Dollins au

(Which I used to think was cannon)

Story time:

Back in the early days of me getting into this podcast I stumbled across a lot of fanart for Malevolent, specifically Potato-lord and Izel

I was in the middle of season two and I had no idea who the season four characters were but I fell in love with Noel almost instantly.

And as everyone does when they are super normal about a fictional character they have yet to meet in cannon I read and re- read his wiki page a lot.

Now one of the things that the wiki fails to tell you is that the Butcher and Noel start working together within the timeframe of the podcast.

Instead it just says this:

I had seen and enjoyed a lot of Dollins stuff by this point and extrapolated from the art and the wiki that Noel and Collins had been working together for a decent amount of time.

It would probably be useful for The Butcher to have a man in the force if something were to happen to him or if he needed to get some evidence handily disappeared.

I also guessed that due to the dreamlands and training from the war Noel is dangerous enough on his own just in a less obvious way than The Butcher (I still believe this).

Essentially they were a serial killing power couple.

Thats it. Thats the au that was cannon to me for a very long time.
