there are so many ‘best’ AUs and the ones I label as they best definitely change according to my mood but right now the BEST kind is the kind where the AU reveals that in different circumstances the two characters end up in completely opposite roles in their dynamic because the SOULMATISM of it all—the realization that these people respond EXACTLY the same way to things—THATS EVERYTHING TO ME RIGHT NOW

#OKAY YEAH THIS IS FUELED BY ME GETTING OBSESSED WITH THE PREMISE OF MY OWN WIP blablablah self obsorbed blablablah touch grass #DO I LOOK LIKE I CARE #the prev post about enemies who make each other who they are—YEAH I MEANT IT WHEN I SAID IT IMPACTED ME #BECAUSE THAT DYNAMIC IS SO GOOD #I’m obsessed with the character everyone sees as the darker one being CANONICALLY hopeful to a fault #being SO DRIVEN by the need to do good that it perhaps morally corrupts him beyond any return #and I’m OBSESSED with his counterpart being the OPPOSITE she said ‘yes I’m cynical what about it’ AND SHES SO RIGHT FOR THAT #and I’m OBSESSED with moving their interactions to a time BEFORE his hope was corrupted. BECause the thing is she can actually be #the very thing that turns his hope into reality. She just needs to STOP BEING SO CYNICAL #AND I LOVE THAT #Aleksander: canonically is fueled by his hope to build a sanctuary for those unprotected by society and those literally hunted for their #existence (canonicaly spends hundreds of years doing this)#Alina: canonically assumes the worst (yes she’s valid I’m not saying she’s not. she’s also just very oh no looky here another FUCKING THING #TO DEAL WITH) (at SEVENTEEN YEARS OF AGE)#and yes I know these two people are actually terrible for each other (specifically uhh aleksander is terrible for Alina) but the IDEA that #in different circumstances they wouldn’t be—#LET ME HAVE IT OKAY LET ME HAVE JT #it’s just funny that aleksander is like that because of the hundreds of years he spent learning that loss is inevitable and it might as well #serve a purpose #and Alina is like that because she’s had enough shit by age seventeen that she’s just gonna fuck shit up if one more thing goes wrong #also no in this Alina does not become a despot that’s not the point the point is she becomes incredibly world weary and apathetic while #aleksander is the one who is doing his damndest to help the world
