Ghost King Phantom answers a summons to a new dimension to find a sacrificial offering in three magic circles. One, holding Bizarro, another holding Artimus and the one in front holding Red Hood.
Phantom has no idea who these people are, but he knows the people in charge must be powerful mages or whatever. Doesn't matter. None of the mages hes ever had to face had known about his Halfa status so naturally thier wards and protections wouldn't work on him. He captures the kid with a naselly voice and his orange cat in a force field to give to Jazz later. She had been talking about wanting to study the psychology of a supernatural being for a while now so he'd help her out.
He made quick work of the other mages before turning around and facing the "sacrifices" the two in the back were still out cold but the one in front, the one in the red helm was radiating terror and rage. He was shaking even though Phantom hadn't done anything to him and had no intentions to. Danny landed outside the circle, trying to whisper something conforting as he stepped closer.
The moment he stepped into the ring however, the red runes turned into a bright green and the three circles disappeared. Danny didn't feel any different so he assumed it was nothing and he freed the captives before disappearing, none the wiser that Klarion the Witchboy had made a few translation mistakes in the slave contract and accidentally married a terrified Red Hood to Phantom, the High King of the Undead and King of the Lazarus dimension, also known as the Infinite Realms.
Danny probably learns he married that guy at some point but just kinda shrugs it off. Polygamy is legal in the realms and thier marriage doesn't change much. Sure, Danny is practically contractually obligated to save this guy if he's ever in mortal peril but Danny has no problems with that. He'd do it anyway.
So he just ignores the situation hoping it doesn't come up again.
It does.
Repeatedly.
I'm so surprised we don't have more Dead on Main ghost king marriage aus where Jason/the pit inside of him is terrified of Phantom. Let's change that

Happy Ghouls and Gangs DPxDC Bang event posting week!! Here's what I've been working on for the @dpxdcbigbang 🥰
Summary:
It’s a normal day for Alfred Pennyworth. He spends it taking care of the manor and watching over its inhabitants, just as he does every other day. It’s an exhausting, never-ending task, that he wouldn’t change for the world. But that night, he is confronted by a stranger in his rooms with a copy of every single soul-binding contract he’s signed for the protection of his family. The new Ghost King wants to update his terms and conditions.
Alfred POV, Ghost King Danny, with some Post-Vivisection goodness and only a little (a lot) of blood and gore and medical fun, but that's for later. Not for the squeamish, please check the tags!!
Snippet under the cut!
It’s a normal day for Alfred Pennyworth.
He wakes up early enough to be ready to greet Master Duke with breakfast when he shambles into the kitchen, he cleans, he greets the rest of the manor’s residents when they finally make it downstairs, he cleans, he goes down to the cave to rouse Master Tim from another sleepless night, he cleans.
It’s a quiet day, or as much as one can be when the place he calls home is filled with vigilantes.
He drops off Masters Damian, Tim, and Duke at school and uses the rest of the trip to pick up some groceries for dinner. Coq au vin tonight, he thinks, it’ll be perfect for the changing of the seasons. A mushroom and lentil substitute for Master Damian will do lovely.
The rest of the day is spent preparing the meal and doing a spot of gardening before it’s time for the school run again. He can’t help but smile fondly as he listens to them needle and tease each other, only stepping in when it starts to become too pointed.
Yes, it’s a normal day for Alfred Pennyworth. It’s at night when it all changes.
There’s a ghost waiting for him in his room. 
A soft glow emanates from the creature’s vaguely transparent body and a crisp frost creeps slowly across the floor, sparkling in the darkness like diamonds.
“Mr. Pennyworth?” it says, the voice bouncing off the walls so that it sounds like hundreds of beings instead of one.
Fear squeezes at his heart and the air in the room turns dark and heavy, so that Alfred struggles to breathe. His mouth is dry, his head is swimming, and he’s not entirely sure if he’s going to survive the night.

Behold, Morro for season 4 in the Lego Monkie Kid au!!
Below the cut I’ve put some details about the season, as well as their design.
• So, Morro gets trapped in the scroll along with everyone else!! Inspired by what one of my friends on discord mentioned, apparently the scrolls work for all memories, not just for recording JTTW stuff.
• Therefore. We’re gonna get some Morro trauma. Since the scroll can put you in the worst memories you had/in some kind of past life, I thought, “what better than to hurl Morro back into his misdeeds as a ghost?”
- That’s why when Morro’s in the scroll, he’s gonna be walking around in his old gi from the show. I didn’t give him a cloak or anything for the sole reason of me having a hard time drawing it
• Boy oh boy Morro absolutely hates having to be dressed in the robes of his past. He’s been trying to move away from what he did, to forge his own identity and life. Yet now he gets put right back where he was, at the peak of his darkest times, and MK and Mei end up bearing witness to it, no less!
• Long story short Morro just. Is going to be miserable this whole season. Their past got dredged up in such a messy way for all to see.
• I don’t wanna give away too much since this post is mainly just for Morro’s season 4 design, hehe.
• You want more info?? Send in asks! I will devour them and answer back dutifully.
• Now onto design talk, tw for some blood stains and detailed description of death for a bit
Tumblr media
• The only details I’ll really say for Morro’s scroll design are that his outfit is fairly burnt and torn up in many places, due to how he died. Well, more so the condition his clothes were in when he passed away.
- The front of Morro’s gi is stained with dried blood because of how he died, which I personally believe to be due to the kethanol gas in the Caves of Despair. There’s more info about it on the wiki, but the effects I’ve given to it basically are that prolonged exposure will cause someone to bleed out, with blood coming from the nose and mouth and the eventual exsanguination is the cause of death. So yeah, you just. Drown in your own blood, can’t get enough actual air and asphyxiate, bleed out, etc. The gas can kill you in a number of ways I’d say
• Moving past all that…Morro gets longer ribbons now!! He added on a new ribbon, since he bonded with Red Son at the end of Season 3, and off-screen between the last season and this one, lol. Think of their friendship as…fanning the flames. They kinda just hype each other up and it’s very chaotic.
• Morro actually trains with Macaque to learn some shadow magic!! They’re super interested in learning teleportation via shadows because it’s cool as hell, and they just generally like to spend time with Macaque. After some time, Morro finds that his eye markings are getting kinda…larger and discolored.
- Surprise the universe/gods saw Macaque taking in Morro and went “oh successor??? The Six-Eared Macaque has a successor??” And long story short, after an initial bout of extreme panicking, Morro realizes that he’s now got some cooler new markings!!
- Yes, I’m contractually obligated to change Morro’s eye markings with each new design at this point, lay off me
- I’m very happy with this marking design tho!! It looks very nice and is easy for me to draw. The markings actually manifest themselves in the way of like…scar stuff. And I tried to have them resemble Morro’s actual cursed markings as much as I could, but it was hard to do that when it kept veering into flame territory (which I wasn’t aiming for). So yeah!
- I also added a little chart at the bottom to demonstrate the differences between the markings and also how Macaque’s and Morro’s purples are different. Mac’s is more on the blue hued scale, while Morro’s has more pink tones to it. There!
• And last but not least, the tail(s) of Morro’s sash got longer!! I did this for the purpose of giving their silhouette a more monkey-like appearance, with the longer sash acting as a sort of faux shadow tail. This works great for any silhouette shots!
• So yeah! That’s that! Feel free to ask anymore questions, I’ll be glad to answer!!!
• Oh also I forgot to draw it in but you know how everyone else gets a cool weapon during season 4 from the scroll? Yeah, Morro’s taking the memory of the Sword of Sanctuary with him.

Moulin Rouge Discotrain AU (part three)
Summary: (Post-game canon) The Conductor and DJ Grooves agree to finally work on a movie together. They come up with 'Moulin Rouge', a musical drama filled with romance. Over time the two directors grow closer and discover that maybe they don't hate each other as much.
Beginning | Previous | Next
Word count: 1,444
Warnings: Does Snatcher talking about being dead count?
Author's notes: Snatcher might be a little out of character but he's here with contracts so something went right. Hat Kid is here too!
Grooves looked up as Hat Kid knocked on the door, jumping slightly at the large shadowy figure next to her.
He walked up to the door, giving the child a questioning look over the top of his sunglasses.
"Darling, is this your…friend you told me about?" He questioned before looking up at the large ghost.
It seemed to trail off into the shadowy street, its purple body melting into the surroundings. Its yellow eyes and mouth stood out against the darkness at least, even if they were alarming.
"Why hello there! I believe we've come to strike up a contract about being in a movie!" The ghost greeted, grinning.
Grooves slowly opened the door, looking between the ghost and the girl.
"Darling? Are you sure this is your friend?" Grooves reiterated. Hat Kid nodded and smiled, walking in and immediately over to the sunglasses machine.
"Darling, if you break any stuff this time then I can't just rip up your charges. You will have to pay the studio what you owe." He looked back up at the ghost. "Are you sure you're friends?"
"Sadly, yes, I'm contractually obligated to be her friend. The name's Snatcher by the way," he introduced himself, extending one long arm. The penguin tentatively shook his hand before looking towards the owl side of the studio.
Grooves hadn't seen the Conductor since he'd returned to his own office.
"Excuse me, I just need to find my partner," Grooves apologised, quickly making his way along the same route he'd walked last night. He knocked lightly against the door.
"Darling?" He waited for a response, not getting one, before finally giving up and just opening the door.
The Conductor was slumped over at his desk, head resting atop scattered sheets of paper. The penguin rolled his eyes, walking over and gently prodding the owl. The Conductor merely groaned and buried his face further into his arms.
"You've got to get up darling."
"Why?" Conductor whined, batting away Grooves' flipper as the penguin reached for him again.
"Because the girl and her friend are here. And I don't fancy interviewing a ghost on my own," Grooves huffed. The Conductor rolled his head to the side, letting out a deep breath.
"I need somethin' to drink if we're interviewing a pecking ghost," he grumbled, slowly sitting before then standing.
"I can ask one of the penguins to pick up some coffee on the way in-"
"Sure, do that. But I need something stronger first if we're talking to a pecking ghost," he interjected, walking over to a cabinet at the side of the room and pouring himself something that smelled strongly like alcohol.
The door squeaked open further and Grooves turned to look at Hat Kid, who was now sporting two pairs of sunglasses. They weren't as nice as his of course, but they were still fairly decent.
"Darling! There you are! Now, where's that friend of yours?" Grooves questioned.
Hat Kid shrugged, gestured vaguely back towards the reception before walking into the room and snagging a piece of paper off the desk.
"Lassie, that's not yours. We need that so put it down, would yer?" Conductor said, not even waiting for an answer before manhandling the child so she let go of the paper.
He then picked her up and carried her until they were out of the office, gesturing for Grooves to follow. Once there was no one left inside he let go of Hat Kid and quickly locked the door.
"Alright then, let's go find yer friend." Hat Kid grinned and eagerly began to skip back towards the reception.
"Peck knows how she's got so much energy. Hope my grandkids aren't like that when they're older."
"What, you hope your grandkids don't grow up to be fabulous actors?" Grooves joked but the Conductor frowned.
"I hope they don't. Their ma doesn't need that. Besides, they already dance around like they're on birdseed. I don't need them more hyperactive," Conductor laughed sadly.
Grooves was about to interject when they arrived back at the reception, Hat Kid jumping up and down happily while pointing to Snatcher.
"Peck me, there really is a ghost."
"I would say 'in the flesh' but we all know that's impossible because I'm dead. So-" Snatcher snapped his fingers, a boom of thunder echoing through the air as a piece of paper and a quill hovered in the air in front of the two birds.
"Just sign here and we can get under way."
The Conductor reached out and grabbed the quill, starting towards the paper but Grooves snatched it out the way, holding it away from his shorter companion as he read it.
"Darling, there must be a mistake," Grooves let out a stunted, nervous laugh. "This says about us giving you our souls in exchange for you working with us."
Hat Kid stuck her tongue out at Snatcher as the ghost shrugged nonchalantly.
"It's not that big a deal, is it? I mean, aren't actors meant to sell their souls to the stage anyway?" Snatcher asked, face twisting with confusion.
"Yeah, whassa big deal?" Conductor asked, staring up at Grooves while also trying to grab the scroll from him.
Grooves shot him a distasteful look as Conductor leaned against him to try and gain more height. "Gimme that."
"No. You're sleep deprived and possibly hungover, I don't trust you with this," Grooves objected, glad that the Conductor was so short in comparison to him and his platform shoes.
Hat Kid skipped over to stand beside the two of them, extending her hands for the paper and quill.
The two birds reluctantly handed over the objects and the child set to quick work with crossing things out and writing new things in, before handing the paper back to the penguin.
"Kid, that's not how contracts work," Snatcher groaned, twisting his long body around to look at the paper as well. "But why not, it's not like I've got anything better to do. Stealing souls has been boring recently so I might as well try acting."
Grooves blinked, doing a double-take.
"So you don't really care about the contract?"
"Not at this point. As I said, I'm bored. Maybe acting will give me a renewed spark for my true line of business. So, when do I begin?" Snatcher asked, snapping his fingers again. The quill and paper burst and disappeared and Hat Kid clapped happily.
"Kid, if you're gonna act then I seriously need to sort you out a voice. As cute as your little gestures and silly faces are, they won't go very far in the grand scheme of things."
"So-" Conductor started.
"I mean, it's probably kinda fun too, right? I'm a big fan of your movies anyway. I did think about going into acting when I was still alive. Of course it didn't work out; I studied law instead and then my ex killed me," Snatcher rambled. "I've gotta say, it'll be interesting to see where you go with this movie, you've both got such different tastes in how you go about things. I mean, I never thought you'd ever work together on anything."
"Shut it, you peck neck!" Conductor shouted and the ghost paused, mouth forming a small 'o' shape as he looked down at the angry owl. "I don't care what yer did while alive! Can you act?!"
"I most certainly can."
"Then that's all ya had to say!" The yellow bird huffed, crossing his arms over his chest. "Can you make yourself a reasonable size at least?"
"I can try. Have you got a role for me though?"
Conductor rocked back and forth on his heels angrily.
"Hold on please," Grooves said, leaning down to be closer to the owl before continuing in a whisper. "Darling, he seems like he might be able to pull of the role of the man who runs the Moulin Rouge-"
"Harold Zidler."
"-Yes, him. I feel like this is the exuberance we're looking for," Grooves suggested. "We can give him a chance at least." Conductor looked sceptically between the penguin and the ghost.
"Fine! I'll sort out yer script later. Grooves, get everyone in. We need to sort out the script. And you-" he whirled to face Hat Kid "-you had better find me more actors! I'm countin' on you lassie."
The little girl grinned, offering him a thumbs up before waving to Snatcher and heading out the studio.
"Right, come on then. We can set yer up with a script."
Grooves grabbed Conductor's arm as he walked past. "Thanks for giving him a chance."
"Shut up. I'm doing this to win the award again, not for you."

You said I could send however many I want, so here goes
jungle au, hill house au, little zelink marriage of convenience, mmorpg, Time Traveler and her Knight (because I am interested in seeing something for the next chapter if anything exists), contractually obligated, Hercules au, Struggling artist Link/ Successful violinist Zelda, But In Dreams, Stop Following Me, What I Wouldn't Do For You - Fatherhood
UGH TUMBLR ATE MY POST! OKAY HERE WE GO AGAIN Okay i gave you snips of almost everything so imma put this under the cut so it's not aggressive lol!
I'll answer the other ask tomorrow bc this took me SO LONG because tumblr ate my og post
jungle au
George of the Jungle AU (but not really). So Link is raised by wolves because he was abandoned by his parents when he was cursed to be able to turn into a wolf, so his wolf mom raised him, but he's also well aware of how to be a human (like walking and brain function of an adult human etc). How? don't ask. He has a treehouse bc george of the jungle LOL! Zelda's a plant scientist and she goes in and nearly gets killed by a deku baba sting while she's studying it but distracted by the sound of wolves
Zelda never imagined that she’d find herself tangled in a patch of thorny vines, facing down a Deku Baba, lost in the thick forests of West Necluda while face to face with a naked man staring at her as if she were about a predator about to shoot him with the bow that was still inconveniently strung across her back. But here she was.
hill house au
so idk if you know the haunting of hill house show, but basically, ghosts live in a house, and the occupants aren't always aware of who's dead. So I have chapter 1 done, but that's from Zelda's mom's pov (named flora). Zelda is the main character in all the other planned chapters, but not the one i have written. Basically, Zelda lives in the castle and doesn't know who's a ghost and who's alive, especially bc her goddess powers allow her to physically feel the dead.
“Oh, no, you’re riding with me,” Rhoam laughed, grabbing Flora by the waist as she shrieked out her own burst of joy as she let herself collapse into his waiting arms. “So I can hold you longer.” Time had passed, and her affair with the guard remained a secret for over a year. No one had caught the lingering touches, the endless glances, the odd coincidences, the meetings in halls, the private walks Flora wanted so often. When she could get him far from the prying eyes of the castle like this, out into the fields where he was most himself, she felt the pressures of her life melt into these perfect moments.
little zelink
Honestly, this is like, one of my fav wips. It's such a hot mess though bc i was in teh process of rewriting it because i hated the first two chapters. But Zelda and Link are both royalty and they're betrothed young but don't know it. Zelda's older brother is in line for the throne, so she's reckless. Link has 2 bodyguard/bestfriends who are training to give their life for him if need be but they're only kids so it's a lot. Then threre's an attack and years pass so they're adults, but they find each other again and work together while apart to stop the war that's been going on for years because of their parents. (Also Zelda is sheik sooooo)
“Princess,” he said instead, bowing when she turned. He held his hand out when she moved to stand to return a curtsy. “Don’t stand. I was just wondering what you’re doing?” Her eyes lit up excitedly, and she grabbed his hand, pulling him down with her. “I was trying to make the flowers bloom, like Granny can. But I can’t do it yet. She told me to practice and to focus.” “You’re glowing,” Link pointed out, running his hand through the bright light. “I know.” Zelda stopped for a moment. “Shouldn’t you be with Edric? Or Fado, or Ralis, or Komali?” Link cocked his head to the side. “Do you want me to be?” “No! I just… don’t want to take up your time with something silly.” “I don’t think this is silly,” he said earnestly. And watched her eyes glisten again. Father’s letter said crushes would be hard. He didn’t imagine it would take up so much space in his brain, though. She couldn’t even smile without him thinking about it. “Can you tell me how to do it?” he asked, knowing full well that he possessed no magic. But it didn’t seem to stop Zelda.
marriage of convenience
This I actually talked to heaven about making an RP, but I also have the first three chapters already done and I can’t take more RP’s than the 6 I have ready to go (including ours lol), so I stopped working on it once I’d suggested it. But it’s basically Zelda and Link are both royalty, and their parents force them to get married, and they don’t like each other at first, but they’re kinda forced together away from both their affairs (ilia and the court poet I think) and eventually grow to love each other starting married rather than starting… not married LOL Here's some of what I had anyway!
Her mother had died years ago, but she wanted a hand to hold as she strode down the hall. She wanted her father’s arm to steady her as she stepped in tune to the cadence of the organ playing behind her. She wanted her brother’s kind smile watching on proudly from off to the side as she finally looked up from the floor. But all she was met with was the piercing blue eyes of her future husband at the end of an aisle. Dressed in the finest golden and green regalia, Prince Link of Faron— for that was all she’d acknowledge him as— stared at her with the wide eyes of one seeing their bride for the first time. But this was their second meeting, and that look held far less charm. He cleared his throat and stepped towards her, bowing low, letting the loose hair that was too short to stay tied back in his sleek ponytail fall into his face. “My Lady,” he whispered, a respectful greeting. And though she longed to spite this man with a lack of one herself, she simply held out her hand. “My Lord.” He kissed the back of it and rose, leading her towards the priestess before they both were left to stare at each other in awkward silence as a long passage about love and devotion was read aloud to a congregation of thousands. The callouses on his hands were rough and irritating. He was royalty, sure, but he was a military commander, and unfortunately, an excellent warrior himself as well as a leader. A small bend in the bone of his nose drew her eye. It wasn’t terribly noticeable, but the more she looked at it, the more distracting it became. And couldn’t he have at least bothered wear his hair down in the traditional style for their wedding? It was the least he could do after killing her brother. After all, that was why they were here. He needed to marry her.
mmorpg (here's a very early snip that's been rewritten, but it gets the vibe)-
The champions are all gamers in a guild together in an open world MMORPG. They play a game called Hyrule Warriors together all the time and have like a discord chat going at the same time so they can talk. In the meantime, Link is also one of the biggest names in streaming that game, but he goes by a different persona in the guild so he can just have fun rather than needing to constantly prove himself as his other character he streams on. Zelda doesn’t know, but she’s a huge fan of him as a streamer and has talked to him in forums, and she has a acrush on both versions of Link, not knowing they’re the same person. For some reason there’s no VC in the game specifically to keep that something she can’t figure out LOL!! I also had a smut thing written off to the side of that as them having fun in chat BAHHAHAH but idk if that would make it in, it’s more for fun
Time Traveler and her Knight (because I am interested in seeing something for the next chapter if anything exists)
1k already exists, yes!
When she’d been gifted the Slate, it had been little more than broken pieces, and Zelda felt an incredible sense of pride that she’d been able to fix it to this state once before. It was rarely used material from a civilization so advanced, they'd blocked off the time-travelers from managing to find it once again. 
There was one task she needed to accomplish by the time her assessment was done, but though she’d read similar procedures in the book, and had done less complex repairs, she just couldn’t seem to manage this repair.
She needed more hands.
Looking around, she sighed. She'd normally ask Terrako, but he was in no shape for it. 
How long had Zelda been alone with Terrako in here? Years now? Months? 
But she wasn't alone now, and that was nearly lost on her. She ran into the hall and quickly knocked on the door to Link's room, grinning when he emerged, dressed in the clothes she'd given him from just a few decades into the future from his time so he didn't have a total stroke. He looked quite cute in them, his shirt loose and ill fitting, but he managed without complaint. His pants needed a belt. Who had she even gotten these from? They weren't from...
"Link!" she smiled, cutting off her own thoughts. "Are you doing okay?" 
contractually obligated
This was Zelda is under contract (or something) to live in a small town for a year before she can leave. It was part stardew au too so she was either going to be a scientist or a farmer. Link was the rancher and a bartender at night, and he gives her a ride into town after she crashes into a fence while almost hitting a goat. So he was meant as like, the one who helps her get settled against her will lol Here's a snip from an old wip wed
Hercules au
I just opened the file and it's empty?? so I assume this was just a standard AU rip off... I could have sworn i wrote something... maybe its on my phone notes but my phone is WAYYY OVER THERE.... It was something like his mother was the goddess but that's really all I can remember! ALAS!
Struggling artist Link/ Successful violinist Zelda
This one is self explanatory in the name LOL! Zelda sees Link get hit by a car (not badly, just like omg he's been hit. he did not look both ways. sorry guys. He's in a grumpy mood at the start) and helps him out of the road and then he goes to her concert the next night (or something) to thank her and they go from there
Link slammed his head back, regretting every decision he’d ever made. Why did he ever go back to college? Why did he see that scholarship and decide that now was a good time to waste on school for an art degree that was never going to help him get a job outside of what he truly wanted to do. And if he failed? He’d be staying in coffee shops and washing dishes in kitchens his whole life. For some people, that was enough. But for Link? He wanted more. After carefully wrapping his tablet and as many books as he could under the protection of the rag that he’d return to its rightful place at work on Sunday, he heavily sighed and rose to his feet, pulling the wet bag over his shoulder. “Here,” Revali said, handing him a coffee a bit forcefully. “Now get out so I can clean the floor too.” “Thanks, Revali.” “Shut up.” Link smirked and pulled his hood back on before braving the storm.
But In Dreams
Link and Zelda can communicate during BOTW, but only when Link dreams. Their chats all happen when link sleeps and she can reach out. Ganon tries to infiltrate their thoughts more and more so they have to have a mental battle with him once he figures out how to get into their dreams.
Stop Following Me
All i have written down in this file is this but it doesn't make sense REALLY bc i don't know the plot?? "Link and Zelda are betrothed and that’s why she hates that he’s her knight and follows her around"
What I Wouldn't Do For You - Fatherhood
Link is a single father after Malon dies, he struggles to be a knight to Zelda and present father, but because there's an active threat to the kingdom, he can't just not let it be, he always feels he needs to make it safer for his kid. So he takes comfort with Zelda who tries to help him out a bit like with work hours. But then it leaves her open to attack, so he's trying to find the balance between fatherhood and soldier-hood. Basically Zelda becomes his daughter's stepmom.

Finding the Princess
Hello! I don’t know if anyone forgot about this AU, or not. I did for quite some time, but thanks to my friend @madeasubstitute who during our conversations of AHIT AU’s made me remember this AU and got me motivated to work on it again. Give her a big thank you and check out her fanfics because they deserve love!
Sorry for forgetting this AU for a while, been focused on my other big AU’s and well my mind is set to; make AU’s at any given time even at work (Which now I have a ton of AU’s)
Still, here is the next story of the AU!
Hope you enjoy it!!
A year has passed since Vanessa had disappeared, and since then Lucas has been searching everywhere for her. No matter where he went, no one had seen Vanessa; it was like the Queen had taken her somewhere never to be seen again. Lucas didn't want to give up and continued to look for Vanessa despite protest from Snatcher.
After another long day of searching, Lucas was just sitting on his couch staring at a photo of him and Vanessa at the park smiling and having fun on a date. He gave a sigh and held the photo close to his chest. “Where are you Vanessa?” Lucas whispered.
Snatcher peeked through the other room and sighed seeing Lucas still feeling down and went over to him. “So no luck finding your princess?” He asked. Lucas didn’t reply, which made Snatcher just roll his eyes. “Listen Luke, I know you want to find her, but you have to give up at some point.”
Lucas sighed and faced the ghost. “I can’t.” He replied. “I need to find her.”
Snatcher floated close to Lucas’s face, “And when you find her, what are you going to do next?” He asked. “The Queen has her wrapped under her finger, and your only option is to kill her!”
Those words made Lucas growl as she sat up and faced his ghostly partner. “How could you say that?! I don’t want to kill Vanessa!” He shouted.
“You only have one option Lucas, it's to let her roam free and kill as many people or have her dead so the Queen would find another host so you can kill them again!” Snatcher shouted back.
Lucas glared and got up from the couch. “That’s how it is?! I’m just going to keep killing people the Queen touches, so you can eat their souls?!” He asked. “Isn’t there another way to do this?!”
Snatcher sighed and shook his head. “I’m sorry Luke. I wish there was a way, but there isn’t.” He told him. Lucas stared at Snatcher in disbelief, was there no way to stop the Queen without killing any innocent humans.
“Please.” Lucas begged, surprising Snatcher. “Please don’t let me kill Vanessa! I love her.” He admitted, which surprised his ghost. “Let me find a way to stop the Queen and save her!”
The ghost stared at his partner’s eyes and saw hope and love in them. Throughout his existence, Snatcher never heard of someone wanting to stop the Queen by not killing her partner. Lucas cried and begged Snatcher for another way to save Vanessa, something he has done for quite some time now.
With a sigh, Snatcher looked up at Lucas. “You're not going to let this go, are you?” He asked. Lucas shook his head in reply. “I never had a partner like you before, Luke. If you do want to try saving Vanessa, then I guess let’s do it.”
Lucas blinked in surprise and then gave a wide smile. Snatcher saw the big smile on his human partner’s face, and had to remind his partner one last thing.
“However, if it doesn’t work. Your only option is to kill her.” Snatcher reminded him.
“Don’t worry Snatcher. I’m going to bring Vanessa back!” Lucas told him, ignoring the whole killing part. Snatcher sighed, but was glad to see Lucas was happy and no longer a mope.
He then gave the same proud smile and agreed with his human partner. “Then let’s do this!” He and Lucas gave each other a high five. Starting tomorrow, the two were going to hunt for Vanessa together!
The following day, Snatcher kept his promise with Lucas and decided to help him look for Vanessa. They decided to not look in town, but in the park where Lucas and Vanessa had their last fight. “Alright, this is the one place we hadn’t looked yet. She could be hiding here.” Snatcher explained.
“You sure?” Lucas asked.
“Well, you’ve been looking for her town after town, city after city. The park and forest areas are the only places we haven’t looked.” Snatcher explained.
With a sigh, Lucas held on to his bag that contained his cellphone and flashlight in case they decided to look up till midnight. “Then, let’s go.” He said, ready to go. “We’ll split up and cover more-”
“Woah! Woah! Woah there Lukey-boy!” Snatcher cut him off. “Split up? Really?” He asked. “You know that’s the quickest way to die?!”
Lucas chuckled. “Come on, you know that’s only in movies.”
Snatcher crossed his arms. “I’d lost six people, hunting for the Queen that way.”
Lucas chuckled again, this time nervously. “Well, I know this forest like the back of my hand I’m sure I’ll be-” Snatcher then cut him off again.
“One of them had their head popped off.”
This made Lucas give a sheepish smile and listen to his ghost partner. “Got it, we stick together.”
“Good.” Snatcher replied giving a smile, with that the two went through the forest to look for Vanessa. Behind them was two kids, Hailey and Timmy who were secretly following Lucas and Snatcher.
“Do we have to follow them?” Hailey asked.
“We have too.” Timmy replied. “We need to see what’s up with that man and his ghost.” He then kept walking, following where Snatcher and Lucas were going. Hailey rolled her eyes and gave a sigh before following her older brother into the woods.
Deep into the forest, Snatcher and Lucas looked all over for Vanessa, calling her name though Snatcher was calling the Queen’s name hoping to pick a fight with her. “Vanessa! Vanessa!” Lucas shouted. “Where are you Vanessa?”
“Hey queeny! You hurt my human, why don’t you show yourself you coward!” Snatcher shouted. However, the Queen was nowhere in sight. Snatcher sighed till he heard rustling in the bushes, he floated over to the bush and was ready to look who was there. As he got closer Lucas saw Snatcher looking into the bushes and followed his friend.
“Find anything?” Lucas asked.
“Someone is following us.” Snatcher replied. Lucas looked into the bushes and walked closer to it, he went to look through but saw there was nothing there.
He shrugged and kept on looking for Vanessa. “It was probably a bunny or some wild animal.” He told him. Snatcher turned back at the bush and shrugged following Lucas again.
The two didn’t look deep enough as Hailey and Timmy were hiding in another bush, or in Hailey’s case behind a tree. The siblings sighed seeing Lucas and his ghost friend leaving the scene. “That was a close one.” Hailey sighed.
“I’ll say.” Timmy replied. “Come on, we’ll lose them!” Timmy then came out of his hiding spot with Hailey following right behind him.
Hours had passed and Lucas nor Snatcher found no signs of Vanessa, leading to another dead end. It started to get late as the sun started to set. Lucas sighed seeing the two would have to give up for the night and head home. “Well, we checked and no sign of Vanessa anywhere.”
“I know. You tried.” Snatcher sighed as well. It was a quiet walk back home between the two of them. The only sounds were birds chirping and the rustling of bushes coming from Timmy and Hailey.
Lucas stopped and turned back, getting a sense that there was someone following them all day. “Alright, I know someone is following me. Show yourself! I won’t hurt you.” Lucas spoke up.
“He’d probably will!” Snatcher shouted. Lucas glared at his ghost partner. “What, no one can hear me.”
“Actually, we can.” Timmy revealed as he and his sister came up to Lucas and Snatcher, causing the two to scream.
“T-That’s not possible!” Snatcher shouted. “N-No one can see obligated ghosts unless they have one of their own!”
Hailey and Timmy looked at each other and back at Snatcher. “Well, we can.” Hailey replied.
Snatcher was panicking over this. He didn’t sense a single ghost from the two, so how come they can see him? He shook it off and glared at the two brats. “Don’t matter, Lucas!” Snatcher shouted. “Get your Poltergem and get those brats!”
Lucas stared at Snatcher in disbelief. “A-Are you crazy?!” He asked. “I’m not killing children for their souls!”
“Well I’m not being discovered by brats who don’t have ghosts themselves!” Snatcher shouted back.
“Ahem.” Hailey cleared her throat. “You try and kill us, and we’ll post this all over the internet.” She threatened holding up her cellphone, which was playing the video of the fight Snatcher, possessing Lucas’s body and the Queen possessing Vanessa’s body fighting each other. Lucas and Snatcher gasped seeing the entire fight caught on camera. This in turn brought back sad memories for Lucas, and how this fight was the last time he saw Vanessa.
Seeing his friend upset, Snatcher growled at the little girl. “You little brat.” He growled. “How could you hurt my buddy like this.” He turned towards Lucas, who was just watching the video and the memories of him and Vanessa played in his head. “Lucas, transform now!”
“Transform, and I’ll send!” Hailey threatened once again.
Lucas let out a yell and punched a tree shushing everyone. Hailey and Snatcher looked in shock and silence and Timmy quickly went to her sister and held her close to protect her before Lucas did anything to her. Lucas breathed heavily, calming down a bit. He looked up at Snatcher and Hailey silently staring at them.
Letting out a huge sigh, Lucas decided to speak to Snatcher first. “I’m not going to kill children over finding us out.” He told his ghost friend. Snatcher didn’t have time to react when Lucas faced the two kids and spoke up. “Who are you two, and why are you following us?”
Hailey put her phone down seeing Lucas wasn’t going to kill them and replied. “My name is Hailey and this is my older brother Timmy.” She answered. “We’d known about you when we saw your fight and caught it on video.”
“Why catch it on video?”
“We think you got possessed and we had to catch it on tape.” Timmy answered. “I love catching ghosts on camera and looking into the paranormal.”
Hailey then added on. “Which is para-not-normal to everyone, but to us it's para-so-normal.”
“Great ghost hunter kiddos.” Snatcher groaned rolling his eyes. Then the soul stealing ghost had a question for them. “So how can you see me?”
“Like we said, we just can.” Hailey repeated what she said earlier. “I don’t know either, but at least we know this man here,” she commented pointing at Lucas, “isn’t a crazy man.” Lucas took offense to that and gave a glare to the girl. Hailey replied, giving a cute little giggle.
However, Lucas couldn’t get mad at two kids and decided to take them home. “Well, since it’s getting late do you need help getting home?” He asked.
Timmy and Hailey went silent and turned away from Lucas and frowned. This made Lucas and Snatcher realize something happened to their parents. “Um we have no place to stay.” Hailey admitted.
“What happened to your parents?” Lucas asked.
“Murdered.” Timmy answered, turning away from the older man. “Someone murdered them.”
Lucas sighed and walked over to the kids and put a hand on their shoulder. “I’m terribly sorry.” He told them. Hailey and Timmy didn’t reply, they’ve replied to too many I’m sorrys already. “Do you at least have a place to stay? Or someone watching you?”
Timmy shook his head. “We still live in our house, just no one watches us.” He revealed.
“Well in case you need a place to stay. You two can stay with me.” Lucas offered.
“WHAT?!” Snatcher yelled as his eyes snapped open. He pulled Lucas from the kids and went up to his face. “Are you CRAZY?! You can’t just adopt these kids?!”
“Come on Snatcher, they have no parents and they live alone. If someone finds out they could be taken away and separated.” Lucas explained. Snatcher crossed his arms and turned away from his human partner and glared at the kids. Lucas sighed, and realized now he had to resort to bribery. “If you can agree with me on this, you can have half of my bacon sandwiches for a month!”
Snatcher’s eyes widened hearing the word bacon sandwich. “Make it two months!” He offered.
“Deal!” Lucas finalized.
“So you’ll allow us to stay with you?” Hailey asked. Lucas nodded.
Hailey then looked at her brother who didn’t seem to be bothered by it. “Fine by me.” Timmy replied. Hailey cheered excitedly that she’s going to be in a new home. However, Timmy pulled on her shirt, reminding her not to get too excited. “However, we are not going to move in tonight. Just give us time to think about it.”
Lucas gave a slow nod. “Understandable. Take all the time you need.” He told them.
“We will.” Hailey replied. “Now we will show you where our house is!”
Lucas giggled. “Alright, alright.” He and Snatcher then took the siblings home to their house with Hailey leading the way. Once the siblings made it home safely, Snatcher and Lucas got home themselves and passed out on the couch.
Far away in an abandoned manor, the Queen was looking out the window before turning to Vanessa who was sitting on her bed staring at a photo of her and Lucas. She floated over to her human and snarled at the photo of Lucas.
“When can I see him again?” Vanessa asked. The Queen’s eyes widen before giving a sigh and putting her hand on the young girl’s shoulder.
“Now, now Vanessa.” The Queen reassured her. “You know better, he’s with the enemy, you can’t see him, only killing him.”
Vanessa sighed, and moved away from her ghost partner. “I don’t want to kill him. I love him.” She admitted.
This ticked off the Queen, as she grabbed Vanessa’s shirt and pulled her close to her. “Listen here!” She shouted. “He doesn’t love you! He'll never love you! He’s Snatcher’s pet meaning he’ll kill you! Understand that!”
Vanessa whimpered and didn’t want to face the Queen’s icy glare. She didn’t want to believe any of it, Lucas loved her, and she loved him back. “What if he doesn’t?” She growled.
The Queen glared and pulled Vanessa closer to her. “You’ll see.” The Queen growled back. “And soon you’ll be in pain just like how it was with your mother.” Vanessa’s eyes widened as she let out a gasp.
Outside of Vanessa’s room a figure of a woman, as well as a floating pair of eyes listened in on the conversation. The duo’s main goal: To protect and serve Vanessa as well as the Queen from anyone who decides to harm them. Even Lucas and Snatcher.

They’re fresh! They’re dead! They’re ghost kids ruling over a forest! It’s the Haunted Hats Subcon Squad! Woo!
Redrawn refs ready for 2022 babbyyy. Do reblog and show, introduce more ppl to the squad and the AU >:3
Look down here for info, music ideas, and idk stuff. I’m mostly copy pasting stuff from old posts and google docs, but I’m editing some stuff.
THE HERO
She believes she’s a hero, anyway. The princess of Subcon Kingdom, Hero is a ghost with a temper who doesn’t appreciate trespassers in her forest kingdom! Do that crime, you gotta do some time.
When Beta enters Subcon Kingdom, Mu forces her to sign a contract to agree that she’ll help out with chores and other tasks around the forest as punishment for trespassing into the forest and causing a bit of damage by accident. Hero is doing her best to make Subcon Kingdom a better place (though is failing) and now Beta needs to help. Unfortunately, she should have read the fine print of that contract, because now she lost ownership of her soul for awhile. Peck.
Music (underlined words have links to music):
So, Hero’s got several different motifs to go by, but with the role she’s in she only needs like a couple songs so let’s go in order.
1: Snatcher’s Contractual Obligations! This counts yes it does. When you meet Hero, it goes similar to how you meet Mu in the game. You see her, you start going in her direction to follow her, then suddenly you get into her version of Snatcher’s purple vine area as she says “HEY I SAW YOU STALKING ME YKNOW”. Hers wouldn’t sound as intense? Because she’s not necessarily trying to be evil? It might sound a little condescending, she means business. You trespassed into her forest which is a crime, now you’ve gotta make up for it.
I feel like with that song... I first thought hers could be made with A New Friend In Mafia Town, but after thinking about it, I honestly think with Snatcher’s Contractual Obligations it would work better with the tune of Judge, Jury, and Executioner. I was thinking about this earlier and I honestly think this song could be really cool, even if the song isn’t used often.
2: Okay, so remember So, What’s The Plan?  HERO COULD GET HER OWN SPOOKIFIED VERSION OF THIS WHEN SHE’S MAKING YOU SIGN CONTRACTS AND TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO… That’d be cool. I guess it could keep the tune it already has but just sound spookier for Subcon?? idk man.
3: Let’s talk about the theme of Subcon Forest itself! Sure it could be the same but I think it’d be fun if it had more Mu motifs since she’s (1) the main leader of Subcon and (2) the one who actually has lived there all her life. I think it could have several different motifs, BUT THE MAIN ONE WOULD DEFINITELY BE Judge, Jury, And Executioner . Judge, Jury and Executioner my beloved… It’s one of my top favourite AHIT songs, if you didn’t know. Anywho yeah the HH Subcon Kingdom theme would def still contain some of it’s og themes, but also Mu ones.…honestly, no no, it would also include themes relating to the other ghosts :0 some Her Spaceship motifs for Collector and Hoarder, and… idk, something for Haunter. Timmy doesn’t have music.
4: Oh, It’s You! Oh yeah. Maybe Hero’s would be a lil more triumphant, a little royal since she’s acting as the “Queen/Princess” of Subcon? Not sure which of her songs would fit best with it.. But I’d be interested in hearing something like it. Maybe A New Friend In Mafia Town since that’s her most chill theme, with hints of like Judge, Jury, Executioner in there.
5: NOW FOR HERO’S BOSS FIGHT. Mu literally has 3 separate battle themes, mix one or all of them into Your Contract Has Expired and you’re good. Probably Segment 2, it’s the best. I guess some segment 3 could be in there but like... that one is more like for Hat Kid having the rush and triumph and almost saving the world. Ofc the battle theme could also have all her other themes thrown around in there too.
THE HAUNTER
The spooky, coat wearing spirit who haunts the abandoned manor within Subcon Kingdom! It’s said that he took it over shortly after he got here and turned it into the most haunted building in the land, with over a hundred rooms and maze-like corridors. It’s also said you can hear the rave music from the ghost parties that go on in there from miles away. He’s not exactly the most intimidating ghost, but he tries to be!
You don’t get to fight this ghost, nope! He’s just not into that kind of activity. Instead, he gives you the challenge of getting through his haunted manor in order to get a Time Piece reward! Not only that, but there may or may not be a couple more hidden rewards within the many halls and rooms of the manor. More Time Pieces? Stickers? Remixes? Dyes? They’re all hidden somewhere! But the place is a maze of rooms, how are you supposed to find anything in there, especially your way out? 
Music (underlined words have links to music):
just KIDDING I GUESS I CAN’T REALLY DO THAT THERE IS NO MUSIC RELATED TO HIIIIMM…
Well, he can have an Oh, It’s You ofc. Again, really not sure about his motifs.
Maybe since he was cut co-op he has some similar motifs to Coco and Hoarder? Ooh, that’d make sense... the three other ghosts having similar motifs. Maybe stuff like the title screen. Oh, and also Tim’s unused theme. Honestly? Something like that could be fun with an Oh, It’s You. Would make sense since he’s Tim’s kid.
The only other theme Haunter would have is for his haunted manor. Basically how it works is you have to go through it to get a Time Piece from Haunter if you manage to get out of the maze of a haunted house. Inside are lots of rooms, puzzles, parkour, etc. It’s bigger on the inside. You can find stickers in there, yarn, more time pieces, coins, secrets ;).
So the mansion theme would be of similar instrument and vibe to the usual theme for Vanessa’s manor, but not AS creepy, yknow? A little fun spooky? Mysterious? What’s around that next corner? What’s in the next room? What’s gonna pop out next? Maybe a song similar to that of Gloucester Carousel from Mad Rat Dead. Not AS upbeat, way more spooky and curious, but it has that goofy vibe as if this is a game.
THE COLLECTOR AND THE HOARDER
This hat-wearing ghost may just be the smuggest ghost of them all! What’s her and Hoarder’s goal? To collect! Collect what? ...Well, everything! Originally, it was just Time Pieces, but their ghostly corruption and boring afterlife led them to want so much more!
As her name suggests, she collects things! She enlists in Beta to help her collect Time Pieces, much to the kid’s dismay. You do end up fighting her to get all the Time Pieces back for yourself, and Collector has all the different hat abilities. Yes, EVEN Time-Stop. She’s a tough foe. When she’s not being smug and laid-back evil, she can be devastating to your HP.
The Collector’s ghostly little sister and helper, the Hoarder, is a shy spirit who doesn’t do as much collecting as her sister. She does more of the organizing. Everything has to be in its place! Her presence in Subcon Kingdom isn’t as well known as the other ruler ghosts, and her existence is often forgotten as a whole. But, don’t be fooled! She can be just as smug and frustrated as her sister!
After finishing up the tasks with Collector, Beta goes into Collector and Hoarder’s abandoned spaceship hide-out to retrieve the Time Pieces that have been put there. Just when you think Hoarder isn’t gonna be a threat to you, just wait! She’s the obstacle you’ve got to watch out for in that hide-out. She’s doing some organizing and cleaning as usual, and you have to sneak past in order to get to the room the Time Pieces are being kept in. In order to distract her, you’ll have to use the brewing hat to knock down items from shelves so Hoarder will be focused on fixing and putting the item back for a few seconds. If you’re spotted however, you have to hide quickly, or else Hoarder will call Collector back to the hide-out for her to give you a game-over.
Music (underlined words have links to music):
Honestly? They have more of the Vanessa’s manor activity than Haunter does. So, for these two, they love to collect things, especially time pieces. So you have to go collect that stuff for them. Now, you wanna go and get that stuff back in the end.
C and H live in their crashed spaceship which they use as a house. It’s full to the brim with shelves of collected items, and you have to sneak through it and get all your belongings while heading to the room full of Time Pieces. (There’s actually two variations of Time Pieces so Beta knows which are hers.) But as you’re sneaking through their hide out while Collector is away, Hoarder is there to guard their treasure. So you have to be careful for her to not see you. If she does, Hoarder will call Collector, and they’ll both give you a game over. Which nobody wants. So you’ll have to distract her by making sounds in different spots to distract her, sneak around, etc.
SO. SO. Since this is in their spaceship. Maybe the music there would be like… Her Spaceship sounding creepy and sounding like the manor music? :0 Oh that would be so cool.
They both have an Oh, It’s You! of course. They’d probably share one, but that’s... boring. Idk. Collector’s would be smugger, Hoarder’s would be softer. Probably would have elements from Peace and Tranquility, maybe the menu theme. Coco and Hoarder have a lot of motifs to choose from as the protagonists of AHIT algkjkglh.
Then there IS boss fight with Collector, and she has access to all the hats so that also makes her tough. Again, lots of motifs for what her song could be. Of course it would also sound like Your Contract Has Expired, but there’s a lot of Hat Kid themes. Maybe hers would have the Segment 3 from You Are All Bad Guys mixed with her other themes like the spaceship theme, menu theme.

(ravensroleplays, AHIT AU, Lone Snatch and Kid Verse) Snatcher, in his true, full 'noodle' ghost form, held a journal, the keepsake from his latest contractor, letting out a laugh as he watched the poor sap rush off to complete their contractual obligations. Turning around, he started to head back home...only to stop as he saw Hikari standing before him, apparently having seen the whole thing. And with that, the smile melted off the huge ghost's face like butter. "...how long were you standing there?" (I had to sooner or later)
“Hikari just got hewe. Hikari wanted a gwass of watew.” She woke up from her nap and felt groggy

i think i'm contractually obliged to ask abt the Cyberpunk AU now!
The cyberpunk AU comes from this prompt fill, and is me attempting to write a cyberpunk Gibson-esque murder mystery noir that is also a ghostfic with all the angst that entails.
(RDAC stands for Rapid Data Access Chip, yes people call it an RDAC (pronounced ar-dack) chip because people are Like That. Think how people say PIN number sometimes.)
"You live here?" Jaskier says, aghast. Geralt winces as he lets go of the door too soon and the 'ghost's projection clips through it, though Jaskier doesn't seem to notice. He shrugs in answer, and drops the RDAC chip on the worn composite of the low table table. The room's complimentary cleaner-bot shuffles up and scans it, the staticky automated voice droning in the background with RestEZ Lodgings policy forbids the use of illegal chemical or electronic intoxicants within rooms failure to comply will result in-- and then the scan is done and the bot chirps and moves to scan Geralt, the message repeating.
Jaskier sits down, gingerly, on the edge of the single bed. "Aren't you worried about-- diseases, or something? This place is disgusting."
Geralt shrugs, watching the little spiderlike bot click and creak through the scan, blue lights flickering. "Can't catch them."
Jaskier makes a face and leans ever so slightly away from the pillows. "Yes, but why not somewhere, I don't know, with fewer mysterious stains on the walls?"
"Can't afford it," Geralt grunts, and checks the minifridge to see if there's anything left over from the last time he went out. He's been in Novigrad about a month now, and he'd been hoping to a week ago, after his last contract wrapped up, and then Shani called him in for this case, and that case, and now he's got a murder to solve and a fucking annoying dataghost inside his head for the foreseeable future.
"Really? Why not?"
Geralt looks at him. Jaskier knows, has to know, he called him Butcher after all, but the 'ghost is just staring at him blankly, too-blue eyes shimmering with projection after-images, Geralt's implanted lenses leaving smears of light over his retinas.
He sighs, hauls out a carton of leftover something, and says "No one wants to hire the Butcher of Blaviken when there's a perfectly good private corporation to do the work for you."

(In response to the latest round of angst in the oth!AU, specifically the round involving Snatcher punching the mirror because he’s so terrified of being weak. Because my knee-jerk reaction to angst to write fix-it stuff.)
  “I don’t think he’d hate you, you know.”
“What?”
“The Prince – old you,” Hat Kid clarifies, kicking her legs where she’s sitting on the diving board to the pillow pool, “I don’t think he’d hate you. Probably not be thrilled about your unlife choices, but I don’t think he’d hate you. And I don’t think you hate him as much as you think you do.”
“Oh?” that was enough to get Snatcher to push himself upright, a jolt of pain reminding him that he really should be more careful with his injured hand, “And how exactly did you come to that conclusion, kiddo?”
“‘cause I just don’t. And ‘cause you’re still more like him than you think.”
And those are fighting words-! “Excuse you, I am nothing like that- that- weak, pitiful excuse for a-!”
“Sure you are,” she counters, as casually unafraid of him as ever, the annoying little twerp, “‘cause if you weren’t anything like him, then you’d be blaming Vanessa instead of him for everything that went wrong. Like, yeah, he made some bad choices, but he’s not the one who made her do all those awful things to him. And I mean, like, look at you! He was like, what, twelve when all this happened? Poor kid!”
“I don’t want to hear that from someone who is still actually a kid!”
“Details,” she waves a dismissive hand at him, “And anyway, you learned from it – you got to know me plenty before you finally broke down and agreed to be more than just my contractually-obligated BFF! Which means you forgave me for kicking your noodly butt! So…” she pauses and frowns. “I’m not sure where I was going with that, I distracted myself. The point is, at the very least maybe it’s time to stop blaming yourself for what happened. You did your best.”
“And look where that got me!” he snaps back as the room starts to vibrate for some reason, “You’ve been to the mansion, you know what happened, and I couldn’t stop it then, and I couldn’t do anything but keep her away as a ghost, and now I-” he stops, because he can’t say it, it’s one thing to know how helpless and pathetic he is, but to say it- admit it- he can’t-
Hat Kid frowns at him, then hops off the diving board to do a perfect dive into the pillows, surfacing near him to take his hand. “Snatcher? Snatcher, you’re shaking, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have-” she cuts herself off with an expression of dawning comprehension. “Hey, Snatcher!”
“What?” he growls, not nearly as menacingly as he should be able to since he’s in this pathetic human body again.
“Wanna learn how to fight?”
Well… that’s not what he was expecting. “What?!”
“Fight!” she repeats excitedly, bouncing a little in the pillows, “I got my umbrella in Mafia Town, and we found one for Bow, too, so I bet we could get one that’s big enough for you, and then I’ll show you how to use it right! And then if something bad happens, you can defend yourself, and we could ask Moonjumper to make you some badges, and- Snatcher? Do you not want to, you don’t have to, I just thought…?”
Abruptly he realizes that her look of concern is probably connected to the burning-yet-wet sensation in his eyes and, oh, yes, tears, again, goody. …they don’t feel as- as ugly or helpless as they have before though. The thought of running around waving an umbrella should be ridiculous, only… she’s right, she had beaten him, at his full power, and she’d used her umbrella to help her do it. And, yes, naturally she’s an alien and it probably won’t work quite the same for him as it does for her, but…
He likes the idea of not being helpless. And if he’d had something, anything to defend himself from the guards with back then, maybe, just maybe…
“Nah, kid, that sounds… good. Might as well give it a try, not like I have anything better to do.”
“Great!” she beams, then drags him down to flop in the pillows with her, “Okay, first lesson of fighting – getting a good night’s sleep! You can’t fight right if you’re too sleepy, trust me on this one.”
“Uh-huh,” he gives her a bemused look and gets a surprisingly serious one in return.
“No, really, trust me on this one, and also don’t ask Bow about it, ‘cause she’ll tell you a bunch of stuff that absolutely isn’t true and also sounds really bad out of context-”
He snorts, then listens with amusement as she takes this as a sign to keep justifying herself and also complain that it’s not her fault her arms aren’t long enough yet to-
Somewhere between her complaints and making plans for tomorrow, he drifts to sleep.
  (And that’s how Snatcher gets a ghost-patterned umbrella and some self-defense lessons. Also, Hat Kid’s a kid – she’s trying, bless her, but she’s not 100% on how to handle PTSD yet, especially a case like Snatcher’s.)

yes im very sure! i dont really care about it being complete i just like to read
AUGH I SPENT LIKE TWO HOURS ON THIS AND TUMBLR RELOADED
okok here we go I’m putting ‘em under a cut
I love Frigid by ImmortalCoalecanth, the characterization is great and I’m a sucker for MC teams up with a boss :)
Who Doesn’t Like Hat Kid? by MonsterMonsoon is super fun and WE GET SOME BIRD BONDING TIME YEAHH— I think it’s incomplete but the chapters are somewhat self-contained so it’s not too bad?
Little Deals by Insecuriousity is an unexpected but not unwelcome backstory for the Walrus Captain’s ship, involving a certain ghost ;)
Warm by Skippyin is a unique take on Snatcher’s backstory!
Illiteracy by eggsinsunnyside features Hat Kid not knowing how to read, the perfect excuse for some bonding huehue...
A Little Hatted Borrower by MonsterMonsoon is that borrower fic I mentioned, I love it so much 😭 Sometimes I still go back and reread it even though I know it cuts off right when it picks up hhh
A House Full of Monsters is also by MonsterMonsoon! It’s an AU where the bosses (and some others) are secretly monsters, and also roommates :DD Plenty of found family, although it too is unfinished.
A House That Walks by Drakka is inspired by the last one, but contains violence/blood so be warned.
Into the Lions’ Den by Krekka01 features Hat Kid getting some closure with Empress post-Rush Hour!
la loi, c’est moi by MiniNephthys is hilarious and has some actual lawyer Snatcher which is great :)
The Puppeteer by ZurielWritings23 has Moonjumper, boss fights, and possession, oh my!
Empress’ Revenge, also by ZurielWritings23, includes another very well-written boss fight, plus some momma CC and dadtcher as a treat.
We also have From the Stars by Yacer_Sho, which gives a very creative backstory to Hat Kid and has three whole endings! I won’t spoil anything else ;)
Loopholes by Fruisun is very cute and features Snatcher being a big ol’ tsundere ^^
Christmas in Subcon Forest by DeckofDragons is short and sweet, although it is still June...
I like the characterization in Tired by StellaHope, and it also includes some lovely art at the end!
The Harsh Winter’s Creep by SmugSpecter has a good mix of fluff and angst, and I must admit I‘m also a sucker for protective dadtcher 👀
Quality Time(pieces) by automatonBoy has some cool headcanons and my beloved Snatcher + Hat Kid interactions <3
Rest by DeckofDragons is kind of a sick fic but PLOT TWIST it’s Snatcher who’s sick-ish!!
I’ll save myself some time and recommend the whole series Tales of the Fire Spirits by SilyaBeeodess! It gives the fire spirits some amazing lore which I don’t remember seeing anyone else do before.
Music by DeckofDragons is part of that phase where everyone on Ao3 wrote about Snatchman playing the violin bc of that one artwork lolol
lovely little glass roses by schrodingers_cat is a history of Vanessa, and BEAUTIFULLY written!
gilt edges, traitor hearts by noxes involves a mer AU by MonsterMonsoon, and some Dadjumper!
You’re My BFF by automatonBoy is adorable and we finally get some genuinely nice Moonjumper on this list :D I also absolutely love that one line about Hat Kid being able to tell Snatcher’s general “kid” from his secretly affectionate “kid” hvhjgh ❤️❤️
Bad Place for a Window by Cardigan_Quincy is short, but has some great characterization :)
Captured by DeckofDragons! What’s that? More protective dadtcher? Don’t mind if I do owo
Revenge and a Little Bit More by owlcakes has a similar premise, but DANG it’s long. To summarize, Empress gets REKT lmbo
Reliving An Old Nightmare by Erekio is about Snatcher suddenly finding himself human again... and back in the past. There’s an element of mystery to it, so I won’t say much else, but every chapter is accompanied by illustrations! Erekio has redrawn a few of them here on tumblr :)
Dwellings of the Ancient Gods by Nosferatank is super well written, and involves some Twilight Bell shenanigans :)
Chapter 3: Contractual Obligations by Ina (CosmicKouhai) is part of a larger AU where all the bosses go into their respective Purple Time Rifts with Hat Kid, I think? It’s pretty cool!
Snowcon Forest by ImmortalCoalecanth is AMAZING and I definitely recommend you read it!! It was one of the first things I read for this fandom, and what got me into dadtcher <3
Best in the Business by MysticDoodle is a Mandelorian-inspired AU! (You don’t need to have seen the Mandelorian to enjoy it, I haven’t haha) It’s very creative, and I like the characters so far!
Beware the Frozen Heart by NanixErka is a cool concept, wherin the thing that happens to Anna in Frozen basically happens to Hat Kid D:
Do you think your love could transcend time and space? by twip/twipsai is a soulmate AU with tons of found family and fluff that I‘m sucking up like Rumbi ;w;
Familial Obligations by BumblingBriars is about Snatcher finding Hat Kid as a baby, and raising her :D It indirectly inspired BGDC! But that’s a story for another time, haha.
The Girl And The Ghost by phantomthief_fee is a Beauty and the Beast AU, but with friendship in place of romance! =)
I like the concept of Sinking Feeling by ThunderDragonFruit, and also agree :’( @ Gearsforbreakfast more CC content pls
The Forest is calling (can’t you hear it whisper?) by Kayuri and Mint_Mint features sentient Subcon and OCs turning into canon characters! I’ve never seen something like it before, but it’s written very well 👍
Nothing Special by ToothpasteDragon is based on MonsterMonsoon’s borrower AU so you know I’m gonna eat it up :’)
Also Wrong Place at the Wrong Time by ToothpasteDragon, based on MonsterMonsoon’s monster AU! (There’s a bit of blood in this one)
Recall by Galakii features a time loop, which is cool!
What’s in a Name by Raeolu involves shenanigans with the pronunciation of Hat Kid’s real name. Always a fun one ^^
The Part-Time Puppeteer by Erekio is also pretty funny! It’s based on the puppet AU by Fedoraspooky which I love <3 Aaa musical theatre and theatre in general is my favorite :D
I’ve also been following A Cloak in Time’s Trials by ElectricBlaster, which gives Hat Kid a shipmate for her adventures! It has a large focus on an OC, Cloak Kid, which may not be for everyone, but I like him :)
And FINALLY, be kind (rewind) by fivers, featuring another time loop and four whole dads! Have I mentioned yet that I am also an absolute sucker for found family 👀
(I’d also like to mention that idk if they count as fanfics but I enjoy MysteryMan_17’s AU Concept write-ups :D)
Phew, finally! I probably forgot at least one tbh, if I remember any I’ve forgotten I’ll edit this ^^ AND, absolutely no pressure to any authors of the unfinished fics to complete them! I completely understand losing motivation and/or interest in something, and your mental and physical health are more important than any silly fanfiction ^^

Dream trip: Look... if I had the resources and could safely travel between counties, I would fucking love to visit my friends if they would have me. So like the Phillipines, Italy, Florida, New York and wherever else they all live if they wanted me to visit 😊
Favorite food: Lasagna
Favorite song: Uh... let’s see... Touch the Sky? Can I say that?

Chopped: Holiday Trope Exchange 2020 Masterlist!
A huge thanks to every person who signed up for our fic exchange, we got 21 really wonderful fics! We’re sorry it took us so long to get this out to you all! For anyone who isn’t sure what this was all about, this was a double blind gift exchange where each of our twenty-one (21!!!) writers were assigned four tropes from an anonymous recipient, and were tasked with writing a fic that fit our holiday theme, and included all the tropes. The only guidance from their recipient were a couple of brief notes they included during the sign up, and both the writer and recipient were revealed when we shared all the fics! A big thanks to the Tropesters who stepped up to write a second fic when we needed them! These fics, as with all our TROPED fics, were creative and unique, and found ways to utilise tropes that may seem so simple but were transformed in really spectacular ways! Please enjoy these wonderful holiday fics!
——————————————————————————
roots in my dreamland (my house of stone, your ivy grows) (Rated M) [Bellarke]
Written by @captaindaddykru for @thelittlefanpire. The four assigned tropes were 1) Doppelgängers, 2) one character is a dancer, 3) first snow, and 4) kissing to keep a cover/a secret.
Summary: Clarke really wants it to work out with Bellamy, but as an A-list Hollywood actress there’s a lot of contractual obligations she can hide behind instead of confronting her own insecurities and past mistakes. Luckily, this Christmas she’s lucked out, and her stand-in Josie is more than willing to (completely selflessly of course) take her place.
Now comes the hard part.
brighter than moonbeams (Rated T) [Memori]
Written by @the-most-beautiful-broom for @thedefinitionofendgame. The four assigned tropes were 1) The characters play a game,2) Secret Santa, 3) Exes to Lovers, and 4) Surprise kiss.
Summary: Murphy and Emori fall in love fast, and then talk themselves out of it. Years later, their paths will cross again, and they realize that their might be parts of their story that are yet to be written.
What a way to start the year (Rated T) [Bellarke]
Written by @bellarkeshoe for @bellamysgriffin. The four assigned tropes were 1) Law enforcement partners, 2) Character gets BADLY injured and they hide it somehow only to reveal later that they are mortally wounded, 3) Characters hugging after they’ve been through hell, and 4) Kissing in the snow.
Summary: It’s New Years Eve, and Bellamy and Clarke got stuck working.
It’s Alright, It’s Okay (Rated M) [Clurphy]
Written by @sailawaymayday for @wwjacksparrowd. The four assigned tropes were 1) Found Family, 2) Groundhog Day/timeloop, 3) Character gets shot/stabbed/BADLY injured and hides the wound somehow, only to accidentally (someone else touches them and their bleeding, they collapse, etc.) reveal later that they are mortally wounded, and 4) Hurt/Comfort.
Summary: Clarke makes it onto the Ring with the rest of Spacekru. What happens when New Years Eve keeps repeating itself? And what does Murphy have to do with it?
Dancing in Graveyards: An Arkadia Anthology (Rated T) [Gen Fic]
Written by @justbecauseyoubelievesomething for @kinetic-elaboration. The four assigned tropes were 1) Small town gothic, 2) Christmas Lights, 3) First snow, and 4) Sneaking someone in/out of your window.
Summary: Three small town gothic stories intertwine as old friends reunite and try to make the best out of their lives. Raven returns home after her foster father’s death and is pulled like a magnet to her enigmatic highschool sweetheart. Jasper seeks solace from a tragedy and desperately attempts to outrun the ghosts of the past. Bellamy battles his inner demons and prays not to tear himself and his loved ones apart in the process. And all of them come to realize that they belong together, even if the place they call home is shadowed by sorrow.
do or die, you’ll never make me (because the world will never take my heart) (Rated T) [Bellarke]
Written by @shen-gong-oops for @probably-voldemort. The four assigned tropes were 1) Fake dating, 2) Amnesia AU, 3) Enemies to Friends to Lovers, and 4) Superhero AU.
Summary: As the youngest member of the Guard and the daughter of the Guard former leader, there are high expectations set for Clarke. The Marketing and PR teams at Ark expecting her to be prim and proper during any conferences, while simultaneously performing their well-rehearsed fight choreography to a T.
But when four unknown supes challenge the juggernaut that is Ark Industries, Clarke wonders if herodom isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Merry Christmas, Lovebirds (Rated G) [Murven]
Written by @kinetic-elaboration for @shen-gong-oops. The four assigned tropes were 1) One character cautiously says “i’m going to kiss you now, okay?” or some variation of that, 2) Mutual pining, 3) A misunderstanding, and 4) Tattoos.
Summary: There’s never snow for Christmas on the beach, Murphy is a culinary genius, Raven has a boyfriend, and other presumed facts, too obvious to mention.
Once Upon Our Story (Rated G) [Bellarke]
Written by @andthelightbulbclicks for @bellamythology. The four assigned tropes were 1) break-up/make-up, 2) Did they or didn’t they, 3) Extremely biased flashbacks of the same event, and 4) Bookstore or library AU.
Summary: Bellamy returns with as much fanfare as one can imagine when driving a school bus decorated as Santa Claus through town, leaving Clarke shocked and all of their friends confused given he hasn’t been home in months.
(Or: Six months ago, Bellamy left Arkadia.
Six months ago, Clarke didn’t.
Six months ago, their friends knew the relationship ended, even came up with their own versions of what really happened. But the question that they all want to know for certain– is why?)
Dream A Little Dream of Me (Rated T) [Clurphy]
Written by @queenemori for @vmreed. The four assigned tropes were 1) One character has a child, 2) Protectiveness, 3) Only one bed, and 4) Soulmates.
Summary: It was just Murphy’s luck that right as he was starting to enjoy Earth, he had to leave. But he’d rather that than succumb to a fiery death wave. He and the other residents of the Ring remembered Clarke every year during their New Year’s Eve celebration. But even when they weren’t celebrating Clarke, Murphy couldn’t seem to get her off his mind. He wished his brain would stop playing tricks on him by making him think she was alive. Clarke was dead. Wasn’t she?
i don’t wanna burn out, so wont you please set me on fire again? (Rated M) [Murven]
Written by @kuklash for @sparklyfairymira. The four assigned tropes were 1) Protectiveness, 2) Exes and Lovers, 3) Small Town AU, and 4) Characters fall on each other and have a moment.
Summary: The wind nipped at Murphy’s nose as he stood in the doorway of the gas station on the edge of town. Work was slow, as it always was after sundown, especially in the mid-December cold, but someone had to make sure the good townsfolk of Arkadia could get their milk and gas after the small general store closed. All 800 of them. He watched the cars drive by throughout the day, recognizing each and everyone of them. Bellamy’s beat up truck he worked all highschool to afford, Clarke’s clean new sedan, even that jerk Finn’s loud ass motorcycle. He watched them all pass one by one, his old classmates returning home after another semester of college at the University of Polis. The only sign that time was passing at all.
The phone inside rang, breaking him out of his melancholy, at least for now.
“Great,” he thought, sarcastically. “A phone call 10 minutes before we close.”
He walked back inside and put on the most cheerful customer service voice he could muster.
“Dropship Gas, this is Murphy. How can I he-”
A familiar female voice cut him off, leaving him cold.
“Murphy? Thank god!”
It was his ex.
Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you (Rated M) [Bellarke]
Written by @sparklyfairymira for @captaindaddykru. The four assigned tropes were 1) Celebrity AU, 2) Meet Ugly, 3) Characters must share something, and 4) Characters aren’t together but are mistaken to be.
Summary: Bellamy Blake and Clarke Griffin are household names thanks to their music. They belong to the same label so they often work together on duets—even though they can’t stand one another. Their first meeting is disastrous and six years later they still can’t get along.
toward brighter days (Rated T) [Sea Mechanic]
Written by @reggieshamster for @/ashplana. The four assigned tropes were 1) Apocalyptic Log, 2) bed sharing, 3) road trip au, and 4) mythical creatures.
Summary: Dear Harper,
I am ridiculously out of it this morning. Last night, when we reached the campsite, Luna suggested we give Echo her own bedroll, since she gave hers up the night before.
Which meant Luna was sleeping with me.
Beside me.
Excerpts from Raven’s journal as she travels to Polis for the Winter Solstice Festival
three words, two hearts, one maybe (Rated G) [Bellarke]
Written by @bellamysgriffin for @bellarkeshoe. The four assigned tropes were 1) Youtuber AU, 2) best friend’s sibling, 3) frikdreina, and 4) miscommunication.
Summary: After an accident blinds Clarke, Octavia’s been encouraging her best friend to keep up with her artwork. In order to inspire her, she recruits the help of her older brother, Bellamy, who’s recently launched a new exhibition at his museum, to feature her work. Bellamy likes Clarke’s work, and he’s more than happy to help. But when she doesn’t show on the big day, he takes matters into his own hands. With an old video camera, he records people’s reactions to Clarke’s artwork so that she’ll know just how talented she is. But when he sends it to his sister, he doesn’t expect her to upload it to YouTube. And he definitely doesn’t expect to go viral.
Something Beautiful, Simple, and Bright (Rated T) [Clurphy]
Written by @wwjacksparrowd for @queenemori. The four assigned tropes were 1) Friends with Benefits AU, 2) Prank war, 3) characters are not together but are mistaken for a couple, and 4) Based on a Song.
Summary: Six months after Wonkru and Eligius manage to establish peace and divide Eden between themselves (with a little slice shaved off for Spacekru, of course), Clarke has a mission: plan a New Year’s Eve party for fifteen hundred people within three weeks.
Murphy’s mission? Stop her from burning out in the process. Oh, and if he could just get Monty to quit it with the freaking noisemakers, that would be great, too.
(…Okay, yeah, he’d also like to date Clarke for real instead of just sleeping with her. But that’s a pipe dream, right?)
put your faith in the devil and the deep blue sea (Rated M) [Clurphy]
Written by @probably-voldemort for @kuklash. The four assigned tropes were 1) Time Loop AU, 2) Characters fall on top of one another and have a “moment”, 3) Enemies to Lovers, and 4) Superhero AU.
Summary: Twenty years ago, when the clocks changed from 11:59pm on December 31st, 1999, to 12:00am on January 1st, 2000, the world ended, exactly as the doomsdayers had predicted. Now, there are only a few livable months left on Earth, and the privileged are evacuating for a life in space, abandoning the planet.
But not everyone has given up.
Clarke was only three when the world ended, and she’s spent most of her life in her mother’s lab. Now, as the last space ships are preparing to leave, her mother’s machine is finally ready, and Clarke and her mother are heading back in time to try to stop the apocalypse from happening in the first place.
An attack on the lab leads to Clarke heading back to 1995 on her own, and the past isn’t quite how Clarke’s vague memories from the beginning of her life paint it. Clarke soon discovers that not only did the machine do more than just send her back in time, but she wasn’t, in fact, sent back alone.
Will she be able to stop the apocalypse before the clock strikes midnight? Or are some parts of history unchangeable?
All I Want For Christmas (Rated T) [Memori]
Written by @thedefinitionofendgame for @the-most-beautiful-broom. The four assigned tropes were 1) Fake dating, 2) Joke kiss turned real kiss, 3) One character is sleeping and the other character is watching them totally in love, and 4) Blanket fort.
Summary: Tired of being single, Murphy decides to take matters into his own hands and get himself a girlfriend before the annual Christmas Day dinner with his friends. Having had bad luck in the past with girls - all twenty four of them - Murphy is determined to make the twenty-fifth, the “Christmas Day” number, his forever.
Of course, this is easier said than done. When his fellow coworker, Emori, seems to be having similar problems and suggests them being each other’s “fake dates” to their Christmas parties in December, Murphy jumps at the chance. Fake dating is better than being totally alone, right? It appears that way, at least until Murphy starts to catch feelings; the ones that make you question everything you think you know. As their “fake feelings” start to become more real, Murphy realizes that Emori’s the one he wants for Christmas. But she’s got walls up and even though his heart doesn’t stand a chance, Murphy’s determined to break them down and show her what falling in love really means, maybe with the help of a little December magic thrown in.
