History Fanfic / YoureTheHeroOfLightCharlieBrown

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8569200/1/You-re-the-Hero-Of-Light-Charlie-Brown You're the Hero of Light, Charlie Brown]]'' is a MegaCrossover story on Fanfiction.net. It begins as the terrifying [[BigBad Guardian of Darkness, the Dark Witch]] is freed from her prison, resulting in a war of universal proportions as villains from over a dozen worlds are recruited into her army, while the heroes are brought together to fight for the forces of Light.

At over 200,000 words in only ten chapters, ''You’re the Hero of Light Charlie Brown'' is the longest story in the ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' crossovers section on Fanfiction.net, and possibly the longest fanfiction starring a Peanuts character. In addition to Peanuts, the story is also predicted to feature characters from ''[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]],''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'', ''[[Franchise/MarvelUniverse Marvel]]'',''[[Franchise/TheDCU DC]]'', ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'' and several other series, though so far only the Mario world has been visited.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Joe Agate is a minor bully in the Peanuts comic strip who tricks Rerun out of all his marbles, for which Charlie Brown challenges him to a game to win them back. In this story, he is [[TheDragon The Dragon]] to the Dark Witch, and is motivated by the desire to murder Charlie Brown and destroy everything he cares about for beating him at said marble game.

* AscendedExtra: Joe Agate is a very minor character in Peanuts canon, only physically appearing in two comic strips, which were adapted into the special ''He’s a Bully, Charlie Brown''. Here he is given the role of secondary villain.

* BigBad: The Dark Witch
* ContinuityNod: Loads of them.

* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: It’s suggested that being a Guardian constitutes this. During his first fight with Joe Agate, Charlie Brown inexplicably traps his opponent in a sphere of light attached to a chain, an ability he has not shown before, and the Witch later notes that Guardians of Light and Darkness can learn to harness new abilities by instinct if the situation calls for them.

* ThePowerOfFriendship: Much of Charlie Brown’s powers over light appear to be drawn from his need to protect those close to him.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Franklin delivers a glorious one of these to the rest of the Peanuts gang in Chapter 3, calling Lucy, Violet and everyone else out on their deplorable treatment of Charlie Brown, their inability to stand up for and support him and how they constantly blame him for everything that goes wrong and how their actions could very well drive Charlie Brown to suicide one day. Needless to say by the time he’s done, everyone is left devastated and remorseful.
* ThereAreNoAdults: True for the Peanuts world at least, as no adults native to that world have been shown thus far. This doesn't appear to apply to characters from other series though, as the Mario brothers appear as major characters.

The author has admitted however that some of these series might only have a partial reference (Aslan and Exodia for example are among the creator Gods in the story while the Heartless from ''Kingdom Hearts'' Serve as the Dark Witch's army).

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The first seven chapters alone feature over 30 named Peanuts characters, two OCs and Dr Eggman from the Sonic the Hedgehog games. Considering the large roster of series planned to be featured in the story, it’s possible the story could feature over a hundred recurring characters by its later stages.

* PettingZooPeople: Sparky is an example of this, being a purple-furred, humanoid dog dressed in white robes.

The author has admitted however that some of these series might only have a partial reference (Aslan and Exodia for example are among the creator Gods in the story while the Heartless from ''Kingdom Hearts'' Serve as the Dark Witch's army).

* DarkerAndEdgier: The story is a lot more serious in regards to the abuse Charlie Brown suffers at the hands of his friends and how it leaves him depressed. It is also surprisingly violent for a Peanuts fanfiction, the prologue begins with a character being murdered and the revelation that the Dark Witch previously reduced half the universe into Heartless upon losing faith in humanities ability to look after themselves. This may have been temporary however, as since the start of the Mushroom Kingdom Arc the story has become considerably [[LighterAndSofter Lighter and Softer]].

* FaceHeelTurn: The Dark Witch was originally a benevolent Guardian of the Realm of Darkness, who ruled her half of the universe with love and took care of her people, though her brother Sparky does note that she interfered too much. After seeing people commit evil acts she apparently lost her sanity and removed the free will from the hearts of everyone under her care, turning them into Heartless. She then declared war on the Realm of Light in order to do the same thing to the rest of the universe, for which her brother Sparky, the Guardian of Light, was forced to seal her away in a bottle. By the time she is released she has apparently lost much of her loving nature, and while she still believes her cause is just she is now well and truly evil.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The first seven chapters alone feature over 30 named Peanuts characters, two OC’s and Dr Eggman from the Sonic the Hedgehog games. Considering the large roster of series planned to be featured in the story, it’s possible the story could feature over a hundred recurring characters by it’s later stages.

* ThereAreNoAdults: True for the Peanuts world at least, as no adults native to that world have been shown thus far. This doesn't appear to apply to characters from other series though, as the Mario brothers appear as magor characters.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In addition to the many franchises mentioned under Mega Crossover, the author also originally planned to feature characters from {{Kim Possible}}, {{Kung Fu Panda}}, {{Phineas and Feb}} and possibly {{Star Wars}}, {{Viva Pinata}}, {{Shrek}}, {{The Fairly Odd Parents}}, {{Lilo and Stitch}}, {{How to Train Your Dragon}}, {{American Dragon Jake Long}}, {{The Incredibles}} and even {{SpongeBob Squarepants}}. Probably due to how difficult it would be to give all of these characters enough relevance to the plot the author desided to drop these series.

!! This show provides examples of:

Thibault, another Peanuts bully, also counts as this, being a bumbling sidekick to Joe Agate.

* KilledoffforReal: Technically, Sparky. In the first chapter he is stabbed through the heart and killed by the Dark Witch, but as a spirit he appears in every other chapter of the story as Charlie Brown’s mentor.

* [=Adaptional Villainy=]: Joe Agate is a minor bully in the Peanuts comic strip who tricks Rerun out of all his marbles, for which Charlie Brown challenges him to a game to win them back. In this story, he is [[TheDragon The Dragon]] to the Dark Witch, and is motivated by the desire to murder Charlie Brown and destroy everything he cares about for beating him at said marble game.
* [=Alternate Universe=]: The Peanuts world featured in the story can be considered this. Throughout the story characters reference events that happen throughout the comic strip as well as the Animated Specials, and characters exclusive to the animated adaptions like Freddie Fabulous and Melody Melody are also featured. Charles M Schulz, the creator of Peanuts, has gone on record saying that the Animated Specials are not canon to the strip, though the author of the Fanfiction has yet to confirm this.
* [=Ascended Extra=]: Joe Agate is a very minor character in Peanuts canon, only physically appearing in two comic strips, which were adapted into the special He’s a Bully, Charlie Brown. Here he is given the role of secondary villain.

* [=Big Bad=]: The Dark Witch
* [=Continuity Nod=]: Loads of them.

* [=OC=]: Only two, Sparky and The Dark Witch, the former Guardian of Light and the Guardian of Darkness respectively.
* [=Parental Substitute=]: Sparky appears to fill this role for Charlie Brown, giving him advice and comfort while training him to take over as Guardian of Light. Considering the lack of adults in Peanuts, which the story appears to be staying true to, it’s likely Sparky will continue to play this role in the future.
* [=Petting Zoo People=]: Sparky is an example of this, being a purple-furred, humanoid dog dressed in white robes.
