Regrowth AU: Abigail can't reach the feathers on her back around the wings, or the ones on the parts of her wings closest to her back. She has to get help preening. Also she needs to wear a top with a largish gap in the back for her wings, and to prevent clothing feathers (like hat hair except with feathers). This annoys her. It annoys her so much. But if she doesn't get help preening it itches and her oil glands (base of the wing) leak.

That’s why she absolutely adores her team. They take turns helping her preen, getting her wings ready each time they’re going to go out planting because she needs to be their eye in the sky. That’s why her team is so good, Abigail can find the best planting spots from the air and then pass that info on to the rest of her team.

Her team also helps her with clothes. Over time they figured the easiest way to dress her was halter tops that tie at the neck, or just using a long piece of fabric and wrapping it around in various configurations. Botfight lady was the one who came up with that design, and it’s so simple and versatile that Abigail rarely wears regular shirts anymore. Her dad’s less thrilled, of course, because he thinks the tops are too revealing for his baby girl, but she just scoffs and ignores him. He can whine when he has giant feathered wings sticking out of his back!

Regrowth AU: What if the botfight lady (who lost) got altered though. She ends up on Abigail's regrowth team, which due to sheer chance is all women. Her transformation means that amongst other things she can now run on all fours and has a spine like a cat's. At first she doesn't do the all fours thing but after a few days in the regrowth team she goes 'ah screw it my hands are covered in dirt anyway' and she's SO FAST. She runs like a cheetah, ZOOM but she's exhausted after a minute.

Regrowth AU: People don’t care what is planted in the Wastelands. The ecosystem’s wrecked anyway. Annoyingly kudzu has a low magic tolerance so they can’t plant that because it turns into animate plant monsters and chases people until it seizes up and dies. So they have to plant other stuff. Tadashi, Wasabi, and Gogo usually plant edible stuff; the rest just plant anything they think might survive. They have equal plant survival rates.

I’m picturing that over time, as the regrowth project starts to take off and the teams become better at planting and fighting off the crazy monster plants in the wild, that they start friendly competitions.

Like, which team can plant the most in a week, which ones have the best plant survival rates, that kind of stuff.

Abigail’s team is really competitive because there are some that think they’re less good because they’re all women. Even though they’re one of the best teams out there. But their true rivals are the Nerd Herd, who are just as good as Abi’s team. It’s a friendly rivalry, but a rivalry all the same

Botfight lady and GoGo are epic rivals for speed. No one gets in their way when they’re speed-planting, because they will just get run over. No prisoners!
