Macross + Ranma = Focker Survives.

[Spokavriel]

I'm looking for fanfics where Ranma's in space on the mission where Roy takes the injury that should kill him. But I want it to be fics where somehow Ranma gets Focker back to medical attention quick enough that he survives.

Ranma doesn't have to drag him back personally but Roy has to survive and Ranma has to have a part in it to count.

Weird thing to fixate on, fail to see why, but whatever...

I know in 'Dragon Lady of Macross' by Calamity-Queen of Cordite he survives for sure, chapter 21.

I know in 'RDF Life' by weebee he survives.

I know in 'Macross OneHalf' by TailKinker he dies.

I know in 'World of Change' by MChambli he dies as well.

Most of the other Ranma-Macross/Robotech crossovers do not get that far, or Ranma is not a pilot, which would be needed to be out there to stop or take his place.

[Spokavriel]

I've read some where he lives and some where he dies. Many where that battle wouldn't make sense to keep in the story. It's just hard to keep them strait. And then in addition it's hard to remember if Ranma had an active part in Focker living or not.

But... it is not really like there are *that* many Ranma-Macross/Robotech crossovers out there. Even counting multicrosses it is not that common a cross. Only when you start counting references that it becomes bothersome.

I do not track all of them, only 10, but some of those were among the biggest and most fleshed out, almost all the others I've seen barely get a few chapters in before dying, and there is one currently stopped before the point of Ranma even getting to the recruiter office, certainly the bulk cut off before the scene with Roy dying (or not, as the case may be). Or were part of a larger multicross and the Macross parts were minimal.

There is at least one big huge one I don't track, but it is a fusion more so than a crossover (and I did not care for the way fused), and deals with basically a interglactic blood feud involving several parties from Nerima with Robotechnology. Author even had pictures and maps...

There is at least one medium sized one that got several chapters, it is well written, but is a Ranma/Sailor Moon/Robotech cross, and they made Usagi and senshi crack pilots with Ranma. No clue if it made it to Roy's death scene.

From the list below, even 'Making A Difference' by genhoss, as large as it is, at some 527kb of story, has not gotten to the point of Roys death yet. And much of 'Silent Battles' he is not even a pilot, merely a instructor.

I wouldn't be surprised if most fanfic authors dealing with Macross recognize Roy's death as a significant plot point/event and therefore don't want to risk changing it. At least, unless they're going to make some considerable changes to the time/plotlines.

I don't think I remember seeing that many Ranma crosses where Roy lives, much less it being a result of Ranma having gone on or headed that mission, instead.

[Spokavriel]

Guess RDF Life and Dragon Lady are the only two then... It's just difficult that there are so few when you consider Ranma goes to allot of trouble in other fannon examples to keep as many people as possible from getting hurt...

But that attitude, even if present and warranted... can't help if the story does not get that far, or if it does and he is not a pilot.

[Makoto]

And being in the military/UN Spacy/RDF probably makes it a bit more difficult, I'm sure. (Unless you want to write him as a Basara-like character, with his own craft... (tries to imagine THAT... ^_^;;; ))

[Spokavriel]

I could see an author having Ranma as a Bridge Bunny stand in (Second shift) and still make the difference that keeps Roy alive.

Or even training Roy enough in The Art to be able to survive it. It doesn't have to be intervention in a direct way.
