Fun lil prompt idea I came up with! I’m a sucker for AUs that are plot heavy and focus on political machinations, with a healthy side of romantic subplot (lumity). Luz and Amity are insanely intelligent so I know any plans they cook up together would be awesome (with the support of Willow and Gus of course). See here for what I’d envision them to look like.

Context: Canon compliant until the end of episode 19: Young Blood, Old Souls. Luz, Amity and Willow are 18. Gus is 16. Blight twins are 20. Other side characters are featured as important connections to covens our main characters aren’t in. Willow, Gus and the Blight twins (and other characters working with our coup plotters) are employed at their respective covens. Everyone thinks their magic is binded BUT with Eda’s help they were able to get fake seals, so they just have to hide their other magic around people who don’t know.

Luz is on the run from the Emperor’s Coven. Luz still lives with Eda and King in The Owl House. Lilith joined them following the events of episode 19. Belos is after Luz since she possesses the key to the portal of the human realm. The portal has been complete for some time now, but without the key it won’t open. Luz needs the portal to get home and see her mom again, but understands she can’t get to it without endangering everyone. Belos needs to be taken out first.

Amity is an esteemed member of the Emperor’s Coven. She joined at 17 (after graduating from Hexside) with the intention of quickly rising in the ranks, gaining allies by turning members against Belos, and dethroning Belos through a revolution. Along with her friends, Amity wants to abolish the coven system and allow witches to practice whatever magic they want. No more monarchy- instead a witches council of elected representatives will govern the Boiling Isles (idk something along those lines).

Luz is the face of the rebellion. Amity is working from the inside. The coup has two parts to it, happening simultaneously. One is turning the general public in their favor through use of the media/news and networking through various connections at the 9 covens. The second is happening within the Emperor’s Coven itself, gathering the inside intel and allies necessary to overthrow Belos. Luz and Amity started planning it back in high school. They’ve been making allies and getting way stronger through training over the years to execute their plan without a hitch. When they were 14, the Day of Unity passed without anything happening since Belos couldn’t open the portal without the key. As it approaches again this year, the pressure is higher than ever on both sides.

Luz and Amity have a strong bond, through thick and thin. Their romantic relationship develops over the course of the story. Amity still has a crush on Luz, but has left it alone (for now) with all the work planning a coup requires. She gets teased about it a lot by her siblings and Willow. Luz doesn’t know about Amity’s feelings, despite all the jokes Willow and Eda crack. She’s hyperfocused in refining her glyph magic and planning the coup. Luz doesn’t realize just how much she really loves Amity until something major happens.

If ANY writers are interested in taking this AU on, please do!!! I have some more ideas about it if you’re interested. If you write something for it, please just send me the link so I can read it :))
