Little Miss Heropants is a Freedom Planet fanfic written by FireTrooper113
.
The story takes place sometime after the events of the game, where Lilac is suffering from PTSD from fighting Lord Brevon. Carol is trying her hardest to help her, as well as keeping Milla from knowing about Lilac's issues. Compounding this is the ever growing tensions between the three kingdoms in Avalice and Prince Dail of Shuigang's disappearance. The Royal Magister employs Team Lilac to find Dail, and Lilac, despite her inner turmoil, accepts the job. However, her hallucinations and nightmares about Brevon are becoming too much to bear. Will she pull it together and find Prince Dail, or will she break down completely?
