William and Sly AU: there's also flying islands. This is annoying at times for Hiro because he has to climb up prickly pine trees to REACH some of these islands. Why is there a bridge from a place that can only be reached with flight anyway. And then there's the times he falls and has to climb ALL THE WAY BACK UP.
I bet he was REALLY happy once he got those wings and could avoid that mess.
Maybe he makes a point to ask Tadashi, in his own foxy way of course, to redo that wings spell in the future when he really needs to go out and collect things in all the random places. Because they are so freaking convenient, and for a magical elf like Tadashi, it should be a relatively simple spell, right?
(Baymod note: Sorry I added in a Read More because this one is a bit long)
William and Sly AU?
Elf Tadashi moves into a cabin in the wilderness, well away from most other people, to work on a magic related project, because the magic harmonics for the unfinished project would be really dangerous for humans.
He meets a sapient fox when he sneaks into the cabin and starts eating all Tadashi’s food. No, really.
Little guy’s food was being stolen by gnomes. Gnomes are small winged beings that hoard and hide mushrooms, and are actually the reason the place is mostly wilderness despite all the ruins; they chased everyone else out by playing merry magical HAVOC everywhere and stealing and hoarding everyone’s food.
Tadashi responds to that by setting up a system of runestones to get to a cave that he then blocks off, so it’s only accessible via the runestones. He also names the fox Hiro, because he’d had his name removed by a gnomish spell (really, really cruel). Hiro chirped nonstop all day and decided to do something in return for Tadashi: he gathered the fairyflies, small glowing magical insects, required for lighting runestones.
Runestones have a limited range; he needs 13, including the one in his house and the one in the cave, to get there.
And then one day, the runestones suddenly stop working. At first Tadashi thinks it’s just a standard fluctation, so he goes out to recalibrate the spell, and promptly gets ambushed by a darkling.
To a human or a sapient fox, darklings are harmless. To an elf or a fairyfly, darklings can be lethal.
Tadashi’s fine but he can’t head towards the runestones at all and the gnomes had worked together to block the other way out of the valley so he asks Hiro for help.
Hiro rushes out, first to collect everything useful in the non-runestoned side of the valley (that he can reach), then to try to reactivate the runestones, fairyflies swirling bound around him like captured flames while he searches the cave-ridden hills; the gnomes hid the caves with illusion spells, but they’re better against eyes than noses, and as a fox Hiro can sometimes sniff out the holes. Other times he just noses against walls and sees if his nose goes through.
All Tadashi can do is wait. And draw a magic map, hoping that Hiro will come back safe.
It works; not only does Hiro reactivate the runestones, but before each activation he thoroughly searched the area around each stone for darklings, and used the light magic charge from runestone activation to kill them.
He can’t keep the charge bound around him forever, though; there’s a reason it kills darklings. It burns. At first, it’s just a faint pleasant warm sensation, but it quickly builds.
The spell he uses to catch the charge gives out moments before he would, releasing the magic in a flash of sparkles and light; if he wants to make the woods safe again, he has to catch the darklings before the spell dissolves.
Hiro manages fourteen out of fifteen.
The darklings can’t hurt him; but they can eat the fairyflies surrounding him, and he needs five to activate each runestone. Thankfully they’re common.
He visits Tadashi after each runestone activated, checking on him, giving him edible mushrooms that he found (the ones he didn’t eat anyway) and even getting the magic map.
He finds a temple with a heavily enchanted dias, meditating on it to accept the spell and gaining temporary translucent feathery wings. He’s not a good flyer, he really just glides, but he can get to a LOT of bizarre places and no gnome stash is safe.
Eventually, he gets to the ominously unlocked storage cave.
Attempting to activate the runestone causes a giant snake monster to attack him, only to phrase clean through taking only the fairyflies.
It smells like darklings; someone’s made a darkling queen.
Hiro repeatedly activates the runestone, running into the semisolid snake again and again and again, dumping the white magic charge into it over and over, feeling to burn start to linger even as the thing drains the magic from the stone and local magic levels drop.
It bursts eventually, a cascade of sparkles, and Hiro barely has it in him to teleport all the way back. He collapses on Tadashi’s bed and has a well earnt sleep, unaware of the fact that the one darkling he missed is dividing.
Several months later, Tadashi’s been forced to make an invisible wall across the valley side, making that side of the valley only accessible via runestones; the gnomish wall is gone, it’s safe. His journal, containing his project notes goes missing; gnomes ripped it up and scattered it.
Tadashi made the mistake of trying to trade it for a spell. Namely, Dissolution.
Dissolution seals up openings with a weak but solid copy of the surrounding walls. The gnomes use it on their caves, but on the first one they seal, they forget to remove the keep out sign, allowing Tadashi to find out what the heck is going on. Tadashi can’t burst the spell, he’s too magical, but Hiro’s got weak enough innate magic that his running footsteps or him shoving his nose and forepaws against the dissolution wall is enough to break it.
Hiro goes out to find Tadashi’s journal.
He quickly finds: a bomb, lots of mushrooms, a few journal scrap, and an amhni, removed from the pole the gnomes would have put it on.
Given what happened at the last temple (he’d liked those wings), when he finds a small temple, he’s willing to ask the spirits inhabiting it what they want.
There’s an ohnem there; they speak in rhyme and riddles, and this one wants something. It’s actually trapped in several runestones, which are in turn trapped in rock. Blowing up the weak rock around each of the four runestones would free the ohnem of their wrongful imprisonment.
Hiro blows up the rock on the cliff edge stone, and keep searching.
He finds another temple; this one’s got another ohnem in it, and the riddle is about the amhni. They are supposed to form a rough diamond, with an amhni of each of the four elemental magic at each amhni pole.
Hiro also finds dragon statues; he can feel the fire magic trapped within, and he knows that if he lets the fairyflies following him free, he’ll be wreathed in flames, kept from burning by the dragon’s blessing.
And he finds chunks of inexplicable ice, with pixies frozen in them.
Then, near a cliff edge that he can’t climb, he finds another temple. The ohnem in this one claims, via riddles, that something froze their four pixies, but they’re still alive, and they ask for them to be freed.
Ohnems return their favours.
Hiro blows the runestones free; he can use them.
He sets each amhni on its pole; he can see things he wants or needs outlines in intangible sparkles that travel far enough away that finding dissolutions is now trivial.
He wreathes himself in flame, again and again, and sets the pixies free; the ohnem gives him pixie style flight.
It’s an interesting feeling, being able to, if you choose, find purchase on thin air.
Hiro finds journal scraps hidden in places that only true flight could find. He finds them in chests encased in rock (did the gnomes trap the ohnem? Why?) and frozen in magical ice.
By the time he returns to Tadashi, he’s almost gotten used to the feeling of leaping off of air or being wreathed in flame.
Tadashi reassembles the journal, unaware that Hiro read ALL OF IT, and the gnomes crown Hiro Mushroom King because they are not entirely stupid and risking getting Hiro angry as opposed to concerned was stupider than they were.

(Oooh, I’ve never played these games before, but now I’m intrigued. Especially with all the magic and spells and A FOX YESSSS
Oh, but what if the darklings were something like microbots? And the darkling queen was Yokai? Maybe the gnomes could be teeny little Yamas or something
But hey, if Tadashi’s an elf, at least he finally has an excuse for those big earts of his XD
AU where Hiro is a witch. The other Hamadas are not and they try to be supportive, but it's still weird to wake up and find out that Hiro's drawn anti anxiety geometric spells ALL OVER YOU while you slept. Or for him to request extremely specific and weird things for spells. At least they work and he keeps it to cheapish stuff?
Aunt Cass has an “absolutely NO animal bones” rule for what types of supplies she helps Hiro buy for spells or potions. She has more rules than just that of course, but that is one of the top 5. Meanwhile, Tadashi has a “no geometric spells in any place that cannot be covered by a long sleeved t-shirt and long pants” rule, thus preventing spells from being scribbled all over his face and hands and places people might see.
They really do try to be supportive though. Tadashi even tries to learn some simple every day spells from Hiro in order to better understand Hiro’s witchcraft. He completely sucked at it though, and when he managed to botch up even the simplest spell Hiro had, Hiro told Tadashi to just leave the magic and witchy things to him.
Aunt Cass on the other hand would LOVE to be able to do a little bit of magic and spells without needing Hiro. The little spell he did on the oven and has to renew every week or so that makes the flavor of whatever is baked inside absolutely perfect is certainly a spell Cass wants to know. She wouldn’t mind becoming a kind of kitchen witch, with spells galore to help her run her cafe and keep pastries baking smoothly.
Alas, only Hiro is a witch though. And thus the spells and scribbles and potions and weird ingredient requests that neither Tadashi nor Aunt Cass really understand persists.
Harry potter AU where Hiro goes to an American magic school. Baymax is his patronus. He decides that that MUST mean that he's allowed to work out how to get Baymax exempt from the no electrical technology wards. (It is surprisingly easy. They were made to handle vacuum tubes not microtransistors or whatever Baymax uses. And it can't alter stuff much, lightning spells! )
I can see some of the pureblood students thinking that Baymax is some sort of really weird ghost or spirit at first, especially the ones who haven’t interacted with the muggle world at all. They only get more confused when Hiro tries to explain what a robot is, and they end up thinking muggles are the magic ones if they’re able to create something like Baymax.
(Hiro sometimes wonders if Tadashi had been magic like him, but if he’d just decided to give up on the wizarding world in favour of the technological wonders of SFIT. He’s pretty sure he would have known if his brother was magical, but sometimes Baymax does something that should be far beyond his programming’s capabilities, and he can’t help but wonder)
Baymax becomes something of an unofficial mascot for the school. The first years love him because he’s so comforting and soothing, while the upper years find him fascinating to watch and study. Hiro takes to wandering around the school with Baymax on breaks so that the robot can meet and talk to as many people as possible. It’s a learning opportunity for him after all
Lets start at their magic… Hiro and Tadashi’s mother is adept at Doll Attack magic but she was only able to teach, through the help of Cass’s Archive magic, “Doll Attack: Puppeteer” before she passed away from a fatal wound.
The Hamada Brothers’ father on the other hand is very masterful with Molding magic. Like molding the elements to whatever shape they want. With Cass’s help she was able to transfer his knowledge to his sons before he too passed away.
Before Passing away, Cass was able to take care of the brothers until Hiro was 14 and Tadashi was 19, and the brothers were taken to a magic healer who taught Tadashi healing magic.
Tadashi was able to make Baymax by combining “metal make”, “ice make” and “wood make” one after the other. With the help of “Doll Attack: Puppeteer.” Baymax was born.
Tadashi then prefers to use the healing magics he learned from their caretaker after Cass died
Hiro on the other hand, prefers to use Metal Make over the others and use Doll Attack: Puppetry to fight,
Both brothers are also able to use their molding magic during battle.
For The Story
A dark guild raided the Hamada household and managed to fatally wound the Hamada parents and poison Cass. In their last acts as parents, with the help of Cass, they were able to transfer whatever knowledge they have to the brothers. But mommy Hamada died before she could complete the process.
a decade has passed and Cass’s poison took effect and passed away. During the decade, Cass secretly passed her knowledge of Archive magic to the brothers.
An unknown magic healer taught Tadashi healing magic.
Hiro was a trouble maker during the decade so they coerced the brothers to join the dark guild.
Eventually Tadashi decimates the Fairy Tail members he encountered. He made use of Lucy’s Gemini and let it mimic him.
With the combination of his molding magic and his Baymax, Fairy Tail didn’t stand a chance.
Tho Tadashi left the group unconscious but Tadashi covered the bare bodies of Erza, Wendy and Lucy. while Gray, Natsu and Romeo were the only ones that were lucky because only their shirts were gone.
This way, he can get the help he needed.
Fairy Tail eventually rescues the Hamada brothers and inducts them to the guild.
PS… FAKE E.ADD SO DON’T QUESTION XD

(I’m sorry, I think I’m a bit confused. Which fairy tale is this based on?
But OH MY GOD, YOU KILLED AUNT CASS? AAAAAH HOW DARE NOOOOOOOO
Poor babies. Even with magic, they’re going to grow up messed up without her. Which is what I think is happening to Tadashi here? He became evil? I can’t imagine decimating people is a good thing after all. TADASHI NOOOOO)
A dragons AU... Tadashi is still Hiro's older brother. People kidnapped Tadashi in the hopes of luring Hiro in. Cue the Dragons with Hiro on top of the Alpha storming where Tadashi's held captive.
They took Tadashi when Hiro was younger because they were trying to figure out how he was able to use magic like a dragon without consequences. They would have taken Hiro too, but Tadashi managed to hide his little brother in a crate before they realized that he existed, and so they only took Tadashi.
But then, after Hiro becomes more well-known as the Boy Who Flies With Dragons (he totally rides around on Baymax’s back like all the time), the people who took Tadashi realize they have someone else they can experiment on. So they let it slip out that Tadashi’s alive, trusting their network to make sure that Hiro hears the rumor. And then they sit and wait for their prize to come to them.
(They may or may not also be the group hunting dragons. Depends on how complex we want this AU to get XD)
(1)Dragons AU but MAGIC- Baymax is a dif type- ethereal. Likeon another level of consciousness. Dragons could be godlike cratires, capable of magic and telekinesis. Some humans have attempted to master this magic, but it's very challenging.
Baymax is like a baby god tho- he gets magic but hes still silly. Hiro is shown to have a proclivity in magic as well, so Bay teaches him. All the dragons are protective of their Hiro tho, so he's kept safe.
Oh goodness, imagine Hiro’s an outcast in this world because only dragons are supposed to have magic, not humans. Those that have tried usually fail horribly and cause all sorts of chaos and destruction when they try, so now it’s considered taboo and inhuman to even possess it. But Baymax sees the potential in Hiro where other humans couldn’t, so he takes the young human in under his wing (literally)
And of course at first the other dragons think Baymax is crazy for taking in a human (well, they think he’s a bit weird in general, even before Hiro. Who’s ever heard of a gentle dragon?)
But Hiro is just so cute they can’t help but fall for him. And soon Hiro has a whole army of dragons willing to protect him, who have claimed him as their own.
(and then someone starts hunting dragons, and Hiro gets pissed. You do not mess with his family, not when they’ve taken such good care of him. He and Baymax set off to find the culprit and take. them. down.)
(JRPG AU Idea (Mainly the Tales of Series JRPG.) The Big Hero 6 are traveling throughout the world in the hopes that they can find Tadashi alive and stop the evil, dark Krei & Callaghan! Hiro operates as the typical magic swordsman who can use both offense & healing artes Baymax Focuses on Healing magic Gogo acts as the summoner/lightning bruiser Wasabi is the defensive warrior with high stats but low speed Fred is the basket case attacker/healer Honey Lemon is the mage/sorceress
All of those sound perfect. Also I can see Hiro starting out as a weeny little spellcaster with really low defense at first, so the whole team becomes very over-protective, taking hits for him because they know that if he gets attacked he’s basically screwed. This leads to Hiro soaking up all this EXP without trouble, so by the time they FINALLY start letting him fight on his own he’s a monster fighter.
They still catch themselves diving to block hits for him sometimes, especially Wasabi. They can’t help it! Force of habit! Luckily Baymax is there to always patch them up.
(And then, in typical JRPG fashion, it turns out Tadashi’s been brainwashed and mind controlled by the big bad darkness people. They have to fight him to protect the world, but the whole time they’re shouting at him, trying to remind him who he is and who they are. And it’s obviously all heart-wrenching and feels-tastic because stuff like that always is. And you know you love it :P)
