Re: Favorite AUs
(Anonymous) 2020-12-30 06:18 am (UTC)(link)Suits AUs were okay. Though most of the Suits AUs swung back around to them both being lawyers eventually, which helped.
I'm almost entirely disinterested in AUs for my current MCU ship. I'm also not interested in AUs for Drarry, which I've been dabbling in lately.
It really all depends on how well the canon adapts to AUs. A lot of canons don't adapt well to AUs because the canon is already about as interesting and cool as it could possible be. Any AUs are mundane by comparison. But also, there's the question of what makes the characters who they are, and whether you can transfer that into an AU context. Sherlock's powers of perception and general assholery can be transferred into literally any AU scenario you can dream up. Whereas if Harry Potter is not The Magical Boy Who Lived...who is he? If Tony Stark isn't Iron Man (or at the very least a tech billionaire who tries to help people), who is he?
Kinds of AUs I love include Hogwarts AUs, His Dark Materials AUs (which are really just Everybody Has Daemons! AUs), A/B/O AUs that lean hard into the bamfy omega and supportive, sensitive alpha dynamic, and lean hard away from the animal dynamics as well as weepy, submissive omegas and aggressive, uber-dominant alphas. There are some fantastic Johnlock high school AUs, but I only like high school AUs for that one ship.
Honestly, I'm game for the vast majority of AUs where the writer really commits to the premise and puts in the work. If it's a ship that adapts well to AUs, that is.
AUs I don't like: Mafia AUs, serial killer AUs, biker AUs, greaser/soc AUs. Basically any AUs that turn the good guys into either "bad boys" or bad people. I don't love Coffee Shop AUs, but have read a decent one here and there.
