your kromer au sounds banger let me hear the lore!!! (i dont follow u but i saw ur post on my dash and thot it was epic)
OKAY WELL... That's a long story so it'll be under the cut!
While the K corp staff came to save Dante and the sinners, some of the HP bullets leaked out of a misfire onto Kromer, giving her partial healing and stabilization... We know the bullets are more about turning things back to how they were instead of healing, but it was not enough to turn Kromer to how she was before Demian tried to kill her. It only healed her open wounds and regenerated just a bit of her lower body.
K corp security kinda sweeped a whole lot of the dead N corp inquisitors that were killed by the sinners and piled them upon a trash pile somewhere. Including Kromer because looking at how she looked like everyone would assume she's dead.
AND HERE COMES THE CRINGE- I and my partner have that one OC fixer office, but they don't really have any designs or anything yet so you can just pretend it's a random fixer office. The thing is they got a job to secure the N corp corpses, cause I'm sure some people would just. Steal that.
But then they saw Kromer and realized she's still alive, and since she looked in such a bad condition- literally not having any limbs, with blood everywhere, they kinda decided to save her life and take her to their office. They were actually working on some cool prosthetics before, so they kind of, got them on Kromer without her consent. Additional info is that they didn't even know it's The One Who Grips because she looked so different...
So then Kromer woke up with prosthetics and you can tell she was not happy. She lost everything and became the sheer thing she promised to destroy. But this leads to a redemption arc... I feel like at some point, she'd just accept that prosthetics aren't that bad when they're used to making your life better. She'd regret what she did and all... Maybe even Kromer would want to apologize to Sinclair and be friends with him again, just how they were friends when they were kids minus manipulation...
I also have some lore about how she met Aida in this AU since they're girlfriends there, but it's not much in depth. Basically they met in a bar when Kromer was depressed cause of all that stuff with having prosthetics- They hooked up, hook ups became frequent, then they realized they're in love with each other and started dating... And after some years they became parents to a baby girl named Winter :3 (Kromer isn't the best mother but she tries her best)
SO YEAH THAT'S THE KROMER LORE IN THIS AU I LOVE HER
