this was inspired by @fabesblueberries drawing of Desmond, Eloise and Wolfgang with animal traits (please go check it out the art is very good) and the au began from there.
originally it was an au where the cast slowly started to transform into animal hybrids, but after reading to cover one’s eyes by wei_wei_wei on ao3, the au changed directions.
now it’s an au where some members of the cast have a supernatural affinity.
Damon is a snake hybrid.
Wolfgang is a werewolf.
Jett is a were coyote.
Ulysses is a warlock who was forced to make a pact with a demon named Stolas.
Toshiko is a yokai who doesn’t have a mouth.
Kai got abducted by the Fae as a kid and that left him weird.
Jean’s descended from a dragon.
And Eva is an omen bringer/banshee. (Whenever something bad is about to happen, she gets the urge to scream).
The whole plot kinda revolves around this ring that Damon has that makes him look like a regular human. Turns out it actually belongs to Jean’s family and was forged by Ingrid’s ancestors centuries ago, and Jean is actually looking for it.
Stolas, Ulysses’s patron once wanted the ring to study it, so Jean’s dragon ancestor handed it off to the fae for safe keeping.
However, because of Kai, (timey-wimey shenanigans), it ended up in the hands of a garden snake who got transformed into a human man when wearing the ring. This guy is Damon’s father and Damon’s mom ended up killing him for lying to her and stealing the ring so her son would grow up as a normal human.
And yeah that’s the au so far.
One day Moonpaw gets abducted by Twolegs like Leafpaw was in the New Prophecy. Instead of escaping however, she ends up getting stuck in a Twoleg den with a kittypet.
The kittypet is an old, white tom with claw scars on his shoulder. He is also deaf, though Moonpaw thinks that it’s just from old age.
The Kittypet is named Snowy. He can understand Moonpaw a bit through lip reading, but they still struggle to communicate with one another. Still, he does manage to answer some of Moonpaw’s questions.
“How did you get those scars?” -Moonpaw
“I’don’t remember. I’was young.” -Snowy
Snowy ends up telling Moonpaw about how he’s moved owners a couple of times, and has now ended up here. But he’s deeply unhappy being a kittypet since he’s really lonely, so when Moonpaw offers him a place back in ThunderClan, Snowy quickly agrees to help in her escape plan.
The two end up getting freed and make it back to clan territory where a patrol finds them. The patrol is happy that Moonpaw’s okay, but is distrustful of Snowy until Moonpaw vouches for him. Squirrelstar herself is on the patrol, and makes the decision to allow Snowy to join the clan as an elder.
The patrol lead the two back to camp and Snowy watches Moonpaw intently so he doesn’t miss what she’s saying as she tells him about the clan. Moonpaw is told to help Snowy settle in the elder’s den and they head in that direction.
The elders are telling each other stories when the two walk in. Every cat’s heads turn to face them, but one in particular recognizes Snowy. It’s the kit he failed to save. The kit he wanted as an apprentice, despite the fact that the white kit was deaf and everyone else doubted he could be a warrior without being able to hear.
“S-Snowkit?”
Everyone stares at Brackenfur. Brambleclaw looks at Snowy again. He sees Snowy’s scars, and remembers the hawk.
when Squirrelstar calls the meeting to announce that Snowy will be joining the clan, the clan doesn’t just welcome an old lonely kittypet into the clan,
they welcome the deaf cat that was taken from his home so long ago as well.

And let those who lived longer than they should’ve mourn.
Let Faruzan stare at Sumeru city, comparing it to the one she once knew. Faruzan should struggle dealing with how things have changed. She should search for records of her friends, her classmates, and even just acquaintances in order to learn what happened to them. Faruzan cries at night over the loved ones who died thinking they would never see them again. Let her blame herself for not solving that puzzle quick enough.
Let Olaf from Mondstaht confuse people for his friends from decades ago. Let all his jokes fall flat because they only made before anyone was born. Let him be awkward around Diona and Draff, the kin he lives with, who don’t really know him and only took him in out of pity and his connection to him through blood. Let him be terrified of the cold and ice and snow, because he doesn’t want to wake up in a different time again. Let him wake up in a Springvale that’s comfortably familiar yet terrifying foreign to him at the same time. Let him rely on the bottle to drown out his misery, ignoring the displeasure of his great great… Diona when he does so. Let him find comfort in a well dressed bard who gets his jokes, who understands his stories like he was there, who has wisdom well beyond his years, who feels like an dream when he wakes up the next morning, hangover hitting him hard.
Let those characters find each other one day, and share a drink as they can relate to each other’s struggles. Let them understand how they miss the world they had left behind, and are constantly reminded of every day. Let Faruzan and Olaf mourn together.
let immortal characters in genshin be horrifying. they're not human and people should recognize that!! it's way more interesting if they don't feel normal
venti forgets to breathe, sometimes. he doesn't need to - he is the air around them. his eyes are just a little too vivid if you look at him directly. he doesn't bleed when he should and he doesn't sleep, either.
xiao stays away from liyue harbor. he doesn't want to corrupt them with his karma, and he doesn't want to frighten them, either. he knows what he looks like: too-gold eyes with too-slitted pupils, ears too pointed and fangs too sharp to be human. if you look at him in the corner of your eye, black and green and red dance across his skin and reach out to you.
ei has never learned to be human. her eyes are blinding and electricity crackles over her skin. the puppet she inhabits has too-smooth skin, porcelain clear and cold to the touch. she moves too quickly, too sharply, like a bolt of lightning that cannot slow down.
zhongli forgets human customs. he speaks of events from thousands of years ago like they were yesterday and talks in long-dead languages. to be under his gaze while solidifying a contract is to feel the weight of millennia upon your back. he makes no sound when he walks and yet his steps can shake the ground.
I’m so freaking scared guys.
not if I have anything to say about it!
☹️
Time loop!
Guys, let's make a sandwich. I'll start:
