Hi! I have an absolute au with a friend of mine as well! I’m curious what yours is like, since there’s a lot you can do with the au(sorry if this comes off weird, I’m just legit curious to hear and see yours)
Absolute is short for Absolute Peril, if absolute au is a term for aus i didnt know about it lol.
anyways, absolute is deviated from the original plot during Escaping Peril, which causes ,,,, absolute peril,,,, to happen. i have been writing and concept-ing for over a year now, and so much happens in my for it, but i'll try my hardest to get the general idea for the first arc explained.
whenever peril had accepted the necklace chameleon gave her to rid her firescales (plus clay from her memory) and started following scarlet, chameleon was ordered to find clay and kill him. he succeeded, peril had no clue until after scarlet had killed ruby and her son. when she finally took off the necklace, and realized what had happened, peril killed scarlet. from then on peril became the new vengeful queen of the skywings.
during her rein, her closest friend, turtle, had become her royal animus, casting any spell she wanted. eventually, chameleon was imprisoned by peril and tortured, his wings ripped from him. turtle was tasked with enchanting darkstalker's scroll to never let anyone use his magic, which made darkstalker aware his magic would never return.
moon was pressured by darkstalker to speak with peril, and moon became the messenger for peril and darkstalker's communication, which quickly led to them needing a way to allow darkstalker to quickly commune with others. peril forced turtle to enchant chameleon to allow him to get possessed by darkstalker whenever he pleased. darkstalker became her animus advisor, manipulating peril and turtle secretly, with the goal to eventually steal turtle's magic for himself.
peril began seeking out those who had wronged her or clay with intent to harm them. she wanted every dragon to fear her, so that everything she cares for never gets taken again. the first dragon worthy of note (besides chameleon) she had hurt was starflight, killing him for not acting to protect clay. she would publicly execute or torture these dragons herself in the arena.
turtle was fearful of her from the start of her rein, but the fear became overbearing during this period of bloodshed. he was often forced to help with the harm, and he knew it had to stop. peril had another execution planned for tsunami, and right before she was about to begin the show, turtle plunged a spear at peril's throat, fast enough to penetrate her scales using his animus magic. peril's last moments were spent being held by her closest friend, the same one who killed her.
RAHHHHHHH okay :) thats the general plot. a LOT (and i mean,,,, like 3 hours worth of reading) has been left out. but the first arc of this au is heavily focused of peril (obviously), but many other characters are heavily important. i actually plan on making many many AMVs for this au,,,,, as i would rather draw the story than write it all out as a narrative... so look for that in the future
if anyone has any questions i can definitely answer :) this au is one of the things i am most obsessed about , and only one other person is deeply aware of it, so i would LOVE to get more people in on my batshit angsty dragons. YAY
heres a sketch of chameleon as a treat for those who read this whole thing !!!
