Cup of Fics

I remember how I freaked out when the old Tatalov trailer came out...

When really it was Atsushi who fished that man out of a river, threw him over his shoulder and said this idiots mine now.

All Dazai did was fall in a river, lose his wallet and then accidentally tell the guy he was fawning over he wasn’t into men.

(au masterpost)

pyroswap abolish is very similar to canon character-wise! his goals remain the same throughout: get the cure books, pay his respects to his parents, leave oakhurst, and free himself of this absolute headache of a group.

however, he makes some different choices in adapting to what's going on with the vampires.

the first big deviation is avid's turning.

with pyro and owen in charge, shelby urges avid to run much faster than in canon, and he's successfully able to hide himself amongst the townsfolk.

the first people to find him out? abolish and legundo.

abolish has no reason not to keep his secret, granted that he doesn't hurt the town -- in fact, there are benefits to having a secret vampire on oakhurst's side -- so he agrees.

one particularly good perk: intel.

through avid, he's able to initiate a bit of a dialogue with the first two fledglings.

naturally, they're very wary of each other at first (legundo and scott in particular seem to get along like oil and water), but as it turns out, they're actually a lot more amenable to cooperating with the town than he thought -- or rather, they seem to share a common enemy...

well. whatever makes his job easier and spares him the migraine, abolish is more than happy to accept.

ABOLISH: So. It was you.

an au where pyro takes the place of scott as one of the starting vampires!

the tag is '#dea's pyroswap au'. if you ever make any content based on this au (first of all, tysm and i'd love it if you @ me, i would be SO happy to see it), feel free to add this tag to your post!

some prefacing notes:

scott and pyro swap fledglings! scott turns shelby and cleo. pyro turns scott, apo, and drift.

the other characters' 'places' in the story remain more or less the same. owen is still the other starting vamp, and the other sire-fledgling connections are the same.

i'll be using 'ps!(character name)' if i ever need to make a specific distinction between characters in this au and something else.

looooots of ship stuff in case that isn't your cup of tea. but if it is, we have toxic majorscythe, less toxic aviscott, pyro owen and the doc are in a kinda will-they-won't-they i-can-fix-them doomed polycule situation -- it's a whole thing, moonrot still wins, and cryptidclues still wins.
