THAT REVERSE AU OMG so are the personalities swapped in any way? or is it same characters, just different situations? (hhhhhhh also since duff has a kid, is the prophecy changed???)
hello!! thanks for the ask!!
mostly it’s a roleswap au. the personalities only change to fit the role better (im pretty sure canon! favianna would not convince her husband to murder, so)
the prophecy is changed a little, but not on duff’s end. sirrah, his son, takes the role of historical macbeth’s stepson, lulach, who doesn’t appear in the play. i just love the egg bapey too much for him to be invisible. the prophecy states that malcolm’s family will be king, so the immediate assumption is his brother will inherit. malcolm isn’t really phased by this—after all, prince consort doesn’t become king anyways.
