Tips for Redeemed! Simon Laurent AU writers
Before starting i just want to clarify this is only an opinion and you can think otherwise if you want anyway here we go!
I still think that a redeemed Simon from infinity train even tho he would be redeemed at some point in your AU he should not loose his character traits i mean he should be showing traces of inmature, logical, controlling, insecure, distrustful, frustrated, short tempered, straight forward, stubborn, (because of his own low emotional intelligence) fun loving and cute child like behavior at times (just let the negative traits show mildly as a remnant of his old self so he dosen´t turn back to villain or if your are going to use them like that make him struggle with that and turn back to rason) besides his hobbies with his novel and miniatures oh.. and also make him extremly edgy and grumpy… because he was a villain remember?… aaaand not a nice one either….
finally our boy would have a lot of emotional walls to keep pepole from getting close, because both he dosent want to get hurt and also because he belives he is unworthy of love (After all the damage he has done and understanding it and with that temper and emotions of his he would want to stay away from pepole.)
Simon could actually come back
the eon ocilator (the evolution thermostat that these guys had) on season 4

said artifact with the right modifications can restore things in a point forward or backwards in their evolution... said artifact dont have any limits tho repairing broken things and stuff
if that´s the case then using the artifact Grace or Samantha could... (GASP)

On why tho...
Samantha could resurrect Simon because of guilt for indirectly causing his own demise (she knows the train better than anyone so probably knows where the artifact is and how to use it)

Grace could resurrect simon too if she had said arftifact from the apex previous raids as for why is because (a) she still apreciates his friend and because of 8 years of friendship (b) she still fells guilty about it deep inside emotionally even tho she admited it was not responsable for it at first she would be hesitant (because he was the most terrible person you could imagine) and probaly would be spending days thinking if she should resurrect him or not...but if she does it.. it could have 2 outcomes

Simon dosen´t change and keeps being a villan in the series

Simon opens a path for redemption (unlikely... possible but unlikely unless he is resurrected in child form (it dosent seems that the artifact can turn back mentality but everything is possible))

however there are one requisite for this to happen: Grace or Samantha must have keeped simon´s remains
This is only an idea and could be wrong... but seems oddly convinient to introdue an artifact that can turn back or forward time itself on certain objects it is placed on like a train car, a giant piglet, a porcelain cow, etc. anyway writers now that infinity train has ended for now... this can be used as ideas for a future AU for your fics...

more simon ideas for alternate Au
“Simon would’ve killed Hazel if Grace hadn’t lied to him!” lol no he wouldn’t have and the show literally tells us he wouldn’t
No te preocupes cariño,
No tienes que apurarte cariño cuando estás conmigo.
No te adelantes corriendo,
Mejor toma el largo camino, hay mucho que ver.
Cuando te detengas a escuchar,
No perderás oportunidades de jugar,
Siempre tendremos mañana,
No tenemos que tomar tiempo de hoy.
Así que,
No te preocupes cariño,
No tienes que apurarte cariño cuando estás conmigo.
Solo tómalo con calma,
mi pequeño pan comido,
siempre estarás conmigo.

Does anyone have the Spanish lyrics for Tuba's Lullaby?
more Simon analysis
Simon is having an anxiety attack while Grace is just chilling - Simon and Grace about Change

In just second episode we could see their views on change
Simon is scared of change. It makes him feel anxious, it takes away his safety. When they entered the jungle car, he got scared of sudden change of situation and place. He got calmer about when Grace told him that "it's gonna be like old times", she made him think that they're not really in a new situation, she made this situation remain him of old times, safe times.
Grace was chill about sudden change of place. She was curious, positive about it. She saw the positives, like that she has Simon by her side.
He was scared of change.
She wanted to explore it.
Simon might have taken the wrong choices but however lets not forget that Grace played a part on it even if it was unkowingly… if you want to create a reason why Simon is mad at Grace and create something from his perspective this is for you... and remember in this tragedy nobody is to blame.
Should Simon Have Friend-Dumped Grace?
Note: this article does not sufficiently weigh Simon’s bad behaviors in Episode 11, “The New Apex”. This article has been kept unmodified for posterity.
Part 1 of 2: Series Abstract and “Strikes”
(Caveat: there’s a convincing case to be made they’re in a codependent abusive relationship, so treating this as a friendship gone bad may be the incorrect protocol or oversimplified. Still, for the sake of not re-writing the whole thing, it will be presented with the thesis they were originally close friends. Due to the difficulty of researching causes to friend-dump someone who isn’t toxic, some references come from toxic-friend protocol, so there would be some overlap.)

Abstract
The protagonists of Infinity Train’s third season, Grace Monroe and Simon Laurent, start off very close. However, as the season progresses, their friendship deteriorates, as clear through dialogue, but also facial expressions, body language, and vocal details. And yet, Simon chose to stay with her and obey her, if with increasing reluctance, and cared deeply about her (to him) inexplicable behavior changes. And it’s because he cared so much about Grace that he had to find out what was causing everything, leading to that shocking moment: “We….just won’t tell Simon, okay?” Later on, he shoves her off a train bridge to certain death, and briefly looks shocked and sad before he descends into maniacal laughter, and is then killed by a Ghom.
Perhaps if Simon had friend-dumped Grace earlier on, he could have avoided much of his turmoil.
