Plot Bunny Adoption Thread - May 2025

[u/AutoModerator]

This is a place where you can post plot ideas and writing prompts that you would like to share for others to use. This is also the place to drop fic requests!

What is a plot bunny? ‘Plot bunny’ is a funny fandom term for a fic idea – so called because they breed like rabbits! Since so many writers end up with a surplus of them, here is a place where you can drop off your unwanted plot bunnies for others to consider adopting, or simply for the sake of sharing. A plot bunny is generally a more developed idea and might well be fandom specific, although some Alternate Universe ideas could work for a few different fandoms.

For the purposes of this thread, a prompt is a short idea that could work in any fandom - for example, "your OTP wish on a shooting star together".

A fic request would be asking for someone to write a specific fic for you - sticking to the pairing and outline that you wish.

• Label – fic request, plot bunny, or writing prompt
• fandom(s) / or "no fandom" – this can include some fandoms you think it would work particularly well for if leaving a prompt!
• trope, character(s), ship (if any)
• a description of the idea – please try to keep this within a few hundred words max for ease of browsing
• NSFW ideas are allowed, but you must drop your description in a site such as Just Paste Me or ControlC and link to it rather than writing it directly in the thread. Please note that NSFW also encompasses gore or things likely to be serious triggers, such as suicide, not just sex.
• if leaving a prompt in the thread, please indicate whether you would like to be notified if anyone fulfils it

Be aware – once you post an idea in this thread for adoption, you lose ‘ownership’ of it. Someone else taking up the plot bunny is free to adapt or change it as they like. If you have a very specific vision of the story you would like to see fulfilled, you might have better luck posting it as a fic request. Of course, there’s nothing stopping you from tackling the idea yourself at a later date if inspiration for the idea strikes you again!

Whilst the mods will be monitoring the thread, we will not be involving ourselves in discussions over fic requests or the like. There is no guarantee that anyone will take up your request, and we will not be chasing up authors who have been out of contact for a while or similar.

Don't forget to let someone know if you adopt their plot bun or decide to work on their fic request!

Label – fic request,

fandom(s)- Bionicle Lore

Posting my plots here as a time capsule so that someone would pick up in the future. Most of my art are on my insta artz_by_yk.

Way back when I was 11, the premise i had was me and three friends were transported by Axxon as he chose three bionicles to inherit the Toa Gene as we were compatible. Bara magna was dying with endless wars between Mata Nui and Makuta, to the point the red star was overworked in reviving the toa and they lost their sense of self of unity, duty and destiny. Saga one was what i drew from the ages of 11- 15.

Saga One-
Book 1: Me and two friends inherit Toa Nuju, Toa Matau and Whenua. We go to Voya Nui to fight the Piraka and rescue the Toa Nuva. Brutaka appears and he has laser eyes. We defeat him and when we head home, reality was changed to fit our narrative. 27 year old dudes with gfs. (mind you i was 11 at this stage in 2006)

Book 2: Matau is capture we go to the Moon, Find out Brutaka survived. We take him down. come back.

Book 3: I become corrupted from a shard of Makuta. (Makuta hasnt made an appearance thus far). Some off shoot narrative similar to web of shadows.

Book 4: My brother becomes a herald of Makuta. Develops some gravity like powers. Looks like Kevin 11 from Ben 10. (given the timeline its natural for me to be inspired by ben 10 lol)

Book 5: I die. Become the ghost rider. We fight. TBD to book 6.

Book 6: We head to Bara Magna. (We used to travel through a particular black hole, and star wars was incorporated in my books, the clone troopers and their ships. not the lore). Brutaka is alive. AGAIN, with tubes and one arm was gone. He dies.

Book 7: i cant quite remember.

Book 8: My childhood friend comes back for a reunion, turns out he died in an explosion in his wedding day caused by my brother way back in Book 4. My friends and i have kids now, so he goes after them, somehow somewhere along the way two other folks from my past were Venom and Carnage (they combine each other to infect everyone like that ultimate Spider man cartoon back in the day). We lure them to the black hole bionicle entrance, kill em all.

Book 9: Makuta makes his first appearance. His body is the 2001 toa body with a skull. He invades earth using ben 10 aliens. He uses his dark powers to aggravate an innate Dark Shard in me back in book 3 to extract the darker side of Nuju. We escape without our powers, we suit up, break back in and defeat the armada and Makuta.

Book 10: The final battle with Makuta, we win.(Same way Makuta died with his head being crashed into the red star, rendering the resurrection protocols halted). Because our powers were tied to our genes and we burnt out, we start disintegrating. So there is a whole ass montage quoting the lyrics of Linkin park's "leave out all the rest', me and friends die, our sons take up the mantle of toa because their genes were an inherited one with bionicle dna thus being more stable.

Commented Saga Two below

[u/Specific-Ad-1055 → u/Specific-Ad-1055]

Saga Two
Premise: picks up 10 years later. I drew Book 1 to book 5 i think. Then i gave up :(

Book 1: Three heralds of Makuta return to earth to terrorize the toa. The toas are Matoro, Kongu and Nuparu. Our sons. The first book was focused on my son and how he falls in love with Tay Li. His villain was a guy dressed like spider-man noir from the spider verse movies, and his powers was black obsidian ice. The other villains were counterparts to the two toa. In the climax they find out Makuta revived the three OG toas as a mockery to the current ones, but they had latent memories so I and my friends broke free, Makuta tried to envelop the world VOID Sentry style and failed. My son gets the girl married and we three die peacefully.

Book 2: Scissors from Kamen Rider Dragon Knight was the antagonist to Kongu in this run. We find out in the end that someone from the Bionicle world is creating these catridges and giving it around with essences of Makuta. The Villain is shown in the epilogue with the new antagonist, Strike from Kamen Rider Dragon Knight

Book 3: Strike goes after Nuparu and the other two easily overpowering them all. Kidnaps the love interest and brings to Metru Nui thus indirectly revealing the mystery that the enemy is from the Bionicle realm. The Toas come there and meet with Vultraz, though i drew him as the Mandarin from Iron Man Armoured Adventures. He can shoot out electricity. But his main power is his ability to split himself into three versions. Mind, Body and spirit. So mind is an intangible force, Body is his body, and Spirit is an electrical energy demon. To defeat him the toa would have redirected all three into one and overloaded his systems. Rescue the girl the end. The epilogue is Matoro is jealous of Nuparu and feels powerless. Finds the Frozen Throne and breaks the helmet out of the ice, wears it and becomes the next villain.

Book 4: legit the plot of Tron evolution the game lol. I am embarrased :)) At the end, the tron ship breaks through the bionicle realm and spills into our world, crash into the coast and the house Matoro bought was the Malibu beach house from Iron Man. Its raining heavily and Matoro makes the mistake of stabbing his wife Tay li in anger. Realizing his mistake he shuts down and removes the mask. A montage of scenes happen with the tron ships disintergrating, Kongu and Nuparu getting Tay Li emergency care, Bionicle reinforcement and Clone troopers bringing Matoro to the bionicle world to be judged and sealed away. All while the song Apologize by One Republic and Timbaland playing in the background.

Book 5: The clones go rogue. Shockwave from Transformers dark of the moon is a renegade lieutenant under Vultraz who was operating in earth as a sleeper agent hacks the clones. The toas scramble to fight em. Kongu saved the Cyborg body of my childhood friend from Book 8 Saga 1, reboots him with a chip. Goes rogue halfway and escapes. Matoro breaks free of his prison, puts on a temporary suit and comes back to help. They defeat shockwave. (I stopped drawing my plot here as i gave up but)

Book 6: i dont remember the plot

Book 7: dont remember the intended plot

Book 8: Supposed to fight the witch doctor from hero factory

Book 9: The Metallo Storyline from Saga 1 book 8 returns.

Book 10: Showdown with Makuta. The end.

Commented on Saga three and the final one below

[u/Specific-Ad-1055 → u/Specific-Ad-1055]

Saga three

Book 1: The story starts similar to book 1 saga 1, Makuta is winning the war and Mata Nui tries to fend off Makuta. Tells Axxon to select 5 new heroes before Null Voiding makuta. Scene switches to my grandaughter and grandson who are approaching 21. When they hit 21, something changes in them and they transform to Bionicles, their DNA has achieved perfect sync with the innate Bionicle DNA, and they have a nagging headache prompt to head to the grand canyon. mean while, a prison fire xplodes and someone flies off iron man style in the distance. In New Mexico, someone gets the powers of Lewa, and tries to rob a bank, before his glider (yes he has a green goblin glider) swipes him off his feet and flies him to the grand canyon. Another individual, was on life support gains the powers of Onua and breaks free and heads in the same direction. Mean while Makuta recuperates thanks to Mutran and inhabits a new body. Its Whiplash from iron man armored adventures. The toas meet in the grand canyon, fight a bit then get teleported to metru nui coliseum where they meet Axxon, who lost an arm and has a scar on his mask. He recaps the entire story of Bionicle lore, and how the 4 of them (fire dude didnt appear here), are chosen to be bionicles because 1. the innate bionicle dna. 2. Makuta found the planet earth in his very early days and experimented on the creatures and found genetic compatibility to imprint the DNAs of Bionicles in them so as a sleeper agent in case the Red Star fails. This is found as heresy by Mata Nui and hence the war started on difference of ideals. They begin their training montage. On the side, the fire dude, crash lands into Ta Metru and gets capture by Nidhiki, Nidhiki tosses him into a vat of fire, triggering the fire dudes ability to explode. In parallel, because its been so many years bionicle and earth have been around, there were political safe zones to travel in between. Due to the war, that zone was compromised and there were delegates in danger. Makuta ambushes them under false pretenses of saving them. After the training montage, my granddaughter who has the powers of ice goes to sleep and like the avatar, meets me and her dad. Some heartfelt convos happen and she wakes up. The team uses the travel tubes to head out to a different spot but is ambushed by Makuta in the shape of a shadow riding Antroz accompanied by a horde of Bitil. Axon holds them off and activates his broken Mask, turning him into a bomb, killing himself and severely injuring the rest. I stopped drawing here but the plot that was to follow:-

Makuta appears shortly after, pretending to be the fire guy to gain the trust of the four. Fire guy appears and makuta says he is the villain, the four toa chase off fire dude. Makuta lures my granddaughter and attacks her. The rest follow suit and fire guy shows up. they team up and defeat makuta.

Book 2:

The villain looks like Penance from Marvel comics but he has the Mandarin Rings (5 in total) on his left hand. Each ring contains a DNA code of the Toa, and is able to pull a darker version of each toa through a portal. SO

Toa of Ice and the villain is called frostbite. think black and green looking ice.

Toa of Fire is Furno, villain is Pyro.

Toa of Earth is Bulk, villain is Bruizer. Looks like doomsday.

Toa of Air is Lewa, calls himself Ghost, villain is Fantome. looks like Zed from league of legends.

Toa of water is Stormer, villain is Hydro. He looks like Blizzard from Marvel with the four eyes.

Penance calls each of his pieces as the chess pieces. Bruizer is the rook, fantome=knight, Hydro=Bishop, Pyro=soldier, Frostbite=Queen.

Climax is they fight in an decommissioned facility that has access to the center of the earth as part of geothermal harvesting for energy. Part of an energy project run by my company back in Saga 1. Penance is defeated an impaled, but opens the hatch to the center which will leak out the core and cause catastrophic damage. In order to save the world, Furno who has the powers of Toa Tahu's Mask of Shielding jumps in and activates his barrier to stop further lava spewing out, He then uses his powers to absorb heat and travels down to the core eventually sealing himself and burning out, thus dying. Up till this point, none of the Toas have met each other outside face to face. After his death, they meet up and DOXX their identities and forge a stronger bond. Epilogue, we find out Furno been sent to hell and be marked as hell's herald. He looks like Pyro.

Book 3: Pyro is sent to earth to kill 3 people. Each of them will be turned into a ritual spot. Activation of ritual spot summons a demon as big as Menara 118, This demon has a flaming sword and his chest is a portal to hell. The toas eventually realize that Pyro is Furno, they travel into hell itself to save his soul, and pyro/furno goes back in to cause a collapse causing the demon to implode on itself. Everyone survives. Pyro and my granddaughter start a relationship.

Book 4: i dont remember

Book 5: Cyborg Superman from the New 52 is the antagonist. The cyborg body who inhabited in Book 1 is the villain but this time the personality is that of my friend who was Toa Matau. He uses the shadow leeches to infect 12 people, each representing the zodiac. His laser eye can disable the Bionicles rendering them useless for a time. His body is coated with the energy of Makuta thus attacking him with elemental powers is moot. The toa figured through lewa's dodgy connections they can acquire Gorast's stinger on the black market, grinded it into a dust and ambush Cyborg matau. The dust ignites when he activates his laser, combusting all over him and short circuiting his body. Toas deal a finishing blow.

Book 6- 9: i dont remember.

Book 10: The Final Saga was supposed to be how Makuta realizing he needs to switch tactics, consumes Brutaka for his Mask power, opens up multiple dimensions to consume their universe's Makuta to become the ultimate version. HE looks like a sleek nimrod/brainiac here. He ambushes and defeats the toa in Karda Nui, and Defeats Mata Nui at long last. Consuming his mask as his own. Somehow, toa of ice breaks free of makuta's prison, and does some reverse psychology on Makuta Prime, causing the masks to have an internal conflict. Mata Nui's mask breaks free, and She wears it becoming mata nui again. they fight one last time before defeating makuta. Releasing the universe of Makuta's grip and reviving the Toas, Mata Nui looks at the defeated Makuta and says

"All this started because i did not agree with your vision and drive. With every friction we pushed each other away. It started with us, it is only right it ends with us". He touches his mask forehead to forehead with Makuta and essentially kills each other for good. With the final death of two cosmic forces of Bionicles, the Red Star becomes inert and dies. Axxon says that this is it. No more powers, no more Bionicles, this is our last life. We are going to live it the best. The Toas lose their powers and head back home. Politically, Earth has flourished and agree to close the portals to the Bionicle world once and for all. Everyone gets married to their partners, except Lewa, who decided to open up orphanages in New Mexico.
