bluefrostyy replied to your post: “Btw the latest AU idea is "what if Stan was a...”
I need infoooo why is stan a horse? He and angie transform? Why
essentially, in this AU (which I am officially dubbing the Horse Boy Stan AU bc I find that funny), the McGuckets are sort of werehorses.
(that's what Stan dubs them, bc Stan asks them what they call themselves, and they just sort of shrug)
but instead of full moons, they transform the day before, day of, and day after equinoxes and solstices. they are forced into horse form dawn of the day before, and can return to human at dusk the day after. so for essentially three straight days, they're stuck in horse form. outside of this time, they are able to switch between horse and human form at will. once they get some practice with it, of course!
they are werehorses because, generations ago, when the McGuckets still lived in Ireland, a McGucket successfully rode a kelpie without being bucked off or drowned. this won the kelpie over, who married the McGucket and granted the McGucket bloodline a "gift": the ability to transform into horses. they're forced into horse form around equinoxes and solstices bc during those times, the barrier between the mortal realm and the fae realm is thin, and magic is stronger.
Stan can transform bc he rides a McGucket and doesn't get bucked off. during his homeless days, his car breaks down while he's being chased by the cops. he leaves the car and runs on foot, eventually coming across the McGucket horse ranch.
(the McGuckets have a horse ranch instead of a farm, bc, well, they have a connection with horses.)
at the ranch, he sees a horse just sort of chilling, not in a paddock, and watching him without any fear, just curiosity. I tend to headcanon that Stan is afraid of horses, but in this moment, he's more afraid of bullets than horses. so he climbs on the horse and manages to get it to take him to a nearby forest, where he waits out the cops. then he rides the horse back to his car. the horse, who was constantly trying to buck Stan off and even trying to bite him, to no avail, slams its hooves on the hood of the car and then kicks it for good measure before running away.
a few hours later, at dusk, Stan turns into a horse himself. because the horse wasn't a regular horse, it was Angie McGucket, who was just chilling in horse form as she is wont to do.
