A buncha doodles of Drew and the Ramirez n Brennan kids! But...! Theres something different about the story this time. 🤔 Big rambles under the cut!
This is actually from the Trans Drew AU, u know where everything's the same in the end except Drew's a trans man? Except, as a teen things do in fact go a bit different than our usual storyline.
For one, Drew ends up living with his best friend's family because his home wasn't comfy or safe anymore.. And two, Nate and Lucky actually got to meet and hang out and get crushes on each other as young teens too!
Drew and Libra meet as usual, through Toby from the band. And of course instant crush happens as usual... Libra's one of the first person his age he meets who didn't already know him from school, before he came out n started socially transitioning. It's all new to him and he's scared of how she'd react and he doesn't wanna loose her so he holds onto that secret very tightly around her. He's being soooo normallll guy mode..
We didn't really want Libra cheating on Drew this time around, that would be a disaster.. but they do still break up. But because of this the relationship lasts quite a bit longer and is a little smoother until the end, and Drew and the Ramirez kids get to spend more time with Libra thus having to spend time with her younger brother Lab and cousin Lucky as well! Nate's realllly excited to get a new friend his age and sure, Lucky's still a little standoffish punkass, but he likes Nate, too..
That's Nate Lucky and Lab up at the top, annoying Drew with their sleepover party shenanigans. He's out in the living room with them since theres a No Boys Allowed sleeping in Libra's room with her rule, siiiighs.
It's complicated, but Drew & Libra break up around the same time Nate & Lucky have to stop spending time together. (and not only because the couple was a convenient way for the boys to hang out..) Which is unfortunately, right when they're trying to figure out their own feelings for each other. Sooo. It's a bit of an understatement to say the Ramirez house is an absolute wreck with all these big teen grieving relationship moments at the same time. At least Mark and Lauren seem to be hanging in there. :)
(And this is not even mentioning how the Brennan household is holding up...)

[Summary of the prologue of "Guigemar", lay of Marie de France, mediaeval writer]
One day Guigemar, a young man incapable of loving, finds a doe and her fawn in the forest. The animal is completely white with stag’s antlers. The knight, not bothered by the fact that the creature is a mother, fires his bow and struck the animal in the forehead. The doe falls immediately, but the arrow ricochets and penetrates Guigemar's thigh. He falls down beside the suffering animal, who suddenly speaks and curses the man for inflicting fatal injuries on her: "May you never find a cure…until you are cured by a woman's love. You will suffer for her and she will suffer as much for you"
"Dad, why didn't you tell us that mom was mortal?"
"I'm sorry, my deer"

some tidbits about this AU
the AU is kind of split off into two time periods, exploring Drew's identity as a teen+how his life differs from the regular oc verse, and the second half, where we come back to him as an adult and reconnecting with people with newfound confidence in himself.
all this to say, alot of the exploration has to do with him and Libra's relationship. as mentioned in the first trans au post, we couldn't let Libra cheat on Drew in this one. while Libra doesn't know about Drew being trans until much later and her infidelity wouldn't have anything to do with him being "inferior" as a man or whatever, Drew would most definitely feel that way. and he goes through enough in this AU so that we didn't have the heart to do that. not to say that there isn't angst about his gender, just not in such a earth shattering way as being cheated on.
anyway they do last a bit longer together, allowing themselves to become very attached. Libra can tell that there's Something going on with Drew that he's not being forthcoming about, so she gets kind of annoying about that sometimes, perhaps projecting that he's not interested in her or something. Drew is like ughhh its not that Libra... and shes left just like okay??? what is it then??? ...luckily Drew doesn't feel compelled to out himself right away, he isn't ready and he certainly would not benefit from that information getting out when he's feeling aggravated. he has no idea how Libra would react and that's why he can't Ever tell her (at least for right now).
they care for each other alot and it makes it really hard when it seems like their relationship is so hot n cold, and they r dumb teens so they don't know how to talk it out jfddsj. eventually Libra presents him with an ultimatum like, if you need time to go figure yourself out and when ur ready to be real with me you can come back and we can be together. she thinks oh im so genius once im gone he'll come running back 😏 but that rly is too much pressure on Drew and he... doesn't take the bait. which frustrates Libra, why doesn't he wanna be with me?? fools, both of them!!! and it doesn't help that Libra moves out, leaves town, due to some family drama. and they just don't reach out, its too hard, too scary, especially on Drew's end there's too many unknowns to reach out. and that was it.....
...unless!! well spoilers they do reconnect years later, Drew's had much more time to build confidence, both in social and medical transitioning. so when they do get to talking he does feel safe to reveal that yeah the reason why he was so cagey n weird in high school is because of being trans and being scared to tell the one person who didn't know already, and be rejected in that way. and Libra, in the kindest way she can manage, grabs his shoulders and shakes him around like are you Serious is that all that was about i thought you hated me!!! i liked you, i wouldn't have cared!!! etc etc and yknow. hindsight is 20/20 and all that. it probably would have been fine but he couldn;t have known and thats valid hsajkh. even if a bit frustrating for all involved, at least he feels good about it now.
funnily enough it takes this AU to have Drew go to therapy earlier on in his life...? not to mention living in the Ramirez household and not being emotionally damaged on a daily basis like in his family home really provides him a more stable foundation. so he can finally have these conversations as an adult and smooth over some unfinished business left untended from his teen life, whew!! Good for him. :)

the designs or whatever from that au i was talkin abt,,
[ID: pixel drawings of Your Turn to Die characters post-game. The first is Keiji and Hayasaka. Keiji is wearing a button up and standing casually with his hands in his pockets. He has a scar on his neck and dark hair roots. The notes around him say; "highschool teacher (slash dad I guess)", and "tired". Hayasaka is next to him, dressed in a suit and also has a scar on his neck. The notes around him read; "Trapped in an office job hell", "Doll", and "tired".
The second image is of Shin and Gin. Shin is dressed similarly and has freckles and a neck scar. She looks uncomfortable. The notes around her read; "Cannot hold a job to save his life", "different jacket, different scarf", and an arrow points to his jacket pocket that says; "(Kanna's hair clip in here shhhh)". Gin is wearing a hoodie with a star on the chest, a skirt, a cat ear headband, and fingerless gloves. They also have a mask on their chin and a neck scar along with some scars on their lips. The notes around them say; "Wears both the boy & girl school uniform" and another arrow pointing to them that just has hearts. An arrow is pointing to them both that says; "Suffering".
The last is of Sara, she has shoulder length hair and is wearing a large jacket over a striped sweater. She has a neck scar and Joe's hair clip. The notes around her say; "She works with dogs (smile)", "Doesn't remember Joe + has memory issues (heart) (though they take care of Joe's old dog Dracula)", "She's so normal & coping so healthy", "Absolute fucking workaholic", and "Get's along with Shin (Eventually)". end ID]
