I made a post here a while ago where I was wondering why Feferi wasn't more like the ruler in Meenah's time. The more I thought about it, the more endeared I became to the version of Feferi I was building in my head and I drew a lot of sketches for her! (More posts will be added in a reblog. Edit: I DONT KNOW WHY SOME PICS LOOK SO SMALL? Click to see em better please >:V)
The myth The legend The menace, on top of having her be more out of touch, I ended up making her a bit ditzier ^^"
She's got a problem with babying land-dwellers :/
Feferi is way more blunt in her 'break up', straight up telling Eridan that she kept it going for so long just because she needed his help.
Eridan is DECIMATED. I thought that having this interaction go more harshly could also help Eridan's arc, but I'd have to plan that out more.
Feferi is nosy and especially admonishes Vriska's behavior, causing conflict between the two.
Eridan continues being a twat, but without his usual intensity. He says stupid shit around Fef more now to get under her skin. He's very spiteful towards her.
And it WORKS. Fef will argue back everytime.
Sollux is so done with them both.
Sollux is still dealing with his heartbreak over Aradia, and instead of Fef becoming his manic pixie dream girl ready to cure his depression...
Fef is largely clueless about what's really going on.
(Again, there is/will be a reblog with two more pics of this AU)

Inherit Furever AU (Alt. Nepeta and Equius arcs in canon)
When I first read Homestuck with someone who was rereading it, bit by bit, they would send me fansongs of characters as we met them, and when I first ran into Nepeta/Equius, I got Phemie C's 'Furever' and 'Inherit Nothing'. The beautiful lyrics had me trying to guess what their plotlines would be with such a strong emphasis on friendship (Nepeta) and broken relationships (Equius). Although things happened differently than what I expected in the canon, I still like how I thought their fates would end up, so I combined the two and got this:
Equius is more serious with his insistance on following the hemospectrum. He doesn't recognize Karkat as his 'leader' and does his own thing instead, much to the annoyance of the mutant-blood. Equius just can't accept it; if nothing matters anymore with how their society had been built, then Equius's beliefs would shatter. He doubles down with Eridan on wanting to keep the caste, becoming more controlling and isolated, much to Nepeta's dismay as she has continuesly tried to sway him into joining in eith everyone else. Eventually, the moirals are forced to separate. It hurts for the both of them, but they just can't agree on things. Equius has hurt her too many times.
He is going to run into a moral dilemma when he makes a plan with Eridan to join the enemy side instead. Ha had tried (unsuccessfully) to recruit Gamzee as the highest-blooded landweller but only got a blank response at first. So Eridan and Equius started their rampage without him.
Eridan would try to convince Feferi; things went wrong again. Equius was searching for Karkat to kill him, convinced that doing so would set things right and make Nepeta have no choice but to go with them. On his way, he runs into Gamzee, walking around with the head of Tavros. Equius nervously asks if the purple-blood has joined their cause and, in a haze, Gamzee agrees. 'Kill the lowerbloods...' Gamzee whispers with a smirk, as he walks on ahead to seek his next victim. Equius is giddy, feeling things are finally going right.
He catches Karkat, there's a struggle and a chase as Karkat realizes what's happening and runs away. Now with the added pressure od wanting to to follow an order by his 'superior', Equius is taking this much more seriously. He unfortunately, loses Karkat when he steps outside the base. There's a wide river, and Equius can barely make out two figures on the other side. It's Nepeta... and Gamzee. He has her on a chokehold.
'Kill the lowbloods.'
His loyalties are twisted. This is what his incompetence with the bow should have been foreshadowing for, as hes too far away to save her with his strength, his only hope now is to draw on his bow and arrow.
So nervous, his hands shaking, he decides what side he wants to be on. He aims. He fires. The bow shatters in slow motion behind the arrow as blood blossoms into frame behind it. The camera follows the arrow as it goes towards its target getting faster, and faster until it lands squarely on Gamzee's shoulder, making him drop Nepeta, saving his friend but costing him his life as while he was distracted, he was pierced by a sickle.
Nepeta screams.
Equius's body drops to show Karkat, looking confused and trembling, stepping away from the body with his eyes fixated on the arrow on Gamzee's shoulder. Nepeta watched her moiral save her and die for it.
She is numb. Karkat has apologized and explained that he had been hunted by Equius and thought he was going to shoot her, but Nepeta is unresponsive.
As the adventure pauses and the humans join, they have the 'Corpse Party', and Nepeta gets a little too emotional. To herself, she vows revenge, filled with anger. While everyone else is socializing, she skulks in the shadows and hunts the troll Equius saved her from, choosing to put the blame on him (and a bit on Karkat.)
So yeah. Nepeta lives in this au lol
And eventually gets to be the one to kill Gamzee cuz woohoo
(I'll make sketches for this AU later)
