Yeah good mundane AUs are really good. But almost none are good.

I will say I also avoid HSAUs and I honestly don't even understand the appeal. It just seems like the most annoying setting possible, with the least amount of things you can do with it, and the writing is rarely good.

The only high school AUs I tend to like are the ones that find ways to map canon trauma onto the genuinely excruciating experience of being a teen with very little agency in a weird artificially constrained society. And even then it's like, maybe three fics I can think of off the top of my head that I really enjoyed.

The thing about high school is that everything FEELS so big because you've never dealt with this shit before, it feels epic, it feels like the end of the world - like canon stuff actually is - but there's this hope of just. just SURVIVING it. and getting to make a new life of your own if you can just figure out how. IDK I think there's some powerful and compelling potential there. Key word potential.


....the other possibility is people who write good comedy, because high school is ALSO inherently absurd and teenagers are absurd and a good hs romcom can be hysterical
