Bubblegum Crisis - Return of the Last Defender
Written by: Wayne Cadwallader
This fic is actually a BGC/Mega Man X crossover, and that's BEFORE Yumeko gets involved at all! This fic is about a man named Kyle Reeves and the adventures he and his buddies (Mega Man X, Zero, et al) have with the Knight Sabers. This story actually has several arcs, and Yumeko doesn't make her first appearance until the "Misadventures in Time and Space" arc. Sure, it messes with the Mega Man X timeline just a LITTLE bit, but overall, it's a fun read. Go to the Xtreme HQ to read it.
Recommended prerequisites (besides my fics):
Knowledge of the Mega Man X video games
Bubblegum Crisis, the Next Generation -- Crossfire
Written by: John Gavin Wilcox (with a little help from me)
This is sort of an "alternate reality" fic. What would happen if Yumeko ran into a guy from her past and they end up finding themselves more than just old friends? This fic takes events from part 4 of Next Gen and FTA as a whole and alters them, as if to say, how would Yumeko's life be different if Michael Xanatos were in the picture? (Note: This fic is not intended for younger readers.)
Part 1 -- Crossing of Paths: June-August, 2055. While shopping with Michiko one day, Yumeko literally runs into an old friend, Michael Xanatos. When near-tragedy strikes, Yumeko is the first one there to help Mike get his life back on track, but along the way, they find themselves attracted to each other in ways they hadn't imagined...
Part 2: March-June, 2056. In Sydney, after completing his "mysterious" training, Mike finds out about Yumeko no longer living in Tokyo, and asks the Knight Sabers to tell him where she is so he can help protect her should Genom discover her whereabouts. Yumeko is happy for the first time in months once she and Mike are reunited, but how long will their happiness last?
These two parts should be completed soon (I hope!!!), and more will follow, as soon as John figures out the details of them...^_^ (Update, 2/15/07: ...Okay, so the end-of-January thing obviously didn't happen. I'm trying to get ahold of John to see what part 1's status is, but I haven't heard back from him. Here's hoping we get something soon...*crosses fingers*)
Three Knights
Written by: Craig Reed, Bert Van Vliet, and Amanda Stair (me)
Craig started this out as only a joke, but then Bert and I joined in, and now it's becoming a full-fledged fic!
The fifth Knight Sabers from several different BGC fics (Craig, Bert, and Yumeko) are "borrowed" from their respective dimensions for a bit so they can help resolve an impending crisis in another BGC dimension. Should they succeed, this dimension will be safe, but should they fail, not only will this dimension be in danger of falling apart, so will theirs! But can these three Knight Sabers -- each known for their independent streaks and hot tempers -- learn to work together?!
Recommended prerequisites (besides my fics):
"Bubblegum Avatar," written by Craig Reed
