2022 Round 2: AUs

Status: Closed
This round has closed. It remains open for fills, comments and remixes, but prompts are no longer accepted.
✧ Seventeen Holidays ✧
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

Permission to remix: Yes
A/N hello op! was scrolling through the prompts looking for something to write and found this! i don't know how coherent it is, given that it took an hour with little editing to write this, but i hope you enjoy!
***
The first time Soonyoung heard the music, he’d shaken his head and sailed away.
He lost two sailors that day to the disembodied voice echoing from the mist and the unrelenting sea.
Soonyoung had simply forced wax into the rest of the crew members’ ears and steered them clear of that strait for a whole moon.
The forlorn song remained picking at the edges of his heart, though. Like an ache inside his chest had awakened.
/
Jihoon submerges himself in waves and casts his song out into the sea, hook and bait, everyday for a whole moon. The sailor does not come by.
He actively begins varying the tunes, from lullaby to aria to singspiel to rhapsody to sea shanty. Tosses them out into the ubiquitous rolling mist like skipping stones. And usually, just like when skipping stones hit water and sink, there’s the following splash of water, indicative of bodies flung into the currents, propelled by an implanted desire to find the source of the music and pass moons by while listening.
Everyday, for a whole moon, there is nothing but the slosh of waves.
When the moon sharpens itself into a curved point again, Jihoon gives up hope.
/
Soonyoung takes his free day to nudge his ship back into the perpetually fogged strait he’s been circumventing. He hadn’t wanted to go back.
Sirens, perhaps the most prevalent figures in sea mythology, sing to lure victims, floundering and gasping, nails dug deep in the sand, to their shores. For what purpose, mankind has not been able to successfully investigate. Soonyoung just knows what he’s been taught: avoid sirens at all costs. Soonyoung’s mother had been abundantly glad when she’d found out that her son was siren-immune, although all that trait has ever done is erode the edges of Soonyoung’s caution.
And now, against all of his teachings, Soonyoung is heading straight into siren realm.
/
When a ship familiar by presence docks at the beach, Jihoon is stunned for the first time in his immortal life.
The figure that descends from the ship has a crown of silver hair and mist translucent at his feet.
“What are you doing here?”
/
Soonyoung feels his brow furrow. The siren is nothing like he’d expected. He’s small, blonde hair fluffy across his forehead, against his nape. His eyes are shadowed like the depths of the ocean and wide with confusion. He looks harmless.
But looks can deceive; Soonyoung can feel his power suffused in the mist that clings to his skin. He has to tread carefully; there is loose sand underfoot, literally and figuratively.
“Is it so bad that I like hearing you sing?” Soonyoung keeps his voice conversational, borderline flippant. He doesn’t mention how he’d picked up the undercurrent of decade-deep longing in his song the first time he heard it. He doesn’t mention how the loneliness that had sharpened the music reverberates every night in Soonyoung’s own chest.
The siren looks unconvinced, his blue see-through shirt billowing in the breeze. Soonyoung tries for a smile, hums a shaky, off-tune melody under his breath.
He sees the siren wince and grins, letting him take over the melody.
That night, he learns that his name is Jihoon.
/
The sailor – Soonyoung, Jihoon now knows – starts docking at the beach every night the moon rounds and grows swollen in the sky.
The air swells with music between them and Jihoon learns the taste of companionship for the first time in centuries.
