ADSOM AU Asks are open!

Since I’m still working on some ADSOM art (I’m like 75% done with several things), I thought I’d list out all my ADSOM AUs (including the new ones) and see if anyone has any questions about them, their plots, or even any questions for the characters. Maybe I’ll even do a few drawn responses. So ask away people! I’m in the mood to answer. AUs below the cut, and each has their own tag.

Precious To Me: During AGOS, Kell pushes Maxim too far in the cells (and vise versa), and Maxim tries to have Kell executed by sending him to White London. Lucky for him, Osaron is a nice oshoc who is delighted to have another Antari around, and despite Holland’s protests Osaron insists Kell stick around as another prince. Hijinks ensue as Osaron tries to bribe the pair to get along with magic lessons, Rhy tries to figure out where his brother went, and the Essen Tasch Masquerade Ball approaches, during which everyone will have to make a decision that will change their lives forever. There’s shapeshifting, magic training, mystery-solving, and a whole host of other things; it’s a lot of fun.

Ferase Stras Kell: Maris never gave Kell to Maxim, instead telling him she never received an Antari. Lila and Rhy end up acting as the focal pair of the series with Alucard joining in along the way, but when Osaron is closing in and all seems lost, Maxim reveals his deal with Maris and his suspicions that she was never entirely honest with him. The group along with Holland heads out to sea to find this mythical Antari, but the man they find may not be entirely willing to help them.

Smuggler: Kell’s family never gave him up (they decided on the boat), so rather than growing up royal, he grows up as the heir to a massive crime family, which he contributes to by using his natural Antari gifts to help him smuggle. Rhy eventually gets sent by Maxim to go break up the smuggling ring as a chance for him to prove himself; he and Kell become rivals in a cat-and-mouse game, as neither really wants to fight the other like their families want.

Black Magic Buddies: A weakened Osaron wakes up post-ACOL and ends up stuck with Ned, who can’t decide if he’s terrified, in awe, or amused by his new roommate. I’m trying to do a comic with this one and several installments are already out! Go check it out if you want; the tag’s below.

Studs and Spikes: A modern AU where almost every character is a celebrity of some sort; Kell and Rhy are pop stars, but Kell hates it. Maxim and Emira aren’t just his adoptive parents- they’re his managers, and Kell can’t stand the pastel pop aesthetic the pair force on him, but he has no idea what to do. Now that his old buddy Lila has left to pursue her own career, Kell’s left fuming with no way out. One night at a bar, Kell ends up meeting the Dane Twins and their drummer Holland, a punk-rock band that Kell wants nothing more than to be a part of. Astrid extends the invitation, recognizing him from his albums; he gets along nicely with Athos and Holland after all. What follows next is a roller coaster roadtrip as Kell tries out the rockstar lifestyle and the group tries to avoid Maxim, who first starts a manhunt to find his “son” and then considers other, more dangerous methods of making sure Kell gets back to making music the way he wants him to...

Aesthetic: Basically just an excuse for me to draw ridiculous versions of the cast. Every London has a look and aesthetic, all evolved from the original color of pure magic; rainbow glitter. Grey London is steampunk, Red London is hyper-trendy fashion where the royals dress like various pop stars, White London ranges from punk to goth to emo, and Black London is based on the 90s. I’ve drawn for this AU before.

Tangled: Pretty self-explanatory if you’ve watched the Disney movie. Kell is a magical dude imprisoned in a tower with only the occasional visit from Holland or his companion gecko Hastra for company (also the White Twins, but Kell doesn’t see them much and definitely doesn’t find them to be good company). He bumps into the traveling thief Lila Bard and demands she take him to see the beautiful red city he can sometimes see at sunset. She agrees with some conditions, they go and cross paths with the royal prince Rhy and his trusty dragon Alucard. Both groups agree to work together if Lila will show Rhy where the Shadow Thief (AKA her, but he doesn’t have to know that) went. But something strange is going on; Rhy can’t figure out why seeing Kell triggers strange visions for him, and Lila swears that she keeps seeing a shadow following them, occasionally joined by two others that give her a bad, bad feeling.

Aftermath: Holland survives because I say so, and he, Rhy, and Alucard try to navigate kinghood together- up until Rhy decides to up and go leave to find his brother.

Reverse: The seal between the Londons decayed long ago, leaving four separate kingdoms split by two massive rivers. The bloodthirsty Red London is eager to conquer its peaceful and prosperous White London neighbor, who has built its own resistance movement in an effort to beat back the threat. Prince Rhy is trying to resist in his own way, as he hates the actions of his wicked parents and the ruin they’ve brought to the kingdom. Rhy is worried too for the court Antari, Kell, a man who made a decision in secret, one that saved the prince’s life but left them both tied together, and if Maxim and Emira find out Kell is doomed to a fate worse than death. But death itself seems around every corner, and its Rhy’s turn to save Kell and himself, if he can only figure out how. He finds the locket of his past lover; Rhy’s parents said he died at sea, but the locket proves otherwise, and Rhy has a good idea where he went. He and Kell flee for White London, but the resistance will not be happy to see them- Rhy can only hope that he can find Alucard before the resistance and its leader find them.

Western: Arnes is a small desert oasis that hosts one of the most successful business families around, the Maresh family. Their railroad wealth flows out to the rest of the town, but such prosperity attracts dangerous outlaws and gangs looking to make off of other’s good fortune. It’s up to Sheriff Kell to keep things civil, but he ends up off the beaten path and must work to recover a special stone artifact worth millions of dollars that Maxim Maresh needs; Kell also may or may not have had a hand in its disappearance and he needs to clear his name. Teaming up with the known thief Delilah Bard ends up being his only option, and the two work to reclaim the stone while also avoiding natural dangers and the deadly White Vipers gang.

Swapped: Several characters get their arcs swapped around; Athos becomes Red London’s Antari after mysteriously appearing in Arnes, Astrid meets Lila Bard and the two become tyrant queens, Kell is their very angry thrall, Holland is a magical thief trying to avoid detection in Grey London, and many others. Not the same thing as Reverse AU.

Pokemon: Also fairly self explanatory. Everyone has their own pokemon teams and it affects the plot a bit. Osaron’s part-pokemon, part-Ultra Beast, and the Inheritor is a master ball. You can imagine how things go down.

Pets: Everyone gets cute pets because I say so, regardless of whether each pet species actually exists in England or whether the character died in canon. They all deserve a cute animal companion.

Congrats if you read this far down! This turned out a bit longer than expected, but I hope you enjoyed! Ask away!

ADSOM Pokemon AU!:

- The plot’s largely the same, but everyone has Pokemon! Magicians can join in Pokemon battles and aid their Pokemon and vice versa, but a magician attacking a Pokemon for no reason is absolutely off limits; people battle for the same reasons they do in the games, money, prestige, or practice. Pokemon also serve as companions and defenders of their respective trainers.

- Grey London is the only place that has Pokeballs. In the other Londons you just carry your Pokemon around.

The Teams:

Kell- At the beginning of ADSOM, Kell has a Klefki (his first Pokemon), an Oricorio, a blue Flabebe (Which evolves Post-ADSOM) and an Eevee (It evolves into Vaporeon in his final fight with Holland). After ADSOM he gets a Furfrou and a Mimikyu. Most of Kell’s Pokemon are small and largely untrained because Kell hates battling; he’d much rather just let his Pokemon hide in his coat and do the dueling or fighting himself. After fighting Holland, Kell begins to devote more time to training his Pokemon so they can get stronger. Like him, his Pokemon are high-strung, especially Mimikyu, so Kell often has Calla make Mimikyu little coats like his so it feels safe. Kell also always carries nectars for Oricorio in his coat.

Lila- Lila starts the series with a Purrloin (her first Pokemon, it never evolves), a Houndoom, a Noibat (it evolves in AGOS when she fights the kidnapper guys), and a Fraxure (it evolves when she battles Astrid). Post ADSOM she gains a Thieval and a Night-form Lycanroc. Like their Trainer, Lila’s Pokemon are fast, strong, and they don’t care about collateral damage. Her team starts out significantly stronger than Kell’s because she relied on her Pokemon to help her survive, and she never stops training them so they can get stronger. Once she gets the opportunity in Red London, Lila spoils her Pokemon rotten, and it becomes one of her favorite pastimes.

Holland- Holland only has three Pokemon at the start, courtesy of the Danes; a Galarian Corsola (his main Pokemon), an Absol, and a Grimmsnarl. After he becomes king, he finds a Golurk and receives Stakataka from Osaron. When he gets stuck in Red London, he also finds a Ralts. Holland makes up for his small team with his own magic, and though wild Pokemon are seen as nuisances in White London, Holland loves all Pokemon dearly and wants to make the world better for them. He has the gift that allows him to speak to Pokemon, something Kell is very jealous of. His Pokemon are as roughed up and traumatized as he is, but they love their Trainer and are wickedly strong, much stronger than Kell’s and Lila’s.

Rhy- Rhy starts the series with all of his Pokemon; he has a Talonflame, a Larvesta (it evolves in ACOL), a Yamper, a mega-evolving Ampharos, a Kommo-O, and an Arcanine. His team is strong and well-trained early on because Rhy enjoys battling much more than Kell does, seeing it as a way to make up for his weak magic. Like Holland, Rhy also has the power to talk to Pokemon, which he uses to great effect in battle when commanding his team.

Alucard- Like Rhy, Alucard starts out with all of his Pokemon, and none of them need to evolve. He has a Glameow (Esa), a male Unfeazant (His first Pokemon), a Gyrados, a Golisopod, a Floatzal, and a Crawdaunt. Alucard enjoys battling but mostly has his Pokemon help him sail; the water-types help around the ship, Unfeazant scouts for land, and Esa keeps him company. He and Lila train together often, and he helps her team learn several important moves that she uses later on.

Athos- He has a Zangoose, a Seviper, an Obstagoon, an Arbok, a Beartic, and a female Meowstic. All of Athos Pokemon are nasty, brutal, and sadistic, especially Meowstic. Athos spoils them and gives them free reign to do what they want, so they attack and kill people, Pokemon, and anything they can get their claws on; Holland is often the unfortunate recipient of this behavior as his blood makes them much stronger. Athos has very little strategy beyond “kill it,” but that doesn’t mean he’s easy to take down, and if you lose the battle, you’re not just losing money- you’re losing your life.

Astrid- Astrid has a Weavile, a Venomoth, a Mandibuzz, a Yanmega, a Mawile, and a male Meowstic. Astrid’s Pokemon are a lot calmer than Athos’, but they are much worse to fight, as she focuses less on damage and more on status effects and control. She uses Meowstic to possess other people and Pokemon (so does Athos), and once they’re of no use to her she leaves them for her Pokemon. She can often be found on her throne with Meowstic curled in her lap, a sure sign she’s in somebody else’s body and not her own.

Maxim- Maxim has a male Pyroar, a Durant, a Tyrantrum, a mega-evolving Aggron, a Falinks, and a mega-evolving Garchomp. All of the Steel-types are relics from his days as the Steel Prince; his team is deeply loyal and well-mannered, though they are a bit more playful than their Trainer. They sometimes help Rhy to prank Maxim, knowing full well he loves them too much to discipline them.

Emira- Emira has a female Pyroar, a Milotic, a Leavanny, a Swanna, an Aurorus, and a Lapras. Emira’s Pokemon are her rocks, helping her with her nerves as she runs the palace. They are dutiful and protective; after the Shadows incident they joined Emira in sleeping outside of Rhy’s rooms, ready to defend their prince from any threat. Unlike Emira, however, they are more liberal with their affection and treat Rhy and Kell equally; they don’t understand all of the events that lead to Emira’s frostiness, only that it’s not good for her or Kell.

Teiren- Teiren’s main Pokemon is a Drampa, although he takes care of Hastra’s Dragonite and Herdier when he dies.

Okja- Ojka has a Bisharp, a Corviknight, a Froslass, a Gallade, and a Kartana she recieves from Holland.

Ned- Ned has a Spewpa, a Dreepy, a Wurmple, a Bunnelby, and a Tranquill. They help him around the shop.

Osaron- Osaron is a bit of a funny case, because he technically is a Pokemon, or actually several; Black London is actually the Ultra Realm, and Osaron is Necrozma (with a slightly more human appearance). He can control other legendaries like Necrozma does in the games, specifically Darkrai and a destructive legendary from each London; Yveltal for Red, Girantina for Grey, Kyurem for White. In his final form though, Osaron becomes Eternatus, and he’s nearly impossible to defeat, as he just gigantimaxs his own team of legendaries. It’s kind of hard to explain, but the main thing is he’s tough, ancient, and has no concept of right or wrong, just like in the books.

- After Holland “dies” in ADSOM, Kell ends up taking his Pokemon with him back to Red London (Pokemon have no trouble traveling), as he’s unwilling to leave them to get mauled but also didn’t want them to go to Black London with their dead trainer. None of them like him (for obvious reasons), and it’s a steep learning curve for Kell when he has to deal with Grimmsnarl, who keeps trying to kill him, Absol, who keeps trying to run away, and Corsola, who alternates between pelting him with rocks and lying in bed too depressed to do anything. The only thing that seems to help is taking them to the riverside (Holland did this often and his Pokemon love it), but even that goes south when Holland’s Galarian Corsola meets the much healthier, normal Corsola that live in Red London, who have no idea what’s wrong with it and frantically run away. Even Rhy talking to the Pokemon doesn’t work; they just continue to make Kell’s life miserable, which adds to the stress Kell gets in AGOS.

- Kell brings Holland’s Pokemon with him when he follows Ojka; seeing them alive and well-cared is the only thing that keeps Holland from killing Kell horribly outright.

- After Holland’s real death, Kell adopts them again. Corsola is the exception, as it goes with Holland to die in White London. They don’t come with him on his adventures with Lila; Teiren looks after them while Kell is gone.

- The Inheritor is a Master Ball. I don’t make the rules, it just is.

- The Essen Tach works just like it does in canon, but you can bring one Pokemon with you and you are free to mega-evolve it if you are able. Kell brings Vaporeon, Lila brings Houndoom, and Alucard brings Gyrados. Kisemyr brings an Incineroar, Rul a mega-evolving Manecetric, and Jinnar a mega Charizard Y.

- The Danes’ Pokemon die with them or run away into White London, never to be seen again. Maxim’s Aggron dies with him and Aurorus with Emira. The rest of their Pokemon are taken care of by the Sanctuary.

- Kyurem, under Osaron’s influence, is responsible for White London’s perpetual winter.

- In return for keeping the Master Ball with Osaron, Ned makes Kell have a Pokemon battle with him. He doesn’t win, but he does enjoy it.
