outlaw fakes au doodle! all the fakes that have ever been caught by authorities have the fakes symbol branded somewhere visible so that if they escape (when they escape) they are immediately recognizable to other authorities

[zombicidalpixie]

longest shot ever, but is there anyone around that still knows/writes fake ah crew? I have been dying for a roleplay with the same vibes for a very long time. I have so many thoughts and feelings about the characters/their archetypes and dynamics.

I'd like something similar with ocs or "canons," and I even have an old starter I never got to use! give me best friends committing atrocities and crimes together and being more comfortable navigating the city's dark alleyways than their own feelings.

if this sounds at all interesting to you, please send me a message!

HELLO?!?! PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT THIS MR AND MRS SMITH ALFREYCO IDEA OF YOURS???

It’s a very loose idea based of the premise of mr and mrs smith. But basically alfredo and trevor are boyfriends, each pretending to have normal lives. But in reality, both are working for rival crews in los santos, heisting and killing as they work their criminal lives. Alfredo is a master sniper, working both as cover for heisting and hitman depending on the pay. Trevor works mainly as a thief, though is decent with close combat weapons like knives. He works with a growing crew (aka the Fake AH crew), taking bigger and bigger heists across the city.

Eventually the two discover their hidden lives when Trevor’s crew is a heist that Alfredo is hired to “interrupt” from the rival crew. Alfredo was firing from his rifle, not recognizing any of the crew with their masks (I also imagine Alfredo has met some of the other Fakes, though just thinks they’re Trevor’s friends and gets along with them). Fortunately he doesn’t hit any of them, more trying to scare them off. But the Fakes become determined to find who is doing this. So this all eventually leads to Trevor going after the sniper.

Trevor bursts in on the sniper, jumping him and at first just wanting to hurt. Furious at whoever was trying to hurt his crew. But as Trevor gets him pinned down, knife to his throat, his body freezes as he sees who it is under him. And as Trevor pauses, Alfredo rips off Trevor’s mask. And gasps in his own surprise. Both just staring with wide eyes and silent horror. No words were said, but Trevor just quietly climbs off and lets Alfredo go. Not sure what the fuck else to do.

Anyway, I don’t have a full fic planned out haha. But eventually Alfredo gets out of the job of the rival crew. Probably pissing off that crew since they don’t want Alfredo do get out of the job they paid him to do. Of course Trevor and the Fakes help Alfredo get out, leading to a great shootout moment like in the movie. And Alfredo joins the Fakes as they now become the head crew of the city after taking out the rival. And happily ever after 😂

tell me abt crime au!!

i think it would be hard to overstate the amount of deeply questionable fake ah crew stuff that i read and wrote as a young person. (if you are not familiar, fahc is/was the gta let's play series by achievement hunter that spawned a huge universe of deeply inaccurate gang wars and heists. as an adult, let alone as someone who knows things about organized crime, it is all batshit insane and unrealistic, but that's part of the appeal.)

anyways on the macro level i just think it would be fun to slam dunk hermitpires into this setting. you've got all the possible archetypes from fahc. gang rivalry where nobody can tell how serious it is. unhinged explosives experts. kidnappings that end with incredibly dramatic rescues and a bloody enraged person kissing their kidnapped lover on the forehead, something that i'm sure that you, blink marquis, have never considered before in your life. you're welcome.

on the micro level i wrote about this a little once but the overall thought is ranchers (lol surprise) where like. if you assume that hermits and empires are rival gangs in this world, then jimmy and tango are rivals, but they're also probably not the most well-known people. so they meet at a bar or something and have a one night stand as perfect strangers, which turns into a two night stand that turns into fwb and then a relationship that gets blown up as soon as they accidentally discover that they're, y'know, on opposite sides of a major turf war.

the most relevant part of this braindump doc, which i haven't touched in a couple months bc i still don't know the answer, is a bulletpoint that says "is there a happy ending" followed by eight different options

[pyrotic-goat]

Returning to my roots.

Something about AH ending, despite not watching for a few years (stopped around time of The Asshole Getting Outed)

There's some part of me that has found peace. I'm putting my grubby little hyperfocus all over specifically FAHC stuff. I've had Good At Being Bad on loop for a few days even! I've been far more into yogscast (both current and old content) for the last few years. I have a separate blog for that fandom, since it's a much smaller fandom on Tumblr, and this blog has always been writing/whump/AH focused.

You will likely see fahc content from me in the coming months, and yes, the character Vagabond will be in it. I will put his actual name as a tw on the tags, but he will be heavily referred to as Vagabond.

I will state it once here, that I do not support his IRL self, and vehemently hate him.

A note: I will actually be removing my ah mc au fic from AO3 at the end of December! I will be making it into an original story.

Feel free to dm for the link to the ah mc au fic collection if you can't find it.

Today on AUs I’m Too Lazy To Write Myself:

PRIVATE RECORDING 1 COWBOY AU LETS GOOO

Chilled - local Sheriff 

Courtilly - local Deputy (this is based on their matching cowboy skins from their last FCT stream)

Ze - local single father in crushing debt (he steals and stuff to provide for his kid, and unlike canon Lore™ he’s a good dad)

Cheesy - local child of said father (i live for little Cheese AUs)

Speedy - local outlaw gang leader (the gang being The Crew. Obviously)

Sidearms - local right-hand guy for Speedy 

Kara - local singer at local saloon/local crime syndicate head honcho (shh twist villain don’t tell… whoops.) (and she’s still Cheesy’s mother)

Jeremy - leader of less local outlaw gang (FAHC? Maybe, but also he could literally just be a solo outlaw cause he’s so slay)

Tay - pissed off civilian with a gun/local vigilante

Junk - local saloon owner (also pissed off)

I don’t know if I’ll ever write this (or if someone else will??) so here’s the plot:

Ze owes Many Debts to Kara and The Crew (they work for Kara, technically) so he has to steal to provide for his son (Cheems)

Cheesy finds out about this and runs away because Stealing is BAD and he doesn’t know any better 

Sheriff Chilled finds him and he takes Cheesy in because “it's his duty” and “it’s only temporary”

Meanwhile Ze is running around like the mother from that brandon rogers video like “HAS ANYONE SEEN MY SON???” whilst also avoiding the crime syndicate that he still owes money to

They eventually find him and they’re gonna kill him bc he doesn’t have the money but then Tay swoops in and saves his ass YAY

Chilled is busy trying to teach Cheesy how to shoot a gun and Court is busy trying to stop him so Jeremy moves in on the Crew’s territory

Gang war breaks out, Chilled and Court have to fuck shit up and save the day, Tay helps out and Ze maybe gets reunited with his son?

For the AH asks!! 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 17, 38, 44 and 51 (hope that's not too many to answer 😅)

Hahaha, love, no problem at all. It's like 2013 tumblr where I'm just doing all these ask games again.

How did you get into AH? I'm boring and got into AH through Rage Quit, like all of them! My current (kind of) partner had never really heard of AH and I was going back through with him last weekend, which made me remember the first ever AH video I ever watched was The Impossible Game Part Two. Swiss-fucking-cheese-god-damn-it was the phrase that hooked me lol. Went through all the rage quits and then into the minecrafts and then to the GTAs and now here we are.

Who was your favorite when you started? Immediately, Michael and Gavin as I was introduced to AH via Rage Quit and I loved their dynamic, like everyone!

Who’s your favorite now? Favorite is such a tricky word because I love them all for all sorts of different ways. My partner asked me the same question and I didn't really have an answer. Of course still Michael (and Gav, when he's around). I adore Matt. I really love Ky and BK and their interactions. I am obsessed with Dad Michael and Kid Joe dynamic. Last but certainly not least I love the Red Web boyos. I really do think Treh has the softest spot in my heart right now though.

Favorite ship? I am a ride or die OG OT5 girlie (Michael/Jack/Geoff/Gavin/Jeremy) even if it doesn't make sense with the current layout. FAHC isn't AH really, so it doesn't matter lol.

For new crew? I am a hardcore Alfreyo shipper and BK/Ky (what is their ship name...?)

Favorite AU?

I'm still such a slut for the FAHC, honestly. Although the new outlaw AU is super cute. I also have a huge thing for 7 Days, its one of my favorite games, and there's not a lot of 7 Days AU out there so a girlies gotta take what she can get.

Favorite experience meeting any of the crew?

This will be my 5th RTX, but one of the best experiences was meeting Michael after Theater Mode in like 2018. He was obviously stupidly tired and just wanted to go home but he stayed and chatted with everyone who lined up to take pictures with him. Me and my friend were one of the last ones and I was like "we don't have to get a photo, go home" and he was like "nah come here" and it was super sweet.

Also pulling Treh over for a photo and getting to say hi was awesome.

Poor Joe at RTX last year was just still so flabbergasted anyone ever wanted to meet him, he is such a sweet boy.

Double hugs from Ky and BK <3 <3 <3

Matt gives one of the best hugs I've ever had.

Jeremy was so happy I was shorter than him.

Not AH, but I met Greg Miller at PAX once and he came running over to ME to take a pic because I was in an AH hat and signed it huge so the real AH guys had to fight for the premium real estate lollllll

Favorite GTA mini-series?

Gotta say Criminal Masterminds despite the fact that I don't really feel comfy going back and rewatching it. Only series I've ever watched that I was literally on the edge of my seat. They gotta do something like that again.

Has AH ever inspired you?

AH inspired me to make the videos that I had on YouTube and because of them I have like 300 subs. I don't make them anymore but it was a really great time in my life. I haven't updated them though, so proceed with caution.

Any videos, series, podcasts, etc. You’d recommend to new fans?

My partner that I mentioned is just getting into AH so I'm trying my best to compile a good watch list for him. Survive Block Island is incredible. The 7 Days series is top notch. Weird Place. Haunter, if you don't mind a certain someone being in it. Red Web has my heart.

There's so much incredible content, even from 2021 onward. Binge. Enjoy. Smile. Laugh! <3

[howdoyoudothedew]

3 and 29!

3. What work are you most proud of (regardless of kudos/hits)?

This immortal fake ah crew fic! I'm just always a real sucker for writing fahc, especially immortal fahc of some kind

29. Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?

This bit from a Peter Darling modern au

`"That's okay. She won't hurt you." Peter smiles sunnily, and it's against his better judgement, but James trusts the smile enough to inch closer. Peter's smile widens and he lifts the cat closer to him. "Her name's Tinkerbell."

"Hello, Miss Tin-" James cuts off, the cat reaching out with a hiss as Peter steps closer and clawing him across the cheek and nose. James backpedals in the shock of pain, hand going to the claw marks. The skin is wet under his fingers. To his annoyance, Peter laughs at his cat's actions, dropping her as the force of his humour bows him over, hands moving instead to clasp his knees in an attempt to keep his balance. Tinkerbell takes a swipe at his leg as she passes, thankfully failing to get past the material of his pants, her nose in the air as she walks further into the house with her tail swishing.

"You lied to me." James says.

"Maybe," Peter smiles up at him, grin toothy with laughter. James feels his own mouth twitch betrayingly upward.`

ask me my ao3 wrapped!

[mattstrahm]

*star* (since I don't have emojis) based on the ask game you just reblogged (director's cut one)

i'm gonna tell you a secret because i know you'd know but nobody else here would have any clue.

i have this older AU f1 fic series i wrote and have since retired (despite grand plans rip), it's called stained by red and the words in it are no sweet dream / hell of a night and lost cause and i fully ripped myself off and adapted it off of old unpublished FAHC fics. i never mention where it takes place because it's fucking los santos and i couldn't SAY that when i was trying to sell it off as just a crime au. what the fuck is a daniel ricciardo anyway if not an australian gavin free........ to an extent..........

anyway i think this is the part where it's the most blatant to me of a certain era of FAHC fic, you know along with the whole thing taking part somewhere which is clearly california coded but has casinos..

The crew had existed longer than any of them had been in it. A lot of good people had been lost, to retaliation or other life paths. Their only real connection to the original was the guy who did their cars, Kimi, and even he was a part of what they referred to as the third generation.

[ursifors]

more outlaw shit because i can't stop thinking about this au

so one of my fahc headcanons is that rimmy has a pet python named gummy banana so i'm transferring that to this au as well. since they all live in an abandoned mineshaft she usually is just hanging out coiled wherever its warmest, or sitting outside sunning.

everyone but matt and joe has their own horse. matt and joe dont have horses because for some reason animals hate them.

i'm imagining their hideout to be very much like slim's secret hideout from home on the range.

trevor knew matt and jeremy before starting his life of crime. jeremy was already an established outlaw that trevor had had run ins with when he was still a regular cowpoke, and matt was a friend from town who was always kind of bookish and smart but funny.

alfredo and trevor constantly get confused for each other by lawmen. this is sometimes really helpful, and sometimes a detriment to plans.

rimmy tim is just jeremy's like, outlaw name. not many people actually know he's named jeremy outside of the crew.

jeremy is selectively mute! he uses sign language to speak and everyone in the crew can understand him just fine! though the newbies sometimes misinterpret what he's saying which causes for some funny situations i'm sure.

jeremy comes from a troubled past that only matt (his closest friend) and trevor (his leader) know. i think its fun to make rimmy tim like, really mysterious and dangerous but silly and weird at the same time.

clay made a joke to me that alfredo gets branded on his ass when he eventually gets caught and i decided to make it canon bc its funny. he moons a sheriff one day and the guy keeps a grudge about it for months until they finally catch him and brand him on the ass cheek for revenge.

[etoilesbienne]

"heist au" syuch a nice rename for fahc au...

[ursifors]

i'm obsessed with this mostly because i really love in fahc stuff when gavin is like, unassuming but super smart and good at what he does. no one takes him seriously because he's just some silly little british guy but when he gets serious he gets Serious. i also love kind of impulsive, probably tired of this shit michael who sees an out with gavin and just goes for it and it just happens to work out beautifully.

i think in this kind of au they would constantly make up different stories how they actually met or extremely exaggerate what actually happened.

okay omg @ursifors another idea to consider: alternate fahc origins au

Gavin starts on his own, trying to make connections with other gangs, making and breaking confidences, gathering intel on everyone in the area. he gets dismissed a lot bc he’s young and skinny and unassuming, but he’s very persuasive and becomes known and feared and begins gaining influence.

he finds Michael when Michael is a bodyguard for a gang leader he’s trying to swindle and the two of them make eye contact and there’s instantly a connection. Gavin decides about halfway through the conversation he doesn’t want this guy to be running things anywhere any more so he pulls his gun and shoots the leader while Michael shoots the other guards, and they’re inseparable after that.

then they collect the rest of the Fakes, and Trevor eventually takes over some of the frontman duties and Jeremy joins as a bodyguard, etc, but it’s Gavin and Michael that are the faces and founders of the gang
