Summary: Where everything went downhill when you stepped in the city.
A/N: This came along re2 and re4 :)) Aaand I made him like a big jerk hihi, lets just follow my silly plot, mwah mwah.
(ALSO A LITTLE ANNOUNCEMNT ABOUT THAT GENSHIN WRTING I DID, I'LL PROMISE TO DO IT NEXT MONTH)
In his dark world there was you. All loveable and cheerful, only dating for a couple of months and he was sure seeing his future. He was happy when you agreed to come with him to Racoon City.
One step on the city, chaos disrupted.
An Outbreak.
Both of you met Claire a long the way and got separated. As you and Leon now trying to find a way out of the police station. Many things have happened from being chased and so on and so forth.
And that's when you both got separated, he met the Ada Wong the disguised mercenary. The woman he suddenly grew attached when you were only gone for an hour or so.
When you guys finally regrouped you wondered. "Hey, who's this woman you met?" you asked, he was still and a small blush appeared on his face. "She helped me when we got separated. Her name's Ada Wong an FBI" The way he talked about her was laced with something you couldnt grasp on.
Now being in a group of 3, you noticed the way he would help her instead of you, he would look at her with something other than worry in his eyes, and she felt it too.
....
You should've never woke up or even slept when he told you to rest when the three of you got in the train. Was it worth it? You should've stayed in your nightmares if you were only greeted with your one boyfriend kissing another.
Yet you stayed silent. Watching the scene unfold as you closed your eyes hoping it was a dream, but it wasn't. Was the world really this unkind to you?
-
Everything was a blur, you're hurt. A pole pierced in your stomach, as you watched Leon save Ada who was falling after being shot. Was he just gonna hold onto her and leave you?
And. she slipped.
And the whole building crumbled. And you were buried in those layers of cement and other kinds of heavy stuff.
You thought it was the end.
so how come you're found alive?
Somehow still breathing and able to move? Yet more flexible, faster, and stronger. Who could've done this to you?
Until a man walked inside the room.
"I see you're awake, took you almost 5 months to get up." A sigh escaped the strangers lips.
You look up to see a blonde man, wearing sun glasses as he looked at you with an very different eye color you haven't seen before, crimson.
"Who are you...?" You whispered, moving back and hitting the wall as the monitor beside you picked up and your heart beating faster, and faster.
"Do you really want to know?" He chuckled with amusement.
"You're the only one who managed to live throughout my experiment, sadly Wong died. Such as shame." He shook his head and looked away.
"But it doesn't matter now. What matters is that you, now work for me." He walked closer, and seeing him up close he looked more intimidating and scary.
"Are you up for it?"
You took a moment to take everything. You've been out for 5 months?! That Ada Wong died. And now you're an experiment working for an unknown man! But what were the odds, at least she was alive. And her eyes lit up.
He's still alive, he has to be.
Leon Kennedy
"As if I have a choice." You answered. "Alright." You looked at the man with somehow an interested look.
The man seemed to be shocked. "You're interesting, maybe I will keep you." He muttered.
The one thing only kept coming back in your head. The same man who left you to die for someone who was already dead.
For now, you pray you'll meet up in the future to let him see what he'd done to you.
LOCK, SHOCK, AND BARREL AU OVERVIEW IS FINALLY HERE!!
Please welcome my au, make sure to follow the fic that will soon be posted for their story :)
(Original designs by me, art drawn by my beloved mutual @runrabitrunrun-thecringeremake ❤️)
Much like other people, I looked at the trio and decided they needed more story. I had previously done this on an old social media account, however that account is deleted along with all of my work. As I have come back into the fandom, I have reworked my au heavily and am happy to bring it back into light!
This au is a future telling of Lock, Shock, and Barrel from The Nightmare Before Christmas. These characters meant a lot to me when I was younger (especially Barrel) and I have loved to bring this au back to life. It is canon in the movie that the trio are 6 (Barrel), 7 (Lock), and 8 (Shock). I use Lock as an age marker, since he is the middle ground, so when I reference an age, know that Barrel is a year younger, and Shock is a year older. This au starts when Lock is 19, spanning until he is 25! This is essentially a future characterization of the trio that I have based off of their personalities from the movie and the game Oogie’s Revenge. (And Slightly Zero’s Journey) This au states their pasts, personalities, dynamics, and their future! Though some things have not been revealed, and will not be revealed until my my fic is posted (Twofacedlady on ao3). More information will come as chapters for that are posted.

Lore
Families:
Lock was taken from his family when he was 3, he was his parent's only child and they were devastated when he went missing. Lock cannot remember his family, as he sustained head trauma shortly after he was taken. Boogie (evidence from the movie and game) Was the rudest to Lock. Lock never sees others of his species and knows very little about himself and his species. All he knows are his instincts and the things he hears about imps from other people (which is very little, as you don't often see imps around.) He eventually sees his parents again, learning more and more about himself every day. Though he did choose to continue living with the trio in the treehouse, visiting his parents every so often.
Shock was taken from her coven/parents when she was 4. Her mother was apart of a coven, and fell in love with a human man. Her father and mother loved each other dearly, and Shock was raised half by them and half by the coven. After she was stolen by boogie, her parents were devastated. Her mother left her father to go look for her, while her father turned to his own human resources to find her. Shock was the second most affected by the childhood they went through, but she is replacing that fear with determination as she strives for freedom and self expression.
Barrel was taken when he was 2, he had 2 older brothers and a younger sister, along with his parents. His parents looked high and low for him, and are still searching for him to this day, moving from place to place in hopes of finding him again. He knows where they are, as he is very technical and knows how to find things that don't want to be found through the internet, however he cares about Shock and Lock too much to leave. He decided that they are better off without him, and that Shock and Lock need him more than they do. Least affected by boogie half because he was too young to retain many memories, and half because he made a promise that he would protect his friends. Barrel will stop at nothing to protect them as they did when he was too helpless to protect himself.
Other
As they got older, Lock began to develop feelings for Barrel, despite his un-wanting for said feelings. Barrel had brought a few partners to the treehouse throughout the years and was never in anything long lasting, but Lock was afraid that the dynamic for their group would change. He didn't know Barrel's exact feelings about him, but he was too afraid to find out for many years. He started liking Barrel at around the age of 15. Fell first, but Barrel fell harder <3
Barrel started to develop feelings for Lock when he was around 16, but had never seen Lock bring anyone around and assumed he wasn't looking for that kind of thing. He had no issue with his feelings for Lock, seeing no shame in loving someone you've known your whole life, but thought Lock would never see him romantically. Essentially a very “take what I can get" type of person, enjoying Lock's company, though his feelings got stronger as they came into adulthood. He had moments where he would get down, wishing he could have Lock even for a moment, but he is a very patient soul.
Shock always wanted a girlfriend but could never find someone that suited her personality, let alone someone she felt like she could bring around Lock and Barrel without said person being afraid or her brothers hating them. She was also quite afraid that Lock especially wouldn't like whichever girl she decided to bring around. Shock later on while in the square by herself while Lock and Barrel were out playing around, she meets the Mayor's estranged daughter, Mabel, coming to live with him while her mother is sick. She is a child of divorce and not very fond of her dad, but struggles with emotions and her dad stifling her. Shock teaches her what freedom feels like, and Mabel teaches her how to process emotions.
Eventually Shock finds out that Lock is her familiar, sparking a moment of understanding between them, and Shock became a better sister to Lock after realising that she had said many hurtful things to him without ever knowing that they hurt him. He started being less of a hindrance to her, and they had a moment of mutual understanding that allowed them to be better friends, and even better siblings (though they never stopped throwing hands lol). (Now Lock, as her familiar, has to come with her sometimes to help her with her studies and craft, much to his distaste.) Barrel and Shock are still great friends, and even better siblings, and he's like a chill little brother to her.
The trio enjoys pranking people, going to festivals, smoking together, playing multiplayer games, trick or treating (though Lock has no interest in candy considering he can't taste sugar), tormenting the Mayor, and Lock and Shock enjoy fighting. Lock and Shock are around equal strength, and typically tire each other out before either actually gets hurt. Barrel has come to a point in his life where he has grown to ignore their fights, typically playing a game on his phone or listening to music while they battle it out. Their pranks are quite dangerous, and one must be prepared before going into their house lest they step into a beartrap or a preexisting fight happening. Their most memorable prank was the graffiti they spray painted all over the town in bright pink, sending the citizens of Halloween town into anguish. Jack never did prove it was them, but he knew deep down.

I wasn't right for you and you weren't right for me
You were the sun and I was the moon
I was too much and you weren't enough
But in another life, you and I were right. I don't want it to be this life, this time, nor this place. Maybe I don't want it to be you. But it could have been us, had it not been you and it not been me.
