So, your Despair AU appears to be a Personality Swap AU? As someone with a Personality Swap AU as well, I couldn't help but find it fascinating! (From the looks of it, Teruko and Charles, Min and Veronika, Ace and Whit, Xander and David, are the swapped pairs.)
Yep! It is! It originally started as a joke with only Whit and Ace swapped, but I decided to make it a whole au!
Here are the pairs:
Teruko - Charles
David - Xander
Whit - Ace
Eden - Arei
J - Arturo
Hu - Nico
Rose - Levi
Min - Veronika
And also take a few scenes from canon in this au! :D
David: But I'm not ugly, right Mister Charles?
Charles: ...
Charles: It's ok, David.
David: WHAT DOES THAT MEAN????
-
Charles: Are you two playing games-?
Teruko: No.
Ace: Yes.
-
Aether: Hahaha! I got this scalpel! Maybe I can stab the TV!
Aether: HEY! MONODOG!
MonoLaptop: HEY!!! I'M A CAT! >:(
Aether: Stabs Laptop
MonoLaptop: Nothing
Aether: Ah-
Charles: Pfft-
-
Whit: Ohhh I get it!
Whit: You all think I'm damaged in the head! Well guess what, it's not like I forget everything you drill into my head after five seconds, hah?
Whit: Pff- IT'S FUCKING HILARIOUS ISN'T IT?
Whit: Well, guess what, I don't forget it.
-
Whit: And tell me why Teruko didn't kill David.
Ace: Because Teruko couldn't have killed David.
Whit: Oh, that makes sense.
Xander: Wait- that's just circle logic....
Whit: WHAT?!
Whit: YOU TRICKED ME!
-
Veronika: Wait.. please...
Veronika: I don't want to die...
-
Min: *Veronika Playground Scene*
-
Arei: Mmmm... I can't reach..! Who put the oil so high up....
Arei: Ah?
Rose: .... you're lucky enough it was low enough for me. Here you go.
Arei: Thank you!
-
Eden: So....why...?
Eden: Why does Arei get to be happy? But I don't?!
Eden: WHAT HAS AREI DONE TO DESERVE KINDNESS?!!!
-
Xander: ... Eden...
Xander: ......
Eden: So?? Why did you- tell me I could be a better person???
