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.

Ikusaba Mukuro | Dangan Ronpa

[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?]

1/2

[truthsnomiracle]

[It may sound more like something more appropriate to a supermarket tabloid from his own world than a chronicle from this one, but it was in fact the truth. Just... not a truth that Edgeworth expected to hear repeated here yet. Upon overhearing this headline, Edgeworth stops and rubs his temple with a sigh.]

(I suppose that particular "news" following in my wake was inevitable -- even if I hadn't expected it to escape the borders of Zilargo so quickly. Perhaps I underestimated this world's communications technology...)

[After all, said technology does include House Orien's mail, which travels by enchanted trains and teleportation, and House Sivis's magical network of crystals not entirely unlike the telegraphs of yore in effective function.]

2/2

[truthsnomiracle]

[After his mild irritated surprise passes, Edgeworth finally approaches the papergirl, crossing his arms.]

Excuse me.

[puppet_show]

[As she looks up, her expression, if possible, grows brighter.]

Why, it's the strange cleric in the flesh! Hello there, Miles Edgeworth!

[truthsnomiracle]

[And Edgeworth's... doesn't.]

While I must concede the skill of your chronicle's reporters, I would appreciate not being addressed as "strange".

[puppet_show]

Well, we can only strive to be the best, after all!

And... is there something wrong with that descriptor? I'd say it's rather true! After all, you don't come across many clerics who claim to believe in not a single god, much less one that also claims to come from another world.

[truthsnomiracle]

Apt or not, it's an inappropriate thing to state quite so directly to someone's face. Furthermore, I don't merely claim the former. As for the latter, not the slightest hint of a better explanation for my predicament presents itself.

[puppet_show]

We of the Curious Chronicle believe it's important to stick to the truth no matter how messy it may be. After all, if the readers can't trust us to give them the full story, there's no point in reporting it in the first place!

[truthsnomiracle]

An admirable trait to be certain. (Even if its particular manifestation in this case is questionable.)

...Has there really been no one so dedicated to that ideal as to cause this reaction before?

[Of course, what Edgeworth means by a "reaction" might not be clear to just anyone, since clerics generally don't refer to the manifestation of their powers in such a way and typically only Archival Foundation members would even think to... but then, Hiyono isn't just anyone.]

...Indulge me for a moment, Mr. Traveler.

Based on what you've observed of this place so far and the reactions of the people here...

What do you think?

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

severine ➨ ian fleming's james bond (skyfall)

[ 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. ]

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.)
