indelicateinkSo our Weiss Kreuz and Saiyuki characters have their fair share of angst in canon, right?
WHAT IF IT WERE WORSE.
This month's challenge is something we're calling Dark Mirrorverse. Think of it as a parallel universe of canon in which things are reimagined... darker.
You can make it a hellverse; you can have a Shangri-La long ago abandoned by heaven; you can create an AU in which Grandpa Takatori had an early fall from grace that impoverished the family and created a catastrophic vacuum of power in Tokyo. You can be nicely cynical and make possibly nice canon changes (Kanan lives! Koumyou lives! Ouka lives! Asuka lives! Gojyo's parents don't abandon him! Rosenkreuz is delightful!) into events that actually make life in this universe a whole hell of a lot darker than it turned out in canon. YOU CAN DO ANYTHING. (You can even have a happy ending if you want; if anyone knows how to be happy in hell, it's our guys.)
Have fun.
Some examples to consider: the Mirror Universe from the original Star Trek; the dark parallel universe referenced in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Doppelgangland; The Wish). (I'm sure there are tons of dark parallel reality stories out there.) Feel free to ask questions if you have 'em!
