ok. Because I too, am unoriginal, I challenge thee to a challenge.
If this post gets...5k notes by the ides of March (Mar 15) I'll write a Frankenstein KOTLC Au, where
Sophie is Frankenstein's monster
Sophie is morally grey
They're nonbinary
And they kill Wylie's father (Kinda sorta on accident)
I won't start writing it until after I finish my current fic, but once I do I'll post it on AO3 and Wattpad.

The thing about kotlc is that the lost cities are a dystopia GENUINELY presented as a utopia.
This is unlike dystopian genre, which presents the world as though it is SUPPOSED to be a great society but every word of the worldbuilding is MEANT to make the audience think “wow, this world is messed up”
Instead, the lost cities are fully introduced as glittering and beautiful and perfect. There are little blips like, y’know, matchmaking, and some overlooked prejudices, and the ill advised cache system, but none of those things get a lot of the spotlight.
And then things like, the council sanctioning the ability restrictor that caused Sophie intense pain, or exillium receiving little to no funding, and the council seeing the other species as explicitly lesser, and the NIGHTFALL LORE where they ignored atrocities against humans and rewrote history to frame them as reckless violent insurgents against a benevolent government—
Those things slowly come out as the series goes on and it becomes increasingly clear that the lost cities are a MESSED UP WORLD.
In the dystopian genre, the audience is never meant to think the society is an actual perfect world. But in KOTLC, we’re figuring out how messed up the lost cities are at the same time as the main characters.
I just think that’s awesome.

i cannot get over how fucking stupid the council had to be to be like
"hm wow, this girl can fix shattered minds so instead of using that to fix the mind of the man who was protecting this girl who we wrongfully accused and ruined his familys whole life who has been rotting in jail for the past 13+ years and has left behind an orphan son and dosen of devastated people, WERE GONNA USE HER TO HEAL THE MIND OF A DANGEROUS LUNATIC MURDERER WHO WAS PUT IN JAIL FOR KILLING MULTIPLE PEOPLE AND ALMOST KILLED THE GIRL AND ONE OF THE NOBILY MEMBERS JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO AND WERE GONNA DO IT IN THIS HIGHLY INFLAMMABLE BIGASS CASTLE
WHAT COULD GO WRONG"

You know what excites me? If the Council tries to pull any bullshit on Sophie again, particularly because she's leader of Team Valiant, she has some dirt on an inside member.
And I wouldn't put it past the Sophie who burned down the warehouse to play that card.
