Hello i have never posted on A03 before nor have i written on other sites before but i just wanted to put up some ideas i had that won't get out of my head.
I have at this moment only read up to chapter 1020 of lord of the mysteries and don't completely understand how everything works but just wanted to see if my ideas are liked.

As of this time of postage i have three main ideas and AUs

Chapter Text

Leonard getting desperate upon seeing how close klein looks to sherlock but before realising/ digging up his grave decides to try and soul spirit? Klein but as he is not dead and far away he somehow ends up spiriting OG klein instead and when he try's getting closure or something OG klein reiterates that he doesn't know him and that he died way before leonard said he did. Que leonard realising that the klein he knew the whole time wasn't the real klein and may be a paracite/evil spirit. Angst

Chapter Text

A soulmate au where they are born with the age your soulmate is currently and as you age the number changes with you, if your number stops it means your soulmate is dead. Klein eith didn't have a number or the whole soulmate thing wasn't a thing in kleins time. Leonard with a double number 22(10,000) (i don't know how long klein was asleep for ) and not knowing what to do with either a god aged soulmate or a soulmate that has been dead before he was born.
Half angst.

Chapter Text

zhou being a youtube famous cook/chef who got popular for making luxurious meals for a cheap price.
Roselle being Roselle 'borrowed' His recipes and used them as family secret recipes.
Klein not finding out for a while either til (for some reason ) he cooks for/with bernadette, or he tries some food at a Pasted down restaurant and 'whispers' the 'secret' about it. Even better on the low chance he panics being questioned by bernadette and says mr fool taught him, i just find it funny that roselle stole recipes from an ancient god.

Chapter Text

where Gehrman gets drunk at a bar with anderson and dantiz and gets asked 'What's your name?' by a pirate after Gehrman continuously points out the bounties on all the pirates in the bar. Gehrman replies 'What name do you want' and starts listing off all the names he's went by.

(I know Gehrman/klein doesn't like to get drunk, but fuck it i guess i can't figure a way around it other than him deciding to let his walls down near his friends/maids/servants)

Chapter Text

Soulmate au where beyonders get a soulmate mark that dictates their soulmates sequence level. Once someone becomes a beyonder a mark will appear on their body stating sequence- 9-0, only the soulmates can see each others mark, and at sequence 5 the potion title becomes visible as well. The mark fades and becomes a scar when the soulmate dies, the mark is a light blue when potion is undigested and gets darker til its completely black and digested.

All i really want is Alger being fine never knowing if he was a soulmate for years then klein 'transmigrates' and basically speed runs the sequences. I want alger getting the -9 mark on him the first time and being annoyed and then astonished when it gets darker incredibly quickly. (maybe at first thinking it might be miss justice and then not when klein drinks the clown potion) Alger just realizing that his soulmate knows the acting method from the beginning. ( at this point thinking his soulmate might be from the forsaken land of the gods when little sun joins the tarot club). When Mr. World joins the tarot club Alger's theories start going nuts as he realises that Mr. World is going at the same pace as his soulmate.
Klein being oblivious that alger is his soulmate and not really caring, all he wants is to get home having a soulmate won't stop him.

I just really like seeing algers wild theories' and ideas, they crack me up each time.

Chapter Text

A 5 things they didn't realise plus the one time they did thing where Emlyn meets all of klein's identities, but doesn't realise they are the same person til klein wakes up and tells/ tarot club finds out that Mr.fool and Mr.World are the same. Cue tarot club ( Leonard ) finding out that Emlyn has unknowingly met all of his identities. Emlyn thinking at the end reaviel ' Ofcourse the savior of the sanguines will always be watched over by the gods' or something (Leonard being jellous that he isn't the only one who knew of all of kleins' personas.

Identities in order the moon meets them, Sherlock moriarty, The fool, Gehrman sparrow, dwyane ( i'm excited for this one), merlin and Klein moretti.

Emlyn meets klein pretty close before klein goes to sleep with leonard, Although klein will smell familiar to Mr.Moon he won't realise cause of klein being a king of angels' and leonard gaslighting him into thinking he's a red gloves of the seer pathway with him.

i really find it funny that although Emlyn has met both Sherlock and Gehrman, he didn't know that his 'two' friends were one.

Chapter Text

Trash of the counts family crossover where the apocalypse started because klein recited celestial worthys chant thing (i forgot the name of it sorry, its 12am and i'm drunk) and the monsters start appearing after than but it isn't know until after a thousand or so die simultaneously/unannounced. (when krs is 20-23) Krs is researching why the disappearance happened when he got transmigrated, in the world book/the book/novel choi han and cale found about dragon slayers (i haven't finished tcf either, i'm at chapter 300 i think
), god of death freaks out, and someone ( probably cale barrow) recites the honorific name and wither gets struck by lightning or get a minunon to recite it and dies. Mr fool is now aware of the world ( at sequence 2-4 )

Chapter Text

When Zhou 'transmigrates' he doesn't just go into kleins dead body and gets his memory fragments but he joins kleins spirit to his own as it dissipates leaving two spirits in one body. (Klein being the lesser of the two as he was mostly gone by the time zhou shows up.

(Og Klein is mostly a barely there spirit standing next to Zhou, transparent style, Og Klein can be seen from spirit vision at the start before Zhou becomes a beyounder, he can also stay in sefior castle after Zhou gets more connected to sefior)

Zhou has a couple of Kleins memory fragments but only the ones Klein doesn't have, not including the ones referring to antigonis book. Klein doesn't have any of Zhou's'

Zhou has main control of the body. But Klein can take over for a short moment of time.

Klein can talk into Zhous head and Zhou can respond in turn. (Maybe he doesn't by accident and gets pallez freaking)

At first Zhou didn't realise that klein was following him in spirit form as he didn't have spirit vision, he knew he was there but didn't know klein had a 'physical form'.

Pallez does.

A thicker fog surrounds Mr.Fool in the tarot club that makes he look less human, (mostly because Zhou and Kleins' souls are semi fused and when they are in the grey fog they can't separate so it looks like he has two heads sometimes that flicker.)

Chapter Text

A sealed artifact that can display an image of the users future sequence, pathway, known names/affiliations, digestion speed and date obtained. (Mostly used to check new nighthawks loyalty)

(Maybe a mirror )

Tingen timeline before klein drinks the seer potion. (both to fit in with self lore and also so that the grey fog isn't as connected to klein so that it won't fail.)

The artifact starts beeping/Flashing red when it gets to information that could lead to corruption til the corruptible people leave.
The artifact cannot stop until it has finished.

Chapter Text

A multiple choice triva questions will be asked and if correct will play the correlating scene if gotten wrong will play an embarrassing scene of the one who answered. (what the asker finds embarrassing not the public.)

Chapter Text

Klein is sent to an alternate past universe to stop him from becoming the fool, Leonard gets dragged with him.

Adam sent them with grossells travels and 0-08 ( if adam doesn't have those anymore because of consumption, ((shrug))).

Klein known's nothing but the title 'debut or die' and his own knowledge of idols.

Klein and leonard try to get out by going with the 'plot' of the book (that they have no clue about)

sequence 4 leonard
sequence 1 klein
no pales

Limited/slow gain in spirituality (because of world before the abundant of pathways, beyonders and monsters, less of a breakage of the world barrier)

klein 'grafts' identities for them.

leonard is deaged to 20-22 (klein wishing??)

klein faceless ability to look younger and a mix of klein and zhou ( so that he can opt for a translator for leonard, he might change to look at least a little korean)

Klein passes out for a couple of days from spirituality exhaustion, leonard gets a paying job in the meantime (charisma stat high, to overcome the language barrier)

klein is learning korean faster than leonard and is helping him with it.

they are treating it as a grossell situation.

moondae can see their status window but they can't

eg

----
leonard mitchell
21?
vocals-A (B-)
dance-B (D+)
looks- S (A-)
talent -B+ (C+)
charm- A (B)

Ability
sleep is for the weak (D grade)
leonard mitchell can perfectly function with only 2-4 hours of sleep

status effect
separation anxiety (c grade)
status goes down 3 levels without a trusted individual nearby.

klein moretti
20??
vocals-B
dance-S-
looks- B+
talent -A
charm-B+

Ability
circus like flexibility (D grade)
greater control over all muscles in body

klein and leonard wake up a week before moodae does and they try to figure out what the story is about and to learn about koreans.

klein internet surfs and finds out that they are near a place ground for a airing of a new idol show and figure out they need to be on it.

Chapter Text

Dantz, anderson and Gehrman get sent on a memory heist throughout each mind, in one random memory.

from oldest to youngest ( i just want anderson and dantz to know that they are being bossed around by someone almost 10 years younger)

Gehrmans memory is from zhou mingrui.

Chapter Text

001 is leonard
A is zhou (klein)

klein was zhou when he was an examiner but after the dating fiasco the system permanently change klein's face and wiped his memories.

leonard just got his memories wiped but he still vaguely remembers zhous face, not his voice or personality.

The video that makes leonard realise that zhou is klein would have zhou wearing the same clothes that klein is currently wearing/ hearing zhous voice and realising they sound the same.

Chapter Text

klein gets misidentified by mr. hanged man as an ancient elven being from long ago, after he 'gifts' the ocean songster characteristic to him and implying that it was from an elven acquaintance. ( an extinct race) ( to get to that point alger might question if an higherup in the church of storms was taken out and Gehrman 'tells' alger that it was from an wild beyounder of elven nature.

For some reason or another alger see's zhou mingruis true form/human skin/ original body, and thinks that Gehrman is an elven creature. ( alger has distant evlen blood and tries to secretly discuss shared blood/ culture)
( There might be an artifact that shares pasts ((ancient scholar characteristic?? )) and that includes past apprentices)

It doesn't help that klein does a deep search on elfs as they share commonalities with asians.

algers brain goes from one leap to another.
(Gehrman having an ocean songster characteristic, Gehrman having an eerily similar appearance to elves, Gehrman knowing more than one should; being born on this epoch.)

Que Alger being much more afraid of Mr.Fool and what 'He' can achieve.

Chapter Text

Around five years into Mr.Fools slumber the tarot club gets sent into another world of the magnus archives. ( set about ep 134 TMA, before apocalypse) (After klein wakes up and performs a ritual to become/overtake the lord of mysteries)

(It will be unknown that the world and the Fool are one in the same.)

the avatars of the magnus world believe that an new entity has awoken, and an cult similar to the fire of desolation has happened)

the fool would be suspected to be a fear of being tricked, deceived, of not knowing who, when or what to trust. The hotpot of the uncanny valley, of being controlled/ manipulated, of being the only one unaware, of being the only one that is real/ of not fitting in/ being different.

the fear of anything and everything being fake, that the world is scripted and your the only one without a scrip, ( a mix between the web, the watcher, the stranger and the spiral.)

( Tarot club avatars ideas,

justice-lonely
magician-distortion/spiral
hermit-watcher
world-stranger/slaughter/hunt
azik-end
hanged man-vast
little sun-the dark
moon- buried
pallez-corruption?

each klein identity has a different imagined avatar group.)

Chapter Text

Only the tarot club(/ believers of the fool) show up/appear in the magnus archive world/timeline. (before season 5, TMA)

When the tarot club wakes up they immediately realise that they aren't where they are meant to, and start to spread the name of the fool in hopes of new anchors in an new world would be beneficial of waking the fool up.

every fear/entity thinks that a new fear has woken up, mainly because of the fear spread about by for's books about the crazy hunter and the appearances of said hunter all over the world.

An island might appear/ be found containing the church of the fool, being found by an pilet?? ( semi stable anchors)

the pilet?? goes to the institute to give an statement about it.

(the 14/15 fears think that an new fear has appeared)

Chapter Text

god in a horror game x lord of mystery crossover.

klein moretti gets put in the games, his reality code goes to the lotm world.

set around klein becomes sequence one.

klein gets compared to bai liu, (money hungry, smart/cleaver, quick tactics, actor.)

klein cannot use items from game out of world

cognition does very slightly raise mentality points quicker.

Chapter Text

klein gets cat ears and it takes longer than should be reasonable to notice ( klein acts like a cat enough that they think the ears are imagination at first till old Neil does a divination on them.)

Evernight 'see's' klein and goes 'ooohh, good cat, missing appendages, here go'

shenanigans ensue.

very big crack, especially if no one tells klein at first.

Chapter Text

Bai lui wakes up one day as welch minutes before the nighthawks showup. ( Mabye in a game Mabye not)

the evil god being celestial worthy.

klein/ zhou mingrui is still in this world/ timeline

Chapter Text

Arrodoes gets turned into a child around 3-4 year old (only in appearance, they are still an sentient artifact), With silver hair slightly longer than their shoulders, wearing a miniature version of sherlocks clothes..

it is when 'sherlock' (klein) first meets arodoes during the jason beria attack as sherlock.

a spirit world attack gets launched at 'sherlock'(klein) and Arrodoes takes the hit ( 'sherlock'(klein) was holding them) (arodoes tanks the hit and gets turned into a child as a result.

(because of a spirit world/spirit attack a baby hound of forgum gets interested and is following 'sherlock'(klein) around in the spirit world, more children)

Because this happened with Ikanser Bernard next to 'sherlock'(klein) he tries to shove the child (Arrodoes) at ikanser but Arrodoes wants to stay with 'sherlock'(klein) and throws a fit ( which 'sherlock'(klein) wants to shut down but cant infront of Ikanser)

Arrodoes personality doesn't change and in all purposes is still an sealed artifact just in the form of a child. Their personality and quirks work surprisingly well with child logic. Arrodoes acts more lenient towards 'sherlock'(klein) (well duh) but everyone thinks it's because 'sherlock'(klein) was the person who was holding them at the time ( 'sherlock'(klein) was still holding Arrodoes when they turned into a toddler)

Zangwill descovers that 'sherlock' is klein and is the reason the spirit world attack happened and an red gloves member is put on 'sherlock'(klein) watch, ( the red gloves because they are the ones looking for zangwill, him being a betrayer of the church and all, leonard is the one chosen ( he's trying to get merits for the next potion)

leonard figures out 'sherlock' is klein and they have a child raising fluff.

the baby hound of forgum follows klein around and Arrodoes lets information out that he's there and he joins the 'family'.

Chapter Text

Time loop world where everyone is in an erenal time loop of worlds without Klein, Klein doesn't wake up in the fifth era of any at all and when it gets to the world that he is in they slowly get their memories of those times.

(More people die, things go badly, the nighthawks who have been remembering past timelines ((only after Klein changes them, (((eg, Klein revives after newly arriving and the day after they remember what happened in the other timelines,))) do they notice that they have more than one set of memories )) start to get angry at Klein when someone dies because they start idolising him as the path of light away from the dark and miserable life they were stuck in)

Klein has no memories of any timeline because he is not there to make any.

Only people who have been in contact with Klein can remember.

The moretti siblings are much more clingy and attentive of Klein because they remember that he didn't die In this world.

The ones who remember only have their own memories and hearing of the previous timelines not anything else, and they can't change from time to time because they only tell/know the difference is that Klein this there. And Klein is the one who triggers the memories.

Klein has no idea what is happening.

Just the angst potential of the nighthawks/beyonders that meet Klein being subconsciously angry/upset at Klein for not being their ultimate savior, for being HUMAN instead of a perfect human loving God.

They don't realize the connection between the fool and the changes that come with Klein yet.

Chapter Text

the system drags seth into a gate before his rematch with the conductor but after he becomes third order (i think he becomes third order before) and he uses his past reading power (will correct once i remember the name).

the gate is about celestial worthy's revival plan. it is a evolving s+(as in it evolves up to s
+) gate but seth solves? it when it was A by solidifying kleins anchor when he uses his third order power and knows all about kleins goals and wishes and that lets klein get the upper hand in the battle. Klein almost lost as the apocalypse did happen and the tarot club and others didn't survive and once klein becomes the new lord of mysteries seth 'invites' him to be one of his anomalys so he can see at least a version of the home that klein wishes he could see again, and klein who has lost all once again follows.

the others that seth has contracted are slightly scared of klein, klein's power level has decreased dramatically and he is mostly in slumber till seth becomes strong enough to handle him more.

Chapter Text

kim soleum as agent Grapes gets sent to save the civilians zhou mingrui, aminese and huang tao from a disaster, that projects them into an isekai like story that works worldwide and sends them to the same place, a place of twisted whimsy, fears and horror fantasy.

the disaster forms when one wishes to be in a different world/dreams of being a fantasy noble/daydreams about being in the isekai genre when their own hope is drained into desperation and helplessness, when they are at their lowest, possibly when they are holding something based on the 'deity' (darkness entity) lord of mysteries.

zhou mingrui gets saved but Rossell and evernight can't as their minds have been there far to long and have aged past that of the human body can contain. Their body ages rapidly to try and match that of the mind now is at. ( Because it was the spirit bodys that aged in the disaster so the body's tried to match and failed)

Time turns differently as each day in the real world is a year in the disaster.

The only way the bureau knew that people needed saving was when multiple people went missing at once and they followed the missing people to the disaster or kim soleum overhears about lots of people going missing and remembers a disaster that was never found by any organisation ( maybe by the church) but was decently profitable ( soleum also can just get dragged in on his own as 'his world' that he want to go home to can be a type of isekai and he is filled with fear and desperation to go to.)

Chapter Text

Nighthawks do a mental test on klein to further test his memory and find that he remembers very little (but enough that they do not think he was possessed by a evil spirit, and as they aren't as aware of the higher sequences that allow body takeover with the memory of the original)

As a result the moretti sibling are told of the beyonder world.

The Moretti's as a result become much more protective of klein and the nighthawks also take on a more careful approach as klein only has about three-ish years of memories and they talk to klein as if he will break if startled / as a toddler, especially as klein makes some time line mistakes (he doesn't know certain words, actions((when meeting people)) and other little timeline differences that just make him seem more childlike, like he's finds things out for the first time((( he is))).

Chapter Text

Nighthawks and moretti sibling bonding.

- the moretti sibling have to move into a house near/is company housing for keeping an eye on Klein to make sure he doesn't leave town before five years.

-This housing being near dunn's, Dunn becomes a parental/older sibling figure to the Moretti's and Daly trying to get on dunn's good side by 'showing' her parent side by looking after the siblings. ( Mellesia needs a female role model)

- the moretti siblings are seen in at the nighthawks more often (benson shares tales of when Klein was younger((OG Klein)) and Malesia gossips about Klein love life with rosselin)

After Klein and dunn's death Leonard gets family dinner invites that he is too guilty to accept (they think he was Klein boyfriend,)(Leonard starts coming after he is back In contact with Klein to tell him about how his siblings are going)(Daly was also invited to these dinners and when she died Leonard went to tell the siblings and adequesed to their invitation to stay for dinner finally)
(The siblings still send letters to the tingen nighthawks and goes to the graves of Dunn and Klein (as well as Kenley and old Neal )

-after Melissa becomes a beyounder she finds out that Klein, Dunn Daly and Leonard were all beyounders and asks Leonard if he can tell her story about them in the beyonder world and what really happened to them.

-the mellesia gets a bit more startled when she meets Dwayne dantz as he was more based off of Dunn this time and because she was familiar with Dunn as well.
