Dark
Ace never runs away, too scared to do so. Instead, he remains tethered to his twin, and as the years pass, the constant abuse twists him into... something else entirely.With a smile full of sharp teeth that never leaves his face, Ace's mind is completely shattered. Reality isn't something he's familiar with anymore. He's always hungry, and he'll eat anything.Very friendly, he loves meeting new people and playing with them. Too bad he doesn't quite know the meaning of the word 'play' anymore.Aaron, kicked out for what he did to his brother, uses Ace's freakish strength and eating habits to his advantage. Why wouldn't he do so? He's created such a good attack dog.
Mafia
A suspiciously rich family, run by a father and his two sons. Victor trusts Adrian well enough, trusts him to run a business and be his heir. Aaron, however, is a different story. How can he trust a man who twisted his own twin brother into... that thing?But he refuses to mirror his own father: he's not about to kill the boy and lose another son.Aaron runs his small part of the family business, isolated in his building. He has a reputation: impulsive, bored, promiscuous. Nothing can really overshadow the other part of that reputation, though: the smiling shadow that follows him, sharp teeth dripping with the blood of anyone who's annoyed him.Ace is so happy to serve.(Similar to Dark AU, except the family is the mob.)
Mafia Prince
Running to his father after his twin brother tried to kill him was the best decision Ace could have made: who knew what could have happened otherwise?With Aaron... gone, it was time to heal.The encounter left its scars, though, and Ace never really recovered. His father and older brother decided he should have no part in the family business, and he agreed.Protected, safe, naive, Ace moves through life carelessly, trying to find love, enjoying his hobbies, having absolutely nothing to worry about. After all, Father and Adrian will take care of everything with extreme prejudice.
Fantasy
Cursed weapons really shouldn't find their way into the hands of cruel little monsters. The Graves family, lords over some small hamlets in the forest, found this out in the worst way when one of those cursed weapons fell into their youngest's hands.Luckily, their eldest son intervened before Aaron could strike a killing blow, but it wasn't enough to stop him from drawing blood. And he paid for that crime with his life.Sort of.In his rage, after shooting him in the side with an arrow, Adrian used the same cursed dagger that had injured his favorite brother to slit Aaron's throat, leaving him dead in the moment. Unbeknownst to anyone at the time, that curse would bring him back as a vengeful spirit, a revenant, possessing his own dead body.He roams the land, looking for trouble, looking for lives to ruin and end, looking for revenge, and looking for the weapon that holds him captive on this plane of existence.Ace never healed, but he tries to live his life despite the curse affecting him, linking him to the one person he's most terrified of. He's extremely sheltered and protected, his family offering immense rewards to anyone who can break the curse threatening his life.
Merfolk
Big.Blind.Hungry.From the abyss, they come to hunt.
Other AUs that sometimes appear on the blog. Some brief information, and of course, always feel free to ask for more.
Reverse AU: Ace likes machines very much. More than he likes people. He likes control. And his moral compass is non-existent. This AU asks the question of 'what if Ace was the evil twin?'.
Unity AU: Mafia AU but Aaron goes to therapy, so he doesn't try to kill his brother as teenagers. All three brothers run different parts of the family business under their Father's guidance. Adrian, as the heir, shoulders the most responsibility, Aaron deals with the dirtier aspects of the business, and Ace happily tinkers away in his workshop, creating machines and explosives and occasionally advising on white collar crime.
Happy Gears AU and Stripper AU: Never adopted by the Graves at all, both twins are separated at birth and taken by different families. Ace grows up with two loving moms, and works as a mechanic, awkward and shy and really good with machines. Aaron's kicked out as a teenager and works at a strip club for a living. He's arrogant, aggressive, and desperate for money. (In this AU, Ace is a trans man.)
Android AU: Whoever thought that breaking the law and commissioning an android copy of their son in this solarpunk AU should have known better. Of course Aaron would try to destroy it. Why would he tolerate the replacement everyone favored? Ace is taken in by two women who adopt him as their own, keeping the fact that he's inhuman a tightly locked secret. Something like him shouldn't exist. He's too human. Ace's eyes are the only thing that give him away, and they're easily explained by cybernetic implants to correct his vision.
Bunny AU: Half man, half bunny. A wererabbit permanently stuck in a halfway form. Bunny ears, bunny feet. 100% adorable. And also 4ft tall.
Mechanic AU: Joining the army doesn't seem like the right decision. Ace likes working with machines, and through a frankly cartoonish sequence of events, he ends up fixing the mob's cars. Later, he's designated as the expert on explosives, and then weapons. Known as the Mechanic, he'd just like to be left alone with his machines, but his bosses give him a pretty good life as long as he does what they want. Seems like a fair trade.
Pokémon AU: Main verse but there are Pokémon.
