I should be sleeping but instead I am writing up this post because I can't sleep.
About this crossover au that nobody but me gives a shit about. And ya know what. Good for me. To give the quick run down before I go full explation to this au. Basically I just throw the sides from sander sides into the dndads universe and that's about it.
I used to be super hyperfixated on sander sides and now am on dndads. So why not do crossover. The other basic premise is that each side (or sides in the twins case) are also kind of assigned to one of the families.
Which will be explained in the full post below the keep reading mark.
So full explanation. You wanted to actually read this, huh?
Damn. Time for a very long post.
Also I will explain not only the family assignment but also kinda how shit goes ig? This au is kinda just me messing around and also being like. "Damn, Virgil is fun to write and honestly would be fun to just exist."
So we'll start with the obvious.
And that is the Oak-Garica family and Remus & Roman. Because Lark and Sparrow are twins and so are the creativity twins. Also because the Oak-Garica twins are very creative (they burnt down their first school, the damage was limited to only one or two classrooms but still.) With the creative twins, they act as the lord of chaos's right hand men. Also, as guards. It is very silly for the prince and Duke of creativity to be guards and right-hand men instead of royalty. But it is very fun. These two become very protective of the Oak-Garica twins while at the ravenloft castle.
Got not much else to say for the twins and the twins. We will get to the s2 group later, as that will be easier to do it that way.
Now. We go to the stampler family and Virgil. This isn't just because of the purple color schemes between the two (it kind of was when I first made this crossover idea in my brain.) But in all seriousness. He and Terry Jr. are in the French town which name I have forgotten now. Virgil acts as Terry's guard, very similarly to the twins. But until the twins, is willing to actually harm the dads (+ the mystery side that'll be revealed later.) He tries to stop the dads from stopping Terry Jr. from going to the Astral plane, which he fails at. At Ravenloft, he tries to create a very paranoid atmosphere for the o-dads. However it does affect everybody else so he doesn't do it often, not wanting to affect everybody else with it.
Moving on. We go to the Wilson family and Patton. Those who know sander sides and/or those who know dndads may feel this decision weird. Patton is very kind by nature which is very Wilson. However Grant was ya know, in a murder game. So it feels like an odd choice. However I feel it was a good choice as Patton, despite probably not wanting to kill others, would probably do so if necessary. During the for knights (fortnite) arc and all, Patton is staying with Grant and watching over the kid. Patton is very kind and feels like leaving a kid who is maybe at the most 13, maybe 14, alone would be a horrible idea. During the time in the castle, he tries to talk to Grant during it. Failing miserably however. But he tries.
Moving on once again. It's now the Close family and Janus. I decided on this one because of how different Nick Close and Nicholas Foster was. And I felt like out of the remaining sides, Janus fit the Close family more than the Foster's. Janus is all for the watermice thing. He also 100% agrees with the falsehood (very fun word and reference) that your piss can stop you from passing out, because ya know. Deceit, crazy to think that we used to not know his name, I thought that he would've been called Ethel. Anyways. At Ravenloft, he kinda just glares at Virgil the whole time. He knows Nick can handle himself, so he really doesn't act like a guard or protector towards him.
Moving onto the final family and side. The Foster family and Logan. However I will note that Logan stays with the dads the whole time. In the Close timeline, he is with the dads. Probably the only reasonable one. However in the foster timeline. He stayed with Nicholas the whole time. Anyways. Logan stays with the party, trying to act reasonable to everybody else's dumbassry. He already deals with Remus, what's 4 more dumbasses? (a lot, it sucks.)
Now before we get to the s2 group, there is a few things that I need to talk about.
Like their classes.
Logan - Wizard, despite how squishy they are. The fact they use learnt knowledge for magic felt really right for Logan. He's logic, and also the smart one. Very book smart, not very street smart. However he needs to use an actual weapon, he will straight up smack somebody with a book.
Janus - Rouge, he's very sneaky. Sneaky snake boy, which is what he has been called canonically once for those who have never seen sander sides. (I am so sorry to my dndads mutals, and any dndads fans that see this.) Janus uses disguise Self a lot (he did technically disguised himself as both Patton and Logan before.)
Patton - It's a very heavy decision between Barbarian or Druid. On one hand, with Barbarian, the whole rage and trying to always seem happy thing works really well. However, with Druid, Patton could turn into dogs. So, like, It's really difficult. So he could also multi-class, that works easier. However down side for both. Barbarian downside, Daryl is already one and it kind of just sucks. And downside to Druid, Henry is already a Druid and the two of them kinda look similar outfit wise.
Virgil - He's a Warlock. Funny because Scary is also a Warlock, so like. He can be a mentor or whatever. He's a Warlock, however he uses an actual weapon besides his magic. His weapon of choice, probably a knife. Or a spear. Something stabby, let him stab people 2023. (Let Virgil stab others in 2023.)
Remus - Paladin. He would be a fighter if it wasn't for the fact he is in fact probably magical. So yeah, what is his oath? Who knows. (Probably oathbreaker paladin but still.) His weapon of choice would be his morning star, which isn't on a chain. It's not a ball and chain weapon.
Roman - Roman is also a paladin. I could've gone fighter as well here. However once again, magic. His oath is kinda unknown as all dnd oaths for paladins suck /hj. Not really, they just don't fit him really. His weapon of choice would be his sword.
Classes out of the way. How the sides feel about the dads or how they do in this au. Or npc characters I wanna mention lmao.
Logan finds all of the dads sometimes very dumb, however he doesn't think they're 100% stupid. Just have some times where they don't think like at all. With Jodie, he doesn't find him as dumb, as Jodie has more common sense than the dads. Well until the whole flash bang thing but still. He does like the dads, just thinks they can very dumb at times.
Remus likes the dads well enough, finds them a bit boring however. He's a wild card and enjoys the same energy back. He does find Scam cool though, chaotic good and chaotic neutral get along. However he does think Well Actually can straight up die, I don't blame him. Rules lawyers to somebody who is extremely creative would to make me want that.
Roman likes the dads as well. Not much to say. He likes that they can handle themselves in battle I'd guess.
Janus finds the dads entertaining. He also doesn't have much for me to say about the dads. He does like Scam quite a lot. Finding the guy fun, cause ya know. Scams and Deceit go hand in hand. So of course they get along, mostly. Janus also like Well Actually, finding it fun to annoy the shit out of him.
Patton loves the dads. He likes how Daryl is strong and protective. He likes how Henry gets things done. He doesn't have much to say. He kind of ignores how the dads can be bad parents. He finds them great company and enjoys them. He also sucks at telling himself that they do in fact have negative traits, because that is admitting that dads can suck. Which is something he rather not think about, he tries to be a good dad. Despite having no children.
Virgil finds them tolerable at best. Kidding, he actually does like them. The original idea for this au, also includes him flirting with Glenn. I don't know why I decided that. However I decided to keep it because it's very silly. Also because it let's me make Virgil confident and shit instead of how some of the Sander Sides fandom treats him... like he's an uwu anxious baby (wow, is there somebody like that in dndads fandom? Yeah. It's Ron.) However I haven't figured if they [Glenn and Virgil] actually started a relationship or kinda just had romantic tension and it goes nowhere. And it sucks. Also Virgil finds Ron to be cool, which is nice.
Now that's done. Finally.
We can get to some talk about the s2 group. And a little info into how the sides now interact with the world since s1.
The sides have been stuck in this universe for now 25 some years. They have accepted this, so they now live as if they are just normal people.
They're family friends of their "assigned" family. (Minus Virgil, he just decided that he's now just Ron's brother now.)
Everybody has taken a fake last name to throw anybody off their trail. With Virgil taking his now adoptive brother's.
The twins figure out a name that seems royal enough. Patton takes Hart because basic ass bitch I am and it's just a good last name. Idk for Logan yet. And Janus is an oddball and idk as well, he could pass as a Likely family member if he wanted to honestly.
Now how they feel about the teens, mostly parental or mentor like. And also how they interact with the family they are "family friends" with teen. (Also with npcs I wanna mention)
Logan sees the teens as teenagers. They can be dumb and idiotic and very impulsive. He understands that, however it makes him worry for them sometimes. He thinks Taylor's obsession with anime a bit concerning. He gets along with Cassandra well, the both of them often holding intellectual conversations at like 2 in the morning. Both very sleep deprived.
Remus sees the teens with the fact that the world is very fucked up at this point and they need therapy. He does enjoy how creative they can all get, teens have some of the most twisted minds. He thinks the fact Normal is a mascot kid is pretty cool. He did wish that the devil mascot won because it'd be more fun. However he does enjoy telling Normal about fun ideas for the Teeny fanfics, most getting shot down. How he interacts with either of Normal's parents is with slight malice to the fact they keep pushing Normal's creativity down. It upsets him.
Roman thinks that the teens need to go to therapy, just like his brother. Similarly to Remus, he likes that Normal is a mascot kid. He also gives suggestions, however he doesn't get shot down as much. He also treats Normal's parents with malice for shutting down creativity and also not being proud of Normal. Like ow, that hurts.
Janus thinks the teens need to be more honest. Which is shocking coming from him. He loves a good lie but lying all the time can ruin how you feel about yourself. He actually doesn't really spend time with one family, as he doesn't really want to. However he mostly stays with the Swift family. He also likes having intelligent conversations with Cassandra and Logan. However they are usually all sleep deprived during these conversations.
Patton is very concerned for the teens. He stays with the Li-Wilson's. Lincoln concerns him the most for a while, as the kid has no friends. He interacts with Link's parents decently well. He does push for Link to actually go to school because social interaction is important for kids.
Virgil thinks the teens are cool, maybe extremely anxious but still cool. He is concerned for Scary for the fact she is being manipulated by Willy, however if he tried to tell her. She would start to extremely distrust him. So instead he goes along with the fact that Willy is "good." He is trying to help Scary the best he can, as Scary reminds him a lot of himself. God the parallels between the stamplers and Virgil, damn. Anyways. He also finds Veronica cool and thinks Scary should stop being mad at her. Same with Terry, even if Terry can be a total loser (/pos) at times.
And that's kinda the whole post. However, one last note.
The sides thinks Normal and Hermie deserve to be happy instead of sad as fuck. However, teen romance normally doesn't work out, so they're also worried that Normal will get his heart broken.
They're proud parents basically, who just worry for their kids (the teens). But also kind of just mentors but also parents.
So end of post. I am so sorry for how long this is. It was not worth it to read the whole thing. Sorry.
Anyways. Thank you for reading this long ass post. And dealing with this bullshit.
Also, sorry to those who found this via the tags. I need to tag the post for easy finding on my blog and also for reach.
I will maybe have more stuff for this bullshit au at a later date. Maybe Glenn and Virgil flirting fic. Maybe fanart with the two sets of twins being cool and twinning.
Anyways. Good day/night/time of day everybody. And thank you for reading this whole post!
