Hello everyone!  I know that I said we’d be looking at the next chapter of that Wheel of Fortune fic, but I’ll get to that next week instead.  Now that “of wolf and woman” is done, I decided to go looking for a one-shot.  I haven’t done any one-shots in a while.  Having just finished replaying Chrono Trigger recently, I gravitated toward that section of fanfiction.net.  We’ve only had one CT fic thus far, so it is a relatively untouched topic here in the Library.

For those who need a reminder, CT is about a guy named Crono and his troupe of friends that have to save the world by zipping back and forth in time.  Along the way you have the potential to pick up a total of seven party members.  Three of those are from your own time.  One is from the stone age, one is from medieval times, one is from the future, and the last one (an optional character, you can chose to kill him instead, although you’d be a dumb-ass not to want him in your party) is technically from a time between medieval and stone age, although due to events that you’re actually part of, he ends up stuck in the medieval time from the point of his childhood until his mid-adulthood.

This story, “Magus Trigger” is supposedly what would happen if that optional character – Magus – were actually the protagonist of the story.  It’s not a horrible concept.  But this story, being a badfic, is a horrible attempt at said concept.
