#immortality au

[avatarofcats]

Lots of sad fics about MC inevitably getting older and dying, but consider this; accidental immortality? I’d like to imagine everyone getting stressed and worried because they know you’ll die in less than 100 years, and we all know how demons don’t really notice the passage of time in the same way that humans do, and it cracks me up to imagine the boys celebrating your 50th birthday to only just realise you’ve not aged a day since they met? satan peering at you in a perplexed way from across the dinner table as you reach forward with a perfectly youthful hand to cut the cake for everyone,for him to just reach out and grab your hand, inspecting it for signs of aging as mammon grumbles in the back about “hey, whaddya think ya doin’, chump? Ya ain’t their number one-“ to have him wave a hand to indicate silence as he looks at you with a harrowing gaze. “You’re 50, right? Shouldn’t you.. look…different?” His punctuated confusion just sets off a bomb in everyone else’s heads as they realise that truly, their darling mc hasn’t aged a day? How could anyone have not noticed? Cackling tbh

been in a immorcation (immortal/reincarnation au) mood recently. i dont know if i shared this before actually but either way enjoy some law being a mess

-

Zoro is lightning fast, within one moment and the next he is crouching in front of Law, his one eye as intense as laser. Law presses back against the wall and suddenly becomes aware of the intense burning pain in his arm. He looks down to see his sleeve soaking with blood.

“Oh shit.” He says, wanting to lift his arm only to have the stabbing pain race through his entire body. Zoro’s hand grabs his wrist and holds him still as the other rips into the hole in his sleeve. “Hey! Ow fuck.” He protests before he sees the wound. “I got shot.” 

Zoro tilts his head to the side. “Just a little. Hold still.” He says, reaching over Law’s head for a dish towel to press against the wound. The rough fabric burns against the ripped flash and Law flinches despite himself.

Zoro wipes the blood off and Law dares a glance. “Oh thats so much worse when it’s yourself.” He mutters and Zoro snorts before he stands. “I need stitches.” 

“I know.” Zoro tells him as he moves about the tiny kitchen area of his boat, flicking on a kettle. 

“Please tell me you have a first aid kit.” Law says, letting his head fall against the wall.

“Why would I have a first aid kit?” Zoro asks as he rummages around a cupboard and unearths a sewing kit.

Law whines miserably. “How did this happen?”

“Police shot at me. Ricochet probably hit you.” Zoro explains and pulls a face. “Stupid guns get faster every year and I’m out of practise.” He says like its a completely normal sentence to say.

Law laughs weakly. “You deflected gunfire with swords that’s still pretty impressive. Didn’t know that was possible.” Zoro makes a dismissive noise, pours the boiling water from the kettle into a pot on the stove to keep it cooking and Law closes his eyes so he doesn’t have to see him desinfect a sewing needle in boiling water. 

“At least it was a small caliber. Older bullets would have broken your arm.” Zoro says.

“Speaking from experience?” Law blinks and sees Zoro stick his entire arm into the hot water.

“Yeah.” Zoro’s arm is coated in black when he takes it out of the water, needle and thread pinched between his fingers and a dripping steaming towel in the other.

Law gapes. “Your arm-“ He starts to say as the black reteats from Zoro’s arm, leaving only his hands and the needle covered in it. “Is that also part of the immortality thing?” He asks as Zoro crouches back down.

“No, that’s armament haki.” He says and presses the hot towel against Law’s wound. Las inhales sharply through his teeth, legs kicking out without his control but Zoro’s grip is firm. “It makes my skin harder and whatever I am pouring energy into. It’ll make the needle sharper.” He explains and if Law weren’t bleeding right now he would make fun of that concept.

“You- you said that before. Haki. In my apartment.” He says to think about anything else but the pain and the fact that he got fucking shot. 

“That was a different kind.”

“How many are there?”

“Three.”

“Armament and what was the one you used back then?”

“Haki that makes you pass out.” 

Law takes a moment to give Zoro a glance. “Really?”

Zoro just hums, focused on sewing Law’s skin back together. 

“Who came up with that name?”

“Dunno, never asked.”

“I could come up with a better name.”

“You do that.” Zoro says, looking at him and grabbing a pair of scissors to snap the end of the thread. And Law realizes he’s already done sewing the wound.

“You’re fast.” He says, looking down to examine the work. Five neat and even stitches stand out starkly against his skin. “And good.” Law admits. It took him two years of med school to sew skin that neatly.

Zoro presses the burning towel back against the skin making Law hiss in pain. “I had practice. Mostly on clothing though.” He says and rips apart what appears to be white sheets.

“Really?” Law asks with a whine as Zoro uses the scraps to wrap his arm.

“We’re heading somewhere I can pick up some supplies. Calm down.” He tells him and Law scoffs.

“I think I am remarkably calm considering the circumstances.” He says.

Zoro blows out a breath from his nose. “True,” He admits. “Are you going to pass out?” He asks, looking at Law with faint amusement.

Law squints. Everything feels swimmy as the adrenaline fades. “Are you using the makes-you-pass-out haki?”

“No, do you want me to?”

“No, I think I have it covered actually.” 

“I’ll wake you when we get to land.”

hi i would LOVE to hear more about the immortality fic if you'd like to share? <3

This one will most likely be toward the end of Febuwhump because it’s one of two that might get away from me in length if I let it. Basically the clones are beings who don’t age, and they settle on Ahch-To slightly before the Jedi. Obi-Wan crashes on the planet, and Cody and his brothers fish him out of the ocean, and he tells them that he’s looking for a place for his family to settle. The Jedi join the clones and over the centuries the clones come to be protectors of the Jedi who always seem to find their way back to them in each life. Of course, not every life is ideal, and things sometimes go terribly wrong. It will be snippets of Codywan’s lives together with cameos from other clones and their Jedi.

After a deal gone wrong, Regina finds herself cursed with the gift of eternal life. In hopes of finding a cure for her dilemma, she finds herself face to face with woman called Emma Swan, who is also looking for the man who has made them both immortal. Together, they must travel the world in search of answers (and maybe even fall in love along the way).

this is about to be such a long fic lol but chapter 2 is up <3

[definitelynotgideon]

Immortality

King of Death!Gideon Azulyss

I haven't talked about very many of my AUs on here, but this is one of my favorites.

I love the idea that Gideon always embodies some sort of 'death' symbolism in the stories he's in. I've played with ideas and written a shorter one-shot about him being Genya's reaper. So when I started world building with a friend after being *way* too excited about Epic, I knew I wanted for him to eventually be a nod to Hades/the Hades equivalent.

I talk more below lol. Just thought it was getting long-

The butterfly in his hand is significant in more than one way. He's normally scared of butterflies because in his nightmares, his loved ones are devoured by hoards of black butterflies. He's convinced that they can not only eat people but trap their souls, being able to literally reap them from bodies by their probosci. Lol.

However, butterflies have a lot of symbolism regarding the afterlife and are sometimes theorized to be able to go between realms. They are often regarded by people as visitors of passed on souls. So the black butterfly eventually becomes a companion for Gideon, helping him get over his fear and eventually accept his upcoming role as King of the dead.

Anyhoosers.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk lol

[mischiefisme-amess]

I am a sucker for Au’s that are so far away removed from the original, that it’s basically an original story, but with all my beloved characters and relationships.

Anyways, immortal Dee Au. It’s him right after clawing his way up from his grave after the first time he died. Did I mention I live for angst?

Yes I drew him in his normal clothes, because I really think he would hate being buried in a suit, so he was buried in what he was comfortable in.

Basically the Au is just: Dee’s having one hell of a time and can not catch a break. Also, how do you approach your family after they buried you like a month ago?

I don’t think I’m going to write anything of this, but if someone wishes to, please tell me so I can read it.

Please don’t post my art to other sites, thank you.

I have been thinking So Much about immortal Exile and Revan (because getting cut off from the thing that binds all living things in the way she did messed up Meetra's connection to mortality, and the sith magic kinda stuck to Revan)

Because like...they're tragic lesbians; they just fly around being Space Mums together; Meetra gets to watch and nourish the order she planted the seeds for grow into something beautiful and better than the order that exiled her; Revan gets to enact the social justice she justly deserves to enact; they're both incredibly powerful but the millennia of time they have lived had limited how much they access it

(Also then Meetra gets to play an actual part in the swtor storyline and I can and will get into that if asked)

(I will also talk about my swtor OCs, I've been playing that game all week after a few months hiatus and I am once again Obsessed)

But back to the immortality AU - Meetra is Yoda's teacher, and also Tarre Vizsla's (although that one is kinda a joint effort between her and Revan)

Meetra goes through Exile Arc 2: Electric Boogaloo after she gives the order to Bastila, and starts travelling the edge of the galaxy, searching for a sign of Revan but also slightly drowning herself in her Perpetual Self-Hatred™ until one of the swtor MCs finds her and drags her back into Galactic Politics

I haven't read enough high republic to know how they'd affect that yet lol

some more immortal/reincarnation au. ive had some brainworms the last few days

“You look like you could use a good meal.” Law looks up from the cradle of his hands. A man in a chef's uniform looks down at him, holding a deep plate of some kind of rice dish. His chef’s coat is unbuttoned at the top, hanging open to reveal a stained white shirt. Bright blonde hair covers one eye.

Law reaches out to grab the plate. “Thanks, what do I owe you?” He asks as he puts the plate down, patting himself down for the wad of cash Zoro threw at him. The cook waves him off.

“As long as you don’t mind that I smoke.” He says and sits down, taking a cigarette out from behind his ear. 

Law actually hates the smell of cigarettes but it would be rude to refuse at this point so he just digs in.  The moment the first spoonful hits his tongue he realizes how ravenous he feels.

The cook stretches out his legs, crossing them at the ankles and lights his cigarette with a cheap looking plastic lighter that has a company logo printed on the side. He takes the first slow drag, savoring the taste of it and letting the smoke drift into the air slowly.

“So, what’s got you so worried?” The cook asks nonchalant, looking out into the pier.

Law chews slowly, sighing after he swallows. “You wouldn’t believe me.”

“Try me.” The cook says, winking at him when Law gives him a raised brow. “I’m a cook in the middle of the ocean. I’ve heard all kinds of things before.”

Law looks down at his plate. He’s dug through to the other side, the white porcelain of the place peeking out through the grains.

“Okay.” He inhales deeply. “I met a guy at the museum a week ago, he broke into my apartment a few days later armed with three swords and said he was immortal and wanted me to fix that because apparently I did that to him. I sure did not do that but I felt bad so I looked for more information about how to help him, found a lead and told him about it but then the cops showed up and shot at his boat and we had to take off and now I’m in the middle of nowhere and he told me to go back home.” Law finishes his tirade by stuffing a spoonful of food in his mouth.

The cook’s cigarette has half its size in ash hanging from the tip as the man blinks. “Huh.” He says before taking the cigarette out from between his lips and flicking the ash into a tray on the table. “You got me.” He snorts. “That’s a new one. Usually I’m just talking people out of cheating on their wives.”

Law ducks his head, stabbing his spoon into the rice. “You asked.” He says, pulling his shoulders up.

“And you believe that he’s immortal?” The cook asks.

Law glances up with a sigh, eyes losing focus. “He made me stab him and it healed immediately. So, yeah.”

“He made you stab him?” The cook must have a remarkable threshold for bullshit because he sounds entirely sincere as he asks.

“Yep.” Law replies, lifting his hands to gesture and abandoning it halfway through. “He thought me doing it would- kill him. I guess.”

“Because you cursed him. Or your ancestor or whatever.” The cook asks, pointing at him with the cigarette between his fingers. Law nods and makes a vague affirmative noise causing the cook to snort again. “Pretty stupid idea.”

“He’s-“ Law shrugs and looks down at the table, the wood grain is puffy from moisture, former straight planks warped until they leave large gaps between each other. “He seemed pretty desperate.”

The cook hums and looks out ahead. “Must be lonely. Being immortal and all that.” He ponders.

Law hums and drags a hand over his face. 

“And now you’re headed home?” He asks.

“I should.” Law says. “I barely know this guy and who knows what else I run into if I follow him.”

The cook blows out smoke.  “True, what else is real now?” He glances at Law from the corner of his eye. “You don’t want to go home?”

“I do.” Law groans and rakes a hand through his hair.

“You’re not responsible for the guy, you know. He’s immortal, he’s going to be fine.”

“Well yes but-“ Law digs his nails into the wood. “Here’s the thing.” He says and turns to the cook. “I’ve had this dream. Even before I met this guy. And it was about something he told me about from his past. And maybe it’s just my brain playing tricks on me but what if I’m really that guy that did this to him? And then I go home and start remembering something that could help him and he’s fuck knows where?”

The cook nods thoughtfully, his eyebrows creased with sympathy. “I see.” He says, scratching his chin. He takes a long drag of his cigarette. “Well, do you have anything at home that won’t wait for you?”

Law frowns. “What do you mean?”

“A partner, a parent that’s about to die, dream job?” The cook asks. “Because you can always go home.”

“You think I should go with him?”

“I think you should finish your meal.” The cook says, finishing his cigarette. He extinguishes the last glimmering stump in the ashtray. “But if you want to get home, fastest way is taking a ferry to Stopover, sea train will take you anywhere.” He stands, stretching his hands over his head. Law inhales deeply. Closes his eyes. Lets the breeze and the noise of the Baratie market wash over him. “Next time you come back here you should tell me how that whole immortality thing turned out.” The cook adds with a smirk and Law sighs in defeat.

He’s already made his decision.

Non transmitigation au where Shen Yuan auditions for a part in PIDW on a lark when it gets a live action adaptation, not thinking he’ll actually get a part (he just wanted to be able to say he did it okay? He was dated okay??! He was not dared he just thought it’d be neat, but he’ll admit to nothing.) and, much to his horror, ends up cast as Shen Qingqiu.

He somehow accidentally makes Shen Qingqiu so likable that he’s the most popular character. The fandom goes feral over him. He becomes famous. New fans are joining the bandwagon in droves to watch him.

And all the while, Shen Yuan is frantically trying to pretend he isn’t the most notorious anti fan troll to clown on the internet. He has never heard of PIDW before what do you mean Peerless Cucumber whomst?
