The AU and Crossover Grab Bag Meme

This is the meme for muns who love all kinds of AUs and crossovers.

[How To]

1. Post as your character. (Please write down the name and canon/fandom of the character in the subject line, and also if they're canon, AU, crossover or OC, etc. Please also write down preferences, etc in the comment box)

2. Choose a scenario, or any combinations of any scenarios you want to try out. Making up your own scenario is fine, too! Either mun can make the suggestions for a scenario.

3. Thread, tag and have fun!

[Sample Scenarios]

1. [AU] The Role Switch AU - Main Character, Side Character - The main characters are now supporting characters, and the supporting characters are now main characters.

2. [AU] The Role Switch AU - Main Character Group Role-Switching - If your character's canon has a main character duo, or a main character group, swapping roles around inside the group is alright, too. (Example(1) The Fighter is now in charge of strategy, while the Strategist is is in charge of the fighting... Example (2) It's a Five Man Band kind of group, and the Hero has been swapped with the Smart Guy.)

3. [AU] The Role Switch AU - Main Character vs Opponent Character or Rival Character - The main characters are now the opponents or rivals of the story, while the opponent characters or the rival characters are the main characters

4. [AU or Crossver] Through the Wormhole We Go. The characters have fallen through a wormhole, etc, into another world.

5. [AU or Crossover] World Fusion. Your characters have now been AU'd into a world with elements from all kinds of fandoms/canons, genres, or original worlds.

6. [Crossover] AU'd Into Another Canon/Fandom. One or both of characters have now been AU'd into a world from a different canon/fandom from their original one.

7. [AU] AU'd Into Another Genre. One or both of characters have now been AU'd into a world with a different genre from their original one.

8. [AU or Crossover] Now We Are AU Versions Of Each Other. One or both characters who are threading have been turned into AU versions of each other. Example - Tsukino Usagi has tagged Bruce Wayne, and they are now Bat Lady and Tuxedo Bat.

9. [AU] Alternate Timeline. Things have changed in the character's world's timeline, and there are many differences, big and small. Example - Bruce Wayne's parents didn't end up dead when he was a child.

10. [AU] AUs that aren't Alternate Timelines, But Are Different Worlds Entirely. Example - The canon was historical drama, the AU version has dragons and magic.

11. [AU or Crossover] Summoned To Another World. One or both of the characters have been summoned to a different world - Either to save the world, or for a different reason entirely.

12. [AU] The Genderflip AU.

13. [AU] The High School AU.

14. [AU] The Alignment Shift AU - Good characters are now Evil, and Evil Characters are Good. Chaotic Characters may now be Lawful, and visa versa, etc.

Parker | Leverage

[onlyparker]

((Pretty much open to anything))

Ikusaba Mukuro | Dangan Ronpa

[hope_in_chaos]

[Anything would be great, but am I the only one that wants to see an alternate universe where people don't die?]

Miles Edgeworth | Ace Attorney, but for this meme...

[truthsnomiracle]

[...I invite you to play off of this screwball crossover in progress! Basically a How-to #4, destination canon Eberron, which is a Dungeonpunk world with elements of pulp and noir... and due to some little-understood technicality of divine magic (whose connection to any theoretical gods is canonically unproven), Edgeworth unwillingly wound up as a cleric. No, really.

If you want to play off of TDworth, then jamjar your character to his side, AU them in if you know Eberron, or get more creative if you've got ideas!

Of course, I'm open to other options unrelated to TD or TDworth too.]

[puppet_show]

[There's a girl in the street with a satchel full of chronicles calling out to passerbys with quite some enthusiasm! She's even got one in hand, waving it at people as she pitches the writings.]

Extra, extra, read all about it! Gnome Party Busted After Mooning Residents from Rooftops! Mysterious Explosions - are They Magic, Science, or Something Inbetween?

And let's not forget the headline news of the day: Atheist Cleric Claims to be Traveler from Another World!

[...Wait, what?]

Dick Grayson | Batman | OTA

[justlikeacircus]

[AUs make me a very very happy bunny, really really open to ANYTHING]

Stiles Stilinski | Teen Wolf | OTA

[keepsmeawake]

[ALL THE THINGS]

[haled]

[[How do you feel about a fairy tale AU? And possibly something where they know they've been dropped into another world?]]

Pumkin | Baman Piderman | OTA

[new_feets]

[An AU in which he is somewhat more human would probably be helpful, y'know, for speaking]

Fenrir | Norse Mythology | OTA

[ragnarokwolf]

[Up for anything]

Gaius Maecenas | Rome | OTA

[smirkinbackground]

[Modern AUs ftw, but also up for anything]

16. Just because awesome.

[stillfriends]

Natasha takes another sip of her drink and evaluates the men at the bar. There are only a handful with nice suits and even less with no wedding ring. Not that lack of one is a requirement these days. Times are tough and her checkbook and morals are running light.

Her eyes settle on a man at the end of the bar. Tall, dark and handsome he seems to be waiting for someone. She smiles, polishing off her drink and sliding off her stool. It's just become her job to make it her he was waiting on.

She takes the stool beside him, smiling over at him and reaching out with her hand to trail down the sleeve of his jacket. "Nice suit."

Crowley | Good Omens | OTA

[tendencytohiss]

[Anything! Gimme!]

5 / 16?

[unutterable]

[When Crowley comes back to his car from doing... well, whatever he's doing around London, another demon is waiting for him.

Well, is hovering around the Bentley, anyway. This one hasn't bothered with a human body, and is in fact fairly small; more than a few passers-by have slowed to give the odd, floating... rabbit-ish thing... quizzical, slightly stunned stares, before their brains overwrote the situation and decided that something like that was impossible and he couldn't actually be there.

So Zipp was being ignored, for the most part. And he seemed to be more "interested spectator" than "lying in wait," elite demon or not.]

Nice ride! I don't drive myself, but this certainly is a sharp car for the demon on the go.

Loki Laufeyjarson | Norse Mythology | OTA

[theliesmith]

[Up for anything]

⊱ ℳ ⊰ james bond (craig continuity)

[comptroller]

( this m is still early on in her career, before she became head of mi6 )

mind... an AU of an AU?

[waterfell]

[She's a hologram, stirring to life in a shimmer of predominantly blue lights. Her design is somewhat fanciful; someone in Q branch must have been bored. Or just wondering what reaction it would get.

Fanciful design or not, Mist watches a computer screen. Her face pulls into a frown as she seems to divide her attention.]

I can keep them out of anything critical, but some of these files may already be compromised. I'll locate the precise ones immediately.

(ooc: basic premise for the character AU was that Mercury's sailor power guardian from Sailor Moon is actually an AI. for this, seemed reasonable she might have been developed over in Q branch.)

severine ➨ ian fleming's james bond (skyfall)

[loan]

[ I'm going to bastardize this meme and offer up (1) Skyfall AU, where-in Severine lives but was also a deep cover double-oh agent.

Hit me. ]

Sherlock Holmes | BBC Sherlock | OTA

[improbably_true]

(I am mostly interested in Sherlock being the sidekick or less of a major character - just for fun, but other AU's are fine, too.)

Clyde Langer | The Sarah Jane Adventures | OTA

[lordclydinator]

[pretty much up for anything]

james bond | craig!bond franchise | OTA

[efficacies]

[ open to anything. ]

[eightlazylegs]

[Vaguely sci-fi 'present day but with a little futuristic shit tacked on' AU? ...I mean that's practically Bond canon anyway.]

steve rogers / captain america ( mcu )

[carob]

Connor MacLeod | Highlander | OTA

[1stmacleod]

((This version of Connor is technically AU since he's post-endgame but still alive. Canon for 1st, 3rd, and 4th movies + TV series. Ask or check the timeline on his journal for details.

I'm happy to play AU/world fusion/crossover, or play in the past along his timeline. Open for pretty much anything, really. Just ask!))

Tyrell Badd | Ace Attorney

[tasteoftruth]

[OTA, but I'd really love a superhero and/or supernatural AU.]

Castiel | Supernatural

[wayward_angel]

What kind of SPN AU?

Hermes | An octopus
