A possible story idea that hit me at 4am this morning. I’m going to post this here and a few other places to see if people want to do something with it.
Average kid (gender not set) who looks and acts like a second banana or supporting character is going through life when suddenly a large person dressed like a fantasy character bursts in. The person greets them loudly and happily with an embrace. Big person then pulls out an object, speaks into it and the pair are whisked away to the other world.
Mc is either the hero who failed or love interest of hero and still powerful and got returned to their homeland.
