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.

Re: [FILL] went looking for a creation myth

LILY!!!!! I AM SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS!! I don’t know how you managed to distill do androids dream into 10 sections but it’s PERFECT fdjhgjhj

- This feels like it is for me my god all of my freshman yr of hs was haunted by this book in the best way and 2 see u do this with it…..oh man I need 2 thank u til the ends of the earth

- Mingyu as deckard is just amazing. I love the structure, too, and how you portrayed him starting to question himself and the parallels between his relationships w minghao and wonwoo….his struggles with those questions central to his dilemma are so clear and heartrending and the whole arc w minghao made me want to rip my hair out bc that would likely be less painful

- I love minghao as the opera performer….the description of his makeup was incredible. Goddd the motif of art and how he interacts with it and his retirement scene… I can visualize mingyu sitting in the car watching a video of minghao and that image Fucking hurts so much hahahsfhdsfjds

- Wonwoo as Rachael!!! Oh my god it’s perfect! The fox!! The ~5 sentences where mingyu realizes wonwoo is a nexus-6...The hotel room scene! Ahhhhh also the art print being passed to him. His whole turmoil-- Rachael always struck me as the most tragic character and it’s the same for this wonwoo. For some reason “his coat buttoned up wrong, a lone button resting on the hollow of his neck” made me so sad. That whole scene... I’m meanie revivalist 2k21

- Also the way you connected each disparate scene is so masterful, I love how the whole piece flows emotionally rather than logically…..ahgjhgjsdg dsj this is just so good like really really I’m gonna dream about this this is wish fulfillment to the max

- Some lines that really hurt in a solidly good way like my breath got knocked out of me a little bit: “And what about my dream is so ludicrous, Mingyu wants to ask.” “Mingyu retires Minghao on the museum rooftop, Mars somewhere up above them beyond the dust and ruin.”

Britney Spears yeah.gif thank you thank you…..ill think about this forever
