Round 2: Alternate Universes

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.

Re: [FILL] if you’re open, take the shot

PLEASE DON’T APOLOGIZE FOR UR THOUGHTS!!! i enjoy them a lot!!!! (if im not mistaken are u perhaps the writer of snwu hockey au???? which?? makes me doubly happy thank u for ur comment)

i agree! i think trades are so common n discussed so blithely (“oh, so and so’s here now” or “so and so went to X’s team”) but exploring what that trade does to an individual, the history behind a player, the entire uprooting that these players need to go through for the better of their franchises is so fascinating... i had so much writing that, even if it was for just a little bit!! i didn’t even think about team dynamics and how joshua will have to balance everything — learning how his teammates play etc — and fight for play time all the while .. it can be extremely stressful so having cheol as a familiar face can b rather reassuring even if their relationship has been ambiguous at best. the trope of rivals putting aside their differences to achieve a common goal has got SO much potential here i’m bonking myself just thinking about it..aGH THANK U SO MUCH AGAIN IVE GOT [MUCH TO THINK ABOUT] n hopefully im able to make this a longer thing in the future!!!
