Legends: Darkstalker - Rewritten AU

The first thing I want to say here is that all feedback and criticism will be considered and taken. I don't want this to be bad, I don't want it to look like I'm trying to excuse the bad actions that Darkstalker takes or anything along those lines. What I wanted to do with this AU is see what would happen if some of the characters made different decisions, like looking at the alternate path of someone's future. This is something I've been working on for about two years in my spare time, and I've been trying to get the courage to post it publically and share it with others.

Now, for the AU outline itself! Some parts are unfinished (if you have any ideas, please share!) or simply not fleshed out as much as I'd like them to be. Since this is long, it's going to be put under the cut.

I don't really know how someone would go about listing a big AU such as this one, so I'm just going to copy the bullet points I have in my big google doc with all of the info. Sorry if the formatting is bad! I'll probably go back at some point and edit it if it's really bad.

BIGGEST PLOT CHANGES:

Darkstalker is not trapped under Agate Mountain.

This means that Peacemaker does not exist.

This also means that any events after Darkstalker reemerges from Agate Mountain did not happen.

Things such as:

Darkstalker doesn’t become king of the Nightwings.

Nobody else finds out that Turtle is animus.

Much more that I need to figure out later.

THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT DARKSTALKER DOESN’T DO BAD OR QUESTIONABLE THINGS.

In this AU, Darkstalker still has a greed and want for power.

There are multiple times where he tries to seize the throne, and argues with Queen Vigilance many times about becoming king.

He also encourages Clearsight to fight to become queen (which she refuses to do.)

Eventually, after some years and having to take care of dragonets, Darkstalker has a lesser greed for power. But sometimes... he gets this nagging in the back of his mind....

The Nightwing Exodus never happens.

This means that Glory never becomes the Nightwing Queen.

Animus magic is not taken away at all.

This is something mostly added out of spite, as I am very unhappy with Jerboa’s actions involving animus magic. (NOTE: I have not read The Dangerous Gift yet and do not know the full extent of it, only what the Wiki says.)

However, Seawings are still tentative with Animus magic, and have a distrust for it for a few hundred years.

This aspect goes along with canon, meaning that at some point animus magic becomes a treasured and praised thing again.

Darkstalker does not want to kill all Icewings

This is because at a young age Darkstalker did this enchantment. “Enchant the water Arctic is drinking to make him a better father.” (Funfact! This is what inspired me to do the AU, since one of my friends joked about Darkstalker doing the enchant and it spilared out of control.... I am hyperfixated on this book lol.)

This has a major effect on the plot later on, as Darkstalker doesn’t enchant Arctic to disembowel himself. As well as:

Darkstalker doesn’t do various enchantments to hurt Arctic.

Clearsight does not have a prophecy about Arctic.

Arctic doesn’t make Whiteout go with him to the Ice Kingdom.

Probably more!

When the Icewings take Foeslayer, Darkstalker is angry, but Arctic fights to protect her and help her escape, which makes Darkstalker have more respect for his father.

Icewings still have a dislike towards Nightwings because of Arctic and Foeslayer’s actions, though it settles down as years pass.

Beetlewings do not split off and become Hivewings and Silkwings.

Clearsight doesn’t see the future about the hurricane coming to Plantala, so she doesn’t come there.

The hurricane affects Plantala, causing a slight decrease in the population, but over the years it’s fixed.

The events of Arc 3 do not happen at all.

PLOT ADDITIONS

Darkstalker and Clearsight have dragonets, the six predicted dragonets Clearsight had seen in her foresight.

Eclipse, Firececlws, and Shadowhunter.

I’ve also given names to the three unnamed dragonets. Two of them are twins, [TBA] and [TBA]. The last one, the youngest, is named Fathomfixer, named after Fathom. (-I want to name one of the twins Peacemaker (it would be Foeslayer's idea) but I want the twins to have names that match each other...)

Fathom and Indigo have the dragonets they have in cannon.

Clearpool, Cowrie, and Ripple.

They also have an additional dragonet, Darkwater, the youngest.

Darkstalker, frustrated that they didn’t name one of their dragonets after him, enchants Indigo to have another dragonet.

Fathom suspects that Darkstalker was involved in Indigo having another dragonet, but cannot fully prove it.

Darkwater acts similarly to Peacemaker, as he has a liking towards strawberries and is very goofy. Unlike Peacemaker though, he is animus (Darkstalker made sure of it.)

Whiteout and Thoughtful have dragonets, twins. Their names are Glassspinner and Dreamweaver.

Fathom and Indigo decide to live in the Nightwing Kingdom since Fathom wouldn’t be able to be with Indigo in the Seawing Kingdom.

This has caused tensions to rise between the two tribes, Queen Pearl assuming that Darkstalker had used his animus powers to force Fathom to want to be away.

The truth is, Fathom decided on his own accord.

This is all I have so far!

Like I said before, any feedback will be taken, and I'd love to see what people think! If you have any name ideas for the twins, design ideas, a name for the au, etc, please share and tag me!!
