Rick and Morty x Skulduggery Pleasant AU in which the Omen we know is not originally from the dimension we follow, and actually got dragged here after this dimension's Omen got killed when he got lost in the forest when he was four. In our Omen's home dimension, he was born after Auger had already fulfilled the prophecy, therefore he wasn't a direct side effect of Auger's birth and was actually wanted by his parents. Their family is really happy and everything is going well until someone (Emmeline's real father who ran off when she was young maybe?) attacks their home and kills their parents in an attempt to prove a point to the other Grandpa (the Rick figure in the story) that stepped into his role. Auger, Omen and their grandfather run into the forest together but get separated, with Omen being stuck in a fight between the man he believed to be his grandfather and his actual grandfather.
That's when the switch happens. Evil Grandpa shunts to another dimension with our Omen, Regular Grandpa follows, and the original Omen (the one from the universe we follow) is caught in the crossfire and dies.
Our Omen's original family is now presumably dead, and this dimension's Omen is also dead, so Regular Grandpa decides to bury the body somewhere in the family estate and delete our Omen's memories of his old home that would give away what actually happened, then resigns himself to only check in every few years since this dimension's Emmeline already has a father.
They only find out when looking through Omen's memories once he's older (already adventuring with Crepuscular). Omen always chalked up the differences in his and Auger's early childhood memories to age because who remembers exactly what happened so long ago? But then Crepuscular expresses worry about the huge gaps in Omen's memory, because it's normal for them to be fuzzy but there are chunks missing completely and it's obvious they've been tampered with.
Yada yada, they investigate and end up figuring it out, but Omen refuses to believe until he digs up the corpse of a four year old somewhat near his house (in the forest connected to their backyard).
Auger notices his mood deteriorate harshly, and ends up forcing the truth out of him after multiple fights. Now they are both grieving a family they don't remember, which drives a wedge between them since a) the brother Auger was actually born with has been dead for over a decade and b) Omen's actual family treated him so much better than the one he was forced into.
In an attempt to get answers / closure, Omen travels back to his home dimension, only to find it in ruins due to some kind of catastrophe (caused by Evil Grandpa possibly?). His old house sparks the forgotten memories back, which only serves to make him angrier since he thinks of what he could have had.
Both brothers struggle to cope, since Auger wants to comfort Omen but feels like it's a betrayal to his actual twin, and Omen is somewhat bitter about being forced to tolerate mistreatment he shouldn't have had to receive in the first place.
