TGS MEDIEVAL AU :0
Is this Historically accurate? no. Does that matter? no.
Alright, This is gonna be a lot, so thou shalt be warned
In the Au, Robert is a prince and Lanyon Sr. is the King, they rule over a small kindom somewhere in England - name TBA (so not like real monarchies which rule over entire countries etc.) The premise is basically; The Lanyon's personal/private doctor recently passed away so they call in a new doctor/chemist from Scotland - did you guess? yep, It's Jekyll. Hyde exists before Henry/Edward meets Robert (I haven't worked out the exact logistics about it yet, but I will) Jekyll/Hyde are more Chemists/Alchemists than Doctors but they are both still very good doctors regardless (so they don't really wear the 'plague mask' thing) I aged only Jekyll, Hyde and Lanyon down to about their early 20's so it matches around the original timing of when J&H met Robert in TGS. There are other smaller reasons but they aren't to important, all you need to know is that it doesn't really change anything
Lanyon is betrothed to Everly from a neighbouring kingdom -this is where it differs slightly from TGS, it's a political marriage not a lavender marriage. Neither Robert nor Everly are happy about this however, they are both only children in royalty so they don't really have an option.
Hyde is essentially the local gremlin that has in-built eyebags and a sense to sell you things not very discreetly that he probably shouldn't be selling. His Cape is comedically large and has a very extensive collection of illegal powders, drugs, and other nefarious items. Almost everybody knows Hyde becasue at some point they have all needed some rare item from him. - this is where the blackfog comes in (yes it exists!) the Blackfog is basically the same but Hyde really wants to go so he can buy/sell lots of items for his little side-business he has going on, however Lanyon Sr. is opposed to it and it's existence because well... illegal.
*Hyde also goes by: The Spirit of [insert Kingdom's name] at night (soooooo original, ik)
Jekyll stays pretty much the same, He really cares about his reputation so he can move up on the social ladder and create his own Science business at some point, and I mean he doesn't want to make a fool of himself in front of the King of all people, that wouldn't be a very good look, would it?
In this universe, The lodgers are all citizens of the small kingdom and they all sort of have different occupations/roles in the town. They can't all be scientists, but do not fear because they still as equally crazy and chaotic as before. Rachel is the Lanyon's personal chef but she also helps run the bakery in town with Mr. Doddle. Jasper looks after most of the animals and creatures in the kingdom, he used to be a farmer but moved to get away from home. I am yet to work out how Jekyll and Jaspers relationship dynamic stays the same in this universe but I will figure something out.
There is A LOT of Jekyon and Lanyde going on here, so I've got something for everyone, (there may or may not be a masquerade at some point...) and it's not just centred around romance, there is lots of other plot stuff happening so do not fear my ace/aro friends (or just people who aren't a fan of romance)!
That's most of it for now... I'll draw some more stuff at some point and give some extra details, If you have any questions please ask (my asks are open) I'd love to hear from you all!!! Don't be afraid to offer any suggestions or other criticisms. Maybe I'll write a fanfic one day who knows, we will see.
Thanks for listening to my rant (*^▽^*)
*Footnote - I don't think you guys realise how hard it was to make hyde not look like either A.) a fucking elf or B.) Link. Did I succeed? not sure.
24 and 13 with Hyde/Jekyll and Utterson please? I love reading your other three! You're an amazing writer!
Thank you very much anon! :D Here you go!

Spring, 1853
Henry and Gabriel squeezed up in their hidding spot, not wanting to get caught as a bunch of students passed near them, one of their teachers leading the way. Gabriel realized at that moment just how close they were, and felt himself blushing. Fortunately, his friend was too busy watching if the the coast was clear; the moment he turned back to him, the brunette had managed to calm down. Their eyes met and Henry smiled almost shyly at him, leaning back against the wall with his hands in his back. The two ultimately averted their gaze and waited quietly, a smile still on their lips until their math teacher -the class they were supposed to attend to- walked by, complaining that he was “not paid enough for this”. Henry stiffened a laugh.
“Shh! You’ll get us caught!” Gabriel tried not to laugh with him.
“Sorry!” the blonde student chuckled. “I’m just so excited!”
The two did their best to contain themselves, and rushed outside the moment the courtyard was empty, running faster as they heard their own laughter echoing.
Summer 1886
Utterson pulled a laughing Jekyll by the hand. The lawyer held a finger to his lips with a “shh!”, grinning nonetheless, while they both ran downstairs and out in the gardens.
Once out of sight, the music and fuss of the party were no more than a distant echo, Jekyll snuggled against his lover and almost purred -in a very Hyde-like manner- when Utterson started caressing his hair.
A silent gaze was shared and the two men kissed.
Time to make up for lost time.
Oh, I'm doing pretty good, I guess.
