Okay, I found your poe! AU today, which looks super super interesting, and started looking through your blog. There was an ask response. I have potential theories about Raph based on your wording there... (Or I'm reading entirely too much into it)
You specifically said Raph was dead in Eden. In Eden specifically, not the au itself. There are references to Leo having digital hallucinations, and he talks about living in a made up worlds. I'm thinking they may be in a matrix situation, and someone removed Raph and Draxum for causing issues. There was no body. Like an avatar removed from a video game, or one intentionally taken as a cover up.
So Raph and Draxum may be alive in the real world, held prisoner. Or maybe someone killed them there
:(
Writing this actually made me wonder if the simulation may be something created by Bishop or someone else as a way to contain mutants. They give them normal lives that are perfect, so they never try to exist in reality.
Or everyone is stuck there and maybe they're sucking out their energy or smth.
If you can say without spoiling things you want to reveal later, did I get anything right, or am I entirely off the mark?
Regardless, I'm intrigued and excited to see where this goes!!!!
You have some really interesting theories here :)
I won't say anything for now, but I like where you're going with this, it's some cool thoughts!
