Two little mages what will they do, the thrilling sequel

AU list!

Adventure Forward (Roblox) Alternate Universes + Summaries

i have no consistency in what i include in these summaries lmao

Pog AU/Gaming AU - literally just a shitpost turned into an AU. its great! story is the same as canon AF but with gaming stuff instead of stars

Nobody Gets Hurt/NGH AU - Basically Cyalm has no evil intents but still has the narrative, so they go around asking the AF2 prepoints if they want to be Points and if they want to take part. The narrative of AF1 and AF2 still happens, and at the end it's revealed it was all staged! SS2 is either annoyed or finds it funny (depends on the interpretation.) they try to do AF3:VR as well but it all falls flat on its face and the theoretical Shard Savior's reaction also depends on interpretaion.

^NGH AU TL/DR: Cyalm has no evil and kindly asks the prepoints to be in the narrative. af2 and af3 happen like plays where its not actually real but the saviors dont know that at first.

McCyalm's - The classic! The concept of McCyalms came into existence during a Scouts/BSA camping trip, on Sunday, November 28th, 2020. One of the adults joked that there was a McDonald's in one of the trees. I thought "Well how can I make this funnier?" So I took a picture of the tree, and one with me knocking on it. I drew Cyalm in a McDonald's uniform inside the tree! There's not actually any lore or story to this AU/Concept, it's really just a joke that I consider an AU.

Nightmare/NM AU - (split into parts due to longness)

NM!AF1 - A dark corruption takes over Maytown, trapping citizens in nightmares. A young savior goes around freeing them from these nightmares, gaining the title "Dream Savior." DS1's name is Christian (?) (i swear updated his name but i cant find it). Once the nightmares are gone, he goes to Shadow Hill to face the supposed entity behind the nightmares. There they face what would appear to be "Stratosfear," who fades away, leaving the Savior surrounded by nightmare versions of his friends, the prepoints. He becomes overwhelmed and succumbs to these nightmares.

NM!AF2 - With the Dream Savior and the prepoints having gone missing two years prior, A new Savior is summoned to the Sky Emporium. Cyalm is not present so the new savior stumbles to the first world. Each Point is trapped inside their nightmares, taking form as the worlds. They all attack the Second Savior, thinking she's the corruption that caused all this. (DS2 is Ava, younger sister of the first savior.) A point named Lecia saves Ava in the first world and guides her through the worlds. Ixol is not corrupted by these nightmares, doesn't know DS1 or 2, and is very kind to Ava. In world 10, Ava encounters a point who reminds her of the first savior, and after he leaves, is faced by a corrupted Lecia. Ixol helps at the end, and the three go and find Yawgate.

NM!AU ending - Ok i didnt intend to do a story dump but uh. yeha theres a lot here. Basically the final part is--Yawgate leads the three to a corrupted pocket dimension, where they face the corrupted entity: Chronosequence, a fusion of Pasless and Morward that was corrupted by their matching aspects. This fusion pointifies Ava mid-fight, and in the end Chronosequence is defeated. The points are freed from the nightmares, and the two dream saviors are reunited.

ok that took a while anyways.

Last ones Left/LOsL AU - If someone is pointified, it (in a way) kills them and permanently deletes their memories. Cyalm abuses this power, permanently deleting who they were. Cyalm is Miobot/Mino's creator in this AU, and tries to erase their memories multiple times when they "get too nice". Though because Miobot is a robot, their memories aren't fully erased and come back later. Stratosfear's memories are not fully erased either, since they're actually a cyborg :] LOsL!Cyalm sucks we all hate them. cue LOsL!strat and mino beating the shit out of LOsL!Cyalm <3

Shunned Down Saviors/SDS AU - The world consists of various fantastical and supernatural species, but also humans. Humans are seen as the weakest species, and almost everyones freaking racist because they think humnas aren't capable of anything. SDS!SS1 is Jobos (he/xe), a half-human half-wizard who thinks he's 100% human, doesn't think mirror reflections are real, and feels like he's worthless even after defeating stratosfear. as stratosfear xe has no hope in SS2 or SS3 since xe learnt he wasn't 100% human. SDS!SS2 is Keschian (they/them), a lil babby who's insecure about their worth because of all the discrimination </3. Ploque is the best point in this AU hands down. shes very caring for the second savior and isnt actually racist!! SDS!Shard Savior is Tulip (she/it) and is very confident in herself. she takes pride in mental stability and strategy rather then brute strength. when Celesteal comes back at the end of SDS!AF3VR the saviors just seal them in a dimension because this cyalm also sucks. :]

dear god thats all 6. that took very long to write :thumbs up emoji:

O k, i’ve been plaguing myself for days about this… A Sanders Sides / Little Shop of Horrors AU. SEE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE EASY, BUT LIKE… I CAN’T DECIDE WHO WORKS BETTER AS WHO. Just… read the notes below if you want to, I just. I need help. please.
(here they are in no particular order) (Oh, and Little Shop of Horrors Spoilers??? Does anyone even know Little Shop anymore? I hope so…)
Virgil
Okay so, realistically Seymour makes the most sense to me. Maybe its because his only character trait I can think of is ANXIOUS but you know, whatever. 
I guess technically he could be Audrey too? (not audrey two, though I’m labeling that planti boi as ‘Twoey’) She’s this shy character that won’t bring herself out of a relationship that’s… well bad. But I can’t see virgil willing to wear any of those ‘skimpy’ dresses.
I guess third choice is either mushnik or twoey (aka the plant). I don’t really see him as anything else, and HELL to the NO HE AIN’T GONNA BE ORIN.
Roman
Audrey is my optimal choice for him for three reasons. 1) She herself is a dreamer, even having the Somewhere That’s Green daydream song. 2) She is a less than optimal relationship which could be a tie to the Nostalgia video where he didnt want to let go of a long dead relationship. And 3) … i just really like prinxiety and ro in a dress, okay?
Theoretically he could be anybody (if this was them doing a stage production) 
Sadly, next up is a tie between Twoey and Orin, mostly cause of their singing roles and sass towards Seymour (Who is most likely gonna stay Virgil), but still. 
Seymour and Mushnik don’t really work for him as a character, niether sharing any traits with him. If the sides themselves were putting on a production though, he would 1000% be Seymour because Main Character Drama.
Logan 
I think Logan would do well for any male character, just not Audrey. She is SO not him,
I feel that Mushnik works well for him and his general lack for anything not logical. Mushnik worries, sure, but he is more business oriented. Plus his deduction skills during ‘Suppertime’ would be highlighted as the Logical one of the group.
Seymour works too, but only because I feel like he’s the only one to have a ‘strange plant hobby’. Also, he’d be the only one.. dare I say it, dumb enough to feed a plant blood, just to see what happens. 
Also there’s a line where the plant calls Seymour ‘Sherlock’… so how could I not???
Orin could also work as Logan since he’s - again - business oriented. He puts pride into his work, even though he lacks the emotion outside of it. 
Twoey works… but it’s funnier to see him as a joke and giving him Crofters instead of blood. Just like, “This isn’t what I asked for!” “oh wait shit nevermind, more o dis pls.” 
Deceit
Okay, obviously only bad guy roles for Deceit. Maybe this will change if he gets a redemption, but for now… N o .
Twoey and Orin are tied for me, and hands down they have the coolest friggin designs to work around. Twoey is a trickster by nature, and Orin just straight up gives me Deceit vibes with how he handles patients and Audrey. It works well for them both… BUT WHO IS BETTER?!
Mushnik is a solid third since I would hope to have Deceit as someone else, but Mushnik is pretty deceitful himself, getting Seymour to sign adoption papers so that he can have money. That Schmuck…
Yeah, no fuckin’ way he’s being Seymour or Audrey.
Patton
Patton works well as anyone except Orin and Twoey, but like… I like him as Twoey.
I think of Twoey as what it is, a Venus fly trap. The irl plant attracts prey in with a sweet smelling/tasting substance between it’s jaws. So I’ve always entertained the thought of a sweet Twoey, luring people in with it’s candied thoughts of what the future will be… then devouring ones that fall for its sweet appearance
… Okay, I just like evil Patton and I had no one else drawn as Twoey at that point. get off my deeyeck.
Audrey and Seymour seem to work well as they are both kind, forgiving, loving characters. Seymour nursing little Twoey and not having the courage to stand up to it until its too late seems reasonable when you’re morality. Same for if he’s Audrey and can’t get themselves out of an abusive relationship, maybe a connection to Nostalgia pt 2 again with him not wanting to let go of the past good times.
And mushnik… technically he doesn’t work, but it’s cute to think he would really want to call Seymour his son. And he’d wear his dad cardigan for heckin’ sure.
Did anyone ask for this? No. But now it’s here, please help me. 
(Oh and the omnipotent urchin people would totally be Joan, Terrence, Valerie, and/or Tayln, because why the fuck wouldn’t they be?)

Director’s commentary Bark Tower Remix and Queer Eye

Well my main inspiration for the Bark Tower remix was that it was a gift for you and I wanted it to be something you would like! Also I loved the domestic fluff (with a side dish of scheming) that you wrote in the first place so I just wanted to do...more of that. Literal fluff! Because fur. 

"What? What's not to like about dogs?"

"They're so...ugh, they lick you, and jump on you, and they have that smell, and you have to clean up after them…" Tony trailed off, a comical look of disgust on his face.

"Wow. Okay. So you're a cat person?"

"More of a robot person."

My take that I fear may be too hot for the internet is that I basically agree with Tony about dogs!! But I did my best to channel my inner Bruce and come up with a basic approximation of what’s theoretically appealing about dogs??? I mean they’re cute I guess?????? Also Bruce obviously loves them and I want Bruce to be happy!!!!!

Tony put his arm around Bruce's shoulders and said, "Aw, now that you mention it, I guess I do get the appeal of adopting strays."

"Oh yeah? So it's okay if I lick you and jump on you?"

"Mm-hmm, in fact, I encourage it. After you've washed the dog spit off your hands."

Seriously wash your hands, Bruce!! You don’t know where that dog has been.

"Hey, Bruce, I can walk your dogs, whenever you're busy," Steve said. Diogenes licked his face. "Do they need to be walked right now? I think we can adjourn the meeting."

Steve is basically a puppy so I’m glad he got a pack to bond to.

Tony crossed his arms. "Well, they can't sleep with us, Bruce, it's not hygenic. And I don't think there's even room for the big one."

Bruce nodded. "Sure, Tony, that's reasonable,” he said. “I'll pick up a couple of dog beds this afternoon."

The story ends shortly after this but for the record I believe that rule lasts for about 2.5 days before they’re sleeping in a cuddle pile of dogs.

As to the Queer Eye fic, that one definitely started from this Tumblr post that was inspired by all of those Bachelor AU posts that were going around and then after I made the initial post about it I just kept thinking about how much help Bruce needs!! It’s offensive to me that no one in canon has given Bruce this help!! He needs the Fab 5!!

My biggest problem with this was making sure to give dialogue to people other than Jonathan because Jonathan is my favorite obviously. 

My favorite part about this was when I realized I could write it in script format and not have to worry about writing too much action/descriptors. Just dialogue! The best part of writing! It’s like when you go to college and realize no one will stop you from having soft serve ice cream at every meal! 

JONATHAN:So it turns out that for national security reasons we can't show you any of Bruce's research! Also honestly I did not understand a single word he said after "um"! He's clearly a total genius babe though.

INT: LabBRUCE:...so, yeah, you probably shouldn't touch anything in here.

Plus ALSO I didn’t even have to TRY to write fake science! Why do I ever write anything besides this. So easy!

JONATHAN:You know Tony Stark is crazy rich, right? He could buy like a billion T-shirts.

BRUCE:Yeah….

JONATHAN:Like literally one billion T-shirts.

Literally.

JONATHAN:(Shuts door)You’re a doctor, right? Like a medical doctor?

BRUCE:Yes, I did a dual MD/PhD.

JONATHAN:Okay, so you have to help me out. I’m dying.

BRUCE:What’s wrong? What are your symptoms?

JONATHAN:I’m dying…of curiosity! Seriously, you’re telling me you and Tony are just friends? Just totally 100% platonic friends?

I really did give Jonathan all the best lines, huh.

BRUCE:Okay. If I get some different shampoo will you please stop yelling at me?

JONATHAN:No, I also need to tell you about essential oils! They’ll help you relax!

Nothing is funnier to me than Bruce getting calming essential oils.

KARAMO:You know what, so do I. But I still need to take a break once in awhile so I don’t get burned out. I like to work out, read, go out to shows...what do you like to do? Besides, you know, look through microscopes.

BRUCE:...Look through microscopes?

KARAMO:I'm sorry, I don't really understand what you do.

Me neither, Karamo.

KARAMO: I was waiting so long to do that! I've never met anybody who needed a hug more than Bruce Banner.

So true, Karamo.

JONATHAN:Full disclosure, before we left for the day, I went to spy on them in the living room and they were actually just watching Jeopardy. Not any canoodling at all! I could not believe.

ANTONI:I'm not sure you were as stealthy as you thought you were.

JONATHAN:How dare you, I was full Nancy Drew. No, I was full Lucy Liu in Charlie's Angels.

They definitely saw him but pretended that they didn’t.

On this specific project I was so lucky to meet and work with Tony Stark, whose brilliance is obviously well-known. But in addition to his technical expertise, he also treated me with such...humanity, during a time when that was in shorter supply, and that support kept me going through...through everything. And I know we're in some...some scary new times, but I just think that if there's anything that we as scientists, as humans, should keep in mind going forward, it's just that we're stronger together than we are apart.

I knew that the phrase “stronger together” was in my head from something but I didn’t figure out that it was from Hillary’s campaign until after I posted the story. But honestly Bruce Banner probably did the same thing when he was writing his speech, he’s #WithHer.

PS I wrote most of the first draft on my phone while traveling and a) it kind of fucked up my thumb and b) taught my autocorrect to assume that any time I type “B” I’m going to say “BRUCE.”

HMMM that’s probably all I have to say about that! 

If you or anyone have questions about specific things feel free to hit me up, I’m on the desk for 2 more hours and there are like 4 people in the entire library.
