#also grimmale does indeed have the capacity for an oujo-sama laugh

Okay but this is literally how the Reaper dynamic is in SoulBond. Altair - Ciel William - Sebastian Michaelis Rosaka - Mey Rin Luxine - Finnian Soulsmith -Baldroy Grimmale - Tanaka (Additionally, Guido could also technically be the Snake of the bunch, but I don't actually have much of a comparison point between the two like the others.)

Okay but imagine an au centred around the grim reapers. Undertaker is in a position to similar to how he is in the anime, being on relatively good terms with the others and just retired. It’s centred around the reapers, but in a way paralleling the Phantomhive servants (Grelle - Mey Rin, Will - Bard, Ron - Finny) and then it’s just the Undertaker as Tanaka. Same “hoho” and everything.
