So... Jurassic Park fanfiction....

General
Object In Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear.
So... this story idea I've had in my head lately has been encompassing all my brainpower. p.q I'm still drawing, don't worry, got commissions under way still, but this has been distracting me like crazy.
Well, I want to see Jurassic Parks 1 and maybe 2 tie in somewhere with Jurassic World. I don't like the plot of the third movie very much and I'll explain why as I go, so I've decided it's all just literally Dr. Grant's nightmare that he's been having since 2001. The whole thing just.... makes more sense as a terrible, terrible dream. I did like certain aspects of the film, but overall it felt like a huge middle finger as a lifelong JP and Grantler OTP fan(Alan Grant/Ellie Sattler is my One True Pairing). So here I am, taking things into my own claws with my own version.
Things I'm looking to fix with this story/important plot points:
- Alan's totally married to Ellie. There's no question in my mind. They stuck together after the trauma of the first film, clinging to each other to try to regain a sense of Safety. There's no therapy for surviving a night being hunted by prehistoric monsters, and I just have this image of them sobbing in each others' arms every morning to cope with their night terrors. Ellie didn't get it as bad; after multiple, more peaceful, visits to the island, she's reconciled that the place isn't all bad. She was patient enough to put up with Alan's shit, and it seemed to me that she really loved him even if he didn't want a family at first(but that look that he gives her when the kids are sleeping in his lap on the helicopter totally said to me, "Check it out, Ellie, maybe I do want kids now"). Now the new park is opening, his post-traumatic stress is resurfacing, and he clings to her like.... some sort of clingy thingy. It's weirdly codependent and a little unhealthy. That's how insanity manifests sometimes.
-Third film was literally one of Alan's night terrors. The thought of Ellie leaving scares him far more than dinosaurs ever could.
-They had a son named Samuel Neil Grant. Yeah, real original, I know. :P I did the math, and if he was born just after the first movie he could be 21 and go on vacation to Jurassic World without his parents finding out... so he thinks. I felt like that should have been the focus of the third movie, but nope, they had her married to some dumb putzy government asshole with a 3 and 1 year old. So, that'll be scrapped, they have one kid, he's 21 now, he got stuck there in the middle of the “containment anomaly” in JW, and is taking cover in one of the buildings with other survivors.
- So, Laura Dern is going to be in the next Star Wars movie(very exciting!), which inspired me to give Ellie some Jedi powers allowing her to mentally connect with animals. They've been manifesting since the first film(ever wonder why Rexy saved they asses?). And yes, I've been watching Star Wars Rebels. :P Alan's been seeing a halo of gold radiating from her body for about as long, but he thinks it's a stress hallucination. And I figure that if I'm creating my alternate canon, why not cross a little toward Star Wars? I've contemplated a scene where Ellie has a lightsaber battle with Dr. Wu, but.... we'll see.
- We totally need a scene where they get swallowed by Rexy. Don't worry, they're able to escape without hurting her. But this is Jurassic Park, and thus vore needs to happen. I just see it going like this:
Ellie: "We're going to die down here!"
Alan: "I know."
Cue sexy make-out scene inside a Tyrannosaurus. Because to me, that is totally hot. >.>;
- Upon watching JP3 again, I realized I'd forgotten that Billy lives through getting pecked by Pteranodons. I was very disappointed with this because it's Jurassic Park, and people who screw with shit die in Jurassic Park. He stole those raptor eggs and should have been snuffed! So I put him in as the first casualty.
- Talking raptor dream sequence. Hear me out here: If that scene were relevant to the plot in any way, it wouldn't have been so terrible. I imagine Alan waking up on the way to rescue his son and the raptor speaking in Ellie's voice, telling Alan to come find her. This raptor is different from the previous raptors he encountered: it has a blue stripe down each side of its body. (Spoiler alert that you totally saw coming: This is Blue.) It also works with the theme of night terrors and post-trauma that I'm working with here. And psychic weirdness will be canon now, so....
- InGen still called on them for favors for several years after the first film. They're basically indentured to the company now; if Alan wants funding for his dig, he has to do certain favors for them. However, after the third mission to the island, Alan refuses to return again. I always hated that they bought him off with money in the third film! I feel that nothing short of a loved one in danger, at this point, would ever get him to return there. Ever. As I've said, Ellie will have visited the island far more times than Dr. Grant. By the time they wrangled the escaped carnivores, what was left wasn't so bad, and Ellie(unknown to Grant, or anyone for that matter) uses her mental powers to connect with the large herbivores to round them back up. She also studies the plant life on the island; neither Hammond nor Wu would tell her how the prehistoric plants came to be on that island, so she studies them as best she can, recording every species in most of the herbivore paddocks for her own research. By 2015, when our story takes place, neither of them had returned to the island for several years; InGen no longer need their help, but they did need their amber. Grant's team is required to relinquish all amber-trapped insects from the site directly to InGen's genetics department. Things get really bad for Alan's mental state when they uncover a preserved Utahraptor hand inside a particularly large chunk of amber. I based this on actual finds of small dinosaur arms and tails inside amber recently. I keep myself well-informed about paleontology these days. :3
- This story will also make references to the game ARK: Survival Evolved, mainly because I made Ellie as my character on there. :B And the cheat command for auto-taming a dinosaur on there is literally “forcetame”so that also ties in to the Jedi thing. Let's just say that Nublar has similar plants to The Island. Narcoberries will be mentioned.
- Nudity and sex! These were lacking in all 4 films, but I know the fandom doesn't see it that way! (Cue montage of Blue/Owen porn and sexy shirtless Malcolm.) I haven't seen enough Grantler porn, but I'm hoping to inspire more of it. O:3 Also, their relationship is kinda BDSM. Alan's the bottom and refers to Ellie as his “alpha female.”
-The Return to Jurassic Park and Raptor trilogy comics will be canon. So much PTSD fodder, dear god! I read them yesterday as research, and.... yeah, I like them enough that events from there will get mentioned. Also Alan and Ellie are a canon pairing in that which is why I kept reading it all night. :P
And that's what I've got planned. As an extra bonus, here's a sample, my new talking raptor dream:
Now that he was settled in his seat, Alan pulled his hat down over his face and leaned back. The stress of the day took a lot out of him, and he suddenly felt exhaustion overcome him. He was asleep within minutes.
He was on the helicopter, looking around. No one was in sight.
“Ellie?” he called. No answer. Are they all having a secret meeting without me? Is this on autopilot? Wait.... Shouldn't someone be flying this thing?
Behind him, a raptor hooted; the distinct sneeze-cough was made by their skull's resonating chamber. He turned.
Hauntingly familiar bird-lizard eyes gazed back at him. It was a raptor. It sneeze-coughed once more and advanced slowly, making a series of slow clicking calls and rapping its toe-talons on the floor. Alan felt cold terror well up from inside him. He took a slow, calculated step away from the animal.
From the left came a shriek as another raptor charged out of nowhere, knocking Alan to the floor. He struggled, but the hot breath was upon his face and the claws held him down at the shoulders. Alan reached toward the pilot's chair, yelling Ellie's name at the top of his lungs. When he turned his head to look, he saw another raptor sitting there wearing Ellie's clothes. This one was a pale gray and had a streak of blue across each eye, continuing down the neck.
It opened its mouth and said one word: “Alan...”
It spoke with Ellie's voice.
“Come find me, Alan.”
It lunged.
Alan screamed himself awake.
So, I guess what I'm trying to say is: Would anyone be interested in reading that? Might post what I've got with enough interest; the first chapter's almost wrapped up.
Also expect illustrations at some point. Ellie in leather and Alan in rope bondage, mmmmm.
