Shocked by the sheer lack of Mafia!Au in the lcf/tcf Fandom.
Why is there none? Have you seen the way Cale acts ? The way he sometimes uses underhanded methods bordering on illegal to get to his goal while posing like a benefactor in front of the society ? Kidnapping, Torturing, looting religious/official treasures ? The mere existence of the Molans in his vicinity ? The revenge for Raon act ?
When Cale said:
[SPOILER AHEAD]
"There is an unchanging fact in the world...You don’t mess with family" to the WS he was not joking.
Before learning that Earth 1 was post apocalyptic and the whole backstory I really pictured KRS to be part of some underground corporation or gang involved in shady things. What's with:
-Team leader? -That's a very particular phrasing-taking him in-with no context
-Him saying he treated his work as normal office work when it supposedly was not? In which way ?
-The whole taking the reins of the team after alluded DEATH of the team leader??? Caused by what ? Or who ?
-Flimsy flashback of them all beaten up and sore on the ground after a "mission" hasn't gone as planned ? How tf was I supposed to know they were fighting monsters !?
-The whole I didn't want to get close to my coworkers to protect them shit ? What why ?? Of what ?
-Just the general way he acts super efficiently as Cale henituse and accommodatly ignores the law when he wants(for good reasons but still !)
-That one official art of Cale posing with SUPER BUFF laded with scars ???! KRS at the back
My brain was totally going off rails, but that's not the point. What I mean is there is exceptional potential here.
Though I don't know shit about cartels, gangs, or mafiosi, I can see the missed opportunity.
Give me that modern!au that slaps.
I wanna see guns, car races, corruption, scams that chaotic energy with things going boom boom in the background, children who shouldn't be there, and Bob. Lots of Bob.
I wanna see future politician!Alberu being totally gobsmacked that this trashy young master, with a failed idol carrier due to all the rumors and scandals related to his personality turns out to be his most trusted ally for the elections and apparently has more than one hand in the underground world and cartel mafiosi also stopping human trafficking, terrorism and slowly but surely preparing for war on a continental scale on the side, is his only match in term of wits and efficiency.
And this fucker says he wants to be a slacker. Haha! Make him prime minister.
