Comments

Jessica Jones | Jessica Jones/The Defenders

[assholic]

[Things I love: Monstermash (werewolf/vampire/etc). Daemon AU. Magical AU would work too. Fake dating/engaged/married. Sex work, potentially from either side (ngl, would like to see her as the purchaser/client). Also wouldn't say no to a Supernatural AU. Some of the things in the linked lists are interesting for soulmate or bff aus. Even, yes, the wild wild west/bounty hunter Jess. I'm pretty open to stuff that I have a familiarity with. PM or hit me up if you're interested. OTA for anything gen, M/F for shippy/smut. 21+]

amanda grayson ( star trek: snw )

[advocative]

[ definitely prefer what-if scenarios, canon fusion, crossover, and other, similar AUs over things like college/coffee shop/etc. ]

[primelogic]

[I'm torn between Spock somehow ending up BACK in his original timeline just in the past to see Mom again post AOS or alternatively Amanda ending up in AOS somehow though if that was the case i would need AOS Spock to at least briefly do the Vulcan equivalent of the lower lip tremble while he valiantly doesn't cry because oh god its mom.

But I just want Peepaw to make his mom tea.]

Ducky | Lavender Jack | OTA

[astraythought]

[Her default is an alternate history 1910s Europe, but I'd love to slide her modern, or do what-ifs on her history. I have a specific AU for Arcane, and love anything that brings out her sneaky/devious/criminal background. Capeshit is also pretty easy; Ducky's the housemaid to a Scarlet Pimpernel-style vigilante with means. Her being the assistant to a superhero a la Alfred to Batman is an easy pitch.]

Gyū Chichi ⍟ Dragon Ball

[ox_princess]

[ My number one AU dream is to be able to develop Chichi into a fighter. Like, she doesn't make it to the tournament and reconnect with Goku, but starts taking her duties as a princess and a protector more seriously. ]

[ For general concepts: I like apocalypse AUs, soulmate AUs, sticking Chichi in an arranged marriage (not to Goku) could be fun -- the drama, the pining! -- roommates/neighbors AU could be fun, as would getting to indulge Chichi's feminine side with a florist AU. ]

[quartersayan]

[I don't have a proper DB muse beside Pan but I could offer her considering Time Travel Shanenigans can easily happen in the DB universe. Grandchild coming to the past (and getting stuck there) and being rather happy to train with grandma when she seems to have fun, be proud of herself and (since Pan doesn't know how or when her grandparents met) just kind of rolling with whatever?

Realizations may set in later, with the inevitable 'she seems way less angry and happier like this' and hard choice of pushing her to meet Goku (who may or may not have found someone else by then) or supporting her and her new love/whatever? Time to find the dragonalls and wish her own dad into existence, huh? (also training together, florist stuff, all could come at some point)

If you'd prefer men, I do have a few to offer but none of them are proper fighters. Arranged marriages are, indeed, rather fun. Thank you for your time regardless)

Bucky Barnes | MCU

[endof_theline]

[andstripes]

[ So I haven't seen the newest Captain America or Thunderbolts yet (v behind thanks to work) but trying to get back into the swing of tagging and hey AUs.... ]

Steve Rogers (AU) - MCU - OTA

[doesntrunaway]

[He's already an AU, but it's fun to mess around with the why of it. But also absolutely down for full-canon-change AU things. Throw me an idea!]

[endof_theline]

[Not sure if you want a Bucky since you didn't tag me above, but if you do, then I'm up for some kind of AU, just let me know what u wanna do!]

Charles - Dead Boy Detectives - OTA

[just_aces]

[Lots of ideas for this boy, so many alive/alive-and-modern settings to throw him into, so many other things to throw him into, including just making him a hellhound in more canonical threads, it's fun for the whole family!]

Mal + Descendants a la Star Wars + OTA

[maladjusting]

[She's already an AU, I'd love to bounce her off other Star Wars folks, and can try further AUing her into other Situations™ as well.]

Gabreel King + OC + OTA

[malecompanion]

[Any universe with courtesans in it, he'll fit in fine. He was originally a Firefly OC, but like, I've done high fantasy through cyberpunk with him, whatever works.]

Henry Stillman | X-Verse OC | OTA

[malesiren]

[He can fit into a lot of universes! Bard in a D&D 'verse, musician and smuggler in Star Wars or Cyberpunk type universes, definitely a vampire in urban fantasy/supernatural type things. Basically if you've got an idea, I'll probably roll with it.]

Five Hargreeves | The Umbrella Academy | Ota

[oldmanfive]

[ Ooc; I'm open to ideas. Canon fusions, canon retellings, crossovers, etc. Feel free to hit me up with ideas. I prefer m/f pairings for shipping, but ota for platonic interactions. ]

Eames + Inception + OTA

[neededforger]

[I'm good with all sorts of things because regardless of what it is: it could just be practice for a job. Alternately: let's figure out how to pop your character into the Inception universe.]

Edwin Payne - Dead Boy Detectives - OTA (M/M for romantic/smut but anything goes for platonic)

[technicallyhellbound]

[So many different types of AU to be had with this boy, just starting with all the variations on 'alive' and/or 'alive and modern', but even more-or-less in-canon there's alterations to be made, Edwin as an incubus is a favorite, but I do love a full world-build a la Star Wars or Hunger Games or more generic like Cyberpunk.]

Chrissy Cunningham + Stranger Things + OTA

[cheerybomb]

[She's already an AU, but it's fun to do things like adapt her to Hunger Games or whatever. Vampires is also another fun one, especially if she's the one who comes back to Hawkins as Kas. Various alive!AUs are good too!
Can even go even more AU with the Rule 63 version at ccunningham, just let me know which you'd prefer]

Arthur | Inception | OTA

[domsconsigliere]

[I'm good with all kinds of stuff because it could just be practice for a job no matter what it is. Alternately: let's figure out how to adapt your character into the Inception universe.]

dr. stephen strange — mcu.

[emits]

( some ideas here. not interested in sex or "normal" (i.e. college/coffee shop/etc) aus. feel free to pm to plot. )

[counterstep]

( is it time for jacques bernes and his fancy foppish hair to join stéphane étrange on a quest for les défenseurs? lmaoo )

steph rogers (r!63) | mcu | ota

[dysmorphics]

[ please mark for thunderbolts spoilers, ty!

she's already an au, but i'm trash for aus in general soooo there's always more we can do if you're inclined c:

— canon fix-its and what ifs
— crossovers: x-men, dc, etc
— other canon settings: hunger games, star wars, asoiaf/hotd, etc ]

Ben Solo | Star Wars | OTA

[neverreallygone]

fever (dark urge) | baldur's gate 3 | ota

[abhorrently]

[up for pretty much anything aside from SOL/school/coffee shop au. huge fan of what-ifs, mafia, other types of fantasy, sci-fi, fake relationships, or auing someone into another canon. really, pitch an idea and i'll see what i can come up with.]

Arthur Morgan - Red Dead Redemption II - OTA20+

[unshakencowboah]

[Open to most AUs. Werewolves, vampires, ABO, ranch worker, etc.]

Shen Yuan (Shen Singqiu) | SVSSS

[peerlesschrysanthemum]

[I'm not interested in plain modern AUs (but spicing them up with another flavour of more fantasy, say, is good), but aside from that, I'm open to most things! Canon AUs, going sci-fi with it... soulmate AU might be a very delightful addition.

As a (very important) side note: I'm still voice-testing and SVSSS is my first xianxia anything so... I am doing my best.]
