The Moonlit Thread
is a Rick and Morty fanfic by Sillycritter.
After a year of dealing with his chaotic grandfather, Morty is taken aback when Rick offers him a no-strings-attached vacation to a resort planet. Is this another scheme, or will Morty see the human side of his grandfather?
’’The Moonlit Thread’’ contains the following tropes
- Education Mama: The Smith parents bar Rick from dragging Morty on any adventures on days before a major exam.
- Jerkass Has a Point: Morty laments that the crazy world Rick is dragging him would be better than his boring public school.
- No Sense of Personal Space: Morty does not appreciate Rick barging into his room without warning.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Morty is ‘’horrified’’ when Rick acts like a happy prospector after fulfilling one of his grandfather’s errands.
- Sucky School: One of the reasons Morty grudgingly goes along with Rick’s adventure is because he agrees with his grandfather that anything would be better than the boredom of his mundane school.
