Po and the Lotus
Ok so this is like a modern/cyberpunk AU of kung-fu panda. In this AU most people are hybrids, so Tigress is a half tiger half human, Viper is half snake half human, so on and so forth.
Po is also a girl in this Au (purely for self indulgent reason and because I relate to him the most). She work at her father's noodle bar at the east district, in front of the red light district.
The jade palace is still there, still a symbol of protection for the valley but it's influence has greatly decreased.
This is a moodboard I made to help me get inspiration.
This is going to be a multi-chapter fanfic I'm gonna post on Ao3 eventually.
The main ship is going to be Tai lung/Po. Tai is around the same age as Po and the furious five.
There is going to be a lot of heavy topic like sex work, violence, human trafficking, etc...
I have a rough idea of what I want to write but I mainly wanted to share the idea here.
Introduction:
"Po is one of the last panda hybrid alive. She knows that, everyone knows that. It had always been a problem when she was was growing up. The last panda hybrid, and a girl hybrid, that could be pricey on the black market. The rich billionaires of China could kill to have in their possession a girl-panda like her as a pet.
The first time she was kidnapped she was barely 6, she took out the trash and was promptly swooped away in a van. She spend three days locked up in a cage in an abandoned warehouse. She thought she was never going to see her father again. That night, when she had lost all hope, she heard glass breaking. Coming from the ceiling of the warehouse, Master Shifu and his apprentice broke in and fought against her kidnappers.
She would always remember how that snow leopard fought to get her back from the men that were taking her away. He was only a few years older than her but she was already so strong. That night marked the beginning of her love for kung-fu and of her crush on Master's Shifu's favorite student, Tai lung."
If I have more ideas I'll probably post them here until I'm done writing that fanfic.
