i did! initially, i wasn't apping with jem and ray, so i had to figure out an au for jade that didn't involve bigs and liz. what i came up with mirrored canon pretty closely... but the major aspects of it were that jade was an heiress to a gun manufacturing company, and that her parents both traveled so much that she ended up opting to get her education in a boarding school (in scotland, because harry potter jokes, because jade's the WITCH of space hahaha). the main theme with this au was that i wanted to replicate how isolated jade was in canon; she grew up alone and on an island, which explains why she can be so weird.

were there any challenges in making yato's au? i'm only vaguely familiar with his canon (i keep getting it recced to me but i'm lazy.....im sorry) but it seems a lot of his identity hinges on him being a more....lower tier god, i guess? was that difficult to translate, or did you find that it worked itself out?

ngl I laughed at the witch of space joke... I'm glad that she is still living in such a gun-filled family now. :')

Yato's shitty bottom-tier god status in canon mostly manifests through him being extremely forgettable to humans, having to market himself heavily for wish-granting work, and living a largely solitary life on the streets (vs. big name gods, who have big entourages of retainers, lots of money from offerings, and big shrines or comfortable homes).

Making him some homeless dude for this AU was a pretty natural translation I think? The unfortunate reality is that most people tend to look away from the conspicuously homeless in everyday life, so Yato lives in a "blind spot" to people on the street in Recolle, much like in canon. In practice though it's been a little hard to maintain the integrity of his homelessness because people just keep feeding him and inviting them into their homes and trying to pay him well for his work, basically being REALLY NICE AND DECENT so lmfao. I guess it's just NPCs who really ignore him...

Does Jade have any insecurities about herself?
