top 5 most chaotic things about AU5, go 👀
They absolutely are paranormal investigators, but because they quite often uncover the GENUINE bad stuff that people think is something paranormal and is actually something real, they end up doing a lot of good work. John is adamant that they did see a ghost one time though. They make vlogs. One really stupid one of John goes viral and Koschei is salty about it
Several people, at various points, attempt to unofficially adopt these two - especially when they're teenagers - but the two of them at flighty as hell and tend to just vanish with very little warning. As a result, they sort of end up flitting between various different people who have offered to look after them, including Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart and Wilfred Mott. But no matter what, John and Koschei always stick together
In the verse where the Doctor/John doesn't end up living with Brax, Brax eventually ends up being the TARDIS up for sale. In AU5, for reasons that I can't really explain, John and Koschei when they're about 18 or 19 manage to have a bit of money each, and Koschei is like "ok we've got to be careful with this and save it up -" and John is immediately like "yeah about that I bought a van."
John and Koschei are more co-dependent in this au than any of the other verses, due to various reasons, but mostly that they have only been able to depend on each other for a very long time, and being split up by force usually meant bad things (namely, that they would be taken back to what they'd run away from). It gets bad enough that they both genuinely panic if they don't know where the other is. Which means that, even as adults, they HATE separating, and text each other CONSTANTLY (using an app that Koschei coded which is like...a messaging app but using their Gallifreyan cipher? So they know only they can read it, but also only they can send messages to each other). HOWEVER, they still fight A HUGE AMOUNT, much to the despair of anyone around them, but also they refuse to let each other out of their sight so it works out well for everyone
