If you're familiar with Contextualize/Whamise This Line, then you may know how this will work. However, instead of a line, you must write a plot/synopsis based off a title from a work in a "Poster above you" format. For example...
Troper A: Soul Surfer
Troper B: Soul Surfer is a cyberpunk action film about a man who has the unique ability to go into the bodies of other people, and must do this to clear his name for a crime he hasn't committed.
Something like that. I'm just hoping I'm being concise enough. Alright, let's begin.

The Legend of Zelda: Shard of the Alchemist
Edited by Patar136 on Apr 18th 2024 at 9:20:01 AM
I discover my own destiny as I command the winds of life!
In Legend of Zelda we meet our protagonist, a young normal chemistry student whose typical and idle life changes one day, when he becomes the target of 2 different intelligence services: a criminal organization and an ancient secret society, who all try to recruit him (willingly or otherwise) to help them in a secret project.
The protagonist doesn't know why they want him specifically, only that they think that he is the Link that will get them what they want.
The first book is a thriller, when the protagonist is chased through his city by various groups, who also fight each other.
....................
In the sequel (titled Shard of the Alchemist) the protagonist join forces with the secret society, and finally get some answer.
in 1778 a mysterious French magician called Christoph de Ganon was the talk of Paris, he performed many miracles, including curing diseases and turning lead into gold.
The source of de Ganon power was a strange shard constructed from a metal unknown to man.
De Ganon disappeared a few years before the French Revolution, entrusting his most faithful student with the Shard and uttering a prophecy saying that on a certain city, in the first day of the first month of the 21st century a child will be born who, once is 20 years old can use the Shard to find the city of Zelda the mysterious place where the inhabitants of Atlantes are said to have retired since its destruction.
The secret society was formed by de Ganon apprentice, and their goal was to protect the Shard until the day the Chosen Link is ready to lead them to Zelda.
Unfortunately a traitorous member of the society stole the Shard and revealed the secret to a criminal organization (and indirectly to intelligence services), and now the protagonist must recover the Shard.
....................
The third and last book (titled Skyward Sword) is yet to appear, but should detail the search for the lost Zelda.

Every Hero has his own way of eating yogurt
Hero of the Winds
A sequel to the movie They Live! set 50 years after the ending of the first film. Our protagonist is a young woman named Shelly who has fled into the mountains of what was once rural Mexico. The alien impersonators have managed to restore radio signals across the world that hide their true identity, but millions have died in the war that ensued and they are now in hiding as the world has turned against them. The tables have turned but the threat of alien occupation has radically shifted the political sphere as many are deeply paranoid of government institutions since the war. With the United States all but collapsed, Shelly finds herself living in a rural town that has justice in the form of local cowboys who take the law into their own hands. Shelly finds she must adapt to the chaos of a paranoid world, all the while wondering who can be trusted and who cannot.
The story is framed in the form of a western with mountain villages and local towns. The story features horse riding cowboys and cowgirls who are surviving away from the more urban areas that have descended into hellholes. Our lead is a confident gum chewing redhead who is here to kick ass and drink tequila. And she is all out of tequila.
