I was reading your recent update to your Fire Emblem Awakening crossover, and it reminded me of this: it’s totally possible that Lissa, Olivia & Cordelia could meet their GRANDKIDS. (You know, the ones from Fates)

In one of the Fates DLC missions, Lissa does meet her granddaughter Ophelia. And her son, well before ever meeting Owain in the original bout of time travel shenanigans. Even before finding Robin that first time.

And Chrom also meets everyone and is quite confused by their resemblances to people he knows.

As for what that means for the fic, some things will be mentioned, and others will not.

Are the Butterfly Summons an original creation? I feel like I remember a filler episode with them, but I can’t find a reference to it…

They're basically original! By which I mean I borrowed aspects from a bunch of different things and made them available for these characters to use. :p

The Butterfly summon contract combines:

The Godzilla franchise's Mothra as its boss summon

The tendency of canonical kikaichu to eat chakra of both hosts and targets

SCP-408 from the online creepypasta hub SCP Foundation, hence their illusions

Bleach's Hell Butterflies

Jack Vessalius from Pandora Hearts as its initial, disastrous contract holder

The last part that they had to work to incorporate is the sense-borrowing a D&D wizard can use to look through the eyes of their familiar(s). Unlike a wizard, though, contract holders have limited control over so many minds.

Thus, Shimika's immense, literal headache whenever she has to rely on a thousand minds besides her own.

How much are you hoping for more Janai/Amaya?

I'm not so much hoping as I am expecting; we know Janai's family and Sunfire politics will play a big role in S4, or at least arc 2, with her younger brother Prince Karim. Amaya could go back to Katolis or the border to aid Ezran, but I think it makes more sense to have her in Lux Aurea just from a structural standpoint. Not only to be able to give her more screentime with Janai and overall plot relevance, but because she's the most natural audience conduit we could have in terms of a reason to have Sunfire elf things and politics explained to us so that we can follow along, too.

That said I would very much like Janai and Amaya to kiss in S4 or S5.

In your Rebels AU, is Rex their babysitter?

I'd say he's more of an uncle then a babysitter

What do you think of this:

About your DP/HP AU - what if Danny ends up meeting the Basalisk’s Ghost in the Ghost Zone?

The best name I’ve seen for her in a fic is ‘Bassilla’ - which means Empress (yet, it’s a pun!)

(re this AU)

To be honest, I don’t think Danny would put it together, at least not right away. He’s run into other creatures reputedly just from myth before, like the hydra, and I think he’s had a close call with a giant wormlike creature with a mouth full of teeth. So a basilisk, to him, would be par for the course. (And that’s assuming he even realizes that it’s a basilisk and not just a giant snake.) 

He’d probably find it while hunting for a way into the Ghost Zone from England, if only on the pretense of finding a shortcut home. There’s a chance the basilisk’s ghost hasn’t strayed very far. (Not because its eyes were gouged out; I don’t think that would matter once it’s a ghost. I just think it’s feasible it takes ghosts a while to settle and carve out their own little piece of the Ghost Zone.) Whether Danny fights it, avoids it, or befriends it would largely depend on how the first encounter goes. I think it would be after he’s recounting that experience to Draco that Draco would wonder if it might possibly be the (same) basilisk. (Danny could feasibly tell him about this incident in the Ghost Zone even before Draco knows the specifics about Phantom, since Danny would tell him sooner or later what his parents do for a living, and the Ghost Zone existing would be part of that. Also, Draco is the one most likely to notice and then confront Danny about sneaking off somewhere.) Furthermore, Danny has absolutely no idea how rare basilisk are; Draco would. Draco would also be more likely to accurately identify it as a basilisk based on what Danny says. Confirming that Draco is right would probably take a second trip. (And, who knows? Depending on how easy it is to get into the Ghost Zone and how much Draco knows, Danny might offer to take him along.)

What do you think of the idea of R2D2 somehow being sent back in time? He’s the one character (not counting Threepio, who I exclude due to him having his memory wipes) who I haven’t found a fanfic which takes the idea seriously.

(I found TWO period, and both of those were Crack. One had a bit which I’d consider ‘crack-taken-seriously’, but then fell from there...)

I think that if you have a specific idea of how you want to see it done, you should definitely write it yourself.

Idea: Cat Summons contract pulls Catra.

She teaches the following: When in doubt, C4.

She’d get along well with Dedara...

I’d probably have more feelings about this if I... had feelings about She-Ra.

I only watched part of the first season, though.
