Just kidding, sort of. ANYWAY here is a long-awaited rundown of our Grim Future au! You can find the completed fic, titled Terrible Things here :)
Just as a precursor, for this universe we have combined bits of the manga into the anime, the latter of which we are much more familiar with.
The AU starts roughly 10 years after the events of Soul Eater. During these ten years, Liz and Patty, and Maka had passed away in two separate accidents. Sometime in between, Black Star and Tsubaki vanished from Death City, and have not been seen since. Nobody knows why they left or if they are coming back. That left just Kid and Soul in the city, picking up the shards of their life into some shabby semblance of normal. The immortal and the Death Scythe. And Maia, who is the last bit of Maka Soul has left.
As I said, Kid and Soul have managed to build a new sense of normal that works, despite everything. They’re still hurting but at least they can pretend everything’s okay, and focus on making sure Maia is happy. Everything is great until a pair of someones decide to finally come home.
For anyone who wants a deeper look at what goes on in the story instead of/before reading the fic, I’m going to keep on explaining. So, vague spoilers under the cut.
The main plot kicks off when Tsubaki drags convinces Black Star to go back to Death City, seeking their old friends’ help to hunt down a rogue, unusually powerful witch covertly wreaking havoc on the countryside.
The story follows a couple of plots:
Kid, Black Star, Tsubaki, and Soul are all trying to locate and confront the witch, but are repeatedly struck down because, as I said, she is abnormally powerful. She also seems to have a bit of a history with Black Star.
Maia, recently enrolled in the DWMA is getting more and more restless, wanting to follow in Maka’s footsteps to be the best meister in the academy. But there are things about herself that she needs to be careful with. Her story focuses on a balance between her ambition and wellbeing, fighting for her sense of self.
Meanwhile, Black Star and Tsubaki are grappling with the consequences of their past.
While Kid tries to figure out what happened to Black Star, Black Star is trying to get Kid to confront his past and his emotions, since Kid has spent more than 10 years shutting out his humanity, and, with it, the people he loves. There is lasting tension from the last time they fought spoke to each other.
Soul is, above all else, trying to keep Maia safe. Between the witch’s cryptic plans, Black Star’s mentorship, and Maia’s raging ambition, AND the temperamental teenager Wes suddenly dumped on him, he’s got his work cut out for him.
Amelia (the aforementioned temperamental teenager) has mostly just been thrown into the whirlwind of drama in Gallows Manor, but she grows a lot as she befriends Maia and accepts her heritage, finding a family along the way.
I think that’s everything. The point of this blog is to expand on the ideas presented in the fic. We are constantly adding to this AU and have so many ideas and little details that surpass the boundaries of the fic: what happened before Terrible Things? What about after? Where the hell is Crona? What exactly is Azrael? What can Amelia and Maia really do? Plus a growing cast of characters that didn’t make the fic. It’s all just for fun, plus this blog helps us document ideas (as if we don’t have a nearly 200 page doc of stuff).

any of Amelia and/or Maia hc!! i would love to hear some :3
OF COURSE. Putting a break thing here bc there’s a lot lmao
Amelia:
- joins a band called Euthanasia, she plays the drums
- has a snake familiar named Calypso
- tattoos come to life similar to medusa’s
- in addition to healing magic, she also has deterioration magic
- can control Maia’s madness wavelength, which means she can amplify or suppress it
- has a madness resistance wavelength, which means she’s non-susceptible to madness
- in addition to the drums, she can also play the cello
- GENDERFLUID BABY
- a gothic, more chilled-out version of Liz
- does not believe in ghosts
- cannot cook to save her life
- Avril Lavigne is her celebrity crush and she mainly crushes on older women because they’re Unattainable. If she crushes on someone her age, she panics
- only one in the fam with a decent moral compass
- Ambidextrous. Partly bc she can and partly bc kid insisted it would be useful for fighting
- Middle name is Alexandra and she hates it
- Birthday is march 25th :)
- Has a major “no one understands me” emo phase that starts around age 13 (in all seriousness, the trauma from the terrible things era catches up to her and she has a massive breakdown about it once she finally process it all)
- Struggles with depression as a teenager, and eventually her parental figures get her to go to therapy/counseling
- May or may not be obvious in the fic but she has VERY high pain tolerance
- Picked up a lot of big fancy words from being around Kid so much, so she can deliver very eloquent insults
- Transformed into a scythe for the first time at age 6 and accidentally cut herself on the cheek. She has a small scar there to this day
- Trained by Crona to master her black blood
- Soul taught her the piano but she also plays a mean harmonica
- she grew up watching Soul play the piano but struggles to improvise melodies like he can, since she has a hard time understanding her emotions. She tries though, but mostly only when she’s alone because she feels self-conscious and weird about it
- Only remembers the feeling of Maka’s soul
- Homeschooled until the beginning of Terrible Things
- spent most of her childhood in the death room or at home so funny enough she grew up very similar to kid
- 0 social skills, max extroversion, -3 charm
- Smacks everyone in an attempt to carry on the maka chop
- Soul teaches Maia how to dance
- Kid (tries) to do her hair and sometimes succeeds but most of the time gives up and Soul has to take over. Tsubaki probably helps out later, but black star cannot be trusted with it
- Black Star teaches Maia Spanish (especially curse words so she can get away with it without soul knowing) (Kid understands everything but doesnt snitch)
- Picked up curses from Kid cause he has no filter no matter how much soul tells him off for it
- Got really attached to kid around 5 or 6 years old, which made him avoid her, which made her sad, but he got over it and they got really close
- Was a very grabby baby
- Very Judgmental and Very Expressive so its easy to tell what she’s thinking
- a frequent guest in the death room since birth cause soul and maka didnt want her to be one of Those kids who cried at the sight of the Grim Reaper. also to distract kid from his work. Forced babysitter fr
- Kid gifted her Beelzebub so shes a Skatergirl
- Gets very jealous (insecure) when Amelia actually starts making friends her age, and becomes scared Amelia will abandon her
- Tries her best to be a good example for azrael but she’s still a chaotic clumsy mess /aff
- Maia gets really close to making herself a death scythe but she gets extremely burnt out around 15 and I think she makes a big mistake that forces her to start completely over. She has a really hard time after that and doesnt become a death scythe until she’s 20, which is about 5-7 years after she makes Amelia a death scythe
- Black star’s favorite out of maia and Amelia, although hes pretty hard on her
MAIA & AMELIA:
- Wes brought Amelia to soul partly because he heard maia was pretty good in school and thought she could help her out. (He did not care she was 11 years old)
- there have been a couple of times where Amelia has had to wield Maia, and every time Maia struggles because she’s really stubborn about being the meister. It works though lol
- Maia thinks Amelia is super cool. She looks up to her a lot but they also argue a lot
- Maia calls Amelia Blondie
- After meeting Maia Amelia quickly learns a lot about being Responsible lol
- They both grow up to become death scythes :)
- Give off sibling energy so people are a bit surprised when they say they’re cousins
- Maia curses worse than Amelia does
- maia hates all Amelia’s girlfriends on principle and thinks all her romantic interests are “GROOOOSSSSS”
- amelia makes fun of Maia’s height and Maia makes fun of Amelia’s hair
- amelia remembers more about Maka than maia does
- Amelia takes better care of Maia’s health than her own. She makes sure she takes care of herself but is super hypocritical about it lol
13. How does their relationship look like with their parents?
At first, Az is much closer to Black Star than Kid, since Star found him at Morgana's. Since it takes Kid some time to adjust to having a child of his own, Azrael is much more comfortable with Star than with Kid, but he'd feel safe with both of them. As he gets older and his madness gets worse, he'd be more difficult to manage and his relationship with Kid and Star-- and the rest his family-- will get much more complicated
16. Do they have any struggles?
Azrael struggles a lot with his madness of fear (more about this here and here). It's certainly a challenge and it's something he'll be fighting with for his whole life, much like Black Star and his madness of power

How does kid deal w emotions besides not having them lol
Hmm good question! He doesn't!
... is the simple answer! but of course there's more to it and I will gladly talk about it!
Before the events of Terrible Things I don't think he deals with them at all. It's very rare that he lets anything get through his mask, but if it somehow does he'd probably just automatically lock them and himself away for a bit, either physically and/or emotionally depending on how bad it is.
During Terrible Things he's definitely in Crisis Mode and lashes out, shuts himself away, focuses on the things he can control, and even just ignores what he's feeling. It's hard for him
After Terrible Things he handles his emotions in a much healthier way and slowly learns to lean on the people he loves when he needs it. He learns how to feel and process his grief and finally gets to come to terms with the loneliness he's felt all throughout his life, and it really improves his relationships.

Ah just realized Cerberus is az emotional support cat, maybe dtk just needs a dog too? Who’s dog is that 😭
The dog is Soul's! This post sort of explains it lol
It still doesn't have a name.
The pets probably cause Kid a lot of distress and he's definitely the one keeping them off the counters and couches and making sure they behave when the puppy dog eyes work on everyone else. but they love him
Kid probably likes Cerberus more than the dog but yeah he probably would die for that dog but would never admit it
