Older Naofumi AU
I like the idea of Older!Naofumi (think maybe mid-40s, and i wanna say he's got multiple tattoos and piercings, after getting his own life away from his parents) who's finally gotten his life stable, and then gets summoned, so now he's just done with everyone's shit.
This also means he has more life experience (+game and manga/anime/all-that-stuff knowledge.)
Naofumi, at the trial: "I'm abstinent, you dumb fucks! Have been for years, and I'm not gonna break it for a girl who looks half my age. I have standards."
He somehow ends up parenting the other Heroes as well, because they're all young and in an unfamiliar world, thinking they're immortal, two of them aren't even legal adults yet and Motoyasu acts like he never got attention as a child. They need parental guiding and support, and a reality check.
When the Queen comes back, Naofumi gives both her and her husband a lesson in parenting, despite the fact that he's only been doing it for a few months (technically most of his life because he basically raised his little brother as well), and they've got a whole teen with parental and self-issues and child who was forced to mature too quickly.
But let's be honest, he's already doing better than the two of them.
At some point, during cal Mira, Naofumi waltzes into the room where the other three are chatting, and proudly announces "I am proud to announce that I am no longer abstinent." for the sole reason of embarrassing them.
Motoyasu: Was it Therese?
Itsuki: Or was it L'Arc? We're having a bet and we wanna know.
Naofumi: Yes.
Ren: Fuck yeah. I win. >:)

Still working on those big kazurei illustrations, but due to some… stuff going on… It takes me to draw them a bit longer, sorry
Anyway, today I present to you my recent obsession - those four hero dorks. I don’t remember the plot much as I was reading the light novel for the last time in like 2017??? Still exited
So a huge brainrot has been festering in my head for the past week about some angsty au, because there’s not a lot of works around with them (at least that I’m aware of)… It got to a point that I’m now prepping to write my first ever fanfic with ✨da bois✨, yeah
Here are some snippets of what I’m currently thinking. You know, some basic queer/angst stuff (@_@)
Enjoy my struggles in filling out my sketchbook

Would anyone be interested in a rewriting of the Shield Hero where Naofumi is an immortal guy who has lived for millennia (think a mix of Zhongli and Alhaitham from Genshin)?
I've been entertaining the idea for quite a while in my head but I'd like to know the thoughts of others on the matter as well, which is why I'm sharing the idea.
I've been thinking that it would be really interesting to do a re-write/fix-up of the anime/manga/light novel where there's:
No underlining pedophilia because that's just disgusting and creepy
Naofumi acts a lot like a miserable mentor figure who just wishes for the sweet embrace of death
The other heroes actually develop and their beliefs and morals are challenged
MOTOYASU IS NOT A CREEPY GUY LUSTING OVER A MONSTER CHILD
Myne and The King face actual consequences for their actions appropriate for the setting and time period
It's more of a dark fantasy/ subversion of the isekai trope (how it was supposed to be from the start in my opinion)
Explores such things as growing too fast and becoming a child soldier, immortality and how it affects someone, keeping promises to the dead, accepting your death as well as obsessing over the idea of death and similar topics
If anyone has any questions/suggestions feel free to ask me!

From my countless jokes in the tags of my posts.
Naofumi and Motoyasu are actually divorced. They’re just pretending not to know each other. Ren is Naofumi’s actual son, his mother wasn’t in the picture. Motoyasu was his step dad.
The divorce happened over motoyasu cheating with multiple women and drinking heavily.
He sobers up after the divorce, but is murdered by one of the women he was having an affair with. Motoyasu views coming to this world as a second chance. He just wishes his bitter ex husband wasn’t here.
Naofumi is reading the records of the holy heroes to Ren, as reading to him eases his son’s anxiety. He’s understandably quite upset at being summoned, especially when his cheating ex husband is also here. But at least he’s able to keep looking after his son (Ren is only 13, three years younger than he is in canon)
The only one who is a stranger is Itsuki.
Ren sides with his dad immediately during the accusations, being very resentful of his stepfather after the divorce and seeing it as a way for motoyasu to get back at Naofumi for divorcing him (this is not actually the case, however Ren is young and angry so he’s inclined to think the worst of the man who cheated on his dad).
He straight up calls Naofumi dad and rushes back to him when Nao is brought before the king, they having been separated in order to keep up appearances for safety reasons.
They very quickly decide “yeah screw that noise” and Ren goes back to using the same last name as his dad (Amaki was his mother’s last name, which is why he uses it on the first night)
Kieka and Orkian are absolutely willing to accommodate the father and son wishing to remain together.
Everything is relatively the same, with the exception of the ex-husbands getting into extreme arguments much more frequently and Ren being super protective of his new baby sisters.
Itsuki is 100% under the impression that none of these weirdos, save the obvious father and son, know each other and is horribly confused.
It’s takes a really long time for him to realize what’s actually happening. Rip Itsuki’s sanity.
