AUs prove that a ship is so strong and meant to be that no matter what the circumstances (angsty or otherwise) and history, the couple will end up together.

Yeah, this is how I tend to see a lot of those kinds of AUs, too. I do love stories that explore the characters' history as it stands in canon, and I agree with the secret that a lot of my favorite ships are the sort that tend to have a history of some kind, because it provides a great foundation to build on. But yeah, it can be very interesting sometimes to see what would've happened had they met in another way, or another lifetime, or whatever, too.

Yep. My current ship obsession is Joe & Nicky from The Old Guard. There is SO GODDAMN MUCH history there that it is fun to explore, but the amount of history is also overwhelming in a way, so it's also extremely fun to consider if they would still have found this epic love under different circumstances. (Answer: Yes)

Same anon. And on the specific example of J&N, for a while there, all that I saw was "the backstory of how they went from enemies to lovers!!" fic (and of course, PWP). I was thrilled when more AUs started popping up because it was something NEW instead of every author trying to tell their version of the same story over and over again. Extend that to other fandoms: how many stories covering canon events and interactions do we need? Variety is the spice of life and fanfic!
