Wanted to try out this comic thing for a while now, finally got to it. Also it’s been a long while since I’ve done something for Merlin fandom so… There’re things that I think I could’ve done better, there’re things that could’ve been changed completely but for the first-time experiment I think that’ll do, eh~
still have to figure out the light/dark balance tho
ANOTHER COMIC IDEA!! I need help Lately, I’ve been into webtoons with the reincarnation theme. Where the MC reincarnates to their past selves and try to fix things to avoid their death.
The real fun of making Reincarnation AUs with friends is deciding that the unique twist to your own is that it’s SPECIFICALLY the Welsh knights and so many of the big-name ones are cousins that it turns into one big disaster sitcom.
“The faint pleads for help haunted him the most. The voices seemed far at first, but the sound eventually crippled its way into his ear, like a thousand secrets being whispered with the breath of the undead”
Halfway done with the second chapter of my Reincarnation Au! You can expect the update in a couple days. ✍️
Hello friends! I’ve been off tumblr for a while, but I’m happy to share this new story I’m working on. Here’s a Rivetra reincarnation Au that happens in canonverse.
Summary:
The narration begins 84 years after the end of the manga, in the canonical universe. Due to the terrible trauma generated by the war, and the strong political enmities prior to the destruction of Paradis Island, legislative agreements were created to limit the discourse on “the Great conflict.” As a consequence of this, and for some inexplicable reason, the people have forgotten the truth about the war and the titans, living in the shadow of a traumatic war that although they know that it happened, they cannot fully understand. It is within this new contemporary society that the forgotten members of the Survey Corps are reincarnated, carrying within them the memories of Ymir’s people.
Levi is a social worker who leads a quiet life until he generates an anxiety disorder seemingly out of nowhere, which is accompanied by chilling nightmares that bring uncanny visions from a time before. Everything will take an interesting turn when he meets Petra, which will force him on a journey through his past to discover the truth about the forgotten Great War.
“The world can keep turning as though nothing has happened- like nothing is going to happen. But I know otherwise. And I’m just me. I’m just a half decent artist and maybe, through brushstrokes, I can keep him alive. Maybe just as an image. Maybe completely still. But if that’s all the world can have of him, then I will deliver.”
Shit I just started applying the Reincarnation AU to all the other AUs I’ve created or been a part of.
Like imagine Hiccup and Viggo as pirates, pitted against each other, fighting against feelings of deja vu. After years of being rivals, they finally get all the memories back of their first life. Hiccup is already married by the time they have this revelation.
Hiccup’s a prince the next time they meet. He’s got his friends by his side, the children of noble families, and they remember their days as dragon riders as well as pirates sailing the seas. There’s blank spaces in there, though, where he knows he had rivals and faced madmen and ended wars but the details are foggy. Then Viggo is assigned as his personal guard. The pieces start to fall into place and he remembers how he didn’t get to pursue a relationship with the man in their last life, yet the feelings were blooming every time they met on the seas. This time he won’t let it go even if he’s betrothed to Astrid. She’ll understand if he just explains, right?
Fast forward a few lifetimes and Viggo’s a renowned detective. The title “Nightfury” rings a bell in his mind, but not enough to give him any clue as to who the mysterious crime lord is. He’s assigned a new partner and the moment their eyes meet, the memories filter in. There’s dragons and pirates and knights and he knows he’s spent at least a couple lives married to Hiccup. His not-so-new partner worries over a picture of Viggo’s daughter thinking he missed his chance this lifetime. Viggo assures him he’s divorced while laughing at Hiccup for being a crime lord. He never thought their roles would be reversed.
Hiccup’s in college when her funds are cut off and she’s in desperate need for money to pay for her classes and projects. She runs into Viggo at a coffee shop and jokingly asks him to be her “sponsor.” They’ve been through so many lives by now that the memories click instantly and it’s hardly the craziest situation they’ve been in.
And how much more interesting and tragic could it be to play with different age gaps and genders? Imagine Hiccup as an old man when he finally crosses paths with a young Viggo. Or them being the same age and growing up together.
Prompt: A reincarnation au, years after canon, where all the Paladins remember except for Keith.
Klance - Canonverse Reincarnation au - 8,484 words It’s been a century and a half since the last of the Voltron Paladins, Saviors and Heroes of the Universe, passed. Though they might be gone, their legacy lives on and their memory is far from forgotten.
Allura— woven into the fabric of the universe and wishing to spend a normal life with the friends who became family— manages to save their souls, waiting for the perfect time for them all to be reborn. To live a new life together. Not as Paladins, but as friends bound together by fate. While many familiar souls are reborn, the Paladins themselves— having been connected through the Lions and quintessence sensitive— remember their past lives.
Everyone, except for Keith.

Keith doesn’t believe in fate, but he can’t deny that the day he met Lance was the day his life finally started to fall into place.
Keith and his twin sister, Acxa, were born on a space station rotating in the outer ring of the Milky Way Galaxy. Their father was a researcher, and their mother was a pilot and guard of the station. Their community was mostly human, but there were a fair share of mixed races. Their mother was one of them. A quarter Galra. Passing on to Keith and Acxa her violet eyes, stubbornness, thick hair, and quick temper.
There weren’t a lot of other kids growing up, but Keith didn’t mind. He enjoyed time by himself.
When they were fourteen, their father had to return to Earth. He took Acxa with him and extended the offer to Keith as well. But Keith refused. He liked his home here in the stars. And Earth… it was big and overwhelming. He opted to stay with their mom.
The worst part of the following years was being separated from Acxa. She had been his closest friend, and her absence ached. But they spoke often through video calls. She told him of her time in Earth schools. Of her new friends. Zethrid, Narti, and Ezor. All with Galra in their bloodline, just like them.
She said… meeting them felt like fate. Like they’ve known each other for years and seeing them felt like a sigh of relief. She said she felt like they were meant to be friends.
Keith didn’t get it.
He didn’t believe in fate.
He was happy for her, but a small part of him, buried and hidden, was bitter.
And terribly lonely.
When he was sixteen, he and his mom finally followed them to Earth. He was enrolled in the Garrison, and while he was terrible at making friends— he was the weird kid, the angry kid, the Space Cadet— he was good at flying.
Flying felt… natural. He was at peace in the simulators. Where it was just him, the mission, and the controls at his fingertips.
His first time in the simulator, he left the ship feeling a delightful buzz of adrenaline in his fingertips and a newfound lightness in his chest.
That sensation tightened the moment he heard a voice— achingly familiar and yet entirely new, tugging at him instantly and forcing him to turn— eyes finding a lean, lanky cadet across the room, tan skin and brown hair, arms on his hips as he gazed up at the digital scoreboard— a petulant frown pursing full lips—
“Who the hell just beat my high score?” He whipped around, narrowed eyes searching—
And widening as they landed on Keith. His whole body tensed, and Keith froze under the intensity of that blue gaze. It was a long time ago, but Keith still swears he felt something sizzle and spark through him in that moment.
And then, all at once, the boy relaxed. Practically melted right there where he stood. A blinding smile spread his lips, eyes crinkling with the force of it.
“There you are, Samurai,” he said, voice terrible soft and bizarrely breathless as he held out a hand. “Name’s Lance.”
