Elmo: [Now that La Primavera is over, spring brings more new changes to Regalo]
Elmo: [Arcana Academia]
Elmo: [Sparked by the lord’s plan to turn the island into a center for learning, Arcana Famiglia aims to establish a school]
Elmo: [With a goal to promote learning among the citizens]
Elmo: [Today, everyone in the Family is once again busily fulfilling their young Donna’s wishes]
~*Scene: Alchemy Room*~
Elmo: Hey, Ash
Ash: What?
Elmo: What should you do if you want to always be with the person you like?
Ash: …Where’d that come from? And you have someone like that?
Elmo: Yeah, I do. I like someone
Ash: Huh…anyone I know?
Elmo: Yeah…
Ash: Okay, so why do you look so gloomy?
Elmo: I want to be with her, but I don’t have good reason to be
Ash: Reason?
Elmo: She’s always busy, so I don’t a reason to be with her
Ash: Hm…that sounds like a pain
Elmo: …I’m being serious here
Ash: Is this person a student?
Elmo: Um, I guess…so?
Ash: Then just ask her to study with you
Elmo: Study?
Ash: Yeah. If she came to the Academia, then she should at least want to study
Elmo: Oh…you’re right. I’ll go try it!
Ash: …Right now?
Elmo: Yeah! Thank you, Ash
(*door closes)
Ash: …He’s surprisingly assertive
~*Scene: Hallway*~
Elmo: Miss
Felicita: Elmo…what are you doing here so late?
Elmo: I wanted to ask you on a date
Felicita: A date…?
Elmo: I wanted us to study together
>We can do that anytime/p>
>Why the sudden invitation?
Elmo: Anytime?
Felicita: I won’t always have time though
Elmo: Am I bothering you?
Felicita: No, you’re not
Felicita: (Studying as a date…? Elmo can be so strange)
Elmo: Thank you, Miss. Can we do it now?
Felicita: Okay
Elmo: I’ll be waiting in the study
Felicita: Okay. I’ll be there once I’m ready
~*Scene: Study*~
Felicita: You sure seem to be having fun
Elmo: Huh?
Felicita: You just look so happy
Elmo: Yeah. I am happy
Felicita: Yeah. …I guess I’m the problem
Elmo: Why?
>You’ve been teaching me this whole time
>It’s hard to enjoy myself like this
Felicita: I’m not helping you learn much
Elmo: That’s not true. I’m happy just being helpful to you
Elmo: And Jolly said that teaching people also helps you study
Felicita: I started the Academia because I wanted to make studying fun…
Elmo: That’s fine. I’m happy for a different reason
Felicita: Huh?
Elmo: It’s because I’m with you
Felicita: Elmo…thank you
Felicita: …It’s a little frustrating. I need to try harder
Elmo: You don’t have to be frustrated. All I used to do was study
Felicita: Huh?
Elmo: Maybe becayse my only purpose was to be useful to Jolly
Felicita: Oh…
Elmo: The more I learned, the more he praised me. That’s why I studied
Felicita: I see…
Elmo: …Miss, are you having fun with me right now?
Felicita: Huh?
Elmo: I invited you to study because I wanted to spend time with you
Elmo: But, if it made you look sad, then I guess our first date was a failure
Felciita: Elmo…
Elmo: So, can you give me another chance?
>What are you planning?
>Right now?
Elmo: I have a great idea. Can our date go on a little longer?
Felicita: …Gladly
Elmo: Thank you
Elmo: Yeah
Felicita: …
Elmo: Is that a no?
Felicita: No, go ahead
Elmo: Can we maybe go outside for a bit?
Felicita: Outside?
Elmo: The outside air feels great after a long study session
Felicita: That does sound convincing
Elmo: So, let’s go
Felicita: Okay
Love
~*Scene: Beach*~
Felicita: I haven’t been to the beach at night in a while
Elmo: You don’t like it?
Felicita: That’s not it
Elmo: I thought we could look at the stars while listening to the waves
Felicita: The stars? …Oh, wow
Elmo: I just read a book that said they look the prettiest this time of year
Elmo: Do you like it?
Felicita: Yeah
Elmo: I’m glad
Felicita: They really are beautiful. What’s that white band of stars called?
Elmo: That’s called the Milky Way
Felicita: …You know a lot
Elmo: I like it when you’re happy, so I studied a lot
Felicita: You did it to make me happy?
Elmo: You’re happy when I talk about things you don’t know, right?
Felicita: You studied for that?
Elmo: Yeah
Felicita: …I’d like to hear more about the stars
Elmo: Okay, just a little more…
Elmo: Did you learn about Cygnus in Dante’s class?
Felicita: Yeah
Elmo: That’s the constellation over there that looks like a bird
Felicita: That one?
Elmo: Yeah, the Northern Cross is in the center of it
Felicita: It’s so big
Elmo: Cygnus represents the form a god took when he fell in love with a human woman
Felicita: Huh?
Elmo: He loved her so much…and couldn’t stop even though he knew he couldn’t have her
Elmo: So he turned into a swan so he could see the one he loved
Felicita: That’s a nice story…
Elmo: The god already had a wife, and the woman also had a husband. It’s not all that nice
Elmo: But, it still stuck with me. Maybe I relate to it a bit
Felicita: You do?
Elmo: To love and yearn for someone…you’re not allowed to be with. But you still can’t help but love them
Elmo: It’s just like me
Felicita: …
Elmo: Can we walk for a bit? We’ll get cold just standing around
Felicita: …You’re right
Elmo: Give me your hand
Felicita: My hand…?
Elmo: Yeah. I wouldn’t want you to trip on the sand
Felicita: …Thank you, Elmo
Elmo: I want to stay with you a little longer
Felicita: …Okay
Laugh
~*Scene: Alchemy Room*~
Ash: Jolly, is Elmo here by chance?
Jolly: Elmo? No, he’s not
Ash: Just where did he go?
Jolly: He’s not a child. Leave him be
Ash: Well, I guess it’s not urgent
Ash: Oh, wait…he might be with a girl
Jolly: A girl…?
Ash: He left saying he just had to be with the person he liked
Jolly: …When was this?
Ash: Why are you upset all of a sudden?
Jolly: Answer me
Ash: Just now
Ash: Hey, where are you going?
Jolly: To bring Elmo back
Ash: Huh? Didn’t you say to leave him be?
Jolly: Did I?
(*door closes)
Ash: What was that?
~*Scene: Rose Garden*~
Elmo: Watch your step, Miss
Felicita: Okay
Elmo: The way out is just through here
Felicita: I didn’t realize there was secret passage here
Elmo: It’s a secret, okay Miss? Just between us
Felicita: Okay
Jolly: Stop right there
Elmo: Jolly!
Jolly: Where are you taking Ojou-sama at this hour?
Elmo: Just outside for a walk?
Jolly: And what if something happened? Can you take responsibility?
Elmo: Nothing would happen. And even if it did, I’d protect her
Jolly: I have no time for childish nonsense. You can’t protect her
Elmo: I’m being serious
Jolly: If you must go outside, I will accompany you
Elmo: No way. I want to be alone with Miss
Jolly: So does everyone else in the Family. You don’t get special treatment
Elmo: Everyone? Even you, Jolly? You want to be alone with Miss too?
Jolly: Yes, that’s correct
Elmo: Then are you just doing this because you don’t want us to be alone together?
Jolly: Frankly, yes
(*grip) Elmo: Seriously! Don’t get in the way of our date just because you’re jealous!
Jolly: Jealous… Hmph, don’t you realize that you’re also troubling Ojou-sama with your selfishness?
Jolly: Throwing a tantrum isn’t very attractive
Elmo: …I’m causing her trouble?
Felicita: ……A little
Elmo: I’m sorry
(*sigh) Felicita: We should be careful not the get caught next time
Elmo: Huh?
Jolly: Let’s go, Donna. You should have some more awareness yourself
Felicita: I’ll be careful. Let’s go, Elmo
Elmo: …Okay!

Okay that’s a relief. I’ve honestly been curious of how your au differs from canon, since the designs are so much different and clearly sun isn’t afraid of eclipse and solar flare doesn’t hate him. So what happened in this au? How is it set up?
Funny thing, I kind of don't have a whole idea of how the story is going to proceed, but I know how it starts and ends, which is something.
The changes really start after Bloodmoon is rebuilt (by the way, this AU takes place in the same universe as this post I made a while ago).
The premise of the story is that Jigsaw found one of Eclipse's backups and built a body for him.
When he is finally placed in the new body. Surprise! He's not an ordinary backup, he's the original Eclipse, who still remembers everything before he died.
One more surprise is that Solar Flare is with him, they also don't know how they got there.
And after that it's a little confusing for me about how the story is going, but one thing I know where it's going is the relationships between each character. First of all, yes, there will be ships, especially with Eclipse.
And about Sun and Eclipse, I like to imagine that Sun discovered that Eclipse was alive after finding him in a horrible situation, where he is almost dead or having a breakdown, problaby having a breakdown, and they end up building their relationship from there, with Sun understanding Eclipse in a way that he never thought he could and Eclipse respects and understands Sun in a way he didn't even know he was capable of.
I think I rambled a little too much about this AU lol, here are some references of the designs and other things:
Eclipse, in the start and the ending (and shirtless):
Jigsaw, because it's such a silly boy:
Solar Flare, they're that one character i draw every time i want to see boobs:
Sun, big boy, i love him:
Jigsaw and Ruin are completely different entities in this AU, because I can't get rid of Jigsaw, it's really funny to me:
Also, Ruin x Solar, you guys infected me I swear:
And for reference, the height comparison between the gang:

I’m so glad Robin got to rip Eddie a new one in Hands Where I Can See Them!! And ohhhh since Wayne was home when Robin was chewing him out, maybe Wayne will come in with some good advice or just parental disappointment in how Eddie handled everything. Especially if Eddie has to explain exactly how Steve discovered that Eddie thought they weren’t dating.
I love it when Wayne is a mediator in fics, but I also understand if you don’t want to add him into the fic, I just think Eddie needs a calm third party who knows he didn’t mean to hurt Steve, but will be disappointed in how he handled everything. Like what if Wayne had woken up and heard Robin’s parting shot and wants to know what she meant by that. How did Eddie dismiss Steve last night?
I’ve reread each part like five times now, thank you so much for sharing your fics 💖💖
Robin deserved to yell a bit! Not only did Eddie hurt her best friend (criminal offense), he also ruined her night, because Steve was upset, which means Robin is upset, yaknow? Like, of course she's going to do whatever she needs to help Steve out and make sure he's taken care of, but that doesn't mean she wouldn't rather nothing had happened to make that necessary in the first place
I actually did consider adding Wayne in at the end of the most recent part (did the man really sleep through that whole argument? we may never know), but I figured Eddie had probably been through enough for the moment without having to also immediately explain to his uncle what had happened. It bothers me when characters get dog-piled in fics for making a mistake - as in, person after person shuts them out or tells them how badly they've screwed up. It feels a little like saying that they really need to suffer before they can be forgiven, which doesn't sit right. Forgiveness should come from understanding how your behavior hurt someone and working to change that behavior; suffering doesn't teach you jack shit. But that's a different conversation! The point is, I'm at least trying to give Eddie breaks between people going "What were you thinking??" at him
I think Wayne will have to at least make an appearance, though. Steve's practically been living with them, and suddenly he's gone; Wayne could hardly fail to notice the change, even if Eddie wasn't suddenly moping around. And I do love mediator Wayne! The thing I want to avoid is using him as a kind of deus ex machina; I feel like sometimes we bring Wayne in to explain to Eddie how he's feeling, so Eddie doesn't have to work to reach those conclusions on his own (this happens with Robin for Steve, too, I think). It's helpful to have a third party as a sounding board, or to help break up self-destructive patterns, but I like it when characters have to do their own emotional heavy lifting
...anyway, that was probably a lot more rambling than you expected when you sent this ask, which was very kind of you to do and made me smile to read, so hopefully my answer didn't put you off??

AF2 Arcana Academia: Ash
Ash: [Now that La Primavera is over, spring brings more new changes to Regalo]
Ash: [Arcana Academia]
Ash: [Sparked by the lord’s plan to turn the island into a center for learning, Arcana Famiglia aims to establish a school]
Ash: [With a goal to promote learning among the citizens]
Ash: [Today, everyone in the Family is once again busily fulfilling their young Donna’s wishes]
~*Scene: Harbor*~
Ash: …What are you doing at the harbor, Jolly?
Jolly: Why, you ask? I am simply answering a summons from our Donna. What are you doing here?
Ash: …Well I’m also here because I want to see her—
Elmo: Huh? Jolly and Ash? Why are you two here?
Ash: No way. Did Strawberry Head call you here too?
Elmo: You too? You two are also here because of Miss?
Jolly: It seems so
Ash: Why would she call all of us here…?
Jolly: *chuckle*… I believe she’s planning something
Elmo: Planning what?
(*running)
Felicita: Sorry for the wait. Thank you for coming
Elmo: Miss, why did you want to see us?
Felicita: I’ve been making sure everyone understands the teacher introductions and classes for the Academia
Elmo: Introductions?
Felicita: Yeah. Lots of people want more details about who’s teaching what classes
Felicita: Could you three help me out?
Jolly: I see. Then I suppose just Ash will suffice
Ash: Why me?
Jolly: I am not well liked, unfortunately. I believe we are likely to get more students if it were you
Jolly: And aren’t you the one teaching the novice classes?
Ash: I mean, I guess so
Elmo: I can’t really help with that either
Ash: Hey, not you too
Elmo: Well, I’m not a teacher
Ash: …Oh, right
Elmo: So I’m sorry, Miss
Felicita: It’s okay. I’ve got Ash at least
Ash: Hey, I haven’t said I would do it yet
>So you won’t…?
>I won’t take any objections
Ash: I didn’t say that…
Felicita: Nova and Dante were happy to help…
Ash: Fine! That’s all you want, right?
Ash: That’s pretty arrogant. You’re not going to hear my opinion?
Felicita: …You really don’t want to?
Ash: …It’s not that. I just don’t like things being decided without my input
Felicita: I’m glad. I knew you would do it
Ash: Then why call all three of us?
Felicita: I actually wanted you all to do it together…
Ash: Even Elmo?
Felicita: I heard he was helping with classes, so I’d be happy if he joined in
Felicita: But, I guess it ended up being just you after all
Ash: So you knew this would happen?
>I believed in you, Ash
>I just figured
Felicita: I knew you would help
Ash: …As long as I’m living up to your trust in me
Ash: Yeah, Sunglasses was just as expected
Felicita: You’re nice, so I knew you would help
Ash: Oh, really? Hah, for once you’re talking as smooth as a Donna should
Ash: Oh, what about Luca?
Felicita: Huh?
Ash: Won’t he be teaching alchemy? He’d usually be the one doing this
Felicita: I have another job from Luca. Besides…
Ash: Besides what?
Felicita: The kids who see Luca’s alchemy always mistake it for magic tricks…
Ash: …Well, his alchemy always has been that type
Felicita: But, we can’t have them getting the wrong idea about alchemy
Ash: Yeah, we wouldn’t want them summoning pigeons everywhere
Felicita: That’s why I thought it would be best if you taught
Ash: Okay, so what do I have to do?
Felicita: That’s up to you
Ash: Yeah, okay. Hmm… I guess might as well make it a big show that’s easy to understand
Ash: But it can’t take too long to set up…
Ash: It needs to be done quickly, but how do I also make it interesting…
Felicita: Haha
Ash: …Why are you laughing? I’m thinking really hard here
Felicita: Well, you complain, but you’re still giving it some real thought
Felicita: It’s that part of you that I…
>Really like
>Think is cute
Ash: …Then you better watch me
Felicita: Okay
Ash: By cute, you mean me?
Felicita: Yeah
Ash: How exactly am I cute?
Felicita: Like how you’re not honest?
Ash: Geez, you sure run your mouth…
Felicita: It’s almost time. Are you ready?
Ash: Yeah. Whatever our Donna commands
Love
~*Scene: Fiore Street*~
Felicita: Thanks for today
Ash: Hah, dealing with all those kids sure was tiring
Felicita: But they all had fun. I’m sure getting to see alchemy for real got them interested
Ash: I thought that it’d be best to show how useful it is for class
Ash: Just being fun doesn’t make it worth learning, right?
Ash: They won’t study it seriously unless they think it’s a necessary skill
Felicita: You’re acting like a real teacher
Ash: Just “like” one? I have to be a teacher now, right?
Felicita: Yeah. Be sure to take your job seriously
Ash: I know. I’ll do my best to meet your expectation, Donna
Felicita: Yeah. I’m counting on you
Ash: Okay, Donna. Since did so much for you today, do I get a reward?
Ash: I came out here on my day off. Don’t I always say how important equivilant exchanges are?
Felicita: But, I don’t have anything…
Ash: Not like that. …I just need you
Felicita: !
Ash: Or do you think that’s not enough?
Felicita: Of course it is
Ash: Then, it’s fine. So stay with me for as long as I spent with you
Ash: It’s not that much to ask, right?
Felicita: …Are you sure that’s all?
Ash: What do you mean?
Felicita: You worked so hard today, which made me happy
Felicita: I’m not sure just being together makes things equivalent…
Ash: Hmm. Then what do you think you can do to make it equivalent?
Felicita: …I don’t know
Ash: Call it homework then
Felicita: Homework?
Ash: Think of something for me by our next day off. I’ll meet you at the same place
Ash: Give some thought to how you’ll pay me back
Felicita: …Alright
Ash: It might actually be enough if all you think of until then is me
Ash: But unfortunately, I won’t be satisfied with that
Ash: So I’ll look forward to what you come up with
Laugh
~*Scene: Church Inside*~
Ash: Name’s Ash. I’ll be teaching alchemy when the Arcana Academia opens
Ash: But I’m sure a lot of you don’t know what “alchemy” means just from hearing the word
Ash: So today, I’ll be…
Felicita: Ash?
Ash: Why does that kid have a mirror…?
Ash: H-hold on one minute…!
Felicita: What’s wrong?
Ash: …That kid
Felicita: What kid?
Ash: She’s got a mirror
Felicita: Huh?
Ash: …See, didn’t I tell you?
Felicita: Yeah, I see
Ash: Do something, Strawberry Head
Felicita: Like what…
Ash: Hurry! What If I look at it by mistake and turn into a tiger!?
Felicita: I know, but…
Girl: Mister, why are you mad?
Ash: I am not mad!
Felicita: Don’t look that way!
Ash: Ah!? …That was close
Felicita: That’s a nice mirror. Where did you get it?
Girl: The nice man wearing sunglasses gave it to me
Ash: Huh!? A nice man wearing sunglasses?
Felicita: Ah…Jolly…
Ash: He is so not a “nice” man!
Girl: ??
Felicita: Can I borrow it just for the presentation?
Girl: Sure, but…we all have one
Felicita: Huh? He said they were “magic mirrors that grant energy”!?
Ash: Huh?
Girl: See, we all have them…
Boy: Mister, show us some alchemy already! If you’re tired, you can look into this mirror!
Felicita: Ash! Don’t look!
Ash: Damn it, what was Jolly thinking…!!
Ash: Guh…
Boy: Wah! A tiger!!
(*roar!)
Felicita: (What now? At this rate…)
Elmo: Miss, what happened!?
Felicita: Elmo!? Hurry! Bring me an apple!
Elmo: Huh, an apple?
Felicita: Just do it!
Elmo: O-okay! Hold on!
Boy: I’m scared. Tigers are scary!!
Felicita: Ash! Sit!
(*grrr…)
Felicita: Now!
(*quiet…)
Felicita: It’s okay, everyone. He’s not scary. This tiger is nice to children
Boy: …Really?
Felicita: Really. You can pet him if you want
Boy: She’s right. …He’s so fluffy!
Felicita: Isn’t he?
Girl: I want to pet him too!
Felicita: Okay, take turns
Felicita: (This wasn’t supposed to happen…but they’re happy so I guess it’s fine)
Ash: (No way it is!)
Jolly: *chuckle*…
