I’m just sat here, thinking about the scrapped AU of CDF which I made a long time ago. Wherein Darren and Steve are metaphysically sent back in time, after killing each other in the battle on the bridge to their old bodies from before everything started.
(For anyone who has watched The Umbrella Academy, Darren was basically Five Hargreeves personality wise in that story - ie a cynical adult in a child’s body - and Steve was the same, just a lot less put together mentally. Which says something, because Darren had ISSUES of his own after the events of cannon.)
Progress temporarily paused on all CDF stuff while life is going to life.
I finished Kurda’s lineart today (I always imagined him looking extremely Tolkien-Elven in appearance with those long blond locks and pointed ears, so fight me he is a long-haired diva ‘lookin map maker.)
I’m working on some fanart for The Scholar’s Apprentice (alongside the oneshot, of course) in between school and work, not sure whether I should sit on it until the oneshot is done or release one before the other, though.

I’m sorry, did I say short story?.... (I meant behemoth, this shit is going to take a while.)
I caved and went for it, here is a screenshot from the first draft (this is going great, I’m doing just fine at this writing thing!, hahah......)
I think I’m making Kurda way too Mika-like in his biting sarcasm and flippant internal monologue (I’ll need to fix that and make Kurda way more pacifistic/disney princess-ish in the future drafts.)
I’m very tempted to write an extremely short hurt/comfort fic set in my The Scholar’s Apprentice AU wherein Kurda is having to learn how to be a mentor (meanwhile nobody in the mountain is doing anything to be of any help whatsoever.)
I have been contemplating yet another AU, one wherein Darren winds up going to Vampire Mountain much, much sooner than in cannon.
- A vampire general who isn’t Gavner winds up stumbling on the cirque and finding out about Darren.
- Said general runs straight back to the mountain (maybe they were on their way back already?….) and tattles.
- The tension between Vampaneze and Vampires hasn’t risen quite to the point where they’ve started eyeballing each other any more suspiciously than normal just yet, so the princes are rightfully pissed and do not wait for council to summon Larten.
- The princes all still hold Larten in the same regard as they do in cannon, but given that this is still somewhere in the second book’s timeline, nobody even gives Darren much of a passing thought and everybody goes straight to yelling at Larten (Larten hasn’t trained Darren at all and still treats him as more of a pest than anything, so he is hardly something to be sneezed at and certainly never considered for the trials of initiation.)
(This might actually be a great backdrop for that “Larten Dies While Darren Is Still Super Young” AU, come to think of it.)
Larten being sentenced to retake the trials and failing?…. (Like an “If you retake the trials and succeed, then your name will be cleared and you and your assistant are free to go” sort of deal.)
It’d make sense given how utterly pathetic Darren is at this point in time for the Princes to decide that he isn’t worth putting through the trials or being held responsible at the moment (Or so I think, anyway, I especially feel like this would be a point that Mika would bring up.)
I love your “What If There Were Kids” niche. I absolutely agree Mika wouldn’t want to waste time (or life) putting a legit KID through that. He’s pretty harsh on Darren but he’s not an awful person. I would definitely read this story if you ever wrote it!
More hath arisen, it just occurred to me that RV wouldn’t exist as a villain in this timeline (Because he’d never have become involved with Darren in the first place, heck dude, Darren and Evra probably wouldn’t even be THAT close come to think of it, they’d never have gotten the time to really bond!.)
I am making it a point to ignore Destiny in any and all of my AUs, so he can fuck off, he isn’t relevant no more!.
I wonder where Steve is in all of this....
(I’m kind of enjoying the thought of Darren as a sort of feral smol, like he still hates vampires at this point because he is a total child-with-no-perspective-check-brain, so he’d probably bristle at anyone who tried to get near him. Maybe this would be a good AU to make him Kurda’s future apprentice, sense everyone else would be trying to “Toughen” him up when he is clearly already super lost-in-the-trauma-sauce of being blooded against his will and then watching his captor - whom he’d still view as such - die violently at the hands of said captors own supposed allies, meanwhile Kurda would be the only one willing to take a gentler approach.)
(Darren willingly going along with Kurda’s plans to merge the clans?..... CANNON WOULD NEVER!.)
--------------
This just in, what if after Kurda successfully merges the clans (Because Darren is his kid now and perfectly FINE with the vampires getting their asses handed to them), Darren and Steve reunite?...
With Steve not being such an unhinged dick as in cannon?... (Because semi-sane-morally-grey-Steve is my lifeblood.)
--------------
OH!, OH! (But what about Darren becoming Kurda’s apprentice with nothing save malice in his heart for the vampire clan during the beginning of it all, only to slowly get to know them and change his mind even as Kurda makes his plans to merge the clans. Ergo: there is a lot more heartbreak, because as Darren develops morals, so too does he realize that said morals will inevitably force him to turn on Kurda, who might be the only person who he has actually trusted/cared about sense having to leave his human family behind.)
DisasterSiblings!Darren is pretty much the same as the Darren which we see in cannon.
This Darren is a lot more metal than Cannon!Darren.
---------------
I’m calling this AU “The Scholar’s Apprentice”, heck dude it might as well be a companion piece to “The Prince’s Assistant” (Another AU of mine wherein “Larten kicks the bucket and, borne of a poorly thought-out wager/argument between Mika and Arrow/Vancha, Mika winds up as Darren’s mentor”.)
I have been contemplating yet another AU, one wherein Darren winds up going to Vampire Mountain much, much sooner than in cannon.

CDF characters as test answers given by kids
Darren
Crepsley
Steve
Harkat
Vancha
Kurda
Mika
Arrow
Gavner
Evra
These are all immaculate.
Darren would unironically say "Cracking open a boy with the cold ones"
Not in the DisasterSiblings AU, that’d be Steve’s line (Darren would just nod sagely in the background while he said it.)
Love The Saga of Darren Shan manga.
OKAY I LOVE THIS
THIS IS SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
I wonder how many vampires became vampires back in the olden days wholly to escape humanity’s shitshow.
- Plagues.
- Brutal Wars.
- Harsh and often cruel division of different social classes/stations.
- Fucking taxes.
In the 21st century I’d consider vampirism solely because of the housing market crisis
21st Century Allures of Vampirism:
- Automatic Birth Control.
- Immunity to Most Human Diseases (Covid).
- Flitting (Gotta’ Go Fast and Save Gas!.)

Darren: “I’m having problems with someone.”
Steve: “Like “their dead body won’t fit in your trunk” problems or “I like them” problems?.”
Darren: ““I like them” problems.”
Steve: “Too bad, I could have helped with the other one.”
Garvner is very happy to have little brothers and does point out that the last time Larten adopted someone, him, there was a whole massacre so Larten is making some progress in that kidnapping aspect. Also his cubs look moderately fine.
You, you get it.
