I've never read this type of AU. How do people write good guy characters as criminals?

"Noble" criminals generally.

There's like a million stories out there about noble, sympathetic criminals

I know. I was just curious how it was done in fanfiction, and if writers kind of danced around the whole crime part, and how.

Yeah, I've wondered the same thing. Like, the mobster character is probably still doing mob things - but maybe he has a code that keeps him from being a complete monster? And presumably it's true love between mobster and his love interest, and mobster would kill anyone who messed with his love interest and kill them slow. That kind of thing?

IDK, I generally love AUs for my main fandom, but I've always taken a pass on Mob AUs because the aggressive "control people using fear" behaviors that mob stories tend to involve just put me right off.
