About the AU
After after the events of Bridge to the Turnabout, Franziska has to contend with the fact that she never wanted to become a prosecutor, but was never given a choice. If she ever wants to escape her father's shadow, she needs to decide what to do next.
And to complicate things further, Franziska also has to manage her feelings for Maya Fey.
Breaks from canon directly after the ending of AA3, with the other main change being the inclusion of modern technology. Maya is a trans woman, my discussion of why that is important to me is detailed in an essay on this site, here
