#Brainstormed some ideas to make dat obligatory swap au

[fruit-sy]

Reverse!Shot

The obligatory AU where the characters are swapped with their opposites! I haven't seen any works with this trope yet suprisingly, apart from a couple of characters (that I know of, at least)...

Had a lil burst of ideas after mulling over some fanfiction I read, and I started doodling away at my post it notes. Ideas that I thought were cool were thrown in to the mix, some may make sense, maybe it won't

Anyways, here are my headcanons for a "Swap" AU thing

Niko controls/guides player

Niko is a god, trapped in a room of clouds

Niko has cool god accessories because why the hell not?

Takes place after the first session

If it were in game form, Reverse shot is a first person POV game.

It's like, as if it really were "us" who switched places with Niko. The appearance of User is up to anyone's interpretation.

Uh, so kinda like a visual novel?

Though, I also base it on Rusty Lake's cube games. Their games, at their base, are room escape puzzle games. Though, elements of surreal imagery, horror, and symbolism ahoy makes it more interesting.

The theme that I that I thought was cool was "A roll of a dice", or possibilities of multiple realities.

Characters I have in mind who're switched :

Niko and Player

Proto and Prophetbot

Kip and Silver

Lamplighter and Ling

Author and George

Alula and Calamus

Magpie and Cedric

Rue and Kip...? (I really have no idea who I should switch her with)

Player represents "us".

If I decide I don't like a traitless MC, then the possibility that Niko will guide a different personality is made apparent. Headcanon persona for MC is a player with dog-like traits, who can be excitable and curious, but has a bit of a temper.

The World Machine remains as they are. Though they might or might not be aware of this little switcharoo.

I have no idea what I'm doing lol

But I'll just dump this out here
