I accidentally changed the photo to a Tumblr post so that's gonna be a placeholder until I draw something myself lmao
Don't mind if this is bad, I'm still a beginner. If you notice any mistakes or cringey writing, please give constructive criticism! About 60% of these scenes are improvised, oof
This is an angsty role swap AU! I will have TWs before each chapter, but general warnings are: Violence, death, abuse, and swearing. The swearing might be censored, but still.
I'm going to make you suffer to find out who Dream gets swapped with lol
Edit: Ah f*ck, pain and suffering and writing block
Update: I'm going to write the other chapters in drafts so I can write while I'm getting over self consciousness lol, if you're waiting for me, it might take me a good 3 months or so 😅
Anyways, here, have ✨context✨
Sapnap takes Dream's place in stuff such as the disc war, but he is not the main swap.
The SMP is never referred to as the Dream SMP in narration and dialogue because nobody owns the SMP in this AU.
As you can see in the first few paragraphs, Dream is swapped with an innocent character. :)
There's a lot of mini swaps in this, such as Tommy and Techno.
Original characters/OCS: Zodiac, Brazen, Mandie (sorry not sorry for slight self insert lol), and Pleximi. More to be added most likely.
Family stuff: Puffy, Zodiac, and Schlatt are siblings. Schlatt fathers Tubbo, and Puffy mothers/fathers Drista (she's a normal, mortal human here), Dream, and Foolish.
Another thing about Puffy and Foolish, I headcannon that it's an inside joke between them because the bio father was a b*tch and Puffy divorced him, so now Puffy basically takes both the motherly and fatherly role lol
More to be added, I've drained myself of all brain cells for the day
rory has everything-money, beauty, brains, and talent.
at just fourteen, she's already a rising star at arsenal's u17 academy, with dreams of playing for the first team and the lionesses. she's the kind of girl who shines on and off the pitch, always smiling, always pushing forward.
but behind the perfect image is a girl who's had to raise herself. the daughter of a top ceo and a fashion designer, rory has never known what it's like to be truly seen by her parents.
they provide everything-except love. their absence, their coldness, their indifference-it's all she's ever known.
so rory has learned to be her own light. she pours everything into football, into school, into becoming something worth noticing.
and then, one evening after training, jonas eidevall, arsenal's first-team manager, tells her he wants her to train with the senior squad.
just like that, her dream inches closer to reality.
but as rory steps into a world where talent is only half the battle, where pressure builds and expectations rise, she must navigate more than just the game.
because being a star on the pitch is easy.
but learning to let people in? learning that she is enough, even without proving herself?
that might be the hardest thing she's ever had to do.
