Tales of Arcadia (Cartoons)

Trollhunters: Returning

by bad_song_petey

Like everything in Jim Lake's life, fixing the future is going to be a lot harder than he thought. And his knowledge of the past becomes less useful with every change he makes. He went back to make things better, but now can't seem to stop them from getting worse. Can he fix his mistakes before there's no future to get back to?What if the ending of RoTT was never meant to be a happy ending, but just a set up for a "how the hell is he gonna fix this mess?" part 2?My sporadic, amateur illustrations starting at chapter 9.

A Hundred Lifetimes

by dearest_sparksandstars

Claire Nunez had not lived an ordinary life. It had started as mundane and ordinary as any, but when she met one, James Lake Jr, she knew the rest would be far from it.“I’ll make sure this isn’t goodbye,” he’d said, but that was seven years, four months, and twenty-three days ago. And it had surely felt like a goodbye.

when you wake there's something for it

by Blyth3

“The first thing I want you to know,” Aris said to Kamet, appearing in the doorway and startling Pheris, who was extracting a scroll from a messy shelf, “is that Costis is alive.” Aris was flushed and slightly out of breath, wearing the more ornately decorated armor that meant he had been on guard in a formal setting before he had come here.(Inspired by a prompt somewhere, probably on tumblr, about the "less scary" member of a couple going a little feral when their partner is hurt. Ended up a little mellower.)

cause i don't need this life, i just need (somebody to die for)

by orphan_account

Jim Lake Jr. is tired. He's been going back over and over for the person he's been trying to save, time and time again. But he just keeps slipping from his grasp, always making that sacrifice one way or another.At some point, he's stopped caring about holding up the world on his shoulders and trying to be this paragon of goodness.And Toby Domzalski notices.(Jim repeats the same three years on loop, all for Toby. There are consequences - and not the ones he expects.)

The Problem with Jim

by Norickayer

So it’s 2016 once again, Toby is the Trollhunter, and Jim is barely keeping it together. It’s hard enough to face his resurrected friends and family and pretend everything is fine, but Jim’s support system has been gutted. His mentors are enemies, his allies are strangers, and his girlfriend doesn’t even know his name. Alas, Destiny is not done with James Lake Jr, and will be taking him on a whirlwind journey through speed-running friendships, necessary conspiracies, and the secret history of Changelings.This work is part of a series, but you can start here.

05 Reveal

by Cosmisa

Jim is back in the past; though, it’s much harder to pretend to be 15 years old again, when he’d been practically an adult that had saved the world. His friends might be dupe, but one teacher specialized in the art of deception sees right through him, though arrives at a different conclusion: that Jim has been replaced by a changeling.The obvious choice is to go at his house to beat him until he admits it, right? Although he doesn’t get that far, finding company in the form of Barbara Lake, who is not impressed at his reptilian antics.Prompt #05 of Arcadiatober: reveal

For All Time, Excalibur is Mine to Command

by Sorceress_El_430

After the war with the titans, Jim Lake Jr. used the time stone to go back 3 years, before he ever picked up Merlin’s trollhunter amulet, and gave Tobias Domzalski the chance to be the trollhunter in his stead. However, that exact turn of events was not what was supposed to happen. So the TVA swooped in to fix it. A Trollhunter in a supernatural agency outside of time itself, allied with two of the best analysts working there? What could possibly go wrong?Or:After changing things up after the disaster that was RoTT, Jim gets taken in by the Time Variance Authority, adopted by our favorite two TVA agents, and uncovers a mystery. Yay!!

But Jim knew, he was no hero, he just made a mess of everything. Turning back time to save his friends was the last time he’d ever put them in danger. Toby would take better care of it.Prompt #1 of Arcadiatober from Wenber's discord server: Hero

Pureed Adoration

by Oliver_Noctis

The Peninsula had been quiet for long enough, Eugenides supposed. And when his chefs ask for the twins-infants, whose teeth had not set in yet-to sample new dishes, Eugenides could only be grateful that this was the new fixation in Attolia's kitchens. //Flash Fic idea I got at 12AM, quality questionable.

Costis and Laela were not dissimilar. Kamet watched them together, and thought of the strange combination of Costis’s stubborn honesty and Laela’s careful lies that had brought them all here.
