Arcade AU

Arcade AU is a fairly new AU (Alternate Universe) within the Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons fandom. In the AU, the Big Four are characters from their own, individual arcade games in Litwak's Arcade from Disney's Wreck-It Ralph.

About the AU
Though this concept was talked about in forums and blogs, it was never fully realized until the Icebreaker pairing was made.

In this AU, Jack, Merida, Hiccup, Rapunzel and other such characters found in different arcade games in the arcade, sharing the same digital universe as Ralph and his friends. Whether or not the games they came from are video-game adaptations of their own respective films (from our real world or not) differs from story to story.

The most common scenario in this AU places the characters as super-deformed versions of themselves as racers in Sugar Rush.

Wreck-it Ralph
Since Ralph is someone that lives and works in a arcade game, he is commonly portrayed as himself (much like how Hiccup is portrayed as himself in the Viking AU).

Vanellope von Schweetz
Since Vanellope is someone that lives and is part of an arcade game, she is commonly portrayed as herself (much like how Jack is portrayed as himself in the Seasons Guardians AU).

King Candy
Since King Candy/Turbo is someone that lived and "was" part of two arcade games, he is commonly portrayed as himself (much like how Gothel is portrayed as herself in the Rapunzel AU).

The Once-ler
Fans have cast the Once-ler as Vanellope's big, caring brother, King Once-Lick (due to the Vaniller pairing), that became King Greed-Pop (which is based on his Greed-er side) when a virus took over and filled him up with greed. He can also be the Bad Guy in his own game, that is based on The Loax film; bad and mean for when the arcade is opened and later becomes his kind and helpful self when the arcade is closed for the night. Much like Ralph.

Queen Elsa
Due to the Icebreaker pairing, when fans have Elsa and Ralph switch clothes for fun, it also has fans portray Elsa as a female version of Wreck-It Ralph. The same with Vanellope von Schweetz, as fans sometimes place Elsa in an older version of Vanellope's clothes for the Elsanellope pairing, or when they cast Elsa as an older version of the young Sugar Rush Princess.
