Yeah this is me too. A different fantastical setting or a canon divergence is something I'd read, but a regular boring mundane setting like a coffee shop or high school? No thanks.

I like the characters because they have super-powers/magic, taking that away without replacing it with something is completely unappealing to me.

Exactly. And not only that, so many of my favorite characters are so shaped by their canon circumstances that if you took them away from that, they wouldn't be the same character at all. Edward Elric, for example... his entire life was shaped by his failed human transmutation that cost him his limbs and his brother Al his body. Put him in a setting where that never happened and he would be a completely different person, not the Edward Elric that I enjoyed the canon for.

A lot of the AUs that are most interesting to me are the ones that are really trying to find answers to questions like that. Like... how do you take a character like that, with that history, and translate that into a different genre? And then, when you put it against a different background, does that give us a different angle on the original character? What changes, what stays the same?
