There'll Be Another Time
is a LazyTown fanfic released in 2017, set ~6 years after the original series.
In this fanfic's fanon, LazyTown is on Joanna Island, a British dependency in the North Atlantic between Newfoundland and Greenland; the island's time zone is UTC−03:00.
Tropes:
- Actor Allusion:
- Sportacus' real name is Magnús, after his actor Magnús Scheving.
- Robbie's last name is Karl, after his actor Stefán Karl Stefánsson.
- Trixie's last name is Burgess, after her actress Sarah Burgess.
- Camp Straight: A rare female example. Trixie always dresses masculinely, and even wears a tuxedo to the school dance, yet she goes on a date with a male character.
- Deconstruction Fic:
- Due to the kids growing up and no longer needing him to save them, Sportacus mostly spends all day exercising by himself and answering fan mail, and is very closed-off about his emotions.
- Pixel is in an advanced computer science class with an immense workload, and so he never has time to hang out with the other kids. He also has a practically non-existent sleep schedule.
- Due to being the youngest of the group, Ziggy is still in middle school while everyone else is in high school, and has been unable to make any new friends, so he is very lonely.
- Stingy's dad works as an accountant in Dublin (a well-known tax haven), and so is absent from the family.
- Trixie's tomboyish nature means that she is rejected by both the boys and girls at school, meaning that Stephanie is her only real friend.
- Robbie has stopped trying to rid the town of Sportacus, and so now spends all day in his lair by himself, and is therefore very lonely.
- Older Than They Look: Stephanie points out the fact that Sportacus never seems to age.
- Precocious Crush: Stephanie has a huge crush on Sportacus.
- You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious: Stingy points this out when Pixel calls him by his real name Lachlan.
