A.U.gust 2023

It's A.U. time!! Here's the list of prompts for this year (sorry it's so late, I literally just realized it's almost August!).

As usual, any kind of fanwork is accepted. Really, any. All you've got is a headcanon? We want it! Drabble? Yes, please! Moodboard? Do share!

There's no need to sign-up, but do make sure to tag me (using @) in the body of the post - sorry, doing it in the tags doesn't work.

There's one prompt for each day of the month, so please don't post ahead of schedule, but feel free to post a bit late, just please make it clear which day your fanwork is for.

Here's the AO3 collection, and I'll also keep this post pinned, so feel free to check it any time you need. And send me an ask if you've got any questions.

One last thing: these prompts are for Alternative Universe fanworks. So, for instance, if it says Circus or Pirate, it can't be a work in which them, in our universe, go to the circus or dress up as pirates for Halloween. This time it's got to really be an AU.

Now, without further ado, the prompts:

Noir Detective

Surfer/lifeguard

Bodyswap

Teacher(s)

Cyberpunk

Genderswap

Merpeople

Circus

College

Zombie Apocalypse

Coffee Shop

50's

Reincarnation

Hallmark

Pen pals

Soulmate

Pornstar

Robin Hood

Sports

Magic

Celebrity

Bodyguard

Pirate

Regency

Vampire

Reality TV

Royalty

Time Travel

Office

Cowboys

Free day (but still AU!)

Gallavich A.U.gust ✨ Day 3 ~ Bodyswap

I’ve never read bodyswap fic! Did I do it right?? This was so fun to think about- as a fic this would be too complicated lol - but was a cool moodboard exercise … TY @gallavichthings 💕

Ian is a shy barista who dreams of a medical career. When a group of hot, confident doctors comes in for their morning espressos, Ian wishes he could trade places with one of them for just one day.

Mickey still lives under his father’s thumb, forced into a life of white-collar crime and wishes more than anything to trade places with the powerful executives he tails for his dad - to run his own business, drive a hot car, date who he wants.

A freak lightening storm hits Chicago just as four people approach The Blue Line Cafe. A barista, a doctor, a thief and his victim.

After a light knocks them all out, they awaken to realize something’s not right … Ian finds himself in a broad-shouldered, tall body in scrubs. Mickey’s inside the body of a man in an expensive suit, keys to a Porsche jangling in his pocket. Their eyes lock.

What happens when Ian and Mickey’s wishes come true? Is it love at first sight if you’re not even in your own body? How will they figure out how to return to themselves again? Will their connection fade when they do - or will they fall for each other all over again? ✨✨✨

And then a whole separate story for the doctor and businessman who are temporarily Ian and Mickey?!
