Time Travel AU

Time Travel AU is a popular AU (Alternate Universe) within the Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons fandom. In the AU, Rapunzel, Merida, Hiccup and Jack Frost are taken through their time from their perspective eras. This can be considered an offshoot to Sci-Fi AU.

About this AU[]

In this AU, one or more of the main characters of the fandom are sent through time in meeting the other characters.

In the early stages of the crossover, fans were looking for ways that the four characters could possibly cross paths. If the events of Rise of the Guardians occurred in the year the film was released (which would have been 2012), and Jack had been an immortal spirit for 300 years, then the year of his death would have been 1712. Hiccup, however, would have lived much before this time because the Viking era lasted from the late 8th century to the late 11th century. The time period in which Rapunzel and Merida would have lived is less clear, though a brief mention of Vikings in Brave would mean that Merida's story probably happened around the same time as Hiccup's (700-800 A.D.) and Tangled probably occurred during the 11th through 13th centuries.

Because of this, some fanfic writers have come to the idea that time travel was possible, either through magical artifacts or through the meddling of magical figures like the Man in the Moon.

Extra Characters[]

Wilbur Robinson[]

Since Wilbur has spend time in a time machine that his Dad had built and had used it to back in time, he can be portrayed as himself or a fulltime Time Traveler. In the video game version of Meet the Robinsons, that tells of the events before he met his father's younger self, Wilbur had treated the Time Machine as a toy that he could play with. Despite being told not to and not being carful had caused events that changed his timeline, until he went back to fix them and made himself swear that he'll be more careful in his time traveling.

Wilbur has also been cast as well known Time Travelers from films and TV shows, like the Doctor from the Doctor Who series and Marty McFly from Back to the Future.

Mr. Peabody[]

Since Peabody posses a Time Machine (and a door that allowed him and Sherman to go back in time, in the original TV show that the film is based on), he and Sherman can be portrayed as fulltime Time Travelers.

Ombric Shalazar[]

Since Ombric is known as Father Time, he can easily be portrayed as a Time Traveler as he uses his powers to travel himself and his allies through time.

Ted Wiggins[]

Fans like to imagine what would happen if Ted learned the Once-ler's story by traveling through time and taking part in it, rather then hearing it from the old man. Should Ted have heard the Once-ler's story before being sent to the past, he would try to change the outcome and make the Once-ler's younger self listen to reason before the last Truffyla Tree was cut down.

Jim Lake Jr.[]

Jim has went on three trips in time. The first being a second chance for him to live his life without stepping into the world of trolls while thinking that things will sort themselves out on their own, until he realises why he needs to stay the Trollhunter. His second time travel trip wasn't intestinal and ends up being trapped in the mid-12th century, along with Jim and his friends doing what they can to save the future timeline within the timeline they accidently damaged. Jim's final has him going back to the very beginning of his journey to save the friends they lost in Rise of the Titans, and to see if the sad outcome from the original timeline will be better in the new timeline. As he is the only one who remembers it, while his former role as the first human Trollhunter is given to Toby.
