fuck it. extremely quick and incomprehensible sketch of my tma genshin impact au. eat it.
the plot follows the aftermath of the reconstruction of the Fontaine Research Institute under Jonah Magnus, a mysterious now deceased patron from its inception whose will was endowed to its re-building. Jonathan Sims (dendro catslyst), its head archivist, now back home freshly graduated from the Sumeru Akademia, and adventurer-turned-researcher Martin Blackwood (cryo bow), and their colleagues, will soon discover the horrifying secrets behind it all…
so this is an au im trying to fit in the exact parameters of genshin lore. in my ideal world, the plot of this au will be happening at the Same Time as the genshin impact plot but the traveler doesn’t see it because theyre too busy with their own shit. maybe the characters from genshin and the tma characters know eachother.
that means no entities or special avatar powers beyond that a vision can grant them!!
this au has been in my brain for months i have a lot planned out so please feel free to ask me things, whether its plot, character or kit related! wanna talk about this boy so bad
(edit: WHOOPS FORGOT. good portion of the stuff here like the soundwave effects on jon’s magic stuff and bow user martin were inspired by @mothocean’s kit ideas for jmart in genshin !)
basic ideas and concept art below the cut
character concept art sketched onto the basic genshin model:

AU projection time after having my daily anxiety attack about the fact ima go blind:
Jon has JMD (Juvenile Macular Degeneration) and never realized it when he's younger. It starts to progress a bit before the beginning of season one, but because of everything that happens in season one, season 2 is basically Jon not taking care of himself, so he never goes to the eye doctor to get it checked up on.
Over time, as his vision weakens, he needs to rely on the statements less and because his connection to the eye is slowly weakening. He also gets increasingly clumsy because his vision is starting to get blotchy, but he just waves it off as lack of sleep. It starts to get real bad in the beginning of season 3 until about a bit past mid season 3, he goes legally blind, weakening his connection with the eye, allowing him, Martin, Melanie, Basira, Daisy, and Tim to quit.
Tim and Melanie both distance themselves as much as possible from Jon as fast as possible while Daisy and Basira don't actively ignore Jon, but they don't try and reach out to contact him. Martin ends up moving in with Jon to help care for him with his "only kinda being able to see" thing and they end up becoming very close.
One day, while Martin is making him tea, Jon just asks him out, out of the blue, and then they start dating. Enter a bunch of romance here. After this, Jon decides to see if he can reconnect with his ol trauma buddies and ends up healing his relationship with Tim, Melanie, and Georgie and creating a bit more of a bond between him and Basira. He and Daisy, as Daisy has gone cold turkey in this au too thanks from help from Basira, become really good friends like in the og universe
Oh, and this whole time Elias is pissed cause his entire 3 year project is ruined and Annabelle is just exasperated. She is in a "Mother of Puppets, we have to do this all again. Hhhhhhh" kinda mood till she finds another potential child to send a creepy book and traumatize
Of course, she still sends the occasional "I'm still watching you Jon" spiders to the couple's house, scarring the shit outta Jon cause the spiders are the only thing he can see with any clarity with his awful vision, which is the point
But for the most part, they all live supernatural free lives. And since his connection with the eye isn't totally severed, Jon still gets little bits of info about what Annabelle and Elias's plan was for him. But this time, he gets actual time to properly grieve with a therapist about it
Oh, and when Jon and Martin got married in this au, they moved to Switzerland, of course

hm. tell me more about tma x p5 au pretty pleases
well hello there mystery asker yes i will tell you things about tma x p5 au
it has a plot. kind of. this plot is about 75% p5 and 25% tma (more tma towards the end)
the phantom thieves are hunting monsters? are they at risk of becoming the monsters themselves? uh it's fine don't worry about it
not all of them are hunt aligned specifically. joker and ryuji are tho
the shido conspiracy is a web thing. akechi is also a web avatar he is torn because he hates shido and everything he stands for but also he loves being a manipulative little bitch so this is very hard for him you see
the thieves know Nothing about the entities. they're just Guessing
especially pre futaba joining. futaba knows some stuff bc wakaba was researching the fears
she still doesn't know a lot
the major cases being investigated are the ones to do with the palace rulers, but the thieves have taken out more avatars than that (the equivalent of mementos requests + also the strikers monarchs being transplanted into the original game timeline because of the timeline of the au)
akira has fought avatars of. basically every entity, though he doesn't know this. is this relevant? plot important even? well :)
takemi is end-aligned. she's kind of got a similar no fear thing to georgie, except she's done more research into the entities so she has more knowledge which is why she's able to help akira with injuries such as uh. bone got turned
most of the non thief confidants are regular people, though some of them have had encounters with the supernatural
sojiro acts like he doesn't believe in any supernatural stuff but this is because he knows that poking her head too far in was probably what got wakaba killed and hes trying to protect akira + futaba from it
yaldabaoth and the web are being kind of smashed together here
please ask me more about specific things or characters i have little drabbles on half this stuff either in my brain or already written

Y'all wanna hear a like half-baked AU I've been rotating in my brain for a little while?
Of course you do here it is: (also SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT)
The OG four (like Jon, Sasha, Tim, and Martin) making it through all five seasons and all becoming Avatars
Like they're all fighting against Jonah and trekking through the hellish landscape and they're all badass eldritch horrors
Like there's Jon and Martin who haven't changed (Eye and Lonely, respectively)
Tim is so Desolation aligned it is astounding, like in the first few seasons his whole thing was burning and destroying things ("If you get killed by improperly filed statements, me and Martin will... Burn this place to the ground."), and he literally did blow up a whole Avatar ritual in s3. I fully believe that if he had made it he would have been a very interesting prospect to the Lightless Flame
Sasha could honestly be aligned to just about anything but just to make it interesting, let's align her with the thing that ultimately got her killed (the table that she was looking at when the NotThem killed her in the original universe). No, I don't mean the Stranger - I've decided Sasha is Web aligned 🎉!
So what's the deal? How do Tim and Sasha make it through to the end with our favorite boys? That still needs to be fleshed out but I have a basic idea - a coma for Tim would work given that that's how Jon not only survived the explosion but also achieved Avatarship, and maybe Sasha defends against the NotThem long enough for her to get out of Artefact Storage and actually catch the many eyes of the Web

Of course it’s Luther who found him. He knew it would be. Luther always seems to know exactly where Ethan is, no matter how far away they are.
A Mission:Impossible Rogue Nation Magnus Archives AU where most of the IMF is avatars and Vast avatar Ethan has just had a particularly bad encounter with Web-aligned Solomon Lane and his Flesh pal the Bone Doctor...

for the hurt/comfort prompts: Feeblemind with Vax and Pike?
I spent a chunk of time thinking about this one before remembering Everything with the Stranger in TMA. So. Magnus Archives AU it is.
Fear comes in like a tide and non-being with it - everyone around him is faceless, prosopagnosia imposed from without, voices nothing but meaningless babble and he himself is drifting.
Every time before he's run into the Stranger he had- he had...
Someone else. He can't recall their name or face but he had someone else, someone to anchor him, someone he recognised as easily as he did himself because they were almost a reflection of himself.
None of that here. None of that at all. Instead he drifts and it's like he's... not.
Something is yelling.
Over the babbling, random noise of the crowd around him, he can hear someone speaking to him- oh, someone is holding his hand? They're talking loudly, possibly at him, he thinks, possibly repeating something and their shoulders slump before dragging him to one side, pulling him down.
And then there is a light that is Blinding.
"Vax?"
That's- that's him. That's him.
"Vax!" The voice says again, louder and worried. "Shit, did I go overboard? Can you see?"
Oh. It's Pike.
"A little," he manages. "Shit, Pickle-"
"Oh no," Pike says. "Oh dear-"
But he can see something at the edges. Percy was probably right after all: being tied to the Eye probably does protect your own a bit doesn't it? It wants them to have them to maintain it's hold on them after all.
"Pickle," he says, slumping onto what feels like the gritty floor of an alleyway. "I really hate the Stranger."

For the fanfic requests - moth jon jmart?
I haven't engaged much with this AU so if I'm going against popular fannon please forgive me XD
----------
Jon had always been more curious then he should have been. It resulted in his wings being singed more then once, he'd spent a day unable to fly after getting them a little crumples squeezing through a space to small for him. He didn't tell anyone about that, he was already isolated enough from his tribe he didn't need to be completely banished for putting them in danger if the humans found out about them.
There were plenty of creatures like them, slipping through the cracks and flitting around the edges of the world. It was best to avoid being seen directly, a niggling doubt that what they'd seen had really been a frog, or a squirrel, or a moth, but never certainty until it was to late.
Maybe that was why he'd been born with the eye pattern on his wings, not the most common, and perhaps a bad omen for his impending curiosity. His grandmother had never been able to keep him from wandering off, by the time she dies he understood why he shouldn't, but that rarely stopped him. Now he had less holding him back from seeing everything he wanted to see!
But now, well now he was in trouble, he had been watching a human. He was kind, he seemed nice! He brought insects outside rather then killing them and he spoke softly to himself when he was alone, which was most of the time. Jon was obsessive, always wanting to know more, so when he saw the window was open how was he to resist the pull of seeing, of Knowing? So he'd flitted inside, exploring the space Martin called home.
No one was in the room at the moment so he was free to explore, reading the titles of the books on Martin's shelf and seeing what he kept on his desk. Until he heard a creek, and a slide, and turned and saw that the window was closing by itself! He dove towards it but didn't arrive in time, slamming against the glass with a soft thump, frail form crumpling to the windowsill as the window slammed shut, catching the edge of his wing and trapping him.
"Oh it always does that!" Jon hears a familiar voice in a tone of gentle exasperation, footsteps coming closer as the moth remains frozen. "I need to get that window replac-Oh! Hello little thing," He said, sounding affectionate and sympathetic making Jon whimper near silently, keeping his head down, please think he was just a normal moth.
"Don't worry," Martin said reaching down towards him as Jon fluttered frantically. "Stop that you'll tear your wing!" Martin fretted before he grabbed the window and opened it just enough for Jon to pull loose, fluttering frantically but his wing was crumpled and he couldn't take off, when he tried and fell Martin caught him, cradling him gently in two soft, warm hands.
He shouldn't of, he knew he shouldn't of, but he looked up into those gentle blue eyes, Wrapping four small hands around one of Martin's thumbs to brace himself. "Oh," Martin sounded, his eyes widening as the small moth and the big human stared at each other for a long, silent moment.
"Please don't tell anyone," Jon pleaded faintly, making the human gasp.
"What are you?" Martin asked making Jon wince.
"I'm um, I'm a moth?" Jon said, folding his wings down along his back and twitching his antenna. "Just not a normal one?" He didn't want to explain the whole thing, if he was going to get in trouble he could at least try to keep the others like him out of trouble.
"Oh om, of course, I'm sorry I don't mean to be rude. Are you alright?" Martin asked, and Jon was surprised by how well he was taking it in stride, his concern winning out.
"Well, I won't be able to fly again right away," Jon said, testing his wing gingerly. "But I'll be alright, if you'll just-just put me back outside I can manage?" He said uncertainly.
"Are you sure? it might be dangerous when you can't fly right?" Martin asked, carrying Jon over to his desk and flattening his hands against the table so Jon could carefully hop off. "You can stay here till you're well, and if there's anything I can do to help?"
"Are you sure you just don't want time to call someone to show off the weird thing you found?" Jon asked suspiciously.
"What!? No!" Martin said sounding aghast, "I wouldn't so that I swear!" And really, deep down Jon knew that, he'd been watching Martin long enough.
He chuckled and shook his head a little at himself, looking up at Martin again with a little smile. "Alright, Um, my name is Jon by the way," He said shyly, it was actually really nice to talk to the human he'd been sort of obsessing over for the last while.
"I'm Martin," He said, hesitating before holding out his hand with a finger extended so Jon could take it in two of his hands and shake it carefully. "It's nice to meet you."

I got too quirky and did Volo as an avatar of The Dark because I’m listening to The Magnus Archives again
basically his whole shtick is that he’s “normal” under bright lights but eletric lights get dimmer and crappy around him and fire gives off way less heat, if you look into his eyes your vision gets darker until you’re fully seeing black. If it gets dark is when he gets real scary and he only goes full-on creature if in full darkness :0
I’ll probably make this a full blown AU because I have so many ideas ohh boy

TMA au: Hux is a long suffering archivist, Ben is a researcher who throws himself into danger willingly and with reckless abandon
Fandom: Star Wars, The Magnus Archives AU
Characters: Ben Solo, Hux (Kylux), Mary Keay
Content: Horror, supernatural
Tumblr media
[There is a click indicating a tape recorder turning on and a slight whirring sound.]
Hux: This is the statement of Benjamin Organa-Solo, researcher of the Magnus Institute. Recording by the Head Archivist of the Magnus institute- [There is a pause and a clearing of his throat.] Armitage Hux. Statement begins.
Ben: I don’t know why you insist on saying your birth name when you hate it so much.
Hux: This is an official record, Ben. Now, tell me what happened.
Ben: Is all this necessary? Can’t we wait until we get back to the Archive tomorrow?
Hux: We have to do it now, Ben. Whilst it’s fresh in our minds. Plus, I want to know what possessed to you run head long into danger like- [Hux takes a deep breath before pausing for a moment.] Just… Humour me. Tell me what happened. Please.
Ben: Fine. I guess you did help me clean and sew me back up. Okay, so, this morning… I. [Ben takes a deep breath and swallows.] This morning. I told you about that bookshop on the way to the Archive, right? It’s always got this weird vibe, it’s always empty, and it’s only open for like three hours in the morning. I know you said to leave it alone, wait to see if there’s any reason to investigate but… [Ben sighs.] Look, something was up and I didn’t want to wait for someone to come in hurt or worse to do something about it.
Hux: And now you’re lucky your not dead.
Ben: Do you normally interrupt people when they’re giving a statement?
Hux: I- no-
Ben: Plus you’re being really judgemental right now.
Hux: You’re right. I’m sorry. I’m just worried, please continue.
Ben: Anyway, I was on my way to work this morning and I had a look in the window. Now, the weird thing about this place is the books they have on display. They never have any words on the covers, no pictures, nothing. They’re just all bound in old leather. Like- well- you know…
Hux: A Leitner.
Ben: Bingo. And this time it… Do you remember that statement, I don’t remember which. You know me I’m shit with numbers and names. But it was the one of the Mary Keay ones. And the guy, there was the images in the book with the cliffs and the tower? Well, in the window, in the usual display one of the books was open. It was on a display thing propped open, with the wood carvings that guy described. The cliffs. The tower. It was all there. And I felt the same feeling of vertigo. I thought I was gonna throw up as I stood on the pavement staring at that book- [Ben sighed and clicked his tongue.] Hux. You’re doing it again.
Hux: What?
Ben: You’re being judgemental.
Hux: I didn’t say anything!
Ben: You didn’t have to.
Hux: I just wish you came to me first.
Ben: Look, can I finish the story?
Hux: I’m sorry. Continue.
Ben: So, anyway, I had to go in. I know, I know, you think going in alone was stupid but… Look, I know about your whole deal with Juergen Leitner and I didn’t want- ugh. I just didn’t want to worry you. [Hux gave a badly disguised snort of derision, trying to pass it off as a cough.] This place. It’s called Quay Books. That’s weird, right? Quay. Keay. You know? Anyway. So I walk in, and it’s only open 8.30am to 11.30am. It was nearly 10, if I waited until my lunch break or went to the archive to- I just think I’d have missed my chance.
Hux: That might not have been a bad thing.
Ben: You’re not normally this chatty during statements.
Hux: I apologise. Continue.
Ben: I went in, and as soon as I did I could feel the dust in the back of my throat. It smelt damp and like no one had been in there for a long time. There was a counter and a till that was covered in a thick layer of grime and filth. There was no one there and it didn’t look like there had been for a while which is weird because… Like, every time I passed in the morning, the sign said open, on my way home it said closed. So, someone was moving the sign. Anyway, I took advantage of the fact it was empty and went to the window display. When I tried to take the open book however, the pages had changed. Fuck- [It goes quiet for a moment.]
Hux: Ben? Are you okay?
Ben: I feel… dizzy. Like I’m going to be sick. I- I’m fine. Anyway, I went to- I closed it. I definitely saw the cliffs and the tower before I did. But. The cover was blank. Which was weird, because I was sure the one from the statement had a name. The first page definitely had the familiar ‘From the Library of Jurgen Leitner’ stamp though, so that confirmed what I already knew about this place. So, I flicked right through and… It was. Look, instead of the cliffs and tower there were waves and a ship. And I felt like… Like my feet were unstable and the wooden floor had become the deck of a boat. And that was when- that was when there was a voice. From behind me. It just came out like a hiss. It was a woman. And she just said put it down. I protectively wrapped my right arm around it and I have no idea why. I don’t- I’m glad I don’t have it but in that moment I would have fucking jumped off a cliff if it meant I didn’t have to let it go. That’s normal for a Leitner, right?
Hux: From what I know, yes.
Ben: Anyway, this woman, I guess she looked like Mary Keay. I don’t know. She was a skeletal old woman with a shaved head and words on her scalp in what could have been Sanskrit. That was how that guy described Mary Keay, right? Except… I don’t know. It could’ve been anyone. I think she was a lot taller than her, you know? Anyway, I went to question her. Well, not even question her. I hadn’t got that far. I was just about to speak and she let out this screech. It was this high pitched, howling noise that sent a chill through my body like you get from hearing nails on a chalkboard. She pounced on me. Her long sharp nails scratching at my neck, cutting me open and pushing beneath my skin. I panicked. And- and I threw the book away across the room. I guess it was on instinct. I don’t know. She chased after it on all fours like a cat. And I ran out of there. I know I shouldn’t have. And I know I should have come to work. And I know I should have called and not just ran home. But… I … Panicked. So, that’s it. Statement ends, I guess.
Hux: I’m glad you did. Who knows what could’ve happened if you’d have fought her. Well, this is… a relief.
Ben: What? How? I didn’t get the book or any information.
Hux: You survived. You got away only needing a few stitches. And I’m happy you’re okay.
Ben: I can take you there. Or. Not you but. I can show you and…
Hux: I don’t think that’s possible.
Ben: What do you mean?
Hux: The… the shop you’re describing. It’s not there.
Ben: What? What do you mean?
Hux: This is the place you mentioned the other day, right? You said it was between the Oxfam shop and the coffee place?
Ben: Yeah. That’s it.
Hux: There’s nothing there.
Ben: You… No you must be thinking of-
Hux: There’s a sign saying “Quay Books”. But it’s empty. It has been every time I’ve gone past.
Ben: Well. That’s… Thats fucking weird. Jesus. So you don’t believe me then?
Hux: I didn’t say that. Maybe you should work from home for a while until we get to the bottom of this. Maybe we both should. I could even work out some security.
Ben: Wait, so you do believe me?
Hux: Of course I do. And. I don’t take any chances when it comes to a Leitner. End of recording.
