ideen_elsterThis has been a very typical idea process again. I'm at work (shhhh) and was sort of humming that song from the Anastasia movie to myself, "Once upon a december", which got me thinking about loving royalty AUs in fanfics, which made me think "hmm a gang of criminals has a hierarchy... and so does a monarchy!", which flowed (flew?) right into my current hard-on for the Red Dead Redemption game(s) and Dutch's gang.
So now I'm left with an idea, not even like for a whole long story but more of a 'verse with multiple oneshots shedding light on the different characters and ships which could exist in that setting and how they could "port over" from criminals to royalties (hey that's not necessarily opposites after all).
So... all the gangs in RDR2 are rulers of kingdoms. Dutch is king with Hosea being his advisor and Arthur the commander of his royal guard. John is perhaps his protege or heir cause Dutch doesn't have children of his own and John showed promise (but John is the worst prince possible). And so on and so forth. PLUS that could lead to one of my most favorite tropes in existence: royal person/their bodyguard HELL YES.
Colm O'Driscoll is king of another kingdom/country and the enemy of Dutch who once kidnaps his commander to put pressure on him and so on.
Thanks brain, love and hate you for this. :')
