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

Re: [FILL] these violent delights au
The tension was so tantilizing and your writing makes me feel like I was in that room with them, observing in the shadows, like I shouldn't be privvy to their conversation, their emotions!!!
“I don’t bother with pointless formalities,” Minghao says, leaning back on her hands. One thin strap slides off her shoulder. Soonyoung has an inexplicable urge to bite her exposed shoulder.
“They’re not pointless to me,” Soonyoung says, her voice quieting. Minghao’s eyes sharpen.
Oh my god this, I love how sensual and heart breaking this is ㅜㅜ The visceral urge to touch and be close, but then you can't, not anymore. Then as if SN can't help it, an admission that she still wants to ㅜㅜ
It clearly hasn’t, for the very subject of Soonyoung’s exile and heartbreak stands breathtakingly in front of her, and Soonyoung still finds herself at Minghao’s command, almost unwillingly. She might still kneel if Minghao asks it of her.
I'm really not good with words and the only thing that comes to mind is a constant loop of ohmygodohmygodohmygodilovethis! But I just love how you captured their dynamics from the book, so vividly that you really gave me what I wanted and more with how I was unable to pull away my attention from your writing and crave for more.
Of course I do, Soonyoung says in her head bitterly, it’s you. It’s always been you. In real life she squares her shoulders and says nothing. versus “Perhaps, you,” Minghao says softly, turning around. Her face has softened a fraction, silvered by the moonlight.
I'm obsessed with how you wrote their admissions to themselves and each other, I love how its so different (one is bitter and rightfully so, while the other is hopeful yet lost, struggling to reconnect but is burdened by duty) and painful in their own ways. It beautifully encapsulates the enemies to lovers to enemies idea that I had in my head when I wrote the prompt and I want to thank you for taking it to greater heights and writing something I'll definitely go back to and read again!!!
I hope you're well, wherever you are. Thank you again for filling my prompt!!!
