yknow i have a lot of aus in my brain but the one currently spinning in my lobes is a stardust au. like. honestly it really works both ways like. i feel like thematically it's probably more appropriate for ted to be the star, changing trent's life forever, but my first thought was like. michelle asks ted to bring her a star, because he's always trying so hard to please her and she needs space and he will literally pluck a star from the sky if it means making her happy--only instead he finds a man where that star fell (he's beautiful, but ted tries not to notice) who's rather disgruntled with being on the ground, suddenly. and like. idk man i'd have to watch the movie again to really get into this au either way but i am just spinning it. slowly rotating it.

#like i appreciate that star!ted probably makes more sense but i just have this like #really really strong mental image of trent half on the ground #hair in his face and disheveled and in a crater and so far from home so alone. and he's just. glowing. shining #anyway there'd be a lot of logistics to work out--presumably michelle and ted are already divorced or can somehow work that out BEFORE #the whole burgeoning romance #and like. how do the kids fit in? i can definitely make henry fit but would crimmlet 😭#this is stupid probably but i just have the image of like when theyre with teh sky pirates #trent--a STAR--coming across a little stowaway #and yes that whole montage of like. swordfighting + dancing + bonding with the pirates but also trent. accidentally acquires. a daughter!#a whole daughter. that's an entire child #but like. this is beginning to really skew from the actual plot of stardust but that's okay i'm going off vibes #so like. trent is falling in love (something something star falling from the sky?) and he knows that ted is tryin gto bring him back #to the person he really loves #that he's a catalyst for ted's happiness but not the cause #and he expects ted to let him down gently #and like. he imagines a million ways it'll go and in the best ones ted still worries about him and wants to be his friend #and trent tells him not to worry because he doesn't want to go back to the sky anymore. he has a little girl to look after.#so they can still be friends. (and trent's okay with that! really!)#never in a million years does he think ted will choose him #also from michelle's pov this has got to be wild. you tell your ex husband you'll consider trying again if he brings her a star #bc that's insane but it'll get him off your back for a while #and then he comes back with some guy with fabulous hair and is like #good news! i found the star. bad--or. weird? weird news! i'm in love with him.#like. alright. that's one way to secure the divorce. cool.#oh so henry has a sister now? interesting. cool. cool cool cool. hey ted remember our therapi #like ted isnt actually trying to get michelle back you see hes trying to get NORMALCY back #his family with henry his happiness etc #and trent and co (THE PIRATES ARE THE PLAYERS ARENT THEY DKFJNFK) help him realize he cant go back #but he can go forward #tvtcau
