I may have tripped and accidentally created a new AU based on that. A "Reverse Time Wish" AU, if you will.
In the original AU - the more sides you have, the higher class you are. This results with Triangles being on the bottom. In this AU - Triangles are on top. (And the more sides you have, the worse off you are)
Bill is born to a high-class Triangle family. His father is a successful politician, and his mother hosts charity events for the poor.
Of course- to keep his voters happy, Euclid is hesitant to make any truly meaningful changes.
Bill, born with one eye, is an irregular. Something that resulted in him being quietly shut away for most of his life.
Since Scalene never had to be sterilized, Bill likely ended up being the elder brother to far more 'perfect' siblings who are absolutely used for political publicity.
(And ends up being an absolute menace towards - totally not out of resentment, of course.)
Bill is still blind in this AU - of course.
Unlike the OG timeline, Bill blinds himself to prevent himself from causing the destruction of Eucldia. How successful that turns out to be is yet to be determined.
All of this means is that when Ford DOES show up in this timeline, he's doing things the hard way. No special privileges for Ford!
...Unless, he of course, catches the attention of a certain blind recluse, Rich Triangle....
Silas was sitting on the floor, making his new toy cars ram into each other. His head shot up at the sound of the demon’s voice, and a moment later he was excitedly scrambling to his feet.
“Oh boy!” Silas squeaked, bouncing on his tippy toes. “A present from Alcor? This is the best birthday ever!”
Alcor smiled, and ruffled the boy’s hair. “You only turn 12 once, kiddo. You deserve something special. C’mon.”
Out of the corner of his eye, Alcor noticed Silas’s father giving him a considerably less enthused look. He flashed him a thumbs up to try to reassure him that he wasn’t going to get Silas into any kind of crazy demon shenanigans again. Only when his frown deepened did he remember that he likely had no idea what that strange, archaic gesture meant.
Time was always making a fool of Alcor.
“So,” he said, after he’d pulled Silas aside. “What’s the best thing you can think of?”
“A drum set!” Silas shouted immediately, stars in his eyes. “Dude, dude, dude, did you really -”
Alcor threw his hands up, looking like a deer caught in headlights if the headlights were ten years old and pretending to play loud musical instruments. “No, think smaller than that. But still awesome.”
“Hmm... Popcorn?” Silas tried. When Alcor shook his head, he kept going. “Monstermon. Candy. Milkshakes. Hot air balloon. Candy. My own house. Pizza?”
“Yes! Pizza!” Alcor broke in, clapping. “Surprise!” He presented a plate to the boy, which had a single slice of pepperoni pizza on it.
Silas raised an eyebrow, and poked at the large ribbon that was wrapped around it. “This is the best present ever? I love pizza, but I thought a present from Alcor meant something cool and magical...”
“Trust me, kiddo,” Alcor said, winking at him. “This is a really good slice of pizza.”
Silas looked back and forth between the pizza, which looked cold and stale, and the demon, who was grinning so wide that it looked like his jaw was going to fall off. Then he shrugged, and took a bite. Surprisingly, the pizza tasted warm and fresh like it’d just been made. And he’d been sure there had been pepperoni on the slice when he’d looked at it, but somehow it tasted like it had powdered sugar and broccoli on it -- his favourite pizza toppings.
“Wow!” Silas exclaimed with his mouth full. “You weren’t kidding! This is the best pizza I’ve ever eaten!”
“There’s more, if you’re still hungry,” Alcor said.
Silas blinked. The bite he’d taken had seemingly grown back, leaving no trace that anyone had ever eaten any of it. His eyes widened, and he started taking more bites of pizza, enjoying the varying tastes which seemed calibrated specifically to him, and watching how the pizza shimmered and glowed whenever it regenerated.
“This is one of my greatest treasures,” Alcor said in a hushed tone, kneeling down to the boy’s eye level. “Me and my sister traveled through time and faced hundreds of treacherous tasks so that we could give our friend the best birthday present ever. And then it turned out that all he wanted was a slice of pizza.”
Silas nodded, still furiously scarfing down pizza.
“Anyway, I know you’ve been having a rough time lately, and I know you’ve been missing your mom a lot since she...” Alcor trailed off, then clapped the boy on his shoulder. “Now that my other friend isn’t around anymore, it seemed like there was someone else I knew who could use a good birthday.”
“I... am!” Silas said slowly, rubbing his belly. “But um... My tummy hurts from pizza...”
Alcor chuckled. “Why don’t you go lie down for a bit? You’ve had a big day.”
"Yeah! Yeah,” Silas squeaked. He started to run off, then paused and added. “Thank you for the present Alcor! I love it!”
“No problem Soo- Silas,” Alcor replied. He watched the boy head back to the living room to show his dad the gift he’d gotten, and he smiled again. He might be a demon, but it still felt really good to do nice things for the people he cared about.
Besides, if Alcor couldn’t eat the pizza (and he’d TRIED -- it only regenerated when Soos’s soul ate it and no matter how much magic he threw at it he could not manage to modify the time wish), he figured someone should at least get some enjoyment out of it.
