g_uava | Elaborate Tokusatsu AUs (Reply)

These are some AUs I had been obsessed with developing without really intending to write and post a complete story. In fact since I've prioritized ideas that I'm more likely to write and post, I've grown out of the habit of fleshing out in my head fic premises that are ambitious in scope and required time and mental energy to do them justice.

Kamen Rider Drive: Makage Soichi is the real father of Kiriko and Gou. After Freeze assumes Soichi's form, he abandons the Shijima siblings. Then after the death of Tomari Eisuke, Soichi adopts Shinnosuke and is somehow responsible for Shinnosuke becoming Drive. The rift between Kiriko and Shinnosuke widens as Shinnosuke inadvertently deprives Kiriko of not only the Rider belt, but also a father.

I had craved something fierce ShinKiri as a het version of a rival ship and have them grow as partners through working through a tangle of underlying resentment, genuine respect and affection in spite of background machinations and more than a smidge of physical attraction. It'd all amount to a fic lengthier and more emotional than most of the het offerings I've come across in Toku fandom O_O

Kamen Rider Ghost: Gundam 0079 Fusion focusing on the Fukamis as the Deikums and the Ganma royal family as the Zabis. Makoto as Char, Alain as Garma, Kanon as Sayla and Takeru as Amuro. Makoto betrays Alain like in the source canon but Alain survives.

Fusion AUs seem like a cheatcode for plot points and worldbuilding yet I haven't seen many of them around lately, even in larger fandoms that I poke around in.

Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger: What I think about as 'Ancestorverse' -- An eclipse brings about a time warp that throws my slash ship (Bamba/Canalo) back to the time of their ancestors while simultaneously, one of the ancestors crosses over to the present day to interact with my het ship (Asuna/Melt). Each ancestor is also supposed to be the past life of each Ryusoulger.

So basically:

Ryusoulger => Ancestor version
Bamba => Balba
Canalo => Kanalo (female)
Asuna => Osuno (male)
Melt => Felt

Canalo and Asuna's ancestor/past life are of a different sex to make Balba/Kanalo a het ship and Osuno/Felt as a slash ship. Part of my grand plan was to write my slash ship as het, and the same for my het ship. Also wanted to try recycling an AU verse for two different ships from the same show.
