Ashleigha and Izabella Discworld Au

@tilnavann

So, this idea isn't fully developed yet, but I've been rotating a Discworld au in my head for a while. These are just the broad ideas I have right now.

Ashleigha, Izabella, and Zavier grew up in Ankh-Morpork.

Ashleigha joined the city watch mostly because she has a crush on Carrot.

Zavier is killed by Carcer.

Izabella founds the Guild of Unusual Plants and Peculiar Substances.

Any au ideas for Belladonna/Obsession?

Other than the role swap au we talked about, the main au that I'm working on is a Discworld au where Belladonna starts a guild that legally sells drugs and Obsession is a member of the watch and has a crush on Carrot.

Thanks for the ask!

"What... rich?" Eyebrows raised as she studied the infamous journalist. She'd barely heard of the senior de Worde. That was out of her tax bracket.

"Yeah that'd be pretty gross of you."

Do you need something carried in Ankh-Morpork? From Ankh to Morpork, back the other way, up or down, upside-down? Without the Guilds, Gatekeepers or anyone else getting their hands on it?

Then you need ... Spurious Couriers.

Or rather the spurious courier, who might put herself forward as the face of a company, but is really much closer to a sole trader.

Thera Landsend believes she might have been born somewhere in the Ramtops, but her earliest memories are of living in Pseudopolis and later ones in Quirm. She spent some time at the Quirm College for Young Ladies, following in her mother's footsteps. While there she was a favourite of the PE teacher 'Iron Lily', and part of a not-a-coven-we-just-read-books-and-run-about-in-circles group that almost burned down the chemistry lab twice.

Unfortunately, it seems that Thera's father had been financing her education via the time-honoured business practices of embezzlement and industrial espionage. Some might readily blame her mother's influence, but the truth is he went along with it all quite willingly; looking after one's family, he felt, should be a man's priority, and he took that very much to heart.

The Quirm constabulary, however, took it very much another way, 'looking after his family' meant getting the hell out of town, and they relocated to Ankh-Morpork.

Which left Thera as a WIP - Witch In Passing - still at a young age in a part of the city that was safe to hide out in - but only because nobody wanted to look.

It was a few years afterward, learning the streets of the city and the dynamics at play among the Guilds and politicians, that she struck on the idea of running a delivery service; messages, parcels, anything small enough or secret enough that it had to get there without anyone being the wiser. The lesson she took from her father and her own observations was that not everything illegal was bad, and not everything legal was good.

Thera picks her jobs, takes payment in advance, and once her word is given she will get that message through to the recipient come hell or high ... whatever that sludge is pretending to be a river. Gaining her agreement might take some persuading, but Spurious Couriers will get the job done.

Bear with me while I Discworld AU for a min.

What if Agnes Nitt met Vimes after/during the events of Maskerade. What if she stayed in the city and Vimes and Sybil accidentally became her mentors of sorts.

Sybil met Agnes while she was singing and the two hit it off and before she knew it Agnes was volunteering at the Sunshine Sanctuary. And after spending enough time with such a huge personality as the Duchess of Ankh Lady Sybil Ramkin, Agnes didn't hear Perdita hardly at all anymore.

A popular theory is that Vimes is a witch and AM is his patch. He would be perfect to accidentally become Agnes's mentor without either of them realizing what was happening. So Agnes became a witch after all, in a kind of... well let's say Agnes is to witches what the Nac Mac feegle are to fairies.

I don't quite know how to articulate this idea any better, but it is currently rotating in my brain like a rotisserie chicken.

Dreamling Discworld AU

Bingo Fill Square C3 - Free Space: Discworld AU Rating: G Ship: Dreamling Summary: a scene from Terry Prattchet's Guards! Guards!, reimagined with Sandman characters

drawn for the @dreamlingbingo 2024

Commander of the City Watch, Hob Gadling, almost lets himself be tempted to act against his morals and let one tyrant kill another- almost. 😉❤️ (I'm sorry to all the people who don't know the book, this might be confusing. Everyone else, I hope you see my vision 💜)

here's the other discworld AU art I've drawn this summer: link

I cannot stop thinking about a Dreamling Discworld AU

[nevertheless-moving]

Scene From My Nightwatch AU: (Premise) & (AU Vimes Vetinari Meta) ... Vimes, chained to a wall in a guest room in castle uberwald: alright, go on. Say it. Vetinari: say what? Vimes: I don't know. I'd definitely have a comment if the situation was reversed. Vetinari: any remark I could make here is beneath our dignity. Vimes: ugh, you're insufferable. Vetinari: I did think you came off suspiciously well in that foolish 'game.' Vimes: Ha! Wrong! I knew you would think werewolves! Gods, I love when your wrong. Vetinari: quite. but you did chain yourself? Vimes: ...hrmph Vetinari: may I be so bold as to inquire why? Vimes: ...I think I've been possessed by a vengeance spirit. Vetinari: Vetinari: another one? Vimes: what? Vetinari: hm? Vimes: I hate you. Vetinari: you've mentioned. I assume you'd like my aid? Vimes: only if you don't want me to kill myself Vetinari: I similarly assume you don't want downy to fund out Vimes: only if you don't want me to - Vetinari: yes, yes. You do know our words impact our perception of ourselves - Vimes (mocking tone): your words impact my perception of ourselves Vetinari: Vimes: Vimes: whatever you win this round and all that, anyway - you still got that wizard on retainer? Vetinari: Wizards don't work on retainer. You're referring I assume — Vimes: are you still in contact with that wizard that didn't try and kidnap me Vetinari: he was genuinely uninvolved with — Vimes: I know, I just said the one that didn't try and kidnap me Vetinari: he refuses to work with you. Something about being 'a load bearing support beam to the universe' and a 'do not disturb sign' on your 'psychotemporal signature' Vimes: right, right Vetinari: Vimes: Vetinari: ...you're really not doing well, are you? Vimes: don't look so concerned. Universe won't actually break if I die. We're apparently out of the 'danger period', so. It's fine, alright? Vetinari:
