I think the problem (especially with Disney) is what do you do with the characters then? There's not so much exciting happening in "happily ever after", so you'd have be coming up with new random conflict, I guess.

[(Anonymous)]

This. I think it'd work well as a short scene, but probably not as a longer fic unless you introduce a new conflict. Happily ever after endings are sweet, but not necessarily fascinating reads.

[(Anonymous)]

There is always elderly domestic fluff

[iceyred]

There's plenty you could do with the characters. The Beast and his servants were stuck in a non-human hell for several years. They were isolated and apart from the rest of the world. How do they get used to being humans again? What do they have to relearn? Do they have any families waiting for them? How do you handle the father who died while you were a teacup? The changing political scene that didn't account for a furry in your castle?

What about Mulan? She and the other soldiers saw some shit, man. How do you get the images of dead children's bodies out of your mind? How do you forget that time you blew up part of a palace? Or the time your friends and captain almost died fighting the Huns?

What about the Merfolk/Human political scene? You've got an export economy based on fish, and now your new queen is telling you the fish are sentient. Fuck.

Pocahontas: Oh sweet baby Jesus where do I start? Congrats, Nakoma. Your crush is dead (and you blame yourself 'cause you sent him after Pocahontas) and you've been invaded. The invaders bring diseases and the civil rights movement is a few hundred years away. Oh, Thomas? You just shot somebody and you get to have nightmares about that for the rest of your life. Welcome to your twenties!

Tiana and Naveen get to see that while Dr. Facilier is dead, some of his sentient Voodoo dolls are haunting New Orleans, stealing souls and raising hell (literally).

There's tons of stuff you can have happen to Disney characters. Most of it horrible!

[sarillia]

I really want that Princess and the Frog one.

[(Anonymous)]

I would really like to see Mulan coping with PTSD honestly...

And the Princess and the Frog ones sounds like it would be a dope sequel and now I'm sad that PatF will probably never get a sequel

[kallanda_lee]

But most of these sounds issues you'd resolve quite quickly after the movie ended, not 20+ years after?

[sarillia]

Isn't a lot of fanfic about coming up with conflicts that weren't in the canon? Why is this so different?

[leisuretime]

I always kind of assumed new conflict was a given, outside of fluff.

[(Anonymous)]

This.

We might end up with another "The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea" and that was bad enough.

[(Anonymous)]

Mister Ed would be sausage, Bambi steak, Simba a rug in front of Trumps fireplace...

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I'm in my 40s, and I don't want to read about older people. Unless they're fucking very young people.

[(Anonymous)]

creepy...

[fishnchips]

... Nothing against that concept in general but is that a turtleneck? That makes no damn sense outside of a modern AU.

[(Anonymous)]

That comment, paired with Tsukki's face, is absolute gold. I had the same thought.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes same. Especially because I love the idea of old friends/lovers catching up after having to split ways for several years.

Like who got married and divorced three times? Who tried to be happy and live a normal life but being a soldier was all they knew how to do so they just continued to throw themselves to conflict after conflict? Who has 4 kids and a dog? Who started their own company based on some joke they shared with you all those years ago?

WHERE ARE THEY NOW???

Honestly the biggest reason I loved Batman Beyond was old Bruce still acting like Bruce.

[grausam]

maybe I'm not used to seeing natural gray hair, but she looks more like 50 here

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, that doesn't look like most people's 40. Assuming she's not someone who just ages poorly, I'd put that picture at 50 or higher.

[(Anonymous)]

I would assume that's why OP said 40 and beyond, with the picture being "and beyond" definitely past 40. Nobody would think that's a 40 year old

[(Anonymous)]

I'd say more like 65+

[shahrizai]

This is one of the reasons I hate next gen stories, because the first gen just gets relegated to boring old adult status. Because apparently excitement dies by age 40.

[(Anonymous)]

Don't forget the beast!

Hell, I'm over 30 and I still like to read younger people and the now, instead of the future domestic sort of lifestyle, because I don't want to read about that settled lifestyle? To me, it's boring and I like the development and first crushes. Anything beyond that sort of just... flags for me. *shrugs* If we're talking past-story, political implications and psychological backlash from the crap they went through, sign me up! My biggest thing was always the adventures they went on and they didn't seem affected by it after. Show me the Pensieves dealing with being completely ordinary again, after living full lives and being kings and queens. Show me Mulan dealing with having to have had to kill, show me the effects of not being the servant, but being waited on hand and foot. There have been marvelous developments in literature where authors have tackled that, but not enough. I'm for that sort of extended story; but domesticated life was never quite my story to latch onto.
