Do the kids have to go to The Human Realm in Witch Switch? Even The Owl Crew has admitted that they only went that route out of necessity because of the shortening, which obviously doesn't apply to you and your AU.

Maybe Caleb could end up in The Demon Realm instead? He knows that Evelyn is a Witch, right? Thanks To Them did reveal that Canon!Caleb and Evelyn left encrypted notes for each other around Gravesfield, maybe you could recycle that idea into being more prominent in Witch Switch?

Like say, Evelyn still left a vile of Titan's Blood in the Old Gravesfield cemetery. She also left behind a coded map to it in the Wittebane Brothers house.

In Witch Switch, she did that as an emergency backup in the event she ever lost possession of The Portal Door in The Human Realm, so she could get home.

Or! Alternatively, she did it in the hope that Caleb would eventually work things out if she were ever left stranded in The Demon Realm because The Portal Door was damaged or something.

Either way, the end result is the same. Caleb finds rebus, Caleb decodes rebus, rebus leads Caleb to Titan's Blood, Titan's Blood allows Caleb to travel to The Demon Realm... just in time to reunite with his baby brother and all of his new friends. Lol.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Caleb in Witch Switch does NOT as of currently know that Evelyn is a witch (which we are planned to explain in part 2. Oops.). He finds out through Phillip's whole situation. So having Evelyn leave stuff for HIM is unlikely. An emergency stash for her is definitely an option, though, and one I can use, since Eda DEFINITELY wasn't leaving stashes of titan's blood for a human lover.

Idk, it IS an AU, so I'm not limited to canon, but it is a SWAP au, which feels like it needs a closer ratio. I think most of the divergence I'm planning (besides the obvious swap) falls more along the lines of Luzura and the Collector being on more even footing and less evil (on Luz's part) and stuff like that. And, sure, maybe the human realm plot WAS due to the shortening, but I still... don't know what the alternative would have looked like. So I wouldn't know what to replace it with, you know? I'm not trying to rewrite the owl house entirely, it's a fun swap au that I'm using to practice drawing.

Also, I think I figured out a reason for Luz building the door, so. Don't worry about it, we got it.
