

DEEEAAAAARRRRRGGG!!!

The castle jolted slightly as a beam of pure golden energy shot out. As it shot out, the barrier opened up and allowed the beam the freedom to shoot out into open space. The beam struck the dragon with such force that it put off a shockwave which slammed into the barrier, causing it to flicker.

This was the last straw for Jellal though. The blue haired mage sighed and fell backwards. Keith rushed forward and caught him before he hit the floor. Without so much as a second thought, Shiro immediately took charge.

"Princess, we need to open a wormhole out of here while we still can,"

"Right," Allura took her place on the Crystal Matrix platform and focused on powering up the teladuv. A glowing circular portal appeared in front of the ship a few seconds later and Coran throttled up the engines, powering the ship into the wormhole.

Once the ship exited the wormhole, Erza rushed over to her collapsed husband and gently took him from Keith into her arms.

"Oh Jellal," she murmured and cradled his upper body, holding him close. After about 5 minutes of awkward silence, Shiro finally broke it.

"I can't imagine how much trouble the universe would be in if Zarkon got his hands on that kind of power." he commented. "Are you talking about that dragon we just escaped from?" Keith asked.

"Unfortunately, yes," Shiro sighed. Jellal then stirred and his eyes cracked open to reveal Erza's beautiful face smiling down at him.

"Hello my beautiful angel..." he murmured with goofy smile. "Jellal, you're always so cute like this," Erza said as she ruffled his cerulean hair. There was a collective awww that went around the room, causing both wizards to blush.

Computer is not working (again) so I drew this. It's Justin McElroy's characters from The Adventure Zone for this fic I'm planning. Stars, Beacon looks terrifying and I swear to the heavens I did not plan for it to look like that. Yes, I Headcanon that Duck is First Nation because why not have a forty year old Native American man that's the chosen one? Do men his age have beads that showcase his tribe? I might actually make a Taako/Lup doll. I know i have the means @_@ Also I gave them all braids. I think I'd like that. I'll give all of the McElroy playable characters something that connects them like all of Justin's characters have braids. #spacedpaniniart #theadventurezone #thezonecast #TaakoTaco #DuckNewton #BeaconTaz #AugustusParsons #crossoverfic #crossoverart #ghostnutsareathing https://www.instagram.com/p/BpwuVMyhDz6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z184k9m57zxa
