VAT7K MODERN AU???

yong and hugo are adopted siblings of donella while cyrus is her biological son being in his mid 20s, hugo around 17-18, and I decided to lower yongs cuz i can so he’s around 8 years old

[theatricalmage]

The brainrot took over and so here's a vat7k hadestown au!! Don't know if I'll develop it fully but I liked designing it at least!

More info under the cut:

- Varian, the Coronan royal alchemist, tasks himself with deciphering an incantation capable of bringing the world back into tune. Times are tough, and the royal family + Quirin are doing their best to cope with the meagre crop yields and desolate weather (Corona not really being the sunshine kingdom - hasn't been for a while). He wants to help and do good and I think he'd be a good Orpheus.

- Hugo, having moved about from place to place, still has his interest in alchemy and does what he can to get by. He plans on temporarily staying in Corona before looting, but he encounters a certain like-minded scientist at the Snuggly Duckling. I think him being selfish works especially well in Eurydice's role, having a more pessimistic view of the world. It also works with how he gets drawn to Donella's offer of working for her later on, leading him to his death.

- Ulla as Persephone! I was initially stuck on whether to have Rapunzel (and either Eugene/Cass) as her (and Hades) but I was drawn to the connection that Hugo has to Donella and the Donella/Ulla relationship in vat7k just works too well. In this case, Ulla won't be Varian's mother. She's still gonna be somewhat of an inspiration to him though, being the previous Coronan royal alchemist and for her intelligence. For half the year, she'll return to Corona with food, drinks, and alchemical compounds/inventions, bringing Spring and Summer to the world, if only for a bit.

- Donella would be such an interesting Hades, losing sight of her love for Ulla, heart filled with fear and hurt, leading to bitterness and cruelty. Ingvarr being Hadestown and how by being the esteemed Ingvarrian engineer, she'd be in charge of major technological advances across the kingdoms and so would wield a significant amount of power (like how Hades is literally the ruler of the underworld). Ingvarr essentially being a near death sentence for its workers while also displaying its technological prowess, all still shrouded in mystery and corruption - a place so otherworldly compared to the rest of the kingdoms.

I didn't want to modify the outfits too much nor the personalities,, if anything I imagine the general plot beats being the same as the original musical/story but with slight differences that'd you get inherently as a result of these characters. I wouldn't want it to be the case where it's just the show but the names are changed. I'd want this to still make reasonable sense in this AU, with the actions being understandable for this particular cast of characters.

For Hermes, I ended up picking Xavier, as he's most knowledgeable of old legends and stories, which would work in reference to the Hades and Persephone myth (and so Donella and Ulla)! He'd act as a mentor figure for V, someone who can guide him in uncovering the forgotten incantation. Quirin would still be the good supportive dad he is (even if he doesn't fully understand his son's project).

Last but not least, the fates!! often lurking in the background, I'm still a bit stuck on who it could be? I'm tempted to have it be Raps, Cass, and Nuru as they've had celestial connections at some point (and ya know how stars can represent fate), but I also love the freckled siblings dynamic so much. Also Team Radical... Maybe Raps and Cass can be their normal selves but their Sundrop/Moonstone counterparts are the manifested physical forms of the fates? They wouldn't be visible to the characters though, just voices in the wind.

Anyways yeah!! Those are my thoughts. Do let me know if you've got any cool ideas or questions. I'm really combining my interests at full force and there's nothing anyone, not even myself, can do about it quite frankly. 😮‍💨

HUGO IS A BAD KISSER

-------

He can give good simple smooches, but anything less chaste is just a mess. Varian is surprised the first time they make out once they're a couple because Hugo goes full open mouth and shoves his tongue in willy nilly. It's...an experience. The first time, he figures it's a fluke or that he or Hugo were just nervous about it.

When it happens the second time though, Varian pulls away, holding Hugo's face to stop him from continuing.

"Hugo, I got to tell you something," he says. "But I don't want to hurt your feelings."

"Please, Goggles," Hugo says while rolling his eyes. "You know I got tough skin. I can handle whatever you have to say-"

"You suck at kissing."

"I WHAT?!"

Hugo is offended and argues with Varian that he is a good kisser, becoming defensive.

"And what would you know about kissing? " Hugo asks accusingly, annoying Varian. "I bet you've never made out with anyone before me."

"Have you ever made out with anyone before me?" Varian responds, both dodging Hugo's question and curious if the blonde has subjected any other poor soul to a slobber fest.

"That doesn't matter, " Hugo veers. "Not when I know all the kissing techniques."

"Kissing techniques?? Did you learn them from a dog??"

At some point in their bickering, Varian notices how embarrassed Hugo looks. His boyfriend is looking away from him, arms crossed and ears burning red. Varian takes a moment to de-escalate the situation.

"Look, I love how eager and passionate you are," Varian confesses. "But those "kissing techniques" don't work for me."

Varian gently places a hand on Hugo's face to turn it back to look at him.

"That doesn't mean I don't want to keep kissing you."

Assured by Varian's words, the edge of Hugo's lips curve upwards, giving him an apologetic smile. Hugo takes a deep breath and uncrosses his arms.

"So what do we do now?"

Varian ponders for a moment before giving his boyfriend a mischievous look.

"I suppose we find out what kissing techniques do work for me," Varian answers, pulling Hugo closer. "This time, I'm taking the lead, so follow what I do. Okay?"

"And if I'm bad at taking orders?" Hugo challenges.

"Then we just keep practicing."
