The trollstuck AU is for explodingfrogs who claimed my sixth prompt slot and asked for a fic in which the human kids were trolls on Alternia and always had been -- you know, a reversal of the usual humanstuck AU trope. :-) And I have IDEAS. :-D
The beta!kids are part of the friendship circle along with the twelve canon trolls; the alpha!kids/Guardians are their ancestors. Respectively, we have:
-Davven Kronos (rustblood, a bit more orange than Aradia), ancestor Redblade, trollhandle [Undecided]
-Jothan Aeolio (blueblood, between Vriska and Equius), ancestor the Gamelord, trollhandle ghastlyTrickster
-Alonde Hekata (violetblood seadweller), ancestor the Magician, trollhandle tentacleTormentrix
And see, the gimmick is that Gl'bgolyb is either not native to Alternia (being a horrorterror and all) and was either summoned or awakened by the Magician and her matesprit/kismessis (they flipped a lot) the Condesce... which fucked up troll society into its present form. Also, the story would start with Jarlia (whose psychic power is to have dreams of the future) trying frantically to get Davven to stop Sollux from killing Aradia under Vriska's brainwashing, except he doesn't initially believe her because of Reasons, and stuff goes on from there.
Davven's psychic thing is either teleportation or temporarily freezing time; I'm not quite sure yet. Maybe both. Jothan is best friends with Vriska and they are really dangerous together -- he's not malicious the way she can be, nor is he murderous like sober!Gamzee, but he doesn't especially care if he hurts people as long as he's having fun. And Alonde and Aradia spend a lot of time talking about the history of their planet and people, because Aradia's ghosts-and-archaeology thing dovetails neatly with Alonde's penchant for summoning Things That Should Not Be Summoned and making them spill their metaphorical guts about what her ancestor did before the Condesce decided she was too dangerous and got rid of her.
A lot of other details are still up in the air, but oh man, I want to write this so badly.
