Plotting shall happen when I have ideas, let me think on it for a bit. I saw the event explanation late last night and it's early in the morning today haha I need a minute. BUT I SHALL DO THINGS

First I gotta take care of tags

i mean HOW DID THIS HAPPEN

The obvious suggestion for Ciel is "the death of his family/the cult/all of that" never happened.

oh god. he'd be all.... HAPPY......

that's absurd and evil at once

HE MIGHT ACTUALLY MENTION HIS ONIICHAN

...The trouble with this AU is that he'd go "why are you all calling me Ciel? My name is [---]"

oh that's so mean

A train just randomly passes by every time he tries to say his own name.

I can do Syaoran who never reincarnated and simply died in the final battle, then he's depressed and empty

the opposite of baby ciel who'd be all fluffy

interrupting Powder happens every time

narrowmybed: yes sudden vuvuzela plays out

Ciel: wtf my name's-
Powder: HEY GUYS

more seriously you could have him ICly unable to recall bc somethingsomething Barge interference is fucking with that particular detail and nobody knows why

maybe ask mods if that works

it is way funnier to interrupt him

but yes that could be too!

plotting post

what if both

him being interrupted and then when no interruption happens it's like "jk i can't remember"

yes

man this Sebastian would hate this Ciel. A well-adjusted, happy Master?? Disgusting

I was actually half-planning to have Sebastian's part of the contract seal remain intact (simply because it would upset him so much to the point of not-fun-anymore after the flood ended), but that'd just make him even more frustrated in the moment. He's still stuck with this kid, and to add insult to injury he's now all happy??

Er. It would upset him so much if the contract seal was missing, that is.

yes
