* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Dio and Jonathan. Dio still kills Jonathan and steals his body, but feeling sad about the loss of his WorthyOpponent he revives him as a disembodied head. After 100 years, the two have become VitriolicBestBuds of a sort. Dio still isn't giving back Jonathan's body, though.
[[spoiler: In the main Sapphire Heartverse fic, however, Jonathan finally gets his body back, with Dio's original body being restored as well.]]

The AU takes the form of mostly a series of asks, though a fanfic separate from the asks is also being written. [[https://sapphire-heart-tippy.tumblr.com/ The AU as a whole can be seen here.]]

The AU takes the form of mostly a series of asks, though a fanfic separate from the asks is also being written. [[https://sapphire-heart-tippy.tumblr.com/ The AU as a whole can be seen here.]]
]] Currently, five separate AUs exist in a [[TheMultiverse multiverse]] that frequently crosses over with each other:

* '''Sapphire Heartverse Main Fic:''' The main canon of the Sapphire Hearverse, featuring an alternate Good Ending and Bad Ending
* '''OVA-verse:''' A DarkerAndEdgier timeline based off on the 1993 Stardust Crusaders OVA, with the characters having a different color palette
* '''Jonny Headverse:''' A LighterAndSofter AU of the original fic, with the notable distinction of not having Jonathan being the only living severed head, with other deceased characters throughout the parts of JJBA being revived as heads
* '''Voidverse:''' A PersonalitySwap AU where Jonathan is the vampire, Dio is the severed head in the fridge, Tippy is Jonathan's stern and serious agent and Vanilla is the lighthearted and silly newcomer.
* '''Seaphire Heartverse:''' An AU where the cast are all [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent merpeople]], with Dio being a tentacled sea-witch living in a shipwreck, and Jonathan being a former merfolk transformed into a clam.



** A more obvious example in the Seaphire Heartverse AU, where all the characters are [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent merpeople]] instead.



** In the Seaphire Heartverse AU, where Jonathan and company are formerly merpeople who were transformed into clams by Dio, they instead are forced to move using their ''tongues'' (much like a clam's foot) and are thus mostly immobile.



* GracefulInTheirElement: In the Seaphire Heartverse AU, Tippy, Bel and the other merpeople are predictably elegant swimmers, but on land can only flop around. Subversions are Vanilla Ice, who being part eel can slither around somewhat better, and Jonathan, who being a clam means he can't move much anyway either underwater or on land.



* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: The Seaphire Heartverse is an AU where all the main characters are merpeople living in a sunken ship. Vanilla Ice is an eel, Hol Horse is a seahorse, Dio is a half-vampire squid sea witch and Jonathan is a whale shark, though instead of being reduced into a severed head he instead gets turned into a clam.



* PerplexingPearlProduction: Jonathan, having been transformed into a clam in the Seaphire Heartverse AU, is able to spit pearls from his mouth.
* PersonalitySwap: In the Voidverse AU, Vanilla Ice is the goofy and playful newcomer while Tippy is the stern and serious master of the mansion. Jonathan and Dio also swap places, with Jonathan being the vampire with a stolen body while Dio is the living severed head kept in a jar in the fridge.



* Really700YearsOld: Jonathan is over a hundred years old, yet still has not aged, as the magic elixir that keeps his severed head alive also makes him ageless and immortal. Erina and Speedwagon, who both lived to grow old, are resurrected as their young selves' heads, yet still remembering their whole lives. In the main Sapphire Heartverse Fic, Jonathan [[spoilers: retains said immortality even after getting his body back.]]

* AngstWhatAngst: Jonathan is surprisingly nonchalant about being a severed head. He's HappilyMarried with Erina (who is also a disembodied head), is now frenemies with Dio, and gets to enjoy the conveniences of modern life and a cast of fun new friends.
* BackFromTheDead: As the setting takes place at about the events of Stardust Crusaders, characters that appeared in ''Phantom Blood'' return...as resurrected disembodied heads akin to those of ''WesternAnimation/Futurama''.
* ContinuitySnarl: The AU disregards canon and basically just throws around plot points, characters and scenarios for fun. Characters from other parts appear on a whim, even alternate-universe counterparts of the same characters such as the OVA versions of them.
* DeadpanSnarker: Basically everyone, especially Jonathan.



* HappilyAdopted: ''Okuyasu'' of all people joins the household and becomes Tippy and Vanilla's honorary kid of sorts.
* LighterAndSofter: Everyone are frenemies at worst, villains are AffablyEvil, dead characters are alive, or brought back to life, and it mostly plays off like a sitcom scenario PlayedForLaughs.



* NiceGuy: Hol Horse is portrayed as the most gentlemanly of Dio's agents.
* OneTruePairing: The focus of the plot is the romantic relationship between Tippy and Vanilla Ice.



* StatusQuoIsGod: The reason Jonathan remains body-less, and why his makeshift bodies such as roombas, drones or Joseph's hand don't last.

Added DiffLines:

''Sapphire Heartverse'' is a ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdvventure'' AlternateUniverseFic depicting the adventures of Tippy, an OriginalCharacter and his shenanigans within Dio Brando's household. Here, the story takes on a DenserAndWackier approach in a sitcom-style parody, focusing on the random misadventures of Tippy, his relationship with Vanilla Ice, Dio's agents, and [[ItMakesSenseInContext Jonathan's disembodied severed head.]]

The AU takes the form of mostly a series of asks, though a fanfic separate from the asks is also being written. [[https://sapphire-heart-tippy.tumblr.com/ The AU as a whole can be seen here.]]

!!This work contains examples of the following tropes:
----
* AffablyEvil: Dio and his agents are depicted this way, save for Steely Dan and Alessi who become DesignatedVillains.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Dio and Jonathan. Dio still kills Jonathan and steals his body, but feeling sad qbout the loss of his WorthyOpponent he revives him as a disembodied head. After 100 years, the two have become VitriolicBestBuds of a sort. Dio still isn't giving back Jonathan's body, though.
* FantasyKitchenSink: Many examples for RuleOfFunny.
* LosingYourHead: In this AU, Jonathan is alive, but as Dio steals his body as in with canon, he is a living disembodied head. Later entries would add Zeppeli, Speedwagon and Erina, as well as Steely Dan and Alessi later on as punishment from Dio.
* OriginalCharacter: Tippy, the main protagonist and AuthorAvatar.
* StatusQuoIsGod: The reason Jonathan remains body-less, and why his makeshift bodies such as roombas, drones or Joseph's hand don't last.
