Mafia AU, Of Rats and Angels AU, Alien AUs, Solbound (Hex) AU, Royal Rats AU - In the links above!

Borderlands AU - (Deep breath)

Tim’s a Hyperion scientist working in Helios who was shoved in a tube and Got Skagged. Lyra was forced into becoming an artificial siren, but it went awry, creating Liysael (they rescued Tim and teamed up as accidental Vault Hunters).

Sol WAS The Warrior in the vault till he was discovered by Bob (a Hyperion worker in Helios), was like “I wanna tag along with you”, shrunk down into a more manageable form and got brought up to Helios to take a tour.

Abby (who I haven’t discussed in detail over here, they’re a demigod from my D&D campaign) was The Traveler in the vault that was discovered by two random people who were decidedly NOT Vault Hunters. They just got lost (Oz and Cere, the goblin and cat in that pic). Abby’s pretty amused, and VERY confused, by this.

Iggy and Marilyn (twins) were living a pretty cushy lifestyle, working in Helios. Then Marilyn decided he wanted to be a bandit on Pandora, snatches Iggy away, and they crash land to cause mischief. Somehow they end up stumbling across Pom.

I can’t remember, I think Roy may have already been a bandit at this point? Either way he does end up eventually meeting Boom.

It’s all a good fun time, don’t worry.

Sun/Moon God AU -

Details weren’t too solid on this one, but essentially Tim was a Moon God, Sol was a Sun God, unnamed bodyguard (Ratman) protected Tim, something occurred (like a solar flare or super nova) that Tim had “eclipsed”, which ended up killing him and reincarnated him as a mortal being. Sol and unnamed bodyguard (who decided possessing and reconstructing a rat was a good idea) came down to the mortal plane to try and get Tim back upstairs with them, but he had forgotten who he was before. Shenanigans ensue.

Among Us AU -

Tim, Oz, and Cere were space explorers who caught a distress signal from a GINORMOUS abandoned space station (with a LOT OF dead bodies on board among clear signs of a fight). The three got separated and Tim finds a kid (Lyra) hiding out and tells them to go to their ship for safety. Meanwhile Oz and Cere ended up exploring the ship on their own.

It turned out that Abby (an extremely powerful, chaotic God-like alien) had escaped from their planet, wanting to explore the galaxy. Liysael (an extremely powerful God-like alien as well) was sent out to get them back into containment. Sol (also an alien) was like “Wait, a ticket out of here, I’m following along”. A fight happens on board when both Abby and Lisyael clash, killing everyone on board except a lone kid, who Lisyael latches onto.

Abby, in fear and desperation to not be taken back, mistakes Sol for Lisyael, who Tim had bumped into after sending Lyra off to their ship. Abby get enraged at this and tries to kill Sol, who saves Tim after whisking him away from the situation (freaking Tim out cause OH MY GOD, YOU’RE ON FIRE). However Abby gets one last hit in, infecting Tim with a creature that, if it senses they’re too close to Abby, will try to keep Sol as far away as possible (Ratman).

Elsewhere, Oz and Cere are exploring the space station, getting into things and noting their findings (with Abby closely monitoring them, being outwardly annoyed by their gross little human forms). Eventually the three meet up, and Abby expresses explicit disinterest until they nearly get into life-ending trouble. Having grown attached to the pair, he does the only thing he can think to do: turn them into weird aliens to save their lives. It works, but he can’t turn them back. :/
