Round 2: Alternate Universes

[hwarium]

Status: Closed This round has closed. It remains open for fills and comments, but prompts are no longer accepted. Seventeen Holidays 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. Rules Sign up is not required. Fills have a minimum of 400 words for prose, haiku-length for poetry (3 lines), and 400px by 400px for art (memes are also art). Other mediums are fine too! There is no maximum cap. Tag and provide content warnings at your discretion, but a good guide are the Ao3 four (Graphic Depictions of Violence, Major Character Death, Rape/Non-Con, Underage) and this list of common CWs (cr: SportsFest). NSFW/Explicit content should be tagged NSFW art should not be visible. Please provide a link to the art. You may crop the artwork and embed a SFW preview.

Re: [FILL] looking through a dusty window pane

MAN i cant believe i tried to get u with the prompt and then u ended up getting me with the fill??? i adore the way this is structured w the lines from the movie preluding each section and youve managed to capture the movie's atmosphere so perfectly!! it's amazing how much youve allowed us to see into their heads and feel what they must b feeling w/o ever really outright stating it explicitly #___#

> i really liked He pressed himself back against the doorjamb when Mingyu turned to leave like he was fighting against a magnetic pull. Their arms brushed over the threshold of the dining room. missed connections translating into physicality??? my brain is going a little haywire??
> and then He expressed his love in his own reaching desperate way. KIM MINGYU ACTS OF SERVICE???? absolutely catatonic i cant believe youve done this to me
> He didn’t look at Mingyu, and he didn’t try to read all the things behind Mingyu’s face. The things that Mingyu might whisper into a ruined temple wall six years later, cover the breach with mud, hide away the one true thing that had slipped through their fingers like their own shadows. IM UNHINGED!!! ur prose is so stunningly gorgeous i know i say this a lot but its true... it rlly pulls everything u have going on here into this super tight cohesive narrative and im always so impressed by how much u can say without using that many words at all. thank u so much for writing this!!
