#ive plotted in my head all the way up to deciding who the osirian would be (still havent) and gotta say. the results are Very Satisfying

[fakeosirian]

for your consideration: joy is the chosen one au but nina is the one the society mistake the birthday mistake with (that's why she gets the scholarship!)/kidnap shortly into the year, at least long enough for her to make friends with fabian so he pulls a patricia and goes all WHERE'S NINA while joy and patricia are meeting up with sarah and finding the rollers and thinking he's kinda crazy for obsessing over that girl that probably just got homesick and left

(bonus - amber also getting invested and helping fabian because she would want to help nina in any universe <3)
