The Alternate Universe Meme

[misheard]

(I couldn't think of anything else appropriate off the top of my head)

The Alternate Universe Meme

1. Comment with your character.
2. Others will reply with an AU idea.
3. Thread. Profit.

AUs can be any AU of any kind, but if you need ideas, I have this masterlist and this tumblr to get you started.

Comments

Saeki | Underworld Capital Incident

[underworldescort]

Tsumuri | Poison Bugs

[poisonbug]

[Possibly not still a centipede. Almost certainly still an asshole.]

roomies in college au cuz i like this type of au too much

[oneirism]

[The one thing about being a college student (an archaeology and anthropology student, to be specific) is that being tired was a common occurrence, and it's one that Lapis has gotten used to. It's even more common when there's a part-time job that sometimes happen immediately after classes. At least Lapis usually has coffee to keep her going.

But today is her day off work, and so when she gets back to the apartment on the campus that she shares with Tsumuri, she just sits at the table to read over the chapter needed for the next class. Then just kind of... falls asleep.

So when Tsumuri comes back, he'll find one Lapis with her face literally in her book as she naps.]

V/V | Angel Notes

[heavenscorpse]

hi nee-san

[breatheinthefog]

[Family functions are pointless. That said, once V/V actually drags her to their obscure relative's wedding, Kaoru seems to be sort of enjoying herself. At least, enough to pay attention.]

Explain the significance of mason jars. I asked one of the bridesmaids and she just said it was "trendy embarrassing trash" and walked off grumbling about the bride's choice of dress.

Aleph | Shin Megami Tensei II

[alephbet]

florist AU - because this idea is TOO CUTE

[innocent_blue]

[Mizuno has been working for this florist as long as she can remember. She and her twin sister will trade off every few days or so, but they have both been working here since they were children and the florist has always taken good care of them. In return, Mizuno has come to take really good care of all of the flowers and loves them all individually and deeply.

That is why she knows Aleph when she sees him come in. And she waves delightedly at him.]

Hiiiiiiii, Aleph-kun! Are you here for more flowers???

incredibly long cross-country train ride AU combined with train stopping

[technologic]

[April likes visiting family well enough, but when it means going from one part of the country to the other, then she doesn't enjoy it as much. It makes her feel all stiff, and her leg ends up cramping painfully. At least the person she's seating next to is nice, even if she's too nervous to actually say anything, instead looking out the window or poking away on her tablet. Even if she would like to talk to him.

But when the train suddenly comes to a stop, she freezes and frowns, looking out the window and frowning even more at how they're in the middle of nowhere. So she waits. And waits. But minutes pass, and she glances around again, wondering if maybe she missed an announcement, so she nervously glances at the guy next to her.]

Um, h-hey... [She clams up for a sec, but forces herself to keep going.] Ah, has anyone s-said anything about what's going on?

Naminé | Kingdom Hearts

[shatterings]

“we’re the only ones on campus who didn’t go home for the holidays” au

[demonoffortune]

[Naminé is a pretty swell girl, or at least that's how Ver figures. They're passingly acquainted, enough that Ver knows she's an art major and incredibly shy. She doesn't go to a lot of the campus events, even the ones that her roommate Kairi attends.

So it's a little weird to bump into her, of all people, outside with the campus near deserted. Ver waves a hand in greeting.]

Hey, how's it going?

[What's she doing still here and not at home?]

Sawatari Makoto | Kanon

[yes_im_kawaii]

Midorikawa Retasu | Tokyo Mew Mew

[aquaticrush]

Iridessa | Disney Fairies

[broughttolight]

Saigusa Haruka | Little Busters!

[mopocalypse]

bad end/crossover AU, Little Busters spoilers ahead

[underworldescort]

[Another day in the underworld means another job. Saeki has been sent for this one, though he can call upon backup if he needs it.

It's sad. A crashed bus full of teenagers, with only two survivors. Sudden deaths can be the worst - he figures it's normal to cling to life, if you haven't been given any time to prepare for death.

Still, they can't stay around forever.

This deceased one is haunting a school dorm room. Saeki knocks once on the door - might as well. He'll open it anyway even if the deceased one doesn't answer, but politeness can get you somewhere.]

Izumo Kamiki | Blue Exorcist

[lackoftrust]

[Lord at the college and apartment AUs.]

Mai Taniyama | Ghost Hunt

[makesthetea]

Opal Beifong | Legend of Korra

[airyopalescent]

Jiwoo || Dandelion: Wishes Brought to You

[tsunhare]

Iron Liz | Atop the Fourth Wall

[punsofiron]

Jade | Beyond Good and Evil

[shauni]

Farmer Jack | Harvest Moon

[ihasahoe]

Abel | Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures

[sunshineandcookies]

Dialo | The Gray Garden

[dialo]

[cuethemasong]

[With the Holy Grail War starting up, Masters were summoning their Servants for battle. And Dialo's summon just so happened to be one of the Caster class. Once the light show and the smoke had cleared, her Servant had stood in the middle of the magic circle. And frankly, he just looked like a regular looking high school boy.]

Haaaah... [Cough cough.] Where the heck am I, anyway?
