#alternate universes

[wjbs-bonkle-au]

AUs in most fandoms: "What if everyone swapped?" "What if everyone's morality was switched?" "What if these superpowered protagonists were normal people working in a coffee shop?" AUs in the Bionicle fandom: "What if the main species swapped with the surprisingly in-depth evil crocodile people?" "What if various characters re-enacted the plots of superhero movie trailers?" "What if the superpowered protagonists of, like, two thirds of the story were teachers in a vaguely-Canadian school and still had their superpowers?"

Alternate universes where something big changes everything don’t interest me. Mundane alternate universes where one well-known song doesn’t exist are the shit. Imagine being the only one that knows Kiss From A Rose (1994) exists in some capacity. Fucked up

Our next THEME WEEKEND assignment is:

ALTERNATE UNIVERSES

Recommend fics that are alternate universes for our theme weekend! These are general AUs (we have a few weekends with more specific alternate universes) so recommend your fave takes on the characters in new universes!

When you submit your fic recommendations, make you sure you add a note saying the theme in some way! You can explain how the alternative meeting theme fits or that it's just a part of the theme weekend (in case it's not a tag on the fic itself).

Recs over the weekend will only be for this theme! Any that are not used will be recommended as per usual after this weekend.

--

Know a fic that deserves extra love? Submit through our asks or the submission box! Suggest challenges, nominate an author for the writer's spotlight, and vote on our next theme here.

How does magic work anyways?

For the Thrashwizard Molorov PSA it said that he can make something "conform to Rhythmorzaxian realspace" and that boosts his power. So is it realm/universe linked?

Also, is realm hopping easy? I want to see my alternate universe selves and have a grand old time.

From, New to this here extranormal thing

(p.s. Jenny: I agree)

This is a big question, and thus I turn to our biggest brain: Ambrose Delgado, our local wizard and smartest man on the planet. He'll take it from here.

Ah, hello! This just does speech to text? Good! Good! I'm Ambrose, and Norm said you guys had some really interesting ontological-thaumaturgical questions, and boy I am just itching to draw out my current ontological model in a format that's not some stuffy paper! Hah!

Pardon my bad drawing and my just awful handwriting, but this is what I'm currently working with. A lot of this is simplified for the, uh, purposes here, translating it to the layman - that's you - and a lot of this is....currently completely hypothetical or the ultimate extrapolation from thaumo-mathmetical models. There's some realm designations I knew off the top of my head, there's a few more we know of, of course. And....some I can't label, just due to their classification.

Imagine the universe as a series of bubbles - that's "us" in the, uh, middle here. And by "us" I mean the entirety of realspace, our galaxy and indeed universe. Though, once you get out to the edges of the universe, realspace starts to get...slippery, ontologically speaking. At least, according to our models, there's some very interesting work being done in France right now regarding how much the edges bleed--

Sorry, yes, the model. Right. So, you have the bubble that is "us" and our realspace, and then the skin of the bubble, a dimensional barrier. That's currently a very hard thing to pierce. It can fail, randomly, and objects or people drift, but that's, you know, incredibly rare. It's hard to punch through and even harder to do so safely. Currently, we can't....consistently do it. At least, not in a way that satisfies modern thaumaturgical standards. A lot of the older wizards insist they used to be able to pop over to Albion Dieselsands or Old Charlie for the weekend, but frankly I don't believe them.

Just going through my labels here - so you have the dimensional barrier, then what's outside it. I know Norm's talked about it, but the colloquial idea of an "alternate universe" is not really something that exists. Many-Worlds is mostly incorrect. Mostly because choices do have the potential to create another "bubble" in our local multiversal map, it's just....very rare. Not every choice or turning point has that potential, and of the ones that do, an exponentially small number seems to actually result in a split, though he's mentioned "quantum potentiality", a concept that I think really hasn't been studied enough. I actually think that--

The model. So, the result is that "alternate universes" are mostly extremely divergent from ours, like our friend Thrashwizard's native Rhythmorzax. The terms "alternate universe" and "realm" are interchangeable. The "similarity gap" label refers to the concept that almost all realms are wildly different than ours, due to the nature of how splits work. We aren't....totally sure how it works, of course - are we the "prime"? Are we a "split"? The model is onto-centric, we aren't actually in the "center." A simplification to help readability. The ultimate answer to your "other you" question is it's extremely, incredibly unlikely that an entity meant to be an "other you" even exists, even if you were to find a realm where they could and breach the barrier.

The other labels. The "noo-drift cloud" refers to the concept that, well, concepts drift to other realms, or are shared - the dimensional barrier is somewhat noospherically permeable. That's why ideas like "metal music" are found on even the otherwise wildly divergent Rhythmorzax. A more accurate diagram would look like a Venn diagram, with noospheric circles overlapping.

You can see the more alien-less alien "meter" here - it's generally true that the more wildly divergent realms are more alien to us, in a familiarity sense. Heck, 99-Puppet doesn't even have humans or even human-adjacents on it.

This is where your question about magic comes in. See, most realms have a system of magic unique to that realm. When you're trained in one magic system, it's...it's like a language. Language has a huge effect on how your brain works, and so does a system of magic. Going to another realm is like being forced to learn a new dialect or even a new language. It's possible, sure, and might be easier for you because you know magic in the first place, but it can be quite a challenge. Again, our friend the Thrashwizard is already practiced in local thaumaturgical space, and his ability to "ontologically terraform" space temporarily is quite dangerous, as yes, that does put him on more familiar ground, magically-speaking.

Describing how magic works is...tricky if you're not already trained, and witches will have a different answer from wizards, who will have a different answer than warlocks, etc, etc. The way my brain conceptualizes it is...accessing an unimaginably large computer and requesting changes to the world - if you know the language the computer speaks and have the mental energy to send the request, it'll prioritize it to....immediately, really.

The last labels, on the right there - you can see the typical influence range of draconic or angelic/demonic entities. They have a much easier time traveling than we do, of course, though angels and demons seem to have settled on this one for reasons that are currently unclear. Dragons come and go, as they are....wont to do.

Oh, and you can see the....big bubble. It's current prevailing theory that the larger multiverse just....repeats, fractally. There's an unknown number of big bubbles out there, all of them unfathomably alien. IF any of you remember our communications with T!ss, they came from a bubble one or two removed from ours. Further out than that, it's....currently hypothetical. Outsiders, actually, are currently thought to exist in the space between bubbles, but I try not to dwell on what that means.

Hopefully that answered some of your questions!

I have been forgetting to post this, but here it is! Finally....

An updated Kane Candy reference!

So for those of you that have not been following me long, Kane Candy belongs to my Fix-ItFelixJrAU!. In this reality, Princess Vanellope never became the glitch, and KC instead took that title. However, his glitch is more destructive than our original glitch. He also does not want to race, due to personal reasons.

Some changes that were made in this updated reference includes:

Change in candy cane patterns on his coat,

Narrowed down the color palette a bit for appeal,

His shoes were simplified from being lace-up tap dance shoes to being slip ons,

The leaf on his hat, which was originally spearmint, is now just peppermint,

Instead of being a lollipop, I turned his banjolele into a peppermint, to better fit his theme.

Here is a very old digital drawing for reference for comparison,

As well as the original sketched reference sheet.

So, how do y'all like the updated appearance? Tell me what you think!

[azfellandco]

I’m thinking about reverse AUs and how I’ve seen them done really successfully as tragedies, to the point where for me personally the thesis of the reverse AU as a fandom-specific trope is that Aziraphale as an angel and Crowley as a demon is fundamental not only to their relationship but also to what the world around them looks like and their success in saving it. In a way it’s grappling with the same problem angel!Crowley in s2 presents, Aziraphale’s assumption that Crowley restored to angel status is desirable if it’s even possible.

please can i get copiiia or your lucifer devil terzo with edging & bondage & a ruined orgasm if you want to be awful to the cardinal 🥺💦 👅

A Little Mercy

Ohohoo nonny you opened a can of worms with this one! I'm not sure if this counts as a ruined, but I did my best. I also tried my hand at regular, very normal human Terzo today. I hope you like it <3

Content: 1.4k words, Terzo x Copia, NSFW, MDNI, SMUT, sexual content, soft dom terzo, body worship, light-bondage, blow-jobs, teasing, blindfolds, edging, no beta we die like nihil!

“You’re so quiet, amore,” Terzo purrs from behind him, hot breath ghosting across the shell of Copia’s left ear.

Copia blinks rapidly, his eyes refocusing on Papa’s beautiful bed that’s had the pillows fluffed and the restraints lashed around the baroque headboard. When he’s back in the present, shrugging his shoulders into Terzo’s waiting hands so that the heaviest layer of his cassock can slip free, it's a little difficult not to feel self-aware. 

Terzo steps into view, mid-process of folding the cassock neatly as he walks towards the foot of the bed. Copia watches the way he moves, bare hands, coat-less and oh-so-beautiful that at times he can't believe his luck. Terzo sets the cassock on the plush ottoman at the end of his bed. He then turns to approach Copia again, a tender hand rising to cup his face. Copia melts into the palm against his cheek with a sigh and a flutter of his lashes. 

“I can see that you’re overthinking,” Terzo strokes a thumb over his sideburns, mismatched eyes searching his face. “We don’t have to if you are having second thoughts, sì? And I remind you again, that you can stop this at any time.”

“Sì, I know. Please,” Copia tips his head into Terzo’s hold, feeling him and breathing him in. “I want this.”

“As long as you are sure?”

“Sì. Ti prego.”

Copia watches the corner of Terzo’s mouth twitch up as those wonderfully bare fingers slowly descend, following the curve of his jaw and down his neck to the collar of his undershirt. Copia leans in for another lush kiss that he can't help but moan softly into, a hand seeking the front of Terzo’s own partially unbuttoned vestment. His pulse hammers in his throat and he bites down a whine when Terzo pulls back, his paint a touch more smeared and the centre of his mouth a bare, blushing pink. His hand curves around the back of Copia’s neck, thumb swiping over his pulse point.

“Let me take care of you, Copia, sì? Let me make you feel good.”

When Copia nods, the smile on Terzo's face spreads in a slow, alluring display that ends with sharp teeth. He leans in again, pressing a reassuring kiss between his brows. 

—

“Look at you trying so hard to keep yourself composed,” Terzo says from where he’s propped up between Copia’s thighs, watching him tremble. It's all Terzo—all tease and a wicked tongue.

Copia swallows the thick lump in his throat, the purple blindfold that Terzo had tied around his eyes some time ago now having slipped down to reveal his normal brown eye. His arms are pulling in his restraints and his entire body feels strung tight from his head to his toes. They both watch the way his cock jumps against his belly, ruddy and flushed and aching to be touched. 

“Ti prego, Papa. Ti pre—”

Copia chokes and arches when Terzo takes him in a loose wet fist, nearly sobbing when he doesn’t move his hand. A little bead of precum wells at the tip, dripping down the swollen head. 

”My dear, sweet Cardinal,” Terzo hums, his other hand petting over the muscle of Copia’s hairy thigh, staring openly at his flushed face and the trail of reddened bites all the way down his chest and stomach. “You look so lovely. You will let me know when you are close again, sì?”

Copia turns his face, trying to get his breathing under control. His chest is rising and falling with deep breaths and his blood is singing throughout his body. He doesn’t know how much more of this he can take of this sweet torture. The answer sounds something like ‘as much as Terzo will give him’. The sheets are sticking to his skin, he’s burning hot with the unrelenting desire to roll his hips that’s building in his groin. When Terzo finally does start to pulse his hand in a little tight circle from the base of his cock all the way to the head, Copia goes slack. His head thumps against the headboard on a whimper. 

“P-Papa…” it’s barely above a whisper. He lets out a throaty, anguished sound when Terzo stops and removes his hand altogether. 

“What was that? I didn’t hear an answer, Cardinal?”

Copia’s head lulls back in the direction of Terzo, a bead of sweat running down his nose. 

“Please. I will. I will. I promise. Ti prego…”

Briefly Terzo sits up in a kneel and reaches forwards to tug the purple silk from his head, stroking his fingers across his sweaty forehead and cheek. He pushes some of Copia’s hair back and Copia chases the touch, completely at his mercy. If Terzo decides to leave him right now he would be satisfied, yet the sweet smile on Papa’s face says otherwise. 

“Remember, Cardinal,” Terzo warns, his face and voice revealing nothing more about his composure, unlike the obvious dark flush that spreads all the way down his neck and chest. Copia can see the obvious bulge in his trousers, and he dimly wonders if Terzo was serious about tonight just being about him. 

Any coherent thought leaves his head when Terzo situates himself between his thighs and takes him in hand again. He moans, surprising himself at the intensity of the reaction. But he’s so sensitive, so strung tight that any sort of touch makes him burn and feel like he’s falling apart. He stares openly at Terzo’s face, bleary eyes drinking in the sight of his Papa—his paint smeared and all the skin starting to show beneath, pink lips glistening with spit and slick and Copia thinks he might actually die.

His thighs go tight when Terzo presses a hand to the soft pudge of his belly, pets tenderly, and then takes him into his hot, wet mouth. He presses all the way down, nose flush with Copia’s belly before he pulls off. He does it again, lathering him, eyes holding Copia’s as he does so. 

The noise Copia releases is almost animal, nails biting into his palm and arm pulling hard at the restraints around his wrists. He doesn’t know how long they’ve been at this game or how long his aching arms have been tied up now, but what he does know is he’s going to cum. The need rolls through him, starting deep near his spine and he can’t do anything more than watch his cock disappear into Terzo’s mouth. 

“Terzo,” He manages to gasp all high and breathy, writhing as release begins to pulsate through him. Tears blur his eyes and he sobs. “T-Terzo. I… Cumming. I-I’m cumming—”

Just as the heat of orgasm washes through him and his cock kicks, at the very last calculated second Terzo pulls away completely. 

He’s sure Terzo’s speaking to him, but Copia hears nothing over his own cry out as he paints his chest and soft belly, frustration and discomfort arcing through him in tandem with the bliss of release. He shakes with the force of it, his eyes that had squeezed shut eventually tearing open back. He watches his cock twitch and jump, milky white dribbling onto his skin with a few, weak pulses over his navel. He moans with it, whimpering and whining. 

The emotional release soon follows quickly on its heels, biting at him and stinging in a way he’s not fully prepared for. His breathing hitches and his eyes start to spill hot down his cheeks. 

When he’s released, his arms flopping against the bed and he’s pulled into an embrace by Terzo, Copia lets go and cries.

“Shh, shh,” Papa whispers, petting his sweaty ashen hair back from his forehead. “That’s it, I have you amore. I have you. Just let it out.”

His arms are deadweight and tingly, but eventually, he returns the embrace, half-curled into Terzo’s chest. Terzo doesn’t let go of him—he’s all hushed words and careful touches once he’s stopped shaking for the most part. Copia quivers at the sensation of Papa’s fingers running lightly up and down his arms in a slow rhythm; a pass down his arm, circling back around up over his freckled shoulders, all while the other keeps petting through his hair. He focuses on it, listening to Terzo’s careful instructions on slowing his breathing.

“How do you feel?” Terzo finally asks once his sobs have dampened to quiet sniffles. His breath is cool against Copia’s burning skin.

“Good,” Copia sniffles softly, voice hoarse. “That felt… amazing. Grazie, amore mio.”

“I’m glad. I’m so glad.” Terzo kisses his forehead, between his brows, cradling him close. “When you feel ready and if you can move, will you let me help you shower?”

Copia presses closer and nuzzles beneath Terzo’s chin with a heavy, gratified sigh. He winces at the sensation of release cooling on his skin, cringing when his senses start to return to something normal. He nods, humming. 

“Sì, I would like that.”
