Forged Family is an Alternate Universe port of Random Jedi Order, in which Amy Cherryclaw Prongs of another RJO lands in the world of Uncharted in year 1981, ten years before Nate is to meet Sully.
Amy runs into Nate's parents who are doing research for The SHIELD, and the adults take the lone girl under their wings. The story then follows Amy and Nate's various shenanigans in the years before the "real" plot of Uncharted starts to roll in 2002. Of course, there are Amy's own projects, including superheroes, sentient robots and digital worlds. Oh, and Sly Cooper is Nate's cousin.
Tropes
- Everyone Is Related: Let's see. Agent Peggy Carter is Nate and Sam's grand aunt. Their father is the squib third cousin of Molly Weasley's. Their mom is the older sister of Sly Cooper's father. ... Yup, that's pretty much everyone in the same tree.
- Everyone Was In The Same Orphanage: Okay, what are the chances that Skye is brought to the orphanage where Nate and Amy are residing?
- Massive Multiplayer Crossover: Another one, this time with Uncharted, Sly Cooper, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Transformers: Prime, Harry Potter and Digimon Adventure, with Lyrical Nanoha doing a few cameos. Events of MCU, TFP, SC and DA tie very tightly into the story, with characters weaving in and out of each storyline as the overarching plot requires.
- One Degree of Separation: In addition to Everyone Is Related above, Sam and Carmelita Fox are colleagues, Nate's father is Sly's fahter's teammate, and other crossings that might seem rather contrived.
- Recursive Canon: This universe knows of a fictional character called 'Amy Cherryclaw Prongs', created by a certain '94-born Finnish girl.
