#toaf au

[kiwibirb1]

Yahaha guess what motherfuckers (sorry I get an intense urge to say motherfuckers after saying yahaha it's affectionate) NEW AU BUT PLOT TWIST ITS JUST WV BUT THE FORGERS ARE DEAD

Sooo first off we start with the basics. It's WV canon up until Sasha meets the Forgers (so anne and marcy are the same in this AU (so far)). However, this time, instead of arriving to an empty snail shell and an overturned wagon, she arrives to an empty snail shell, a destroyed wagon, and what's left of some poor axolotls. She fights the herons, it goes slightly better bc no one to distract her but she still loses eye, dies, does the whole powers thing. This time, however, she somehow finds the strength to hobble into the ruined house, where she finds patches herself up and collapses onto the couch. Wake up in the middle of the night to whimpers coming from the basement. He goes down the stairs, sword out and ready, to find a little blue axolotl tadpole shivering in the corner, alone and scared. Points are connected immediately, and he goes to comfort the poor baby. "Where's my ma?" "I'm sorry."

Yeah so Sasha feels guilty now bc if he hadn't stopped to check out that mushroom he probably would have gotten there soon enough to save them. So the best course of action is obviously to adopt the child. Sasha and Finley (the name he manages to coax out) woo! So yeah events take. A lot longer bc now he's busy raising a child and being on the run so girls don't reunite until they're 18 (two years later than WV). Finley is idk 8-10 haven't really decided on age yet I think.

Stuff under the cut kinda accidentally became an almost fic so yeah it got pretty long so cut for your convenience. It's basically just the girls first meeting. Anne catches sasha, finley saves him, marcy catches finley, sasha reveal but not anne and marcy, sasha and finely escape.

Anyway Anne has finally caught the notorious 'Wandering Vagabond' (Sash had to do a lot more stealing to make sure Finley was properly fed okay) and is about to start monologuing or something idk when all of a sudden she's hit in the bad arm with a hmm we'll decide on the weapon later anyway Anne is hit and while she's distracted this random 9 year old (lets go for a nice middle ground here) jumps out and starts to untie Sash. They free the Wandering Vagabond, and Anne is like "Wait, kid! You don't have to help them if they kidnapped you! We can get you back to your parents!" Finley turns around stops for a sec, as does Sasha. (Although for different reasons. Why does that voice sound so familiar?...) Finley both signs and shouts at the same time, "I ain't kidnapped! Pinky saved me!" Anne snorts, leaning back and crossing her arms. The trees rustle, and Sasha begins to look anxious. She goes to grab Finley's arm, to tug the young axolotl along in their escape, but all of a sudden there is a twang and a fwoosh and Finley is in a net, pinned up to tree right beside Anne. Sasha growls, signing angrily as a dark shape leaps out of the trees behind her. "You better give me back my kid." Marcy laughs, and Sasha freezes once more, though it is much shorter this time as she has already pulled out her sword, and is backing up, struggling to keep both assailants in her one-eyed line of sight. Marcy giggles, and her eyes flash orange for a moment before she frowns and it goes away. "Look, we won't hurt the kid, (Al don't you dare) just return them to their parents." Sasha spits out, her hands full, "Her parents are dead. Now give me back my kid, and I might let you leave here alive, you [some sort of human realm specific swear to tip them off idk]." Anne and Marcy both freeze. (Oh yeah fyi they're all wearing hoods and shit so each of the two groups thinks the other is some sort of newt. and puberty for the voices explanation.) Marcy in her eternal clumsiness accidentally fires a crossbow shot, ripping Sasha's hood off and revealing what is definitely not a newt. Sasha's eyes widen and she breaks off towards the net, slicing through it in one hack of her sword. Finley leaps, kicking Anne in the face, and she stumbles to the ground as Sasha and Finley escape into the woods, leaving behind two dazed newts who are definitely not newts.

ahaha wow okay so thats long but um. yeah. What do I call this bc at first I thought Wandering Vagabonds bc y'know theres two but i would def mess up the tag soo hm. what to do what to do taps fingers thoughtfully. um almost just did Heron and the Fox (y'know like that one fable) but then remembered Finley is blue not orange like my brain keeps saying she is. Whatever Sasha has a child now

[kiwibirb1]

More meetup au stuff because my brain keeps making the sashas extra angsty-

Basic general thing here but the party (which is what I'm calling the entire group think d&d) grows in the order I come up with the aus. Like in the beginning it was just canon and CiH, then BT joined, and so on. (I'm trying to think up some sort of plot but for now it's just an excuse to make them interact.) So the ToaF girls are the most recent additions. Also ages so from oldest to youngest we got BT (34 ish), canon (23ish), ToaF (19-18), WV (16ish), CiH (14ish), and CF (13ish). CiH is only older bc they spent a little longer in Hyrule than canon did in Amphibia (and by extension CF).

Okay now that the housekeeping is out of the way time to make WV!Sasha sad heh (ugh still stuck on their nicknames. Sasha will prob be Vagabond but i dont know what to do for anne and marcy...). So even though he's not the oldest, he kinda became the groups navigator bc he had traveled the most. He like calls put shit that's ahead, but it's always really gruff and pretty much all the speaking he does. Rest of the group just assumes he's shy or something, but he sure don't act it. And his Marcy and Anne are constantly mentioning conversations they had the previous night, despite no one hearing a single word from any of them. Anyway Heron and Domino are practicing their sign one day (everyone in amphibia knows it, most especially the lower classes. Since accidents are so much more common with frogs and toads and Idk other reasons im tryna worldbuild here okay) and Vagabond walks by them and waves. But Heron realizes that the reason she thought Vagabond always waved a little funny is bc it's not actually a wave its hello in sign! (they're like slightly different okay?) Heron tests her theory by signing something to Vagabond and he automatically signs back. So then Heron, Domino, and Vagabond are holding an entire conversation in sign and both the BTs are realizing "holy shit this kid is the exact opposite of shy" so one of them asks why they don't talk more and Vagabond awkwardly explains how he prefers signing but figured the rest of the group didn't know it. So yeah. Vagabond was also like really happy when ToaF joined because ToaF!Sasha was also fluent (WV!Marcy wasn't completely, or at least as fluent as Sasha, same with BT) so he could hold conversations with extra words and shit.

Hmmm oh! All the Sasha's with an eye scar have slightly different ones. WV's is two slash marks right over her eye, going towards her nose, that have nice clean edges because Rosie helped make sure it healed properly. ToaF has two slash marks as well, but they go away from her nose, and are much more jagged bc no Rosie to help. BT has one long thin one going from her hairline to that one spot at the edge of your jaw. Knife wound hehe

Oh yeah and theres also #kiwi kills anne again which technically isn't an au but it happens often enough that it got a tag

Okay someones gonna have to remind me to update this whenever I make new aus lol. If you see any other tags, its probably someone else's awesome au that you should go check out

[kiwibirb1]

Haha so au meetup right? Where I throw all my aus together to have funny conversations? Great Great yeah so my most recent au, the alt version of WV where the Forgers are dead. Mhm you see where I'm going with this?

ToaF girls have joined the gang. Them and WV recognize all the similarities between their adventures (all the Sashas are wondering if this is what would have happened if they hadn't stayed with Grime too now), and start comparing. ToaF were in amphibia for like 2-3 years longer than WV (and also didn't really stay on earth. I'll talk about that later.) Anne's are comparing arm braces, marcys are comparing core possessions, the usual. The Sashas though? They have one key difference. Timing. ToaF brings up Finley, how rambunctious the little kiddo is, how great she is to have around. WV laughs, and mentions Isley, waiting for the other to fill the gap. Silence. "Y'know, Finley's sister?" Oh. ToaF's eyes widen, and she quietly explains the empty snail shell, the destroyed wagon, the remnants left behind. The house, silent but for small whimpers in the basement, a child alone and orphaned by the herons. Oh. WV tightens his grip on the purple sword, a sibling to someone he might have never known.

Yeah. WV is kinda mad at ToaF for a while, because he had gotten there fast enough why couldn't she, and Toaf agrees with them. She had proof now of what haunted her thoughts every night as she watched over her kid, a kid that never should have been hers.

Hehe this has been swirling around my head all day glad I finally typed it out

[kiwibirb1]

okay so i lied no white wolfhound instead prob ToaF? its been rotating in my brain a bunch and i also wanna start writing WV again so hopefully this will get me in the mood

[kiwibirb1]

In honor of the snirds I shall send a feather.

🪶

Happy snirdsday! Feather is ToaF, and since I've already kinda posted about that one, I'm just gonna do more general thoughts about it! So I was thinking about WV earlier, and of course that meant I got distracted and started thinking about Toaf and I think I might actually write that one? Idk but if I do I think it would be in a slightly different format than WV. Because I'm thinking that it's maybe shown mostly through flashbacks? Like they're at some undertimied point in the future, talking about their past yknow. Like for example marcy says something like "remember how we first found each other?" And sasha laughs and then bam flashback yknow. And so like most of the fic is these flashbacks but you can kinda tell that they're doing something that's making them think of the past in the bg but it's kinda just like plotline B yknow not the main focus. Anyway thank you for endugling my rambling Wr!

[kiwibirb1]

The biggest difference, early on at least, between WV and ToaF would really just be that ToaF took his time, expecting a somewhat hard fight, not rushing in as WV did. Patience is the only reason they are any different.

One learned patience in the wilds, the other in a home. One rushed into a battle they could not win, costing them dearly, yet saving others. The other took their time, yet still lost, but there were no others to save. One was treated and cared for and shown love, the other treating themself and showing care and love for another. Both stay, but for vastly different reasons, but are they really that different? Their family is here now, whether that be a family of 4 or 1.
