Dan Vs.The Forces Of Evil; I'm mostly just pitching it because of how the titles fit together, but I'm sure someone could do something good with it.

Live A Live with comic book characters.

So Marvel, DC, Image, a few others with random heroes from each world facing off against a common foe similar to Odio.

And of course, it ends in a cross over where one hero from each universe is brought to a new world where they all team up (after fighting each other first of course) to take down this demon.

Not sure who to use for what though, and I'm not even sure if I'll use just superheroes or expand into other genres.

Ace Attorney

  • What if Phoenix and Iris were partners as defense attorneys, just like Mia and Diego before them?

Akashic Records Of Bastard Magic Instructor

  • What if Rumia and Re=L were turned into a dog and a squirrel respectively in the sidestory where Sistine turned into a cat?

Black Fox

  • What if Eustace was splashed with kindness in Car Broke, Phone Yes, making him a kinder man?
  • Courage ends up going into outer space when fighting off another Monster of the Week, finding himself on the same planet his parents were send to and reuniting with them.
  • A different take of Ball of Revenge, where Eustace isn't as bad as he was in the canon episode (he doesn't lead the villains at all, never says he hates Courage, and in fact gets taken hostage alongside Muriel), Katz leads the group of villains (consisting of himself, Le Quack, Di Lung, Cajun Fox, Benton Tarentella, the Chicken from Outer Space, Mad Dog, Schwick, Doctor Gerbil, Mondo the Magician, and the Queen of the Black Puddle), and some of Courage's own allies come to help him (some of them can minor one-shot characters including Kitty & Bunny, the Hunchback of Nowhere, and the Scarecrow, to former antagonists such as William and Dr. Zalost & Rat).

Cross Ange

Danganronpa

  • An alternative take on Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School:
    • Chisa Yukizome actually fakes her death convincingly enough to fool even Kyoko, either becoming the real Big Bad, or The Dragon to the actual mastermind. Either way, she serves as the biggest obstacle to her former students and Hajime, with the Class promising to save her this time for sure.
    • Seiko Kimura actually survives the Killing Game, and she helps to save Kyoko before she can succumb to the poison alongside Mikan.

    • Going to the beach
    • Skiing
    • Having a picnic
    • Playing Video Games together
  • Makoto and Kyoko find themselves in the other's body somehow, though when that occurs depend on the author (Whether it was the first Killing Game they're trapped in, or the Killing Game between the Future Foundation members). Regardless, both try to deal with awkward moments running into their friends, both trying to hide the swap as they attempt to switch back, with Makoto-as-Kyoko coming off as Endearingly Adorkable and Kyoko-as-Makoto coming off as a cool and stoic person.
  • An Alternate Universe Fic that takes place in a Science Fantasy setting, where people who gained a special power go to Hope's Peak Academy to train their powers to protect humanity.

He ends attending the academy, with all his classmates having a different powernote .

Date A Live

  • What if Tohka and Shido turned into the opposite gender one day?note 
  • Origami starts out with her new timeline personality from canon, with her original timeline personality coming into existence as a result of undergoing inversion as a Spirit. Because of this, she never joins the AST and remains unaware of the existence of Spirits for the majority of the story, though she does start to become suspicious. This also alters her relationship with Shido and the Spirits in the following ways:
    • Origami, while not lustful towards Shido until she awakens her new personality, still starts out as a close friend and has a crush on him, which slowly evolves into love. The new Origami becomes very lustful towards Shido, much to the original Origami's horror and disgust.
    • Origami becomes best friends with Tohka after meeting her, though starts to have conflicted feelings when she finds out that Tohka also loves Shido, leaving her unable to decide between being jealous or wanting what's best for both Tohka and Shido. The new Origami starts out exactly like she did in canon, acting with hostility towards Tohka and wanting Shido for herself.
    • Origami gets along well with Yoshino, with the two bonding over their shyness.
  • What if each Spirit gets an Inverse Form that doubles as a second personality during a time of crisis?note

    • Baby's origin is explained in a way that doesn't come off as a Voodoo Sharknote . Baby has General Rildo act as his Dragon, still possesses Vegeta and takes control of Earth's population, but this time seeks the Super Dragon Balls to replace Zeno as ruler of the multiverse.
    • A new villain brings back past villains, granting new strengths and abilities to help them better combat the Z-Fighters (some of which include new transformations for Frieza and Cell, fusions between the villains, more combat training, etc).
    • The Shadow Dragons' have different originsnote , and some of them have a bit more characterization or personality changesnote  and strengthnote . The heroes each split up to fight a Shadow Dragon, though Goku and Pan are able to convince Nuova and Oceanus respectively to use their powers for good and join their team. While the Shadow Dragons are defeated at the end of the arc (with Nuova and Oceanus being the only survivors), the Dragon Balls are put into stasis for years, preventing the heroes from using them for quite some time and forcing them to solve their problems without them.

  • What if Kevin, Nazz, Johnny, Plank, and the Kanker Sisters had touched the boomerang from Hand-Me-Down Ed?

    • While they intend to fight alongside the Warriors of Light against the Heartless and the damage Xehanort had caused, their primary goal is to induct one of them into their Order. While they are considering Riku and Terra to join them - both of them having a deep enough understanding of the Darkness to have been immunized from its corruption - they add Sora to that list when he takes on his Anti-Form when they are all cornered.
    • Instead of any of the above, however, these Darkness-using Keyblade Wielder managed to induct someone that no one was expecting̶ —Riku Replica. Since he wields the Way to the Dawn Keyblade, he joins the group in order to forge his own identity, receiving a name and friends who accept him in the process.
  • The friendlier Heartless, such as the White Truffles, Blue Rhapsody, and the Flan Seven, have a reason for their lack of hostility: they were originally children with very little darkness in their hearts, and their innocence allowed them to retain their kindness and love of games. These Heartless would eventually become allies to the heroes.

Kokoro Connect

  • A series of What Ifs, revolving around what would happen if certain phenomenons worked differently:

She admired Oersted's courage and kindness growing up and secretly fell in love in love with him, which Oersted is unaware of. She becomes a female Magic Knight as she joins Oersted in becoming a knight, albeit not without struggling at first and receiving some of Oersted's help. While she is saddened to see Oersted loves Alicia, she is willing to accept if it means Oersted can be happy. When Oersted is framed as the Demon King, she is among those who still believes in her friend and tries to help clear Oersted's name, only to be killed, which is a big step towards Oersted's Sanity Slippage and Start of Darkness. I's later revealed that she became a Messiahic Archetype who also gained the power to place incarnations of herself throughout time and space to help the heroes of different periods stop Odio's incarnations, while secretly guiding them in their battle against the Demon King, all in order to save Oersted from his dark path.

When the clone starts to attack innocent people out of a Social Darwinist belief, framing the real Bakugo in the process, Bakugo must work alongside his classmates to put a stop to the clone, who sees him as inferior to himself and treats him the same way he treated Midoriya once, especially when he targets Midoriya and All Might out of hatred for them having Quirks when they were originally Quirkless, calling them parasites who don't deserve Quirks.

    • Knuckles' clone is pretty much Dumb Muscle incarnate, being very guillible.
    • Amy's clone has Yandere-level obession with Sonic's clone, becoming an outright Stalker with a Crush who makes the real Amy look tame in comparison.
    • Shadow's clone has the characterization of his Sonic Boom counterpart, being an abrasive Jerkass who mocks the concept of friendship.
    • Cream's clone is shown to be rather devious and manipulative, though in her case, she acts as The Fake Cutie who makes some snarky and discrete insults to her allies and will lead her allies in starting a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown on her enemies or people she doesn't like.

Tales Series

Having foreknowledge of the future and knowing that not all of the Talented are evil, Nana instead genuinely befriends Nanao, forming a group of friends consisting of the two of them, Michiru, Moe, and Kyouya. From that point onward, Nana instead works to get rid of the more evil Talented in a way that wouldn't implicate her (such as tricking them into exposing their true nature to everyone so there will be a legitimate reason for everyone to get rid of them) while secretly planning to train the more benevolent Talented as part of a conspiracy against Tsuruoka.
    • Alternatively, Nana is a genuine mind reader, which allowed her to find out Tsuruoka's plot from the start, and she only goes along with the training and the mission so she can secretly save the more benevolent Talented (while also getting rid of the eviller Talented in a way that doesn't implicate her as a murderer, but at same time makes it look like she's fulfilling her mission) and train them to help her to get revenge on Tsuruoka.

Thunder Cats 2011

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012)

  • A One-Shot Fic where Donnie successfully restores Timothy's humanity, with latter's reaction depending on the author:
    • Timothy has no memory of his time as a mutant, with the Turtles needing to explain what happened and convince him that from now on, he needs to start getting stronger through hard work instead of taking dangerous shortcuts.
    • Timothy is not grateful at all to be human again and still blames the turtles for his Sanity Slippage, leading to the turtles to rightfully call him out on this.

To Love Ru

  • What if "Riko" did get amnesia when she was rescued by Saki from the principal, only calling herself Riko because it's the only thing she knows, and as a result this prevents her from changing back?

My Futurama hyperfixation has me on a leash and now I so desperately want to flesh out Leela's backstory. Specifically to flesh out her life between leaving the orphanarium at 18 and meeting Fry in the pilot.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

I recently came across the manga Cheat Slayer which was cancelled after only one chapter, and I can say that even as an OSHA-certified Isekai Hater, it's kinda cringe. Considering it kept being compared to the comic version of The Boys but for the Isekai genre, I was thinking of giving it a treatment similar to the TV series and breathe new life into it.

DB Super idea:

What if Raditz came back as a cyborg? We don’t know what happened to his body so maybe it was stolen by Gero?

New ideas that came to mind.


Bleach
  • A Continuation of Bleach Howl From The Jaws Of Hell Arc. Ichigo and his companions decide to journey into Hell in order to save the Gotei 13 captains that have been send there, all the while Kazui's mysterious connection to Hell becomes a primary focus of the fic. Szayaelaporro Granz, Aaroniero Arruruerie, and the Shrieker are among the Hellspawn that antagonize the heroes on their journey.

Danganronpa/World's End Club

  • A Fusion Fic where the Danganronpa cast awaken their Buddy Skills in order to stop Junko Enoshima from brainwashing the entire world with Despair.

Kingdom Hearts/Disney Mirrorverse

  • Some of the Disney Party Members take on the abilities and weapons of their Mirrorverse counterparts during Sora's journey through their worlds.

Spider-Man: No Way Home

  • Harry Osborn from Peter-3's universe gets summoned to the MCU, teams up with the Green Goblin from Peter-2's universe, and personally antagonizes Peter-3 throughout the film by taunting him over his failure to save Gwen and telling him that it's his fault because he didn't give him his blood. He tries to repeat the incident and prevent Peter-3 from saving Michelle Jones, but when that fails, Harry still mocks Peter-3 about Gwen's death and tries to tell him that it's his fault, only for Peter-3 to put a stop to it by telling Harry that Gwen's death and the former's Painful Transformation is his own fault and he doesn't owe him anything at this point, enraging the latter as he tries to kill Peter-2 personally, only to get knocked out, subdued, and Forced to Watch as the Green Goblin personality is purged from Norman's psyche.

Have an idea that's more general and planning to use it in a story:

Two girls who used to be close friends who were younger had grown apart in their teen years. In their Junior/Senior year of high school, through numerous disasters and other circumstances, they find themselves brought back together, rekindling their friendship and perhaps something more. To the point where they make a vow to be each other's life partner. Meaning that if one falls in love with someone (man or woman), that someone must accept the other as well as they now saw themselves a package deal.

Why do decent characters suffer Character Derailment while others get the golden child treatment? Running the Asylum while Armed with Canon.

I have soooo many ideas for Futurama fic, mostly shipping fic, but my friend and I got super attached to this Kidfic AU following Bender's Big Score where Leela gets pregnant from Lars before he dies and ends up Platonic Co-Parenting the subsequent paradox baby with Fry before it eventually turns very much not platonic. Most (not all) of the episodes stay the same, it's just this additional arc running through them.

I worry I get too into Kidfic and that it's not feminist or something but I think the extra layer of "getting pregnant with the child of your love interest's time duplicate who was doomed to die" has something original to it.

Lately I've been on a Dinosaur Train kick, and I've been imagining a Role Swap AU where instead of Buddy being raised by Pteranodons, Tiny was raised by Tyrannosauruses. (I might incorporate my "Buddy is Dolores and Boris' biological son" headcanon into this, but I'm worried that it misses the point of canon: some adopted kids never learn who their biological parents are, and that's okay.)

Never gonna finish our take on the wrong Boy-Who-Lived trope because a canon retelling would require us to have reread the source material in the last ten years, which is kinda uncomfortable given the state of the author. So here's the broad strokes and you can steal them if you wanna:

  • Harry has an older sibling — this by itself requires some timeline adjustments, which we were planning to leave to the readers — who Dumbledore decides would be better equipped to handle the attention of being the "Boy-Who-Lived", so he does his sneaky thing
  • however, the sibling in question is trans, so when she starts attending Hogwarts as Cassia Potternote , everyone instantly assumes she's a cousin of the Boy-Who-Lived (and that the Boy-Who-Lived himself is obviously at a secret double-wizard school) (to be clear there's no secret double-wizards in this AU, it's only a rumor)
  • this obviously requires this to be a "the Dursleys aren't abusive at all instead of their abuse being treated as a joke" AU
  • because Sirius had a few extra years of being a godfather, he's a little more sensible and went into hiding so he could keep sending the kids birthday gifts (and hopefully actually expose Pettigrew and clear his name at some point but the kids are more important)
  • also because Harry was born second, his middle name was originally Sirius, but they changed it to Remus after Sirius "betrayed everyone", which in Harry's third year leads the kids to come to the Entertainingly Wrong conclusion that Remus is "Padfoot" who's been sending them letters from Majorca
  • At no point do Cassia and Harry come into conflict over the prophecy; everyone assumes the Boy-Who-Lived is elsewhere entirely so both kids are treated equitably. Harry and Cassia do know that Cassia is supposed to be the "Boy-Who-Lived", but everyone was so quick to assume that she was his cousin and it got too awkward to correct too quickly. Harry is going to have some trouble pretending his sister is actually his cousin.
  • Dramatic Irony enjoying authors be like:
Snuffles is apparently our backup godfather — after our first godfather, Sirius Black, betrayed our parents to the Dank Lord, the responsibility fell to him. Though no matter where I looked, I've been unable to figure out who it actually was. I have a number of candidates, for all of whom there's a compelling but not conclusive reason why it's probably not them. (Except for Peter Pettigrew, whose reason is that he's dead, which is conclusive.)

Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.

I want to do a Fix Fic of HoloFunk - Pre-6.0 that kills the Reality Subtext and dodgier story beats, gives more love to the remaining crossover material, and overall just rearranges everything into a more pleasant and legible experience.

It's really weird with a lot of crap to untangle & fires to put out and I acknowledge that, but hey, I can understand most of Placeholder McDoctorate's SCPs without straining myself, so that's probably the least of my worries.

I've been thinking more about that Dinosaur Train Role Swap AU, and I can't think of a better place to braindump about it, so...

  • The title I'm going with for now is Tiny and the Tyrants.
  • Why do I headcanon that Buddy is Annie's biological brother? The reasoning is two-fold:
    1. In "I'm a T. rex!", Buddy says that Rexville smells like somewhere he's been before, as if he subconsciously recognises it.
    2. The Law of Conservation of Detail: Annie's family are the only other Tyrannosauruses we get to know.
    • So what's my explanation for why this never came up in canon? Simple: it's one of those subjects that's always too awkward to discuss, so nobody was willing to mention the possibility.
  • Anyway, since I'm a fan of Dramatic Irony, there'll probably be a scene where the Pteranodon parentsnote  are alone together and have a conversation that amounts to, "Do you think Tiny is the egg we lost...?"
  • This will also be a quasi-rewrite of canon.
    1. Some of the information in the show is outdated. For example, Troodon is called Stenonychosaurus now, and I don't think anyone knows what the heck Spinosaurus was.
    2. It's also an excuse to show animals that never appeared in canon (as far as I know). There could be an entire arc where they go to the pre-dinosaur Triassic and meet early archosaurs like Tanystropheus and Desmatosuchusnote . Pterodactylus might be the most mainstream-obscure animal to have ever lived, because even though it was the first Mesozoic reptile to be named, the generic image of a "pterodactyl" is more like Pteranodon. I really want to write a scene where it and the other Crystal Palace 'saurs pose for a photo. Finally, I want to include my favourite prehistoric animal: Repenomamus.

For all the time-wimeyness of the Moffat era I was annoyed that we never got to see how 12 saved Gallifrey from his perspective and close the Stable Time Loop. Or how the Doctors told the younger versions and 9 what to do. I've always had this fanfic idea where during the 24 years on Darillium there's a crossover between 12, 11 (right after The Day of the Doctor) and a newly regenerated 9 where they have to work together to complete the bootstrap paradox. And because 9 is straight out of The Day Of The Doctor and meets future selves he's yet to forget what happened, giving us a bit of a perspective of what a 9 who remembers would be like along with the feels that he's going to have a brief moment of remembering before all the trauma of apparently destroying his people comes to him

wild mass guessI have also speculated that River caught on to her own death but lied to keep the timeline, and my idea for a fanfic would have her realize it but have the option to forget that or choose to remember and trust her ability to act. And we leave not knowing if she did

[up]Interesting, but I'm not sure how you could fit the Doctrio meeting 12 into Day of the Doctor's pacing?


After giving it some more thought, the last few bullets of my Dinosaur Train AU could probably fit into a canon-compliant fic. I can picture a surprisingly sombre scene like this:

"Mr. Conductor, why is the early Triassic a mostly barren wasteland filled with nothing but Lystrosauruses?"

"Well... Do you really want to know?"

New ideas that come to mind.


Genshin Impact
  • What if both Aether and Lumine barely escaped the Unknown God's attack and never got separated, allowing them to travel Teyvat together with Paimon?

Spider-Man: No Way Home/Massive Multi Player Crossover

  • An Original Character, in a manner similar to Peter Parker from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, ends up coming across various villains who end up dying or suffering a Fate Worse than Death in their world, seeking to save them from their fate. They get help from heroes from the villain's worlds as they seek a second chance to save them when couldn't in their world.
    • Some examples can include:
      • Chisa Yukizome, who still retains her brainwashed state, with Hajime Hinata and Makoto Naegi seeking to restore Chisa to her original personality.
      • The Delightful Children from Down the Lane, being the members of Sector Z permeantly delightfulized, with Sector V agreeing to help find a way to permeantly restore them.
      • Flowey, aka Asriel, who is trapped in the form of flower. Frisk wishes to help the protagonist restore Asriel to his original self.

Spider-Man: Ben and May die in a car accident when Peter is 7 or 8 and he's adopted by Norman Osborn, who already knew Peter due to having been friends with the Parkers and sees the boy's potential despite his young age. Years later, Peter is bitten by a genetically modified spider, he goes snooping around Oscorp trying to find out more about it, discovers that his adoptive father is carrying various shady, if not outright evil, experiments and becomes Spider-Man to stop him. Norman (who is mostly based on the The Spectacular Spider-Man version) becomes the Green Goblin and it doesn't take him long to figure out who Spider-Man is. He also turns Harry against Peter and basically makes him his sidekick, although Harry chooses Peter over his father in the end.

I already have a title (A spider in a different web), an outline and a little bit written so hopefully one day I'll finish it and post it to AO3.
