Supernatural mafia AU stuff: Auras tend to be either a, weird amorphic things, or b, humanoid. Colour varies and tends to be related to the mental state of a person, but what colour and shape goes with what emotions varies so much between people that you’d have to know them personally for years to be able to tell.

There’s a spell to make an aura tangible, like an extra limb or set of limbs, and the spell makes it so that changing the visibility and tangibility (not connected) of the aura is an at will thing.

Hiro’s aura is an eldritch abomination. It doesn’t actually touch his head, it is anchored to an area about 3 centimetres from his skin. Close to him, it’s like vantablack coloured smoke that somehow doesn’t obscure him AT ALL and always keeps 3 centimetres away from his actual body. There’s no visual noise looking at it, just a black so dark it almost seems to glow and hurts to look at. Looking at it, it’s like there’s supposed to be something there, and there ISN’T. It’s less of a presence and more of a cold absence that can pick things up.

It is a mass of tentacles, the edges of which are somehow visible even when they’re in front of each other. At full tangibility, it leaves frost on things it touches that aren’t him. When he hides or masks it, it folds into the 3 centimetre area until it’s all gone. It extends in front of him and behind him but he can somehow see through it perfectly, even when it obscures everything around him. Looking at him, somehow, impossibly, you KNOW there’s hole in reality black in front of him, but he looks floodlit And only him, anything else covered by it in front of him, around him, or behind him is fully hidden. The three centimetres of visible floor around his feet are tinted grey, along with the anything that appears to be within three centimetres of the outside of the thing.

It seems to have a bit of a mind of its own, to the point where he’ll praise it or tell it off sometimes when it does something of its own accord.

Also the tentacles branch at the ends.

Spells fired into it are dampened slightly unless he actually lets them through, and mind magic spells just disappear, as if fired into the ocean or something, although there’s no ripples at all, they’re just swallowed and never reach him.

He doesn’t use the spell very often. Damn thing’s only good in a fight or when he needs a way to keep stuff cold that doesn’t involve ice spells, and it tends to scare people. He doesn’t want to scare his mob with eldritch abominations.

(Oooh, naturally this makes me wonder if his aura isn’t actually due to his depression at all, but something more sinister...

I’m calling it now. The reason he’s got a super powerful aura and somehow ended up as a mob boss for a bunch of supernatural creatures was that it was all planned by some super shadowy council of mythical creatures and powerful demons, because he’s in the middle of some super important prophecy that only they know of, and they can’t afford him dying on them before they’re finished with him. So they manipulate him to give him powers (maybe what he thinks is depression is actually some kind of demonic possession), pull strings and somehow cause both Honey Lemon and the hunters to be in the cafe on that day so that Hiro could save her and end up protected by a huge group of supernatural creatures.

Of course, this begs the question of what the council really wants with Hiro...

DoWaS Tadashi frees Hiro before he gets paralyzed, and then the experiment that resulted in his antler damage gets cancelled and all the servitors involved must be killed-but Tadashi’s got a new technique, and they figure they can work it out if he’s vivisected, but they have to paralyze him first. They trick him into thinking that he has mild radiation sickness and the paralytic is a cure. To save Hiro from the same fate, a werewolf turns on a video screen to show him the footage, thinking he’ll be killed by punishment fugue from the mind control. Instead he just breaks free of the societal conditioning, lacking a Blessing, and proceeds to smash and force field cut his way up, saving Tadashi, before using a Sharing (teaching spell, creates a mental environment that little kids can safely practice their magic in) to talk telepathically with Tadashi and learn the teleport spell that Tadashi got given to him by part of the Pattern.

Then Hiro discovers that he likes fighting, the poor Institute gets so mangled it’s irreparable, he plays with gravitational manipulation to throw antimagic coated aircraft around and manages to get a single working wingflap in a no magic environment, and then in the shielded beam chamber he teleports Tadashi, Baymax, and himself out, along with a LOT of random stuff, while also blowing up the chamber behind him with three thermobarics that he found, an impact detonator, a telekinesis spell (that fades very quickly once he's teleported off) and a large bit of rubble.

Chapter titles are weird. And often clever. Book Two’s ‘Killing them Softly’ is about faking deaths, for example.

DoWaS Hiro ends up with hair that looks like the night sky, there's even little points of light like the heliostats (also known as STARs) that orbit. (Heliostats are big orbiting mirrors used for adding extra daylight hours. Sometimes they're retasked at strange hours and suddenly bright sunlight for a few minutes. )

DoWaS Tadashi's strain cracks were microcracks, so sadly the crystal is only visible with a microscope or a magnification spell. It is pretty, though, if you HAVE a magnification spell. Which Baymax has. Also it is difficult for the Hamabros to be scared of Baymax, even if he has their mother's antlers, because he's just. So nice. And he offers up a replacement name for the Masters: 'doggies'.

(OOOOH It’s a fanfic! That’s why I couldn’t find it! I was looking for a short story in some sci-fi compendium or something.

Oh man, the visual of Hiro with night sky hair is absolutely gorgeous. And even if they’re microcracks, I bet Tadashi’s antlers are very sparkly as a result in certain lights. Basically from the sounds of it the boys would be very pretty and shimmery in this AU XD)

[bh6-au-ideas]

AU based off of Days of Wasp and Spider? Hiro is Gravity, Tadashi is Fusion. Instead of griffins, werewolves and winged unicorns, it's winged antlered people (servitors like the Hamabros), griffins and werewolves. Hiro sneakily teaches himself to read while in training. Baymax is a prototype healthcare robot with access to magic due to having antlers from a killed servitor. At first Baymax is programmed to not think servitors are people but then he actually meets them and talks to them and (1)

(2) is able to see what the Blessing does. He decides they're people after that. He meets the Brothers when they're in the Institute, with Hiro teleporting around and Tadashi paralyzed, and promptly decides that yeah, he's with them. The werewolves are justifiably terrified. There's a robot that can lift a thousand pounds and has access to medical magic and knows how to use it offensively, and the Brothers, who can track anything by either its stored energy or its density differences from air.

(So I couldn’t actually find what this is referring to? Like, is it an anime? But let’s see what we can do with this anyways)

Imagine though if Baymax’s antlers were actually taken from one of the Hamada Parents. And the brothers can tell when they look at them, so at first they both fear and resent Baymax.

But then he starts helping them and taking care of them and assisting the paralyzed Tadashi, and they realize that he’s really not that bad, and he can’t be blamed for his creators’ decisions. They grow to rely on him, and help him learn about his new ‘patients’, the servitors

And I can’t blame the werewolves for being scared. Hiro can teleport, that’s pants-pooping terrifying

[bh6-au-ideas]

Silly/fun AU time! How about an AU where Hiro has the powers of Viewtiful Joe? His powers include actions that has to do with movie editing, such as Slow (think Matrix), Mach Speed (fast forward), and Replay (where an action of his, whether he is the one dealing or taking damage, is repeated up to 3 times). Btw, to my knowledge, there is no "rewind" power, so no reversing lol. Oh, and he has a sentai suit and poses too lol. One condition is that he needs an audience, live or filmed.

The SFIT showcase would have gone VERY differently. Sure, there’s no rewind, but there was definitely a crowd in the background when he was trying to stop Tadashi, and that Slow action would have come in handy.

But that’s assuming things even got that far. If Hiro had powers like that, he would have been making even more of a killing in the botfighting ring (assuming he can somehow apply those powers to Megabot). He’s raking in so much cash that he’s going to have enough to pay off tuition before he even starts. If anything, it gets boring, and THAT’S why he stops, not because Tadashi asked him to. Except without botfighting and without being convinced to go to class yet, he ends up stuck with nothing to do.

Until he’s walking home late one night and hears a scream. Rushing towards the sound, he finds a large crowd standing around a burning building, with a woman still trapped inside. As cliche as this is, Hiro knows it’s his moment. He’s going to become...a superhero!

(The sentai suit and poses come later though, as he grows into his roll. At first he thinks they’re dorky as hell, and only uses them because they tend to draw the audience he needs for his powers to work, but over time he learns to LOVE being a giant dweeb. To the point Tadashi catches him practicing poses in the mirror at home. Awwwkwaaaaard)

[bh6-au-ideas]

That was completely unexpected. I never intended for the post-cog AU to be a dark one, but it's a good one though! Set in the same AU, both Tadashi & Aunt Cass has similar abilities. For Tadashi's, he could absorb & memorize the contents of every informations (both manual & digital) through physical contact with the objects (books, computers, etc.) where said informations were kept in. For Aunt Cass', she could feel the emotion of one's feelings whenever she touches him/her.

In my defense, I wasn’t expecting that post-cog AU to be dark either. It just kinda happened :D

As for other people’s powers, those make SO much sense. That’s how Tadashi managed to fill Baymax with all this medical information when it should have taken him YEARS to just learn it himself, let alone code it. And that’s why Aunt Cass’ cafe is so popular. She just knows how you’re feeling without you ever having to tell her, and she always has a cookie for you when you need it.

She gets a LOT of dark vibes off of Hiro after the fire. I mean, a LOT.

[bh6-au-ideas]

A BH6 AU where Hiro has a strange habit of wearing gloves all the time because he has the ability to see one's memories of his/her past through physical contact (like hand shakes, shoulder grip/pat, etc.). Some people are avoiding him because of it, thinking that their secrets won't be save whenever he's around. Others like his two families and four friends, are accepting, thinking that Hiro would be able to understand them better through his visual communication power.

Oh gosh, this is one of the coolest powers and honestly I don’t think people do enough with this because come on. THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES, especially if his post-cog powers aren’t limited to human contact.

Imagine, after the fire, Hiro sneaks into the wreckage to search for some sign of Tadashi. He’s grieving, and he’s not thinking clearly, but he wants some form of closure, and he thinks maybe if he can see Tadashi’s final moments he’ll get that. But he learns so much more when his hands brush the twisted and melted metal that is all that remains of the showcase hall.

Think of how fast the plot of the movie would accelerate if Hiro knew exactly what had happened days afterward. He wouldn’t be able to go to the police, because then he’d have to reveal his powers, so he’d instantly be looking into ways to get revenge on his own. Maybe he ends up back in the darker parts of San Fransokyo, because he knows a few people from bot fighting who are willing to do anything for the right incentive. And what better to use his powers for than blackmail material?

Three days after the fire, Yama is ordering his Fujitas to do anything Hiro tells them, and when questioned he refuses to meet anyone’s eyes. The Fujitas learn to fear Hiro just as much as they respect him, and they are quick to do his bidding.

Imagine a much darker Hiro with the power to know your deepest, darkest secrets with the single brush of skin on skin, surrounded by the lovely but deadly Fujitas, ready to get revenge for his fallen brother.

Callaghan wouldn’t stand a chance.

[bh6-au-ideas]

Yes! I was intending Hiro to be Callaghan's success, which is why I wrote the ending as I did :D I'm glad you saw that, in some way. And Tadashi's gonna flip when he finds out Hiro was actually alive.

Yup. But he’s gonna flip even MORE when he finds out Hiro’s also got POWERS now.

Because let’s face it, there’s no way Hiro WOULDN’T have powers. But oh god, what if this is another reverse!Sunfire AU where it’s Hiro with the fire powers? Imagine how traumatized they’d both be. And considering Tadashi was already emotionally on edge enough to trap his former professor in his own office and cause a lockdown, maybe that would be the final push towards driving him over the edge...

[bh6-au-ideas]

Has anyone ever covered a Miss Perigrine's Peculiar Children Au yet? I mean it's like a superpower AU but Peculiar people have to go into hiding lest they be killed by the demonic Wights and their invisible weapons, Hollowghast. People that can shapeshift into birds can manipulate time, invisible people can only be fully invisible if they walk around naked. (Bonus Points if everyone thinks Tadashi is a Normal, but his Peculiar Ability is that he can see Hollowghast while others can't)

Tadashi figures out that the Hollowghast were the ones who killed their parents, so with the help of Emma the fire-controlling peculiar, he heads fakes his death at the SFIT fire so he can go off to fight the Hollowghast without getting Hiro involved. Because if their parents were peculiar, and he’s peculiar, that means Hiro probably is too, and he’d be hunted by the Hollowghast as well.

Surprise, surprise, he’s right. (Either Hiro’s intelligence is his ‘power’ or maybe he’s a technopath. Because who doesn’t love technopath!Hiro?). But it takes him way longer to stop the Wights and the Holloghast than he expected, so he doesn’t get the chance to come home triumphantly to his family.

No, Hiro comes looking for him instead. And he’s pissed.

(But then he gets swept up into the fighting with the Hollowghast, so he doesn’t have time to tear Tadashi a new one, but Tadashi can feel Hiro’s glare on the back of his neck the whole time)
