Redpurp au idea that randomly came to me one day ever since i saw that post of your of Ruler of My heart x Camtain
After the NDA, Purple got blacklisted and thrown into a cramped aparment complex with poor living condition where they meet 6 other crewmates who are in the same boat as theirs (aka the skeld crew minus Blue, Orange, White and Red)
In this AU, Brown, Yellow and Green used to live in the same town, with Brown and Yellow owning a bakery/small restaurant real close to Green family's worm farm. However, due to incidents relating to MIRA and its activities, their homes got destroyed and had to relocate, and during that relocation process, Green got seperated from their family. For Cyan and Black, they completed their internship, however MIRA never gave them a job despite promising to do so in the internship contract. Finally Lime, who also got the same treatment like Purple for cooking up too many conspiracy theories and eventually go digging in places where MIRA kept their secret, so they got fired + branded as insane so that no one would buy their words + also got thrown to this residence that is falling apart.
The seven crewmates just became found family and bonded over their trauma with MIRA before eventually deciding to be like 'ykw? Fuck MIRA we rebel' and pull off some plans to leave that space that MIRA threw them in (to avoid having their rebel being detected by MIRA and get stopped). I'm thinking of a fake gas tank explosion, caused by Yellow + Brown. Those two set it up to make it look like a tragic cooking accident where their cooking gas tank unexpectedly exploded and burned everything in that apartment complex where in reality, all crews were out of the building at the time of the explosion (and bc MIRA didn't gaf about the crew's living condition, the apartment had poor fire protection: eg. 0 fire alarm, 0 easy fire escape route, and very many flammable material lying around, leading to everyone believing that that accident and that fire will no doubt kill every unfortunate crew happen to live in that building).
With that, the gang faked their deaths. Now, drum roll please! They formed a little rebel gang against MIRA! Using what Lime previously dug up, they plan to throw dirt at MIRA until that evil corporation's crimes became known to all and bury it. With Brown and Yellow acting as the cooks to help caring for the gang and Cyan and Black help spreading what they found out about MIRA (I personally headcannon that Cyan owns a blog about crystal and vibes and all that and most of their followers got attracted to how postive Cyan's posts are as well as how gentle they are overall, which sometimes they help share the gang's findings about MIRA and Black helps them with wordings so that their MIRA posts can reach a wide audience as well as having multiple alts of their owns to share and post themselves).
Having some big beef with MIRA, Lime and Purps are often the ones who actively goes into contact with MIRA. Like they'd sneak into MIRA's top secret vaults to search for evidences and documents about MIRA's secrets. Sometimes they'd even take it a step further by disguising as MIRA's clients to dig up some more of MIRA's dirty laundry. Blue, a MIRA doctor who was not fond of MIRA's ways of things also help them whenever they could once they knew of Purple and Lime's misadventures against MIRA. They'd check Purple and Lime in as their patients so the two can have a way to get in MIRA, helps cover their tracks as much as they can and sometimes even visit the gang's new secret base to treat everyone's injuries and potential sickness. Oh and they also provides the gang with medical supplies.
Unfortunately I still couldn't come up with anything for Green so... maybe getaway driver for purple and lime? The crew could steal a vehicle (maybe a van) and use it as their main getaway. And Purple, Lime and Green's interaction would be something like this: purple and lime yelling at green to go faster while Green is both speeding like a rocket, praying to the worm god that they will live to see another day, teeth clacking nervously from seeing 10 millions MIRA guards behind them but still secretly enjoying the thrill of rebellion.
Meanwhile, Red got promoted to some big position in MIRA like executive where they can be the captain of all the expedition they go on. Unfortunately, MIRA never provided them with Purple's accommodation detail, so they have been on a quest to look for their best friend from internship to at least provide them with financial support. Then one day, they meet White, a rich guy who happens to be friends with MIRA's damage control department and White just did them a favor by giving Red Purple's location.
That day, Red locked in and finished their work early. They bought flowers and gifts for Purple so that they will have a buffer in case Purple blows up in their face for signing the NDA. However, right as the apartment came into view, it blew up (courtesy to Yellow and Brown's schemes).
Red begged Pink to be the one to do be the one to lead the exploded apartment's search party because they wanted to make sure that Purple is still alive and potentially be the one to rescue them. However, the search party was met with a lifeless space with little trinkets of the crews who had once lived there. Black's choker, Cyan's crystal necklace, Brown and orange's appron, Lime's favorite wench, Green's little worm plushy that their younger sibling made for them, and of course, Purple's cap that they wore everywhere during their internship with Red.
Every single crew who lived in the building was declared dead, but Red refused to believe that Purple is dead because they haven't seen Purple's corpse with their own visor. Like a madman, Red eventually even hired people to look for Purple for them.
And life goes on. Despite being seen as mad, Red still served MIRA and had some promotion as well. Until one day, their underling caught a member of the gang who had been trying to attack MIRA's good name, and Pink commanded them to go and interrogate that foolish crew who had made themself an enemy of MIRA. Red walked in the interrogation room, trying their best to look intimidating instead of looking like some chud, and what do you know. The crew who they caught?
All the words that Red wanted to say died in their throat. But before they could even reach out to touch their prisoner, to ensure that it's real and not some cruel dream, and that they have been right and Purple was alive...
Green sped their van and crashed through the walls of the interrogation room and Lime rushed out and pulled the chair that Purple was restrained to into the van and they ran off.
(Oh god this ask got long 😭)
It is, but looks like you've got the outline of a pretty good fic, Anon!
This really reminds me of All-In, too. And those AUs of Ivan being a poster boy of the Segyeins. The Ivan and Luka parallels in Red, and the Hyuna and Till parallels in Purple drive me nuts. Red really would be the kind of person who'd be thrilled to see Purple in a MIRA interrogation cell. Purple's back. Purple's back.
And they think everything can just go back to the way it was, back in Parra Garden, when they were little and promised to stay together forever.
But then Purple leaves. Again. The only difference now is Red knows Purple is out there, alive. And they can be caught.
