I love a good chance at redemption, but sometimes it requires a bit of an Isekai to make it work.

We have young adult Max Villareal (They/Them) from my second save file/world 2 who is an evil, jealous, self-absorbed mess of a sim. On the surface, they seem to be perfectly content with their life, but deep down they have a huge layer of self-loathing and a regret they've never spoken to a soul... a regret with a name: Lucas Munch.

(lots and lots of words under the cut - believe it or not, this is the condensed version of their story)

They admired Lucas and liked him more than they wanted to admit. While they entered into their teens with high self-confidence, the self-loathing was also there. They were tempted to try to shoot their shot with Lucas, but in the end decided not to. Lucas was a sweet, wholesome boy who enjoyed the outdoors and was loved by all. Max was... Max. Why would Lucas bother with them when he could do so much better? So they watched as the boy fell in love and eventually got married, but deep down they wish they had of tried even if it didn't work out.

In another world (Save file 1/world 1), Lucas Munch (They/Them) was just kind of existing. Life was rough to them, and a lot of their passion for things like gardening was gone. They had adored their world's Max ever since they were both children, and once the two came of age Lucas confessed their feelings. At first it seemed like things would be good, but a lot of Max's peers gave him grief for the relationship. As a result, Max became deeply closeted and hid his feelings and relationship. He treated Lucas poorly as well, but the young sim refused to let him go thinking that once they were out of school and away from the cliques, things would get better.

That chance never came. When Jacques Villareal died of old age, Max decided to go rogue as a criminal rather than joining the "career". The teen made the wrong person mad, and without the protection of Jacques and "family", he met a grisly and violent end. Not long afterwards, Lucas also lost his mother and witnessed the death of a partner of Gunther's. They coped the best way they could, and ended up in a relationship with an older sim.

A curious Casey Goth in world 1 miscast a Necrocall spell which resulted in ripping world 2's Max into her world. After she panicked and fled to report what happened to the sages, Max was distressed to find Von-Windenburg manor abandoned and in disrepair. Desperate for a familiar face, they went to the Munch family home. Gunther's husband directed them to Evergreen Harbor where Lucas was living with their partner, Wolfgang, and his partner.

After calming a VERY panicked Lucas down (thankfully, they were home alone or else Wolfgang would have greeted Max with his fists), they were able to explain what happened. Lucas figured this made as much sense as any of the other weird things that had happened in this world (Johnny Zest is a werewolf and Malcolm Landgraab was a vampire for a bit).

They've taken the time to rebuild/build their friendship and even built up a romance as well. For Max, it's the second chance they always wanted and are now doing their best to be a better sim. For Lucas, this Max was one that was actively working to be a good partner who wasn't ashamed of them and encouraged them to pursue their passions. Max's own love of gardening helped revitalize Lucas, and now the house features so many garden pots and planters both inside and out. Lucas also joined the botanist career!

Oh and Lucas' no good deadbeat older partner got ditched and beat up by Wolfgang (which is something he had been wanting to do for quite some time). >_>b

Now, in Max's world, they had been abducted by aliens once before... and now in this world they got abducted again! This time the abduction resulted in a little bouncing green girl named Abbie. Both the Watcher and Lucas were surprised to see the infant had blonde hair! Max and Lucas are both bonding well with their out of this world baby!

If you made it through all of that, then thank you for letting me info dump/gush at you for these two. <3
