Round 2: Alternate Universes

About

Sometimes its the characters that move us, but sometimes we fall in love with the the world behind the story. Something transformative occurs when we place the characters we love in an unfamiliar world, like the light has shone on a new side and we're seeing them anew.

Run to the classics; revisit the magic of Harry Potter, the heart-punch of a Pacific Rim drift, the warmth of a Coffee Shop AU. Or maybe dig your fingers into a story that blew your mind - Battle Royale, The Raven Cycle, Interstellar - or demand better from a book that let you down (The Poppy War fin- mmph). Perhaps! You might combine two of your fandoms for maximum joy (Haikyuu and Tennis adjacent mutuals, I'm looking at you.)

The possibilities are literally endless. Do it for the aesthetic, do it for the drama.

Examples

Wonhui x MDZS/Untamed

Wonwoo as Lan Wanji, Jun as Wei Wuxian (Minghao as Jiang Cheng?). I want a cast that feels betrayed and shocked at Junhui's demise but then gradually learning his reasons behind it.

Mingyu/Seungkwan Debating AU

Imagine them as third speakers in the high school circuit. Rivals! Mortal Enemies! Prepared case summaries derailing into personal attacks, and then when their coach calls them out on it they become passive aggressive e.g. "there are major flaws in the opposition's arguments..."

Jeonghan as Mal from Inception

Any Jeonghan ship will do. I just want him to chaotically haunt a person while being sexy about it.

Prompt: take ur pick between sebchal dynamics where person a is a 4x world champion losing his touch and person b is the young rookie prodigy hired to replace him. to quote a tumblr post "what do you do when the reckless prodigy who's meant to replace you venerates you instead like you're the only reason why he's driving?" the mentor/student dynamics, the (respectful) MATURITY GAP!!! the YEARNING the "oh no i'm meant to hate you and i sort of do because you won't stop crashing into me on track and ruining the race for the both of us but you're the greatest talent i've ever seen and you look at me like this (*for the sheer record this screams seokwoo)

OR maxiel dynamics where one of you is a proven race winner and former #1 driver of the team thirsting after championship. you have the car, you have the skill, but you also have a new teammate who's a child prodigy with severe daddy issues and grew up too fast too soon just to be in f1. and yet. you fall in love with him anyways. even when his dad is pushing your team to promote him as the #1 driver, even when your team starts to favor him as the #1 driver. you live in the same country in the same building on the same floor and quickly become best friends. how could you not fall in love with him? anyways it culminates in on-track tensions becoming so severe it causes a crash while negotiating off-track relationships (WELL DONE BAKU) and ends with you leaving the team and joining another rival team (yearning? yearning even as rivals?) (**ok but imagine verkwan)

and if u really want 2 kill somebody consider brocedes dynamics
