Would love to hear more about Little Red AU or Vamp AU, if either of those is still un-asked

tbh, ive lost a lot of motivation for this AU after not one, but two fics being written based on Mess' art :') but, as @seiya-starsniper has encouraged me, unlike the fics out there currently, mine does not contain monster fucking (not sure how impactful this makes it lol but!) it also goes in a very different direction than what many people are expecting... its the only reason im still clinging to it. anyway, here's a small, very vague, and very unedited snippet of my Little Red AU:

There is a witch in the woods; the villagers know this and remain wary of her provocation. She is powerful but she is also a hermit– quiet and bloodless, when ignored. Many elders in the village have spun up stories, history between them and her. Though it seems all unfounded, Hob had never been anything but curious, growing up with these tales of offering sacrificial goats in place of the children they believed her to steal, before moving on to setting up traps on the edge of the woods where their small hamlet lay.

Hob had also heard stories, though not many, of how she’d been run out, that there may be more of her kind hiding in secret within the community. This too, Hob doesn’t allow to bother him. He is surrounded by superstition and pays no mind to any of it.

Which is all to say, he’s encountered the witch on several occasions. 

And whatever tales Hob had grown up hearing of her comes to a screeching halt the day he first met her.
