Aaaah I'm obsessed with Hunter's shelter au!!! Can you tell us more about the concept? How did you come up with it? I love your work.
Holy shit I didn't see this, i'm so sorry, I didn't know how to use the messages in tumblr
Tysm for reaching out! The Hunter's Shelter AU is basically a modern fantasy setting where there are hunters and fantasy creatures, as you can guess, but the marines/warlords would be the hunters and the pirates would be the fantasy creatures they try to capture or kill, for example Koby would be a hunter and Luffy would be a shape-shifter, etc.
The Marines operate as a Guild, having bounties and info brokers on said creatures. Hunters aren't exclusively humans, but the ones who aren't usually hide their true nature for their own gain or survival, e.g., a vampire hunter is going for bounties for easier access to blood. An exception to this would be the warlords, since in the anime they were pirates first so i thought it would be fitting. Also, I think their powers would fit certain fantasy creatures very well. For Mihawk, though, I think it would be funny if he was just human. People would assume he's a vampire, but in reality, he's just a human that's REALLY powerful.
The Marines' aim would be to keep the fantasy world a secret or take advantage of it, and the pirates are j trying to survive and live. Some have conflict with the guild and try to fight back, etc, but that's the main setting of this world.
With Hunter's Shelter AU, we follow Mihawk, who is trying to live and provide for 2 kids he found along his hunts. Perona, after a village ostracised her for her psychic abilities and a little Oni, Zoro, who kept ambushing Mihawk for revenge as he j wanted to kill any hunter for his burnt down village.
This AU would just follow their shenanigans as Mihawk does not know what a normal person would do in caring for children, and the kids would obviously have very different needs, (and diets in zoros case) and it's more comedy than anything.
I'm lazy, so that one comic with how Perona and Mihawk met has been collecting dust, but I do want to return to it. It's j that I dont have the best productivity 😭.
I still hope you like it tho, and so sorry for the late late reply
