Title: Rise in Perfect Light
Author: marcicat

Summary: No matter where or when, no matter the circumstances, it’s always possible to share love, to build a family, and to shine a light.

Actual Summary: AU - canon divergence from Shen Xi's death in the drama. She and Zhao Yunlan travel 10,000 (or so) years into the past instead, and meet young Shen Wei and Ye Zun, and things progress from there.

Title: starting from zero, got nothing to lose
Author: marcicat

Fandom: Power Rangers in Space
Rating: T

Summary: Missing scene from ‘Countdown to Destruction,’ during the team’s time on KO-35. As they learn more about the effects of Zordon’s final gift, Karone and Cassie make new plans to find old friends.

Note: Title from ‘Fast Car,’ by Tracy Chapman. Because everyone should get the chance to write a Power Rangers fic with a song lyric title at some point in their lives, and Ecliptor deserved better.

Dedication: To Star, because sisters. <3

Title: Run the Mountain
Author: marcicat

Fandom: Rise (2018), Power Rangers (2017)
Rating: T (language? the crisis of American youth?)

Summary: "I don't need superpowers, I need a steady income and a passing grade in History."

Note: Imagine an AU where Alpha did the logical thing, and called Eltar for a pickup instead of loading Zordon's brain into the ship and lurking around the Earth for a few thousand years. Because then Eltar's backup team would've come and collected Alpha, and the ship, and the bodies, and let's say they left the coins as a sort of combination memorial/apology for, you know, destroying the ecosystem, or whatever. (And imagine they were in Pennsylvania, because those Rise kids living in a High School Musical dystopia could stand a little mystical technology added to their lives.)

Some snippets from a Power Rangers (2017 movie) fic I started. They've been sitting in my email drafts for a year, so I think it's time to release them to the wild.

Title: Every Dawn a Miracle

Fandom: Hocus Pocus, Rise of the Guardians

Characters: Dani Dennison, Thackery Binx, Allison, Cupcake, Sophie Bennett, Easter Bunny, Jack Frost, the Groundhog, Pitch Black, Max Dennison, Jamie Bennett, Pippa (Rise of the Guardians)

Summary: The whole thing felt ridiculously convoluted for a plan that essentially only had two steps: find Pitch and Max, and get them back to where and/or when they were supposed to be.

Title: This Family Just Keeps On Getting Bigger

Author: marcicat

Characters: Han Solo, Kylo Ren, General Hux, Captain Phasma, Maz Kanata, Knights of Ren, Rey, Finn, Poe Dameron, Padme Amidala, Anakin Skywalker, Obi Wan Kenobi, Leia Organa

Fandom: Star Wars, Star Wars TFA

Summary: Han shows up as a ghost, and starts to realize he missed a lot more than he thought in those fifteen years he was rattling around the galaxy.

Note: Title is from ‘Emmet Otter’s Jug Band Christmas,’ which shows how long ago I started writing it (Christmas, not 1977). Snoke is still the bad guy, Leia’s still the best at everything, and everyone else is somewhere in the middle. In a much nicer AU, a lot more things turned out to be not quite what they seemed.

Warning: Past Force-based mental manipulation is a key plot point in this story. More details after the cut.
