History FanFic / TheRedCrownAroundYourDoor

* The Red Crown Around Your Door: Zidane gets thrown into Amestris, and Kuja's in his head. He learns he can do Alchemy, and accidentally pens the blame of a series of thefts on one Edward Elric. Can he and Kuja learn about Zidane's new powers, get back home, and figure out why he and Ed are so alike?
* The Messenger: One of two possible sequels to Red Crown. After learning of a link between Amestris and Gaia, Zidane returns to Amestris to prevent Father from winning his godhood. Originally written around the time of chapter 103 or 104, so a few screw-ups on later canon.
* The Avenger: Not yet written, but Zidane makes a different choice when he returns to Gaia, losing his memory of Amestris. It returns, causing Kuja to break loose, or so it seems. Ed and Al are called forth from some time prior to going to Lior by Garnet. Can Ed and Al save the Gaia and return back to Amestris?

** Zidane goes from merely bisexual to [[AnythingThatMoves anything with dark hair]].

* MusicalNod: Shows up occasionally, as the author love listening to music, and the song "The Messenger" has been a huge help when the author writes.

* MusicalNod: Shows up occasionally, as I love listening to music, and the song "The Messenger" has been a huge help when I write.

** Freya's Story is called "Eternity - Memories of Lightbeams" which in addition to describing exactly what happened to Fratley, also musically makes me think of her journey.
** Other songs I'm trying to work in are various songs from "Pray" and "Love Will Grow"
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Hopefully averted

* SelfInsertFic: Granted, I am one of the companions of the Doctor seen in these stories, but of the four he has at the time, I'm admittedly the worst.

* FantasticRacism: In one AU where Zidane dreams up a situation where Genomes were either natural or the events of FFIX took place by a different set of heroes centuries before, most other races treat Genomes like scum, being called "Monkeys." I more than attempt to make it like Fantastic Anti-Semitism (For example, Zidane's imaginary family owns a jewelry shop in Treno, and when he complains to his friends about the racism, Squall gives the answer that Genomes have no central homeland) There's also some predjudice against Burmecians/Cleyrans, but for the most part, it's more bothersome to everyone than it is to make fun of the Monkeys. (One of his first hints that this world was the dream was the fact that Garnet needs to occasionally be corrected on this point.)
* {{Flanderization}}: Occasionally a highly cracky idea comes into my head, and I end up writing it. In these cases, the following usually occurs:

** Y'know what I said about Zidane making Ed look well adjusted? That only applies to written-straight Ed. Flanderized!Ed becomes a vigilante hero with a short (oops) fuse.

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Freya again. Also Kuja, twice in the main universe, and dies in every alternate ending to Messenger I can think of.]]

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Fratley, of course. But I give him a reason. He was a companion of [[Series/DoctorWho the Doctor.]] And saved [[Series/{{Farscape}} Moya, and the rest of the galaxy, from the Nebari.]]
* [[LikeBrotherAndSister Like Family To Me]]: Zidane often "adopts" various characters as brothers or sisters, both older and younger. Currently, he has Riza and Freya as big sisters, Kuja as the annoying layabout of an older brother, [[OriginalCharacter Melissa Travers]] as a younger sister (Who also adopts him as a ReplacementGoldfish for her dead big brother Alexander Travers), and Ed, Al, and Vivi as little brothers. (The last of which being of the "dead" variety)

* MeaningfulName: Both the title of the story (to me) and in one of the sequels [[spoiler:Zidane's fake name, Alexander "Zander" Travers. ''Travers'' think about it for a second, maybe adding an "E". While Alexander wasn't orignally planned as one, it does get notice once or twice by the Gaians.]]
* MementoMacGuffin: Would you believe it if I said I [[ExternalRetcon externally retconn-ed]] Kain's hood in VideoGame/FinalFantasyIVTheAfterYears to be a hood Freya used to hide her inhuman figures?

* BiTheWay: Zidane. He'd flirt with Roy a bit, if there wasn't a 10-year age difference. And if he didn't know Riza would kill him if he tried.

** Zidane goes from BiTheWay to [[AnythingThatMoves anything with dark hair]].

TroperWorks/TheRedCrownAroundYourDoor is the first story written in a huge universe of WildMassGuessing by Tropers/RitiTroll on Fanfiction.Net. Currently, three of the stories have started posting, with many more in the work.

This Work Contains Examples of:

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Fratley, of course. But I give him a reason. He was a companion of [[DoctorWho the Doctor.]] And saved [[{{Farscape}} Moya, and the rest of the galaxy, from the Nebari.]]

*DopplegangerCrossover: With the Doppleganger part lampshaded early on and later deconstructed [[spoiler:It will turn out that Ed, Al, and the others failed against Father and he went on to take over, and semi-accidentally destroy, the world that Amestris is in. Zidane was conciously modeled by Father/Garland to resemble Ed as a cruel joke, and has the same soul, whether accidental or by design.]]
