Summary
Continuation of my Cruel Intentions series; follows Lacrimosa and is the first book. What lengths would you go for a friend? Manny and Diego find out the measures devotion costs as outside forces conspire to tear the herd and their friendship apart.
T for violence & thematic elements, lots of whump, hurt/comfort, and angst. Emphasis on Mango bromance/friendship and Diego & Peaches uncle/niece relationship are the focus as Roshan's return causes havoc for the herd and the Bredelands. Canon-divergent AU as of the latter Ice Age sequels of IA4/5, i.e. throwing back to IA1's tone/themes/atmosphere as much as possible, in this series; technically begins post-IA3.

Summary
The last part of the my "Five and One" Manny and Diego friendship development series. This vignette is much too long for the other stories, plus it ties in more to my Cruel Intentions: Lacrimosa novel (which can be found both here and on ff.net) hence why this is being posted as more of a standalone type of fic - though it connects to Lacrimosa and CI as a whole, so it's not exactly "standalone" per se since this fic has a Chekhov's Gunman featured and foreshadowing for CI as a whole!
This fic is an 8k microcosm of a friendship that's gonna be explored quite in depth in CI (and somewhat in Lacrimosa) and the tests and challenges it faces. Thus, Mango, naturally. ;) :)
be warned tho that this fic is a bit graphic and more intense than the other vignettes in this series but I hope you enjoy it! Credit also goes to AP-Lobo on DA for making a fanart for me of this story, which I've linked inside it to credit her/give her honour for it.

Summary
Prequel to IA1 and my upcoming story Cruel Intentions. In a harsh world filled with danger and excitement, three young lives will collide... follow Manny, Diego, and Sid as they grow up from age seven into teenagers and into the course of the first film as adults. T for violence, language, & implications of a sexual nature. Canon-divergent AU as of IA4/5, i.e. throwing back to IA1's tone/themes/atmosphere as much as possible, in this series.
Pre-canon, Canon-compliant (for the most part). Contains Diego/OC, Sid/OC, and Manny/OC Mellie. Can be read fandom-blind.
Cross-post from fanfiction.net. (Chapter 24 is here and available at ao3 and ff.net! :D Here is, at last, the conclusion of Lacrimosa and the hook for CI bk 1!)

Summary
"We're all stories in the end," the Eleventh Doctor says. Here is how Manny, Diego, and Sid, and the baby, Roshan, became one of those stories in the end, a legend. Outsider PoV fic, and a fic in my CI-verse, meant as a complementary one-shot to L22. This fic features Theo, a mammoth cow OC of mine from Lacrimosa, and fleshes out her son, Damien. Both will figure prominently in my next longfic in my CI series after Lacrimosa as major characters in CI bk 1 and those following. Diego/OC, from the OC's point of view. Dangles plot threads for CI bk 1 with Roshan's pov at the end.
Can also be read w/o prior knowledge of my CI-verse - despite being fourth in my series listing on ao3 - since this fic is essentially a retelling of IA1 as a legend to a character's child. In short, this fic can be read fandom-blind in terms of Ice Age and also my CI-verse, especially since it takes place from an Outsider PoV.
