Mirabelle vs the World AU

(Not a Scott Pilgrim AU, sorry to get your hopes up.) Sure, in canon Mira is seen as the Savior of Vaugarde. The Hero. The Chosen One. But what if she wasn't? What if, through no fault of her own, she was seen as the villain by the very people she was fighting to protect?

Read more below to see a (very long) explanation!

So, I was thinking (which is always a dangerous pursuit when I'm involved) that it was a good thing that Vaugarde was such an accepting culture - an another world Mirabelle's story could be much different. So I decided to make that concept myself!

A couple of massive changes to the story would have to be made. In this AU, the King won't bother warming up with tearing through other cities or villages in Vaugarde, and instead attacks Dormont first and only Dormont. Perhaps he was practicing his abilities for a while in the woodlands around the House, giving Euphrasie time to secretly investigate why and how all these animals were mysterioiusly freezing in time, and just as soon as she perfected the blessing he attacked for real.

From the perspective of the rest of the country, an inescapable curse is spreading across the land with nobody to help slow its crawl and an entire House full of the most capable Housemaidens in the land was completely decimated, with no forewarning, and no clear culprit in sight. Except from, of course, the lone Housemaiden stumbling out of its gates, completely uninjured and unfrozen. Such a convenient scapegoat - not least because the hulking sobbing giant in armour she claims to have attacked the house is as ridiculous a concept as it is physically impossible! Mirabelle (and eventually the rest of the party) has to deal with the ramifications of being the only people able to save a country that hates your guts. Should they try to redeem herself in the eyes of people determined to blame the party for their suffering, or should they lean into their villainous image to save the people from themselves?

Buuuuut that's not the only interesting part of the au. Because of her newfound status as Public Enemy No1, every member of the party starts out as a minor or major antagonist that Mirabelle ends up befriending! I thought that it was a shame that the only RPG trope missing from the main cast ISAT is the 'enemies to allies', so this is the perfect opportunity to explore that idea! Whether it's escaping from a Defenders' prison cell, recovering stolen orbs or running from an angry mob, pitchforks and all, the journey to defeating the King just got a lot more complicated. Feel free to send me asks about this au or make fanfic/fanart about it yourself - I know I will!

And I think it's kind of scary actually, to find someone who so effortlessly can make you smile, over and over again

TEXTS FROM LEVI: ROBINNNNNN CMON AM BORED let’s go out… hellooooooooo? well i’m still going to the diner tomorrow if u wanna meet me there

[Robin sighed, tempted to block Levi-.. though he couldn’t bring himself to do it] [message notification]

MESSAGE FROM ASTER: hey Robin, i hope you don’t mind me messaging you outta the blue, i swear i’m not stalking you ahaha i just wanted to say that you should totally ignore what everyone was on about today, like they just don’t get it y’know? if it’s true which i guess it might not be but either way…… my aunt has issues too like, if you ever wanna talk to someone who gets it you can sorry if i’m overstepping or whatever idk and sorry for calling you a loser a couple times, that was pretty shitty of me you don’t have to mssg me back or anything i guess i just wanted to say smth and now i have so, yeah…

[Robin stared at Aster’s rambling message for a good five minutes, unsure what to make of it; it was impossible to gauge his classmate’s sincerity with the gaping chasm that was the internet between them-.. surely, he was taking the piss] Robin: What the fuck.

sometimes I think I don't have many thoughts or feelings about Ema, but then I think about her returning from Europe after her studies, failing to get the job she's dedicated her life to since she was a teenager, finding out that the man who saved both her and her sister got disbarred for submitting false evidence, being assigned to the prosecutor who got him disbarred, and running to find him only to be greeted by this slippery, silent stranger who won't talk about what he did or what really happened, and who's behaving just like her sister did for years, and I think about how powerless she is to help him because he won't let her, because he won't trust her, just as Lana hadn't for so much of her life, and how he should know better than to do that to her, but he doesn't or maybe he just doesn't care, and I think about Ema who came back full of hope and conviction only for that all to turn to dust in her hands in a matter of days, and I realise I do think about her a lot actually.

Something something maybe Xue Yang was able to wield Xiao Xingchen's sword so easily and even in tandem with his own sword because XXC still held love for him even after everything even in the last moments love is the last thing in the spirit-trapping pouch ahaha I made myself sad

[oh-dameron]

AU where Wei Wuxian awakens after the soul sacrifice but not the Yiling Patriarch. Because Wei Wuxian died the first time he was thrown into the Burial Mounds and every shred of his demonic cultivation was due to his powers as a resentful ghost; powers he no longer has, you see, because now he's alive again.

Felt like drawing some Telink from my fic Shades of the Sea, because well, how can I not. Just look at them???
