What if... Those Snapped Weren't Remembered?

Summary:

What if Thanos were a little bit smarter? He knows he makes enemies wherever he goes and that his decision with the gauntlet would basically turn the rest of the universe against him. So what if for his wish to the stones he didn't just ask for half the universe to be erased, but also forgotten?

The only person who remembers the people who should still be is Scott Lang, recently released from five years trapped in the quantum realm. He's coming back to a very different world that doesn't truly know it's changed. How will he convince the remaining Avengers that they need to get their asses in gear and fix everything?

This is just a placement at the moment. I don't exactly have a plan for the story yet just this idea. I'd want to do a lot of research, especially on who snapped/blipped and who didn't. Though I do want to say that my thoughts on the "forgotten" part of Thanos's wish would be like Strange's spell for erasing Peter from existance at the end of Spiderman: No Way Home where there would be no pictures or documents or anything to really place the people in their lives. They really would be erased from the universe.

For right now this is who I have that was Snapped and who wasn't.

I haven't really watched anything passed Endgame except for No Way Home, so if there are others mentioned in other shows or movies, please let me know. For other characters such as Luis or Cassie Lang or whoever I think I'm just going to do a spinner on if they were Snapped or not. Not entirely sure yet, thoughts?

Chapter 2: Whoops

Chapter Text

As you can probably tell, I'm not going to actually be writing this. I have the unfortunate tendency to get caught up in the details so much that the bigger picture gets completely lost for me. I'm hoping to compile a list of sorts of the details I wanted for this fic, everything I had in mind, to upload at some point so that hopefully someone can take those details and flesh it out into an actual story.

This is probably gonna take a hot second because while I wrote down a lot of things for my own research purposes, I wrote them down in a way I could understand. I'm not good at putting my thoughts into order, which is kind of what got me into this whole mess.

I so so so hope someone can find inspiration in my ramblings and loose thought trails, that's kind of like the ultimate goal for me on here and if you do please tag me as an inspired by or in the comments or something. I'm never gonna be one of the really great authors on here that churns out hundreds of thousands of words that make you feel things for a character you never thought you would but, maybe I can give one of them an inkling of what their next story might be about.
