so I had a silly idea for the United Twins AU
what if Pucci ended up being the one to go check out Giorno :)
so it's been years right? Pucci and Jotaro are still close friends, Domenico and Perla are out doing Whatever They're Doing, maybe working for the Foundation, and things all seem fine
Finding out Dio has a kid....... not great, all things considered. Not the end of the world, after all for all they know the kid could be a completely normal, Not Evil person, but it would be best to check. After all, there is also the possibility the kid has a Stand and given Dio's....... it's likely to be powerful one
So Pucci and Whitesnake get sent over to check it out and worst case scenario take the kid's Stand
now, Pucci has quite the collection of Discs at this point. Any of the truly dangerous ones he gives to the Foundation to keep, but the rest? He has obtained a mass amount of CD cases organized by type and function, and even has a couple cases specifically organized with the intention of Foundation Work
So Pucci comes to Italy prepared for shit to go sideways, and shit does. Black Sabbath is easy to deal with, and he does trust Giorno has good intentions........ but to be fair, this is still a 15 year old seemingly on his own and ready to throw his lot in with some of the most dangerous people there are
also it's an excuse to poke around for Polnareff, and he's definitely not turning that possibility down
however....... well, Pucci's never been very good fighting on the frontlines. He knows this. That's his brother's thing.
So he ends up watching from the metaphorical shadows. With the help of a Stand or two he manages to tail the Bucci Gang completely out of sight
specifically, he's there when Bucciarati and Trish get attacked by Diavlo :)
so he intervenes and everyone's high key freaking out about who the hell this guy is, Giorno's questioning whether or not he should say anything, Pucci's slowly getting a headache and Diavlo's more or less in a coma on the floor because he got his whole soul and brain yoinked
fun times
(also completely random but I think Whitesnake should be allowed to take Mista's gun. As a treat. Also I think a Stand shooting someone is just hilarious in general and I don't want to miss out on the opportunity)
Okay hear me out:
Joot in Italy + United Twins
Pucci and Domenico keeping watch from far away while Jotaro joined the Bucci Gang
specifically, them watching him suddenly appear with Trish and Bucciarati and a giant hole in his chest
and just. this is Jotaro. Jotaro. Their best fucking friend who's helped them out more times than they can count and who they've helped in return. In the last decade they've been through thick and thin, the flippant and the important
and they watch him die
they watch him crumple to the ground in a pool of his own blood, watch the light drain from his eyes, watch Star Platinum begin to crumble
well...... I think it's pretty safe to say Diavolo's life span has been substantially shortened
