Plot and AU Ideas

Commonality

Okay, so this one is a bit weird, but bare with me. The basis of this AU is that back when Aizen was a wee lad first getting inducted into the Gotei 13, he hadn't quite perfected his Perfect Friend Man mask yet. Unohana happens to meet him during this time and-having spent several centuries by this point perfecting her own Perfect Mom mask-instantly realizes what he's doing and what that implies. So she takes him aside one day and tries to talk to him about it. Due to their individual psychoses being so very different, Unohana isn't quite able to fully connect with him, not like he needed someone to. However, she came the closest, and more to the point, she bothered to try. That was more than anyone else ever managed, and Aizen never forgot that despite himself. This would end up developing one of two ways: either he appreciates the attempt and fucks with her minimally because of it, or he becomes deeply bitter that she gave him a glimmer of hope and dared to fall short causing him to specifically target her for torment. However, in this particular AU, her experience, control over her emotions, and especially the fact that she saw a glimpse of what lay behind Aizen's mask means she'd be exceptionally difficult to fuck with by Aizen's standards. He'd have to be extremely careful with his "revenge", but given who Aizen is, I'm pretty sure he'd take as much time as he needed to see it through.

Classical Myth AU

Unohana and Aizen are both gods within a pantheon. Unohana is the goddess of life and death, while Aizen is the god of progress and ambition. They end up having debates semi-frequently; Unohana would see things through the lens of the connection between life and death, and thus would see most everything as inherently connected and cyclical, which Aizen-ever focused on replacing the old with something better and new-would inevitably be at odds with. In this AU, Aizen is working to become a being that has transcended beyond godhood; while Unohana often disagrees with Aizen's viewpoint, she doesn't suspect just what type of person he actually is until he starts a great schism as part of his overall plan to ascend.

Fantasy AU

Just looking through the mark scheme for an English exam, and I know the word is used in many places, but um:
