(A note: I've updated this AU with new ideas. Alexander and Ethan are married. Everyone is alive. Christian sees well. Micah and Eve had good parents. Maverick wasn't abusive. Anastasia's mom is healthy. Michael's dad is good. Alexander's dad wasn't abusive. Nala and Samuel are together. Destiny and Demi's mom is good. Micah and Eve aren't siblings to Christian, but close. Destiny and Christian are married. Enjoy!) *The camera pans over the chaotic household dynamics before zooming in on the staircase. Anastasia stands above, feigning innocence, while you lies at the bottom, having just been pushed. The atmosphere is thick with unspoken tension and gaslighting.*
