I really let these all pile up, but I did think that would be a good idea. Now it's nearly 8,000 words long. At least it's good stuff for later and provides context if more one-shots get off the grounds.

Either way, I hope you enjoy them.

Madness Reigns AU: nightmaster000

1. The Ed's were trying to escape the clutches of the kids by all means possible, and that included accidentally teleporting themselves into the hellscape that is a cursed Wonderland. Falling through a rabbit hole that had slipped through the cracks, they're stranded there as children and end up fighting to survive in some of the worst conditions until they end up in the employ of the Queen of Hearts.

2. The Queen of Hearts hadn't meant to employ them to break the curse, having only helped them because she was missing her own daughter. However, the Ed's end up learning quickly how Wonderland works and eventually get to work to try and break the curse their way. What they think is a straight forward task ends up with them taking down anyone that gets in their way and ending up with them taking over several kingdoms for themselves. But really, was it their fault that it ended up this way?

3. The curse does get broken eventually, but it's influence does spike up on the occasion. Wonderland may be better off than before, but creatures that were changed still roam about and some people haven't adjusted back all that well. Not to mention the rule of the Ed's isn't too well-received in some circles, despite the fact they're considered hero's by most. That's what happens when some random humans end up taking over the throne, though.

4. The reveal of an uncursed Wonderland is a stir in the rest of the supernatural community, especially at the reveal of humans being behind it. Are the refugees willing to go back to their homeland, especially since it's still dangerous? Will the citizens of Wonderland take them back, or will they consider them traitors? Heck, do Wonderlandians resent the people of the supernatural world for not helping them when they could? Keeping the peace will be difficult in the long run.

5. It doesn't help when the Queen of Hearts, wanting to do her own part in uncursing the rest of Wonderland, kidnaps Raven and any present company around her to see what she can do to help. The Ed's are forced to go back to their old benefactor to prevent the situation from escalating.

Vile AU: nightmaster000

1. The Ed's did what they had to to survive, and they had to force themselves to adjust so they wouldn't feel guilty about it. While they were able to get through most of their crimes undetected, that didn't mean someone wasn't watching them, though. Vile Academy, wanting to take advantage of natural talent, decides to grab them up before they disappear again.

2. Most of the main story behind Carmen Sandiego's show goes on in the background, so the main focus is the Ed's simply doing the bidding of their organization. VILE figured that they should keep watch over the next generation of Legends, as well as see if any Monsters would be open for recruitment. The Ed's figure that what they learn should be put to good use, and don't really think about what kind of organization they work for.

3. The Ed's take special interest in the girls due to their connections and their own capacity to do damage if they were willing to use it. The main goal (at first) was seeing who they could best get to work with or for them without raising too much suspicion. Even the ones that wouldn't cooperate at first would have their uses, though maybe it wouldn't matter if they used certain means like seduction or trickery work.

4. They do end up liking the girls outside of it, though. They aren't willing to give up their criminal lifestyles, mostly because it's something they've found they're good at, but maybe going traitor would be a good idea. Of course, crippling VILE is impossible, meaning they will have to get involved in the main story at some point. Most likely, though, that will be after some hard redemption that drags them kicking and screaming.

5. How the girls react really depends on what stuff they learn first and how much the Ed's have done. They're definitely villains, that's true, but they are still messed up kids who are victims as well. Maybe they'd want to help them after all, even if it's slow.

Truman Show AU: Me

1. The supernatural and human worlds are together, though this comes at a price of little morality on the corporate and the societal level. In some way, somehow, a television corporation partners up with a science lab that wants to run a long-term experiment. Despite having no clear goal in mind and unsure of what they might be testing, the television corporation smells a great opportunity and end up taking over the project, as well as "adopting" three children that were given up at birth. This results in the show that has captivated the nation since day one; Ed, Edd n' Eddy.

2. The show is mainly a bunch of tests running together at the same time, all under the thin veneer of science. Simulating realistic (aka bad) homes lives for the boys, keeping the supernatural out of it, and a whole lot of factors, the entire world could see the results of testing live and in real time. The Ed's also turned out to be naturally entertaining themselves, with any moral implications of gaslighting three kids into thinking their simulated lives are real was washed away under high ratings and a rising fandom. Though maintaining the illusion was a lot of work, with so many close calls since the Ed's are particularly unpredictable, the illusion has been supported so far.

3. This all changes when the Ed's decide to try and leave Peach Creek for good. While it had been a possibility the network had been keeping back-up plans for, the sudden decision threw off many others they thought was set in stone. There's a lot of scrambling involved until an exec, Bloodgood, proposes that it might be time to bring in the supernatural like many in the community has have wanted. Taking up the project, she quickly comes up with the plan of creating the two "schools" to help boost a lot of child actors careers in the process. It's a mess, and it requires a lot of scrambling before it can work. This results in some people slipping in despite the attempts to make some background checks.

4. The girls are here for a variety of reasons, with some (Clawdeen, Cerise) looking to get some money for their families, others (Cleo, Apple) doing it for publicity. The ones aiming to ruin the show and get the Ed's outside of the tv corporation's influence are Raven, Maddie and Ghoulia. For whatever reason, they were all brought together as an experiment to see what people the Ed's would have the best chemistry with and it ended up working great. Of course, even the ones working for selfish reasons start to wonder if this is a good idea anymore, having second thoughts on the whole thing.

5. The story mostly revolves around making sure the Ed's figure out what their reality truly is, as well as prevent the studio from traumatizing them more in the process. Dealing with guest stars, a lot of push back from the studio, and whole lot of twists from the writer's room, things get tense very fast. Whether or not the Ed's learn, will they be able to do anything about it since they're the corporations largest investment? What will they do if they ever get to the real world, especially since some parts of their education and citizenship are up for question? Find out on the next installment of Ed, Edd, N' Eddy: Truman Show Edition!

Chaos Emerald AU: Skiethemuse

1. The Ed's are just trying to get through life while on the road, taking it one day at a time while hoping something would fall out of the sky... which does. While camping out in a field one night and preparing for another day's work, something large hits the roof of their van and nearly wrecks it. Before they have time to mourn the loss of their van, they realize it's a little too big and shiny for a meteorite. They can't even tell what it is until they pry it from the roof of the car.

2. To the Ed's perceived fortune, a giant jewel literally hit their car and they're wondering if they can get rich of it almost immediately. While Double D wonders how a jewel like that was thrown away (or even in the air in the first place since they can barely lift it), they do try to figure out it's valuable by going into a city. Unfortunately, it turns out something traveled with that emerald (Eggman) and he ends up trying to take it back, causing a scene that ends with the Ed's bolting, forgetting to leave the emerald.

3. They're tracked down and taken in by supernatural authorities to figure out several things; why they have a powerful gem of unspecified magic and origin, why they were attacked by a rogue mad scientist, and whether or not they now of any other incidents that happened that threaten to break the Masquerade. They're almost memory wiped before Bloodgood decides to jump in, convincing everyone to back off since they're technically a witness to something not even the supernatural community knows about. She decides to pair them up with other witnesses to hopefully figure things out.

4. This leads them to meet up with the girls, who have had their own encounters with weird things going on involving the Sonic stuff. Ghoulia has gotten strange transmissions coming from another world; Raven's magic maybe have gone haywire and has connected to portals to places no one recognizes; Apple had her own encounter with a Chaos Emerald, but something other than Eggman took it back; Maddie (having looked into the story) keeps on predicting plot points; Cleo had been helping Apple identify the jewel and figuring out its power before it was stolen; and Clawdeen and Cerise almost hunted a fox that they swore flew into the air.

5. The attempt to bring them together was only meant to make sure all known people who say these events could confirm facts, but after their cooperation finds out a few secrets of activating an emerald, the plan changes; they can help investigate directly. If the Ed's succeed in finding enough information themselves, they can earn their place in the community, and reap the benefits of being MH/EAH students. The first mystery is finding out what this "Blue Blur" is and how to stop it from speeding through several communities...

Disney Invasion AU: nigthmaster000

1. The Ed's are in the world of Disney fairy tales, and unfortunately, they aren't related to the good guys. Due to some time spells, a ton of irresponsible actions, and maybe some weird trysts or two, they're related to a variety of villains. Ed is the result of drunk night between Gaston and the Queen of Hearts, with his father deciding to take him in so he could become a "true man." Double D is the adopted (possibly kidnapped) son of Hook, who may have taken him from the world of Treasure Planet so he could get the tech there. As for Eddy, he's Doctor Facilier's kid who ended up Maleficent's employ since his dad made a deal so his "friends" on the other side couldn't collect.

2. Predictably, life isn't all that great for the Ed's or anyone else in their world. Due to the villains trying to mess with time (like in Villain's Lair), the world is chaotic and everyone is trying to sort things out before it gets catastrophic. The Ed's themselves are expected to follow in their parents footsteps or at least help in their schemes, and considering their questionable parenting skills, they aren't going to take no for an answer. The Ed's figure since they aren't safe with their parents, and probably wouldn't be trusted by anyone who knew of their parents, they decide to cut and run with a spell of their own. One that ends up bringing them to the "real" world of EAH and MH.

3. As it turns out, that worlds magic is a little bit messed up as well due to destiny being frayed by everyone desiring for something else in their lives. Raven rejecting the "Book of Legends" was the final straw and it accidentally helped bring the Ed's to their world. Predictably, it's a chaotic entrance considering their weird form of magic-tech, Raven's denial of her destiny, and virtually everything else. When things calm down, though, they eventually realize the potential of this world and decide to play along with Bloodgood and Milton wanting them at their schools, if only to make sure they're knowledgeable about their new home.

4. The Ed's are trying to balance out their goals with the goals of everyone around them. While the Ed's want a comfortable life, everyone wants a piece of them too. Some want their magic or tech expertise, with it all being new to their world. Bloodgood wants to see if this could be used to bring cooperation to both schools. Milton himself wants to see if their arrival was actually by destiny to take care of some of their "staffing issues" when it came to villains. This comes at varying prices and the Ed's aren't sure if they want to pay any of them.

5. It doesn't help that their worlds are undoubtedly crossed now, and some of their parents and their friends have noticed. It's a new world that isn't prepared for their level of evil, and they're prepared to see what they can get out of it. Unless the Ed's can keep them away from the place for a while, though…

Powerpuff AU: nightmaster000

1. First off, the city of Townsville is considered a "border town," or a place where the supernatural will leak in no matter what they do to stop it. Towns like this are nightmares for the supernatural world to cover up, so they generally try to keep anything in it, including the citizens, contained and have spells upon spells to make sure information doesn't leak out. People can come and go, they just might not remember any details at first. And, of course, this is where the Ed's end up at first.

2. The Ed's are looking for work when they run into Professor Utonium, who's main goal isn't to make the girls in this case. He's really just a random scientist that almost qualifies as a mad one, but his work his honest and he figures these boys need some help. He hires them to help with the engineering-based projects that he thinks would benefit with their expertise. Of course, this expands into other projects, a good relationship, though something happens after they celebrate a recent successful invention. A lapse of judgement on the Utonium's part let's them all have alcohol, some drunk science based on nursery rhymes, and then some Chemical X results in the creation of the Powerpuff Girls.

3. The situation is very… awkward at first. The Ed's and Utonium have essentially created life, have no idea what to do with it, and since they have superpowers, it's guaranteed to be a nightmare. Utonium calls up some favors from people he knows, garnering attention from the supernatural authorities. The situation is figured out, and the Ed's are classified as mad scientists with Utonium in order to make sure they have the resources they need to keep these girls happy and healthy. Bloodgood especially takes an interest for her own plans and lets them go to the schools to properly learn more about the new world presented to them.

4. The situation is stressful for everyone, especially the Ed's. They didn't even make the kids the regular way and somehow they're dad's/brothers/uncles/whatever it is they are to these kids and it's stressing them out. They still have the girls on their side, but no one is sure how to handle three human's helping raise three powerful children. It doesn't help they still insist on doing the superhero thing, which will drive them all up the wall. They do intend on trying to do the right thing, though a lot of people are wanting to take the girls in themselves and using their powers for their own purposes.

5. As for who is close to who, that's hard to say since there are a number of ways to do it. Eddy is somehow close to Blossom despite some expectations. While she does figure Eddy isn't exactly a straightforward or completely morally upright, he is the one to help her parse out her complicated emotions and help her adjust to talking to people, as well as teach her the best ways to fight aren't always through superpowers. Double D generally takes care of Bubbles a lot, on account the fact he wants to nurture her love of life, all while making sure she isn't naïve either. Buttercup generally keeps to Ed since he doesn't judge her for anything she likes, and Ed's more easygoing nature helps keep her violent tendencies in check. It's an odd situation, but things are generally working to some healthy relationship, so things are going to be okay… for now at least.

Switching Hats AU: nightmaster000

1. The Ed's, months after leaving Peach Creek behind and deciding to forge new lives that would better suit their needs, are simply running another one of their scams when a "hero" comes in and decides to break it up. And by break it up, I mean nearly destroying their van and almost getting them seriously injured in the process with an excessive show of force. While the Ed's don't have much combat experience up their sleeve, they do have plenty of gadgets on hand that, luckily, end up incapacitating the hero long enough for them to get away from the scene, while also receiving a criminal reputation in the process.

2. For an organization like the Black Hat Organization, this interests them enough to keep the boys on their radar and eventually recruit (translation: kidnap) the boys so that their talents can be used for them instead. The Ed's are forced to escape several times until the higher ups (Flug, Demencia, 5.0.5.) eventually take them down and bring them in. The Ed's are given an ultimatum shortly afterward; join, or have Black Hat himself come down and smite them so their talents aren't used elsewhere. This, of course, gets them to agree.

3. The Ed's are predictably not that happy with this arrangement, despite eventually finding their niches within the company. Eddy does some work with Black Hat personally, working as a salesman/spy that works to get information and eventually get people on the side of the BHO, despite being scared out of his mind by his boss. Double D, of course, works in the invention division that helps solve problems when any arise. While he can arguably say Dr. Flug is fun to work with, Flug is still evil and completely insane, with his collection of working airplanes in bottles with live people inside disturbing him greatly. Ed does plenty of the muscle work with Demencia and 5.0.5., which ends up exposing him a lot to fights and some consequently horrible things.

4. The girls themselves are actually on the side of the heroes! With something close to a Power Ghouls situation going on for the Monsters, and certain Legends ending up with powers themselves, they end up trying to be faces for their respective species to make relations better (the secret would probably be out in this case due to superpowers being a common thing here). They end up with the Ed's as their main "nemesis," especially when they're tasked with more jobs that require their expertise.

5. Despite the initial friction on both sides, it becomes fairly obvious to both sides that the Ed's don't want to do what they're doing. The girls themselves are struggling as they get more clues that the Ed's are simply just trying to survive in the BHO, and the heroes they work with are just dismissing it and fighting the boys anyway. There's a lot of disillusionment from them as they realize the heroes aren't much better than most villains with their excessive or sneaky actions. Until the Ed's can find a way out and the girls can find a way to change things, though, it'll all have to stay the same, otherwise they'll all be in serious trouble...

Hive AU: nightmaster000

1. The Ed's were doing just fine when they were on the road, despite an accident that happens early into it. While camping out in a field that was deserted and trying to keep to themselves that night, they end up getting caught up in an asteroid hitting the ground near where they parked. While none of them were hurt during the initial impact, that almost changed when the asteroid pulsed and nearly sent them all bowling over. Deciding to leave it alone, with the thing that fell from the sky clearly not being an asteroid only getting more dangerous, they bolt before anyone can tell they were there.

2. It's only later they realize they got (seemingly) minor superpowers from the event, giving them an advantage they quickly tried to use. While they did their best to avoid committing serious criminal acts at first, they did commit a few with their technical expertise and their new abilities, which end up with them crossing paths with Jinx's crew eventually. An invitation to join their school is extended, they only take it since they do need to find a way to control their powers in case they end up getting out of control.

3. This ends up with them joining Hive Academy, which does their best to hide it's a cult/supervillain school. The Ed's, with them being jacks of all trades and with powers slowly developing bigger than they thought, end up becoming well-known in the school, with the occasional visit from Brother Blood becoming a normal thing for them. While they aren't as powerful as some of the students that go there too, they aren't pushovers either and have plenty of things to draw back on when they need to fight for their spot.

4. The way the girls come in is fairly simple; Milton gets paranoid about Raven trying to get out of her destiny and whatever plans Bloodgood is up to, with him eventually deciding to send her to a school that might subtly let her accept her role. Despite the supernatural world not being fond of the superheroes and villains of the world, Milton is able to get into contact with Brother Blood and transfer Raven into the program, whether she likes it or not. Her friends take offense to this and try to get her out, especially when they learn through Milton's sources what the school is really about.

5. This ends up with both groups colliding, with Brother Blood deciding to let Raven go, with only the exception being the Ed's have to go with her. While it's a risky maneuver, he believes he has plenty of control over the boys and aims to make Raven a powerful asset to himself. The Ed's get to deal with the suspicious girls, and despite denying the fact Hive Academy is a supervillain school, slowly realize what they've been a part of behind Brother Blood's back, with more superheroes like the Teen Titans slowly realizing the supernatural world exists. A crash course is coming whether anyone likes it or not...

Lab Rats AU: Kriber

1. The Ed's weren't exactly sure what kind of internship they were signing up for when they found a listing online asking for people willing to work for a small lab, but they figured it was a perfect way to get out of Peach Creek. As it turns out, though, leaving for a job you don't know much about for someone that you haven't even met is not a wise move, seeing as how they disappear when they finally arrive, with no one having any idea where they went.

2. It turns out there are other people in the world that realize that the end of the Masquerade is coming, so they figure it's about time to find ways to make integration much easier. Unlike Bloodgood and Giles, though, they think it's a better idea to bridge the gap is by making sure there isn't one anymore and figure out how any human can turn into something supernatural and vice versa. Predictably, these experiments are not accepted, even in the mad science community, so they do it in secret and away from prying eyes.

3. A combination of the Ed's eventually escaping and wrecking the place, the supernatural authorities catching up with the scientist(s), and certain people getting caught in the crossfire, the Ed's are out of the lab and absolutely no one knows what to do with them. Being the most alive, and not driven insane test subjects, they're kept around because someone needs to testify to make sure these atrocities don't happen again. Of course, since they are teenagers and need to adjust back into normal life somehow, they're put into Monster and Ever After High to hang out with people their own age. It's technically a lazy option, especially since some parents argue it puts their kids at risk, but Bloodgood wanted to make sure they were alright after such an ordeal.

4. Predictably, the story is heavily altered from the beginning. The Ed's are even worse off than before, having had their world view turned upside down and made to go through some horrible things. The girls are unsure how to even help, or even interact with them at first, especially since their views on the supernatural are understandably negative this time around. Though, the Ed's will learn to like the place and maybe realize that one bad experience shouldn't paint their whole lives… even if something is trying to get back to them.

5. As for what happens to the Ed's specifically, it isn't entirely pretty. Ed is somehow made a vessel for some creature that is borderline Lovecraftian, that doesn't understand the people of Earth and could cause a lot of destruction if he isn't careful with it. Double D was given powers that enhanced his mind to even greater lengths, psychic abilities that end up causing just as much trouble as the do make his life easier. And Eddy is simply made a conduit for magic, with jewels like the one's he uses in canon now put into him to make him able to use magic naturally, but sometimes painfully.

Experimentation AU: Kriber
1. The point of divergence for this AU happens later than some, but not to late in comparison to others. A month after the Ed's settle in to world of the supernatural, a particular question gets brought up; what happens if they end up wanting to become supernatural? In this case, it would be much harder for them to actually turn, despite what pop culture would make them think. Becoming a werewolf is a process very few people survive. Undeath is not a guarantee unless you have some power or souls to spend. And, of course, trying to get magic involved would kill or drive someone insane.

2. While initially it's denied by all of them, the question does become something of a curiosity for them and they end up thinking up of ideas that would work to make them less human as time went on. Then talking led to planning. And then planning went to experimenting, and later implementing. Double D ends up the most fascinated by the idea the most, though the other two Ed's aren't far behind, actively starting to change their physiology, and later their psychology in the process.

3. It all starts of fairly innocent at first, with experimentation kept to rare occasions and usually staying within their group. However, the longer time goes on, the more frequent it becomes for them to slowly alter themselves, and then eventually trying to get samples from other supernatural creatures as well. A little hair and whatever they end up leaving behind at first, before they end up actively trying to steal stuff like blood to see what kind of ways DNA differs between humans and the supernatural, and then seeing where they can blend it all together.

4. This instability doesn't go unnoticed, and the Ed's do play things off for long enough to become fairly warped and powerful before the truth is revealed. The girls are horrified to see such a transformation and Bloodgood realizes the plan has derailed far too much for it to be salvaged now. Whether the Ed's stop or not depends on what someone prefers. If they do, they have to look extensively into why they did and confront why the did what they did. If they don't, then it might end up that the Ed's are the villains of the story, searching for power more than the are redemption.

5. As for what the Ed's turn themselves into, it's a whole smattering of things. Ed himself is able to shapeshift into various monsters and creatures with a device attacked himself, much like Ben 10, except they're all get more horrible with each one combination he makes. Double D has modeled himself into a cyborg with other attachments involved, not aiming to make himself a robot, but certainly wanting to become something smarter and more capable. Eddy himself is nearly a lich, having taken direct inspiration from Raven's magic and Cleo's situation as an undead. Whatever forms they take, it ends up being a horror show for everyone involved.

Kingdom Come AU: nightmaster000

1. The world that makes up Peach Creek is a small one, and the arrival of Vanitas was an accidental one, but a fortuitous one. A thought had occurred to him long ago that as the only one able to command the Unversed, if he disappeared, Master Xehanort would be without his part of the army. While he isn't happy with sharing his power with anyone, landing on a new world changes his mind when he runs into someone with a lot of negative emotional energy to draw from.

2. Eddy, young, dumb, and nursing himself after a run in with his brother isn't sure what happened to him that day, but Vanitas decided to conduct a Keyblade Inheritance Ceremony in order to create a backup for himself, or at least another person to serve under him and Xehanort. He didn't intend for it to be used, especially so soon when the situation in the Keyblade Graveyard goes south.

3. This leaves a young Eddy with powers he doesn't fully understand due to Vanitas not teaching him much. Working with Double D and Ed, he not only figures out he can summon the Unversed at will, but he's inherited his "masters" keyblade. This does open up literal worlds of possibilities that they haven't seen before, with Double D getting knowledge of magic and magic-tech, and Ed learning more about the various creatures and weapons from people in other worlds. Then the learn about the concept of "keeping the world order" from a fellow traveler.

4. This leads to them forming their own group with their very own goal; unification of the various worlds and spreading knowledge about them. They find the concept of keeping other worlds a secret to be a counter-intuitive idea and think that it works against everyone in the long run. Sure, they know of Maleficent eventually, but not everyone is going be like her. Eventually amassing an army of Unversed, gaining allies and followers in various worlds, they create an organization working towards connecting the worlds. Of course, that means dealing with the other factions at a slow pace.

5. The worlds of Ever After High and Monster High are eventually chosen as bases if only because they're perfect sources of Unversed, with destiny woes for the former and dangerous racial tension for the latter. The girls are either recruited by them or have been working for the light side and trying to counteract them. Either way, the dangers of the various worlds, machinations of Xehanort, Organization XIII, and even certain rogue sects of the Ed's organization start knocking on their doors...

As a bonus:

6. Eddy would probably get Vanitas' keyblade, as well as his own at a later point, making him a dual wielder that he'll use at any opportunity alongside the magic he learns in canon. Double D mirrors Donald by using magic, though he counters it usually with tech he gathers from each world and dedicated to researching it. Ed himself learns how to wield any weapon he gets his hand on, especially anything in the realm of the Final Fantasy variety.

Forced Disciples AU:

1. The Ed's are hiding out in one of the cities dotting America and working on another scam when they run across an old man that seems to be wandering around alone. Despite Eddy wanting to scam the guy, they end up trying to help him when they see him swaying, muttering in Chinese, assuming he's a delirious old tourist. This "help" ends up costing them when it turns out the old man isn't what he seems.

2. As it turns out, Daolong Wong was dealing with the defeat and imprisonment of his Dark Chi Warriors poorly. However, he also considered it an opportunity to upgrade his forces a bit, as mindless minions can only go so far. The Ed's had caught his eye earlier that day because of their ability to trick people with minimal effort and figured he could give them a try. What's the harm? He could just get rid of them if they proved unworthy of being his servants.

3. The Ed's are, quite understandably, not happy about this situation. Being put under the servitude of an evil old man that doesn't seem to care about their well-being, and constantly throw them into battle against Jackie Chan and his crew. While the abilities involving magic entice them and the supernatural world is now open to them, they generally go the route of malicious compliance in order to make sure the old man's schemes are foiled, as well as get across to Jackie Chan's group that they don't want to be doing any of this either. This leads to them searching for other options.

4. Ever After High and Monster High seems like a logical choice for them to go after they learn about it, having suggested it to Daolong under the guise of them getting more power to hunt the Zodiac properly, as well as find "recruits" that could help spread evil everywhere. Daolong specifically wants them to find the Evil Queen, or her descendant if need be. Of course, they not only contact Raven, but anyone else that might be able to help them get out of this unwanted contract. Whether or not they get out of his control, it might be more permanent than they think...

5. The Ed's at least gain some good abilities out of this for their trouble. Being the new Dark Chi Warriors gives them plenty of knowledge of fighting, along with their new weapons that can be used by them at any time. They eventually do mess with magic and tech like they do in canon, but they start incorporating what they "learn" from Daolong and take some inspiration from the artifacts Uncle has and the Zodiac themselves.

Genre Shift AU: nightmaster000

1. The world that the Ed's live in is a strange and confusing one, where the laws and tropes of anime are law in the world. Stakes are higher, speeches about friendship are more common, and everyone is usually more attractive somehow. Everyone, within certain parts of the world, live in their own genre that pertains to their skills and environment. This can range from complicated, cerebral sci-fi were the world can end any second to the sports anime where stakes are treated almost just as seriously. Many generally take this at face value, while a small amount are more aware of the reality they're in.

2. The Ed's are, predictably, part of that latter group. Peach Creek was home to mostly a wacky slice-of-life/comedy where nothing much happens. That doesn't mean there aren't dark things under the surface, with the Ed's homes still being just as dark. While content for a while, they decide that they want to change the genre of their lives and move on to bigger and better things, while avoiding becoming the dreaded "main characters," who the Ed's know go through the most heartbreaking and terrifying things within their stories, no matter the genre.

3. This ends up with them in New Salem and Bookend, which generally runs on two genres as of late; A cheer leading sports anime at Monster High with a hint of drama, and a Ever After High being focused on fantasy and magic. Whatever happens, the Ed's decide to at least give it a shot and see how the logic they were born into works to their advantage. As it turns out, anyone that's in the comedy genre can thrive in certain environments.

4. As it turns out, though, literally trying to change the genre of your life or introducing multiple ones into the same show can lead to some chaos. Conflicting lines of logic start to cause paradoxes, introducing certain personality types and abilities ends up breaking things, and other problems. The Ed's have broken an ecosystem that they weren't supposed to deal with, and this ends up with their current situation.

5. The genre changes everyday; adventure makes them go into ruins or solve fantastical problems; horror causes the monsters to change and the world become much more dangerous; mecha's come and go when passing through the town; and don't get started when the genre changes to shonen. How it ends up depends on their biggest decision yet; leave the world they messed up, or stick with it and force it into the genre they want. At least the fun stuff might keep them until then.

Apprenticeship AU:

1. The Ed's were simply trying to find a place to sleep one night while on the road, not having a lot of choices due to lack of money. Their choice was one that ended up costing them, as they decided an abandoned house that was away from a lot of major roads. Despite their instincts telling them it was a bad idea, it was the best option. As it turns out, it had been abandoned for a reason, with a feral poltergeist of some sort haunting the premises.

2. For two days, the Ed's were terrorized by whatever was inside, and the only reason they got out was due to Hellscream having come across the premises after hearing some history about it. He ends up taking it out within due time and find three boys that just went through the wringer. While he may be vile to the supernatural, he does have some compassion for humanity, and decides that maybe they should be more equipped. A few apprentices are always a good thing as well...

3. The Ed's aren't really sure, but hey, this guy did save their lives and was offering a permanent job. Learning techniques that would introduce them into the supernatural world and give them deadly skills that make them more deadly than other monster hunters, they end up doing quite well. They're slowly given jobs that mostly deal with non-sentient monsters that are causing trouble in certain locations. They prove to be good at it, especially since they help produce more efficient and technological methods that end up helping them in the long run.

4. This results in them getting a different, more high stakes job that will make them considered "official" monster hunters; helping take down Monster and Ever After High. Instead of doing his original plan, Hellscream figures that something more devastating can be done by getting the boys involved. Get them close to certain students, study the place to figure out weak points, and then destroy it all in one fell swoop! If it works, especially if they manage to get any high ranking supernatural forces there, than it could crumble the entire paranormal society as they know it. It's the perfect plan!

5. Here's the thing, though; the Ed's were never informed that the supernatural can come in a sentient fashion, much less form their own schools. While still gung-ho due to their traumatic experience, they're thrown off that when things are calm that... it's just like a normal high school. Sure, the subjects are altered and the people there are far from normal, but it's still bizarrely normal. And while they're grateful for Hellscream, they do realize that maybe that he does have some delusions that aren't really normal and healthy. This doubt will come to a head at some point, especially the longer this scheme goes farther.

Anime AU: nightmaster000

1. The world that the group lives in is much more intense and has a lot more drawbacks to the original; the world is on the brink of war, and a majority of the world isn't aware of that. The supernatural world has been living in shadow for too long and some Monster and Legends want to change that since it seems like it's going nowhere. Infighting is starting on whether a preemptive strike is what's needed, or they continue to be in the shadows. Bloodgood knows that no matter what, the secret of their existence will come out sooner or later. Like in canon, she decides to bring in the boys. In this canon, though, it might be a more dangerous decision.

2. The Ed's find themselves in the prestigious academies of Monster and Ever After High, who house the most powerful supernatural beings in existence. The Monsters are much more dangerous since they have more power than canon, and some even have dangerous appetites to match. The Legends are also much more powerful, almost to the point of being enhanced superhumans compared to the human populace as well. The Ed's, unsure of what do to do, decide to adapt or die, especially under the watchful eyes of Bloodgood.

3. Since the supernatural is much more dangerous in this AU, the Ed's decide to become much more dangerous as well. Eddy's magic and magic items are taken up to an eleven as he searches for ways to become untouchable through sheer power alone. Double D invents crazier inventions that result in the possibility of mecha's, world ending devices, and many more. And Ed learns how to fight, not only in his big form, but also through more traditional ways in his human one. Not to mention the sheer power of lying (a little like Reigen from MP100, but with more punch).

4. The schemes they have to deal with are also intensified, as well as more common enemies that they have to deal with. The Ed's becoming powerful, and making powerful friends in the form of the girls. A lot of shenanigans ensue with the enemies they make at school, but the ones they deal with overall are much deadlier. Not to mention there's a secret cabal of supernatural forces that work together to force the supernatural world to make a decision, and it contains some familiar faces that don't care about anything but their goals.

5. The Ed's are faced with a tough road; continue working with the supernatural and die a horrible death, or leave now and let the world sort itself out. Seeing how they have nowhere else to go, the choice is more obvious than you'd think...

Added Allies AU: Socram12

1. Milton, back when he was in high school, had a tough choice to make; tattle on Bloodgood's location so she can follow her destiny, or not say a word out of loyalty. While one version of Milton did so without hesitation, this one had second thoughts. After threats came down that he and his brother would face serious consequences alongside Bloodgood. In doing so, he never recovered personally.

2. Fueled by shame over the years, he not only avoided Bloodgood, but also became the headmaster of Ever After High as a way to atone for it. He wanted to make the stories easier for his students, but never dared to tell anyone to avoid it. This has resulted in more regrets of watching students suffer, as well as witnessing the rise and fall of a promising student that would only be known as The Evil Queen.

3. By the time the plot of Blending In, he's given himself an ultimatum; if no one tries to stop their destiny and succeeds, he will give up on the idea that anyone can break out of it entirely. When Raven doesn't sign, he decides to help her behind the scenes by keeping any authorities away and doing his best to see it come to fruition. If his brother is right, it might turn out ok. This results in him becoming an aloof, slightly strict ally of the kids, making things quite a bit easier for everyone involved.

4. He's eventually brought into the plan, at Giles insistence, and definitely doesn't believe the Ed's are human by any means. Maybe they don't have immediate supernatural roots, but something must be in their blood to make it this way. Whatever he believes, he figures that whatever is happening is illegal and feels the weight of another decision on his mind; does he say something or let this go?

5. This ends with him giving another ultimatum; if this plan doesn't show any progress, he will have to do something about it. If it does, he'll throw 100 percent of his resources into changing destinies and to the eventual reveal of the supernatural world. It's not a perfect change, and maybe it doesn't show an immediate change, but it does do some good to have friends in high places after all...

And as something special, here's a fusion of two AU's! Started something like this and this seems to be the only one I completed. Request more if you want to see more.

Professor Heist AU

1. The Ed's moved out of Peach Creek and into a life of crime when they started committing heists on the rich in order to get justice to the masses. This time around, though, they've been able to keep themselves a secret to most of the world, and especially from people in the supernatural world. While that has worked out for them so far, they do think they need a proper base of operations, as well as a good place to find some targets. What better place than a place of academia like Monster University and Ever After Academy?

2. The original intention had been to just act as students with a scholarship, applying for a test that would hopefully get them one. Passing it with more than flying colors, the Ed's are surprised to get offered teaching positions instead. They aren't sure if this is a big boost to their plan, or a something that will backfire spectacularly. Either way, even if it blows up in their faces somehow, it will make a great story that might make or break their heisting careers. They take it up without question and decide to see where it goes.
3. Balancing their separate jobs can be tiring sometimes, having to plan out who they rob and how to do it, while also having to create lesson plans and grade papers. They decide that teaching assistants are the way to go. If they can't get everything done, why not get the more tedious stuff out of the way with them? This results in them meeting the girls, who are aiming to just get some credits for their classes.

4. The girls do eventually figure out their teachers other activities, with Clawdeen probably leading the charge since she distinctly remembers meeting Double D in Paris once after her internship was ruined. While having some doubts on their teacher's beliefs, and maybe even consider turning them in, they end up accidentally helping them in their thief work as well. It's a very confusing and stressful situation for all, but they do ending up getting why the Ed's do this, especially when learning more about their pasts. At least they're earning their credits as much as possible, right?

5. The story goes through a lot of convoluted plots, and could honestly be almost considered a long term sitcom. Either way, the Ed's end up learning a lot through their work as teachers and help a lot of their students on either side of their lives. The way it would end would probably be Eddy explaining to his class about his greatest scheme, spelling out what he did to get where he is today, and then vanishing before anyone could think to react. In the end, the boys and girls are nowhere to be found, possibly planning their next score all the while.

Yeah, feel free to suggest any fusions. I had a smaller batch before, but now with all of these, I might have to use a random number generator to make sure to not have any repeats.

Hopefully you enjoy these and I'll see you in other works/future chapters.
