Oh, wow, that’s such amazing news! That sounds great, I’d love to see the drafts in my ask box.

Eep! So excited! I’m going to have to add another chapter or two to Eternal Empire before that spotlight drops in February!

few more under the cut

AU where Martin died in the house fire instead of Calliope, but Molly is still no better off than in canon.

Instead of Calliope dying and Molly having to take up all the chores because Martin can’t take anything seriously and pretends his problems don’t exist, this Molly has the complete opposite problem.

When Martin’s gone, Calliope becomes an anxious wreck without the one person that can balance her. She becomes paranoid about her daughters’ health and safety. She’s paranoid about things that don’t matter (like the fact that she thinks if she doesn’t wear fake glasses during business meetings she won’t be taken seriously) so why wouldn’t she be paranoid about the things that do? A lot of what she cared about was completely destroyed in a freak accident, and there’s no promise it can’t happen again.

She begins to plan her kids’ future with meticulous detail and when one thing seems out of place, she has a complete breakdown. They’re possibly a bit better off due to Calliope being good at businessing, but that amount of stress and expectations cannot be okay for anyone nearby, much less a child.

Molly probably becomes an overly-cheery fake optimist (because telling herself it’s all okay is Totally a good replacement for being actually calm when her mom freaks out over minor inconveniences) and represses every problem and negative emotion she feels so far down they’re practically in the Mariana Trench.

(Idea from @ramblings-from-the-ether 's AU poll right here. They chose to make a Prohibition AU, but they let others use the discarded concepts & expand on them.) Link to the CYOA here. (Fair warning, on Imgur & rather long.) Now that the credits are out of the way... This AU takes place in an alternate industrial revolution upset by every supernatural force at once because they weren’t invited to New Year’s celebrations. As a result, organizations church-sponsored, state-sponsored & private formed to combat the darkness.

Now that the basic concepts have been established, the ideas:

-Anyone in their 20s or below are born after the New Year's Bloodletting (the worldwide havoc mentioned above), so that excludes the Neo Trio, Gio, Sylvie & Stink for named characters. -This is Everyone Adopts Molly (EAM) adjacent, so Molly gets all the support she needs. Lorelai's fine, just newly apprenticed in the Roughhouse Witch Coven/Clan to gain some much-needed character development & lessons in how to use her magic responsibly (Gio managed to convince them to take her in when he recognized she was born with magic, there not being many other options for her in Sweet Jazz City). -Bliss Ocean are good guys here! Well, mostly. They do mean well & their Fiend-Hunting skills are genuinely good, but until recently they did not get along with the authorities very well. It's a step-up from the terrorists of Canon. -Rick is a half-Sidhe (this setting's Fae) here. Not a Changeling, a true Human-Sidhe hybrid. Perhaps the only one of his kind, he's still trying to unlearn the promise-&-contract-based morality they have. Naven taking him under his wing has helped immensely.
