New (not really) Murder Drones Au!

This AU is called the Mercy Drones AU, created by my lovely boyfriend who gave me permission to share this to Tumblr! I helped with some of the concepts and the name!

Basically, while the humans were testing stuff out with Solver, they also made the "Mercy" program, an anti-virus for Solver. With episode 7 and the introduction of the patch, we kind of made it one in the same. anyway

The Mercy program is the result of the patch warping the solver mutation's genes/coding and essentially "purifying" it. Instead of bat wings, Mercy Drones have moth-like wings made of solar panels that sprout from their backs. Instead of mouths at the end of their tails, they have a strange, claw-like hand at the end of their tail. Nothing they "gain" from this mutation is organic. When they go full-Mercy mode, their 'screens' turn purely the color of their LEDs. These drones thrive in the sunlight

Wing shapes aren't always the same and can be based off of any moth species.

Within this AU, Thad has the Mercy Mutation, along with Alice and Lizzy (though hers is Dormant and has remained dormant thus far.) Lizzy and Thad got it from their late mom Izzy, who was once a zombie drone alongside Nori, Yeva, and Alice. (Thad's wings are based off of Luna moth wings, Lizzy's would be based off of Maple (or pink lemonade) moth wings)

The thought of this AU came up because I was losing my fucking mind over how much wasted potential Thad had, mostly focusing on episode 2. He got grabbed by Solver, and while All of the other worker drones it grabbed died immediately, he didn't, and it even acted scared when he threatened it and I was screaming about how it made no sense and there had to be more to Thad because of this.

In the au, this interaction with Solver activated his Mercy programming, fighting off Solver's influence. Soon after this, he did the ol "transformation" thing (see image), and it was during Episode 4 that he finally learned how to use the abilities the Mercy programming used. He wasn't in the bus, bro had to cling to the top of it as they went home.

In this au, Solver not only sent the DD's to Copper-9 to kill the drones but also to hunt down any Mercy Drones who were left there to neutralize the only threat to it's ultimate goal

I never got around to fully coloring this, but the outer "rim" of the wings are silver, and the inside of the wings are dark green, which looks more like a bright mint green in the sun. The inside wing colors change depending on the drone (For example, it would be dark brown in the dark and orange in the light for Alice)

When Mercy Drones are depraved of exposure to sunlight for long (and I mean long) periods of time, they grow sluggish, tired, and weak. For this reason, when Alice realized she would never see the sun again, she permanently removed her wings.

Some abilities include- - Drawing sun rays collected by their wings to create light daggers - Magnetizing their fingertips - Can create other things (from shields to drone repairs) out of their harvested energy

If you have any questions, my ask box is open!! (Extra doodles are under the cut)

The transformation is incredibly painful, hense the pool of oil in front of Thad here. He threw up because the pain was so agonizing.

The ending of Episode 4

Me? Planning on writing both of these and posting them on AO3? Noooo (yes. yes I am. stay tuned)

I wasn’t going to write this at first but I decided to make it a family fanfic after this comment.

LawLicht {90: “I’m not buying Ikea furniture again”} Fem Licht

“Lichtan, the last time I checked, we only had one daughter.” Hyde said when he saw the large box his subclasses dragged into the room. There was a picture of a bunk bed on the box. Their daughter was now seven and had outgrown her old bed. Licht went to purchase a new bed while Hyde was at work. He never expected her to bring back a bunk bed.

“Lucy saw this bed on display and said she wanted it. I couldn’t say no to her.” Licht admitted as she cut the tape with her key. She remembered how happy Lucy looked while she climbed on the bunk bed at Ikea. It was difficult to tell her little angel ‘no’. Their family was well off and she tended to spoil their daughter. She made sure to teach Lucy to value the things she had though.

Lucy skipped into the room while pulling a toy wagon full of plushies behind her. She stopped in front of the giant box. She pointed to the picture and spoke excitedly to her toys. “This will be our new fort! I get the top bunk and Mr. Bear will get the bottom. Don’t worry, I’ll come down to have a sleepover with everyone. Dad, pick us up so I can show Mr. Bear my new bed.”

“Whatever you want, Luce.” Hyde chuckled and lifted her into his arms and Licht opened the box. When she peered into the box, Lucy frowned with confusion. There were only wooden frames and beams where her bed should be. He could read her thoughts and said, “We need to build your bed. Dad will put it together so quickly that you’ll be able to play with your bunk bed in an hour.”

“Can I help you and Mom build it?” She asked eagerly and Hyde understood why Licht had trouble saying no to her all too well. He loved her smile and he didn’t want to see her disappointed. But he was worried about her hurting herself because the wooden parts were large and heavy. Hyde placed her on the ground and patted her head.

“I’m sorry, Sweetie. This is a job for adults.” Her smile fell at his answer. He lightly nudged her towards the door and said, “Go find Uncle Gil and play Angel Warriors with him while I make your bed. I’ll call you when I’m finished and you can—”

“Lucy, can you tell Uncle Gil to get the toolbox from the garage? All three of us will build this bunk bed as a family.” Licht said firmly and her words were mainly to Hyde. He couldn’t argue with her after Lucy cheered. She hugged her mother before she raced out of the room to find her uncle. Hyde waited until Lucy was down the hall before he turned back to Licht.

“She’s still a kid, Lichtan. We need to tell her ‘no’ to certain things. Even if she really wants to help us build this thing, we can’t let her. She could hurt herself. What if she accidentally drops a hammer onto her foot?” Hyde took her hand and tenderly stroked his thumb over her palm. “I don’t want you to injure your precious hands either.”

“You’re worrying too much, Silly Hedgehog. It’s just Ikea furniture and we merely need to put the parts together. I know how you feel but it’s good to build things with her.” Licht stared into the box and smiled. “I remember building a birdhouse with my parents once. It was fun. ‘See, Licht, you can create anything with these two hands,’ my father told me then. I want Lucy to learn that as well.”

“I guess we could let her do simple things like passing us screwdrivers. But no heavy lifting for either of you. Leave that to me!” Hyde pulled out a wooden panel easily and grinned at her. “I might have retired from being a demon and wrecking havoc on the world but I’m still as strong as ever. You wanna feel my arms?”

“Please, I’m still stronger than you. I haven’t retired from being an angel and I train every day.” Licht jokingly kicked him. Then she helped him empty the box and set all the pieces on the ground. While Hyde was reading over the instructions, Lucy returned with Gil. She had the toolbox in her wagon and she smiled proudly when she presented it to her parents.

“I carried the toolbox all by myself! Well, Gil helped me take it down from the shelf. But it was too high for me to reach. When will my wings appear so I can fly and reach high places?” She looked hopeful as she asked the question. He chuckled to himself and looked to Licht. She would tell her daughter the wildest tales of being an angel. He didn’t see anything wrong with encouraging Lucy’s imagination and tapped her nose.

“You already have angel wings. They’re just small and invisible right now so you can’t fly with them yet. You’ll be strong enough to fly one day. Thank you for bringing us the tools. Once Dad is finish reading these instructions, we’ll get started on your bunk bed.”

“You’re so slow. This angel has already figured out how to build this bunk bed without instructions. I only need to look at the picture on the box and recreate it. Please pass me a screwdriver, Lucy.” Licht was already forcing two parts together and comparing them to the picture. “See, Lucy, this will be your bottom bunk!”

“You’re amazing, Lichtan, but we should really go by the instructions. According to this, that’s the base for the top bunk.” Hyde pointed out and tried to unscrew the back of she just put in. “This is the board we need to use for the bottom bunk.”

“These two pieces look exactly the same! I don’t see why we can’t interchange them.” Licht swatted his hand away and tried to replace the screw he took out. It soon turned into a battle over the screwdriver and Hyde help the tool over his head. She pouted at him and then jumped to take back the screwdriver. “Ikea instructions are so vague we might as well go off the picture!”

They stopped their little debate when they noticed Lucy doodling on the box. “Mr. bear doesn’t like heights so I’ll put his bed here. The stairs should be here. Then the shelves go here.”

“What are you doing?” Licht knelt next to her.

“I’m redesigning my bunk bed! This way, it’ll be more fun for my friends.” She smiled innocently at them. Her smile was so innocent and it made their heart melt. They quickly forgot their disagreement and focused on making Lucy happy. 

After an hour, they finished and their daughter was happily bouncing on the bed. Her parents were exhausted and sat on the bottom bunk. Licht leaned against Hyde’s arm and closed her eyes. He brushed her bangs off her forehead and kissed her hair. “You know, when we work together, we create the most wonderful things.”

“I don’t know how we were able to attached a slide to it but we did it.” They had to go to Ikea again to purchase an indoor play set to combine it with the bunkbed. She nestled into his shoulder. “I’m not buying Ikea furniture again. Fuck their instructions.”

“I don’t blame you.” He laughed softly to himself.

I am Hyde and my bf is Licht when it comes to building furniture. Instructions are in the box for a reason.
