2022 Round 2: AUs

[hwarium]

Status: Closed This round has closed. It remains open for fills, comments and remixes, but prompts are no longer accepted. ✧ Seventeen Holidays ✧ Round 2: Alternate Universes 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). 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 and a warning. You may crop the artwork and embed a SFW preview.

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.)

Re: [FILL] the rabbit in the hat

[pamantha]

oh my GOD, this is absolutely everything wtf. This is so so good, I’m obsessed with every little thing from it, like the Worldbuilding, the weirdness, it’s so unflinching but careful too, and I’m OBSESSED with how it’s not quite sad, but not happy. Just fine. Oh my god

So many things stood out to me that if I started listing them I’d be quoting back the entire story. Like. The ominous domesticity at the beginning, tossing the spells into the tub (which is SUCH cool worldbuilding), the suddenness of the death (… angry at Jeonghan for dying quietly in his hospital bed while Seokmin had been buying Chapagetti at the convenience store on the third floor. ), the bit about Jeonghannie #2 being at fault every time Jeonghan’s resurrected body gives out. And Seokmin Laughing Along. Akdkjak, and I really loved how you did the resurrection. When he was talking with SK, I was totally expecting the classic, “lies that he won’t do it, does it anyways in secret, keeps it secret”, so when you pulled out the resurrection package… that’s SUCH a cool idea. And rooting it in real world debt. That’s is such a good concept and adds such a good layer of real world tension and heaviness, oh my god. And then the ENDING. How much is he Jeonghan, how much does it matter, how it’s just life as it was.

This really was so good. I’m at work (sry for typos) and thought that I’d just take a peek at it but got totally swept away…. I seriously love this. It’s so inventive and fresh and clever. I wish it was on ao3 so that I could bookmark, I’ll save the link somehow!! Thank you so much for writing and sharing!!!!

aw thank you so much!!! i'm so glad you enjoyed, this prompt made me a little cr*zy lol and i really wanted to give it a try. the resurrection thing i actually thought up on the fly, it was going to be a lot grosser and more about the physicality of being undead but thinking about it made me so sad LMAO so i was like, let's do something on medical debt and consent and lovers->strangers instead.

i was thinking about expanding this a little more before eventually posting on ao3 because the universe is so fun to play with, but i'm not sure! either way if i do upload it i'll definitely add it to the fest collection. again, really happy you enjoyed this, and thank you for the cool prompt!!
