10''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6688861/1/Garfield_Royal_Rescue Garfield Royal Rescue]]'', written by Creator/ShakespeareHemmingway, is a rather short tale in which Garfield is retooled into a badass of epic proportions who squares off against Prince William of England in order to rescue his love interest, Kate Middleton.
11
12What ensues is a very {{beige|Prose}} adventure that involves Garfield delivering lots of one-liners and violently relieving royal guards of duty.
13
14There is also a sequel, ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7508783/1/Garfield_Prince_of_Tragedy_Royal_Rescue_Part_2 Garfield: Prince of Tragedy: Royal Rescue Part 2]]'', where Prince Harry becomes the new BigBad.

17!!Tropes:
18
19* AdaptationalBadass: Garfield, full stop. He's re-imagined from a lazy, unathletic feline to a superpowered ActionHero; having almost nothing in common with his canon self.
20* AdaptationalCurves: Garfield is described as very muscular, a far cry from his flabby canon self.
21* AvengingTheVillain: In Part 2, Prince Harry wants to get revenge on Garfield for killing his older brother.
22* BarBrawl: Part 2 sees Garfield get in a fight with some angry barflies after beating them in a pool game.
23%%* BattleCry
24%%* BeigeProse
25* BigWhat: Harry lets one out when [[spoiler:Jon gives Garfield a much-needed helping hand with ThePowerOfRock]].
26* BritishRoyalGuards: They try to arrest Garfield when he breaks into Buckingham Palace, but fail miserably.
27* ButNowIMustGo: Garfield apparently does this to Kate in between stories, as he is too wild to be bound to a life of monogamy.
28* ClockTower: Big Ben. [[spoiler: Which shoots lasers.]]
29%%* DamselInDistress: Kate Middleton, [[spoiler: and her sister Pippa in the sequel]].
30* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: "wedding place of matrimony"
31* {{Druid}}: In Part 2, Harry has a bunch of evil druids as his henchmen for some reason.
32* FelonyMisdemeanor: Garfield reacts badly when he sees that there's no "lausgna".
33%%* FrickinLaserBeams: [[spoiler:Big Ben]]
34* FullNameBasis: Kate Middleton, [[spoiler: Pippa Middleton and Sarah Ferguson]] are always referred to as such.
35* GrievousBottleyHarm: In Part 2, an angry barfly attacks Garfield with a broken bottle.
36* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: This fic turns Prince William into a [[Franchise/JamesBond Bond]] villain-wannabe. His younger brother Harry is portrayed as being a violent lunatic.
37* IntercourseWithYou: "Love is Lasagna" is a song where Garfield compares his love for lasagna with his love for sex.
38%%* MadeOfExplodium: British Royal Guards, apparently.
39* MadeOfIron: Garfield, to ludicrous extremes. In Part 2, he suffers far less damage than he should have from his whipping.
40%%* MercyKill: [[spoiler:Prince Harry asks Garfield to give him one at the end of Part 2. Garfield obliges]].
41* NoSell: The first fic has Garfield [[spoiler:deflecting Big Ben's laser simply by backhanding it]].
42* ThePowerOfRock: In the sequel, Garfield is on the ropes until [[spoiler: Jon Arbuckle appears on a hilltop with a lasagna guitar and Garfield is recharged by his shredding]].
43--> "The metal of your chains is no match for the metal in my veins," Garfield said with rock and roll.
44* PreAsskickingOneLiner: If Garfield ''isn't'' making one of these, he's probably either involved in [[IKEAErotica IKEA-worthy]] debauchery, killing mooks, or you're simply not reading the story right.
45* RealPersonFic: A crossover with the world of Garfield, but yes. In this case, Prince William goes through severe doses of RonTheDeathEater.
46* SaidBookism: Every dialogue tag, without exception, is in the format of "Said/[other bookism] with X".
47** Goes into CaptainObvious territory with Garfield saying something "[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment with words of saying]]".
48%%* SexGod: If you thought there's no way ''Garfield'', of all characters, could be portrayed as one, you were wrong.
49* SingleTear: [[spoiler:Prince Harry cries a [[TearsOfBlood bloody tear]] while begging Garfield to finish him off]].
50* SoreLoser: After Garfield beats some bar hooligans in a pool game in Part 2, they violently attack him.
51* SpitefulSpit: During his whipping, Garfield spits in Prince Harry's face.
52* SuperStrength: Garfield manages to knock down the gates of Buckingham Palace with a single punch.
53* ATasteOfTheLash: In Part 2, Harry has one of his druid henchmen whip a chained-up Garfield.
54* TrademarkFavoriteFood: This fic takes Garfield's love of lasagna up to eleven; he [[spoiler: drives a car with a lasagna license plate, smokes a lasagna cigar and has recorded a chart-topping hit single called "Love is Lasagna", which seems to be comparing sex to lasagna. Also, Jon has a lasagna guitar]].
55* VerbThis:
56** Garfield gets a letter from the British Royal Family telling him he's not invited to the wedding. His response is to shout "INVITE THIS" and tear up the letter.
57** In Part 2, a bar hooligan yells "buffet this!" shortly before attacking Garfield with a broken bottle.
58%%* WeaponizedLandmark: See ClockTower above.
59* YourHeadASplode: Garfield kills a violent bar hooligan by forcing him to drink so much beer that his head explodes.
