#dark fialkov au

[akozuheiwa]

📖📚📓📜👀👀👀

I have like over 80 AUs so I'm gonna tell you about FOUR OF THEM since you sent four emojis, I'm sorry and it's under the cut cause it got long

Fanfic Idea Ask

1: Arthurian Aliens AU: Set in wiz-fic verse aka my versions of Arthuriana, this AU shifts the timeline back to the time of Camelot. Aja and Krel, along with Varvatos and Luug, are dropped right into the forest surrounding Camelot, where they reunite with their long-lost great-aunt Iros (an OC I reference in wiz-fic), become friends with Crown Princess Anna and Prince Mordred, and get sucked righ into the behind-the-scenes war and betrayal that will eventually lead to Arthur's death (or will it?).

2: Dark Fialkov AU: After his wife falls in battle, King Fialkov of Akiridion-5 becomes a ruthless leader and conqueror of planets, so that none will be able to hurt his family again. He detests and squashes his daughter's love of combat and nourishes his son technological skills. So Krel works with Morando in order to create deadly tech for Akiridion-5, while Aja is heavily disillusioned with life on Akiridion-5 and her father as king.

3: Fae and Prince AU: In this AU, Aja and Krel are the princess and prince of the fae kingdom, and Steve and Seamus are the princes of the human kingdom. The humans and fae don't get along, neither trusts the other as far as they can throw them. Douxie is a changeling child, which basically means the fae found him in the forest, abandoned, and adopted him. Toby is the grandson of Duchess Domzalski so he's a noble, but his best friend is palace chef apprentice Jim. Jim is already dating Steve in secret at the beginning. Krel and Seamus meet in the forest and become friends, and eventually Seamus brings Steve and Jim and Krel brings Aja. The endgame is Space Camp and Stajim.

4: Internship AU: Seamus's internship at "space camp" is ACTUALLY a confidential internship with Area-49b. So Seamus very quickly finds out that Aja and Krel are aliens and very quickly switches sides to help them when he realises, oh, fuck, Kubritz thinks two teenagers are evil and she wants to experiment on them and I gotta save them. I actually have some of this written!

Anyway, hope you enjoyed this long-ass post of me rambling about AUs! Thanks for the ask!!!

Idea: Moraja hades and persephone au

i started drawing it this way as a joke and then i slipped and had an entire au idea so whoops

some notes about the au:

akiridion-5 is the graveyard/prison of the empire, where prisoners of broken and conquered worlds are sent in one form or another

it’s very creepy and dark, the natural blue light of akiridion somehow more sinister and eerie on a-5 than anywhere else in the empire

it’s called the underworld of course, and it definitely fits the bill

aja has recently been elevated to acting regent of a-5, since fialkov and coranda were disintegrated and put into the prison by morando for ~*~political reasons~*~

morando is the prized jewel of akiridion prime’s taylon, a beast adorned in the life and growth of other worlds

he basically is growing a lot of weird alien plants and fungus on him

something something invasive parasitic species

through mutual confused trickery and a series of mishaps, morando is bound to akiridion-5 to serve aja, a move which is not Liked by the emperor but is nevertheless permitted since morando has recently been put on the naughty list

weird sexual tension ensues, of course

krel is there too but idk what he’s doing yet, he certainly hates ALL of this and he’s right to

yes, aja is hades and morando is persephone in this au, i don’t take it back

luug is cerberus <3

a lot of things from me and my boyfriend’s worldbuilding for 3below are just Assumed as the premise for this so if there’s anything confusing please lmk and i’ll explain it lol

[yellowmagicalgirl]

So I recently binge-read the Anarchy Dreamers webcomic, which is about a world where often when kids (and maybe some adults? I can't remember) die, they come back from the dead with supernatural powers and/or physical changes (but their nightmares can wreak havoc on the world). Those who come back from the dead are called both dreamers and dreamwalkers, though occasionally death isn’t neccessary. And now I kind of want to write an AU about it, so...

AU where the Reckless Club+Darci all got Saturday detention with Senor Uhl... however, there was a fire that would later be blamed on faulty electrical. Only Senor Uhl and Shannon made it out alive. The other seven students all made it out undead. Now, five of them are illegally fighting nightmares.

(Warning: below the cut there are mild Wizards spoilers)

Reckless Dreamers

Jim

Physical changes: he basically became troll!Jim but the changes are almost entirely cosmetic.

Powers: He can manifest armor and weapons.

Jim is one of the first of the seven of them to start fighting nightmares.

Claire

Physical changes: her blue streak turned white, and her irises turned purple. When she feels intense anger or fear, her hair turns fully white, her sclera turn black, and her pupils turn pale purple.

Powers: She can control shadows so they take other shapes. In addition, she (and up to two other people; she has to hold their hand) can use shadows to travel from one place to another.

Claire holds off on fighting nightmares for a while because of her mom, but when her own nightmare threatens Enrique she is able to fight back against it - something incredibly rare for dreamwalkers... then again, there could be an outside influence affecting her.

Toby

Physical changes: his teeth are now orange crystals; at least he no longer needs braces!

Powers: Gravity manipulation

Toby finds out that Jim is fighting nightmares, alone, and immediately decides that he needs to help his best friend.

Steve

Physical changes: he has small horns that probably look like either Draal’s or Gunmar’s

Powers: not much beyond enhanced physical strength

Steve started fighting nightmares soon after Jim and Toby started, but it was a while before he and Eli teamed up with Jim, Toby, and Claire.

Eli

Physical changes: if you shine a light at his eyes, his pupils will reflect green light

Powers: mild telekinesis, enhanced reflexes and dexterity

He has theories about the fire and the nature of nightmares, and he’s going to get answers, dammit!

Darci

Physical changes: Pink mole ears

Powers: Unknown

Darci doesn’t fight nightmares because it’s illegal and there’s people with actual training who are doing so, but she also won’t snitch on the others to her dad because she knows they’re trying to do the right thing

Mary

Physical changes: her hair is now more of a really dark red than a true black

Powers: Invisibility

Mary chooses not to fight, but she does casually help the others avoid detection

Other Dreamers

Blinky

Powers: He can make things combust

Physical changes: Four arms, six eyes.

Blinky is the school guidance counselor, and he’s been trying to get the Reckless Dreamers into his office to try and help them cope with their changes. He’s also trying to monitor Shannon to see if she manifests dreamwalker traits. Unfortunately, there are only so many hours of the day. He lives with his husband Arghamount in Trollmarket, a suburb of Arcadia Oaks where a large percentage of the population is dreamers.

Strickler

Powers: knife summoning

Physical changes: wings, horns

Strickler is the only other adult dreamwalker at Arcadia Oaks High (not counting the occasional 18-year-old who is about to graduate). He is secretly a member of the Janus Order, a political group that believes dreamwalkers are better than most humans (but does not advocate for the deaths of normal humans, unlike more extreme dreamwalker supremacist groups)

Aja & Krel

Physical changes: They now have four arms each and cyan blood. Their eyes are now the same as their Akiridion eyes. Aja was shorter than Krel before they died; now she’s taller.

Powers: They both have light manipulation, which allows them to look like their living forms. Aja is able to create hard light weaponry/shoot lasers. Krel can create portals.

The Tarron siblings really are a pair of human twins (Aja will not shut up about being four minutes older) who escaped the violent coup of their home country of Cantaloupia. Varvatos was supposed to get the two of them and their parents to America, where they would live with Fialkov’s eccentric second cousin (Lucy) and her husband (Ricky). All four Tarrons were gunned down as they escaped via a truck. Aja and Krel came back from the dead; Fialkov and Coranda did not.

Merlin

Physical changes: honestly he’s so old and the changes were so subtle that he no longer remembers

Powers: longevity, among other things

Merlin helped to start Camelot LLC with Arthur’s grandfather, Aurelius Pendragon. As the years have gone on, Merlin has been slowly locked out of Camelot LLC. He has a license to fight nightmares internationally.

Morgana

Physical changes: Five tiny gold horns have formed along her brow. Her nails also naturally grow in as gold claws.

Powers: levitation, shadow manipulation, low-level telepathy

Morgana died when she was sixteen, due to a camping accident gone wrong. She also lost her left hand in this accident. No one’s sure, but it’s suspected that Guinevere’s death was caused by Morgana’s nightmare. Morgana is secretly channeling Camelot LLC funds into the Janus Order. She’s going to take interest in Claire’s abilities sooner or later.

Douxie

Physical changes: His bangs are naturally blue. When he feels intense emotions his eyes glow blue.

Powers: part of his soul effectively split off into a talking dragon-cat; though Archie might actually be the result of a nightmare. Douxie might have other powers as well.

Douxie became a dreamwalker as a homeless orphaned five-year-old, and his circumstances didn’t get better until three years later, when Merlin rescued Douxie from his own nightmare, adopted him, and brought him back with him to California. Merlin has encouraged Douxie to fight against nightmares, even though it’s not legal. Now that Douxie is nearly an adult, Merlin often leaves him alone with Archie in their Arcadia Oaks apartment for days at a time. Morgana will often check up on Douxie, if she’s visiting the Janus Order. It’s technically neglect, but Douxie doesn’t see anything wrong with this considering his life before Merlin.

Zoe

Physical changes: gills, fins, and scales as seen in this post where I illustrate them

Powers: lightning control

Zoe drowned in a swimming pool when she was twelve. She’s one of the few dreamers at Arcadia Oaks Academy other than Douxie.

Seamus

Physical changes: he gained swirling tattoos across his upper back. They faintly glow when he uses his powers.

Powers: Density control

Seamus died of a bad case of food poisoning when he was eleven. He joined the Junior Dreamer Guard (it’s like JROTC) in hopes that it’ll help him get a scholarship.

Araceli Conrad

Physical changes: her bones are now crystalline in nature

Powers: magnetism (if she teamed up with Zoe they could use light manipulation)

Conrad was crushed by falling furniture when she was 14. The only people allowed to call her by her first name are her grandmother and her girlfriend, Shannon, but that doesn’t mean that everyone respects this.

Nana

Physical changes: Her eyes are a brighter shade of green than they were prior to becoming a dreamer

Powers: Longevity

Nancy became a dreamer in World War One

The Living

Shannon

Has survivor’s guilt. She’s looking into the fire, to see if there was anything suspicious about it.

Arthur

Known for being the CEO of the company Camelot LLC, and also having anti-dreamer political policies despite his sister and one of the company founders both being dreamers. His politics have become harsher ever since Guinevere died under mysterious circumstances.

Kubritz

Military; she’s been experimenting on ways to fight nightmares while not involving dreamers. She’s also conducting illegal experiments on dreamers.

what's your favorite headcanon about akiridions?

not to toot my own horn, but symbiotic political bonding! it was born from my desire to have more arranged marriage aus, but i think that directly transplanting human traditions and cultural norms onto aliens that aren’t even biologically similar is boring, and thus i came up with bonding. i’ve talked about it a lot in private convos and it’s obviously the main plot device in warzone, but for those who aren’t familiar, here’s a little more in-depth info about it. bullet format because otherwise it’s going to be a fucking 15-page essay. these are obviously all headcanons because it’s Wild and there are definitely some Bad Implications that are a little too dark for canon.

bonding is a political concept which is much more common among nobility and royal families in the akiridion empire. the thing that it can most easily be compared to is marriage, but it’s actually a physical process that involves irreversible changes to an akiridion’s core

(oh yeah, i think akiridion is an empire and a-5 is just one of many planets with one of many ruling monarchs)

the core (no pun intended) principle is that through bonding, ultimate balance between parties that are at odds will be maintained through extreme compromise and self-sacrifice

this is done by literally changing the makeup of an akiridion’s core so that they can more easily transfer energy between themselves and the akiridion(s) they are bonded to

during energy exchange, the way that akiridions process information and emotions begins to synchronize, and the bonded parties become more similar to one another, essentially forming an entirely different personality out of the ones brought into the bond

different akiridions have different personalities, obviously, and varying levels of willpower

due to the fact that it’s a tool of compromise, the most common number of people in one bond is three, with four as a close second. this is to ensure that one member of the bond does not dominate the bond and throw it out of balance

energy transference can be done outside of bonds and is usually done through physical and emotional contact (most commonly sexual,) but bonding facilitates much more extreme transference that causes the personality and physical changes that you do not see in non-bonded contact

bonding is a very traditional sacred practice which has a lot of Rules™ that must be followed, with a big important one being that a bond must always be at least three akiridions

fialkov and coranda are a notable deviation from this since they are a two person bond, and they are largely considered to be selfish and irresponsible by other akiridion nobility for it

there’s a whole lot more to it and there are a lot of things that play into it because i’ve gone just really buck wild with my worldbuilding, but these are the basics.

and here’s a fun tidbit that’s going to sound like total gibberish lmao

for a bond to be considered for emperor, the bond must achieve complete physical symbiosis and be made up of at least 20,000 diations of mass (but 25,000+ is preferred,) which usually means that with your average akiridion being around ~3,000 diations the bond must include at least six akiridions to be considered eligible. the current emperor is about 30,000 diations and was once a nine person bond, but they are losing more and more diations every year.

A Guide to the Pacific Rim Lore and Media Empire

 Maybe you’ve arrived late to the Pacific Rim party. That’s fine! (The party had pretty much died until Uprising finally got the green light.) But if you’d like to play catch-up before March, there’s a surprising amount of content out there. This list will hopefully serve as a handy checklist. Note that much of the paracanon is obscure and/or contradicts the film, so there is no guarantee that Uprising will acknowledge any of it. Still, its impact on fanworks means it is worth knowing.

PARACANON:

Pacific Rim: Tales from Year Zero by Travis Beacham (Pacific Rim creator/screenwriter). Graphic novel prequel concerning Tendo Choi’s experiences during K-Day, the start of the Jaeger Program, the invention of the Drift, the first Jaeger-Kaiju battle, and the fates of Stacker Pentecost’s sister and co-pilot.

Pacific Rim: Tales from the Drift by Joshua Hale Fialkov. Four-issue comic (later collected as a graphic novel) concerning the adventures of Tacit Ronin’s pilots.

Pacific Rim: The Official Movie Novelization by Alexander Irvine. Like most novelizations, functions as an AU of the movie, with plenty of additional worldbuilding.

Travis Beacham maintained a heavy presence on Tumblr following the film’s release, answering many a fan’s question along the way (back in the dark ages when asks couldn’t be reblogged).

Guillermo del Toro posted extremely detailed character bios for Mako Mori, Raleigh Becket, and Stacker Pentecost on Twitter earlier this year.

BEHIND THE SCENES:

Pacific Rim: Man, Machines & Monsters by David S Cohen. Phenomenal artbook with a few bits of paracanon as well.

The Blu-ray’s special features are considerable (the DVD a bit less so), and both are quite cheap these days.

Travis Beacham’s intial script leaked online in 2012. It’s recognizable as Pacific Rim, but changed a lot before the cameras rolled. Some of the characters that were removed from the movie show up in the comics.

I don’t have a playlist of all the stuff on YouTube, but I’m attempting to compile it on Wikizilla.

Official production notes.

Complete transcript of the end credits.

MERCHANDISE:

NECA released many, many articulated Jaeger and Kaiju figures from 2013 to 2015. They also made a rubber Baby Otachi, replicas of five of the toys that appear in the film’s prologue, and Scalars (figures meant to hang on cables) of Lady Danger and Knifehead.

There are ten Pacific Rim HeroClix dials: five Jaegers and five Kaiju. A Mini Game with Lady Danger, Slattern, and a map was also issued.

Halloween costumes of Lady Danger, Cherno Alpha, and Knifehead.

NECA’s discontinued product archives show that there were also dog tags, baseball hats, patches, bracelets, backpacks, pins, stickers,  magnets, a card game, and a “puzzle building game.” Distribution on these wasn’t great, so they can be tricky to find.

Have you considered, gelfling Aja and Krel?

i have, actually!! unfortunately it doesn't look like i have any art of them saved on my computer, but i do have a dark crystal au for morajel! i will jot down a couple of things that i remember about it lol

aja and krel are both gelfling with wings, iirc they're vapran/spriton mixed, might be grottan/spriton though

fialkov and coranda are arathim that have taken over/fused with two gelfling, and ended up having aja and krel as their biological children

as a result, aja and krel are like... not 100% gelfling, they have some weird arathim stuff going on

idk it's a magical world and it's my au leave me alone

morando is a garthim, but like.... much more on the gruenak side of things in that he's more humanoid shaped, iirc he might have some sort of weird gelfling stuff mixed into his biology as well???

anyway morando Big Beetle Boy, he's fully sapient and is a garthim commander sent to hunt down aja and krel specifically because of their connection to the arathim

he ends up kidnapping aja and krel, but they don't end up making it back to the castle of the crystal, and instead end up just. wandering thra

i don't remember exactly how i imagined the story ends, but i do remember a scene where they come across some glow moss and krel is saying something about how they need to find different food because if they eat the moss they'll be easier to find, and when he turns around both aja and morando are glowing because they've already eaten it lol

here's a snippet of a fic i started writing in this au last may:

"Krel!" She practically shouts the word in his ear as she leans close, and he yelps, the pieces of metal that he had been tinkering with sent flying as he startles.

"Aja!" He snaps, standing and whirling around to glare at her. "Don't sneak up on me like that!" he scolds her while she simply grins at him, nose wrinkled and teeth bared.

"Ah, but Little Brother, you make it far too easy!" She laughs, and bends down to pick up a gear that had rolled up against her paw. Holding it up, she turns it over in her hand and looks it over while Krel busies himself with picking up the other pieces that had been carelessly flung aside.

"This is important, Aja, you can't keep goofing around like some drunken Podling!" His words are muffled by him pressing his face into the rumpled fabric around his neck as he picks through the grass for more of the metal, although she could have sworn there weren't that many parts. He certainly hadn't had nearly that many when they left the safety of their parents’ home, and they hadn't exactly stopped in many places where old Skeksis relics had been hidden away.

"You're too serious, Krel," she says, tapping his shoulder, and holding out the gear. He looks over his shoulder at her, left wing twitching under his cloak as he glares at her for a moment before reaching out and taking the gear. "We haven't seen any sign of the Garthim for days, and if you keep being so wound up you're going to explode." She tilts her head, looking her brother over with a mischievous smile. "Maybe literally." Krel scoffs, finally rising, and stows the scrap metal pieces into his satchel.

"I'm not going to explode," he snaps, righting the satchel as his side and dusting off the knees of his trousers. "I simply think that we should be careful since, oh, I don't know, we're being hunted by giant murderous beasts that are bent on killing us?" Aja's ears droop at his words, and she crosses her arms across her chest, looking away from him.

"I am being careful," she retorts, voice too gentle. "I just... I don't like seeing you so upset." Krel stares at her for a long time before turning to look down the path again.

"Well, I am upset," he says. "We already lost mama and papa. I don't want to lose you too." With that, he begins walking away, leaving Aja to stare after him for a long moment before she heaves a sigh, fixes her own satchel on her shoulder, and follows after.

---------

"You're not doing it right," she says, reaching out and taking the flint from Krel's hand. He opens his mouth to grumble out a protest, but thinks better of it and lets her take them. The cave once more echoes with the sound of stone on stone and she smacks them together at an angle, a few shy sparks flying from their union, but not catching the pile of twigs and dried moss at their paws. She fights the urge to growl in frustration, brow furrowed as she concentrates, staring at the stones and the kindling as if a heated enough glare will cause them to simply burst into flames without further protest.

It doesn't work - but the flint does, and as a few sparks catch the nest of dried moss, she hurriedly cups her hands around it and gently blows, feeding the fledgling fire. Within a few minutes, a steady fire warms their paws, logs catching the infant flame with ease. They cook broth and scavenged mushrooms and shoots in the small pot that Aja carries in her satchel, a meal that is meager compared to what they used to eat at home. They have little choice in the matter though, and neither of them complain as they sip their simple soup in silence, the light from the entrance of the cave fading as the third Brother makes its way down below the horizon.

If you were to do a Frozen AU for Tales of Arcadia, how would you go about it?

(For the record, I’m still technically on hiatus but I needed a way to destress from the current craziness that is the world as we know it.)

First thought: Claire has darkness powers that she can’t control and she sings this parody and they’re related to her anxiety and... wait, does that mean NotEnrique is Anna? Also, shouldn’t Claire be the sibling who gets frozen because she has a cursed white streak?

Okay, with that out of the way, let’s move on to a pair of canonically royal siblings where one of them has platinum blonde hair.

Akiridion is a small kingdom (really, it’s more of a city-state) that was ruled by King Fialkov and Queen Coranda, or at least it was until they died. Now, it’s time for the coronation of the queen-in-waiting, who has been locked up in the castle ever since she was a child. More than once she had argued with her parents that she should just leave, and let Krel be king-in-waiting instead of just prince. They always said her destiny would follow her, anyways, and now it’s here.

Krel, unlike his sister, never chafed under the isolation. However, he was lonely since his sister didn’t interact with him as much as she did in their childhood. Except, surprise! His big sister, who is now queen, has ice powers. And Aja, being Aja, runs away. Okay, maybe that’s also because of the way Duke Morando of Taylon is calling her a monster, but still.

Aja still manages to accidentally freeze Krel’s heart, which causes him to remember the truth about his childhood. Krel ends up saving her from Morando, and he unthaws, and for the first time in forever the two siblings actually hug.

I’m not to big on having romance subplots, but if I had to put them in here’s what they’d be (and hopefully the cut I’m putting them under works)

For the Hans subplot, let me first state that this plot is based on what I thought it would be when Hans admitted he wasn’t in love with Anna: so remember what I said about Claire having darkness powers that she can’t fully control? Well, that’s still going to be in play here. Except, instead of having been born with her powers, Claire was more-or-less cursed with her powers. Ophelia made a bargain with Morgana so that the kingdom of Arcadia could survive a plague. Arcadia is ruled by an oligarchy, which is to say five royal families of equal power who vote on things. Claire was supposed to be Ophelia’s heir, but the deal with Morgana made it so that Claire can now be controlled by Morgana. Yeah, that’s not what you want for one-fifth of the ruling body of your kingdom, so instead toddler Enrique is the heir. Despite being isolated, Krel is known for being a genius, and thus Claire goes to him because she thinks he can help her... and they accidentally think it could be love. Oops. Anyways, Claire falls for Aja instead, because Aja is a kindred spirit.

For the Kristoff subplot: Douxie is an ice-cutter and he thinks that cats are better than people. Also, he was raised by trolls after his parents died and he may or may not be entirely human.

Anyways, if we’re heading into Frozen II territory then we’re going to veer wildly off-script. Which is to say, we’re going to stay on-script for 3Below and also use a plot that I thought would have been used for Anna. That’s right, Krel is going to be staying with his mother’s people, the Cantaloupians. Which is to also say that Krel is going to have powers as the fifth spirit in this, ones that were only just starting to develop when Aja accidentally hit him with a ice bolt and they were kids. Yes, this means that everyone in the current royal family has magic powers, including if we keep both romance subplots... and also it means that Aja gets to think her little brother died again.

Zadra and Varvatos are going to be among the soldiers that got trapped by the mists, and Zadra may or may not have a romance subplot with Izita.

Between the Blanks and Luug, one of these two groupings is gonna be our Olaf equivalent and the other is some spirit.

I saw it on one of you sketch dumps, what's the RM au?

ONLY ONE OF MY FAVOURITE AUS TO WORK ON MY DEAR ANON

I actually have two different RM AUs, but the one you’ve seen me draw is what I call the RM Game Drop AU. It’s based on my books, the What is Real Magic? series or as I abbreviate, RM. In this AU, basically the wiz-kids (it is a post-wiz-fic AU as many of mine are) get themselves pulled into a video game version of RM where they’re the only ones that know it’s not real and they have to beat the game (in this case, the prophecy), to get out and back home.

The Havnym Prophecy (or Sea Nymph Prophecy) in the books is basically a repeating prophecy of five defenders (Child of Magic, Heir of Light, Healer, Warrior, and Blood of Darkness) who defeat something called the Sleeping Evil. I’m gonna assume this is related to the 5 Headcanons thing so...

1. Douxie and Krel both wake up in Hanive, Penthe’a, in the palace, both blue-haired elves. They’re hella confused and end up running into elven versions of Fialkov, Coranda, and Aja, as well as a dwarven version of Vex and a magen Mort. They eventually figure out they’ve been sucked into the world of the game and books as siblings and princes. From there, it’s easy to tell Krel is the Child of Magic, because he’s got the light hair characteristic of every other Child of Magic. We’ll later figure out Douxie is the Blood of Darkness, though he claims early on he would “never do dark magic”.

2. Steve wakes up in Arvea, Penthe’a. He’s half wood nymph and half elf, hence the greenish skin, and he’s very confused and even more confused when he runs into an elven version of Seamus who absolutely should be dead. Steve ends up being the Healer of the Prophecy.

3. Toby wakes up in the dark nymph town of Ok’ma, Penthe’a, and he’s a light nymph on the tail end of light nymph puberty which automatically makes him the Heir of Light. He runs into Jim, an elf visiting from the nearby city of Siddai, and Claire, a fellow dark nymph.

4. Alex wakes up in the magen country Ae’trona, but doesn’t realise anything’s different until he sees himself in a mirror and realises, oh, the lighting in his room wasn’t weird, he’s purple now. From there he is very confused. He ends up being our Warrior.

5. Once they finally figure out they’re all here and reunite, they’ll decide their best shot for getting home is completing the Prophecy. It will be a lot harder than they expected, though, because, let’s face it, these boys are not at all equipped for a high fantasy quest in which they all have magic, Toby’s still fairly likely to blow something up, Krel is very likely to blow something up and it might be himself, and Douxie absolutely cannot handle stress well at all.

Favourite AU ideas for Tarroncest and/or Urale/Krel?

A thing everyone should know about me is that I am absolutely WEAK for arranged marriage and political marriage AUs. In pretty much every Moraja/Morel/Morajel AU I have there is some element that involves Aja and Krel being Bonded (married off) to either just each other or also to Morando, because I adore it so much.

I've also been really vibing with that PotO!Urel AU tbh, I would love the setting to be very magitech and science fantasy, because..... space opera is my favorite genre lol.

Dark Crystal AU is also very fun, because Urale is an arathim controlling a gelfling meatsuit, and Aja and Krel are gelfing born of arathim-controlled gelfling meatsuits.

Going back to the Akiridion setting for a sec, I also have been pondering a Tarroncest+Urel AU where Aja and Krel are the king and queen of Akiridion, and Urale is serving as their imperial overseer to make sure that shit is staying on track because they Do Not Trust Akiridion-5 over on Prime lol. Urale particularly hones in on Krel as a good target for bending to Prime's mandate because he can tell he's a little more malleable than Aja, who already has a strong personality and after being manipulated by Morando has absolutely zero patience for Urale's bullshit. And also Urale was very close with Fialkov and knows how best to emulate him to hook into Krel's daddy issues.

Basically, give me anything that's going to involve high-stakes fantasy/sci-fi politics and I'm going to be obsessed with it. I read Dune at an impressionable age.
