#and the highschool Lorava au also kind of only exists in snippets

[eternitas]

Okay, because I'm such a slut for AUs, I am so curious - have you ever played out any AU ideas for either the Varia squad, Rena, or Lina?

Okay this is a wonderful ask that leads me right into something i wanted to post about anyway, so allow me

Long post so under read more

Highschool Au LorAva

I love "Nothing bad ever hapened" AUs And I usually don't min d Highschool AUs either because I don't have to think of adult troubles. So one that I something think of is an AU where Ava is the student council vice president and an absolute picture book honors student that suddenly has to deal with this new student that kicks him off the leaderboards in everything, while being a really difficult person. I love enemies to lovers and I love delinquent + honor student stories, so of course this is a given with these two. Two more ups: Nothing bad ever happened to the twins and Asuna is alive!

Squad 4 in Namimori aka Reborn! Now! AU

While this is also an AU featuring Rena, it's mostly about Squad 4 becoming recurring characters in Namimori. All of them take on covers: Ava as a girl in Tsunas class, Lorenzo as a highschool student, Ser as the Coach for the BAsketball club and Leo as a guard and school security. It's just fun to imagine Ava trying to come up with schemes to murder Yamamoto, Ryohei trying to get Leo to coach the Boxing club, Lorenzo having to deal with a really annoying rich girl that tries to court him and Ser has to deal with conflicting feelings regarding his cover story and a girl in the girls basketball club called "Asuna".

HayaRena Ai no Scenario (I didn't wanna draw something for this)

Inspired by this song I always wanted to write an AU for Hayato and Rena and -drumroll please- G and a woman he meets after Giotto flees italy. Side A is Hayato and Rena being friends and in love ever since they were little, but Hayato is nothing but a street child while Rena is a noble woman engaged to a horrible abusive man. Eventually Hayatp whisks her away. Side B is set after Giotto left italy and asked G to take care of what they build up. G returns to his hometown where he meets a married woman who is secretly being deceived and cheated on by a mafiosi. She has no idea of this. Not exactly happy that another family has set their camp in THEIR (G and Giottos) hometown he eventually frees her from a terrible fate that her "husband" had planned for her and basically "wins" back the town, starting to seriously court her and eventually starting a family together.

LorAva Mermaid AU

Since I had planned to do more for this in MerMAY I will keep it short. Ava is merfolk, a blue shark aligned predator who gets captured by accident by a fishing boat. A boat Lor is on. Seeing as the creature was only an accident he releases Ava again albeit not unharmed. Still Ava somehow understands that Lore saved him and becomes interested, following the boat more often, everytime he gets captured, he gets released by Lor. OIne day though Lor is not on the boat and Ava gets caught again and sold to the nearby circus where he is set up for show. Due Lorenzo trying to save and release him back into the ocean.

Asuna lives AU

Not much to say here. I did trace this official art though because I thought it would be cute! Asuna survives the shot. Ser never becomes a mafiosi, Leo neither. Ser goes on to go pro as a basketball player, Leo becomes a mute soccer player and everything is fine with nothing bad ever happening. This really is just "Ser and Asuna can be together".

Lin AU

The only K Project entry featuring a genderbend version of Lina that became full yandere for Eric. Eric has to tread very carefully. Lin is still his family and dear to him and made sure that Eric would survive anything Hikawa throws at him. He loves Lin, but he also knows how fragile Lins mental state is and how ready for violence he is when it comes to Eric.
