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.

losing my mind at all of this, truly
thank you for bringing this svtennis into existence

Ahhh!!!! Hello!!! You're welcome!! And thank you right back!! I've read the Jeon Zone so a lot of the Doubles 2 history took their roots a /long/ time ago, and I'm also a fan of your tinhat and meta so!!! You are honestly an honorary godparent of this AU haha

YEAHHHHHHH THIS IS EVERYTHING TO ME!!!! everything about this is amazing but the 8jun especially HURTS ME.... thank u so much 4 this god bless

[no tennis or tenipuri or art knowledge warning] this is so beautiful *____* i love the individual poses and the variety, and your colors, and your style!! when i saw mingming i gasped... the matchups all have some sort of meaning to them, i really love seeing the rivalries and friendships you've invented!!
- the 95z (jh trained js in coups' WEAKNESSES) is so delicious.
- "it's okay seungkwan doesn't hold grudges :)"
- wz passing on vice captain looool....
- and just. jeonghan captain telling the team to win quick so he doesn't have to play is just SO............. obsessed with the brains vs brawn (scoups) of it all.
- jun and mingming just going with the flow because they can bounce off each other T___T
- what little i can infer about tennis strategy is so neat.. the decision of how to arrange the lineup order :0 so many combinations huh!!
- WONCHEOL.... GYUHAN.

this is such a joy to look at <3 thank you for putting in the time!!

[it's okay, thank you for eating here ]

Thank you so much <333 Mingry was doubles from the start bc I needed 14 and nisakomi predebut tinhat LINGERED and Youth With You LINGERED and all 4 have so much mutual chemistry and history I want to choke on it. Even though that match up was set trying to fit the rest took sooo much trial and error I was really trying to milk the rivalries and the dynamics I didn't want to have 80% fit I wanted perfection hahaha.

-WZ just wants to playyyy
-YEAH THE TEAMS were based on SC Captaining style vs JH. Tbh the Mingry/Gyuhao could have been in either school but in the end I wanted GyuHan C/VC simp slavery haha
-Mingry tennis style based off 17TV playfighting!!
- YEAH!!!

lastly ty so much For thanking me for spending time on this... I definitely did ;___; we all do, for fandom, but we rarely hear it so that was so nice. Ty risa!!

HWA! i have finally been walked through all the tennis references in this that i didn't get and i'm here to scream! firstly your art itself is so dynamic, each time you share something with us its so distinct. here, each player cuts such a sharp figure i'm more or less mooning over them. especially hansol ^____^

i looove the backstory attached to every character and the double, triple, mutiple connections they share with each other!! i especially love the final panel- your 8junist and gyuhaoist coming together in glorious ways and the little inserts of JH everywhere! trying to orchestrate match-ups that arent his. I can almost visualise the little notes you make, and the practice sketches you've shared of other things- seems like so much work to do the writing and the art both but you do it with so much finesse for both!!
