#rott fix-it

Aja is Toby’s sister AU

Okay, this is something I came up with a while ago, and I wanted to share it with other people, so I created this account JUST TO DO SO.

So, the story (oh, and sorry if my english is bad, it’s not my 1st language):

- Morando managed to conquer Akiridion-5 10 years before the events of the series.

- Zadra escaped to Earth with Aja on a ship, but Krel stayed in Akiridion-5 and was "adopted" by Morando, being created by him to become his evil prince.

- The ship (so small that only Zadra and Aja fit in it) crashes in Arcadia’s Woods. Nana Domzaslki (not legally blind at the time) finds it. Zadra tells her the truth about what happened before she dies (R.I.P., Zadra).

- Nana ALREADY KNEW about extraterrestrials, because she had contact with them during World War I. She was injured on a mission and received a blood transfusion from an extraterrestrial friend of hers, and that's why she managed to live for so long (let’s all agree she’s just TOO YOUNG to have fought in WWI)

- Nana adopts Aja, who becomes Toby’s little sister. In fact, just like she called Krel "little brother", she calls Toby "big brother". Sometimes she calls herself "Toby's aunt" (since she was adopted by his grandmother) just to annoy him.

- This version of “Mother" is a portable device, instead of a house-shaped spaceship.

- Jim, Toby and Aja besties.

- Trans! Jim because why not?

- Bounty hunters tried to capture Aja when she was a young kid, but she was saved by Nana and Stuart (yes, he was already in the children’s life at the time, because he wouldn’t miss the chance to meet and protect a Tarron-on-the-run). That’s how Jim and Toby found out the truth about her.

- When Jim finds the Amulet of Daylight, he asks Aja if that’s akiridion tech, which she denies, although she had a feeling she already knew what that object was. 

- When Blinky and AAARRRGGHH!!! break into Jim’s house, Aja remembers hearing the stories of the "legendary Trollhunter" and steals Blinky's glory by telling Jim almost everything Blinky originally tells him.

- Vendel acted weirdly with Aja so she wouldn't find out about Gaylen's Core, since it was supposed to be a secret. He leaves her a letter so, in case he died before he managed to tell her, she’d still find the Core.

- Staja happens normally - although Aja hated Steve at first because he was a bully and used to mess up with her brother and her best friend.

- Claire, at first, thought that Aja and Jim were dating, and this led to many confusing moments and embarrassing situations, but in the end everything was resolved, Jlaire is still the best couple ever and the two girls are great friends.

- After the Eternal Night battle, 3Below's storyline takes place with a few minor changes. But Jim, Claire and the trolls still leave Arcadia.

- Morando sends Krel to Earth, and after many and many battles and dramatic brother-sister moments, he returns to the good side.

- The Tarron siblings find out about Gaylen's Core and also discover that their parents' Cores are safe somewhere in the Galaxy. They search for them and are able to reunite with their parents, but in the end Fialkov and Coranda still sacrifice themselves to defeat the god Morando.

- Aja and Krel have plans to return to Akiridion-5, but something happens (aka Wizards) and they go to the past along with the rest of the gang.

- Merlin still dies because ✨drama✨

- Jim doesn't go back to being human (I love Troll! Jim, sorry)

- ROTT happens, but no one dies and everyone is fine and doing therapy as it should have been originally 💆‍♂️

I'm back with the next chapter of my ROTT fic!

Jim deals with the aftermath of restoring Strickler's memories, and makes a plan with Draal, Toby and Strickler on how to kill Bular.

If his so called team can stop arguing for five minutes.

Sorry I keep missing Magical Siblings Monday--I've been trying to use every spare creative brain cell I have to finish up the RotT fic. Here's a tiny bit more Wings!Douxie to make up for it:

Douxie chokes out a disbelieving laugh as they lift and spread themselves out--he can’t tell if he’s the one controlling them or not, but they seem to be responding to his desire to get a better look all the same. The feathers are a glossy, inky black, warm like sunlight and soft against his skin. There is a viney pattern across the tops, glowing with the gentle green light of Nari’s magic. The tips of the primaries fade from black, to blue-green, to a brilliant blue, the same color that he always loved to put in his hair. He feels Nari’s magic give an affirmative hum at the thought--she has made them this way on purpose.

These will take you to where you are most needed, Nari says. You must go now.

Halfway done with the climax, then it's just a matter of drafting up the epilogue (which shouldn't take nearly as long as the action sequences do). Thank you all for being so patient! ✨

(Also if you haven't already seen it, @meadow-roses has done some GORGEOUS Wings!Douxie artwork based on my design, so definitely give it a look--it's canon to the fic!)

I'm going to be posting the next chapter of Challenging Destiny tomorrow evening, so I thought I'd give a little sneak peek at the chapters ending with zero context:

Wariness made Strickler tense minutely, “What do you have in mind?”

Jim met Strickler’s eyes, “Do you still have the Inferna copula?”

Needless to say Angor Rot is making an appearance in the next chapter. Hehehe.

What's been your favorite scene to write in Challenging Destiny so far? :D

Thanks for the ask!

And boy that's a tough one, I've enjoyed several aspects of Challenging Destiny, but I probably have three top scenes that I feel equally happy about.

So I'm just going to give a shout out to each of them! And why I enjoyed writing the scenes.

The first one was in chapter one, when Jim hugged Strickler when he came into his office after the time reset. I just feel that RoTT cut the scene short, we didn't even get a more emotional reunion, considering Jim watched Strickler die to save him and he was dead for at least 24 hours. So giving them that time was incredibly cathartic. As well as the fact Jim by now would almost certainly consider him a dad. What Blinky's going to feel at their closeness will be borderline jealousy in later chapters.

Second scene was in the 5th chapter, when Strickler got his memories back, it was really fun exploring how that would work and the fact that Strickler would relive his arguably most painful moments. And the concept of Jim acting as a channel for those memories, through Daylight, acting as the opposite of the Decimar blade.

And finally in my latest chapter the scene with Draal, NotEnrique, Strickler, Toby and Jim arguing. Their dynamics were a joy to write and explore and I'm looking forward to doing more interactions with them. And I really can't wait to bring Angor Rot into this. His redemption arc is going to be so interesting to write, especially since I've barely written him in any of my other fics. Inspiration for this particular direction is thanks to @gold-kobold who writes the most wonderful Angor in How to fight a shadow.

And that's all I have to say! Once again thanks for the ask!
