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.

Re: [FILL] fishing the sun out of the sky
(Anonymous) 2021-01-18 01:07 pm (UTC)(link)SJDSJDHJSADHJADJASHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA OHHHH THIS LINE JUST. BLEW ME AWAY. how they were so close that yjh could see this detail in his face. oh wow. and the little details! the visor! seungkwan nagging! and jeonghan whining he doesnt look cute! this is such a unique pairing but u write them so well! and also the oikawa/hinata dynamics too, its also very palpable here! the grand king reference!!!! the game they lost to the two locals (i forgot the nickname they have but i remember the chapter where they had to buy them beer or something??) >__< aahhhhhhh i have never imagined seungkwan as hinata (though i shouldve! i shoulve!) so thank you for putting this in my head i will forever now trasure it....
and the last scene: Seungkwan laughs, loud and ugly and absolutely irreverent. His skin rendered gold by the sun setting. “What do you mean there isn’t volleyball? What kind of world would that be?” --the contrast in the description of his laugh as ugly and the stunning imagery of brazil's sunset. only jeonghan can think that. and then the last line: This one, this part of Seungkwan, Jeonghan had also forgotten, and he's grateful to bask in it right now and to remember.
OH THAT'S SO ABSOLUTELY OIKAWA AND JEONGHAN AND SEUNGKWAN AND HINATA. i dont rly know how else to say it but you captured them both so well here dear writer... and i will be thinking about this for so long. i wish i prompted this myself so i can claim this fill as being for ME but dang. just. thank you. this was so lovely and tender and im smiling as i write this. <<<333333
