The Melinda Chronicles is a crossover fanfic written by Shoboni.The story takes place alternate universe of the game canon where immortals exist in Sonic’s universe. It’s mainly centered around fan characters that happen to be immortals and their interactions with the main cast.The main protagonist is Melinda Prower, an old immortal that happens to be Tails adoptive mother within the AU. It tends to focus on the strange circumstances that arise for such a bizarre family and opens with an unfortunate public death resulting in Melinda waking up in the morgue. This leads to her finally having to let Tails friends in on her secret and explain (with no shortage of hurdles) about immortals.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })From then the story begins to focus on her own life and past (sometimes as it comes back to haunt her), as well as her relationships with the main cast as everyone adjusts to this revelation of the existence of immortals and finding out she’s one.It’s written as a series multiple stories of varying length much like story arcs of a TV Show. The genre shifts around between drama, action, adventure, and slice of life.The stories in their most organized form can be found on Archive of Our Own and the author’s DeviantArt (which also includes Bonus Material such as concept art and full uploads of story covers in it’s work folder) | |

Immortal Procreation Clause | |
| The Melinda Chronicles (Fanfic) / int_1be36a63 | comment |
Immortal Procreation Clause: Same as with Highlander canon immortals can't produce children. This has never stopped Melinda from adopting various children as her own like Maxwell and Tails. | |

Black Comedy | |
| The Melinda Chronicles (Fanfic) / int_222dc873 | comment |
Black Comedy: Usually invoked by Melinda since she routinely comes back from the dead and can walk off some pretty gnarly injuries. She claims developing such a dark sense of humor is a sort of coping mechanism. | |

Distant Finale | |
| The Melinda Chronicles (Fanfic) / int_3318a1cb | comment |
Distant Finale: Actually opens with one. A Mother's Goodbye consists of Melinda at Tails' grave after he passes of old age and everyone else is also long gone. She spends the short chapter reminiscing about the time she got to spend with everyone and saying her final goodbyes. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| The Melinda Chronicles (Fanfic) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early Installment Weirdness: Being the first story written in the series, A Mother's Goodbye suffers from this. Melinda's characterization comes off a lot more serious and somber in contrast to her later portrayal as laid back, often snarky and prone to One of the Kids tendencies. The opposite is also true with Revelations retconning a lot of scenes to be more serious and emotional than she describes them while reminiscing. | |

Polly Wants a Microphone | |
| The Melinda Chronicles (Fanfic) / int_672b0bfd | comment |
Polly Wants a Microphone: The bird in the baggage car Melinda hides in to steal a ride to the Mystic Ruins has shades of this. It argues with her and mocks her, even telling her she's in trouble when they hear someone coming. We only see the tail end of the ride but it's implied the exchange has been going the entire trip. | |

Immortality Begins at Twenty | |
| The Melinda Chronicles (Fanfic) / int_7ffca8c4 | comment |
Immortality Begins at 20: Melinda IS actually around 19-20 (at least physically) because that's when she suffered her first death but it's ultimately averted since Immortals stop aging the minute they become immortal. Kai is explicitly froze in his early 30s and Isa/Frostbite is noted to look about Sonic's age. | |

Resurrective Immortality: The method by which Highlander immortals function. They can be "killed" but won't stay that way as long they keep their head. Also the means in which they become immortal since it remains doormat until they suffer their first death | |

Who Wants to Live Forever?: Played with. All the non-evil immortals we've met so far clearly feel the pain of watching mortals they care about grow old and die while they live on. HOWEVER, they also take the bittersweet view that continuing to live and love while experiencing so much is worth the pain. | |
