#au dumping

I have some random-ass AU ideas that idk if I'm ever gonna do, so I'ma yap about em so they don't vanish from my brain forever lol

Abduction AU - thinking about calling it something cool like "The Viper's Tongue" or "Abduction of Faith." It's an AU where Solar goes with Nexus that night and they end up having a pretty toxic dynamic. The whole idea of the AU is both loving the other deeply, enough to be blind to how they're hurting each other. (I'm also thinking about, if I do this AU, connecting it to Overseer Moon's "Solar rescue program.")

Ghost Eclipse AU - I'm imagining that one scene where v3 Eclipse first shows himself and Sun and Moon first think it's Solar. But like... what if it was Solar, and Eclipse was speaking through him? And Eclipse starts returning as a menace via hijacking people's minds, bodies, and voices.

Insane Eclipse - this is an ooold one- but I had this idea a while back where when Moon is about to kill v2 Eclipse, he just leaves him trapped in that invisible box instead, and Eclipse gradually goes insane, muttering about the astrals and laughing at his situation.

For research, I sadly didn't really take notes or save anything but I dug very deep into the recovery process for Leprosy (what I think is closest to Mary's illness) and Melanoma (what Guy Cihi imagined Mary had to get into character).

For Melanoma the effect it has on skin is very similar to Mary, and it is possible to reconfigure and heal the effected areas into cleaner scars. I also worried that her hairloss would be irreversible but there's absolutely a possibility it'd grow back normal. Mary wouldn't be the same of course but one day I'll draw what I think a post-op recovered Mary looks like with all her scars.
