#<- hey why not. why not. what's up winx fans stumbling upon this. go play rain code NOW

[seth-burroughs]

Rain Code x Winx Club swap au. I can make anything

Winx Club side

I think their genders should stay the same? Fairy and witch are gender neutral.. Alfea and Cloudy Tower are no longer all-girl high schools. By my word

Yuma is Bloom/the fairy of the dragon flame, and Shinigami is Daphne/that ghost nymph that's his dead sister, it just made the most sense, and they have the same place in the MDARC universe below too anyway. Shini would be much more involved I think. Not just give him cryptic dreams but flat out follow him around everywhere and just tell him stuff.

Backstory stays the same I think? Yuma is a prince of Domino (also he has god powers. from god, made of god) and as an infant his home planet gets fucking obliterated by the Ancestresses so Shinigami yoinks him to Earth where they can't find him. Then he gets adopted and also he's 16.

"yeah so anyway many years ago in ancient history your home planet was destroyed and everyone died so I teleported you to Wyoming" "the fuck you mean ancient history I'm only like 16 how was I an infant when it happened??" "Anyway,"

After some kind of ruckus he meets a fairy (specific guy pending) then awakens his god fire dragon powers then finds out he's a fairy and then tries to lie his way into the fairy school and then joins it for real uhhh hell yeah I fucking rock at summarizing

Anyway. The winx. The six of them. We know Yuma is Bloom/the dragon flame fairy. Onto the next 5, which are the NDA since it makes most sense (peacekeepers can be the witches. whatever):

Fubuki is Stella aka fairy of the sun & moon. Kind of because of the whole "princess" thing (although, like, three of the winx are princesses anyway so it's not really that special for them), but also I think she just really fits. I think it'd be cute for Yuma and Fubuki to be the closest pair of friends there... And also because Stella's got that teleportation scepter, and planet travel is kind of similiar to time travel anyway.

Yakou is Flora aka fairy of nature. I think he should be a bit older than the others but just kept being held back a few classes (he's doing fine at school it's just. the horrors keep getting to him every time the exams roll up......). I picked him as Flora for only one reason. One reason

Desuhiko is Musa aka fairy of music because haha music. Musa I'm so sorry but he had to be someone.

Halara is Tecna aka fairy of technology because they both don't really show emotions that much and are pretty smart. So yeah. Also no Tecna slander allowed

(and while Aisha aka the princess of Andros + fairy of morphix & water(?) doesn't appear until s2, Vivia takes her place. It even makes some sense if you squint. Maybe the pixies are more ghost-like in this?)

Overall I'm actually kinda surprised how many of them fit so well lmao??? Effervescent au.

(do their transformations stay the same or should I alter them more than a bit...)

Onto the schools... Alfea's - aka fairy school - principal/headmaster (is there a difference??) is fake old man Number One. Cloudy Tower's - aka witch school where everybody is an asshole - principal/headmaster is Dr. Huesca and he fucking hates everybody in that building.

Most detectives get assigned to Alfea, and most peacekeeper/Amaterasu corp characters get assigned to Cloudy Tower.

We got the club, now onto the witches attending Cloudy Tower.....

Starting with the Trix aka the 3-person coven (they're very close and call each others "sisters" but aren't biologically. well they are distant cousins but. yknow), which are the descendants of the Ancestral Witches (where do I even fucking start. Ancient, extremely fucked up and evil and powerful, ghosts, created an artificial evil sonboy out of a stray spark of the dragon flame they found in a ditch somewhere, destroyed the planet Domino, did I say they're really really evil and most sane and normal people do not try to seek them out to serve them unlike THESE transgender little idiots), want to serve them and get really powerful and rule the world and stuff and also hate fairies but that's a given for all witches and fairies kinda lmao. They also homoerotically bully Bloom

Aside from the atrocities and bigotry and general rancidity they are actually pretty wholesome you gotta trust me on this one please you gotta believe me

Yomi is Icy aka the witch of ice. This is because 1) Both fucking changed my life and me as a person without them there would be no me, now thank them. 2) leaders. 3) in the show, Icy's generally the meanest/most sadistic out of her sisters, and Yomi does like sitting on his girlfriend and whipping people and the cube incident and the yakover incident and the whole torturing people with handmade tools. 4) perfect balance between actually competent & pathetic 5) gay 6) trans men. Icy is a man. He just doesn't know it yet. I've been saying this

Martina is Darcy aka the witch of darkness & illusions & apparently mind control. Martina's much more on the verbal/psychological side of tormenting people rather than Yomi who just prefers the more physical torture type, so she can be tweaked a bit to start manipulating people as hobby. Like Darcy. Also they got glasses. And kind of similiar hair. And date a guy. Fuck Riven he deserved to get mind controlled

Guillaume is Stormy aka witch of storms because they're both really fucking hyper although Guillaume seems to be in a much better place than Stormy. Guillaume is always so cheerful while watching people die meanwhile Stormy sounds like she's permanently on the verge of a breakdown

Wait. Wait wait wait wait a minute. So Icy sometimes turns people into ice statues in the show..... Yomi can literally turn people into ice cubes........ Effervescent au 10/10

Anyway the plot in s1 is that the Trix steal Bloom'/Yuma's dragon flame (fire powers) and do world domination for 2 minutes before Yuma wills it back into him and punts them into the sun. The bridal carries Yomi down once he's unconscious and defeated yeah that scene was pretty gay

Onto Mirta and Lucy aka the girls who get bullied by the Trix that one season and are later nearly completely forgotten as the show goes on.....

Seth is Mirta. He's the same deeply unpleasant person like in Rain Code. He does not get bullied at school because he thinks fairies don't suck, he does, he gets bullied because he's a loser.

There was that one arc where Darcy aka Martina turned him into a pumpkin in s1 and Flora aka Yakou tends to him until they find a cure. Yes that is the whole reason as to why Yakou has to be Flora. Because of woke (furroughs)

Maybe he gets turned into a flower instead......

(and I also forgot to mention but Mirta/Seth ALSO leaves Cloudy Tower to become a fairy. maybe they're exes...... forced to awkwardly interact...... maybe they start dating again............)

Lucy I'm a bit lost on currently. She was Mirta's aka Seth's only friend in Cloudy Tower and also got shoved in lockers by the Trix. Unlike Mirta, she's still rude and hates fairies (though she's a bit cowardly and VERY insecure); but sticks around with her anyway, maybe because outcasts gravitate to each other. Often follows the wrong crowd out of wanting to prove to others she's amazing, and gave off the impression that deep down really wanted the Trix to let her suck up to them, but alas, they think she's cringe - ah wait, not an impression. That's just what her character was. Back in season 1 she was OBSESSED with the Trix. Alas they think she's cringe

That's literally so pathetic it's funny. It's fucking hilarious. That poor thing.

Anyway. Who the fuck is she. Fake Zilch because uhhhh gay for Yomi???? but he's not that pathetic he's actually pretty cool he wouldn't get bullied he'll fucking kill everybody in that school and burn their bodies. Or do I tweak his role so that he doesn't suck anymore....... much to think about..........

As for the other characters, from season 1-3 since they are pretty connected unlike all the others and also the fandom considers them to be the only canon seasons of the show sometimes with the inclusion of s4 but its on thin ice

I really wanted to include Makoto and thought it'd be fun if he were Valtor.

For those who don't know who Valtor is (which is probably most of you) -- he is a villain in season 3, and he was created by the Ancestresses using only a spark of the dragon flame, and taught him how to kill people, which both made him a very powerful being. He was involved in the destruction of Domino, and while briefly defeated and dematerialized(?), he came back many years later and fucking slayed. He has minions but still actually does a lot of things on his own (even literally just tasking the Trix with the less important tasks while he carries the whole mission), is a skilled manipulator, and shows reluctant interest in Bloom (the actual keeper of the rest of the dragon flame), saves her life on their first meeting and admires her from far, expresses that he needs/wants someone capable to share his power with and while she's a thorn at his side he still tries to persuade her into joining him just for the lulz. Also he marks people. With his mark. On their neck

Both have a connection to Bloom/Yuma & a certain place, are artificially made, vampire aesthetic haha get it, and Valtor worked with Trix as his goons, so here's how Mako-Yomi interactions can still happen. Valtor is a cool villain but Makoto's not really evil, so maybe he's actually trying to bring the planet of Domino back using Yuma's dragon flame (which maybe means killing him??) and then has to be gently reasoned with so that he'd stop destroying shit.

Might be relevant...... the mind Valtor(tm) from my personal canon, not the show's canon, is actually Domino. When the Ancestresses "destroyed" Domino -- which wasn't really true, since the planet did get brough back/restored later, along with all the people on it! hmm. -- they actually trapped it inside Valtor, and he himself was a corrupted amalgamation of all the people that lived there; killing him would be what truly destroys Domino, so the Winx had to find a different solution. I just thought that banged, and--

-- what if Makoto-Valtor didn't know. What if he was just Some Guy (or thought he was) with a connection to Domino and he really wanted to go against the Ancestresses to bring it back but then he found out that he literally is just Domino and as long as he's alive it will remain dead & if he gets killed it will get lost for good. Kanai Ward reveal the truth labirynth dilemma but on steroids this time. Anyway still a wip section we're still working on details man,

also their hair kinda similiar + Valtor deserves a giant forehead

I wanted to also include the Rain Code side of this (where the winx characters get thrown into Kanai Ward instead), but the post looks pretty long as it is anyway and it's pretty late & I'm a bit tired, so I'll consider this post done and come back for it later :>

Any thoughts.... any thoughts people? I'm actually really oddly passionate about this. Hell yeah we're so back. This is what happens when you mix both of my most life ruining interests together.
