Of Love and Bunnies: Difference between revisions

 

Described by the author as a cleverly disguised crackfic, this fic was begun in January of 2005 and as of March of 2012 it has 119 chapters and remains ongoing. Features all manner of insane (but hilarious) hijinks, ridiculous (but hysterical) flashbacks, and the bizarre (but awesome) repercussions of Tommy and Kim's [[UST]]. While initially focused primarily on the original Mighty Morphin' Rangers and the Dino Rangers, there are increasingly frequent appearances and references to to other rangers as well.

 

{{tropelist}}

* [[Covered in Kisses]]: In one flashback, Tommy being thrown into a horde of fangirls results in this. Trauma ensues.

* [[Cranky Neighbor]]: Sort of. Tanya's neighbor Andrew Hartford (who will one day be Operation Overdrive's mentor) is quite fond of her. His butler Spenser on the other hand...though you can't blame him with all the property damage.

* [[Culture Clash]]: Kat Manx is utterly baffled by the human practice of friendly sparring matches. On her home world, they train in hand-to-hand combat by fighting enemy prisoners of war to the death.

** We're told that at Jason and Trini's wedding, one of the Alien Rangers attacked a bartender; since the Aquitians don't have alcoholic beverages, he assumed the guy was trying to poison him.

* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: Each chapter title is the name of an episode featuring the original rangers or the Dino Rangers.

* [[Idol Singer]]: Tanya is now a pop star. Kira is a HUGE fan.

'''Trini:'''Three years as a superhero making excuses for strange behavior, and that's all you've got? Tell them that you're dead? }}

* [[Kid From the Future]]: Sort of. Time Force's Yellow Ranger is a descended from Ethan.

* [[Keep-Away]]: Conner, Ethan, and Kira play this with Tommy's phone while talking to Jason and ultimately force their enraged teacher into bringing them along to Angel Grove.

** In chapter 46 Conner is about ten seconds behind the rest of the rangers during Kim's [[Double Entendre|double entendres]].

* [[Meanwhile Back At The]]: While most of the action is going on in Angel Grove, there are repeated shifts to Reefside, where an increasingly unhinged Angel Grove Police Officer attempts to prove that Tommy's a Ranger, Bulk and Skull (who came along with him) annoy Hayley and ruin Hayley's business by accusing random customers of being Rangers, and various characters get stranded in Mesogog's decaying lab, ultimately resulting in a horde of Mooks swarming the city.

* [[Mundane Utility]]: Justin's car breaks down on the way to the Ranger Kegger, so he summons Storm Blaster.

* [[My Sister Is Off-Limits]]: Played with. Tommy acts this way about Hayley, even though they're not related.

* [[No Bisexuals]]: Actually, nobody queer whatsoever. Which wouldn't stand out so much if it weren't for the fact that the authors are taking every opportunity to pair off as many of the 50+ rangers and rangers-to-be they've had show up in the story as possible, and not a single one has exhibited the slightest interest of anyone who isn't of the opposite sex.

** There's the off chance that Cassie is bi when drunk; Tommy lists off "Cassie's on her third margarita" among the people who could have been, but weren't, having sex with Hayley at the party, but that may have been more more ruling out Lucas than implicating Cassie.

* [[Shotgun Wedding]]: After Andros realizes Zhane and Karone have been getting it on, he starts chasing Zhane around demanding that they marry.

* [[Slap Slap Kiss]]: Tommy attempts to invoke this after deciding to get Kim back. It doesn't quite work.

* [[Squee]]: Conner does this a lot about hanging out with Jason. Surprisingly, Kira of all people does some serious squeeing when she realizes that the Tanya the older Rangers keep talking about is world-famous pop star/philanthropist and personal hero Tanya Sloan. Also Shane and Hunter do this when they meet Jason as does Dustin when he meets three of the past yellow rangers.

* [[Stable Time Loop]]: Late in the story, the Time Force Rangers return from the future to recruit people for the Earth branch of SPD, which will evolve into Time Force.

* [[Stalker Shrine]]: D.O.R.K.S. is busily building one to Tommy.

* [[Stalking Is Love]]: Yes, ''kidnapping'' Kim is a perfectly normal and healthy way to rekindle a relationship, to say nothing of a smitten Hunter ''literally'' stalking after Vida after she expresses an extreme desire to have nothing to do with him.

** Whoever said the Rangers were normal and healthy?
