Mortal Kombat Self-aware au
This post is part of a larger post I have on my blog about how cool Self Aware Au is. It includes a couple Mortal Kombat fic recs and other fandoms such as; overwatch, Linked Unviese and Love and Deepspace. In that post, I mention ideas I have for my own fics and this is the post!
warning: this idea is at the very beginning of the process. so the little scenes include are a very rough draft. Be kind and enjoy!
Mortal kombat 9 (?)(I haven't got the settling locked in, all i have are ideas, yikes)
Pairing: lord raiden x reader
Idea:
This idea of a plot starts in Mortal Kombat 9 or 10. idk, someone help. Where during a moment, Lord Raiden just becomes aware of the reader.
At first, he will be distrusting, but soon he'll conclude since the elder gods don't sense reader. that they must be someone more powerful, greater than the elder gods. Lord Raiden then turns to the reader for guidance. So the plot follows as the reader keeps playing. Unsure of what else to do, but now having to be more mindful of what they say as Lord Raiden can hear everything.
Funny moments ensure, of course. As reader is a simp. like me!
Now this idea splits, with option 1) either reader getting pulled a year before Mortal kombat 11 due to kronika (or some other reason, idk) and finally getting cute moments with Lord Raiden. Then going through with the events of that game. Ending with Liu Kang creating a reader to exist in mortal combat 1. But something is off with this reader. They somehow seem to know more than they should. mmm?
Or
2) you don't go into the game, you simply finishing it. it'll clash and you'll be unable to talk to Lord Raiden. as the plot will move onto Mortal kombat 1. Where during playing it, Lord liu kang is the self-aware god and thus repeating the cycle again. where Liu kang makes comments of how his Lord Raiden reacts and understands the comfort of having reader watch over. While reader is wondering if they can ever play Mortal Kombat like a normal person. this one can be ansgty especially during the part where liu kang meets with the other titans. allow reader and raiden to have a moment, possibly a proper goodbye?
Not sure which path to follow but here's rough wip, (also could you imagine Old man Lord Raiden finding a way to connect to your internet via you consular and sending you 'I need to consult with you' lmao)
Scene:
“I will consutl with the elder gods” lord Raiden nod towards liu kang and koa Lang.
“You better not come to me. Or I swear.” you mumble as you watch the scene play. With a flash of blue, the cut scene fades to the load screen. The icon spinning In the corner only to soon adjust to the sky temple with raiden walking towards the screen.
“y/n-”
“ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!” you groan in annoyance cutting off Raiden's approach.
“I apologise. I'm aware you already gave me a warning-”
“I can't keep telling you answers, dude!”
“y/n…”
“*rant*” (yes rant, this is a rough wip, besties. idk the dialogue yet)
“Please.”
You pause as you turn to the screen. With a deep sigh you approach closer, standing face to face with Lord Raiden. With a heavy sigh, you drop your head as you give in.
“Okay, *gives answer.*” (pls don't judge me)
“Thank you, y/n.” Lord raiden sincerely thanked. Bowing to show his gratitude. Why is he so freaking cute?!
“Ugh! Puppy eyes and cute butt, how can I say no to that?” You ask yourself aloud, turning to sit on the couch again. Just in time to see Raiden glance at the screen before it cuts to the lording screen again.
With a panic squeal, you hide your face behind your hands. Mortified by the fact that Lord Raiden heard you loudly simp for him… again.
Mortal kombat 1
Paring: smoke x reader
Idea:
This idea is when replaying story mode or during a simple 1v1 , a character becomes aware. But the idea was to have Smoke become aware and then have some lovely bonding moments. With you on the couch and him on the screen.
But then, somehow, you fall into the world of Mortal Kombat but strangely everything is at the start of story mode. Luckily, Tomas is still aware of the events and who you are. Thus he becomes determined to stop Bi-han from betraying him and Kaui Lang or at the very least, catching bi-han off guard and preventing him from escaping. All the while you are going with the flow and taking pictures like Johnny did lol
But the more I thought about this, the more interesting it'll be if it was a villain who got the chance to start over. Such as Shang Tusng or Bi-Han. How would they react to this information? How would Reader react to them! Would you try to lead them into the light or join them with a classy, ‘I don't want to fix you, let's be crazy together :)’
This idea is very fresh. Nothing is set in stone. So enjoy this very quick blur that I just made up on the spot, yikes.
I'm also writing a headcanon blur of the cast becoming Self-aware to help picking who to write about. Will be linked once finished and posted.
Note: I don't own the game so if any description of the game is wrong, please be kind in correcting me.
Scene:
“SPIN!SPIN!SPIN!” you eagerly chant as you look at the character page. Tomas is standing with his hands on his hips, giving off the perfect ‘disappointed mum'posse you ever saw. Scratch that, he's giving the almost perfect disappointed mum pose.
As the half smile and barely contain chuckles give away his enjoyment. Who knew a member of the shirui rui likes to be pamper and drawn over?
Well, itz job you'll do gladly and proudly!
“Please! Please! Please!” You stress as you inch closer to the screen. You can't spin the character anymore, With Tomas gainning control. Leaving you stuck to pursawy him to give you a view of the new outfit you unlock.
In a stand still, you do your best to give Tomas your adorable puppy dog eyes. Surely He break right?
With a sigh, Tomas shakes his head as he slowly spins in the spot. With as little enthusiasm as he can must as he again contains his chuckles.
While you shamelessly scream out your praise.
“LETS FUCKIN GO! WOOO!”
