📖 another reverse AU! rat is the king! all the other chars are up to your discretion!
//At first I thought this would be a simple “Junkenstein won!” AU but I see it differently now. He was born into royalty and raised to be prim and proper but Jamison just... Can not rid himself the idea that this is not quite the life he wants. He was made for something more- but how do you tell others you want to be more than a king without them thinking you want to be a damn god? You can’t really.
Yearning for more, King Jamison Junkenstein (I am keeping his last name dammit) goes about life as he is expected to until he hears talk of someone who has great promise in various scientific fields and thus summons them to meet him.
Unlike Lord Reinhardt from Junkenstein’s main world, King Junkenstein is enthralled! He loves this. He wants more. He needs to understand this and demands more. More, more, more!
It’s this unyielding pressure for more that has the scientist snap. Making them feel like nothing they do is ever enough and they are exhausted. They need rest. They need more time to get accurate results. Sure it was nice in the beginning that the King took interest and was funding their research but he never stops pressuring and craving even more that they just feel like they are being treated as a windup doll, expected to preform at Junkenstein’s every whim, and wonder if he even sees or understands that these sort of things need time. Time for prepping, time to produce results, time to retest, time to REST.
The reason I keep saying they/them for the scientist is because I am torn on who it could be. Moira would be a delightful choice and allow for Moircy if Angela is still the Witch but if Angela were the scientist then she could be offered help by Banshee Moira. This would be fun and a little bit of an added twist.
Though who would be their monster? Maybe Slasher 76.
However having the scientist be Winston (The human) would be delightful because then he could create Hammond who would be an impish monstrosity based around his scarecrow design!
King Junkenstein’s Wanderers would most likely be Roadhog, Doomfist,
Zarya, and Lúcio. Roadhog really being a possible love interest of his but in secret and rising up to the call- without being ordered to. He’s just ready to bash in anyone’s skull for messing with Jamie.
But uh, this is just what came to mind at least. ^.^;;
