OKAY I know I usually post on saturdays but like I got a little too excited to share this so here we are. 

This is a concept of Kira in her Hunter disguise for my MalVa AU : O

SkekMal gives Kira a knife and UrVa has to deal with it

DFGHJ I WAS PLANNING ON DRAWING THAT.

He just sees her with this giant ass knife and skekMal takes it away from her. At first urVa thought he was going to properly scold her, but then sees skekMal giving her a smaller knife that’d be better for her to grip and shows her how to hold it the right way for effective killing. 

UrVa just has this face:

I feel ya when it comes to just having a bad month. I've been on the same boat :/ Hopefully this will be a good distraction :) I love your AU about Skemal and Urva raising Kira. Got anything more about this AU? :)

This is my birthday month it’s supposed to be great, damn it. And I’m sorry to hear you’re having a shitty month too. I hope it gets better for you! And thank you so much. I’m so bad at balancing out my projects. I’m still working on this one! Here’s some new ideas for the AU:

I changed a bit about how Kira eventually meets skekMal. UrVa gets very sick (which Kira eventually finds out it came from an infected wound Mal got during his hunts). Her healing powers aren’t powerful enough to treat severe infections like that so she’s been relying on herbs she ran out. They’re only grown in parts of the forest outside of their home. Normally urVa would gather them himself, but Kira  was getting worried about his condition and didn’t want to wait for him to get better. So she ventured outside of their glen (or grove: still debating on this), something she’s normally forbidden to do. The rest of the scenario is still the same.

The scar on Kira’s face came from a Garthim she was forced to fight by skekMal. It was his way of trying to get her to face and conquer her fears (father of the year, this one). She did manage to kill it and she wears a piece of it on her person as her trophy. But as you can imagine, she wasn’t okay after that. (And you bet urVa was angry at skekMal over this).

How do you think Jen's quest in the movie would have gone if the Archer were still alive?

That’s a good question I’m still thinking about how everything will go down. 

I don’t think it would be any easier, but at least some parts of the journey would be safer. In my AU, urSu advised Jen to go to urVa first before heading to Aughra’s Hill so the Archer would safely guide him there with Kira tagging along. Aside from the Garthim and Crystal Bats, they’ll be darkened creatures and other obstacles that they’ll have to deal with. And at some point, Jen and Kira get separated from urVa.

I’ve also played around with the idea of skekSil coercing skekMal to hunt down Jen. But in this version skekMal’s more on the fence about unification after spending time with urVa and Kira. I think he does go after Jen at first (probably out of fear of the unknown with what unification would bring), but ends up helping him towards the end whether or not urVa gets involved in that.

SkekMal probably sneaks Kira jerky every once in a while. She's a growing girl! She can't live off of whatever vegetarian nonsense UrVa is giving her!

I feel like it would take a while for urVa to come around to the idea of Kira eating meat, but he’s still against her eating it raw. SkekMal still doesn’t understand why it’s a big deal.

Oh yeah I was considering their ages coming into play as well but I’m still not sure when both Jen and Kira were born? The main AOR group are all in their twenties so even like ten years from then they decide to have kids I don’t think skekMal and urVa would age that so much that their physical or mental well being would decline rapidly. Considering, it’s nearly a thousand trine and skekMal looks like he’s still as good as he was when he was younger. And I’m sure it’s the same for urVa since he’s just as physically active.

But what I have been thinking is the two of them would have these kind of conversations the more they spend time together. Like what’s going to happen if they decide not to unify when the Great Conjunction comes? Maybe they are starting to notice their strength is waning. Is it their old age or is it because of the darkening in the environment? Both? I don’t think it’s drastic enough to cause alarm, but urVa starts bringing it up a lot. If they miss this chance to possibly become something greater than themselves, how much longer will they last? 

I’m sure skekMal would be in denial about their situation, saying he’ll live forever even if he has to fight for it. But over time, especially when he and urVa’s relationship improve, he starts thinking on it more hence the “on the fence” status I mentioned earlier.  Like what if they become something stronger together? The fear of death would definitely come into play, though, and be the major thing holding him back (and to be manipulated by skekSil).

Consider: urVa/skekMal/urGoh/skekGra tea party in your AU of mal and va raising kira. they take this time to discuss their kids, as parents do. (only question is who gra and goh are raising o.0)

That would be cute... if it weren’t for the fact Gra and Goh are dead at this point. : (
