Carbarn (Carmine/Barnham?) BAKER AU?
LOL yeah Carbarn baker AU. Just a little thing that I cooked up with my bananas bonkers rarepair that I love very much
(Prefacing that this hinges on Barnham being in Labryinthia when he was significantly young (10/11 years old) that he does not remember much outside of being in Labryinthia. It also hinges on him not being knowledgeable about English history due to living and growing up in an isolated place for most of his life. + That Herlock Sholmes is related to Carmine in some way shape or form (which I think is a relatively popular headcanon? given that they look the same? but also im gonna mention) Ofc this is headcanon but also its a fun idea to think about (at least, to me))
Takes 8 years after the events of PLvsPWaa- after the events of Unwound Future (England still has some damage from the aftermath from the events of Unwound Future, but most of it has been repaired) and Barnham has moved out of Labryinthia and now works in a Bakery in London. One day he runs into Carmine, who was (of course) taking on a case (just like his great grand peepaw (of some somewhat distant relation) Herlock Sholmes) and of course, Barnham has no fucking idea who this guy is. He didn't really have an upbringing with knowing history and the impacts that Herlock Sholmes has made in British history, and he certainly doesn't know this eccentric detective who is suddenly taking a liking to him.
HOWEVER, Carmine recognizes him from the very short time he was in Labryinthia- he spotted Barnham briefly while in the town, but he didn't actually get to know him. Being a descendent of Herlock Sholmes, he's naturally curious about who the hell this guy is who he somehow recognizes for some reason (mostly due to his incredibly orange hair which is very hard to forget) and therefore is incredibly annoying towards him (because of course he is- he's a Herlock relative). They get to know each other and eventually fall in love, while both going on crazy adventures and Barnham being a baker in the meanwhile. Very wholesome!
Ive been creating and thinking of designs for them (and the AU in general) (mostly because I want to have them on my artfight profile for artfight cause I always love a good quality drawing of Zach Barn and Carmine). Im giving them both wings because it looks cool as fuck and wings are cool. Idk if I'll change the AU name eventually (cause its kinda a mix bag of things) but Im having fun with it but! Yeah! I hope you enjoy my quirky lil au that Ive been rotating in my brain a normal amount.
