MODERN DAY AU

the modern AU meme

the more things change, the more they stay the same:

Same people, but it's Earth, 2016.

So, maybe today, your mortal enemy is your dodgy roommate, or your annoying colleague, or, god forbid, maybe you're dating. Your former teammate, or ally, or whatever is your best drinking bud. Your pretty love-interest is that chick from your history tutorial group that keeps ignoring you.

But whatever the dynamics, your entire timeline is now based in the normal, boring old human world, in normal, boring old 2016.

Your problems might have once been fighting for the resistance, destroying aliens, and slaying dragons - well, sorry to break it to you homeboy/girl/other - you're now slugging it out with the worst of them. How you gonna pay last year's rent?

((Hmm. Crazy random happenstance? Depending on how much time Frank spends in Hell's Kitchen / mid-town Manhattan, Matt could run into him anywhere. Or. They could have a mutual acquaintance somehow? I'm very bad at this.))
