    Summary

    this is an obligatory sbi foster au

     

    While obligatory, this series challenges a few pervasive narratives and hopes to rewrite foster aus as a concept through radical acceptance, diversity, and realistic healing.

    Most people writing foster aus have no idea what they're doing. And tbf- that's okay. Most people aren't reading foster aus for accuracy. But as someone who is knowledgable about these systems and the trauma of foster care, I really wanted to see an au that tackled these concepts head on. So I did it myself.

    Thus, encompass was born, a foster au that tackles topics such as
    -disability
    -neurodiversity
    -queer identities
    -self harm and recovery
    -abuse cycles
    -intersex identities
    -how the foster system actually works
    -guilt, shame, and pride
    -and so much more

    Summary

    “Why do you think you’re from a different world?” Mydei asks.

    “Last night, I went to sleep in the same bedroom as you in the house we've had since last year,” Phainon says. “This morning, I woke up in an unfamiliar room that looks like it was built a thousand years ago. You weren’t in bed with me, there wasn’t a wedding band on my finger, and”—his eyes flicker to Mydei’s chest, a fiery blush blooming on his face—“you’re half-naked.”

    “We sleep together?” Mydei asks, surprised.

    Phainon deadpans.

    “We’re married.”

    (Phainon finds himself in a modern Amphoreus where he and Mydei have been married for years. Mydei finds himself with a Phainon that claims the two of them are married.)

    Summary

    He turns to Mydei, letting a gentle smile curve on his lips. Mydei’s eyes narrow to slits.

    “Hello there,” Phainon greets softly. He crouches down, inching closer. Mydei doesn’t budge, only tenses like a tightly coiled spring. “My name is Phainon. You’re Mydeimos, right?”

    Mydei doesn’t respond, lips pressed tightly shut. Phainon’s smile wavers, chest squeezing tight.

    “No one’s going to hurt you here,” he murmurs, extending his arm out. Mydei growls. Fear flashes through his eyes for a fleeting second, but it’s enough to have Phainon freezing in place, breath catching in his throat.

    (A mishap at the Abyss of Fate leaves Mydei a child whose only memories are of the Sea of Souls.)
