Eda’s moving castle
(Decided to do a mix of the book and the movie here, with the general characters more like the books but keeping the bird monster transformation from the movie, but the John Donne poem curse of the book etc)

I absolutely adore the "Eda is Howl and Raine is Sophie" AU (and am sharing links to art and fics at the bottom of this post because they're all so good!). But may I suggest - that's what the story looks like from Raine's point of view. From Eda's point of view, it looks like this:
Update: here's the coloured version:
Reference, further thoughts and links to other fanworks under cut!
Just look at Raine Rizzpers. They're this handsome, dashing, incredibly powerful magician who wears a dangly earring and a glorious off-the-shoulder coat.
Imagine:
- Eda has to hide from coven scouts and Raine uses their magic to whisk her away. Of course where Sophie is initially terrified of walking in the sky Eda is immediately delighted and laughs instead of yelping. And Raine literally does the same "soldiers/scouts turn away and march away" magic in the BATTs intro as Howl does in the movie intro, right? Same magic! So Raine and Eda have a lovely time together (longer than Howl and Sophie, maybe even the whole day?) because they form an immediate connection, just like in "Them's the breaks, kid".
- Then Eda gets cursed, which makes her age prematurely and run away from home. She finds an old house in the wilderness. Unlike in TOH canon, the house is inhabited not only by Hootcifer but also occasionally by Raine. (Or maybe the house is not the Owl House but the BATTs headquarters, and the 3 BATTs are the equivalent of Calcifer, Markl abd Heen?)
- either way Raine going on BATT missions, disguised as a bat, is the equivalent of Howl going to war in bird form.
- unfortunately Raine doesn't seem to recognise her. She thinks it's because of her curse, but finds out that Raine's heart and memories seemingly have been locked away (Terra's potion).
- since Eda lost her magic to the curse, now Raine is the only magician in this relationship. But even without her magic Eda refuses to leave. She just kind of aggressively adopts Raine, citing old woman privilege, because of course she's immediately worried about the effects of the curse on the person she met that day and couldn't forget since.
- some kind of confrontation between Eda and Terra (madam Suleiman equivalent). Raine was going to go themself, unlike Howl, but Eda somehow preempted them and went instead of them, using an illusion to look like Raine, just like in canon! And then Terra sees through the illusion and everything falls apart but in the end they still find each other...🥺
*Slaps AU* This baby can fit SO MUCH mutual pining in it!
The reason why I love Raeda so much is that both of them are the Howl and the Sophie in this relationship.
Anyway here are the amazing other fanworks!
AND ALL OF THIS TAG ON INSTAGRAM!!

Apologies for the delay on the poll! Mod Hermann's home life got a bit hectic but they're BACK TO PUT AN END TO THIS BATTLE ONCE AND FOR ALL!
Who shall come out victorious: A rugby playing Welshman with a flair for the dramatic, or the greatest, and best dressed, milf witch in the Boiling Isles?
Submit your propaganda, and LET THE BATTLE BEGIN

First part in turning the owl house into Ghibli movies is “Eda’s Moving Castle”. The more I thought about it the more perfectly all the other characters in the show fit into it.
