#Casperan-Lake Au

[sopafa]

Camelot, the center of this story, is ruled by Jim Lake Jr., trollhunter and leader of both the magic and human realm. The round table, is full with knights and ladies, from all the distant lands, willing to defend the magic and fight for what is right. The queen of these lands, is Claire of the Lake, a shadowmancer. A witch. Who is able to not only control shadows, but fill Jim’s heart with pure love.

Aja Tarron, monarch of the land of Akiridion, who, despite being part of the round table, lives in her own kingdom, as opposed to her consort (the knight Palchuck) and her brother Krel (who serves as Ambassador to the lands of Camelot).

From other kingdoms, and distant lands, we have other rulers and monarchies, who have signed the peace treaty of the lands of Camelot, and follow the traditions of caring for, protecting and preserving magic, as well as magical creatures and beasts.

Rosas, an island kingdom with milk teeth, created by the King Magnífico, as a sanctuary for those who want to escape war, and leave in piece. Witches and wizards are often seen in the kingdom of Rosas, after all, it was the first kingdom to be formed with a monarch capable of manipulating magic.

Arendelle, The mountain kingdom, known for its proximity to fjords and ice magic. The world knows well the story of the so-called snow queen, and how the firstborn of the royal house of Arendelle was blessed with the kiss of ice magic, to protect her people, and prove herself worthy of the throne.

And of course, the kingdoms of the champions.

From cities, to islands. The legend says that the purest hearts come from anywhere and anywho.

No matter gold, or silver stone, what is really important is the soul.

Berk, The center of the archipelago, the land of Vikings and fierce dragons, where beasts and men live together as one. Be careful with teeth, fire and weapons, who knows, they say that the least dangerous thing in those lands are dragons. Not for nothing, Berk has no enemies.

Dumbroge, legend has it, that the oldest souls and magic itself, comes from these lands. That the richness of its power is so high that if you stand still, you can see magic itself take shape. Unfortunately, past prejudice and persecution of magical creatures in times past caused a mass migration, leaving witches and entities in short supply in this area.

Corona, the land of the sun, an island in the middle of the Mediterranean, which is said to be rich in trade, art, minerals, and above all, raw materials for magic spells. Some say that its power comes from the sun itself. Others are just lucky. The truth is that nobody knows.

school is killing me this is all I got

[thosetrollkids]

and not the fun kind of souvenir!

little taste of some sphinx douxie lore as im working on character info more here and there for the monster kids au...

[yellowmagicalgirl]

This AU was made in April 2023, and is inspired by @emwritesfanfics' Heirs to the Arcana, but with a twist: Krel didn't get Skrael's powers. Aja did.

This doesn't really change anything. The world still ends. Aja tries to protect everyone with her new ice powers and fails.

Krel had been denying his feelings for months. He was standing next to Douxie when Aja was killed. Krel realized that he had lost the person he loved most, and the person he loved second-most would die without ever knowing about Krel's feelings. And so in one last desperate action, Krel kissed Douxie.

Jim wakes up with fire powers and the excalibur amulet. (Whether or not he gets the daylight amulet depends on if I were to use my no-time-travel version of Wizards or not. If I used canon Wizards, it'd be Jim to prevent an unstable loop involving troll!Jim. If I didn't, then Toby or Claire would become the trollhunter so we'd have one more person w/memories, this time regaining their memories the first time they transform in the armor.)

Aja wakes up with ice powers and immediately rushes over to check on her brother. (Also, she and Steve did not have kids. At most, she had been researching if they could ever have kids and if not then how to preserve House Tarron.)

Douxie wakes up with plant powers and the taste of Krel's lips on his own.

Krel's like "sure, this might as well happen" about Aja having ice powers and being from the future. Everyone's always said that Aja was extraordinary, and he was normal. At least she's more mature. Aja's sad that Krel doesn't remember.

The coup still happens, despite Aja's best efforts, and they end up on Earth (maybe even earlier bc Aja's attempts to fix things went badly). Douxie decides not to say anything about the kiss to Krel or Aja, though he had confided in Jim late one night.

They grab Gaylen's core earlier and move it elsewhere for safe keeping. Krel becomes obsessed with it

And then he merges with it

And he remembers everything

Once all the other craziness of "Krel wtf why did you merge w/Gaylen's core and why do you have wings" dies down, Krel has a quiet conversation with Douxie

Krel: I'm sorry I kissed you. Douxie, internally: Yep, it's just what I thought! He panicked at the end of the world and doesn't have feelings for me! This is part of why I never brought it up and now he's bringing it up! Krel: I didn't want to die without telling you, but now that I have context I know I must've made you deeply uncomfortable. I hope you can one day forgive me. Douxie: Uh actually do you wanna kiss me again? Please?

Also, post-Gaylenifcation Krel is more physically affectionate and less grumpy, which isn't actually that much of a change but seeing the rapid change weirds everyone out

Tales of Arcadia Hallmark au

Idea came from a conversation between me and @trololololololooz , based on our shared love of Hallmark movies, TOA, and gay stuff.

Spoiler alert, Jeves and Clairy sweetness ahead.

Ao3

Steve is a big time baseball star and Mary is his girlfriend and a big time corporate lawyer. (Neither one of them is super invested in their relationship, because gay, but it's pushed on them by Steve's manager and Mary's boss, as it generates good publicity for both of them). Steve suffers a big injury, his doctor tells him it could be the end of his sports career. Steve's manager blows the doctor off, telling Steve to rest over Christmas and he can get back on the field in January. Steve gets a call from his childhood BFF Darci, who tells him that she just published a book and the release event is going to be held in their hometown of Arcadia, and she encourages him to come. Steve decides to go visit Arcadia for Christmas while resting his injury. Mary accompanies him, under instructions from her firm to scout the town for a corporate takeover.

Mary and Steve arrive in Arcadia only to have their car immediately break down. They go to the local mechanic, only for Steve to be utterly shocked that their mechanic is Jim, Steve's high school friend and secret crush. Both of them are flustered and awkward, Steve says he's only in town to visit family for the holiday/see Darci's book signing and Jim agrees to fix Steve's car. Steve overhears a phone call between Jim and Claire and thinks the two are dating and becomes sad. In reality Jim and Claire did date a bit after high school but mutually broke it off and are just friends now.

Meanwhile outside the mechanic shop Claire and Mary run into each other. Claire, a local councilwoman, recognizes Mary as the corporate takeover lawyer and confronts her. Cue wlw hostility.

Car now fixed Steve and Mary continue on their way to his siblings' house. They arrive and are greeted by Douxie, Steve's adopted older brother, who guides them inside. Douxie lives with his and Steve's younger siblings, twins Aja and Krel, and Aja's girlfriend Shannon. Douxie is a waiter/a musician on the side, Krel is a software engineer, Shannon is a liveblogger, and Aja does something completely off the wall like lumberjack/reindeer herder/bear wrestler. Steve is delighted by the reunion with his siblings and easily falls back in with them. He and Mary also let them know that their relationship is purely for business purposes and they aren't romantically interested in each other at all. At dinner Steve inquires about where their parents are, the others are all made uncomfortable by this and tell Steve they still live in town but Steve doesn't have to see them. Steve brushes off their concerns but Mary is intrigued.

The next morning they all go to the book store for Darci's book release. Steve gets there early and he and Darci have a heartfelt reunion. The book signing commences to and Steve's surprise they run into Jim and Claire at the book store. Cue blushing and awkwardness from Steve and Jim, and tooth grinding barely concealed hostility from Mary and Claire.

Shannon sees how obvious Jim and Steve are being and tells Douxie, Aja, and Krel they need to get the two of them together so they'll stop being blushing awkward messes. Delighted at the idea of hijinks they all agree.

Douxie slides in and tells Steve that while Jim is the town mechanic he also bakes on the side and does a lot of the baking for the town Christmas festival and is heavily involved with running it, and that he'd be a great person to show Steve around the town. Steve and Jim both blush and flounder saying they're going to be busy helping Mary and Claire with their respective tasks. Aja chimes in saying Mary and Claire can come along and the four of them can spend time together, shy agreement from Jim and Steve and forced grins from Mary and Claire.

Cut to them doing various holiday activities, Steve and Jim have shy sweet chemistry while Mary and Claire have barely concealed hostility. This ends with Steve's injury being aggravated. Jim, Mary, and Claire push Steve to go see a doctor, which stresses Steve greatly until Jim tells him that the old town doctor died when he slipped on a patch of ice and Barbara is the new doctor.

At the doctor's office Jim and Steve go into the exam room while Mary and Claire hang out in the waiting room. Barbara looks over Steve's injury and says he's fine for now but to take it easy and not do anything strenuous, and that he should definitely make an appointment with a physical therapist. Jim and Steve share an "I'm glad you're ok" moment, which Barbara observes.

Meanwhile in the waiting room the computer system goes down and everyone starts panicking, Mary steps in and begins organizing things, quickly bringing the chaos into order. Claire reluctantly respects her for this.

Barbara later meets with Douxie, Aja, Krel, and Shannon, once she realizes that Steve and Mary's relationship is purely for show she becomes fully onboard with their antics to bring Jim and Steve together. Shannon has a quick moment of realization "Wait are we in a Hallmark movie?"

The next day Jim and Steve spend time with Toby and Darci at their D&D session, Claire declined because she's busy and Mary because she's tired. Toby privately tells Jim his feelings for Steve are obvious and Jim should go ahead and ask him out, Jim says he can't because Steve built up a new life as a big baseball star that Jim has no place in. Darci does the same with Steve but Steve says that Jim is with Claire and Steve can't disrupt their happiness.

That night Mary is frustrated at her bosses hounding her and decides to go out to a local bar to hopefully unwind. Douxie's band takes the stage and to her utter shock Claire is with them as a bassist/vocalist rocking out to punk music. Moment of gay panic from Mary. Off stage she tells Claire she really enjoyed her performance, a flustered Claire says that punk music is just something she uses to unwind from her job as a councilwoman.

The next day they do more holiday activities with the four of them, with Claire and Mary earnestly enjoying each other's company this time. At the end of the day Barbara, Douxie, Aja, Krel, and Shannon arrange for Steve and Jim to have a quiet moment alone (Shannon remains the only one self aware of their Hallmark movie shenanigens). Jim reveals that he and Claire broke up and are purely friends now, a stunned Steve reveals that him and Mary's relationship is purely for publicity. Sharing a moment of stunned elation the two of them agree to try a relationship.

The next day Jim and Steve go meet up with Steve's old baseball team, including Eli, Logan, and Seamus who still play baseball in their free time. They are all are excited to see Steve as he's the only one who "made" it. Steve shyly says after his injury he's considering giving up sports and picking up something less hard on his body. Steve has a great time catching up with them until he's ambushed by his parents. They pull him aside and berate him for potentially giving up sports, calling him weak for not wanting to play with his injury, and make homophobic comments about him and Jim. Meanwhile after hearing the other team members talk Jim starts to feel guilty about pulling Steve away from his glamorous sports star life.

That night Jim breaks up with Steve, claiming it's because their lives are just too different. Steve is heartbroken, and under pressure from his parents and his manager, believes baseball is the only thing he'll ever be good for and makes plans to go back to the big city and back to playing.

Meanwhile Claire overhears snippets of a conversation Mary has on the phone and thinks that Mary's giving her firm the go ahead to take over the town. Claire angrily tells Mary off. A crushed Mary makes plans to go back to the city with Steve, both of them planning on continuing their sham relationship.

Steve tells Eli, Logan, and Seamus goodbye, saying he's split up with Jim and is heading back to the big city to start back up with baseball practice. They're worried about Steve both breaking up with Jim and jumping back in to baseball instead of resting his injury. They go check with Barbara, who is very concerned by Steve's plan to return to baseball, as she knows that's the last thing his injury needs.

All of them meet up with Douxie, Douxie confesses that their parents always pushed Steve too hard to succeed in baseball, and that they got the old town doctor to sweep his injuries under the rug so they could push him further and further. Douxie always wanted to intervene, but because he was a foster kid, their parents threatened to send Douxie away if he made too much of a fuss. They all decide that they can't let Steve and Jim part like this, so they wrangle everyone in town to help Steve and Jim get back together (at this point Shannon is resigned "fuck it if we're in a Hallmark movie we might as well go all the way").

Through hijinks Barbara, all of Steve's siblings, and the baseball team get Steve and Mary to attend the town's Christmas tree lighting festival. Toby and Darci find Jim and Claire drowning their sorrows in eggnog at the local bar. Jim bemoans that he can't get in the way of Steve's dream life and at least this way he can protect Steve's feelings. Toby shuts him down hard, saying that he's not protecting Steve, he's taking the decision away from him, and that Steve deserves to make his own choices and Jim owes him his honest feelings. Claire grumbles about being decieved by Mary, Darci curtly points out that what Claire heard was a small segment of a conversation with absolutely no context, Mary could have been talking about a lot of things, and at the very least Claire should ask Mary for an explanation. Jim and Claire concede and agree to meet up with Steve and Mary.

At the tree lighting Jim reunites with Steve and confesses everything, he says he loves Steve and wants to be with him, but doesn't want to get in the way of Steve doing the sport he loves. He says he'll support Steve at whatever Steve wants, as long as it makes Steve happy. Jim's sincerity has Steve breaking down, he confesses he's been grinding so much at baseball he hasn't enjoyed it for a long time, and his injury gives him chronic pain and he wants to quit but has been doing baseball for so long he doesn't know what else to do. Jim assures him he can spend as much time as he needs to figuring it out.

Meanwhile Claire apologizes to Mary for blowing up at her and asks about the phone call. Mary confesses that she is planning a corporate takeover...of her own company, using blackmail and embezzlement to oust her bosses and put herself on top. She says she loved spending time with Claire, but she also loves being a corporate lawyer, and she could never ask Claire to leave the town she loves. Claire confesses that while she does love her town she doesn't want to be a councilwoman for the rest of her life, and that she, Douxie, and the rest of the band have been talking for months about going to the city to try and make it big.

Both couples happily agree to try new lives together. Jim and Steve in Arcadia, and Mary and Claire in the big city.

Steve's parents storm in and start berating Steve again for quitting baseball just when he's "made it". Jim steps in and absolutely tears into them, saying they never truly cared about what was best for Steve and pushed him to the point of injury. Douxie, Aja, Krel, Mary, Claire, Logan, Seamus, Eli, and the other baseball team members all join in on blasting Steve's parents. Embarrassed, Steve's parents slink away.

The Christmas tree lighting commences, Jim and Steve share a kiss, as well as Mary and Claire. Shannon rolls her eyes "Of course they kiss now, we are in a Hallmark movie after all," Aja slides up to her "So does this mean you don't want to kiss me?" Shannon smirks "Oh I didn't say that".

While the couples are all kissing Krel, Darci, and Toby roll their eyes and share a moment of aromantic solidarity as the only three people in town capable of being normal about this stuff. Darci remarks that she doesn't see the Palchuk parents anywhere. Krel tells her that Douxie mentioned their parents were arrested for child abuse and taken away. Toby comments that it's weird for them to be arrested after all this time has passed but none of them really dwell on it.

Cut to the Palchuk parents' being taken away by Krampus (Strickler) while Barbara and Douxie watch. Through conversation it's revealed that Krampus (Strickler) is Barbara's friend with benefits. After he departs with the Palchuk parents, Douxie asks if Barbara cares to explain how she and Krampus (Strickler) became fwb, Barbara says no she does not.

One year later, Steve has quit baseball and lives in Arcadia with Jim. He fosters animals for the local shelter and works part time as a substitute teacher, as well as various other side jobs around town. Steve still doesn't know what he wants to spend the rest of his life doing, but he's having fun trying out the different options while being loved and supported by Jim and his friends and family. He's started physical therapy and stopped playing baseball completely, but enjoys cheering Eli, Logan, and Seamus on at their games.

Mary, Claire, and Douxie arrive in town to visit for Christmas. Mary gushes about how much she enjoys running her own firm, while Douxie and Claire gleefully share how their band is taking off.

Big Christmas party with all the characters happens, Steve and Jim share a kiss under the mistletoe.

Cue end credits over Christmas music.

[albentelisa]

Hi! Here's another AU idea with Claire. What if she was actually Douxie's little sister, but still meets Jim and Toby in the 21st century somehow?

So, Claire and Douxie are runaway siblings, surviving on the streets of Camelot. When Merlin takes Douxie as his apprentice, Claire moves into the castle as well. Previously, neither of them realized that Claire has magical talent as well, but during her stay in the castle, she demonstrates her apptitude for the shadow magic. Merlin isn't that happy, but he's willing to tolerate Claire for now as she is still young and Merlin thinks he can control her.

However, at some point, Claire gets into an accident inside Merlin's study, ending in a time stasis crystal. Merlin tells Douxie he can't do a thing to dispell that one (which is a lie as he simply decides not to bother). As for Douxie, freeing his sister becomes one of his driving forces. He doesn't succeed until nine centuries later, which is about two years before Jim finds the amulet.

Ophelia and Javier are Douxie's acquaintances in this universe - they got in a magic-related trouble some years ago, and Douxie saved them. They even proposed Douxie to live with them, but he refused as he cherished his own lifestyle more. However, Douxie feels that Claire (who is a fish out of water in the modern times) needs some proper household and education, so Ophelia and Javier take her in.

Claire is homeschooled initially, trying to catch up to everything and as she is a quick learner, eventually she expresses a wish to attend a regular school. She quickly befriends Mary (who finds Claire rather quirky) and Darci (who thinks that Claire is struggles to be herself because of pressure).

When Jim finds the amulet, Claire starts to suspect that he has gotten into some magic-related accident. After all, despite being Douxie's sister, she has no idea about the amulet - it was created after her time stasis accident and Douxie never mentioned it to her. So Claire thinks that Jim stumbled upon some dangerous artifact and decides to save him. She barges in right after Blinky and Aaarrrgghh corner Jim in his basement and misunderstands everything trying to attack Aaarrrgghh with her magic. Luckily, Blinky manages to resolve the misunderstanding fast enough.

So, Claire becomes a part of Jim's team really fast here. She doesn't tell her brother though as she is afraid Douxie might try to keep her away from the adventure (as he is overprotective because of her accident with magic). Claire, however, tries to find some information in her brother's book all the time.

Jim is the first person she entrusts her secret of being born in a different era even though she is slightly afraid he might be repulsed by that. He dispells her fears at once.

As there are no misunderstanding between two of them, Claire and Jim develop romantic relationship rather fast. They go together to Papa Skull concert. However, it is the day when Enrique is kidnapped and Claire blames herself a lot for not being able to save her adoptive family son. She decides to put romance on hold for a while.

Claire's shadow magic develops a lot because of her negative emotions and Douxie notices that something is off with her. After a serious talk, Claire confesses everything to her brother and Douxie joins the team as well. However, he finally realizes that his overprotectiveness brings harm and lets Claire decide for herself.

Claire still gets the shadow staff, and Douxie lets her use it after some consideration (as he feels his sister still has enough positivity to balance her negative feelings). He also starts to teach her properly.

Morgana starts possessing Claire way earlier, back before Jim goes to the Darklands. Morgana is more careful though, never revealing her actions, but the team Trollhunters can't help but notice some oddities. Sometimes, it is as if their plans are leaked. No one suspects Claire though, chalking it to coincidences.

Morgana, after watching Jim for some time, decides to lure him to her side. She occasionally takes control over Claire during her time with Jim, bringing up how unfair it is that trolls are oppressed. Jim, unaware of the possession, shares his vision of eventually revealing trolls existence to the world as he believes that humanity will eventually accept good trolls.

Morgana finds Jim extremely naive and hopes he will change his views after seeing how cruel humanity can be. After Jim returns from the Darklands and Gunmar takes over the Trollmarket, and only a fraction of good trolls escape, she orchestrates the situation when Arcadia locals learn about the trolls existence. She also uses her changelings to feed the paranoia and there are hostile Gumm-Gumms roaming around, so locals starts to suspect each other of being shapeshifters and try to hunt trolls (obviously, those who are weaker are ones to suffer the most). Jim and his team are forced to hide in the forest together with the troll refugees.

Claire starts to suspect that something is wrong with her as Jim mentions some of conversations they had but she doesn't remember. Initially, she just thinks that there maybe a polymorph posing as her, but as she investigates more, she realizes that someone takes control over her body. Claire travels inside her mind in secret, and is nearly defeated by Morgana, but Jim and Douxie come to her assistance in the last second, giving her positive anchors she needed to win.

Douxie decides to wake up Merlin as no one knows how to deal with the whole mess. Sure thing, in this AU he is less confident in his master's skills (because of Claire's situation), but it seems there is no other choice. Merlin is typical Merlin (and he isn't happy to learn that Claire is free in addition to Morgana).

After some thinking, Merlin decides to use Claire to seal Morgana for good. He appeals to her sense of guilt as Morgana used her as a vessel to act through and start the mess. Claire agrees to his plan, not knowing that NotEnrique has overheard the entire conversation and told it to the rest of the team.

Meanwhile, as the battle against Gunmar is approaching, some residents of Arcadia who believe that trolls can be good and bad (like Barbara, Javier, Ophelia, Steve, Eli, Mary, Darci and some teachers) manage to convince locals to be more open-minded. So, there is Arcadia's united human plus trolls forces versus Gunmar's army. Douxie gives Jim's amulet some tinkering, temporarily strengthening it.

Jim encounters Claire about Merlin's plan, telling her that there should be the different way and that they both has gone against expectations countless times. With that encouragement, Claire thinks out of her own sealing spell to seal Morgana.

Both fights are won, though Jim's amulet is barely functioning right now because of the overload and Claire's magic overuse leads to her staying powerless for a while.

[honeyxmonkey]

this is very inspired by @pinkytoothlesso11 recent ask about Jim and Douxie being related by blood

Douxie knew who his brother was. He’d known for quite a long time. That’s why he’d moved to Arcadia, sixteen years ago. At first, it was to try and track down his father, but when he saw that baby boy… revenge was no longer on his mind. Much to Archie’s relief, probably. 

So, Douxie had spent years watching on the sidelines as his brother grew up. He’d nearly raged when Nicolae Casperan, (currently going by James Lake), walked out on Barbara and a five year old Jim. But he’d managed to keep his cool, even offering babysitting services to his baby brother’s mother when she went back to school for her medical degree. He’d been delighted to finally spend time with his tiny little brother, getting to know the little stinker. Douxie knew he loved his brother, but the moment he got to meet him? It solidified how much Hisirdoux Casperan loved James Lake Jr., his little brother.

But as years passed, Douxie had to slip away again, unknown to his younger sibling because staying much longer would be suspicious to the boy’s mother. And Douxie would never age.

He hoped that one day, he’d be able to introduce himself to Jim properly. Maybe even reveal their shared blood. But for now, all he could was watch, and wait. Watch, and wait. He’d gotten good at that over the years. The many, many years he’d been alive.

But one day, as Douxie was walking to work, when a voice he knew well whispered a name in his ear. Merlin’s voice, whispering a name that made Douxie’s blood run cold.

“James Lake Jr.”

His baby brother had been chosen.

Douxie’s baby brother was the Trollhunter.

[prismarts]

I have mashed my two hyperfixations together into an au-

Will I make more? Who knows maybe-

anyways Frieren au :3

I aDORE FRIEREN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Jim cooks some dinner when his mom unexpectedly comes home, plus two trolls just had to come by for a visit afterwards.

[sopafa]

More of this AU, and lore.

The king of Camelot, is no other but Jim Lake Jr, sucesor of Arthur, who never had child of his own, but took under his wing this little child, who grew to be a knight, Arthur saw the pureness in his heart and once the king passed away, Jim took the crown. As king, he reunited the magic creatures and the humans balance, the magic prospered on his land, and both trolls and humans got to live as equals.

The legend says that the king of Camelot is advised by a kid, who never grows old. Some people call him a demon. Others call him a child. But only the knights, the rulers and the members of the round table, know well that that “child” is nothing but Hisirdoux Casperan, sucesor of Merlin, Master Wizard, and protector of magic of the realm. He may look young, he may never grow, but his soul is old. Older than many kingdoms.

So, beware of underestimate him, just for his appearance.

He might be the missing link, to find the champions of Arcadia

The Knights of New Avalon as students in The Owl House!

Close ups and explanations under the cut.

Steve is a witch and potions student at Hexside though he used to be in construction. His dad works at Glandus but Coach is the construction teacher at Hexside. He also plays Grudgby.

Krel is a human and is Multi-Tracking Bard and Illusion at Hexside. All the Akoridians are in the illusion track and use glamour stones to hide their ears in public.

Aja is a human and is in abomination and illusion at Hexside. She also plays Grudgby.

Toby is half human and is multi-tracking beast keeping and illusion at Hexside. He was born on the BI but still has some human features that he sometimes hides with a glamour stone. He likes to help his Papa with the animals.

Claire is a witch and multi-tracking bard and healing at Hexside. I had her do healing because, in Changling Families Adventures, she became the team’s field doctor when Barbara isn’t present or available.

Darci is a witch and Multi-Tracking healing and plant at Hexside. I headcanon that Darci grew up to be a social worker and therapist and thought plants and gardening would go well with that.

Seamus is a half-wolf demon and is in beast keeping at Hexside. His bio dad was a witch but his mother was a wolf demon. He now lives with his dads, sister, and uncle who are all ogre demons.

Mary is a witch in the abomination track at Hexside. Abomination is the closest there is to water and she could give Amity a run for her money. I probably should have made her blue streaks abomination…

Eli is a winged witch demon and multi-tracks bard and plant magic just like his mother would have had she the opportunity. He likes to make plants grow with bard magic. Mary and Toby are his siblings and Krel is his boyfriend.

Jim is a half demon and is in potions and abominations a Hexside. I combined his human and troll forms from Changling Families. I figured that these tracks would work for him on his way to take on Vendal's job as a school leader.

And, finally, there is Douxie. He's just a witch and a bard at St. Epiderm since it's said to be the private school in the show.

old man returns only to get insulted

[thosetrollkids]

this came to me in a vision

[yellowmagicalgirl]

Back in October 2021 I dreamt that I was watching RotT except the Steve subplot wasn't there. Also, Bellroc realized that 1) Krel was the one who made the time trap, not Douxie and 2) the significance of the antimagic cannon thing. Douxie took a hit for Krel, said a cheesy line about wanting another time trap so he could spend eternity with Krel, and then died during their first kiss. Toby still died (somehow), and Jim still reset the timeline but Douxie wasn't there to put his arm around Krel. Afterwards, the trollhunter!Toby timeline was shown as Toby getting the amulet, Jim freaking out and feeling guilty that Toby got burdened w/the role of the trollhunter, and then Jim accidentally unlocked Toby's memories. Afterwards it became a montage of unlocking various characters memories, and for the memories of the Tarrons+Varvatos, Douxie+the trollhunting trio were hanging out @ the record store, with Jim unlocking the Akiridions' memories b4 they could shoplift. Upon getting his memories back, the first thing Krel did was run to Douxie and start sobbing into his chest.

[rosemaidenvixen]

So who do you think should get Excalibur in the Sunshine Au? Cause I’ve seen opinions that the “worthiest” would be Jim, Steve, Douxie, Krel to Nari of all people.

I've already decided who's going to get Excalibur, but it won't be any of the characters you mentioned.

Jim's role is solidly set as the Trollhunter, keeping balance between the worlds of humans and trolls.

Steve's arc will be learning about how to be a true hero, and his weapon will be the axe he gets from his first true battle, Toothache.

Douxie will gain the confidence to take his place as a master Wizard, with a staff of his own.

Krel will realize he can help his friends and Akiridion-5 in his own way. He doesn't need to be a warrior like his sister or a monarch like his parents. Being his DJing tech wiz self is more than enough.

Nari is essentially a deity, who for the first time experiences what it's like to be treated, not like an object of worship or reverence, but as a friend.

The person who gets Excalibur will be someone that shares some of the same wounds and misgivings about magic as Arthur. But instead of his arrogance they will have enough humility to truly be trusted with the god-killing blade.

[albentelisa]

Hi there! Here's a what if ask!

What do you think would happen if Jim had a job at GDT Arcane Books like Douxie when he was chosen as the Trollhunter?

Jim is sixteen, and is already aware of the supernatural.

I'd say, Jim's job is the reason why he knows about the supernatural. Why does he have it though? He wanted a part-time job to help Barbara, but Barbara was against her son sacrificing his free time. GDT Arcane Books is the only place that accepted Jim without permission from the parents. So, it's Jim's secret part-time job. How does he know about the supernatural? Well, Jim followed his co-worker and friend Douxie one day and accidentally saw Archie talking. Douxie had no other choice, but to tell Jim everything.

So, Jim knows that there's more to this world than just an everyday routine, but he's not content with just knowledge, he wants to explore more, much to Douxie's chagrin. To prevent Jim from following him during every monster hunt, Douxie decides to compromise and takes Jim (and later Toby) with him during more 'safe' outings. It leaves Jim with a certain knowledge, so when he finds the amulet he can identify the troll's remains and that the amulet is a magic object. Both Jim and Toby plan to show it to Douxie during Jim's next shift at GDT Arcane Books, but Blinky and Aaarrrgghh arrive before that.

Obviously, there's way less screaming during the first meeting with trolls, and Jim is simply cautious. However, Blinky and Aaarrrgghh are also way more suspicious of Jim as when they watched Jim they heard Jim and Toby discussing the amulet and 'Douxie'. So Blinky bonks Jim with a gaggletack instead of a greeting. The misunderstanding is solved when Jim explains everything.

Another big change is that Jim doesn't come to Strickler to discuss his visitors and Strickler has no chance to see the amulet in Jim's bag, so the bad guys have no idea who is the new Trollhunter for a while.

And of course, the biggest one is that Douxie is involved from the very beginning (even if he isn't sure if Merlin would approve of that). Douxie also starts teaching Claire magic when she eventually becomes part of the team.
