For this role-swap AU, I'm thinking of kaguya being a runaway heiress from a prestigious family in tsukiji who now lives on her own as a tech-savvy shut-in
Iroha, a kitsune that kaguya saved in the rain, thought Iroha was a stray(kinda want to add in a fox wedding ref here) 1/8

After nursing the fox back to health, kaguya falls asleep hugging it, only to wake up to a cute girl in her clothes, cleaning the apartment
After kaguya gets scolded for her messy room being "like a shrine in need of purification," the girl introduces herself as Iroha 2/8

Iroha explains she fled the spirit realm to escape her overbearing mother, who tried to force her into the mold of a high-ranking celestial fox
Hating the cold, rigid duties of a deity, she longed for the human music her late human father used to play 3/8

To help Iroha experience the human world she's so curious about, kaguya convinces her to enter the tsukuyomi, there they see an announcement of a composing tournament hosted by future iroha 4/8

Not sure if the Kuzunoha myth fits Iroha or her mom better
Maybe the mother lived it, and now Iroha is repeating the cycle: her true form is found out (maybe kaguya gets ambushed?), and sheโs forced to abandon the one she loves 5/8

Would calling future Iroha "Kuzunoha" be too on the nose? The shared ่ (leaf) kanji in ่ใฎ่(Kuzunoha) and ๅฝฉ่(Iroha) is such a perfect link though ahsjshs 6/8

Love the idea of there being rain as iroha is about to be taken away bcus it could be taken as a "fox wedding" ref
After getting forcefully taken away she realizes that the only way to bypass the laws is to become a deity powerful enough to write her own rules 7/8

She tries to return the same way yachiyo did, but because her spiritual energy is still so inexperienced, she overshoots the jump and ends up 8,000 years in the past :โD
Im not a writer i only draw,,this is just my delusions,,so dont mind me,, might draw it in the future idk 8/8
