Silver Dunes AU Intro

1972, after escaping and abandoning their former lives following an incident that claimed hundreds of others, three individuals choose to begin new ones under the names 'William Afton', his partner 'Henry Emily', and wife 'Clarissa Schmidt-Afton'. They settle down, decide to open up a family diner. Their happy ending, after everything they had been through. (It was supposed to be their fucking happy ending.)

But nothing good lasts for long. And the past will always come back to haunt you.

In the summer of 1977, much to the shock of her family and community, Clarissa takes a letter opener from her desk and drags it across her throat. Her cooling body is discovered not even five minutes later on the floor of her home office by her 4-year-old son, Michael.

This single action signifies the beginning of a series of events that will bring about an irreversible change to this world and its inhabitants, for better or for worse.

But for right now, all Michael Schmidt-Afton has to worry about is the apparent existence of ghosts, his missing father, and how those two things intersect.

I’ve been possessed. If anyone wants to know where Edgeworth is, he’s been watching kamen yaiba with the detective boys for 4 hours

Okay listen. When I decided to give squid Jean (squean) bite marks/scars last year I was just making it make sense that he lived with a pod of orcas who thought it was super fun to scare him and threaten him, I didn’t know tsc would come out and make that detail somehow 100x worse

Someone get this kid to Whalemack and Abby stat :( thank you Renee

okay a few more danyal al ghul au memes because i think they're funny to make. with bonus yaelokre danyal memes!

yaelokre! danyal 🤝 threes! danyal: being five years older than damian

yaelokre danyal comes from my oneshot right here. however, i would frankly recommend reading the version i put on ao3 because it's been edited and includes more content! shout out to my boy, he's got amnesia </3

Do i think that the LOA has technology in it? Absolutely I do. LED lights but in 3000k warm white instead of the jarring bright sterile white, if they've got glass windows they're those solar panel glass panes my college natural science building uses that detects sunlight position, which in term controls the lights, which in turn saves energy. Amber lights for outside, solar panels. Just. anything environmentally sound and friendly, they've got it, they use it.

Do i think they've got computers and tvs lying around for casual recreational use? ....that i'm not so sure about. For this au? I'm gonna say nooooottt really. That stuff is typically reserved for like, mission planning, debriefing, research, etc. Frankly danny probably does know how to use a computer, however i thought it was funny if he didn't. so the meme is staying in lmao.

If they're not training, they've probably like, got a greenhouse or two somewhere on base they can help with. The LoA's whole thing is balance, harmony, restoring the natural world with extreme environmentalism. All that jazz. Probably plenty of ponds, recreational areas outside, gardens, just, stuff to do that's not technology based. My most basic understanding is that these people are the world's deadliest hippies. They can't be training all the time, that's neither good for morale nor for their bodies, so when they're not training... they're off doing shit. If Ras has kept this thing running for thousands of years then it’s gotta be pretty lit enough that nobody’s revolted lmao.

In the soul mate au between Miko and Tarn, the incoming Cybertronians would think that Jack Darby is the biggest ho to ever ho.

Ratchet is dying because Jack's mannerisms and ways of affection do remind the medic of the halcyon days with Orion Pax, pre-Megatronus. (Mind you, Ratchet has rose-tinted glasses about those days and feels really nostalgic over Orion's quirks. Even if he had to bail the mech from jail several times and stop him from eating tampered fuel substances.) And he just wants his other colleagues and fellow Autobots to know the real Jack.

Unfortunately, Jack has a tendency to meet all the newcomers in various states of undress, aka without his armor, which is a very shameless state.

Ratchet first walked into a freshly cyberformed!Jack, coming out of the shower with only a towel around his waist because of the nasty amount of sludge in every inch of his frame. Even his armor needed a deep scrubbing. In parts.

Soundwave remet the guy in his swim trunks because he came from relaxing in a geyser.

The first time he met the Justice Division, he was stripped down to sweatpants while Miko was categorizing his opened chassis, including his spark chamber. Miko was practicing the new educational module from Soundwave and Ratchet, and Jack was the willing dummy since they were trying to nail down the differences between baseline Cybertronians and their hybrid status. So not just shameless, but in a highly provocative position as well. Miko and Jack were treated to the sight of stumped D.J.D. members with slaw jaws and choking noises.

So now, mecha are thinking that Jack and Miko have an "understanding." And Tarn's jealous over it.

______

Jack breathed as evenly as possible. Body still as Miko carefully traced his new organs, muttering Neocybex under her breath on what each part was called, both in Pit Kaonite and Iaconi medical. Her fingers were blunted, not her usual talons, as she skimmed the connections, musculature, protoform, and circuitry. Jack closed his optics, sinking into a light mediation, and only shivered as those fingers brushed over his new heart.

"How does this feel," Miko questioned as she coaxed the chamber to open. And he allowed it. All three of them had been together for lifetimes, and very little boundaries existed between them at this point.

"Weird," Jack replied as his spark quivered, white light blinding, shadows playing across Miko's curious face and the walls.

"Good weird? Bad weird? Spiritual possession weird? You have to give me something more descriptive." She said with exasperation, teeth glinting in the byplay between light and shadow.

"Dangerous weird." His words hitched, body twitching, vision clouding at the edges, and he forced down the sudden instinct to flee-FLEE into dark corners, to sink into the safety of the furniture shade.

Due to the uplinks between them, Miko immediately applied the medical overrides, and the painted diagnostic sigils flared to life across his limbs, and Jack went limp, tension cut from his body.

Miko frowned. The geared rings in her amber optics turned as she ran calculations, and whatever she was about to say was cut as the closet door opened.

Jack couldn't see them as he was sitting on the couch with his back towards them, but he picked up quite a crowd. All of the individuals choking on air. Wings twitching from the unknown signatures suddenly appearing in his space, and Miko lined her own over his, exuding calm-still-potential allies.

She huffed, amusement and annoyance warred in her field as she quickly pulled off the sigils with a fanciful twirl of her fingers, and they worked together to disconnect their systems from each other. Jack shut closed his chassis, and his innards dispersed once more, spark chamber hiding wherever it was. It was honestly far more difficult for him to drag that specific organ to the open air than his first attempts to blend his new metal frame into living trees. "This isn't what it looks like, old man."

Jack pulled over his shirt to cover his protoform, and turned around, dark and pink wings avoiding each other in familiarity, to see Ratchet running a servo down his face and an assortment of bewildered strangers staring at them through the portal. Even if the Decepticon badges weren't gleaming on a chassis, the tank with the mask shaped as the very Decepticon logo was a dead given away of their allegiance.

:: Soundwave does it better. He got the extra creep factor without the eye holes. :: Miko snorted through the private channel, crossing her arms as she leaned on the back of the couch, deceptively loose and uncaring.

:: Hey, don't knock down a perfectly good presentation. Eyes are windows to the soul, and eyes make others feel at ease. Soundwave gives no fucks about normalcy or social manners. ::

:: Soundwave does what better? :: Raf commented. :: And hard agree on that assessment. ::

:: We'll fill you in later. :: Jack replied as Miko simultaneously responded. :: We got fresh meat. ::

"So," Jack drawled, propping an elbow on the sofa back, supporting his head on that hand. "What brings this lot to our corner of the universe?"

I'm in love with the idea of a swap au now so I'll be posting about it, live with it

PLS IMAGINE A HERMES-EURYLOCHUS VERSION OF MY GOODBYE

I'M NOT GOOD AT CREATING LYRICS SO I CAN'T REWRITE MY GOODBYE TO FIT THEIR CHARACTERS BUT JUST TRY AND IMAGINE IT 😭 I would tweak irl

[jesncin]

Do fish-like/mermaid atlanteans exist in JL remix? (I'm asking because I'm a Lori Lemaris Liker, it's interating that she has 'passed' as human before and she and Clark are cute as a 'dated a little in college, are now pals' thing and I think It'd be neat in the 'remixverse)

Yes! I've personally long ago reimagined Atlanteans as looking more monstrously-fish like for my designs of Mera and her twin Hila (though I've made Hila way more butch'ed out now):

I like the idea of Arthur looking visibly mixed as someone more human-passing in Atlantean culture (though now that I'm free from the constraints of a school assignment, I'd make Atlanteans more fishy). I don't know how controversial it is to imagine Lori as a type of Atlantean, but I think that makes sense for now.

Is this fanfic friendly? I feel like an outlier.

I guess this is my sign it's time to throw together a FAQ post to link to lol.

Yes, every event for this blog is fanfic friendly :D

Though as I mentioned on my Ominous October post, for events that include multiple short stories, I encourage everyone to flex their creativity and take one of their planned short story fanfics, and at least *attempt* to turn one of them into something entirely original; rebuilding a character and story from the ground up to stand on its own two legs is no easy feat, and that is what makes it so fun!

It really gets your creative gears turning, to make an "au of an existing material" to be something entirely original, and you can be pleasantly surprised about the things you come up with!

As a few people say, its not just a matter of "filing the serial numbers off" -- you have to add in just as much *or more* as what you take out when you are turning a fanfiction into something that is original and completely divorced from its original source material / inspiration, and that is a hard, but very rewarding challenge!

Obviously, this is not a requirement (there's no hard requirements for any of the challenges, other than no cheating, including no using AI),

but if you would like an extra challenge for the short story events and you're planning on doing entirely fan-fiction, I highly recommend trying it out at least once, and seeing where it leads you--

you may find yourself pleasantly surprised by what you find down that rabbit hole!

Thinking about 19th century courting rules today. Specifically abt Edward Little asking Crozier before proposing making his suit to Jopson

Besides see, what else can Tom’s gogles do?

Tom is a Lieutenant General in the RA, but his real title is actually Army Director, which of course, is kept secret and only known to Tord.

Being RL’s spouse means Tom has to be prepared for the possibility that his husband could die at any time, leaving the army without its leader. As Army Director, he has access to everything that Tord has access to, his goggles is something of his own personal computer database besides being visual aid.

With the goggles, Tom is able to keep track of all their military bases, cameras at any RA base, the comms systems, remote weaponry, their defense systems, information of registered soldiers and threats, launch codes and others related, as well as general information that can be found online.

But use of this feature is timed and limited, if Tom uses it for too long it could cause mental stress and internal bleeding, he’s only able to access at maximum 2 command screens (e.g. He’ll take a look at cameras while running soldier info in the back.) And he never uses it much anyway unless Tord needs some help.

More often than not, he uses the comm system command for daily announcements and reminders at RA HQ.

Idk if yall caught it but in some RL Tord asks in the past, there would be a tag saying smth like: ‘Reminder/Message from the Office of the Red Leader: Please do not report to HQ if you took part in the most recent rebellion ^^ Goodbye, traitor.’ - Thats Tom. He uses a voice mod to hide his identity when he does this announcement, but most everyone in RA knows that whoever is making this announcement is RL’s rumored failsafe in case of his demise.

And that’s scary, cause that voice is associated with all their remote weaponry.

Of course, this feature wasn’t added until after Tord realized how serious he was about Tom and married him. At the start, it was mostly just visual aid and comm systems.

Plus, this was also for his safety, if ever there came a time the army would turn on them, or worse, on Tom alone due to Tord’s death, he can use it to defend himself with the full might of RA’s resources if need be. Same goes if their enemies decide to take advantage of Tord's untimely absence, Tom gets full control of the RA and its resources.

thinking about motorcity dandelions again

Any time characters I like exist in a domestic setting I'm legally required to make a band au for them. So here are my mp100 band au thoughts (under the cut):

Teru: trumpet player 100%. This kid is loud and obnoxious and needs to be the center of attention. He's also incredibly skilled and rightfully confident.

Shou: percussionist. Do I even have to explain myself. I know my own kind when I see them. Mostly plays set, but once in a while will end up on a mallet instrument like marimba and his whole demeanor changes.

Ritsu: pianist. Gifted kid with a melow personality, but also a stubborn perfectionist. Fixates really hard on a song until he can play it perfectly. Burns himself out a lot. Notorious for wanting to play the most difficult songs and the rest of the group is like WHY. Will not rest until he can play flight of the bumblebee.

Mob: they just give him a triangle and whenever Reigen points at him he plays. Doesn't know how to read sheet music but he's trying. If he COULD actually play an instrument... I think it would be tuba. Training with the body improvement club helps w his stamina/lung capacity. Joined the band to get closer to Tsubomi.

Reigen: conductor. Look at that man's hands go. He was made for this.

Serizawa: flute. Reigen convinces him to join, since he's redoing his education, but all the students who don't know him are like why is this random man here. He's incredibly shy, quiet, and nervous at first, but his confidence builds over time. When he finally agrees to play a solo he blows everyone away.

Tsubomi: first chair saxophone, but she's not annoying about it lmao. Most of the sax players are stereotypically social and chatty, but she's quiet and reserved. Everyone tries to talk her into auditioning for solos, but she turns them down most of the time.

Tome: trombone. You know she's hitting people with the slide and making fart noises with it constantly. Sits next to Mob when he plays tuba.

Dimple: hangs around to try and fuck with Reigen's tempo, and also sometimes flips pages for Mob and answers questions for him when he can. Will also turn the metronome on at full blast. I think it would be funny if he possessed someone once and did like, a really dramatic opera solo, akin to the frog from over the garden wall.
