The Husk of What I Used to Be

“I’m sorry. I am so dearly sorry, Barbara and Young Atlas. You provided me with a family and a home, and now all I can provide for you is this disgusting husk of what I use to be.”  In this AU, Strickler knows Jim is the Trollhunter, but Jim doesn't know Strickler is a changeling. Otto is the one who sent out Angor Rot, and Strickler has been working behind the scenes to try and stop Jim from being killed. When Otto and the Janus Order find out that Strickler is trying to save his favorite student, they inject Strickler with a potion mixed with grave sand that permanently turns changelings into raging monsters. For Strickler, however, the injection doesn’t bring out his rage, but his maternal instincts. In other words, Jim wakes up one morning to a troll who constantly mothers him in the most troll-like way possible.
