Dear AUex Author

[feckyeslife]

I put in noms for this a while ago and then nearly forgot to sign up again. Boy am I glad that I didn't!


So a LOT of the additional tags that I've got tacked onto my requests are there because HOLY HELL! There are so many great AUs sitting in that tagset that I hadn't realized would be rather interesting to explore!! Many of these should not be mixed together and weren't what I was planning on requesting, but they were there and made me go "ooo"; so they are here.


General DNW list

Star Wars: Sequel Trilogy
Ships:
- Armitage Hux/Rey
- Armitage Hux/Rey/Kylo Ren
- Phasma/Rey
(or any combination of the above as a polycule)

Prompts/Ideas:
SW Specific
- Rey joins the Knights of Ren
- Dark Side Rey
- Character is a Bounty Hunter (any or all of the above requested 'ship members)
- Force Sensitive Armitage Hux
- Light Side Ben Solo (could be combined with the above Dark Side Rey or not)
- Rey realizes she's force sensitive as a child
- Sith AU

General
- Character tries to summon a demon but got the wrong one (would work with literally any of the above requested characters)
- Characters meet at a different point in canon, before or after original timeline
- Dominant/Submissive AU (any ships)
- If you owe someone a life debt their name appears on your skin (preferably Hux/Rey but I think it could go with any)
- Knight/Princess/Dragon OT3 AU (preferably Reylux. Doesn't have to be medieval, either. Space dragon anyone?)
- Marriage by winning ritual combat to gain partner's hand (bonus points if it's Hux not one of the combat-oriented characters but again it works for any)
- Genderswap to female (Hux and/or Kylo)
- Winter Soldier storyline (eg. Rey is taken by the First Order and made into one of their soldiers after having been an enthusiastic participant in the Resistance originally)

Divergent Series
Ships:
- Tris & None
- Eric/Tris or Eric & Tris
- Christina/Tris or Christina & Tris

Prompts/Ideas:
Divergent Specific
- Alternate Choosing (eg. Tris doesn't pick Dauntless)
- No Insurgent War
- Tris grows up in Dauntless (with her mother's family, please!!! Natalie Write is canonically Dauntless. There should be more stories with Dauntless-Born Tris where she isn't just a spare Pedrad!)

General
- Canon character death evaded (but HOW?)
- Characters meet at different point in their canon (Before or after canon events. Thinking mostly about what-if Tris knew or recognized people from her earlier years in school instead of having lived in a bubble learning no one's names, personalities, etc before Choosing)
- Pack dynamics/Werewolf pack (tbh been thinking about a Dauntless werewolf AU for a WHILE!!!)
- Pretending to be a man (Tris has to pretend to be a guy to be part of Dauntless Initiation?? Or something else? I'm not picky)
- Winter Soldier storyline (Memory serum or the mind control serum makes this seem like it would be totally feasible and also mega tragic)

Star Trek: Discovery
Ships:
- Michael Burnham & None
- Michael Burnham/Mirror Gabriel Lorca
- Michael Burnham & Sylvia Tilly
- Po & Sylvia Tilly

Prompts & Ideas:
Trek Specific
- Po comes with the Discovery into the future (how does this impact her? Does she regret the decision?)
- Discovery stays in the 23rd century (This could either be some macguffining to defeat Control where everything ends up OK in the end OR it could be where only Michael shoots forward without the crew. How does THAT go when the dust settles; if it settles at all!)
- Michael is stuck in the mirror universe (this is still my bread and butter for Michael/Lorca stories. You can pry this from my cold, dead hands)

General
- Canon character death is evaded (Lorca)
- Enemies forced to work together (Michael/Lorca preferably but idk maybe could be Michael working with Mirror!Tilly too??)
- Time Loop/Time loop can only be broken by kissing love interest or confessing feelings (I recently rewatched Magic to Make the Sanest Man go Mad and I'm still mad about how amazing that ep is. So maybe exploring that loop? Or another totally different occurrence? This is Trek. Time issues happen all the time)

Captain America Movies
Ships:
- Bucky Barnes/Natasha Romanov or Bucky Barnes & Natasha Romanov
- Natasha Romanov & None
- Bucky Barnes & None
- Steve Rogers & Natasha Romanov & Sam Wilson

Prompts & Ideas
Marvel Specific
- Natasha finds Bucky first not Steve (Does she tell anyone? How does Bucky react?)
- Natasha Romanov lives (Could be a story about HOW or could just be a fact that she doesn't stay dead post-Endgame)
- If you owe someone a life debt their name appears on your skin (this plus Buckynat plus secret identity shenanigans would be amazing)
- Shapeshifters/Therianthropes AU (total curveball compares to the other prompts but oh well! No preference for people on this. Could be everyone or just one character)


SO many wildly different AUs!! I started off simple originally but the more that I browsed the more things jumped out to me.
