Surprised some of my faves haven't come up...

Love me a Coffee Shop/Bakery AU. So cosy!

Even though so much of it is trash, I also can't quit A/B/O. Though I think one of the main reasons I love it is because I love fated/forced romance - I also love Soul Mate AUs, especially ones where the name or a symbol of a person's soulmate appears on their body. I also am a fan of Arranged Marriage AUs. And would we call Hanahaki an AU subgenre? If so, I've been enjoying that lately as well.

I've grown fond of Fantasy/Dragonborn AUs, though I wouldn't necessarily seek them out.

Other than that, I mostly read Modern AUs ie the removal of the fantasy or sci fi or superhero elements of the canon, or the 'normalisation' of the characters jobs/lives.

High School AUs are a bit too young for me, but I don't mind a College AU if I'm in the mood (especially if the canon characters are high school aged).

I love me some ABO or soulmate AUs. For the fated lover aspect, which I dig, but also because I love the "everything is set in canon except that one thing is different" AUs. Gender bending also falls into that category for me, or role reversal AUs.

It took me a while to get into hanahaki but now I dig it as well.

I always think it's funny when people think work at a bakery is cosy. Like... you gotta wake up and get into work at 2 am, there's nothing cozy about that.
I know, I know, it's all the cutesy fantasy stuff that doesn't try or want to be realistic but it's still funny to me.

AYRT

I know, I know, I just love the fantasy of my OTP making bread or like, croissants together in cute aprons and feeding each other bits of pastry and playfully getting flour on each other's noses...

If it makes you feel better, I worked front of house in a cafe for about a year and it was so stressful that I couldn't smell espresso coffee for several months without full body cringing. And yet I still love Coffee Shop AUs, because I want my faves to live that fantasy life where all the regulars are friendly and there's never too much to do so there's always time to chat or make a free coffee or eat a free sandwich and yet they never have money problems and life is beautiful...
