Alright, so this is my Western themed multi-crossover "A Fistful of Gemstones". Here's the plot:
"When Merida and her cousin Hiccup learn of two Gemstones that were made by their ancestors buried deep in the Spanish desert, they set off, along with Hiccup's friends and Toothless, to find them, hoping that they will represent their families. Along the way, they meet a young revenge seeking drifter named Django (an OC I created for the story), two swashbuckling cats (Puss in Boots and Kitty Softpaws), and two witch hunting siblings (Hansel and Gretel) who join the group in a race against others (Outlaws, Bandits, Assassins, Soldiers, and a group of desert witches) to reach the gemstones.
I had wanted to do a western themed story for a while now, I wanted to do a multi-crossover that still retains the settings and characters from each of their respective films, but at the same time, does it in a completely different genre, the western genre, which I wanted to tackle for a very long time. My interest in westerns first started earlier this year when I was thinking about the recent movie "Hansel and Gretel: witch hunters" and felt that the steampunk weapons in that movie would fit well in a western, and I also thought about the recent western "Django Unchained" and learned more about a sub-genre that started in the 1960s known as "Spaghetti Westerns" (westerns that were filmed in Europe and were directed and produced by Italians). Then in April, I watched the iconic Spaghetti western "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" (1966) (which stared the young Clint Eastwood, and was directed by an Italian filmmaker named Sergio Leone) which gave me even more inspiration to the story. The story will feature many references to Westerns and Spaghetti Westerns. Even the title itself is a reference to a Spaghetti Western titled "A Fistful of Dollars" (1964) which was also directed by Leone and stared Clint Eastwood.
The name for my OC Django was inspired by the name for the protagonist from the movie "Django Unchained", as well as the 1966 Spaghetti Western titled "Django" and many other, I just liked the name so much that decided to give my OC that name, since it has been used multiple times in many Spaghetti Westerns, and the name sounds interesting. I'm not claiming the name as an original Idea, but my character will be an OC in this story. Just giving you the heads up.
This will also be my first story to include a soundtrack. This is basically YouTube links for songs and music that will appear in a certain chapter to go with the scene. There will be some music from the films that I crossover, but it will mostly have music and soundtracks from many westerns which I am using to fit into the story for a specific scene.
Crossing Brave and HTTYD was there from the start, I added Puss in Boots into the mix because of the settings and landscapes in the movie (also the characters, which I will appear in the story), and I included Hansel and Gretel from "Hansel and Gretel: witch hunters" (who were played by Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton) because of them being fairy tale characters (like Puss in Boots) and because of their steampunk, retro-futuristic weaponry which I think would also fit in the story, and created a few for the OC's that I made for the story. I also included the idea of Merida and Hiccup as cousins, an Idea that I really liked after reading the fic "Long Lost Relations" by Luna Awesomesauce 1012 ( s/8487814/1/Long-Lost-Relations) that I decided to use in the story. Though I am trying to keep some of it as distant from their story as possible, if the author is reading this.
I guess I have explained a lot to you guys, so on with the story, I hope you like it, and that It inspires others to do their own western theme stories. And now, I present to you "A Fistful of Gemstones"
