Arcade AU is a fairly new AU (Alternate Universe) within the Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons fandom. In the AU, the Big Four are characters from their own, individual arcade games in Litwak's Arcade from Disney's Wreck-It Ralph.
About the AU
Though this concept was talked about in forums and blogs, it was never fully realized until the Icebreaker pairing was made.
In this AU, Jack, Merida, Hiccup, Rapunzel and other such characters found in different arcade games in the arcade, sharing the same digital universe as Ralph and his friends. Whether or not the games they came from are video-game adaptations of their own respective films (from our real world or not) differs from story to story.
The most common scenario in this AU places the characters as super-deformed versions of themselves as racers in Sugar Rush.

The Once-ler
Fans have cast the Once-ler as Vanellope's big, caring brother, King Once-Lick, that became King Greed-Pop when a virus took over and filled him up with greed. He can also be the Bad Guy in his own game, that is based on The Loax film; bad and mean for when the arcade is opened and turns kind and helpful when the arcade is closed for the night. Much like Ralph.
