Tamers Requiem

What is Tamers Requiem?

Well, it's a truly good series of Fanfics by CrazyEight that can be found on Fanfiction.net and a continuation of Digimon Tamers.

Book 1: Hazard's Sorrow involves a digimon named Lucemon emerging from the digital world to kill Guilmon, and he does. In the mean time, he's trapped in the human world badly injured and is taken in by a girl and her family. Eventually, Takato, out of grief attempts to ressurect Guilmon. It doesn't turn out as planned.

Book 2: A Time to Heal is merely a four chapter thinking piece and a teaser for Book 3: Less than Human, where the plot really comes forward. It also gets into Crossover territory with at least one other season and a movie.

Book 4: Revival and Book 5: Rise of Shadows take place several years later with a new menace coming forth in the form of a character named Prometheus, whose plans are rather sketchy.

There are also a few shorter stories for the series that fill in a few blanks, but aren't completely necessary to understand the storyline. These include Moonlight Lullaby (set between Book 1 and Book 2), Resting and Season's Bonds, A Knight's Heart, and Twists of Fate, Prelude to Revival (set between Book 3 and Book 4), and Book 0: Toys, Snowmen, and Digimon (a holiday prequel to Requiem that is set after the television show, but before Book 1).

Tamers Requiem contains examples of:

 * Adults Are Useless: Somewhat subverted. While the tamers will be the ones generally to save the day, Hypnos and the Monster Makers are actually fairly helpful at different points.
 * Ascended Extra: Miki and Ayaka get this treatment.
 * Attack Animal: Digimon quailify. And some of the people outside the main characters see them ONLY as this or as a threat to all humanity. Those people are the ones to watch out for.
 * Batman Gambit and Evil Plan: These seems to be Prometheus' specialty, though Oni seemed to do a reasonable job at this as well.
 * Beta Test Baddie:
 * Big Bad: Lucemon in Book 1
 * in Book 3
 * Prometheus in Books 4 and 5
 * Break the Cutie: They seemed to love this trope even in Digimon Tamers (just ask Jeri if you don't believe me). Top five examples in Requiem include:

 * Crossover: The author manages to cross Digimon Tamers over with
 * Darker and Edgier: Just as Digimon Tamers was considered this in regards to the earlier installments of the franchise, Tamers Requiem manages to take it even further while still remaining true to the spirit of the series. When one of the main characters dies early in the first book and sends his partner into a state of desperate depression as a result, you know that anything can go.

 * Because Lucemon killed Guilmon, Takato tried to bring his friend back by rescanning the original picture. Only problem is that instead of the naive, sweet, bread-loving reptile, he ended up with.
 * Or we could consider how the fight between Beelzemon and Megidramon in Digimon Tamers.
 * Even creating Guilmon in the first place seemed to have a few unexpected side effects. The Digi-Gnomes had to get the data they used to make him from somewhere. They just chose a very unwise source. Cue mindless, X-program zapping, nightmare showing up in the park.
 * Rika... She tries to break.
