OWL HOUSE AU: Hand Of Belos
An AU where instead of ending up in Eda’stall, Luz ended up in Belos’s throne room. How did that happen? Well, Eda had been out doing her thing when the Emperor's Coven came to arrest her. In the chaos, she dropped the Doorway, and it was taken to Belos. While Owlbert escaped the castle, Luz followed the owl pailsmen and straight into the throne room. Belos, knowing she could easily help him with his goals, began to manipulate the young girl, molding her into the Amethyst Guard.
But all hope isn’t lost for Luz… You see, she has yet to meet Eda…
And that’s when Belos’s plan REALLY hits the fucking fan.
The story would be separated into three “phases:” Loyalty, Discovery, and Rebellion.
Also realize the plot lines below are NOT in episodic style. It's just an overview.
_______________________________________________________
PHASE 1 Plot:
Hunter and Luz would go on missions together, so they’d get pretty close, and they are pretty much siblings.
Luz wouldn’t have met Willow, Gus, or anyone from Hexside.
Luz would be given a staff with artificial magic like Hunter’s, but Luz’s has an added feature that allows her to turn invisible for temporary amounts of time.
Luz DOES meet Amity, but nearing the end of Phase 1. This is where she really gets an idea that Belos is not who he seems, since she gets to have a one-on-one conversation with Amity, who talks about joining the Coven but accidentally reveals that she doesn’t WANT to join the coven, and she felt like something was off with the Coven.
Lilith is Luz’s primary teacher, though Raine and Darius both have important places as mentors to her.
Belos’s only place in Luz’s life in the Boiling Isles is to feed her lies.
Eda is caught by the Emperor's Coven and Liltih, but isn’t forced into her owl beast form.
Luz has been having a hard time recently so she decides to confront Eda. And Eda explains her side of things. And Luz being Luz, well, she decides to free Eda in return for letting Luz join her, so she can REALLY experience the Boiling Isles. Eda agrees.
Eda and Luz’s experience in the Owl House is tense, but it's more of Luz trying to relearn everything Belos had lied to her about and try to ACTUALLY learn magic, which gets us the famous Owl Beast episode.
_______________________________________________________
PHASE 2 Plot:
Since only Belos knows what Luz looks like under the mask, Luz can go about the Boiling Isles with little worry of being recognized.
Luz kept her staff and mask but kept the mask at home while the staff she has been heavily customized.
Eda keeps an eye on Luz, obviously, but isn’t as worried when she’s alone.
Luz is able to attend Hexside with not much worry, since she had already had a grasp on Magic.
Luz’s interactions with Willow and Gus are more awkward than usual, due to her already being quite familiar with the Boiling Isles, and due to her time with Belos, she’s now more inclined to correct when someone is wrong. So imagine how that goes with Gus?
Luz and Amity hang out a LOT more in the beginning, and since Luz first friends (like usual) ARE Willow and Gus, she’s able to get the Hexsquad together a lot faster.
Amity actually suspects Luz of being the Amethyst Guard, Luz’s general way of speaking, especially when she’s stressed, are all too familiar to the guard she met in the Emperor's castle.
Luz actually stands up to Odelia, seeing the Blight mother as nothing more than a loyal pig to Belos. And well… It works pretty well. Alador even quits. Odelia is also forced to leave the manor so BONUS.
Belos constantly sends Hunter, Lilith, Darius, and Raine out to locate Luz, fearful of what she could reveal to the people. Darius and Raine take this as their key out of the Coven.
Luz by the end of Phase 2 has mastered glyphs and glyph combos, alongside mastering the use of her artificial magic staff. So when Belos sends a mass amount of Coven Guards to the Owl House, including Lilith and Hunter, Luz is there to defend the house. While she IS defeated, she was able to take out a large majority of the guards, including Hunter.
Don’t worry, Alador and the Blight kids had decided to visit Eda that day and were able to help Luz fully defeated the attacking force. Though now Belos knows where Luz is and is determined to take her back, even if she is near death.
THIS WOULD BE KINDA A SEGWAY TO PHASE 3. Lilith would be seen talking to her parents and Steve, telling them the Coven was planning something big, and possibly not in the favor of witchkind. And that she AND Hunter needed to get out as soon as possible. It’s also here in Belos’s more angry state he reveals Hunter is “No more than a Grimwalker.” Which obviously traumatizes Hunter.
_______________________________________________________
PHASE 3 Plot:
The beginning of this Phase is more of Luz making more connections with her friends. So Phase 3 is where our favorite gay beans actually begin to interact and fall for each other.
Remember, Belos still has the Doorway, but he needs LUZ and the key in order to use it, AND he still needs to keep his power over the witches in order to pull off his plan.
Darius and Raine (and Eber, I should say that) are able to make it to the Owl House, becoming honorary members of the family, and it becomes the main base for the C.A.T.S.
Lilith is able to get Hunter out of the castle, making a desperate move when she sees how Belos treats Hunter (which, obviously, is very poor).
Eventually, Lilith takes Hunter to Hexside and explains the situation to Principal Bump, who is all too happy to help, giving the duo a place to hide.
Luz is able to get a new upgrade to her growing arsenal of abilities thanks to Alador and Darius, which is a pair of Abomination Tech gauntlets.
The Emperor’s Coven kidnaps Gus and Willow to lure Luz to the castle. Which OBVIOUSLY Luz goes to confront Belos. Where she is once again captured and is forced to watch as Belos begins to drain Gus and Willow’s pailsemens of their life force.
WHILE THAT IS GOING ON: Eda, Raine, Darius, and Alador all decide to make a stand against the Emperor, which causes them to run out to call upon as many allies as possible. Which leads Eda to Hexside to talk to Principal Bump. There she discovered Hunter and Lilith recovering and helping students recover from a Coven attack. Of course after an understanding is reached, Lilith tells Eda all the ways they can defeat Belos. Hunter decides to join Eda, since he still views Luz as a sister.
Back at the castle, a sudden commotion outside lures Belos away from draining the lifeforce. During his absence, Luz is able to escape her bounds and free Gus and Willow. After getting them to safety, Luz goes to have a final confrontation with Belos. Who reveals he’s actually a human and goes on his whole tangent about the evil of Witches. But Luz would know better and the two would face off.
Belos would try to connect to the power of the Titan in order to sweep the fight, but Luz somehow got connected to the heart alongside Belos. So they BOTH ended up in the reality between time and space, AND meet Titan. And obvs Titan ain’t happy with Belos and after placing Belos in a little sphere, he’d have a heart to heart with Luz. Luz would then be disconnected from the Titan, though she would not leave empty handed.
Yeah there’d just be a scene of Belos getting his assed kicked by Titan.
After the fighting ceased and the evil of Belos was revealed, Luz would locate the Doorway and return home, but with Amity, Eda, and Raine by her side. They’d go meet with Mrs. Noceda, and tell her EVERYTHING that happened.
FLASH FORWARD: Luz is now 19, dating Amity, and the Boiling Isles are flourishing. She’d help settle some things down after Belos, and had helped the Witches reintroduce themselves to the Human Realm, which actually went surprisingly well. Now she’s in college. SO yeah! Good ending!
Luz Noceda: Daughter of a Order 66 survivor and a retired medical officer, Luz Noceda was born with a unique connection with the force, allowing her to sense things via the nature around her. After an Inquisitor killed her father, Luz began to learn more about the ways of the Jedi, but she wanted to learn her own way and follow her own path. This is what brought her in seeking out a mentor to teach her the ways of the Force and the ways of the Blade and Blaster. Little did Luz know, but this would bring out a whole new rebel cell’s birth. This is for my Owl House Star Wars AU! I am VERY VERY happy with this design! They came out so GOOD!
If you want to learn MORE about this AU, here's a link to the OG post!
Owl House x Star Wars AU
In a galaxy far far away, a rebel cell began to form on the planet Boilosa. The Empire sent a special legion, the Empire Coven as they called themselves, to the planet to cease the “civil unrest.” But all it did was strengthen the resolve of the planet’s residents. So, just like Lothol… a rebellion had begun.
_______________________________________________________
Main/Important Characters:
Luz Noceda: Daughter of a Order 66 survivor and a retired medical officer, Luz Noceda was born with a unique connection with the force, allowing her to sense things via the nature around her. After an Inquisitor killed her father, Luz began to learn more about the ways of the Jedi, but she wanted to learn her own way and follow her own path. This is what brought her in seeking out a mentor to teach her the ways of the Force and the ways of the Blade and Blaster. Little did Luz know, but this would bring out a whole new rebel cell’s birth.
Amity Blight: Daughter of a human (Alador) and a Nightsister (Odelia), Amity Blight was almost raised to be loyal to the Empire, but her father had other ideas on how to raise their children, so he took them to Boilosa. There, Amity learned more about her heritage and abilities with Dathomir magic. Slowly but surely she became quite skilled with it, especially in the area of summoning Dathomir spirits to her aid. It was actually her summoning spirits that caused her to bump into Luz on one of Luz’s adventures on the planet.
Eda Clawthorne: A Mandalorian that takes care of a young native to the planet (King), Eda Clawthorne, or the Owl Lady, is a very skilled and powerful bounty hunter, taking on even rouge Jedi and high ranking Imperial officials. Thanks to this, she has become quite the target. And Boilosa is the perfect place to hide out. Eda was content on causing the occasional mischief on the planet… that was until Luz the human arrived, claiming she was the daughter of a fallen Jedi and wanted to be trained how to fight. Needless to say, Eda never backs down from a challenge.
King: A young native to Boilosa, King is a very boisterous youngster, but he has a little bit of right to do so. His father was THE Titan, a legendary Jedi that left the order due to conflicting views. Titan believed that some people, even Dark Side users, deserved to get a second chance and a way to redeem themselves, among other beliefs. It was said beliefs that lead Titan to leave the order and start a family, King being his only offspring. Well, King now learns under Eda, and has quite the knowledge of Mandalorian culture.
The Titan/Titan: The legendary jedi who left the order, Titan has become something of a myth on the planet. But he is indeed real and alive, hiding deep in the pits of the planet, meditating in a form of hibernation. And thanks to this, he has become so attuned with the planet, he can manipulate it at will.
Willow: A Nautolan researching the local botany on the planet, Willow is a strong willed scientist and fighter. Bullied during her childhood, Willow strived to prove herself to her dads, her classmates, and above all else.. Herself. And thanks to learning so much about botany and biology, Willow has become a force to reckon with, being able to whip up a bunch of deadly and powerful “potions” with ease.
Gus: A Kel Dor on Boilosa to learn more about holograms and stealth technology, Augustus (Or Gus, as he prefers to be called by) was always treated differently due to his intelligence and skills with hologram technology. But after learning more and more and proving he was doing very well for himself, Gus left his home to Boilosa to experiment and learn. And now he can use the technology to create multiple holograms so perfect to himself and others he can trick any foe with ease.
Hunter: Hunter never knew his parents… probably because he was an unaltered clone of Belos’s deceased rebel brother Caleb. Belos created Hunter to become the ultimate Imperial soldier. Hunter has used every weapon in the Imperial military and flown every TIE Fighter model that made it to high production. But Hunter was a unique clone. He wanted to explore, to learn, to EXPERIENCE normal everyday life. So when Luz revealed to him the treachery of the Empire… and his true origin… he was given that chance to fight for that normal life.
Odelia Blight: Odelia Blight is a money driven marketer. She knows how to use her words to get what she wants, and she usually gets it. So when she joined the Empire, well… she rose through the ranks quickly.
Alador Blight: The husband of Odelia, Alador has forgotten why he married Odelia to begin with. And since leaving with the kids, he’s been keeping busy, repairing and rebuilding battle droids from the Clone Wars to keep his family safe and make some extra cash to get food on the table.
Belos: An Imperial Grand Admiral with deadly ambitions, Belos Whitebane is a pure force of hatred. If he had been connected to the Force, he may have been one of the most powerful Sith Lords… and it was this realization that made Belos connect with Moff Gideon to discuss cloning. Belos would make hundreds of clones of his deceased brother, each slightly altered to convince others of them being just related or it being of coincidence. And when he was ordered to Boilosa, he was ecstatic to begin his true reign of terror with his Empire Coven.
Lilith: Lilith truly believed the Empire was doing something good. As a Mandalorian, she joined the Imperial Navy to bring honor to her family. And she rose quickly through the ranks, commanding entire platoons of Stormtroopers. But when the Empire Coven were ordered to Boilosa, Lilith’s entire world would slowly crumble to reveal the awful tyranny she had spent her life defending.
_______________________________________________________
Important Story/AU Notes:
The cast would all be mainly the Time Skip ages/”designs.”
Mrs. Noceda is alive and well, no worries there.
Boilosa is a large planet, looking almost exactly like the Boiling Isles, but without giant skeletons.
The planet is home to various creatures, including ones indigenous to other planets.
Boilosa was once a place connected deeply to the Force, and temples dedicated to both the Sith and the Jedi are scattered all over the planet, in addition to the High Republic army bases hidden and the old Clone Wars bases and warehouses scattered as well.
Any conflict on Boilosa was minimal, the best being a firefight in the sky.
The citizens of Boilosa are from various species from across the galaxy.
Amity’s Dathomirian magic is slightly altered due to being partially human, so her magic is purple in color.
Edric and Emira Blight are both more human than Nightsister in appearance.
Story wise, this follows a similar plot of the Owl House (Luz learning magic, exploring the isles, and making friends all the while fighting Belos) but with more exploration, more making allies, and more learning her abilities. The big fights are scattered and altered.
Luz’s lightsaber is basically Stringbean. Purple and that tan-ish blue as the hilt, and yellow being the color of the blade.
Stringbean themself is an Astromech droid with the same spunk as R2-D2 but with a bit more innocence.

Edit: JSYK-- Caleb hacked the smart coffee maker like Connor did to the cctv in deviant path
i like dogs crossovers
i cant draw full body fights ok? i did this for fun cuz im switching fandoms continously
Also Willow is wearing non-graded glasses for the human disguise cuz she thinks is stylish
As usual, time for a little expansion after the Blaze burns out. ^_^ I actually had never intended to write Willuz content, but discovered midway through the scene where they first meet that I had crafted two versions of these characters who needed each other very badly. I take it as a major compliment how many people have admitted that they don't ship Willuz, but love the way I've written them. Of course, the fact that I'd begun this fic for Lumity content and still intend to make it happen does mean something's going to have to change, doesn't it? Maybe folks would be interested in reading along to find out how that develops...
A Kiss Beneath the Mistlefoe
In honor of chapter 13, Willow and Luz share their first kiss beneath the mistlefoe! After hearing how much Luz has gone through to be the person she is today, Willow gives in to her heart's desire. As you can see, her feelings are very much reciprocated. This scene is from my fanfic, Your Touch | Freedom to be Me, part of the Broken and Beloved AU. In this universe, Luz became homeless at an early age and spent several years on the run, only arriving in the Boiling Isles two years after the events of canon had already taken place. So much is different, but some universal constants remain... The artist behind this amazing piece is Gib.

Finally managed to get around to redrawing my favourite heartstopper panel with goldric!! I think it turned out pretty well :)

Me destroying canon relationships dynamics
More rough sketches part of my late redemption Hunter Au (canon divergent)
Hunter was able to take lead in forcing sigils upon the students and succeeded, now the day of unity stakes are higher. Luckily he isn’t like Adrian and at least provided them the matching sigils to their track…the multi-track students are given sigils based on the original chosen classes on record.
Now they will be affected by the draining spell, Hunter is convinced he did something for the greater good and is proud. This will cause so much conflict in the future.
Connected to this and this
Calling this AU late redemption Au for now and works will be tagged as such
Toh Hospital Au
(I’ve never actually watched any hospital dramas before)
This is just a adult human Au except with a focus on medicine
Luz, an oncologist, was determined to be one after the passing of her father.
Amity, pediatric rheumatologist, inspired by her own hand pain. Was originally going to be a dermatologist to make Odalia proud but met Luz in college after becoming roommates with her and changed her plans into a field she was actually passionate in. Pediatric because is Amity good with kids.
Vee is a RN in the ER. She good at adapting at different situations which is good for more high stake places like the ER. Her and Luz are sisters of course with Camila very proud of them both. She’s adopted. She didn’t want to go to medical school so decided on being a nurse instead. Worked in the hospital longer than Luz.
Gus is a patient advocate, he would be good very successful at his job and passionate on helping his clients receive the best treatment he can. He’s taken many clients with Luz.
Willow is sports medicine physician because it’s in her interest in athletics and helping others. She definitely still a plant addict and they cover her house and garden.
Hunter is a cytopathologist. He had a tough past (understatement) and was pretty isolated in college and medical school. He thought it would be the same in the hospital since he already took a no live patient job until he transferred to a different hospital and met Luz in the Cancer unit when diagnosing some patients. Where she invited him to hang out after work and they became friends along with the others.
They all look like older versions of their post-canon looks since they’re all in the mid 30s, except Gus who is like 31 to 32. Hunter still has his scars except their burn scars instead of possession ones. Luz and Amity are married and live together. Belos died sometime in Hunter stay in medical school and Amity, and her siblings are no contact with Odalia
Stringbean in a normal snake that Luz got from a rescue, Emmiline is a normal chameleon Gus recused, ghost is a normal cat Amity got in college, Clover is a bunny rescue( I’m not giving Willow a pet bee I’m sorry, instead her fathers do bee keeping as a hobby). Flapjack a cardinal that just lives with Hunter, like one day he showed and didn’t leave, he basically made Hunter his pet. Also Waffles does the same thing a few years later (because I love her). Flapjack lives longer than the average cardinal due to Hunter basically taking care of him. The other laugh when they find out he basically has two wild birds living with him.
Belos was pretty abusive to Hunter growing up until Hunter fled for college after realizing that it wasn’t right how he was treating him. He tried going no contact a few times but always broke it untill Belos eventually passed away while he was in medical school after succumbing to an illness. Belos was a successful pastor. (He was the owner one of those mega churches n stuff.) Hunters parents are Caleb and Evelyn. Caleb was killed by someone “unkown”, Evelyn died from an accidental overdose when Hunter was young, where Belos got custody of him rather than the Clawthorne family. The burn scars came from an “accident” in middle school for Hunter.
Gus went to high school early and had a hard time with people not taking him seriously in both school and even when doing his job ( no body cared in college) but was able it receive support from his friends and push forward.
They all met in college and became friends (except Hunter who went somewhere else). Amity and Willow here childhood friends before Amity began bullying her in middle school where they went to separate high schools. Gus and Willow met in high school and were also roommates in college.
Other notes,
Viney is a general practitioner, puddles is an absurdly large pigeon she has.
Emira is a paramedic.
Other characters are not in the medical field like Edric who’s a small animal veterinarian, Lilith who is a historian, and Eda who is a store owner.
Again this is basically my Human realm Au with emphasis on the medical field.
Figuring out Hunter and his staff in this au
Context, This Au of Hunter stayed loyal to Belos until the day of Unity where he then stayed with the collector instead of King.
Explanation for Au, 1st set of sketches
By the time this WAD equivalent is done with the puppets free, the collector on their side, dead Belos , they try to reach out and offer kindness to the ex Golden guard especially after he was just possessed but he pushes it away and runs away. He basically gone rogue for some bit. The others try to capture him out of fear of what other witches may do to him if they catch him instead and also because this mentally unstable teenager should not be on his own. He also has his old golden guard staff still.
The collector doesn’t help them try to find him due to their guilt of how they treated him.
Hunter of course slips out their grasps every time and is able to combat them. He can be pretty antagonistic. It doesn’t help that he stays near the boiling sea which he’s immune to, which he takes full advantage of.
CW Mentions of physical abuse and vomit
…
Based off this post of an Au where Hunter stays with Belos until the day of Unity
These sketches are based on the finale where Hunter was the one to stay with the collector instead.
1st sketch “Don’t act like you care” is Hunter denying help per usual. This context is after Luz kills Belos and try’s to speak to Hunter.
2st “Get away from me” Hunter vomiting after being possessed. The others try to to approach him but he shoots down all attempts
3rd “I’m so sorry!I didn’t realize threatening to hit you was bad! I just wanted to play! I must be bad like Belos since he hit you all the time! “…It’s fine…” The collector apologizing to Hunter for his treatment during the game. The collector never hit Hunter but he did threaten to similar to the way he threatened people in canon, except with physical violence. Repeat, they never actually hit Hunter. The collector witness quite a bit of the abuse that Hunter went through in the hands of Belos. Hunter says it’s fine but he’s more concerned by the group of people watching (Luz, King, Eda, Amity, Gus, and Willow
4th, just a grumpy little Hunter
Thinking if a version of TOH where Hunter stays loyal to Belos until the day of unity.
(AKA me making Hunter suffer more in the hands of brainwashing and making everyone hate him.)
[sorry for any grammar mistakes I’ll edit this later.]
That Hunting Palismen was a successful mission for him, he never answered Luz’s question and was able to escape the hand dragon with his staff and the palismen. Flapjack escapes however and flys off to Luz but the rest of the palismen are handed to Belos. Flapjack feels a tug towards Hunter but can’t bond with him due to a wish never being shared between the two. Hunter is praised for his success by Belos. Luz resents the Golden Guard even more now due to the fact that now all those palismen will now be given to the emperor. She definitely feels guilty for those palismen eventual deaths.
Flapjack stays with Luz but doesn’t bond to her. He allows her to use him in his staff form but they have no real connection and can’t communicate. He more or less just lingers around the owl house and will follow her if asked. It’s an odd situation but it’s not totally unheard of and unbonded witch and palismen working together.
Eclipse lake happened but since theirs no failed missions that waver Belos any thoughts on his competence to do the mission, he’s allowed to go. He goes ahead without kikimora and the scouts, meets Amity and Eda at the fools blood where he becomes known but beats them to the empty lake. Once Amity arrives he does not having the same mental breakdown as before since their are no previous failures to trigger it but he is a bit on edge. Him and Amity exchange brief words with her being hostile due to how upset Luz was left after the palismen incident. He states that it was just part of the job and before he leaves he spots the necklace. They fight but he has the upper hand due to having his artificial staff. He demands for the blood and she gives it to him but is still able to break some on to her glove.
(I personally don’t know if Belos didn’t want to let him go to Eclipse lake because of the failures or if he didn’t want to risk his grimwalker being killed or harmed in it but for the sake of the story it’s due to thinking that Hunter was incompetent)
With the lack of Flapjack telling him to focus on other stuff, Hunter only drowns deeper into his loyalty to Belos. As a result he has no interest in appeasing the Coven heads since he realizes more that he’s technically above them. Therefore he grows no bond with Darius. And Darius only views him as Belos little dog.
Any sport in a storm does not happen. Instead Hunter spends his free time resting (only because the day of Unity is getting closer) and practicing his infiltrating and lying techniques due to the rumors of a rebellion. He goes to the library to further research. He sees a book on grimwalker when learning about these techniques but it’s only fairy tail stuff, surface level but it does say that they are made up of dead things, Hunter shrugs and continues going through the library. However grimwalkers are now in his subconscious
Hollow mind, Hunter confronts Darius, Eberwolf, and Raine like in canon and Luz interferes like canon but more out of aggression then curiosity. She doesn’t tackle him but steers his attention away giving the other three a chance to runaway. He traps her in a bubble kinda like how Lilith did and flapjack tries pecking him but he he just traps the bird in his wood form. As result he doesn’t step on the potion and recognizes the the set up as an attempt into the emperors mind. He confiscates the potion as evidence. He reports this to captains and scouts over crow phone in quick alert so they can come over and search the market. He argues with Luz for a bit before taking flapjack away much to Luz horror. I imagine in a sonewhat humiliating scene for Luz, that he transports her to Eda in the bubble in the night market in front of others to see. It has to be embarrassing for the Golden Guard to return you to your guardian who was once a wanted criminal in a bubble in front of many others to see. Resentment from Luz and her friends to the Golden guard only grows. King sees that the Golden Guard has a wooden Flapjack and is able to secretly grab the bird under his cloak, saving the palismen.
The night market is searched and the news of the attempt to infiltrate the emperors mind is let known to Belos. He proud of Hunter for not allowing such a thing to happen but also disappointed that the witches responsible were not caught. Hunter gets punished for this and is left with a scar through his eyebrow. He swears to catch them and bring them to justice to Belos. The rebellion has a new specific enemy. Belos tells him he better not fail.
Labyrinth Runners, Hunter is put with Adrian to infiltrate Hexside and stamp the students with sigils. He sets up an invisible forcefield around the school to prevent anyone from escaping. He helps with the illusion so a few student get the “fake” sigil before Gus sees and reveals the illusions. Gus sets up the large illusion that covers the school. Adrain paired with the golden guard reveal the illusion and are able to catch more students and sigil them. Gus eventually gets caught and Hunter who’s more interested and following orders then be petty has Gus be stamped before the whole, “making Gus see his memories” thing happens, it’s still happeneds but he gets stamped before hand. The fight breaks out and while the students can handle fighting scouts, when face against the Golden guard with his artificial staff and military order do they falter. Eventually everyone in Hexside gets sigils including Willow and Amity. It’s a failure for Hexside and a win for the emperors coven. Soon all the schools besides Hexside has their students be given sigils.
O titan, Where Art Thou, While not in the episode, The Golden is brought up in discussion when talking about the topic of day of unity, Belos and the draining spell. They all view him as in obstacle and the obedient brat of Belos.
Clouds on the Horizon, Luz gets the news that students have been given sigils including her friends and girlfriend. This only makes the plan to stop the drawing spell more dire as now children are involved too. They also get the news that a coven head the golden guard are to blame which only fuels the hatred. Luz meets up with her friends but the atmosphere is tense due to the fact that they have sigils now. They break amity out of her house. Luz has some help thanks to flapjack. They don’t face kikimora since Hunter is still in the emperors coven. She probably off dealing with some packages and goods since she’s been demoted. Hunter in the meantime is with the scouts capturing the finale of the wild witches and given them sigils. They all fight and leave Odalia and leave on the blimp with Alador. Luz is not taken to Belos.
Kings tide, the plan is being done. News of most of the isles being stamped including children and all wild witches make it to them and things become tense. The golden Guard walks besides Belos. Darius stares at him for a moment, looking at the person who wears the golden guard uniform but is nothing like the man who did before. Kikimora not there so that whole bit with her doesn’t happen. Belos quickly gets rid of the collector. That whole sequence with Luz never happens. Belos doesn’t get his sigil and will remain stable. Eda gets found out and the golden guard along side the coven members stop the plan. Hunter makes a snarky comment. Belos in there and simply watches, Hunter returns to his side. Belos pats Hunter on top of the head, agitating the rebellion adults more. He really is a dog. The eclipse happeneds and the spell begins.
The draing spell takes effect. Hunter collapses to his knees and looks up to Belos in utter betrayal and confusion. The rumors that the day of unity was actually a doomsday was…true? He questions Belos and Belos simply smiles at him. He bends down and pulls down Hunter mask and flicks his cowlick. He tells Hunter that he’s been a very good grimwalker and was the best he ever had. That it’s a shame he can’t take him to the human realm due to his witchy assets. He grabs Hunter face in an almost affectionate way and tells him that he wished Caleb was more like him and it’s sad that he has to die. He slips Hunters mask back on and leaves to go to the portal and Hunter is left there on his knees shaking and in shock. The kids go up the podium stand not for Luz this time but for the adults, they see them crumbled.
They also see the Golden guard. They are met with him shaking on the ground. They note on how small he looks. They stare at him for a moment. He’s the only one of the emperor coven members conscious. He looks up them “I…I did-didn’t know this would happens.” They would say something but they don’t have the time. They all weak due to the sigils and are running out of time. They go to Eda before going down to where the portal is. Hunter in moment of strength grabs his staff, gets up and teleports away into the portal room.
Just as the he other see Belos about to leave, amity grabs him with her abominations hand and pulls him away, in this rush, Belos second form appears. They fight the beast like in canon and where he thinks he gets the upper hand, Golden guard appears and blasts Belos. They are shocked by the appearance of the golden guard. Hunter may be loyal to Belos but not enough to warrant the death of everyone in the isles. In rush of the moment to keep Belos away from the portal, he teleports every one down to the ground to the golden guard pit and to the collector. He stops fighting and just stares at the out in horror and so does everyone else. The collector shadow appears.
Belos tries escaping but the others get their attention back and continue to fight. Luz and flapjack are mainly the ones fighting with the other supporting due to them being effected by the drawing spell. King is letting the collector free. In the moment if the chaos Hunter turns over and blasts Belos with the upmost power he could muster that’s practically vaporizing and splatters Belos all over the place. He hit with the ‘splash zone’ everyone just stares at him in shock.
The golden guard has killed Belos. The collector now free boos at this saying he wanted to do that. Though does congratulate him on being the first grimwalker to win against Belos in the grimwalker cycle game. All the other Grimwalkers lost except him. This reveals the Golden guard to be a grimwalker. He asks the other what game to play and the owl house game comes up but first he must stop the draining spell, the collector laughs and teleports them up and moves the eclipse. Then the game starts and in the rush of the moment once they realize what’s going to happen they escape to the portal.
Instead of Hunter going through, King is able to escape with them. Flapjack gets left behind, too distracted by Hunter. The Golden Guard simply stays in too much shock to move, the portal closes and the collector laments that fact that he just lost his playing partner, he looks at Hunter and decides that a grimwalker will do. That he never has the chance to play with a grimwalker before because Belos breaks them before he gets the chance so this should be fun. He asks Hunter how to play the owl house game.
Hunter knows nothing of the owl house
…
Possible ending. (That I Like)
Belos posses Hunter soon after he recovers inside him a bit to get to the collector. At the same time the others come in a lot sooner after thanks to King being a titan. Probably only a month or less. The whole issue gets resolved a lot sooner but now they have to fight a possessed Hunter once they reach the collector. The fight I imagine is harsher then in canon due to them not knowing g Hunter besides all the bad stuff he did and splattering Belos. In the end Belos is forcefully ripped out of Hunter by the collector, and is killed by Luz officially. Flapjack gets to live due to Hunter not drowning in this version. They simply stare at Hunter awhile as he gets up, they never seen his face before when he wasn’t possessed and now they are met with an exhausted scarred teenager, a teenager they all hated because what he did and stood for and all they can feel now was a sense of pity. Luz offers her hand, he accepts.
Eventually everyone is free from being puppets. The rebellion crew come around and they see the Golden guard. A scarred, traumatized teenager. Darius offers kindness for once, Hunter shakily accepts it.
Second possible ending
Hunter gets possessed during the final fight and Belos is rid of sooner by the collector. The ending is mainly focused on the collector now that Belos is gone. Also the fact that Hunter gets possession trauma sooner than season 3
Alternative endings.
1. King is left behind in canon and Hunter remains with him to be with the collector and they develop a bond together since they a both playmates for the collector.
2. King is left behind and the golden guard is sent off with the other. This much more messed up version of Thanks to Them. Now they have to navigate an extremely strain a hostile relationship with Hunter and the others. Hunter face gets revealed forcefully, showing that he just a tired and scarred teen who is also powerless they find out later when his staff is no longer working. Things are pretty intense. Camila of course being the bridge between them since she just see Hunter as a clearly abused teenager who’s also done wrong. (I really like this idea, I wish we saw more of the hexsquad being hostile with a Hunter they barely know.) (this gives me a dog left behind vibes)
3. No possession , Belos dies and stays dead.
Other alternative versions
1. Hunter doesn’t teleport to the portal room which results in the collector being let out a different way, many probably die due to it taking longer
2. Belos takes Hunter with him to the Human realm
3.. The rebellion decide to deal with the golden guard ahead of time so he gets kidnapped, (insert found family thing, or really intense whump) (fun idea to explore)
4. Hollow mind does happen somehow which leads to the events being similar in canon and Hunter bonding with flapjack later. (Closer to canon story )
5. Darius, Raine and Eberwolf decide to fight the Golden Guard instead of running away, (not a pretty sight )
6. The Golden guard gets defeated during labyrinth Runners, it’s revealed that he’s a powerless witch and is also a beat up teenager. (Angsty wowie) this pretty much Hunter being captured by a bunch of teenagers (many who he forcefully gave sigils to)and teacher. (This idea seems the most fun to explore to me)
7. Flapjack dies in hunting palismen cause he gets given to Belos , so no flapjack :(
8. Hunter going more rogue, being more like an Azula then Zuko. Like more murder n stuff. (Pretty OOC but another idea I want to explore)
Yeah, just a some fun idea I wanted to write, I think of scenarios with Hunter not meeting the hexsquad like in canon a lot so I wanted to write down what I think would happen plus some extra ideas.
Also I love seeing my boy get hurt. Why do we do this to our faves lol. I don’t have the motivation to write an actual fanfic of this so here just the gist of it. I might write oneshots based on it though. We’ll see.
I also wrote this earlier but the original draft got deleted :’)
AU where the coven heads actually get along…sort of.
They’re all still awful people but they realize they get more out of working together rather than against. They don’t quite like each other but theirs no bad blood. They all hang out and be lil bitches together.
They even let Hunter hang out with them due to the fact that he’s so good at acting like an adult (as sad as that is), a ‘bratty’ one but he does know a lot.
Rather then just brushing Hunter off as some brat like in canon, they see the potential in him and think ‘yeah we can make this kid into an absolute beast’
It’s mainly to have him do their dirty or difficult work for them but they also grow fond of him.
Idk I just want to give Hunter a dysfunctional family out of the Coven heads
Extra:
Hettie teaches Hunter anatomy so he knows where to hit his enemies and healing spells to heal himself and scouts he works with.
Darius teaches Hunter how to sew like in canon but sooner and teaches him all sorts of abomination magic like the translocation.
Vitimir teaches him all sorts of potions and how to incorporate them in fighting. He also teaches Hunter potion tolerance and how to resist certain ones and mithridatism
Adrian teaches him some illusions and even acting skills so Hunter becomes a better liar.
Eberwolf brings him out to catch and train with beasts. They bring him all sorts of bugs and little critters. Hunter often goes on retrieval missions to bring Eber stuff for the beasts he keeps.
Terra let’s him hang out at the garden and green house and teaches him all sorts of Botany and plant magic. She likes info dumping on him.
The previous Bard and Riane teach him Bard magic. Hunter summons his own violin.
Orsan teaches oracle magic to him but mainly likes to teach Hunter mind games
Mason teaches Hunter construction magic and how to use to use it to fight and fix damage done after a fight.
Lilith though jealous and annoyed, still recommends him all sorts of book and in good moments they info dump on each other
A lot of theses skills I think Hunter would have in canon like the anatomy and potion thing but he had to learn those on his own. In this Au the Coven heads are actually bothered to teach him.
Due to these changes Hunter is more comfortable with doing all sorts of combo magic like how we see Lilith does in the shows. He also carries a belt of potions with him. Certain stuff in the show goes different as well since he does form a bond sooner with Darius and Adrian.
The coven heads aren’t aware he doesn’t have a bile sac they just think he has a weak one. They help him learn how to translate their spells into his staff spells.
They all still can be cruel to Hunter like Adrain’s and Darius cruel jabs at him or Terra giving him plants that can harm him (like tea that makes him hallucinate ). They still do some back stabbing but overall they are less worse then in canon.
Though any signs abuse from Belos they chalk up to being from missions or reckless.
I think this gives them some fun depth. Like yeah they are all messed up but they are messed up together.
(Sorry if any grammar issues )
Hunter AU
A sneak peak sketch of an au of Hunter!
I’m currently naming it DOG Au but that might change in this future.
In this Au, Belos previous Golden Guard had lasted 27 years, with Belos truly believing that he was the ‘one’, only for the Guard to betray him. This is the most emotion and even hurt Belos has felt in decades and as he results he vows that the next one will be perfect. As a result he raises Hunter differently then his previous Grimwalkers. For starters, that Hunter is created at age 3 unlike the young adults of before.
Belos and Hunter are also closer in this au (for the worst) With Hunter no longer just being his right hand man but also the man’s eyes and hands in general. Which is him essentially doing more of the messy work then shown in canon. With Belos teaching Hunter more things (including personal ) then in Canon. He teaches Hunter how to replicate bile magic with his staff along side staff exclusive magic, potions, and even glyphs. He tells Hunter that only he the Emperor and the Golden Guard are permitted to use true wild magic as they are the only ones that can maintain it. He still doesn’t let Hunter use wild magic to help his curse still.
Hunter is aware he’s a Grimwalker.
However, no one besides Belos knows Hunters face in this, not even the coven heads like in canon. Hunter was also a lot more isolated in his childhood with him only appearing for scout training at age 11 for scout training and passing with flying colors ( beating record set by Lilith) Before Hunter was raised and taught by Belos only, essentially messing him up during his primary developing years. Only after he was 11 was he allowed high end tutors and training outside of Belos. He officially became Golden guard at 13.
Hunter is still a dork in this au but he was taught more masking and manipulations skills by Belos. He did a lot of Belos dirty work and is overall more ruthless with the hopes of being the perfect grimwalker. He still acts similar then in canon but with a additional layer of grime to him.
Canon events in the show involving Hunter play out quite differently in this AU
A more detailed explanation when I actually finish these drawings lol
Here’s a sketch of his suit in this AU
LOOKY LOOKY
"You always have a way of sneaking into peoples' hearts"

So uh *vomits cursed Raine AU on you*. I don't have a normal witch design yet but it's similar to canon. The beast is meant to be a fox (or at least fox-like) and it's a little inspired by Haku from Spirited Away.
I imagine this Raine would be a wild witch like Eda, just less public about it. Lemme know what you think about it ^.^
Luz and Lilith Au!
So here’s Luz from my Raven Lady AU. Lilith was cursed in this Au but Eda is still a wild witch and Lilith just joined the potions coven. Luz not actually a witch in this, she just uses a form-altering potion because Lilith didn't want people to know her “apprentice” is a human. So the ears aren't an illusion, but she has to drink it everyday to keep them. Lilith doesn't actually think Luz can learn magic but she's lonely and needs help around the house. Luz discovers glyphs wayyyy later but she is proficient in potions. (the potion can't give her a bilesack because that would be more complex and require stronger ingredients and could be dangerous. Ears are simple.) She’s interested in wild magic but Lilith won’t let her.
Luz definitely asked for cat ears and tail, and Lilith had to decline. :3
LOREE
some lore pages ive made on abomination magic and hexside school respectively!
he's really just a chill guy
Evil Luz vs. Emperor Belos
Watching Azura to past time
Another scene of A Few More Seconds in wich Luz has to wait before coming back to the Demon Realm so she won't create a paradox so she and Orion (Papa Titan) decided to make an Azura maraton :D
Isn't the best backgroung ngl (got tired on the right side, clearly) and I decided to use a Screenshot of WD, so I just erased the characters :3
The link for the Fic if ur interested:
A little fanart for a Fic
Just here advertising fics with Titan Luz and posting art stuff, don't mind me.
And yes, the purple spots on Luz's fur is blood <3 Also, Luz have a red spot on her pupils to sympolize her connection to Collie, her eyes are usually golden with a brown spot on the design
Also, here's the fic link, it's really good, I promise. The creator is Baboulinet on Ao3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/53058355/chapters/134238388
Edit: I fixed a Typo since the author isn't in Tumblr, I'm sorry for everyone that tried to find them here on tumblr :/
I decided to change Golden Guard Shoto’s hair style. So instead of this:
He now has what I think is a more professional look to him. I think it also reflects the character arc he’s supposed to go through. The original hairstyle feels more “childlike” which is in quotations because I couldn’t find a better word for it. He looks more like a professional soldier with his hair slicked back, he’s always on the job and there is no time for him to really have a childhood. After he runs away from AFO and after the events of King’s Tide in this AU, he now has a chance to experience bite and pieces of the childhood he never got to have. Then after the death of his palisman ( i don’t know if it will still be Flapjack or a different animal) he kinda reverts back to the new hairstyle.
I might redesign some of the characters I’ve done for this au.
the funni cat game but now they're magik
