The year is 2010. The sun is setting over the rosy stones of the Basilica of St. Sernin. In the empty chevet, under the high vaulted ceiling, a woman stands with her arms outstretched. Her fingers strain outwards, as if hooked on fishing lines, out to the red light slanting through the narrow windows. She tilts her head back, and her hair falls away from her kaleidoscope eyes, and she thinks about the new world.
A cult called Heaven's Mantle has dug its claws into most of Western Europe - but so silently that only members even know it's there. The cult's leader, known only as Lucy, has a singular goal: to resurrect DIO, the godlike being she's revered since birth. Failure is not an option. Therefore, the first step of her plan is to gather up the red strings of fate, and pull everyone connected to DIO's downfall into her web; to dispose of them neatly, and quickly, and thoroughly, and to leave no stone unturned. No more Joestars. No more Zeppelis. Anyone who has ever so much as breathed a kind word to those entangled in their briar patch of fate; anyone who harbors them; anyone who has supported them; anyone who shares as much as a droplet of blood: she needs them eradicated.
She has her traps laid; Heaven's Mantle has infiltrated the Speedwagon Foundation, placing her in the perfect position to completely exterminate the Joestars and all of their allies, in a coup that will span generations.
It is on this bleak chess table that we open, following a group of people grappling with their own legacies, and with the enduring fanaticism of fate.
Silver Legacy is a fanpart for Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, set after Vento Aureo and just before Stone Ocean. The universe of Silver Legacy is an "everyone lives" AU - both to allow people the most possible options for making "legacy characters," original characters who are connected to canon characters from JJBA canon; and to avoid major spoilers from each part.
