TPM AU Idea I Just Had (Maybe To Be Expanded On In The Future)

Obi-Wan feels his world shatter the moment Yoda’s words fully sink in.

“Offered to train young Skywalker, Master Koth has. Feel it is for the best I do. Agree with me, the ten other Council members do.”

He wants to say something, anything, to object to this development, but Obi-Wan knows Yoda is right. Master Koth is the better choice.

In this passage, a pair of princesses pal around peacefully

Btw, we're on chapter 5/10.

We're halfway there!

[theneverfadinglands]

The chapter 1 is out, enjoy! (Glossary of terms can be reviewed in the end notes)

This is the first work of the Lament for the Fallen series. It is a crossover between Silmarillion, Lord of the Rings and Shadowhunter Chronicles. The Shadowhunter Chronicles were revised and rewritten. I tried to make as small changes as was possible to the a tual plot of the books and characters, yet I added much worldbuilding and cultural background. I think it is safe to say, it is Alternate Universe - Canon divergence. I think you can treat it as an alternative world, much alike Thule.

This particular story follows two plot lines. The first one tell the tale of Maglor and his travel to the sea of Ringil. The other one follows the story of Arlette Starkweather and María Francisca Rosales-Cartageno, at that time 17-year olds Academy students, who were tasked to manage the inventory check of East European Conclave during the summer of 2012, after Clave went into exile. It occured to me, such an operation would have profound consequences regarding logistics and stupplies...

****

[Far Southern rainforests of Ringil, Third Age]

Maglor has been wandering on the seashores of Arda for many ages, stray away to the hidden depths of great ancient forest and the sea of Ringil that sings music far older then him. He hunts a millipede, sings a ballad, make a new little friend and thinks about Elrond and Elros again. When the Earth starts to shake, he accidentally tangle himself in a precarious situation regarding ancient Avarin rituals and many snakes..

[One hot summer in Poland]

Far away, in different time and place, a seventeen years old girl pays a steep price to learn a lesson about love, loyalty and growing up. The childhood is lost in the passion and fire of one summer night. The parabatai, Arlette Starkweather and Francisca Cartageno, have to devise a cunning plan to deal with the consequences and the threat of a life crippling debt.

The Men of Tykev told him about the Elves who lived in these lands. He did not make out a lot about them from the confusing thoughts of the people, but he understood they were maleficent children thieves, snake whisperers. Now he saw one of them with his naked eye. Maglor had seen the images of Avari carrying the infants away in the memories of Tykev. He could not summon much contempt, for he was a thief of children as well, but he had wondered about their reasons.

Was this child one of the stolen babes of Men?

****

"What demons see? Are they still capable of perceiving the light as we do? Do demons see colors?"

"Well, I think it depends on the demon," said Francisca as she started to unpack the crate, waiting for the reaction of her parabatai. Who continued without a pause.

HELLO???? PRO-HERO TOUYA???? I’M FOLDING SO BAD—?????

[ms-dead-inside]

Okay, but hear me out:

Murder baby Damian, but for whatever reason, his first attempt at Tim's life is put on pause, so they never have that interaction. Instead, before Damian can come up with a new plan, Tim (who's kinda excited he now isn't the baby of the family) offers to train him in detective work for when Damian finally gets the mantle of 'Robin' as a way to bond with him.

"Why train your enemy, Drake?"

"We're brothers, not enemies. Besides, Robin has always been a mantle to pass down. I'm certainly not going to keep it in my twenties or thirties. And other than Bruce, I'm the best detective in the family."

"Very well, Drake, I shall accept your tutelage for the time being."

Damian accepts, of course. Not only can he study Drake for his weaknesses, he will also improve his own skill set. It's worth the wait for Robin. By the time Damian's done, there will be no doubt that he is the superior bat.

Unfortunately, he actually grows fond of Timothy. While he will inevitably get close with Richard, just like in canon, Timothy is a breath of fresh air for when Richard is being too overbearing, especially when it comes to things like 'socializing,' and 'making friends.'

When his father dies, and Timothy declared him actually lost to time, Richard doesn't believe him, can't believe him, because the hope is too painful. Timothy still gives Damian Robin, because, "I'm barely holding on as Batman as it is. I can't handle Robin being gone for potentially months at a time, halfway around the world."

During his partnership with Richard, truly becoming his brother-son, Richard introduces the ideas of pets to him. Damian loves animals, and having and taking care of a creature that could potentially survive on its own, but will have a much better quality of life under his care, speaks to him. He has Alfred and Titus and about half a dozen other stray animals that usually stay for about a week while he nurses them to health at any given moment, but he feels like he should officially have another pet.

Que the whole thing with his grandfather, and Timothy getting kicked out of the top of a skyscraper. He comes home with proof, and the Justice League brings his father home. And as Dick basically refuses to let anyone leave the mansion for the foreseeable future, Damian realizes several facts:

1.) Timothy is a human, and humans are animals.

2.) While Timothy has somehow survived until now, he wouldn't recognize self-care if it slapped him in the face.

3.) Timothy's quality of life will improve if someone is taking care of him because he cannot be trusted to do it for himself. (Is it a coincidence that he loses organs when he is away from the family? Damian thinks not.)

4.) Damian has gotten good at taking care of animals.

Ergo, Timothy is now Damian's pet. Tim doesn't know what to do and simply humors him. Besides, it's nice when someone actually bothers to give him a plate of foods that he likes when he gets hyper focused on work and forgets to eat. That, and while he is exasperated every time Damian tranqs him, those are still the best sleeps of his life.

Jason finds it hilarious. Damian doesn't understand Richard or his father's reactions.

"Damian, Tim can take care of himself."

"Barely. Father, now that I am in charge of his sleep schedule, there aren't as many dark circles under his eyes. Even Alfred has commented that Timothy consumes less caffeine."

"Damian, he can't be your pet."

"Why not?"

"Tim's your brother; he's family."

"So are you saying that Alfred and Titus aren't family?"

Prompt

Jason’s return to Gotham as the crime lord Red Hood is significantly hampered when he saves two kids from being trafficked and suddenly finds himself nagging the two to eat their vegetables and do homework on time and, dear lord, your names are Freeman and… Batson? Yeah that’s it, Jason is not waiting this one out until they’re both suddenly dressed in traffic light colors and swinging around the city with an overgrown furry.

Freddy and Billy are a bit confused by the flash adoption via menacing Gotham guy, but it certainly helps that he’s not threatening to send them into the system and that he cooks them meals every day . And also “Billy, I think he might be the new vigilante! That is so cool!” “… do you mean the new crime lord?” “Same thing! Isn’t the helmet awesome!?”

Batman and Robin are�� not sure what to make of the new crime lord that, on one hand, keeps antagonizing them to no end, and on the other hand was recently spotted at a meeting with his lieutenants where two masked kids burst into the room to scream about the kitchen being on fire and pointing at each other yelling “It’s all his fault!”

A Pretty Cool AU Concept I Have In Mind:

The Dark Flour War never happened, and the Ancients spend a hundred more years letting their kingdoms flourish and keeping Earthbread as prosperous as ever. Thanks to their efforts, they decide to establish some kind of alliance/union dedicated to improving an area of cookiekind they most excel in (e.g. Dark Cacao in combat and White Lily in knowledge) and are given the opportunity to visit each other and enlighten on whatever problems they have. You know, the typical ancient shenanigans but on a much grander scale!

Hoooowever, this doesn't entirely mean their world is free of conflict. On the other hand, the St. Pastry Order and dark magic practitioners (that cake monsters happen to be apart of) manage to set aside their differences and join together to form a bigger, more dangerous underground organization with the intention of changing cookiekind in a similar vain to Dark Enchantress's motives and the Order's original belief to "walk with the truth in mind", whatever that means. Their conflict with the Ancients will hold much more nuance since their beliefs clash with one another, not to mention the Order being too good of a group to just be... ignored by the canon for some reason... (devsisters if I catch your hands--)

Oh and of course, the Beasts will find a way to meddle with these antics and play a much bigger part in the story than we realize.

There's also gonna be lore elements from Witch's Castle too! The story of the Witch of Light and the "First" cookies are just too intriguing and I don't really see them being integrated in fan stories (from what I've seen, at least) so why not sprinkle them here as well?

A late piece for AU-gust 2024's Day 1 "Canon Divergence." A late piece because I really wanted to come up with something for that day and I just could not come up with anything until I had the brilliant idea to genderbend the blorbo of our shows.

Her hair is a mess because she's Hiccup and she just spend some time either flying or wrestling with Toothless, probably.

Is she looking guilty? Worried? Did she get caught with her dragon? Perhaps!
