New Caleb au coming to my mind. Sorry I haven't been posting my own stuff recently. I've just struggled with motivation and all.
Spoilers for The Owl House if you haven't watched season 1 and 2.
Basically, a Peter Pan Caleb au, where Caleb became Peter Pan.
The classic story of Peter pan comes later, as Caleb never grows up anyway.
When Caleb decides to stay in the isles with Evelyn, the Isles inhabitants don't really respond to him very positively. They demand some sort of justice for his past witch hunting. Maybe he was really into it and bad before changing when meeting Evelyn. Maybe he wasn't. Whatever happened back then, however he felt, witches want to have him punished for it. So, they have a trial. In this trial, Caleb is decided to be guilty of some bad crimes. Caleb takes this all without fuss. He feels himself that he deserves it. What's the punishment?
Caleb gets sent to this God. A collector or something similar perhaps. Maybe the guardian from amphibia? The idea of the punishment is that they bring him to this God who will determine the proper course of action. They expect that action to be a punishment and way of redemption. The god looks into all of his past actions like that demon that flicks through books fast.
That God is like, yeah, he was pretty bad once. But, now he isn't. In fact, he was robbed of a childhood and everything. You know what people? I'm making him a LITERAL GOD.
People are shocked. But, this God is trusted by most if not all. Caleb isn't sure how to react.
The God makes him young, and gives him his Peter pan outfit, or something similar, cause he could make it later. The God announces that he is to be called Peter from now on to signify his change for the better in the isles.
Pan comes later, when he starts using a pan flute.
Evelyn and Caleb in this au never really had a romantic relationship anyway. With Calebs powers and training to use them hes not around her much either so their friendship fades. He feels more free and acts like a child. He thinks like a child.
Tinkerbell he meets later. If his flight comes from tinkerbell, as I'm still learning about Peter pan, it would turn out it didn't originally actually. The God gave it to him. Also, any other powers came from becoming a god. Like I think he might be able to mind read in the play.
His backstory he gives in the Peter pan stories isn't actually true. They are false memories built by his real memories mixing together and being modified. Part of his godness causes this memory changing, so that he never remembers more time than maybe about 4 times his physical age. Which is about 11. Anything else is just undesipherable flickers he misinterprets. (Just enough to remember Wendy.)
Neverland is a specific realm that is connected to Caleb's powers and follows his wants, for the most part. Straight on to the 2nd star to the right is really where an invisible tear in the realms is. He wants adventure? It creates captain hook and the pirates to fight. He wants a cool outdoor place? That's why it's an island. He hears of stories about fairies that arent like the isles fairies? Now they are real. The lost boys he actually found the same way he says he did though. That's why it's said Neverland comes to life when he returns.
Originally Caleb didn't have Peter pans flaws, however he had others. He shifted over time in personality due to the memory loss, like generations of a group of people and their culture.
His shadow moving on its own is one of his powers, designed to give him the ability to send it away as a scout. However, due to his now childish nature and time, his relationship with his shadow isn't good in the Peter pan story. It originally was good.
Similar to his entry into Wendy's house, when looking for his shadow, Caleb sneaks into Philips cave. (He had no clue philip found out about his relationship with Evelyn and followed. He just discovered he was there.) Philip and his reunion is odd. Maybe it's similar to the memory paintings, but it's not quite. He flys around a lot. He's also not sure how to handle the situation, especially since he lost maturity from the spell so that he would represent childhood.
Caleb's Peter pan in this isn't secretly crazy or evil. The story plot is like a mix between the play, musical, other play adaptations, and the movies. (The early versions of the story are bad in certain ways. The isles were quite good, and that hasnt left him, so the classics plot has none of that.)
The reason Peter pan has elf/witch ears is because his ears slowly changed to reflect his magical nature.
He's friends with the collector. The Collector just happens to be a child god however, whereas he's the god of childhood, so the collector will outgrow him eventually. He finds the collector and frees him by stealing Philips notes. He's friends with that stonesleeper actually, but he forgot about it when it fell asleep for 50 or so years somewhere on neverland, and in the most recent happenings, has yet to wake up. The Collector goes off somewhere in space to do what he wants. (Caleb kept him from destroying or hurting the isles.) Philip never becomes Belos.
It's mentioned in some sources that Peter pan has nightmares from his suppressed memories. That's true for Caleb Peter. He has nightmares about losing Evelyn, others, losing Philip, Philip, and his Gravesfield trauma.
Philips attempts to kill witches and that whole situation is a whole other can of worms that I will unpack later.
He looks like Disney Peter but with Caleb's face and hair, and owl house artstyle. He has disney Peter's ears.
He meets Luz and takes her to neverland. No crush is involved to be clear. Luz just wanted to get put of camp. Hunter does exist, but he's Luz's brother and looks different because he's related to her. He doesn't come to Neverland. He has no idea where Luz went.
The clawthorns like Eda and Lilith exist but they just look different as Evelyn had a different husband.
Neverland is the demon realm inspired. Caleb also still remembers the demon realm and uses the portal door, which he created, to go there often. He introduces Luz to the demon realm where due to his carelessness Luz gets lost and meets King and Eda. Somehow they still become family. Caleb joins in that family but insists on never growing up.
Caleb can't remember that kings a titan so they have no idea.
The owl deity theory could have the owl deity be that God that made him a god.
Caleb is immortal. He will not die.
Any ideas to add to this au? Also,

i literally do not remember if i've already sent an ask but if i haven't i would love to hear about the critrole werewolf AU pretty please! and if i have. then i would like to hear about it again anyway 👐
Check my list of current wips here and send me a title and I’ll post a bit or share some details about it.
The CritRole Werewolf au is a mighty nein werewolf au. I set it in a vaguely modern world, but... in the 90s/early 00's. I wanted it to have some Buffy/Blair Witch/Lost Boys vibes. Like, grotesque and terrifying but with moments of absurd humor and a really bitchin' soundtrack. The Brjeau's are, loosely, the main characters.
Beau and Fjord were the intro duo. They're amateaur ghost hunters touring the country's most haunted locations. They're using Beau's absent fathers' credit card to fund them sleeping in Fjord's work van and get them access to dope shit like handheld video cameras and microphones that Beau uses to prove the supernatural is real. (Fjord films/runs tech. He a) doesn't believe in the supernatural and b) is terrified of it).
They pair up with Caleb- a mysterious dude in a long duster coat with a weird accent who may or may not be a monster hunter, and Veth- who's definitely just some normal housewife who just so happens to hate werewolves and definitely isn't one. They join the team after a scary event where Fjord is lost for a few days in some weird haunted place/sacred temple to some old forgotten wolf god. Caleb and Veth want to make sure Fjord isn't cursed, Beau is thrilled to be proven right that the supernatural exists, and Fjord thinks this is all ridiculous. So what that he's been having some weird dreams? That doesn't mean anything.
(You can see where this is going).
To keep things reigned in, I tried to limit all the supernatural entities to just werewolves (save for Fjord's eventual eldritch horror wolf thing he has going on).
Yasha, Caduceus, Fjord, Veth and Jester are all werewolves. Some of them were born werewolves, some of them were turned. Some were turned willingly, some not(t). Caleb and Beau remain Team Human (though Scourgers are now werewolf hunters, and through grueling training are a weird almost "half" werewolf, so they can't be turned).

I was wondering if you have any plans for the rest of the hexsquad in your kidnapped caleb au? because I was thinking that with camila sending luz to that "become normal" camp, the camp could have totally been one of philip's to lure/get new members to join the cult. idk where vee would fit in but that could be where some of the squad (luz mainly lol) meets hunter?
OK SO I answered the ask about where vee fits into the AU, but I DO enjoy this idea that the hexsquad all find themselves at the Become Normal camp for one reason or another. (probably various mishaps that are references to their canon powers/lives)
I ALSO like the idea that Vee meets Luz and the others at said camp, because cult members either run the entire thing or at least volunteer there as a ways of recruiting Weird Kids by befriending them. So like maybe Vee is a camp counselor or assistant or something!

Sunday Snippet
New AU idea for Caleb and Kaidan attacked me this week and wouldn't ease up until I had about 15 pages of notes and 1k words to start the thing. Here's a snippet...
~~~
Sighing, Kaidan stared out across the yard. Tadhg was trying to teach his sister how to get more distance with her kick. “We found each other,” he replied quietly. “They were in some trouble, and I helped them out of it. They, in turn, did the same for me.” An oversimplification, but it got the point across.
“And you decided to stick together and become a family?”
“Something like that.” Turning, Kaidan tipped his bottle slightly in Anderson’s direction. “All right, your turn. Tell me about the house.”
Anderson wandered over to take a seat and Kaidan followed him. “Just remember, no refunds. Not at this late date.”
“No refunds?” Kaidan frowned over at the man. He had all the respect in the world for him – a crafty bastard on the battlefield, a tactical genius even. “Please don’t tell me it was the sight of a murder.”
Though the older man laughed, the amusement didn’t reach his eyes. “Not exactly. Let me put it this way. The couple who lived there – Ned Byrne and his wife Nan – weren’t exactly young. Nan passed away from illness a number of years ago. Ned was inconsolable for a while, but he also ran the pub, so he lost himself there, tending to the needs of the townfolk. Not a superstitious man by any means, but if you haven’t figured it out yet, there are certain things the Irish just do not mess with.”
Kaidan had spent a fair amount of time around the locals since coming to this country nearly two years before and he’d been the recipient of all sorts of tales of varying levels of believability. “Go on.”
Resting his arms on his legs, Anderson hunched forward and let the bottle dangle from his fingers. “Legend around here has it that many, many years ago, the Aos Sí lost a series of battles to the Milesians. Because the Aos Sí walk both the mortal world and the otherworld, they were able to trick the victors into allowing them to maintain their ráth, or fairy mounds or forts, scattered across the country, thereby keeping their homes...”
