I think I've decided on "Royal Nanny AU" for the name

oh, also there's this ↓↓

Royal Nanny AU

tbh the shipping is more tangential, since I mainly wanna focus on the dynamic with Vox & Charlie in this au, but it is there in the periphery

at first it starts as harmless flirting on Lucifer & Lilith's part. Vox is objectively attractive and taking very good care of their child, it makes sense that they'd both have some interest.

it isn't until Lilith puts together that 'oh wait, this might be bordering on unethical' that anything actually happens. she sits the boys down one night to hash out an addendum to Vox's contract, ensuring that he'll never be compelled to follow any orders of a sexual nature from either of them.

Vox (the clueless fucking workaholic) is immediately like "wait, that's an option?!" and things progress from there.

it's purely a friends-with-benefits arrangement between the married couple and their nanny for years, until one hilarious moment when they all separately but simultaneously realize that feelings have entered the mix.

it's all very domestic from there up until the canon timeline.

I might sketch out some moments with the throuple in the future if the mood strikes, but for now, have this peace offering.

I'd like to say yes... but I fear she may, in fact, be worse.

Charlie in this au is more confident overall, and more comfortable with public speaking, because she's grown up with Vox as her number one cheerleader - but her reality is a tad skewed because he's so protective over her and rarely lets bad news reach her at all.

I didn't want to change Charlie's personality too much - I like her just the way she is. in this version, her naivety instead just comes from the fact that she's been sheltered by a nanny/overlord with an iron grip on the media and public opinion of the royal family.

I am once again incredibly predictable with the au tropes I like

I fell down the StaticApple rabbit hole and somehow arrived at "Vox makes a deal with the royal family after his breakup with Alastor in exchange for power and accidentally discovers the power of love"

also this would technically be Lucifer/Lilith/Vox, since at this point they're still in a happy marriage - Vox just gets to be included. idk what the ship name for that is, so I've been tentatively going with RoyalStatic??

the main focus of the au is Charlie and Vox though (bc again, I am predicable in the tropes and dynamics I enjoy)

it's never been confirmed, I don't think, but I read somewhere that canon!Charlie is a couple hundred years old in the show, so this definitely falls in au territory - she'd be born much later & is still a toddler when Vox is taken into the royal household

the "I'll teach you everything" meme redraw from twt ehehe
