CHIP AND JAY IN MY ZEROS TO HEROES AND BEYOND AU

on the top you can see the versions of them on prime. for those of you who haven’t seen the just roll what-if, zeros to heroes, it’s a oneshot in which the riptide pirates are wannabe superheroes in an alternate version of prime defenders. it’s the entire basis for my au. it isn’t much though. all that’s in it really are some shenanigans, vague character descriptions, and implications that definitely weren’t supposed to be anything but i’ve taken them and run off to make my own thing, and that’s what this is. (chip can teleport but only if no one is perceiving him, he can also create powerful, tangible illusions) (jay can fly, mostly using wind.)

and below, i’ve designed what’s basically if gillion tidestrider wasn’t banished to the oversea, but rather, to another world entirely. (he’s on prime.) in this offshoot of riptide, chip and jay were forced apart early on, leading them on very different paths. chip, following lizzie and becoming a loyal grandberry pirate, fueled by vengeance, and jay, abandoning the whole undercover thing deciding that rising in navy rank is the best option for getting revenge on whoever killed her sister. the two end up as enemies in the war between pirates and the navy.

[faithfully-yours]

A Single Mom Who Works 2 Jobs [pt 1]

Fandom : Just Roll With It

Ship : None, implied pistolwhip

Summary : Ollie heard of the riptide pirates, and of the Grandberry pirates. He had been told by Chip, of a Triton nobel and a girl of the sun. Never did he think he would meet them.

Warnings : Cliffhanger/two parts, kind of implied kidnapping? Just thought I'd add it to be safe.

Notes : In this AU, Chip went missing before they ever met Ollie. It all gets explained I prommy.

A knock on the door rings through the empty house. Ollie looks up from his homework. He sighs. If his dad was home, he would be the one to get it, but Chip was working.

He stands up from the dining table and moves to the doorway. He pulls open the wood door, and looks at the people in front of it.

Three people stand. A tall triton, who looks maybe 20, a long streak of pink going through his teal hair. He wears simple trousers and a lose white shirt. His hand rests on a sword. Beside him is a dark skinned woman, whose left eye is covered by a black eye patch. Behind them is a red haired women who looks around Ollie's fathers age, with blue eyes and a navy blue jacket that's ties around her waist.

"Uh, yes? Can I help you?" Ollie squeaks out. The people seem familiar, despite the fact he's positive he's never seen them.

The Triton speaks. "Yes, we are looking for Chip, no last name that we know of."

The women beside him scoffs, "Yeah, we're all confused about the missing last name."

Chip. Ollie's father. Not biologically, but in every way that mattered. He went, to protect him, by the name Aden Lafayette. That's all the towns people ever knew him by.

Meaning these people knew him before, everything.

"Are you Gillion?" Ollie is bouncing on the balls of his feet now.

The Triton nods. "Yes, how do-"

The ten year old shakes his head and moves the side. "Come in come in, all of you." He grins. It's them. Gillion Tidestrider, Jay Ferrin, Elizabeth Lafayette. He had heard stories, they were the ones he had fallen asleep to.

The group of pirates looks at the boy suspiciously, but walks in. He leads them to the dining room, and urges them to sit down. "Uh, my dad will be home soon, he's who you want to talk to."

The three pull out chairs. "Who are you?" The women asks, and Ollie has to forcefully contain a squeal. She looks at him weirdly.

"I'm sorry, it's just that, well your captain Lizzie!" His smiles. "But um, I'm Oliver, call me Ollie."

She nods. "Right, how do you know me?"

He grins wider. (if that's even possible) "I know all of you! Dad told me stories."

"You keep saying dad, do you mean Chip?" Jay asks.

Ollie doesn't have a chance to answer, because the door opens.

He jumps up. "That's him!"

He rushes to the main hallway.

Chip pushes the door closed. His long brown hair is tied behind his hair, and his bangs are held back with a bandana. He's still in his uniform, (a dark green shirt and brown pants) and looks tired.

He always looks tired these days.

He smiles at Ollie, his warm brown eyes sparkling. "Hey kiddo! Did you get your homework done?"

The young boy bounces up and down on his feet. "No! But I, I have a good reason!"

Chip chuckles. "Yeah?"

There's the sound of footsteps, and Lizzie appears in the arch from the main hall to the dining room. "Chip?" Her voice sounds, small. She doesn't like it.

Chip stares at her, then looks back at Ollie. "Ollie, go to your room."

"But-"

"You can talk with them later. Go to your room."

The small boy groans, but goes to his room all the same. Chip turns to his sister with a sigh.

"Right, how did you find us?"

That was a loaded question.

"The others are in the dining room, we'll talk there." Lizzie says, trying to calm herself and get some semblance of control over the situation.

H Nods and follows her to the dining table, Jay looks up and stifles a gasp. "Shit Chip it's really you!"

"Hm? Oh, yeah it is." He looks up, but looks away when he meets Jay's eyes. "How did you find us? Well me, how did you find me?"

Lizzie slides him a letter. "Gill found this when we visited-"

"Allport." Chip mutters, snatching the envelope. "I sent this right after we got out but that was years ago."

"One, you left two years ago, it's not that long ago, and two, what do you mean got out?"

Chip looks up, confused. "You guys don't think I willingly left, do you?"

Right so yes, I'm sorry, I left you there. Uh, if anyone actually wants more I'll post pt 2. So uh, yeah. Love you guys so so much!!

6 and 15 for the ao3 asks?

6. Favorite title you used

Okay so this one's probably a tie between three. We have:

which is a very sad bitb fic i made before the finale. I'm partial to this one just because it's one of the few that isn't a song lyric lmao. It's also the last line of the fic which I though was very clever :]

The there's:

Which is a polypd fluffy cuddling fic with a title from Winnie The Pooh. I just think this one is sweet :]

And finally what is possibly my favorite fic I've ever written:

which is a 5+1 Grandberry Pirates fic centered around Lizzie learning to trust her crew

15. What WIP are you taking into next year with you?

Pretty much all of them lol. I have a few in particular I'm excited for, like a bitb aftermath fic that is so far sitting around 5k words (which is a lot for me) and a riptide superhero au i've been working on for about a year since I read Tommyinnit's Clinic For Supervillians. Also a fic where Gillion goes feral during a meltdown and accidentally hurts Chip and Jay, as well as a polypd vigilante au fic based heavily on some mha fics my friend keeps recommending to me. Some snippets for these below the cut 👀

Bitb aftermath fic (Working title: 60 Days)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Day one.

Shit.

Everything went to hell so fast.

Kian fucking exploded. Rand went insane. Rolan found out he was a bug.

Rand didn't know what to do anymore.

She just wanted to play D&D with her highschool boyfriends.

He sighed as he stared into the darkness of Mr Dickman’s survival bunker.

Seemed pretty empty to be there all alone. Not that he had much of a choice.

Shit.

She closed the door with a slam and slid down to the floor, running a hand down her face. He reached up to flick the light on with his shotgun.

He looked around at the room.

“Well,” She muttered to Racheal, who had been hovering behind him for the walk over. “Time to make this place… livable.”

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Riptide superhero au (no working title)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Someone kicked down the door.

Chip was left staring at a short person with shoulder-length green hair, black armor, and a giant sword.

To reiterate: What the fuck?

“I AM TIDESTRIDER, HERO OF THE DEEP, AND I COMMAND YOU TO STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AT ONCE!” the Hero proclaimed loudly. They (He? She? No, best to go with ‘they’) waited a beat then stepped forward. The action shook Chip out of its trance and forced it back to the real world, which, unfortunately for Chip, - also known as the villian Houlding - meant hanging upside down in a museum getting caught stealing a magical artifact by a superhero brandishing a giant fucking sword at it.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Feral Gillion Fic (working title: I'm Terrified Of What's Inside)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The Champion stared deep into the blue eyes of the redhead with the bow, growling and pinning her against the wall. She held her hands out in a placating gesture, speaking in some foriegn, dry sounding language. The Champion narrowed her eyes, almost insulted. As if they were going to fall for the fake surrender. That was one of the first tricks he was taught to defend against in his training.

He felt something touch his shoulder suddenly and he jerked away, raking a clawed hand against the abdomen of the redhead and growling. They turned around to see the scrawny boy, looking terrified and betrayed.

The Champion bared her many rows of shark-like teeth. Easy prey.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

polypd vigilante fic (Title: None Of Them Were Saviors)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Okay. So they both knew his face and name, he’d apparently stayed the night, and the heroes didn't want him anymore. His breaths were coming out shakily and ragged, his heartbeat pounding in his ears. Wraith reached up and ran a hand through her hair and she whimpered, melting into the touch even as she struggled to breath.

“Dakota, look at me, please,” Wraith said gently. He was so different from how he was in fights, it almost threw Dakota off. When she didn't look up to Wraith, Variant gently placed a hand under her chin and guided her head upwards.

He could pull away at any time. They all knew he could. They all knew he wouldn't, couldn't. She needed this.

She needed them.

[tobeywobey]

this is me asking about your grandberry pirate gillion au :0

YESYAYYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this spawned cuz of a swordfish supercut and also the joke lizzie made abt "you come on this ship you're my crew"

ok SOOO its canon-compliant UP until 53/57, around there ! gilly takes Not Ferin Well a whole lot worse, especially the almost jay betrayal! hes basically the same as he is in canon (atleast to jay and chip) but hes so upset over jay lying to them this whole time even after what theyve been through together. lizzie and caspian roll up on the half a ship and yk yk, gill goes to help and lizzie makes the "hes on my ship, hes on my crew" and. gill just thinks shes serious and hes shocked and then kind of relieved? he didnt know how to confront chip and jay about what happened on block and now he doesnt have to! and so he just. says goodbye to jay and chip and lizzie is like oh shit youre fr? ok welcome aboard. LOL .

jay and chip take this as well as youd expect! theyre obviously very betrayed and upset, and chip is mad at both gill but also Lizzie cuz in his mind she has just taken his best friend away from her :( they go their separate ways after an argument between all of them (mainly gill, lizzie and chip) and jay keeps trying to convince chip to go back, chip keeps trying to sail them forward and is even more deadset on finding arlin now (they drop off ollie way sooner, as soon as they get to zero-- which they leave for after allport)

gill would start to feel guilty but also the training hes doing with caspian and lizzie starts to help him, and hes also coming to terms with being in the oversea and in his mind the grandberry ship is helping him a lot!

anyways a lot of time passes, both ships go on canon-compliant adventures (HOWEVER. grandberry pirates fight off against the navy a lot more than riptide crew does in canon, so gill is also dealing with that .)

since it starts out near ep 50ish, its near ep 100 where they are reunited (in the black sea!) niklaus tempts lizzie (and by proxy the rest of the crew) by saying if they go and help him with what he needs (which is uh. gillion. its the same thing he wants gill to do in canon) that he will bring ava back (he can Totally do that guys.) and then he gets A BIT SILLY and goes to riptide pirate crew (atp theyd have all the normal npcs minus queen cuz that was all gillion's doing) and is like. Do you Want your Fish Guy? Hes somewhere in the black sea. find him for me and ill make sure he comes back to you guys . :D (he can also Totally do that.)

they meet in the black sea, have the same battle they did when they first got there (both albatross and grandberry together) and gill is still the one who saves jay which leads to sillyness ^_^ gill and jay . talk it out and whatnot, chip (once he stops refusing to talk to gill) and gill argue about it and have. surprise. another ice arena moment. theyre so insane.

---also extra notes--- :D

i dont exactly think hed say hes happier on the grandberry ship than with chip n jay i just . think hes definitely less worried about being the main protector? he knows caspian and lizzie can hold their own (not saying jay and chip cant its just .. you know..) and is living with a lot less stress and also has worked through undersea trauma like how he does in canon except with lizzie and caspian so . hes definitely living a better life, and if offered a place back on the riptide crew he wouldnt just abandon lizzie and caspian after all that especially cuz he still has lingering pain from jay betrayal ^_^

has lizzie/ava (past), swordfish QPR (i love them), liz/casp (QPR) (have you heard how caspian talks abt liz?), and uh........ yeah thats it.

also little idea idk where to fit in here . thinking abt gill missing ollie and chip (once theyve made up) being like "the three of us can go back to Zero and see him!" and gill is just like .. "chip this is my family now, im so much happier here than I have been (OUCH.) I can't in good conscious rejoin you as a riptide pirate after i've spent so long with as a grandberry pirate. However I would Like to see ollie." but both ships go and see ollie bc. yeah ^_^. chip is. devastated :(

hes much stronger and also slightly crazier! the navy trying to kill you will do that to you ^_^

i feel like i had something else to say but i forgot it.

here’s the general plot i have in mind for my ZTHAB (Zeros To Heroes And Beyond) au. (so far. think of this as a first draft)

because i’ve been meaning to get around to it. i’m organizing it by arcs bc that’s the best word i can think of off the top of my head for this. you could also think of them as chapters. or episodes. yeah 👍. also i do not intend to write this as an actual fanfic because every time i try to do something like that i lose so much steam and excitement for my idea.

characters will be prefixed with mana! or prime! at the beginning of a paragraph, so assume i am talking about that version until i explicitly mention the alternate version of them.

oh and important detail: albatrio are basically platonic soulmates. so keep that in mind.

this au is based on a single just roll what-if. i have had too much fun with this. well, me and @theblacktiecacti who has suggested SO many good ideas that i have since incorporated.

(also, even though this is an alternate universe where things play out wildly different, there are still a LOT of spoilers for the riptide campaign, so i wouldn’t recommend getting into this idea if you aren’t caught up. not really any spoilers for prime defenders though.)

anyway

ARC ONE

mana!gillion, after attacking mr. ferin, is hauled off by guards. but instead of being banished from the undersea no forced to swim to the surface, (like in canon riptide,) he is brought to a room with a portal, which activates, and he is pulled through. he then falls from the sky in the world of prime.

previously on the prime side of things, prime!chip and prime!jay meet for the first time. this happens in a police station in a very tall building. flying cars are present. chip has been arrested, jay works at the station but isn’t officially an officer yet. she just kinda gets to hang around and do the jobs bc of who her dad is. she questions chip, who is having none of it and highly suspects her of having powers, much like himself. she denies this. but when he teleports out of the building while she isn’t looking, to sit on a narrow ledge, jay impulsively flies out the window to go grab him, blah blah, “so you DO have powers,” he invites her to join his new team of superheroes. she accepts begrudgingly. it’s basically like their first meeting oneshot, just in a different context.

back on mana again, mana!chip and mana!jay are blowing up the navy tower on zero, but things don’t go exactly to plan. they barely make it to the big chipper before they’re captured by marshal john, and taken to a holding cell until jay’s dad arrives, and takes her away. this solidifies in her mind that her undercover pirate thing never would have worked out anyway. she decides her best option is to climb navy ranks until she can find and kill her sister’s murderer herself. and chip? he’s left for days, stewing in irritation and building up a heavy grudge in response to jay’s betrayal, and he escapes before he can be taken anywhere worse, and sets off on a stolen ship looking for some real pirates.

ARC TWO

mana!gillion wakes up on a kitchen counter in prime!chip’s little apartment. prime!jay is also there. gillion, at first, is disoriented and lashes out, but he’s quickly calmed down by his new companions, who are incredibly curious about whatever the hell this fish guy’s got going on. the two wannabe heroes catch their new friend up on where he is and what’s happening, (at least, as far as what they’re aware of; they won’t find out about his banishment for a long time.) at some point, it turns out chip’s been training some kid who also has powers, (ollie,) and thus, the oneshot what-if this is based off of, occurs. nothing comes of that, they still aren’t prime defenders.

mana!jay is, indeed, rising in the ranks. she’s becoming a formidable soldier. and mana!chip finds mana!lizzie, and joins her crew, the grandberry pirates, with the end goal of getting back at the navy and by extension, jay.

ARC THREE

in both dimensions, something isn’t right.

mana!gillion finds himself at home and at peace with his hero friends, but something isn’t quiet right. he’s like a puzzle piece that fits perfectly, and yet is from the wrong set entirely. additionally, there’s an individual, labeled a supervillain by the news, that’s been stirring up trouble in the very city the three friends live in, and gillion can’t help but find the mechsuit of this villain incredibly familiar. gill also gets some new clothes, and some more futuristic armor. pretzel keeps her hero mask.

mana!chip is falling into old patterns from his time with reuben price, and is becoming nearly as ruthless as his captain.

mana!jay talks to her friend, kira, who voices some concerns. jay brushes these off and continues training and barking orders at the people around her. but when she is faced with a portrait of her sister, she starts to wonder if this is worth it. she spends a lot of her time alone crying.

ARC FOUR

mana!chip and mana!jay meet for the first time since zero in a tavern on neutral soil. jay doesn’t think of her leaving chip as a betrayal, but he does. she talks to him like an old friend, even tries to invite him to join her in her cause. but chip is angry. his hurt bubbles and boils under his skin, manifesting in an off putting display of lava cracking between his skin around the edges of his face, and he attacks her. the two fight, and when jay inevitably beats chip, she spares him, but leaves knowing exactly what they have become*, and exactly what she needs to do about it**. (*arch enemies) (**kill or throw every single pirate in the deepest darkest prisons, including chip.)

mana!gillion and prime!chip and prime!jay attempt to stop the new villain that has finally become enough of a threat for heroes to be an adequate force of retaliation. the robotic figure is about fifteen feet tall, and greatly resembles gillion, with black, turquoise, and pink plates and pieces, like a full suit of armor. it is called The T1d3str1d3r, or The Tidstrider, or just The Strider. the names it is given are varied. it also has a pink, octopus-like robot that breaks free of it’s surface in order to join in on the fight.

at a certain point during the fight, the heroes are split up, and mana!gillion goes searching for his enemy in an alley, only to be met with a single glowing blue eye in the darkness, and a voice not unlike his own. this is where he properly meets the prime version of himself. when his foe steps out of the shadows, prime!gillian introduces himself. he’s working with a group of vigilantes, with the goal of doing good for the city, even if they have to do bad things to get there. but that’s not the whole of it, as prime!gillian is onto him. he knows that mana!gill isn’t meant to be on prime, he knows he’s from another world. and he’s barely able to finish his monologue before mana!gillion slams into him and they fight, now with prime!gill at much more of a disadvantage, having sent his mech off to fight prime!chip and jay.

ARC FIVE

after a few more, uh, incidents, the two gills come to a truce of sorts. they’re both the same person, kind of, so they’re kind of the only ones who Get It. and eventually, mana!gill takes prime!gill to meet with his friends properly, who much to his surprise, (and kind of disappointingly,) they really hit it off. mana!gillion isn’t sure why exactly he’s upset at this, but he suddenly feels like a fourth wheel to a friendship he had helped happen. and it doesn’t feel good.

eventually, though, prime!gillian takes his new allies to his secret base. (i have not decided what the secret base is yet.) they meet the prime versions of lizzie, (who keeps everyone on task,) caspian, (lizzie’s #1 supporter and enabler,) marshal john, (the muscle,) edyn, (here called eden, she’s an inventor and mechanic,) and finn, (resident weird old guy who’s really into biology, zoology, writing romance novels, helping his granddaughter with her tech, and, finally, the multiverse.) chip is incredibly excited to see lizzie, since they were really good childhood friends, and he hadn’t seen her since the black rose heroes all split up and retired. mana!gillion talks to prime!gillian and finn, and learns about what they’ve been doing (studying the multiverse and trying to steal the tech they need to travel between dimensions, without success,) why he shouldn’t be here, and why his home dimension needs him.

over on mana, mana!chip and mana!jay have gotten to the point where they command great numbers of their respective people, and have been sending letters back and forth in an attempt to negotiate territory and resources, to no avail. they’ve also both had some pretty wild makeovers.

ARC SIX

tensions are rising.

mana!gillion is feeling more and more distanced from his prime friends. he realizes just how alone he truly is. at the same time, prime!chip and prime!gillian are having a fight on a high rooftop, (mirroring riptide episode #15 but with a more angry-looking gill,) but they do work things out eventually, and the two have a tender moment looking out over the city lights. mana!gillion starts helping prime!finn seek out facilities to rob that might have the stuff they need to send gillion home. gillion doesn’t know where his morals and beliefs lie in a world so alien to him.

mana!chip and mana!jay are at war. at this point, they’ve had some sailing scuffles. but now they’re planning the big thing, a huge battle. jay is an admiral of the navy, and chip has command over all the pirates lizzie, his captain, has recruited to their cause. both have had family and friends feeding into their drives of vengeance, both, at this point, want the other dead. the location for the final battle between pirates and navy is set: a large island that used to be home to a bustling civilization, now mostly abandoned and overgrown. all that’s to be done now is to prepare the armies for the fight.

ARC SEVEN

prime!finn has warned mana!gillion of how dangerous it is to be away from who should have been his friends. neither have any idea of what’s actually happening on mana, but they have clues that it can’t be good. all gillion knows is that the people he’s SUPPOSED to be with, are in grave danger. and his friends on prime? they have their own gillian. they don’t need him. he feels unwanted. so he, accompanied by the grandberries as well as prime!chip and prime!jay, break into the place with the parts, beat up some guards or something, steal the things, and return to base so eden and finn can begin building the portal to mana.

unfortunately, the battle is beginning. pirate and navy ships gather on opposite sides of the island, countless people waiting for their leaders to send them out onto the soon-to-be battlefield.

ARC EIGHT

with the portal built and tested, (tested at least according to finn, when a lot of water came out,) mana!gillion steps through, and falls from the sky once more, this time into his homeworld.

it takes him a great deal of time, but eventually he finds out what’s happening, and realizes he has to move quick, or else he’d lose the two people he’s never met, and yet matter more to him than either of his whole worlds.

don’t ask how he gets there, idk, but when he arrives to the battlefield, the fight has gone on all day. the sun is setting, blood is seeping through the grass and dirt, and he lunges forth into the fray, parrying some blows and dodging others, in search of HIS chip and jay.

he finds them and uhhhh. stops them from killing eachother? yeah the ending is something i’m still very much unsure about. group healing arc is required though. yeah

again, this is a very rough first draft. in a more realized version of the story, there would be a villain, some actual subplots, a big conflict that is actually properly resolved on prime, and more stuff going on on mana. yeah 👍
