do you have any aus for Wulf and Ronan? like cafe or human au?
I do! I have a bunch floating around in my head but the main ones are;
Modern au: So in this AU Ronan is the constantly stressed CEO of some big tech company. He just got out of a very nasty divorce to one Lythir Nolastnamecauseihaventthoughtofone, a fellow hyper intelligent tech mogul. Things were relatively ok between them, Ronan was constantly away due to the pressures of the company but Lythir seemed to take that in stride and they happily spent every second they could steal away together. Then Mreen was born and things took a turn for the worst, Lyhtir had assumed that after the birth Ronan would slow down and spend more time being a "proper" spouce. But he didn't and what little time he had away from the company he used to now lavish attention on the baby instead of Lythir. Lythir grew jealous and they started having fights until eventually Ronan demanded a divorce which only recently got finalized.
Wulf on the other hand is a preschool teacher, and tbh much less traumatized that his main au version. Here his parents are alive as there was no war to kill his father(though he is still a veteran) and they live happily in his old town. He visits them for the holidays. It’s very sweet. He never became a politician, but he still is incredibly liberal and is an activist in his free time. I haven’t figured out exactly what he went to college for, but it was something in the science field. Maybe green energy? He got his degree, went into the field and spent a few years being super fucking depressed that everything was controlled by mega corporations and focused on profit not helping people. So one day he just…quits. And decides he’s gonna do something that will actually help change the world. So now he works as a preschool teacher, going to school part time to get his full teaching degree. And somewhere along the way he acquires Dor as a foster child. Idk how yet.
The babies ofc go to Wulf’s school and become best friends. They find out both their dads are single and lonely and are like parent trap mode engaged
Hadestown/God au: So basically, it’s Industrial Revolution time. Due to lack of worship the gods have been slowly dying off.
Ronan is the beloved son on the Queen of the gods and for his safety was given the realm of death. As his mother knew that as long as there were mortals there would be worshipers of death. But young Ronan did not understand this and grew lonesome in his grand underground. Eventually his mother gave him a minor god to soothe his loneliness. There were fewer sunbeams on the surface but no one seemed to notice. And they were happy for a time. But the world grew older and people stopped believing in magic. One by one the great gods faded into obscurity and Wulf was called back to the surface.
Long ago Wulf was a small, inconsequential god of gentle sunbeams. But as the other gods started dying those used to little to no worship gained power and eventually he was god of the sun and spring time itself. Ronan begged him not to go but he left him alone all spring and summer because he understood how important his job was even if it meant leaving the person he loved most in the world.
But Ronan could not understand that and grew bitter in his loneliness. Assumed that Wulf only left because he wasn’t enough for him. So he threw himself into trying to win his husband back, using the labor of his army of souls ofc, which only angered Wulf on his winter return. Wulf then goes behind his back and starts a union. Idk how the story gets there but it ends with both of them coming to the understanding that they need to fucking communicate better because everything they did was for one another.
Sugarbaby AU: The least developed of my "main aus", kind of an off shoot of the modern au because I can't be assed to come up with TWO different big tech companies tbh. But there's no babies and no divorce. Ronan's older brother Orion -who is lovely but also the kind of allosexual who is like "depression? nah man you just need to get laid"- takes him to a strip club to do just that. Wulf, drowning in student debt, has taken up sex work(which is perfectly legal and respected in this world) and is there at the club, sees a pretty man and approaches. Ronan, seeing an out, takes him up on the offer and immediately takes him to his hastily bought hotel room. Once there, Ronan apologizes and explains the situation, offering to pay extra for his time and silence. Wulf laughs it off and instead of fucking the two stay in the room talking way longer than planned and when Ronan comes out he's too embarrassed to tell his brother the truth(also he actually does find he likes Wulf in a platonic "we'd be good friends" way) and lets him assume they fucked. Orion takes that as permission to keep bringing Ronan to this club and Ronan keeps having to pay Wulf to talk while quickly falling in love with man. Eventually they reach a point where...instead of confessing his feelings Ronan does his dumbass rich boy thing and is like "I want to pay you be exclusive" and Wulf gets to be his spoiled in home boyfriend while secretly waiting for the day Ronan finally gets bored of him. Even if he desperately wants to stay forever.
