Hello and welcome! So as you can probably tell, I'm a little (okay, a lot!) obsessed with this movie and this whole world - what an exciting story to be part of, so here's another idea I came up with :) I hope you enjoy! As excited as I am to explore Orm's relationship to the surface and humans, I also want to explore the whole of Atlantis more, so here we are!
Here is a full summary of the story:
Book 1 of the 'Everything I Need' Trilogy
An Aquaman AU where Atlanna and Tom have a little girl, Aurelia, Orvax is alive and is current King of Atlantis, and Orm is a prince who heads the Atlantean technological design. It will be a race to save Atlantis as much as a race to save the surface world.
Based on 2018's 'Aquaman' and Skylar Grey's song 'Everything You Are' which played during the movie's credits!
I do not own these characters, I'm just borrowing them because I love this movie and have many more stories to tell! ;) I only own my own characters and any changes I've made/ideas I've added! Thank you and I hope you enjoy! :)
Welcome!
Here are a few things that I've changed for this AU, outlined to (hopefully) avoid confusion!
-Atlanna and Tom have a little girl, a future Queen of Atlantis, Aurelia Curry.
-Aurelia and Orm are not related, but both in line for the throne.
-Orvax is alive and is the current ruler.
-Arthur Curry will feature in this story, but as Aurelia's cousin and not as Aquaman.
-It makes sense that hydrokinesis is an ability of all water-dwellers, so I'm making it a more widespread power among Atlanteans (plus it's super cool!) But Mera is exceptionally good with it.
-Orm is behind Atlantis's technological advancements.
-Aurelia and Orm are younger in this story than in the movie, Aurelia mid-twenties and Orm late-twenties.
-Since I plan on making this a trilogy, I'm going to expand the movie storyline and add parts and break up the quest to find the Trident of Atlan to stretch it out over the course of three books.
Hope that helped set everything clear as we begin the story! I think that's all the major changes, but of course there will be smaller ones too. I'll add to this list if I think of something else! Thanks, and I sincerely hope you enjoy! :) Let me know what you think!
Also, if you've stumbled upon this story first, I am writing a completely separate Orm story called 'Lost City, Lost Kingdom, Lost Soul' which acts as a sequel to 'Aquaman' and gives Orm some love (that he very much needs!) Please check it out if you're interested, thanks!
