“Noelle's sprite stepped into view. ‘O- Oh...’ her sprite shivered. ‘Oh no... I- I'm so sorry, we didn't know- I'm so sorry-‘ She couldn't bring herself to stand before them, but she stared. She stared at the burnt body, how melted and tinged it was. She recognized her part in causing their pain and suffering.”

@wuyi1551 kinda gave me the idea of this with an au where Penny and Cinder end up as siblings. So... well... this was the result of my attempt.
“Can we keep her?”
Cinder nervously pulled her arm close to her chest, nearly shaking as she watched Penny’s father look her over. Her hand went to the collar around her neck as she tried to hide the scars and took a step back, ready to run. Her heart started to pound in her chest and her eyes darted around as she looked for the best way out.
“I’m not so sure,” Pietro said between coughs. “I have my hands full running the clinic and we need to make our way to Atlas again-”
Cinder winced as she felt Penny pull her close, arms almost crush her in a hug.
“She does not have anywhere else to go,” Penny said. “And her last home was not a nice place. She needs a new home and she could be my sister.”
Cinder froze at what Penny had said, her heart pounding harder in her chest. A sister? A family? Someone who actually wanted her and not just use her? She looked down at the ground and finally spoke, her voice quiet. “I’ll be useful.”
Pietro sighed and motioned for the two to come in. “We’ll figure things out. Now, lets get you a hot meal.”
“Penny, wait up!” Cinder called out as she chased after Penny through the streets of Mantle. A smile crossed her lips as she jumped over trash cans and maneuvered around the streets without a care. “We need to get back home and train!”
“We are training!” Penny called out as she flew in the air, landing in the street as she readied herself to fight a few grimm. “You’re still looking to get into Atlas, right? This is the best way we can!”
“Arent we going to get into trouble?”
“We will be fine as long as no one catches us!”
Cinder rolled her eyes and grabbed her swords from her hips and slammed them into a sabyr that ran through the street. She hated when her sister ran off like this, but she knew that she had a point. With only a couple more years to go before she could apply to Atlas, she needed all the training she could get. She stopped in her tracks as she watched Penny use her blades to start toying with the grimm, her sister expertly weaving the dust-enhanced blades around the grimm until she could dispose of them. Her eyes widened and she started to rush as she watched a larger grimm come rushing towards her. “Penny! Watch out!”
Penny turned and brought her blades to protect her from the oncoming grimm.
Cinder stopped and dropped her blades as she watched Elm stop the megoliath in its tracks, her heart stopping as she watched the other Ace-ops start to make their way through the streets to take on the grimm. A chill went down her spine as she felt a hand grip her shoulder as a familiar voice calmly spoke to her.
“You know the drill, Cinder.”
Cinder slowly turned her head to look at Clover out of the corner of her eye and then sighed. “I… take responsibility for this one. Leave Penny out of it.”
Clover sighed and held his scroll out to Cinder. “After the videos that were taken, I cant do that. General Ironwood needs to speak to both of you when you get back to Atlas.”
Cinder nodded and turned to look at Penny as she watched Harriet cuff her and start walking her towards the airship. “Does dad have to know?”
“No, but I think you’re a bit too late on that too. But you know the rules: until you’re a huntress-”
“No weapons on Mantle streets without a license. I know.” Cinder looked down at the ground and took a breath as she tried to steady herself. “Lets get this over with.”
red vs blue au list (any could be altered - i've finish the shisno paradox trilogy but just haven't thought about anything past s15 yet lol)
evocation au - temple recovers church before s15 and is trying to recreate biff with him. church's memory is struggling and so the conflict is increased as the events of s15 carry out and are even warped with this new added twist. it is VERY chuckerboose-centric.
doomsday au - (started as a shitpost au and is still treated like one as a result, but has had some intense lore created for it to the point that i am invested in the plot beyond jokes. characters are most out of character in this one as a result.) essentially, something goes wrong with loco's time machine in the s15 finale and when the portal opens things go horrible wrong, and some kind of explosion goes off that transports tucker and caboose to another planet with no way of getting off or contacting the guys for the foreseeable future. the planet happens to be apocalyptic as hell and caboose swore he saw church before the blast rang out ... it is chuckerboose centric ... and, due to everything being so hectic, they call it planet doomsday.
downloaded au - delta was able to make a backup of himself during the freelancer saga, so why couldn't epsilon with the right hardware? essentially, caboose was paranoid of losing church again at some point in s13 before the latter half of the season. they find an old smartphone and decide to have caboose use his engineering skills to reinforce it and also give it ability to run on solar power - then, they make a backup of church into it. come the s13 finale, they happen to have church still! only...he is hardwired into a phone and they don't know how to get him out of it without damaging him and/or losing him. chuckerboose-centric. (and so it's a slight comedic au i got from the idea of church inhabiting a phone to send texts to tucker and caboose from inside.)
firewall au - extremely underdeveloped, but stemmed from the idea of felix in s13 being too fed up with hargrove that he plans to steal epsilon to use the meta suit for himself to kill the reds and blues all for his sadistic gain. maybe even threaten hargrove while he's at it and get his reward anyway. of course, this alters a lot of the latter half of s13 around. in this au, felix lives his fall and continues to affect the plot later on. chuckerboose and lolix are the focused ships of the au.
lighthouse au - maine survives after the s8 finale and somehow, with the help of washington and the reds and blues, finds himself with the blues alongside his former freelancer friend. it is mainewash-centric (of course, chuckerboose is there, though) and spends the earlier parts of the au following maine as he recovers from everything that went on as well as him trying to be himself again. by the time we reach s10, i imagine he has a wavering self control when it comes to epsilon that is focused on, but all in all, this au has mostly good endings and maine somehow makes things 100 times better by being there. church lives. what more could you want
memory au - it's the good ending to evocation, which is also my main "church lives" au. chuckerboose-centric as a result, but the concept is that everything from their adventures settles down and the reds and blues try to readjust to living on a colonized planet (either earth or something resembling it). there are some more trials and tribulations and such in this au, but as promised, it is a good ending and by the end of it, everyone lives happy domestic lives nearby each other and they remain friends. ("memory ending" is used to describe scenes from the end of the au that are completely domestic with none of the au's ongoing plot involved.)
Alternate Izuku AU, Firewall; An AU where Izuku's Quirk, which comes out finally a year afterwards allows him to absorb flames, heat, and energy like sponge while converting the absorbed material into nutrients for the body. It is an always active quirk and due to the effects of his quirk his body, after exposure, is in peek physical condition though this is primarily due to Bakugo's HE spam. It is later discovered with training that Izuku can release the stored energy, this is discovered in the big match when Izuku uses he quirk to heat up his body to melt through the ice Todoroki created, Shouto loses the match whe he us knocked out by Izuku.
Izuku does not receive OFA and instead All Might winds up watching Kirishima use his quirk to save someone from a car after the brakes failed, this results in Yagi choosing Kirishima as his successor.
Izuku does well in the Exam but fails to meet the standards of the Hero Course by one single point, so off the fire sponge goes to Gen Ed and so begins his journey to be a hero.
- Izuku was not diagnosed as quirkless, though the doctor could not determine what his quirk actually was.
- so he goes a good amount of time not knowing.
- it wasn't until after Katsuki starts using his quirk on Izuku that the boy realizes what his quirk is.
- heat absorbtion, a quirk which allows Izuku to stockpile heat and fire in his body and convert it into energy, enhance his bodies capibility, create massive blasts of heat waves, or create walls of condensed heat.
- though most of it's abilities isnt discovered untill later on.
- heat absorbtion collects it's stockpile in multiple ways.
- by fire or explosions making contact with Izuku.
- by being near large heat sources such as open flames.
- by wearing heated jackets or blankets.
- and by being out in direct sunlight.
- each one stockpiles a different amount of energy, contact with fire being the most and sunlight being the least.
- for awhile Izuku thought that he could only use his stock pile to heat up his body, that is until he is attacked by a sludge villain and heats up to such a high temperature that he releases a heat wave blast for the first time and is able to escape and run away.
- causing him to miss a chance meeting with All Might.
- Izuku then decides to train the extent of his quirk at the manicupal beach and simultaneously clean it.
- and though he trained his hardest for ten months discovering parts of his quirk he never thought possible, he still fails the entrance exam by a few points.
- but he does get into the UA general education course.
- and makes friends with the ever reclusive Shinsou Hitoshi and promise to become heros together.
- Izuku does defeat Todoroki in the sports festival but he does still help him use his full quirk(cause we love to see the healing!).
- not sure if he wins the sports festival but Aizawa see's both Izuku's and Hitoshi's potential and trains them.
I should do a rewrite of FireWall!SCC. Make it better. More concise. More of what my original thoughts for it were. Hm. Maybe I’ll work on that after I finish Musical Nerds.
