Who had late Victorian Scooby Doo on their 2024 bingo card? Hmm?

Trolls Pirate AU

They send him in as a distraction, if you see him at the front door you’re probably about to get robbed or your house is currently being raided without you knowing.

[shurikthereject]

This is an AU ive been head over heels for weeks now. This is a pirate/gothic/paranormal/victorian era universe where Bilbo is a a british aristocrat that dwells in writing but never publishes anything. Recently there has been odd disturbances in his home that nothing rational could explain, there was a paranormal presence living in his house. Bilbo later finds out that the ghost of a once great pirate was haunting his home, a soul that is bound to forever wander the living world in the same state that it died. Thorin, the pirate ghost, lost his entire crew to Smaug, an enemy to his family. He died in a public execution done by Smaug himself and his crew. Because of the grief and guilt, he is unable to find peace until he was brought to London in 1790 where he is supposed to get help from Bilbo to finally free his soul from the guilt. This is all i have at the moment and i honeslty dont know how far this au will go but i do have high hopes for it. So tell me if this au specifically would be interesting for yal!

w: hinted dark themes, dark romance?

Victorian AU where Reader moves to the secluded manor in the countryside as Lord Simon Riley has hired her to be a caretaker of the house. She barely sees him around, an odd yet respected man, but the cheery gardener Johnny keeps her company most of the time, walking by her side through the lawn swallowed by thick mist. 

As the winter approaches, she realizes there are no other living souls in the house than her, the Lord and Johnny. Some lies had been told and she started to doubt Simon’s true intentions of her stay here.

Something about that old manor is unsettling. Or rather, its residents.

Working on a longer piece, just need your patience. If you're interested.👉👈
