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.

Do Not Wants: None

Prompt: Slice of life comedy or contemplative growing up drama. I would love inter-school rivalry, conspiracies about favouritism and jealousy about who-got-scouted-for-State. Also inter-team angst where feelings(?) are complicated with 1st/2nd/3rd speaker insecurities. Or just, write Seventeen debating~ I would love that.

Ship/Member: Any
Major Tags: Major Character Death (?)
Additional Tags: Science-Fiction, Interstellar spoilers, Voices of a Distant Star, Angst?
Do Not Wants: None

Prompt: I'm thinking of the last scene in Interstellar where Cooper sees Murphey again except Cooper has not aged and Murphey is on her deathbed :( Same feeling in Voices of a Distant Star where one party travels through space and stays young, while the other stays on earth and grows old.

Yah klav this prompt wrangled 6k out of me so it's now on ao3. (thank you for making the trc au accessible to write but also filtering the parts that are most devastating to me u__u please know that even while writing this even more brainworms sprouted and I had to delete the horror murder plot. ONE DAY.)

Ship/Member: DK/Any, Mingyu/Any, Seungcheol/Any
Major Tags: N/A
Additional Tags: hockey, wound care, the intricate relationship dynamics between people playing a sports
Do Not Wants: None

Prompt: i think a lot about how robby fabbri and tyler bertuzzi of the detroit red wings grew up playing hockey with each other, got drafted onto different nhl teams and finally ended up on the same team again. you could go down the same route but i'd love an exploration on how history tints a forced rivalry and also the repercussions of said rivalry on the friendship/relationship once they've reunited in the same team n_n

Ship/Member: DK/Any, although I will love you for going DK/Minghao
Major Tags: N/A
Additional Tags: ice hockey, figure skating, sports superstitions/rituals, established relationship
Do Not Wants: None

Prompt: i will probably always be trash for the figure skater/ice hockey player relationship dynamic alongside the intricate pregame/preroutine rituals/superstitions of each other. this is more an exploration of how, in winter Olympics season, the two help each other with their rituals/the rituals are related, with some reference to hockey rituals and figure skating rituals here OR an established relationship doing a more competitive version of this Olympic sports swap since they are Married/Engaged

Do Not Wants: None

Prompt: rivals to ice dance partners to lovers. more of an exploration of how being put in a position where you must work together for something bigger than yourselves turns into a study of the other person, understanding the rivalry is based in similarities, falling in love etc. here is one of my fave virtuemoir ice dance routines ever...
