i cant think of good fic titles so lyric from the song im actively listening to for it :] "I close my eyes and believe that you are here"

AUGHHH THIS IS A ROOMMATES!THATCHER. THIS IS THATCHER FR

this would definitely be a roommates au fic and thatcher would 100% be lamenting ruth. but he doesn't feel her presence as she watches him sob and drink in her name, and she wants him to see her so bad and let him know she's always been there watching. she tries interacting with him to no avail.

alt!thatcher watches it all unfold in the distance. ruth sees him too.

ykw fuck it im just gonna ramble abt roommates au idk i just wanna get my thoughts out

putting it under a thing tho in case you dont wanna read it bc i dont wanna be annoying

(quick warning for implied mental abuse as well as mental health struggles in general)

so basically, vol 333 happens, ruth is dead, and thatcher already encounters the alt at the end of the episode. he goes home to not risk seeing it again only to find that it followed him home after dispatching to other officers that thatcher "made a mistake" and that "everything's fine here at that station". turns out, the alternate is suddenly fascinated with thatcher and wants to get to know him more (mostly as a ploy to replace him later).

well, a few years go by, thatcher's mental health has only been going down the drain. constantly drowning himself in work and only distracting himself by watching the same old black n white movies. the alternate, who he has named "davis", is kinda just there, and he usually flip flops between being a weird cat and thatcher's sleep paralysis demon constantly degrading and berating him for the things he couldnt do back in '92. he knows he flip flops too, and it's to make thatcher think nothing of his shitty behavior.

dave still visits him a lot, and thatcher kinda locks davis in his closet when dave comes over so he doesnt see him. davis always hates it though and gets really antsy and aggressive during those times. going back to thatcher n dave though, dave always tries to get thatcher out of the house more, but thatcher always refuses. he only goes out for necessities like food and water as well as for work.

he had been writing letters to ruth ever since she died. the letter heard in vol 4 was one of the first he ever wrote to her. and he still to the day of vol 4 still goes by the old murray house and stands right outside. some days he braves himself up to go to the porch. he always runs back to his car out of breath and with tears though, never being able to get over that night.

davis sometimes follows him there, always giving thatcher a good scare whenever he does. thatcher always gets defensive and worries that he might be seen though, and not even davis knows why he worries about that.

i also imagine that whenever thatcher is busy w like dave or on the phone at hime, whenever davis makes a ruckus thatcher says "sorry, that's my roommate", hence why it's called the roommate au.

anyways, dave does also end up dying, and davis knows immediately through some weird alternate shenanigans. but he doesnt tell thatcher for him to find out himself. i imagine that if/when he finds out he's devastated, and davis just says nothing, letting him grieve.

however, on the bright side i do imagine that evelin survives being at the station and somehow finds thatcher's address. still planning this part out, but think they end up having a good relationship. and evelin knew dave, so they bond over that as well and i just want those two to be a sort of father-daughter relationship and it would be so wholesome and happy and would make thatcher smile after so long and <33333

uuhhhh yeah i think that's all i got

i was thinking of adding like mark and cesar or adam and jonah as sort of roommates but i decided to scrap it and just go w thatcher and davis angst. and yeah thats my ted talk

lil wip of something i'm planning :)ccccc

[henriiiii-1001old]

you should drop the list ^-^

aight. here ya go. gonna give the basic plot/explain the basic idea for each as well

key: bold - main au(s) * - concept au(s) no formatting/special character - just some aus i happen to have

tmc unholy gift - the real gabriel gets released from his sand prison and all hell breaks loose /hj tmc roommates - basically just thatcher and alt!thatcher being the "best of friends" plus a ton of angst tse-like tmc au - ruth's daughter (who i named dorothy bc fuck you) tries to find ruth but has to discover the unfortunate truth by the most unlikely of sources alt swap au - humans and alts swap roles (i havent posted much on them but i have concepts of almost everyone if y'all wanna see them) a father's duty - dadtcher. that's kinda it DCFVGBHN fairy tale au - everyone is in the place of fairy tale characters, and they all take place in the same universe fairy au* - humans are fairies, and alts are predators (basically anything that eats bugs) hybrid au - everyone is a hybrid of one animal, alts can change what animal they are a hybrid of as well as be a hybrid of multiple animals tmc x murder files - my ocs get transported to mandela county and fuck shit up troubled twins - basically my rendition of the twin adams concept mostly inspired by @/adammurrays version of it! wont go into too much detail, but adam and his alternate are raised together as "twins", and chaos ensues in a deep, dark forest au - tmc but it takes place in a small, woodland town near a very haunted forest (inspired by きくお/kikuo's 深い森のなかで/In A Deep, Dark Forest) the witch's house au - thatcher is ticked into swapping bodies with an alt, that alt now walking around as him looking for its next victim. ruth is the only one who notices dream sweet au - thatcher hallucinates everyone living in a sky-like area and everyone survives. snaps back into reality once ruth reveals to him that she's actually dead (inspired by dream sweet in sea major by ミリカルミュージカル/miracle musical) (merged w angel au) yellow wallpaper au - both jude and lynn survive, but lynn has so much trauma now. jude just happens to be here too channel 3 subplot au - eric sanchez is a slay man that goes through the horrors

list will update if i get the confidence to share other aus/ if i get more ideas

ほら見てと　ほら触れてよ 凡庸な服を捨て去って 今サナギから蝶になるの ありのまま全て見せつけて 冷めきった演者はいないならステップ刻んで１，２，３ 踊らされるんじゃない　踊るのよ さぁ　さぁ　さぁ　狂って
