Sorcerer Mozenrath of the Black Sands is dying and only the blood of a relative can save him. Much to his dismay Aladdin is that blood relative, but even he's not enough to save his new found brother and the two must seek out their estranged father. (Or "What if Aladdin Movie 3 was about Aladdin and Mozenrath finding out they're brothers like originally planned by Disney and then merge that with the Cassim story line" the AU.)

You inspired me to start posting again. I'm so sorry your original comment got deleted. Canon Notes: According to Disney the Aladdin 3 movie was supposed to be about Aladdin and Mozenrath (a recurring antagonist from the Aladdin TV series) finding out they were brothers. This got re-worked into Aladdin finding his long-lost father. I've always liked the idea of merging the two plot lines into one story and so this came about. This largely follows the Aladdin & the King of Thieves story line with a few key differences namely the inclusion of Mozenrath and other characters from the TV series. Jasmine gets her own arc. Rating Notes: The mature rating is mostly for non-explicit mentions of violence, queer themes/topics, and mentions of historical pederasty. I would probably say it's more YA Fantasy Adventure novel in tone and rating than anything else. Historical/Cultural Notes: Let's face it the Aladdin canon culturally is a hot mess that was largely written by Western creators for Western audiences with very few Middle Eastern or Islamic staff members. I've tried to smooth it out the best I can without making it unrecognizable to the canon. I do come from half Islamic household, but of Turkish descent not the Arabic and Persian cultures that the Aladdin movie & TV canon draws from. Concrit is always welcome!
