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

Prompt: This pic (https://i.imgur.com/YqZapDM.png) is the prompt. Two romeos from rival families that unfortunately fell in love at first sight. Write whatever you want. Make it painful, make it fluffy, change the ending, bring more conflict, etc. If you're ever thinking of retelling your own Romeo x Juliet, take this chance.

Halfway through the chairman's speech, Hansol steps out into the balcony. He unbuttons his waistcoat to give his lungs more room to expand. The cool air greets his face, a sensory wake-up call. You should have known better, Hansol-ah, he hears his mother's reproaching voice, the inevitable earful he's to receive from her before the night ends. The Kim son is perfect. We cannot afford you being anything less.
"What are you doing?" Mingyu asks, joining him in ruin.
Hansol casts a glance to the lively ballroom behind them. The gala attendees pay them no attention, but Hansol knows better than to let his guard down. There are people assigned to watch him and Mingyu, seekers from both sides of the family, eager to exploit the mistakes they make.
"What are you doing?"
"We're allowed to talk."
"Did you come here to exchange abrasive remarks?" Hansol counters with a raised brow. "Because that is the only talk they allow."
He leans against the balustrade, tightening his grip around the blackened steel. Mingyu shuffles closer, just enough to conceal what he's about to do from prying eyes. He rests his hand atop Hansol's.
In four suffocating syllables, he teaches Hansol how to breathe: "I have missed you."
"I know."
"Say you've missed me too."
"That goes without saying."
"No," Mingyu says. "It doesn't."
"I've missed you," he confesses, bloody heart beating on his sleeve. "Even right now, standing right next to you, scarcely an inch between us, I miss you."
Mingyu accepts Hansol's humble surrender by squeezing his hand in reassurance before he steps away. Hansol wants to pull him back in, even if it means condemning them both.
"What if it erodes?" Hansol asks quietly. "Your love for me."
Days when Hansol eludes his surveillance team to meet Mingyu in a busy district, face obscured but feelings exposed—they are a breeze to live through. But for every day like those, there are thirty nights like tonight. Nights when they can stand in the same room but not touch, look at each other but only in animosity, drink from the same cup as long as it means poisoning the other.
Holding out hope feels impossible. Worse, it feels futile.
"Have I not shown you how sure I am of you?" The undercurrent of hurt in Mingyu's voice slices through Hansol's heart. "Say the word and I will kiss you right here. Right now."
In a happier world, Hansol would say the word. In this one, he stares at the scintillating skyline and blinks away the mist clouding his eyes.
"Thus with a kiss I die," Mingyu adds earnestly.
He clears his throat. "I want you alive."
Mingyu wouldn't meet his demise at the edge of a blade for kissing him—Hansol imagines he would have, had they been born five centuries ago—but they could still take him away. They could send him someplace Hansol can never reach.
That is a death truer than most.
"You should go, hyung."
He takes Hansol's suggestion, but not without bridging the distance between them once more to bid him farewell. Hansol closes his eyes.
"I’m kissing you," Mingyu paints with his words. "My hand cups your jaw, strokes the prominent bone of your cheek. The other arm wraps around your waist, fits you in an embrace shaped to hold you and you alone."
Behind Hansol's lids, the picture Mingyu draws come alive. He sees them kissing in a dim-lighted gallery in the early morning, behind the kitchen of a hole-in-the-wall restaurant as orange bleeds into blue above them, on the rooftop of a planetarium long past twilight.
"I never let go," he finishes; a promise.
"I’d never want you to."
His breath hits the soft cartilage of Hansol's ear, and it is the most intimate of kisses. "Until then, my love."

(Anonymous) 2022-01-28 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)ㅡ i love how Mingyu is fearless here, it fits him, a perfect heir of the Kims that DARED to have one flaw: fall in love with the enemy's son.
ㅡ Hansol's defensiveness made me think of how they even began this dangerous relationship..... how many times did Mingyu got rejected, what made Hansol give in</> to his advances, who REALIZED first, did they even KISS yet, etc etc etc..... (i want more i am so SORRY)
ㅡ didn't know I was holding my breath too, until he said "I miss you."
ㅡ AHHHHHHHHHH you let them KISS but not REALLY omfg my heaRT idek if it's broken or if it's swelling from HAPPINESS
My most favorite part is the exchange of four words... so simple, yet it bridges a lot of emotion and feeling: "I have missed you." x "I want you alive." These two phrases lives in all generations of romeos and juliets (in whatever form or name) who dared to love even in the most dreadful and hopeless situations.
Thank you for this Vee!!!! My heart is so full♡
