PART TWO

Location Swap AU - It Lives Anthology

@ila-appreciationweek

Pretty late but this is for day 7 - Wildcard.

I recently got a case of a brain rot for an AU for the It Lives Anthology. Couldn’t resist writing it down even though it’s not in fic form so here we are.

I’d call it...

The Location Swap AU

Yeah it’s a lame name but it describes what the AU is about the best.

Basically, the Pine Springs crew and the Westchester childhood friends swap backstories and locations where their stories take place. That’s about it but I do have several ideas for how things would be different here. Any suggestions are appreciated.

.~.

Let’s start with the crew from Pine Springs.

- Harper and Elliot are still half-siblings here. I may make Marie and Todd live in this AU or I could have them dead before the story begins and have Arthur be their guardian, though the former option is more like how the original story of ILITW plays out, with the parents overseas and unable to interfere.

- Kyle/one of Danni's cousins would take Jane’s place as the friend who got killed. I haven’t decided on which one to choose yet since whoever I choose will be the main motivation for betrayal for one of the girls. Danni was considered since she can betray the group out of love for her family if her nerve is too low, and Imogen is considered to sort of parallel her and Noah. (They lose someone important to them, though one of them keeps a cool head while the other goes off the deep end)

- Tom and Andy are still childhood friends. Andy just never met the other friends here until he moves to Pine Springs.

- I’ve had thoughts of having Josephine and Redfield switch places here though it would clash with canon and the timeline quite a lot. So it’s kinda undecided on what the spirit the gang encounters when they were kids here so let’s just call it the spirit.

- Robbie could be like Connor in ILITW or become apart of the main squad with a nerve score. Haven’t decided yet.

- No idea how Elliot can be fitted into the story, but I do imagine he would try to support Harper and possibly ends up in a coma and possessed.

- I have no idea whether or not I would want the bully trio (Britney, Cody and Jocelyn) to be switched. In the end, I decided no. But I do think Britney needs to be replaced or something since Lily’s not here.

- The cultists from the Society would get switched here. Kelley takes Bhatt’s place for example, and Imogen’s parents will swap with Noah and Jane’s mother.

.~.

As for the Westchester childhood friends...

- Mayor Green’s role here would probably be like Astrid’s. The leader of the Society keeping things under wraps and has been torturing a soul for years now. She, like Astrid, still cares for her children and gives her life to protect Stacy when she’s about to be killed.

- Connor would be like Elliot here, since Devon doesn’t have any siblings that can be used in his place. The lake ghost would try and use him against Mayor Green, but he gets dragged below the dam instead. In turn, any scene that has Harper trying to contact or worrying over Elliot will be replaced by Stacy and her worrying over Connor’s safety.

- Noah and Jane is exactly like Imogen and Kyle. Jane dies from the lake ghost and Noah has to accept that fact, though he would probably have it worse than Imogen since he grew up with Jane from the moment they were born. Like Imogen, he loses nerve more easily than the rest of the group.

- Group nerve is increased 800 since you know, more people here. In exchange, there will be more scenes and opportunities to boost nerve for everyone. Plus probably lower nerve check thresholds.

- Who gets tempted with an offer, I have no idea. I narrowed down the candidates to Stacy and Noah but I’m still unsure.

- Bhatt would probably remain as a professor here but her role would be like Kelley. She helps Lucas from his issues from his parents and taught him that he deserves more than them, essentially acting like a mother figure to him.

- Sheriff Cunningham is quite a challenge to figure out. I have no idea what he should be, clueless about everything or be apart of the Society? Though I probably lean more into having him be apart of them for more drama and angst and stuff.

- I decided that for the fight on the boat in chapters 11 and 12, you would make choices that would determine who remains on the boat and who gets thrown off. No matter what, at least three or four people which includes Devon must be remaining on the boat until chapter 12.

- Though if I do have to default who gets thrown off and who gets to stay, I would have Dan and Lily get thrown off, whoever else gets thrown overboard will depend on who your love interest is. (Ex: Ava is your LI, that would result in Lucas and Andy getting thrown into the water. Stacy is the only one immune to this, even if she is tossed into the water, her mother would probably try and find her, in which case all the other LIs gets dunked into the sea.)

- The chapters would probably be longer and have more scenes in order to give players more time to build up nerve.

- I have two solutions to the collectibles thing. The first is to give everyone an item and a weapon tailored to them, the second is to only give four people weapons and four people items. No idea which is better but if the first one is chosen, then some weapons and items will be free.

- Soooooo, the Arthur thing huh...decided that Cid would be the best alternative. I have no idea why, it just makes sense to me since Devon doesn’t really know anyone else in the family. So eh. Best I can come up with is: parents get killed, Cid adopts Devon, Devon keeps last name and they move to Pine Springs.

- If I were to have Redfield take Josephine’s place here, he and Cid would be friends until the ‘betrayal’ thingy.

connor and jocelyn drop by pine springs to recruit the vances (but since the vances are siblings they’re also insufferable)

@it-lives-week

 It lives within . Idea for It lives 3 | moodboard

A new gang. A few well-known faces. A castle where many answers await. A threat that lives inside its walls. And within them.

Chapter Reviews: January 28-February 2, 2019

Desire & Decorum Chapter 7:

The engagement ball was fun. Usurping Duke Richards's position as the center of attention was satisfying and made me feel powerful. Honestly, I felt like a player at social events, and that was thrilling.

Gideon Payne finally shows up, eh? Gotta keep an eye for such instigators of chaos. As the mastermind behind the Bristol Riots, he's sure to stir up trouble once again.

It's about time Dominique realized how much of a monster Duke Richards is and cancel her granddaughter's engagement. I feared that this engagement business will last for the entire book, but at least the story's pacing is better than I though. Now all that matters is to get engaged to Prince Hamid and expose Richards's horrible nature to everyone.

America's Most Eligible Chapter 3:

Well, that was interesting. Turns out Vince is bad behind the scenes after all. Being a pain to others, up to and including misgendering Wrenn, is just downright rude and unacceptable. Even more so when he sabotaged the mechanical bull to injure Adam.

As for the elimination, that was an easy choice. I eliminated Heath because I find his behavior and pranks immature. Not to mention that I quite like Eden for her level-headedness.

Speaking of level-headedness, I've come to respect Slater for calling Ivy out for her rudeness towards the MC. That was much appreciated.

So the twist is that the contestants are paired and eliminations come in pairs? That's a curveball. Even more so when I'm paired with Vince. I still hope to steal time with Adam, Derek, and hopefully Slater while teaming up with Bianca and Mackenzie as well.

It Lives Beneath Chapter 17:

The reunion with the love interests, Elliot, and Robbie is sweet and relaxing. I enjoy seeing everyone doing their best in their endeavors regardless of the events that have happened. I'm so proud of all of them: Tom for continuing his studies, Imogen (bless her) for donating her stuff for reconstruction efforts, Parker maintaining law and order as the new police chief, and Danni getting a job (why does it have to be ClickIt? :( ) that pays well.

As for who I chose to mourn, I picked Vincent and Astrid Wescott. Sure they're horrible people who caused the mess in Pine Springs, but there's no denying that they still have a bit of humanity in them, such as Vincent telling Imogen to run to safety when the monsters attacked at the dam and Astrid getting angry at Josephine for killing Vincent and taking a killing blow meant for Imogen. For Chief Kelley, I feel like I don't know much about him even though he saved Parker from a life of crime and being a murderous cultist at the same time. As for Richard, he's devoid of redeeming qualities, just like Brian Crandall and Tommy Walsh.

Great, Dick the Warlock's alive and just ambushes me just as I was enjoying things. Fortunately, I escaped and killed him. After all, he's devoid of redeeming qualities.

The bonus scene with Connor and ILITW!MC recruiting Jocelyn looks interesting and something I'd do while negotiating with her. I mean, I get that there are people who still hate her for what she did, but I also find it extremely stupid to ignore any dimensionality in her. For example, her ability to set her priorities straight by buying more time to escape from the vine creatures shows that she's not supposed to be fully evil. Not to mention that judging characters by "type" is stupid because doing so ignores the variations in every individual. As for her as a love interest for the third protagonist, it depends. Said protagonist shouldn't be someone she bullied in the past because she still remains her prickly self from what I've seen.

As for Jocelyn as a love interest in the third book, I'm down for that as long as she gets a well-written redemption arc like Violet's and is portrayed as genuinely complex like Becca and Victoria and hopefully nothing like Nick Peralta.

Regarding It Lives Beneath, I enjoy it immensely and think its just as good as It Lives in the Woods. There are some pros (building up nerve from scratch, a deliciously entertaining cult) and cons (not a lot of horror factors, anticlimactic showdown) that balance each other out. Suffice to say I'm glad the diamonds I've spent on this book are a good investment. I hope the third It Lives book will be awesome.

Ride or Die Chapter 3:

Another chapter that reinforces my belief that Logan should've been the protagonist instead of Ellie. Alright, I get that this story succeeds in catering to its target audience, but it's still no excuse to screw creativity. I mean, where's the potential for gray morality from Logan's perspective? He mentioned his disdain for the rich, which would've made the story way better, in my opinion.

Ingrid continues to be cardboard. She's just a popular academic rival, and there's nothing special about her.

I like Ximena. She feels like a breath of fresh air along with Darius and the dad. Here's hoping she and Mona will just ditch Mercy Park Crew as I leave them at the mercy of the cops. Or better yet, pair Logan and Colt together.

I loved this scene, the best is the devon background laughing at everything.

thank u !! i :’) have to correct you and say that’s actually jocelyn who is laughing BUT u have given me the opportunity to say why i like the idea of jocelyn being part of my it lives 3 gang . i just think it would make the dynamics between the team (who in my head, is elliot, robbie, andy, devon, tom, harper, connor and jocelyn) much more tense ! i’m pretty sure tom+andy+devon would be largely antagonistic towards her for a while

i figure she has to be there bc she’s integral to solving the plot, so the westchester gang kind of have to grit their teeth and bear it. regardless of jocelyn being genuinely remorseful of her behavior, i can see something like her approaching devon for a high five, only for devon to flinch and back away out of habit. scenarios like this where jocelyn HAS to face how she treated devon all throughout high school etc. and change her ways has got me so interested !!!
