The Raid Redemption is a 2011 Indonesian action film directed by Gareth Evans and starring Iko Uwais, Yayan Ruhian and Joe Taslim. The film follows a SWAT team that raids a rundown apartment building controlled by a ruthless crime lord and his army of thugs. The film is widely praised for its intense and brutal fight scenes, as well as its simple but effective plot.
But what if the film was set in an alternate universe where the characters had different backgrounds, motivations and relationships? That is the premise of The Raid Redemption Indonesia Au, a fanfiction written by an anonymous author on Archive of Our Own. The fanfiction explores how the events of the film would change if some of the characters were undercover cops, rebels, spies or even lovers.
The fanfiction has 10 chapters and over 40,000 words. It is rated M for mature audiences and contains graphic violence, language and sexual content. The fanfiction also features some original characters and twists that add more depth and drama to the story. The author has done extensive research on Indonesian culture, history and politics to create a realistic and immersive setting for the fanfiction.
The Raid Redemption Indonesia Au is a must-read for fans of the film who want to see a different perspective on the characters and their actions. It is also a great example of how fanfiction can expand and enrich the original source material with creativity and imagination.
The fanfiction focuses on the relationship between Rama, the protagonist of the film, and Andi, his estranged brother who works for the crime lord. In the film, Rama is a rookie cop who joins the raid to find and rescue Andi, who he hopes will leave his criminal life behind. Andi is a smart and charismatic leader who has a loyal following among the thugs, but he also secretly feeds information to the police.
In the fanfiction, Rama and Andi are not brothers, but lovers who met in college and fell in love. They had to hide their relationship from their families and society, as homosexuality is frowned upon in Indonesia. Rama joined the police to make a difference, while Andi joined the crime lord to infiltrate his organization and expose his corruption. They lost contact when Andi went undercover, and Rama thought he was dead until he saw him in the apartment building.
The fanfiction explores how Rama and Andi cope with their reunion, their conflicting loyalties and their feelings for each other. It also shows how their relationship affects the other characters, such as Jaka, the leader of the SWAT team, who is Rama's mentor and friend; Mad Dog, the sadistic enforcer of the crime lord, who is Andi's rival and nemesis; and Tama, the crime lord himself, who is Andi's boss and benefactor.
The fanfiction also adds some original characters and subplots that enrich the story. For example, there is Dian, a female journalist who is investigating the crime lord and his connection to the government. She is captured by the thugs and held hostage in the apartment building, where she meets Rama and Andi and learns about their relationship. She becomes their ally and helps them escape from the building.
Another original character is Rizal, a rebel leader who is fighting against the corrupt regime that supports the crime lord. He is Andi's old friend and former lover, who still has feelings for him. He leads a group of rebels who attack the apartment building to rescue Andi and expose the crime lord. He also has a conflict with Rama, who he sees as a rival and a traitor.
The fanfiction also has some twists that change the outcome of the film. For example, in the film, Mad Dog kills Jaka in a brutal fight, while Rama and Andi team up to defeat him. In the fanfiction, Jaka survives and joins Rama and Andi in their fight against Mad Dog. However, Mad Dog also survives and escapes from the building, vowing revenge.
