SKIDS IN HERE so we've already got a Mafia AU going and THAT WAS ALSO UP THERE and this could be a stupid fucking idea and I'll probably get others later BUT

And I'm not at function junction but basically thinking the homunculi as representations of Sins being locked up somewhere in Heaven. Each Archangel has one they have to maintain and make sure they can't ever escape otherwise, if they all get out, that's End Game folks

JAZZHANDS and guess who's the lucky mother fucker that gets your local sin incarnate

I JUST HAVE vague ideas in my head but I imagine they're like. Buried deep somewhere in Heaven in rooms that would be very hard to fucking access and or no one but a few know about em

I love it! Chain smoking in the basement like a black sheep of the family, he’s going to have to carry around a can of air freshener for his room and his clothes. The price of Sin is choking on Clean Linen scent every time he has to go down there and check on him. He will take away those smoking privileges if he has to leave wheezing again

I ALSO still fucking dig American Gods-ish thing I had for the two of them AND I WILL HIT THIS JAM UP AGAIN once I get to function fucking junction

I come offering vibes

Ok I lied, I'm going to do a very quick write up for these when my skull wants to work

For Ruby, I'm thinking a modern AU. Greed runs a rather seedy and questionable bar and is otherwise ABSOLUTELY involved in some sort of crime. The first bar probably got torched (quite literally) by the good ol'fam, so he's had to rebuild things from the ground up. And somewhere along the line, he finds Ruby (maybe she was out on the street) I DON'T KNOW

but something like that, and he just took her in to his shitty apartment in a shitty part of town

It's not an official adoption and he is not a caregiver by any means, but he makes it work in his own, weird way. Like he won't be a dad by any means, but he begrudgingly takes care of her (and gives a shit about her)

Wakes up early for the first time in his life, makes sure she's got plenty to eat, will show up at whatever school he gets her to go to on his bike and be an absolute fucking problem if someone messes with her

Basically crime boss taking care of a small kid and not knowing fuck all what to do

also fuck it, doing another one too for Michael. Some sort of futuristic setting and I'M JUST rolling with whatever I think of so if shit goes off the rails, APOLOGIES ALL AROUND and I'm making shit up as we go, that's how we roll around here

But the future is an absolute shit show. Yeah, it's functioning, there's cities and technology, but it's basically got a kind of cyberpunk aesthetic going on. There are normal people, some not so normal people, and then some Classified things. Michael is part of elite law force known as A.N.G.E.L

(Alternatives Negotiating and General Examination Legation) fuck that took me too long to figure out what the acronym could stand for AND I MIGHT CHANGE IT BUT FOR NOW

basically he tracks down things in the "Classified" category. Classified usually means they have something odd about them. An ability, a modification, something else. He's got his own (he was born with some abilities, I leave that up to you) and the government's given him the rest. What government? NOT SURE YET

He's basically been in this whole program since he was young, and he's very fucking good at his job

He's been working on a string of odd murders in the city. A lot of it doesn't add up, it all seems like a Classified thing is involved, but there's never any witnesses, nor is there any real evidence behind. And while most people at whatever the agency is rights them off as Classified being Classifieds, he eventually begins to see a pattern.

Certain people are being targeted. Not too big too notice, nothing that would even been a blip on the radar, but whatever's going on? There's a bigger picture here he can't quite see

waves hands there's something in there about Lucifer also being a part of this, but eventually defecting and also some weird twin connection shit but ANYWAY

and I have to go to sleep, but just tossin' this shit here

Eventually, he follows a string of information to a warehouse on the opposite side of town. It used to be owned by a company that has since gone under, and he ends up dropping in on a woman who has a man pinned to the wall like a bug. Man may or may not be someone Michael knows, I'll figure that out later

Not sure if he actually confronts her either, but in any case, he gets a glimpse of her tattoo, some information, and ends up running a scan. What he finds isn't much, a lot of documents that basically end up leading to no where. A lot of redacted information that shouldn't be

But that ouroboros starts to show up a lot. Politics, religion, local businesses. And he gets a tip off the street that a bar in the east block of the city has someone matching a similar description. Black hair, similar look, ouroboros tattoo on his hand

(and one of those documents he found mentioned another pair of twins HA HA ironic) so of fucking course he's going to check it out

Modern AUs and shit, I'm always going to fucking make Greed and Lust twins IT'S JUST GUNNA HAPPEN

I can imagine Michael does some recon on the place first. Who goes in, who comes out, what dealings go on, and see if he can get a glimpse of the man. But either he knows he's being watched, or he's very good at covering his tracks. Eventually though, he ends up finding out a few things.

Including their real names, what Sins they go by, and a plan to get into the Devil's Nest. It's probably got a code to get in like some sort of futuristic speakeasy or something

FOAMS AT THE MOUTH

Holy shit, Plurk was holding out on me. You know that I am game for anything and everything AU, I will just sit here and rub my little fly hands together. I will think on this and see if I can toss some more but I think that is such a solid idea. And don’t think I’ve forgotten about American Gods

crime boss and small child the good shit
