#murray leech

Honestly both of them surviving would be the best outcome, Murray is no longer depressed, she's actually a pretty good mom when she's in the right mental space, Robbin got his dream of being a dad and husband but with TWO LOVELY STRONG WIVES, and Sirena got the joy of being a mom with the surprise of being in love with two partners, it's a win win situation

The tweels aren't that much different, but a big positive is that neither of them get to suffer through grief and Floyd especially doesn't struggle from nightmares after he saw his mom dead (WHICH THANKFULLY SHES STILL ALIVE IN THIS AU!! NO NIGHTMARES YIPPEE), they also end up having a healthier and much more communicative bond with their Mama (Murray), since Robbin and Sirena helped her express her feelings more. The only con is that Murray still gets attacked and almost killed just like in the og au except the tweels find out sooner because they actually got told about it, but Murray is fine no worries

And if you're wondering, with the R&S live au, Jade still favours his Mami (Sirena) like he always did, and Floyd goes closer to Robbin, but both of the tweels often cling onto Murray despite her arguing of not liking to be touched, they love their mama and she knows they do

Out of all the Leech family, Robbin is the one with the least fighting experience, he was not built for fighting and cannot for the life of him defend himself in one. The rest of the family is all experienced, Murray is the daughter of a mafia boss (Mac) and was taught how to handle herself, Sirena worked as a nightclub bouncer and often dealt with people who caused trouble, the tweels were raised by both of their mothers and their grandfather, fighting was their way of playing at that point. Robbin is the only member of the Leech family who would not survive getting in a fight, even though he has the attitude into getting himself into them often.

His lack of ability to fight is why he was living on land when Murray met him, but it wasn't his choice to. Robbin had a close friend (a barracuda merfolk, we'll call him "Bar" for now), who dragged him to live on land with him, because Bar knew he wouldn't survive in the sea. Robbin and Bar were an inseparable duo similar to how the tweels are, they went to school together (NRC students), dropped out together because Robbin got bored, and started a band together along with other mutual friends. If Robbin got himself into rough situations, Bar would get him out of them (usually by beating the shit out of the other party), if Bar would get himself into trouble, Robbin would talk him out of it and find the easiest solution for it. They had each other and knew how to help the other.

Unfortunately, after Robbin's sudden death, Bar's whole life immediately came crumbling down and made him lose his sense of self. Believing he and his friend were living fine just on their own with their band, and blamed Murray for Robbin's death, he dragged Robbin out of the sea where he knew he wouldn't last, and Murray dragged him back, which it led to his best friend's doom. He did not take her words when she tried to explain that Robbin was protecting her, instead telling her that she knew Robbin wasn't fit to survive such a situation, and that she let him die. Bar's crash out and victim blaming was also what led to their whole group disbanding, making every party including himself go their own ways, while some of the members chose to stay in touch with Murray to support her (to which Bar blames them for "taking her side when he's in the right").
