For a fairly popular character, Future Trunks really doesn't have much

in the way of fanfics. Especially in crossovers. Which, considering his time machine, and traveling through time and space, provides plenty of opportunity.

Even non-crossovers with him are rare for DBZ fanfics. And a good portion of those have him somehow getting together with 18. Of his timeline.

So, anyone know any good Future Trunks fanfics? They could be complete or still ongoing (preferably not abandoned), I'm not too picky. Crossovers or not as well.

I was working on one that tried to continue Trunks' story after his arc in Super. The main premise would be creating a divide between the two Trunkses that would meet shortly after. The one that came from DBS would end up focusing on the forms he saw his father use, slowly turning SSJ Rage into SSG through focusing on the God ki by the headcanon idea that SSJ Rage has God ki mixing with SSJ. While the other Trunks would end up eventually getting Ultimate form like Gohan. The idea I liked the most about this project was that while trying to come up with a plan for Black, the DBS Trunks would remember someone who could help them that would be happy to kill a person in Goku's body. Android 16. But I ended up with writer's block, despite wanting to figure out a way for 16 to be relevant once woken up. Because in Trunks' timeline, as far as we know, he's still in that lab unactivated. And before anybody asks I was going to have Beerus stuck in a nap and refusing to wake up, in a comedic way, to ignore how Beerus and Whis told Trunks they'd take care of Zamasu. But by the time the immortal Merged Zamasu would show up, he'd be necessary to wake up so that him and Whis can show their "method of dealing with immortality that's better than the Mafuba" that they told Goku about.

Honor Trip. 84 chapters, half the story takes place in the future, with Trunks as a MC. It's unfinished, but does complete that arc.

Looked some of it up, and eh. I give props to the writer for doing it for 5 years, but the type of story isn't quite up my alley. Thanks for the tip.

Point of No Return, possibly the best DB Fic:

Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

Future Trunks one of the most well-developed characters in the franchise. It's hard to do things with him at hasn't already been done.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

That's why I'm a big fan of crossovers. You can put even normally well developed characters into worlds with completely new characters, making new experiences.

He's the main character of DB heroes essentially, especially the first couple of arcs.

I think we might see more of him in the future with the double trunks timeline thing, but who knows.
Yamcha almost certainly did not cheat on Bulma:
He was afraid of Women, Bulma was the flirty one.
Yamcha wanted to get married (it was his gonna be his wish)
He suggested they settle down in the Trunks saga.
Alternate future Trunks is not a reliable source.
Toriyama wanted new SSJ Kids and not make new characters.
