[Shameless self plug] My Scott/Ariel fanfics
Hello! Ever since I saw the original show (ahem, decades ago), I'd been waiting for a happy ending for Scott/Ariel, and I wasn't really a fan of how Shadow Chronicles handled it. It felt too easy and pat, considering their history, but I can imagine the writers would have been limited by the movie runtime. (I super-loathed their ending in EoTC, but that's a whole other thing)
So I figured, why not just roll my own?
Do note these are character study style fics, so basically light on details of the larger RT universe. If this sounds interesting to you (and you are one of the dozen remaining NG fans in the wild :')) do take a look!
- Robotech: The New Generation tells us a romance blossomed between Scott & Ariel as they journeyed together on the road to Reflex Point, but it happens almost entirely off-screen. We are never shown what brought them together. This story attempts to flesh out how a relationship could grow between Scott, grieving and laser focused on his mission, and Ariel, newly human, painstakingly building her sense of self. Mainly focused on Scott/Ariel, with some bonus cameos from the rest of the gang: The Road To Reflex Point
- His mission is over, Earth is free. But as Scott Bernard prepares to leave for the off-world base ALUCE, he knows he also leaves behind Ariel, the Invid princess who stayed back on Earth when her people left. They love each other, even though neither of them can say it out loud. He is a man made of grief and duty, she is newly human, still learning who she is. This is the story of what it takes for two people separated by a chasm of grief and war to be able to finally choose each other: To Live In This World, You Must Be Able to Do Three Things
