Help me🥹

It’s already canon to PILAD that Alastor was summoning demons while they were both alive trying to get power, so do you think in this world where he’ll left all alone, he’s desperately trying to summon his wife or summon something that can find his wife? Or maybe, he’s just trying to gain more power still so that by the time he’s ready to join her in their second life nothing can hurt her again…

In the story, P!Reader thinks about how she’d never wish the fear and despair of losing your partner onto Alastor (which then happens to him when the hotel collapses on her rip), but to have an Alastor who understood that grief from the get go? I feel like it would change the way he’d handle their separation and the rules thrust upon him. Would he be willing to let them be separated at all?

And perhaps a P!Reader who spent more time in Hell, getting to know other sinners and having to navigate a world where power is everything, but without having any of the Radio Demon’s backing is one who has more power. Maybe not overlord level, I can’t see her caring at all about that, but enough that it’s noticeable in the way she carries herself (maybe she sheds less LOL). More allies, more people owing her favors, more people relying on her to heal them, that sort of thing.

I don’t think it would change their overall dynamic, but I do think it would shift enough to be noticeable and very interesting! This wasn’t really formatted like a request but the concept is yours to do with what you please if you’re interested! I’d love to see your thoughts on this AU, may it be in a small story or just more rambling like me haha

Oh gosh I would absolutely love to make this into a fic, so much so that last night, I drafted it in my head HAHAH. Although,,,,it might take a while to make a whole fic about it if yall are willing to wait. I'm nearing Finals week and the tough gotta start going unfortunately.

I do have a small fic about Reader dying first and Alastor trying to summon her. I'm actually going to make a part 2...hopefully. I want to, but time huhuh. I don't own much of it BUT this things is, P! Reader is very sheltered by Alastor. This woman has never had to experience the hardships of Hell because Alastor has always been there, the strongest Sinner with both power and influence.

I'd never explicitly said it yet, but I'm hoping to get through it in my fic, but Reader's thread powers comes from the souls she owns. Because as far as I know, souls are like the currency of power in Hell.

And how did she get those souls?

Well, one day Alastor probably came home and was all like, "I just gathered a thousand souls :DDD and it's all yours for the low, low price of one (1) ☝️1️⃣ kiss <3" He would sulk the whole day if Reader didn't accept.

So in the event that Reader dies first, and Alastor isn't there to provide what she wants, then . . . well, she'll get a little creative. Definitely not Overlord level, but Reader gets very diligent when it comes to the things she wants. So not Overlord level, but just enough to satiate her.

So she'll probably work her way up the food chain with a charm that mimics Alastor. (What's the point of seeing the man everyday if she doesn't learn a thing or two from him about charisma?)

Alastor, who is still alive and up on Earth, would go super crazy. I see him as the type of man who would be too prideful to just,,,,join Reader down in Hell by his own doing. Still go super crazy. Gothic horror type of crazy. Her heart in a jar and everything.

You mentioned that Alastor would fully have Reader's heart in a jar, which means that he'd have to dissect her himself because obviously no one is touching his wife but him. Would he also like... jar her hands because he's pretty obsessed with those as well? The more I think about it, the more sense it makes to me. Maybe he has them in a little satchel so he can carry them around, her hand always in his.

I can also imagine him OBSESSING over keeping their house exactly the same, as an antithesis to the Reader's react to him dying first, he needs their home to stay theirs. If he changes anything then it's no longer the home that he lived and shared with her. There are dishes that are still sitting in the sink, from the last time he made a dish he thought he'd share with her, the absurd amounts of plates and bowls waiting to get washed by someone who's no longer there. A piano collecting dust, as he dances a dance for two, alone in silence.

I love the idea of a more charismatic Reader. In PILAD, we get a version of her who's never struggled the way most sinners do when they arrive in Hell, she's always protected and even when she was separated from her husband for 7 years he's still her silent protecter. To imagine a world where she, her lovely and well manners but horribly apathetic self, has to work her charms because she has no other choice?

I'd imagine the mask of polite charm and indifference we've been seeing her show Vox in the most recent chapters of PIDAL, where she's being perfectly charming and hospitable but also showing dominance in her relationship and how she reads Vox's reaction to Alastor like a bad newspaper, amplified to 100. In this AU you never really know what she's thinking, she can say the kindest things to you while plotting you downfall and you'd never have a clue. She can heal you, of course she can she's done it before. All she needs is another thread. Another strand to hold you together- you'll help her won't you? She's always been so sweet, that's why you came to her in the first place. You wanted the help in the first place. All you need to do is offer a piece of yourself and she'll use it to help.

I feel like she'd be much more manipulative, either on purpose or unconsciously to get what she wanted. Like you said, she learned from the best.

I've only seen this fic concept once and it was lifechanging and I need to see it again.

The idea that CHB wasn't perfect before the war, the the survivors put a rose-colored tint over their memories of pre-war CHB and all the people who died before/during the Titan war, the idea that going through war changed all of these demigods.

In the fic they use time travel, which is a vastly under-used trope, and Percy and a few other campers travel back in time to their younger bodies to a few days before Percy arrived at camp.

Now that's cool and all but I think it would be really interesting just to see these demigods talk to their younger couterparts, and their past siblings and see just how their world view has changed.

Clarrisse for example she tells her cabin she fought in a war but didn't want to and they're all aghast, they've all dreamed of leading wars, how could she not want to? And Clarrisse being forced to realise the way these kids view the world with honor and glory through combat? Clarrisse looking at her brothers and sisters who died to war who are ecstatic at the idea of one? Clarrisse realizing this used to be her. The tired vertran watching the children who the war hasn't taken the light from.

Will meeting with his brothers and sisters from the past, fully prepared to talk about how the prep the infirarmy for the upcoming war, because having to choose who gets the ambrosia rations is a terrifying expierence he wouldn't wish on anyone. But none of them ask about the infirmary prep. Because they don't do infirarmy prep. They ask about his shooting, and his music and if his healing magic has gotten better. Will keeps bringing up how they need to start teaching first-aid courses to all cabins not just cabin 7. Will's talking to a bunch of kids who've only ever heard the songs of war through the side of the soldier. A grizzeled battlefield medic looking at a bunch of med-students who have never had to debate who they can afford to have die because they don't have engough medics for all the patients.

Malcolm bringing Nico to meet with his cabin mates to talk about how to make funeral shrouds but none of them want to talk about that, they want the glories to weave into their tapestries to impresse their mother. Malcolm explains the importance of starting the shroud when the demigod leaves for a quest and not when they fail to return. He wants to punch someone when he hears that maybe failures don't deserve shrouds. He says that then half of his siblings don't deserve the shrouds he made them. He wants to cry when they agree. Malcolm's talking to a bunch of children who've never gotten blood on a shroud because they've made so many in the past few days that the thread cut open their fingers. A tired brother looking at a fresh batch of soldiers who don't know the hatred that comes with having to dig a mass grave for your siblings because the energy needed to bury them are being used to keep someone else alive.

Annabeth meets with the other half of her cabin. She's nervous after hearing about how it went with the others. Thankfully they all want to talk about battle straegy. Annabeth brings up a hundred different failsafes you need to make in plans to keep people alive, she talks about back up plans and how to plan for a triage center and how to plan for the injured and how to make a plan to find the dead bodies and how too make a plan to organize rations and. They all stop up with the questions of who messed up. They sit around and pick apart stragies and make fun of screws ups of dead people, the same way you would nitpick stratagies of generals long dead. The same way she used to. She storms out as they debate the failures of her dead friends and family. Annabeth is sournded by people who have never had a plan that cost someone's life and don't understand the desperation that comes with it. A veteran listens to new recruits talk about how they would have done so much better, knowing that by the time any of them reach the rank where they would be the ones making the choices most of them would be dead.

I'm sure they're a lot more I could do but it is 11 o'clock at night and I am tired, I will probably add to this later but who knows.

If anyone has anything more to add please tag me or message me or both I would love to hear someone else's thoughts.

For the veterans the camp is a strange strange place. A place where cabins are isolated, where campers are willing to backstab and trick their way out of things, not even stupid stuff like mucking out the stables, Katie watches in horror as two of her siblings pretend to go on patrol but end up lazying around because 'nothing ever happens the border protects us'. None of these children fought desperately trying to hold a line to protect the people within. They have not had their home loss it's protection become even more dangerous than the outside world. They have never had to do a border patrol even when their whole body ached because they could hold a sword or shoot a bow and weren't on a bed in the infirmary.

Connor pulls his cabin aside, and this is the hardest because his cabin is angry and bitter. They have all the right to be. He had forgotten how crowed their cabin was, the strick hierarchy between claimed and undetermined. He talks about watching out for everyone protecting all those under the cabin, especially the younger ones. His siblings ask as if he's sure he means the undetermined, because they didn't matter, their parents didn't care about them so why should they? The claimed kids were the lucky ones. Connor walks out of the cabin and vomits into the nearest bushes because he understands now how Kronos was able to get so many of them.

Pig!Marinette for my kwami swap roster. It's... already been half a year since the last one, apparently. Oops. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a fan of the canon colors for the pig holder's outfit, so I stuck with Daizzi's colors, but muted and pinker... fine! I did my own thing (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ No regrets.

“A twin brother?” Arthur recommends next, knowing that it’s just as unlikely.

“With exactly the same magical signature?” Balinor counters. “No two people can have the exact same magical signature, no matter how closely related they are.”

This interaction happened just before Author’s flashback and it makes it sound like they’re comparing Merlin to Lily. Balinor shutting the idea down by saying two people can’t have the exact same magical signatures even twins, but Merlin is from another universe so it could be possible for them to both exist.... then again might be looking to far into this. Fun thought tho.

Weeeeell, nothing has been completely confirmed, story-wise. So I’m afraid I can neither confirm nor deny about anything that hasn’t been explicitly mentioned in the story.

I don't like posting text only, so here are AU's basic designs as a bonus!

The main factor that defines how family dynamics in this AU differentiate from canon is that Alma and Pedro process their trauma in absolutely different ways. It comes from both the difference in their personalities (though I mostly made up Pedro's personality myself, I like how he turned out to be) and the difference in the experience itself. How was it different? Well, we'll find out...

The main problem with Pedro is his guilt complex and how it makes him feel the constant need to redeem himself, to make up for what he had already failed once - protecting the loved ones. But could it be that while trying to protect, he ends up hurting?

A AU that Bruno see the Vision so much earlier

Posting it here for posterity’s sake.

This is a localization I made for the threads on snowchan.org
