What if… instead of Manny, Diego and Sid, it was Gutt, Shira and Gupta left to return baby Roshan to his tribe? This story revolves around a trio of unlikely heroes as they team up to help an infant, all while discovering what a family is. (Roleswap AU)
(AU based on the Guillermo del Toro adaptation coming up, mainly my own current interpretations for now) A tale of love between a cricket and a fairy, told through six encounters. 5 plus 1 things prompts.
Agridulce: a Spanish word that means "bittersweet." A collection of one shots, drabbles, and more surrounding an unlikely union. Chapter 1: an exploration of how a strong relationship begins, and then crashes down into broken pieces of ice shards - in fifty words.
"Don't you think it's a little… bizarre?" "Perhaps, but this is my normal. I don't really think it's odd." - A new friend of Roshan's learns of his peculiar past. (Takes place somewhere before or during the second film)
Gutt and Shira's paths entwine again, with life-changing consequences for both smilodon and gigantopithecus. (AU taking place post-Ice Age 4, with lots of canon divergence. Plus some OCs, backstory, etc.)
2008 film verse. The Sour Kangaroo wallows in her own thoughts, hardly noticing the clover that rolls right around her alley after several days of chaos involving a speck, filled with its own civilization, and the elephant who devoted himself to being a savior for said civilization. What she does notice, though, is the vulture that's always had his eyes on her.
Don't think. Don't think about it. Don't think about her. Don't think about her pain. Don't think about how you're not there. Just breathe in. Breathe out. Keep walking… (Post-canon AU; two-shot. Jak/Keira and OC-centric.)
PRE-CANON AU: the story of Emperor Nefarious - his life before his rule, how he rose to it, and how he fell. The untold accounts and unheard truths, ones that Solana Galaxy hasn't marked in history. (Not entirely adhering to canon. Contains organic vs robot hierarchies, almost friends to lovers friends to enemies Emperor Nefarious/Rivet, and a lot of other stuff.)
(Spin-off / based off the swap AU. Songfic.) After the last hope was shattered for the inventor, he's left to go to the train station… but of course, saying "goodbye" is not easy, especially not to someone he's grown fond of. Ratchet/Cappy.
SWAP AU: Ratchet hadn't had the best childhood. He and his father escaped to Rivet Town to get away from Gasket and start a better life. But a few years after they leave, Gasket adopts a young Rodney and twists him to be as cruel as her. Wanting a better life for his dad, Ratchet goes to back Robot City where his past still haunts him. Things don't go to plan. (co-authored)
AU: Rivet kept her friends close, yes, but she kept enemies even closer. And by extension, Emperor Nefarious had one conquest that was yet to be completed. Many thoughts are had, a supposedly fateful encounter happens, and the mysteries of love are brought into question. (Semi-established Emperor Nefarious/Rivet pairing, mentioned Ratchet/Talwyn. Some psychology here and there.)
Selenia didn't kiss Arthur, so she remained unmarried. Thus Maltazard immediately took his chance and his curse was lifted. But although he's changed on the outside, Selenia sees that inside, her new husband remains the same. So begins a marriage of convenience, which leads to some rather unexpected further developments... (AU. Maltazard/Selenia, slow burn. Rating will change.)
(Sequel to "My Best Employee.") Young aspiring inventor, Rodney Copperbottom, goes to Robot City in hopes of achieving his dreams and helping his father out. However, it turns out that Bigweld's been deposed of and that a new bot, Phineas T. Ratchet, has taken charge. But it turns out, there's even more that's going on underneath the surface... (AU; Rodney/Piper, Ratchet/Cappy.)
