i'm interested in the details behind your wha au, mind talking about it?

sure! everything about the au is below this read more:

luke triton is the unknowing son of misthallery village's lord clark triton and doctor brenda triton! brenda's obviously one of the village doctors, typically taking care of medicinal needs & caring for patients. her physician knowledge is PEAK. while, clark is basically on good terms with the witches around his area and encourages healthy relationships between his villagers and said witches.

clark is, unfortunately, kidnapped in this version by jean descole - who is a brim hat - and brenda is extremely worried for her husband. that said, luke is the one who witnessed clark's abduction and is forcefully given a tattoo. it was essentially jean's intent to make luke into his apprentice, but he also knew about clark's connection to his younger brother and it's for his 'master plan.' you know, securing the legacies... which are forbidden magic items from the pre-pact days.

hershel hears of the news, hides luke's tattoo from the knights view, and takes him in as his apprentice. brenda knows about this, but it's generally kept hush-hush since she's from a witch family and all. hershel's not chasing after the legacies, despite his interest in magic archaeology & history. he's chasing after jean, believing that the brim hat has answers to why he's forgotten a lot of his childhood.

hershel's watchful eye is randall, who is also his best friend and they snuck out at lot in their assembly days to hang out. randall is extremely into hershel, but it's not public information to the apprentices. this is an open secret to the other witches, due to how quick rumors spread.

i'll have more notes below in bullet points, because i don't like writing paragraphs if they're not in narrative form.

additional notes:

luke's full name is lucrentius. he goes by luke, which isn't a mouthful to call him by. lucrentius also means 'wealth', tying into the themes about knowledge and wisdom that's in both original sources!

emmy is a member of the knights moralis whose spearmanship is well-respected and her physical combat skills are something to behold. she's erased memories before, but tries her best to not feel guilty about it.

desmond leads a double life of brim hat and pointed hat. he's not suspected due to his fame and previous apprenticeship underneath the sage of friendship. jean descole is his brim hat persona, due to the nature of brim hats never revealing their faces.

+ desmond also uses transformation magic - which is forbidden - to shift into different forms. it's tattooed across his entire body, except for his face and hands, which is why he's selective & private about his connections.

hershel's other apprentices include: flora, alfendi, and katrielle. all three are his adopted children with different circumstances.

claire is technically deceased, but she's been revived with time reversal magic - it was bill hawks' idea to experiment with it. she's in a loop, repeating the same day with her memories in-tact. shame.

clive is a pointed hat on the tip of becoming a brim hat, mostly to beat the shit out of bill hawks. the dove house is also a bloodline from the day of the pact, like the reinhold house.

luke's magic tattoo allows him to communicate and understand animals. yes, clark also has one, but it's less advanced.

aurora is a golem, another feat of forbidden magic, from the azran empire. she's pretending to be an apprentice under desmond's watch and isn't too well-versed in the modern world.

there is no targent, but brim hats are independent and know each other by name. bronev reinel is one of them - he's responsible for a lot of things in this au. lol.

Tell me at length about Layton and his children

What do you want me to tell?

Hershel is given a 16-18 year old Flora (I lean towards the 17-18 range because she's listed as no longer a child in the japanese but also she's still needing a guardian) through a Baron's will because he managed to not only find her but also the apple birthmark on her neck that only shows when she smiles from happiness

She likes to cook, even though she's bad at it and has an adventurous streak but tragically her new guardian is so petrified of being unable to protect people she gets left behind and coddled a bit. Which probably isnt good for her autophobia, but what would the Layton family be if not people who really need therapy.

It's never stated where Alfendi comes from. Because he has DID he'd've needed severe childhood trauma, even if his most.... i don't know how to say it, but we'll go with present alter was formed later in life. I read a really good fic that he was an orphaned juvinile delinquent in scotland that Hershel adopted and I like that idea. I think regardless of blood relation to Hershel, the youngest Hersh would get custody of him is probably 6.

Al's character is just so neat, he's passionate and a bit of a dick. He just likes solving mysteries and his dialogue with Lucy about benign shit like their opinion on pickles is great, I love him 10/10. I also really like the headcanon that the placid alter Fendi was based off of how he needed/wanted the kindness of his father while he was in the coma. lotta angst there i love it, i wish his game wasnt a mobile exclusive

Last but not least is Katrielle! Much like her father with the Autism Queen behaviour. The fact that she became a detective, exquisite! The fact that she can't go 30 seconds without mentioning some form of dessert? even better, fashion icon. She's so bubbly and is just vibing. She acts as a good foil for father in terms of personality. It's a shame she kinda got abandonned at like age 10, but at least it wasn't on purpose and he did come back! I have a bit less of a feel for Flora or Al in that regard simply because Al would have been 19 and in classic western tradition mostly on his own, and Flora would be around 28-30 and well beyond Full Grown

I dunno what else I can say, I'm a sucker for the doting single dad trope. I do like that in Azran Legacy Lucille does tell Hershel that "You're always worried about your kids even when they're grown" (paraphrasing, of course) and I just love the idea of Hershel adopting Flora and immediately going "Oh so THATS WHAT SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT FUCK NO YOU ARE GETTING SAFETY SCISSORS!!"

Oh! There's the fact that in the games Hersh always seems to be... not uncomfortable with but definitely never expecting like normal physical affection like hugs and shit but is totally fine with holding people's hands (namely Luke's) so like.... Human Chain at the grocery store but you know this man would implode when his 12 year old and 3 year old both wan to sit on his lap at the same time.

I also don't know if it's insensitive or what but Hershel making sure Alfendi is taken care of, in therapy to manage his symptoms, Flora and Kat getting counselling for their abandonment traumas/fears, just he makes sure their mental health is well and good but Luke is now 35 and they are still having the

"Professor you should probably go to therapy"

"Yes I should"

"Call. Now."

"No."
