#The Nox AU

[queer-here-and-in-fear]

i think timestuck fiddleford is NEVER explored enough. simply because he should be the kids auto favorite and only ally. cause stan is Stan (i have a MULLET) and ford is possessed by bill. but fiddlefords only flaw is being gay and stupid.

so fiddleford has two kids clinging to his legs at any given time. which hes either taking to well (hoo-wee you two gotta lotta energy!) or horribly (do either of yall know what ta feed children. cause theres only milk and pepp'roni in the fridge.)

also yknow. bonding with mabel cause their energetic entities of chaos. and bonding with dipper because theyre both curious scientists with a LOT of anxiety in them.

Star Catcher; a mystical flying sorceress who catches wished-upon falling stars, making them come true with her magic of the skies. Her legend has long-since been forgotten, but a few still remain that look upon the stars hoping to see her flying amongst them.

Wanted to doodle a quick Star Catcher, as she was my favorite g3 pony besides Minty! The way she's drawn reminds me of G5's depiction of alicorn magic, and I thought a pegasus magician whose literally made of cosmic magic would be really cool. This also pertains to an old idea I had as a kid where there were pegasi with runes in their feathers that allowed them to cast magic!

Another oldie, also still really proud of this one! This was a birthday gift for @caramel-caracal! A silly drawing of their submas cowboy au which I love very much. Talk about taste!

This is semi a redraw too? From that scene in Spirit when he's running from the fire. Except, well, they may be the cause here.

Not that he could (unless she let him)

Hitoshi: *holding Nox like a naughty cat*

Nox: I crave violence!

Hitoshi: Kitten want a bagel?

Nox: The souls of my enemies

Hitoshi: Two bagels?

Nox: Noooooooooooo

[nox-lunarwing]

Drako: heyyy nox how are you? *smiles sheepishly missing one of hie forelegs*

*Nox was reading an old tome with some sort of ancient writing as she responds just before putting her book down*

I'm fine how abo- oh Sweet stars what happened!??

*Nox quickly rushes checking if he needs any additional medical attention and holds him close in a protective embrace before giving*

did somcreature do this to you!? Who was It!!!?

*Nox asks in a calm white hot fury*

( Mod: am assuming this isn't a fresh wound else Nox would whip out the medical supplies and use her healing magic to help with the wound first)

opens my hands like a pathetic little beggar. spare some jervis , spare some jervis for a poor poor hyperfixator ,

Of course, have some before villainy Jerv when he worked at Wayne tech :)

This anxious shit head is pretty similar to the btas version, but that's not really saying much considering how little lore btas gives on Jervis.

After college, he managed to get a job at Wayne Tech, where he worked alongside Alice. I'm unsure of Alice's job at Wayne tech in btas, but in my AU, Alice is also a scientist, working alongside Jervis in quite a few projects. Jervis would, of course, start developing feelings for Alice. He would try and do the right thing and not pursue Alice due to her already having a boyfriend.

The whole breakup thing happens with Alice and her boyfriend like btas, and basically everything else afterward is like the show.

I will probably flesh out his lore more later, but right now, I'm blanking on ideas.

I feel like this kind of chaotic support would be on brand for Nox and it brings me joy~ Nox belongs to @bonelyheartsclub, and is voiced by @improvidence318. I advocate for checking their blogs out~

au where both twins go through the portal in not what he seems. and ford finds them and helps them out of the nightmare realm.. but he cant keep them. so he goes to the safest dimension he cant think of: a better world.

alternate fiddleford and later alternate ford agree to watch them until ford can get them home. anyway, shenanigans Ensue.

including but not limited too:

grunkle stan, wendy, and soos raising every form of HELL known to man to get the twins back. maybe even getting mcgucket involved.. shermie learning stan Lost his Grandbabies.

og ford occasionally visiting over the months like a weird absent father. feeling so Strange but parental abt these kids.. maybe even taking them on Adventures. those end badly ofc.

the twins being so Weird and Sad abt fiddleford for reasons he doesnt get

alternate ford and dipper bonding over getting over their weird fucked up bill possession trauma.

ALTERNATE FIDDLEFORD GETS MABEL A PIG. WHO SHE NAMES STOMPS.

the kids marvelling over this weird but better (?) gravity falls with alternate versions of all the main cast influenced by fords work. such as:

thief wendy who was forced to steal after her dad lost the ability to lumber because ford made gf protected land.

gleefuls who are northwest level rich after gravity falls became more suburban.

northwests who payed ford to get rid of the ghosts AGES ago and therefore pacificas even worse

amateur cryptid hunters candy and grenda who come by the research center often. their ford and fiddles honorary nieces.

(YES i am going to be weird and sad abt how Definitely Gentrified gravity falls would be in this au)

and ofc: the twins trying their darndest to reconnect the brothers.

"Senses Training"

A little context so it's easier to understand; Mikey is wearing noise cancelling headphones to eliminate his hearing, forcing him to rely only on his Ninpo to give him a sense of his surroundings.

📚 final fantasy, your choice of numerical!

cracks knuckles

Okay let's imagine, for a minute, about Noctis who didn't manage to escape the fire in Tenebrae. Regis lost his grip, Noctis tried to squirm out of his hold to get to Luna, something. And for the next eight years, Noctis is raised as a ward of the Empire alongside Luna and Ravus, with all the gristly details that implies because Niflheim finally has their hands on the crown prince of their hated enemy.

The story starts with Noctis' long awaited return to Insomnia at the hands of Lieutenant Drautos when he's sixteen, eight long, long years after the tragic fire that took Queen Sylvia's life. There's been some paper thin excuse about Noctis staying in the Empire for "goodwill" but everyone knows that he's been a hostage, and the kingdom is ecstatic to have their prince back.

The big reunion between beloved father and son, and it's shattered when Noctis, in a polite, quiet Tenebrae accent, asks, "Do I know you, sir?" (Because that's not what his father looked like. That's not the dad who abandoned him, is it? He's too old, surely--)

The prince that's returned to them is a stranger. Neatly combed back hair, a fondness for Tenebrae white colors, soft spoken lilting accent and impeccable manners that betray nothing of what he thinks. It's only in private, when Ignis and Gladio desperately try to get him to open up and maybe talk to them that Noctis admits that he wants to go home, to his brother and sister. The best he can do is send letters with the Messengers, a small, fluffy black dog that Ignis swears wasn't there yesterday.

We cut between Ravus, Luna, and Noctis as the letters pass hands. Ravus, having been pressured into being in the military at eighteen so he could no longer protect his little siblings, traces over the harsh stroke of the pen in Noct's letters in the privacy of his tiny cabin. Luna scribbling out her loneliness and exhaustion over being the world's youngest Oracle for four years now, saying how much she misses the comforting weight of her little brother following her around during her duties.

The Ravus we find here is harder on the outside, but fiercely protective of Luna and Noctis. His hatred for Regis is even more intense, because how dare that man abandon his own son, yet banked even further down because he cannot afford to let these emotions show when he needs to protect them. It's not just that Luna is his precious little sister -- their mother wasn't done healing Noctis before she perished, and Noctis could only rely on them. Ravus is the only one who knows that the Empire was going to kill the boy, and it was only his quick thinking that convinced General Glauca to spare Noctis as a hostage.

Luna is more tired, more worn down. Not only is she the youngest Oracle with an impossible task, she did everything she possibly could to make sure Noctis traveled with her retinue so she could keep an eye on him and make sure the Empire didn't touch him. And now that he's gone, whisked away back to his "home", she finds herself working even harder just to cope with the loneliness.

Noctis is... well. He copes, as best he can, being a stranger in his own 'home' with chronic pain and no one knowing what really happened. Even his magic is different, leans more towards healing and the like rather than traditional Lucian faire, uses a rapier like his older brother when he goes to spar. Spends time with his dog, with Ignis trying to get him to want to meet with his father, training with Gladio in the ring and trying not to flinch at how big he is (not his fault, he's just. Big like Glauca.), tentatively making friends with Cor's hyperactive blonde kid named Prompto...

It isn't until Gladio sees Captain Drautos 'checking in' on the Prince that things start to change. Drautos now has sway over the Glaives and the Crownsguard, the gratitude of the King Himself, so long as Prince Noctis keeps his mouth shut about what happened while he was being "rescued" from General Glauca. Except Noctis talks back to the Captain now that it's just him, he doesn't have to worry about his siblings getting hurt, just himself really.

Gladio charges, because even if that's a little shit of a guy that's his Prince who's being slapped around. He doesn't have a hope in hell against someone like Titus Drautos, let alone General Glauca, being only eighteen and new to the whole 'shield' thing. Gets his shit wrecked, his eye nearly cut open, and his life held against Noctis to scare them both into keeping Drautos' secret.

Gladio, while he's being patched up on Ignis' bathtub, is adamant that they tell the king and the council, while Noctis pleads that they can't or Glauca will find a way to punish Luna and Ravus. Ignis informs him that it will be happening, because this is no longer just a threat to them but a threat to the whole kingdom.

We cut to the chocobros watching as Prince Ravus and Princess Lunafreya are welcomed into Insomnia, only to have their introductions interrupted by Noctis' excited shout of their names and practically warping over to them to hug them stupid. Drautos is imprisoned now, things are starting to look up for the first time for the Fleuret siblings in ... so, so long.

I think the primary fic would end there, but I'd probably want to have oneshots set after, about the adjusting period, and how things wrap up. Something something the abuse that the kids were subjected to gets to light and has the Empire's citizens up in arms over the treatment of the beloved Oracle, Lucis uses it as a way to force Niflheim into a peace treaty. Another oneshot from the pov of someone who only knows Ravus as a battlefield commander, seeing him turn all soft and doting on Luna and Noctis. Maybe dig into how Noctis and Luna traveled around under the guard of Glauca, how it's just as much threatening as it is teasing the Lucis spies who can't get close enough to set Noctis free...

I think about this au often, if you can't tell,

[Put "📓" or some other version of a book emoji into my inbox and I'll explain the plot of a fanfiction that I haven't written but daydream about.]
