Throughout Greek mythology it's believed the youngest takes the throne of God king. Like Zeus did from Kronos, guess who Zeus's youngest son is? What if Zeus had an alternative reason for being so harsh to Dionysus? What if he's TRYING to keep him away because he knows. He knows eventually he'll threaten his power. He knows eventually he'll threaten his throne.
Alternative au where Luke realizes this and instead of going to Kronos rebukes Hermes and makes Dionysus adopt him and they work together to start making life better for half bloods and eventually overthrowing Zeus. Chiron and Hephaestus secretly join in cause they're all for the screw Zeus club.
Bonus fluff Chiron actually has no problem secretly helping and supporting Dionysus because A he's basically raised his nephew and you can't tell me they don't have a family dynamic and B he knows he'll be much better than Zeus cause at least he won't bang anything with legs
For context a wolf walker is similar to a werewolf except they look completely human till they fall asleep and their soul basically leaves their body and becomes a wolf but they can go back into their body whenever they want but they have to be near it, as in right in front of it. They can transform normal people by biting them, talk/communicate with normal wolves and a little with other animals ((but not in the "oh they're actually talking" kind of way in the mutual understanding kind of way)), they can see scent trails, and heal injuries.
So uh just spit balling here but,
Martins an orphan in this au (he and Chris aren't biologically related in this but we all know they're tied together by soul 😌) along with Koki Aviva and Jimmy and they all work together to provide for themselves and everyone else in their little dirty orphanage.
Martin does lots of things but usually gathers herbs and mushrooms (and consistently brings back injured animals that they all nurse back to health before returning them to the woods)
Jimmy is a cartographer which helps them all get out of the village without many problems
Aviva's an inventor and Koki's a blacksmith, a skill she got from one of her parents before they died 🤷, but they're both belittled and looked down upon because they're women and this takes place in ye olden days.
Chris is a wolf walker and his mom is/has been asleep for awhile cause her wolf self mysteriously hasn't returned. (For context look up the movie or watch it on daily motion!) He's of course a sassy little wild child with little to no concept of danger and while he enjoys the company of the wolves he gets cripplingly lonely.
Chris and Martin meet when Martin finds a wolf caught in a trap. It's dark brown with green eyes and snarling mad at him. Luckily Martin has no sense of danger either and pretty much jump scares the poor thing but jumping on it and wrapping his coat around it's head before prying off the trap and clambering up a tree to avoid losing a limb. It shakes off the coat and takes off. Martins happy with this outcome. A few days later however he gets caught in a rope trap. He's thinking "Dang this sucks 😑" when that same wolf shows up. Martin loves animals but he has enough common sense to realize this situation is not ideal. Especially when it starts jumping and snapping at him. He flails trying to get himself free and it bites him on accident and he accidentally kicks it. It jumps away with a whine before falling back and with one big jump manges to snap the rope and set him free. They're at a stand still for a moment before it runs away and Martin retreats back to the confines of the medieval town.
Imagine his shock when he wakes up in the middle of the night to a little boy howling over him, gold circling his arm. They stare at each other. The boy just looks wild in nature. Sticks and leaves in his hair, Martin's pretty sure there's some pebbles in there too. His hands and feet are dark brown, tough and calloused. His nails are sharp to match his canines, even in human shape he looks like a wolf. Martin isn't sure what to say so he looks at his healed arm and simply says thank you for healing his bite. The boy simply frowns and snarkily tells him to stay out of the woods if he doesn't like being bit and leaves. Of course he goes back to the woods the very next day and the boy is waiting for him.
I'll do a whole movie rewrite if anyone's interested 🤷
If you can avoid spoiling too much by explaining, how did each of the crew become orphans?
Don't worry no spoilers here!
Chris's dad was just never in the picture but his mom is alive!
Martin was abandoned as a baby.
Koki's mother was a doctor and her dad was a blacksmith and they both caught some sort of mystery disease that they died from when she was 3-4
Aviva's parents were sailors but their ship was hit by a massive storm of which she was the only survivor as a baby and she washed up on shore in her little basket and was brought to the village.
Jimmy's a fae. They can be born but sometimes they do just kinda sprout out of the ground. Jimmy's a ground case. He popped out of the ground and a random fae scooped him up. He doesn't have a single set of parents since for his situation everyone parents the child so he'll call any familiar fae his auntie, uncle, or cousin.
a new guy moves to town and is like "hey, who're those kids?"
"Them? Well, the big one's Martin, and the feral child following him around despite insisting he doesn't like him is Chris. Don't try to talk to Martin, Chris gets jealous. The one that looks like she could break your arm with the flick of her finger is Koki. The other one's Aviva, she built a catapult and launched Zach into the woods once. And the guy perching on the roof that looks like all the secrets of the universe are hidden in his eyes and if you stare into them for too long your mind will unravel into madness is Jimmy. He's super chill."
Im so happy people are enjoying this au as much as I am this made me jump and squeal because SOMEONE GETS ITTTTTT and this is exactly how it goes. The guards HATE Jimmy. He's always, well everywhere. But they can never catch him or prove it's him or how he gets in to places he's not supposed to be in.

A shorter chapter but I’m pretty sure the next one will be pretty big.
little martin using fae jimmy's wing as a blanket
YES. THEY ALL DO. Child mildly cold? Where's the bird man.
Sorry for lack of updates I have been supe sick for three weeks and unable to create
How would Jimmy introduce each of his kids to the other fae. like
"That's Chris. He's a wolf half the time and he has rabies and hates everyone. He will bite you. And that's Martin. He loves everyone and is the only one Chris likes. But he will also bite you."
Chris doesn't hate everyone; he's just never been around people. At the start? Yep he's growling at everyone like an animal. But once he gets used to it he's much more well behaved. It did take a little pressure from Martin to get there, though.
Jimmy would do it like this I think:
"This is Martin hes my tough water guy he's a little silly but he's got heart! He also keeps everyone together. If you hurt an animal he will beat you up."
"This is Chris Martin's leach, I'm just kidding! But they are inseparable. Chris will growl at you if he thinks you look mean and he will bite if you try to touch him. A wolfwalker through and through! He also has a sharp tongue and will shatter your self-esteem if provoked."
"This is Koki she's strong enough to throw you through a wall! And smart enough to build a church balanced on your body."
"This is Aviva she can do math and probably solve any problem you present her with."
Something like that y'know?
