(ooc; i LOVE an au.)

[High-fantasy crown prince! Arranged-marriage-to-more is highly likely, but any sort of courtshippy setup is valid, so don't hesitate to suggest something!]

[ I'm still setting up her journal, but when I see romance? I go for it. ]

[Canon era, Modern era, AUs, bring it on.]

[yes give me a good fantasy au.]

((ooc; happy to discuss aus, particularly interested in: masquerade, how it begins, learn from me, marriage of inconvenience, it's fate))

(ooc: the rumors are true, i'm a total sucker for a period au.)

[20+ OTA, I LOVE AUs but of course these don't even have to be AUs in some prompts! Castmates (especially JINUS and her girls), crosscanon, crossmedium, assumed CR, AUs, OCs etc all always welcome!]

( i love an ASOIAF / ACOTAR-esque au. info & prefs on journal! )

[info & permissions! political hostage / aimless playboy dissatisfied with his privileged(?) direction in life, hailing from a world with a regency era bg

i love a good masquerade, and i think any of the clothing options would be fun too. very interested in writing yearning, but also happy to thread an established relationship. i can AU him into other verses/write starters! OTA to other ocs, cross-medium, canons]

Ota

(ooc; ooh, au's!)

[Easily AU'd into medieval period/fantasy settings!]

(ooc: Yessssss, gotta love au's.)

[Bare bones about her: sarcastic seer with a knack for finding trouble, or having trouble find her. More in-depth information about her is here. Can easily AU her into just about anywhere.]

[Here there be the potential for spoilers. I'll avoid them as much as I can, though. Here for AUs and what-ifs and timeline nonsense. Crosscanon always welcome. Getting back into things with her because she finally has icons!]

[Fell down the Clair Obscur rabbit hole and then she happened. AUs, assumed CR, crosscanon, fix-its, I'm here for all the shenanigans.]
