Spoiler-Free HCs about my Modern VM AU in the works:
The group met by living in the same area, and eventually the same apartment building, Greyskull Lodge (fancy name for a cheap apartment complex).
They started having movie and game nights on Thursdays, where they rotated to each other's apartments for snacks, board games, sometimes TTRPGs, and movies.
Pike is an ER nurse who lives with her adoptive brother, Grog, a bouncer. She has a large first aid kit in the front room of their tiny apartment for any small injury the group inevitably suffers. The majority of its contents have gone to Percy and Grog.
Vax is a mortician, while Vex starts out working as a park ranger before she eventually heads up the Grey Hunt Foundation after she and Percy get married.
Kiki is the only vegan in the group and dresses like she's from the sixties and seventies. She and Vax bonded over oldies music, and their first date was to a drive-in movie, and they eventually get married. She later owns a tea and flower shop and is living her best life.
Vax is a cancer survivor and turned to religion just before he got his diagnosis.
Vax and Pike both go to different churches on the same street (different religions, different temples), but they carpool together.
Every year since Vax went into remission, they have a 'fuck cancer' party on the anniversary of the day he got the news. Vax lives in this AU. Sue me.
Scanlan is a single dad after Kaylie's mom died suddenly when she was only a few months old. The others were his major support system.
Scanlan is a lawyer, though he is a popular cover singer on weekends. The group will go to whatever bar/restaurant he's performing at to support him, or babysit Kaylie if he needs help that night. He eventually inherits the house that will eventually become his 'magnificent mansion' from an older coworker who took him under his wing.
Pike and Scanlan have been on and off in terms of a relationship over the years. They love each other very much, but every time they try to make it work, it's like a 90s sitcom that Grog is always tuned in to. That being said, they do eventually get married (and divorced-- and married again) and have the Pikelan babies.
They are all beefing with Syldor Vessar. Vex and Vax have a Syldor Hate Squad behind them. That being said, the group loves Velora.
Percy proposed to Vex on a hike. He had a plan to do a fancy restaurant and make it all romantic, but they were on a hike, and he just decided he couldn't wait any longer. He didn't even have the ring with him, but he just knew. It was just them and Trinket on the top of a small rocky hill when he popped the question. Vex later said that it was perfect.
The day before Mother's Day, the group gets together and talks about their respective Moms. They have a little feast of their favorite recipes from childhood, things that their moms loved, or foods they associated with their respective mothers, and they'll talk. After the Perc'ahlia and Pikelan kids are born, however, the event becomes much happier.
Scanlan is very allergic to dogs. Hence...his beef with Trinket.
Probably gonna be a while before I actually post anything from this AU, but I think about it quite a bit lol.
