About
When you put the characters you love in a new world, you end up loving them even more. Sometimes it's about the aesthetic (dark academia). Sometimes it's about straining those ship dynamics to the extreme (Pacific Rim). Maybe life is hard and you need to exorcise something (unemployment/coporate slave AU). Or perhaps you are so in love with the world you want to see Seventeen in it. Shakespeare, My Hero Academia, RuPaul's Drag Race. No problem - just give some context so anyone can fill it. Examples
MinWon - Bittersweet
Ah yes, the ambiguous Bittersweet MV. I'm curious to see anyone's interpretation of those MinWon scenes.
Any / NCT AU
Remember how Seventeen was supposed to be subgroups divided across Korea, China and Japan? What if that happened and the members were split up, only to reunite once a year. Or if they promoted like NCT - thinking about the graduation angst of NCT Dream, the ridiculous schedules of SuperM. Who is Mark and over-employed. Who is Shotaro and stuck in the basement?
Wonhui X Link Click (Donghua)
Link Click is a show about two guys who run a photography studio and time travels to help their customers. Wonwoo knows every event within 12 hours of a photograph being taken and Junhui can time travel and possess the photographer for 12 hours to complete a mission. Wonwoo speaks in Junhui's mind and tells him what he needs to do - where to go, what to say, what will happen. There's a rule that Junhui can't change the past because it will change the future :') but Junhui wants to :'). Would love to see WonHui investigating another sebong's story, or an exploration of their contrasting attitudes to fate (resigned vs headstrong - roles can be reversed if you want).

Note!
Have you considered trying for the 17hols hall of fame? The categories are: Exactly 400 Words, Year of the Tiger, Five of a Kind and the Rarest Pair. ▽ Click for More Info ▽Exactly 400 words: your fill is the absolute minimum word count. Well done you cold curt succinct savage. Year of the Tiger: in celebration of 2022, we will also celebrate anyone who supports this agenda (context: burn your ears). You must seamlessly incorporate a horanghae or wooahae or hahahahanihae (etc) in your fill. You can not regret it. Five of a Kind: You win this if you fill 5 prompts, and each fill is different in the same way. E.g. 5 different ships, 5 different AUs, 5 different mediums. You also win this by doing 5 remixes! The rarest pair: the fill with the rarest pairing at the end of the fest wins. This is based off the number of works in the ao3 tag. For simplicity, this will be the / tag and not &. (e.g. a “Wonwoo & Minghao” platonic fill will be counted by the “Wonwoo/Minghao” tag). The ship must only have Seventeen members and be the main pairing in your fill. We will update the category with the current titleholder during the fest so you know who to challenge~ I anticipate polyamory. (To help us out, please mention that you’re going for one of these categories at the beginning of your fill.) Navigation

I haven’t seen the words orphan black in literal years but this really pulled forth all the love i had for that show :,)
***
he’s sitting on the rooftop of his building, legs dangling over the ledge. there is a bottle of pinot noir next to him, condensation bleeding a small ring into the concrete. six months ago his world had changed. six months ago his drinking problem had become undeniable. six months ago he realised his drinking problem must be coded into his genes, if every single clone enjoyed the same vintage of red that he did.
clones.
the word still tasted foreign and metallic on his tongue. every neuron in his mind tried to reject it, even when faced with irrefutable biological evidence. even when he realised they all had the same birthmark. same dry patch between the eyebrows. same allergy to eggs, of all things.
he would’ve gladly asked them all to give him a wide berth and never speak to him again, except.
except he’s curious against his most rational instincts.
except he needs to make sure none of them get into trouble.
except for someone in his line of work, doppelgangers are either the best or worst thing to happen to you.
he’d told jinhee to fuck off the first time he’d been approached outside his studio – couldn’t believe he was adopted, couldn’t believe he’d had a twin, let alone a dozen. his entire career had been built on some belief that he was special, that he was unique. that he alone bore the face brands wanted for their endorsements.
but the detective had been persistent, almost ridiculously so. he’d shown up in various inconvenient locations dressed in terrible disguises so bad that jeonghan had laughed and said he wouldn’t last a day undercover. he’d poked and prodded at jeonghan the exact way he’d needled his bandmates, so of course – of course in the end he couldn’t stay away.
tonight he’s waiting for a new clone to meet with him. jinhee, or the version of him who is a cop, messaged him earlier with an alarming number of case files. this was a problem they needed to quash before it grew out of control. jeonghan had sighed, said he’d take care of it, and ordered himself another case of wine.
the door leading up from the staircase swings open, and jeonghan swivels around to see a familiar silhouette shrouded in the light. as the man approaches, jeonghan’s eyes take stock of his features. almost an identical carbon copy, jeonghan notes, other than the slightly fiercer eyes and the more childlike gait.
jeonghan waves him over, patting the ground next to him in invitation. it’s always discomfiting to meet a new clone. to take inventory of the ways they are exactly the same and not.
“hi,” he begins, his throat still hoarse from a full day of recording. “i’m jeonghan. what’s your name?”
