@mcyt-yuri-week day 2 Royalty/Knight, for which I had a very basic idea and then spiralled fully into AU territory without meaning to... Gem is a dragon huntress and it turns out the princess is a secret dragon shifter haha oops!! More thoughts under cut

Gem is a knight who serves the kingdom via hunting dragons to make ends meet, accompanied by a "hound" dragon, raised from birth to hunt other dragons and obey humans - The kingdom's "gift" to her to aid her. (Because how the hell is some basic solitary knight gonna hunt dragons without any help)

One day she spots, ambushes and follows this moth-like dragon that she's only heard of in rumors before

(the little butterfly tail is to distract or lure teehee)

In an attempt to escape the dragon weasels itself into a small cave but Gem's dragon quickly sniffs it out, only for her to come face to face with the princess. Naturally she's like "oh shit you're the princess this is awkward" (also no dragon shifters have been known to exist) and ofc she's not going to kill her then. Not only is there the moral dilemma of killing an innocent human but she also hasn't much to gain from it. Instead she just needs to figure out a way to get Pearl back to the kingdom and try to treat her injuries as well as think up an excuse for why Pearl would be in such a sorry state. She assures Pearl that she won't rat her out even though Pearl is convinced she will because it's valuable intel. Gem could probably swindle a lot of money out of this. But Gem's way too panicked regardless because her life is as good as over if anyone finds out that she harmed the princess

Gem is kinda brash and grits pleasantries through her teeth whenever she's talking to royalty so being stuck with the princess is hell (and somehow almost as concerning to her as the fact that she just discovered a dragon shifter) meanwhile Pearl is trying to get her to drop said pleasantries and appeal to her in an effort to stop Gem from revealing her to anyone (even though Gem wasn't going to regardless but Pearl's equally as panicked as Gem)

Also the hound awoo (I didnt mean for it to have almost the same bodytype as Pearl dragon oops)

And I guess idk!! Im a sucker for any monster shapeshifter forbidden romance plot etc man. That shit makes me weak. So this can just transpire into some little adventure/discovery story. Pearl struggles to accept that Gem doesn't want to rat her out and in trying to appeal to her, she quickly becomes genuine when they hit it off and Pearl finds newfound yearning to leave her princess life behind now that someone knows about her secret. Gem is actually working for the kingdom because something is being held against her, but she leaves duty and goes awol (and becomes wanted oops) to venture out with Pearl to help her find what she's looking for because Gem feels eternally guilty given their first confrontation. Pearl's wings also need to heal for awhile so that's further reason for Gem to aid her. Maybe she also likes Pearl a bit. Just maybe. Idk could be anyone's guess.... Would be crazy if she did

#Gem isnt wearing a helmet because I dont know how to draw a cool looking helmet and still retain Gem's recognizability haha dont look at me #gempearl #pearlgem #shiny duo #shinyduo #mcytyuriweekvalentines #trafficshipping #hermitshipping #Im so weak IM SO WEAK for this type of story #save me gempearl save me #tw blood #cw blood #blood #sorry forgot about these hhh #tubby art

i am like a poor victorian child on the streets with a cup asking for crumbs of your au? perhaps? :)

first off, thank you for this ask. it made me laugh. SECONDLY. OH BOY. YOU ARE GETTING MORE THAN CRUMBS

SO. the premise is, after nearly twelve years of the rift being closed, those on empires awake one morning to find their world slowly starting to fall apart. placed blocks don't always place at first, and then at all. they rubberband around when trying to walk. holes appear in the ground, straight to the void below. entire chunks disappear, or reset to their natural state. magic is faulty, not always working, or causing frequent misfires. food no longer grows properly, and the sun and moon move slower through the sky. it's a gradual change, but the magic can be felt in the air, slowly charging as things get stronger. as things get worse.

Shelby, being the resident witch and having fought to become supreme witch not that long before, is the first to figure it out. the rift has reopened, and has begun to destabilize their reality. it quickly becomes a race to save their universe, as it's slowly ripped apart and taken from them. slowly destroyed before their eyes, while they try everything to save it. gem, being the resident universe hopper, is recruited in Shelby's attempts to save their home in their race against time.

on the Hermitcraft side of the rift, nothing really has changed. there's no destabilization. the rift is open, but they cannot enter it, not that any would want to after gem tells them how badly the other side is affected. they pool together to try and save the linked server... while also preparing for the worse, in case it can't be saved. they'll readily accept them as refugees, though everyone hopes it won't come to that.

synopsis out of the way. I do wanna write something for it. it would absolutely be a multi POV story, one that changes every chapter. since it would take place after witchcraft smp, it'll be tons of fun to explore how things have changed in the decade between the finales and when the story takes place.

i do have a lot planned out already cause I've been sitting on this for at least a month now. gempearl is a given, along with nature wives. they're the main four in the story, which is probably not surprising at all lol.

if you want specifics PLEASE feel free to ask because I am BREWING things up. I won't spoil the plot BUT I am so down to talk about where I think everyone will be after the decade.
