#au fanfic methinks

[peachlicks79]

Oh no, I'm imagining SuperCorp AU for Jennifer's Body, tis the season and ending-wise the redemption arc would go over well since it's Kara and Lena XD

[bl4z1ng-tr1ckz]

Little angst idea for people who can draw comics because I can’t- /nf

What if the events of the season 1 finale changed? Dev ends up regretting everything he did deeply, and realizes how much he loved and cared for Peri.

…right when he was about to lose him.

The realization sets in and Dev takes off his sunglasses, walking to the one he used to call his fairy godparent. Dev gives his sunglasses to Peri as he tears up.

“Thank you,” Dev says, as he and Dale are teleported back to Earth, forgetting every trace of fairies and the magic they brought along wherever they went

If anyone wants to use this as inspiration for smth, do credit us :) -🔥

[angleofmusings]

soulmate au where soul marks appear on your skin when you first realize you love someone (in any sense of the word) and stay vibrant while that feeling is present. sometimes they’re words, sometimes images; from bright, multicolored realism to thin, monochromatic linework; never quite the same for any two people

- an athlete with an arm sleeve of bold statement pieces, all different and yet still cohesive as a whole, just like the team they represent

- a frequent concertgoer, covered in small sketches with bright colors but faded outlines, the specifics lost to time but the emotions still present

- a new parent, whose tiny, newly-appeared mark will keep expanding and redefining itself as their child gets older

- a social butterfly whose marks rearrange themselves when they introduce two people to each other; a living map of their community

soulmates that you create, not find. soulmates that require work and effort and time and energy and no power in the universe will ever just hand that to you, because building a community is not easy, it’s rotten work, and that’s exactly what gives it so much meaning. anything worth doing is worth doing well.

[chimerahyperfix]

loveletter on the brain. What do you mean there’s an entirely new AU for it?? I haven’t fully written the base AU yet. Whhat

[kalisseo]

OK if anyone's interested in the "I've been thinking about you" au I just posted a fanfic about it!! i don't have an update schedule for now sooo I'll just update whenever i have inspiration

https://archiveofourown.org/works/54949081

list of some clone high aus i have

-"clone high: re do": basically my silly au where I re write s2 and s3

-"the red means i love you": fem tophabe au where tina is a vampire and uuh they're girlfriends!!

-"I've been thinking about you": this was first a college au but it evolved, basically Topher and Abe date at the start of college, but abe just can't forget joan and joan feels the same, so he leaves topher for joan and never talk again, until years later abe after a hang out sees a poster of a singer and it's Topher!! and he goes to the little concert and they meet up again....maybe they kiss....

-gen swap au: yeah the clones just swap generations

-my ocs au: basically everything's the same but my ocs exists hehehe

i have fics of the second and third ones but idk if I should post them

[yandere-daydreams]

The appeal of ABO is the psychic damage it inflicts while reading it

that could be said of all fanfic tbh. personally my method of choice is saving all the fics longer than 4k words and reading them all at once in three hours chunks and there is most definitely some part of me that feels like have ascended from this mortal plane after i reach my twenty-six-thousandth word of hardcore dead dove coffee shop au porn. other media just doesn't hit like that methinks.

[daisiescomelate]

my favorite au in fanfics it's soulmates au, and i couldn't help to noticed that sukuna's true form has two faces, two arms, and two legs (according to the nihongi, a very very old japanese history book where we can find the first mention of the figure of sukuna in folklore), and that description matches with the theory of soulmates given by aristophanes in the symposium by plato.

the story is told by aristophanes during a discussion this character had with other philosophers about what love is. it tells the tell of people originally being these creatures with two faces, to arms, to legs, to sets of genitals, etc, that got punished by the gods and got separated.

all quotes are fragment of symposium from here: the internet archive classics

why they were a threat ergo they got punished:

"Terrible was their might and strength, and the thoughts of their hearts were great, and they made an attack upon the gods; of them is told the tale of Otys and Ephialtes who, as Homer says, dared to scale heaven, and would have laid hands upon the gods. Doubt reigned in the celestial councils. Should they kill them and annihilate the race with thunderbolts, as they had done the giants, then there would be an end of the sacrifices and worship which men offered to them; but, on the other hand, the gods could not suffer their insolence to be unrestrained."

so zeus split them in half

"At last, after a good deal of reflection, Zeus discovered a way. He said: "Methinks I have a plan which will humble their pride and improve their manners; men shall continue to exist, but I will cut them in two and then they will be diminished in strength and increased in numbers; this will have the advantage of making them more profitable to us. They shall walk upright on two legs, and if they continue insolent and will not be quiet, I will split them again and they shall hop about on a single leg." He spoke and cut men in two, like a sorb-apple which is halved for pickling, or as you might divide an egg with a hair; and as he cut them one after another, he bade Apollo give the face and the half of the neck a turn in order that the man might contemplate the section of himself: he would thus learn a lesson of humility."

and they are cursed to need each other, look for each other

"And when one of them meets with his other half, the actual half of himself, whether he be a lover of youth or a lover of another sort, the pair are lost in an amazement of love and friendship and intimacy, and would not be out of the other's sight, as I may say, even for a moment: these are the people who pass their whole lives together; yet they could not explain what they desire of one another. For the intense yearning which each of them has towards the other does not appear to be the desire of lover's intercourse, but of something else which the soul of either evidently desires and cannot tell, and of which she has only a dark and doubtful presentiment."

so i keep thinking about a story where sukuna is defeated and sealed, losing his true form because a part of his soul dispersed and escaped somewhere as the other half of him was being fragmented and put into fingers. if i don't remember wrong, according to folklore sukuna didn't obediently follow the commands of an emperor and tended to cause ruckus and because of that said emperor send someone to execute him, so it'll add up with the idea of infuriating a god because they consider him a threat because of his strength.

then a thousand years later he strangely fits perfectly inside this boy, making him the perfect vessel for some unknwon reason, a boy that looks almost exactly like him for some other strange reason.

one day, bored out of his mind, sukuna is walking around yuuji's mind and stumbles across images, memories, more than a thousand years old that look so familiar to him. he realizes that yuuji is the part of his soul he lost back then, understanding that they are both the same but also very distinct individuals since this fragment of his soul had being apart from him for so long and had grown and develop on its own.

this idea also comes from some other thing i read about the original sukuna that said that maybe he came to be a symbol of twins or brothers from ancient history, and the theory that maybe sukuna represented actually two brothers (kagosaka no miko and oshikuma no miko) that were sons of an emperor, which would go pretty well with a platonic soulmates au.

ps. the way aristophanes describes one of this types of creatures (because there were three types: woman+woman, man+man, and then this third one) that looks like two people into one is like a third genre he called "androgynous" (i don't think it's necesserily woman+man but something different that doesn't exist anymore according to him, idk), that has both female and male characteristics, and in the lights that we found out sukuna lactates and he might be pregnant now, i think it fits perfectly to what his true form shows to be now in the manga.

ps2. i'm not a philosopher, i actually don't know what i'm talking about, just very passionate about the topic of soulmates in general.

Fic Writer Things & Tags

thanks for the tag @faceofpoe

1. How did you get into writing fanfiction?

I've done fanfiction in my head since I could read books, I was forever rereading my favourite stories and thinking of au's, gapfillers, backstories.... later I also did that with my favourite films and shows. Often my favourite characters weren't necessarily the main characters so I took what I could find about them and enhanced their stories. I never wrote anything down though, that is until The Wind That Shakes The Barley came along - I jotted down some notes and a few single scenes (never to be finished/published though).

I only ever discovered that fanfic existed when the LOTR films came out and that's when I started reading fanfic on LJ and Henneth Annûn. It took a looong time until I actually started writing (and publishing) - there was a group on LJ that had monthly writing challenges with prompts so I started with that, it was mostly drabbles and very short stories.

2. How many fandoms have you written in?

2, LOTR and Star Wars

3. How many years have you been writing fanfiction?

about 9 methinks but with big gaps in between

4. Do you read or write more fanfiction?

at the moment I hardly read at all so I actually write more but I hope that'll change soon because I just love reading and I love reading a good fanfic

5. What is one way you’ve improved as a writer?

Uh, hard to say. (Have I improved at all?) I think moving from drabbles to actual stories and that means to let go of pondering over every single word and just go with the flow sometimes (even though I still do a lot of editing)

6. What’s the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

I'll have to confess that I'm not a big researcher, if in doubt I'll stay vague or make shit up. That is probably one way I'd need to improve as a writer

7. What’s your favorite type of comment to receive on your work?

A comment telling me

that I wrote in character.

that the tone of the story feels right.

that a story is intense, when readers notice that I carefully chose words to fit in with the tone/theme.

that the angst worked

All those are really important to me

8. What’s the most fringe trope/topic you write about?

I guess writing Poe & Jess friendship stories

9. What is the hardest type of story for you to write?

long stories, elaborate plot, action scenes

10. What is the easiest type?

angst

much hurt, little comfort

drabbles and very short fic

11. Where do you do your writing? What platform? When?

using my laptop, LibreOffice Writer, usually at night when I've some time for myself

12. What is something you’ve been too nervous/intimidated to write, but would love to write one day?

long story, elaborate plot

some serious whump

13. What made you choose your username?

Ness is a character in a favourite book and réalta means star and I like stars

Tagging @rebelandrichgirl and @willowtree-888

[pleaktale]

Oh what's that in my eye 🥲

Idk why I hadn't thought of this before but uh, this my 2nd request:3

Bitter Orange for Hobie with💧who thinks he escaped alive with R (from wherever it's up to you but i can suggest like after getting some supplys or being stuck somewhere for a while because it was infested with zombies) and got back to their base safely but little did he know, they didn't tell him that they got bit ;3

I'd like to add to the request I just made (Bitter Orange Hobie w 💧) and uh, this can be optional ig? but can they be best friends who've been pinning over each other but now Hobie never got a chance to confess his feelings n stuff and maybe they do it in those last moments?

Thank you for requesting this heart wrenching fic lmaoo hope u like it!! ❤️

Katy's one year celebration 🎉

Hobie comes back to you after three days, he's drenched in sweat and grime. But it's all worth it for the two bags full of supplies that you two need. They're at least a month worth of survival, a month without needing to go out and put yourselves in danger. He could've brought you with him if not for your raging fever and cough, he had to go alone. A part of him was glad that he went alone, he was stuck in a warehouse for an entire day while waiting for the hoard to pass by. You would've hated waiting in the dark and damp place especially with your sickness.

You said you were fine to be left behind, that it was just a simple cold that you can fight with the leftover meds. But when he opens the unlocked door that he specifically told you to barricade, the rotting smell of flesh and decay greets him instead of your smile. It tells him that shouldn't have left. It tells him that his greatest fear has come true.

The bags he painstakingly heaved from the city to the cabin in the woods where you two had been surviving in for months now drops like a death knell on the dilapidated floors. It was home for you and Hobie, he still remembers the day you found it. His heart hammered in his chest when he turned around only to find you gone. And then your scream turned him into the fastest man alive, only to find you jumping for joy in front of the old hunter’s cabin.

He knows exactly why he was so afraid that day, even though it was just a second of you not by his side— he has never been without you. Through the years, way before the world ended, you've been by his side. Always latching on to him, always smiling at him. Or was it the other way around? Was it him latching onto you like paint on a wall? Or was it him who always smiled at you? Nevertheless, he loves you, he loves you even when the world ended. He loves you enough to drag himself across town to come get you while the world around him was burning and crumbling.

But he shouldn't have left, he shouldn't have stayed a day more to find you that bottle of shampoo you have always been on the lookout for. It was a surprise, a happy one this time, none of the walking dead jumping at you from a corner. He would do anything to see you smile again, just like when you found the cabin. You've been trying hard to stay positive for him, but he knows, and you knew that it was all to reassure him. He takes care of you and you take care of him, he wouldn't like it any other way.

Grief already clings to him like a vine snaking along a tree. It grips him tighter with every step he takes. Hobie's hand shakes as he reaches towards your shared bedroom door. He hoped that the smell would be gone by then, but it only persisted as he got closer and closer to the last place he saw you.

He should've told you he loves you.

Your milky white eyes are the first things he sees. He grips the door for balance, chest heaving, heart plummeting to his stomach.

You growl at him, skin no longer bearing life, skin shrunken around your nail beds, claws reaching towards him in a rush.

Hobie freezes and awaits your teeth tearing into his flesh, he'd join you, would that be so bad?

Yet, death doesn't come for him. Chains rattle behind you as you growl and desperately try to tear him apart. Hobie, now realizing what you've done to yourself, cries at the sight of your ankles bound on the bed. Your deathbed. You died alone and sick, you died without him by your side, you died crying for him. But it still crossed in your hazy mind to tie yourself down so when he comes home he doesn't face the same fate you had.

His sobs echo among your inhuman groans, tears streaming down his cheeks as you relentlessly try to grab him even in your bound state. Hobie refuses to look at you any longer, refusing to remember you like this. His eyes flick down at your feet. There's medicine scattered along the floor and bedside table. And there's still water left in your glass. A bloody bandage is still tightly wrapped around your thigh. A testament that you fought to stay human until he gets home, that you tried to cure yourself even though you knew it would be futile.

“Why didn't you tell me?” He asks in a broken voice, a voice he doesn't recognize as his own. “I could've stayed for you.” He knows that you didn't stop him because you didn't want him to see you slowly ebb away into a husk. That your death will break him apart right in front of you while he refuses to let you go. That his sorrowful face would be the last thing you ever saw. “I could've been here for you.”

You spared the both of you pain and suffering.

Hobie doesn't know what to do now, you're dead and gone. And there's no one left.

“I should've—” he inhales, slipping down from the wall to the floor. “I love you. I hope you knew that.”

You continue to slash at the air, chains rattling, bed frame pulling you away from him. Hobie sees a resemblance of you behind your foggy eyes, he can't help but think if you're still in there, that you're still fighting inside. He thinks you knew he loved you, he thinks that you might've felt the same after all those years with him. But that's all from his mind, all he wants now is to hear your voice again.

He just stays there on the floor, grief sinking him further down, eating him alive with every guttural growl you yell.

He shouldn't have left.

[the-bloody-sadist]

this is probably a really silly question, but, ah, as someone who really enjoys your bsd fanfiction and dark dazai-centric fanfiction by other authors, would it be fulfilling to read the bsd manga? i feel like i SHOULD bc ... at this point, it seems pretty silly not to. but on the other hand, the manga looks like a Commitment, and i'm not very interested in atsushi (and he IS the main character) or most of the ADA members.

NO.

NO, I REPEAT, NO. DO NOT, UPON ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, EXPECT YOU WILL GET ANYTHING INTERESTING FROM THE BSD CANON IF WHAT YOU LIKE IS DARK, DAZAI-CENTRIC FANFICTION THAT I OR OTHER AUTHORS WRITE (also heh *smooths eyebrow* I'm so flattered you like my work, thank you) OKAY?

The reason why dark, Dazai-centric BSD fanfiction exists is because in the manga/anime he is COMIC RELIEF. Depression man comic relief. Suicidal man comic relief. HE IS PLAYED AS A SUICIDE JOKE. It's really infuriating. He gets his moments but like he was created to be fanficed, methinks. Methought, actually, because then I did it and it became past tense.

WOW.

I'm losing it today. BUT NO YEAH ATSUSHI SUCKS AND IT'S ALL ABOUT HIM AND HIS GUILT COMPLEX AND HIS ONE (1) SINGULAR PTSD FLASHBACK. And Dazai just plays side goofy to him until they get into his mafia 15yo arc.

If you decide to read any manga, I would recommend the BEAST manga!! It's a dark, canon AU of the original story and honestly would've served better as the main story imo. I haven't read all of it but I know what happens, and yeah. Very sad. Still unfulfilling. BUT IT HOLDS THAT DARK SIDE THAT BSD DOES NOT. And Dazai is properly depressed instead of a running suicide gag.

[liauditore]

i really adore hot duo, they are so 🤲💕

and as a scaridarity and ranchers and hotduo shipper... cowboy trio. there's not much with them, but they're not just double silly, they're triple silly

(cowboy trio bc sheriff (and rancher), his deputy and second rancher)

yeah, i use 🔥 emoji in romeo's blog, how do you know?

cowboy trio 🥺🥺

they would get up to so much mischief together. mainly towards grian methinks (he would go insane, it'd be so funny). you should put them in a jar and shake them 👍

i can totally see them in a western au or something as just.. jimmy and tango are the only ones keeping their little backwater town afloat in the middle of nowhere (they're called the sheriff and deputy but they're really just farmers trying to gather up what exports they can to sell as rent to whatever government entity is funding them).

Scar's an infamous wandering outlaw who's been injured in a chase and rides into tumble town in order to seek help. The ranchers, being completely out of the loop on current affairs because they're so isolated from everyone, take him in.

Eventually Scar recovers and sees how the ranchers are basically living in poverty and in true Scar fashion starts coming up with business opportunities with them. they'd probably be completely wild hairball schemes with questionable legality but jimmy and tango are happy to try anything at this point. hijinks ensue.

if you wanna take it even further you could probably add in the rest of DL as side characters. pearl and the boat boys would work great as outlaws, grian as scar's former right-hand turned traitor, scott as a wealthy heir who isn't over jimmy rejecting his proposal, etc. etc.

my favourite past-time nowadays is stalking my mutuals blogs and reading random headcanons/fanfic ideas and i have somewhat of a knack for clocking the way ppl type (probs cus ive been told i have a very unique way to typing myself, lol). romeo and i have shared custody of u now or something idk lmao

[gribblehusband]

Hi shadow. It's me. The devil!

Anyways, Im coming to ask two questions. One being how do you start writing a story? I had a dream last night that I would want to turn into either a game or fanfic one day (DJD withered AU) but I just don't know where to start. And two, can I give Kaon a copious amount of miso soup?

Just shoot me a DM if you wanna know abt the AU :3

Tyty!!!

okay first off djd withered au sounds cool as fuck but also if that was your dream id be shitting my pants after i woke up the withered animatronics are already so scary. making the giant torture bots withered is like. PEAK scary. so very deeply cool tho

to answer your first question its kind of like. really really hard for me to start on stuff, theres like a whole DEEPLY mentally ill process to it. where i pace around, daydream about it, talk to friends nonstop, slowly build ideas and plot points, make a playlist, etc etc. and then by the end of it all ive reached the max on my power bar and lock in for like eight hours, write 4-6k words in one sitting and then go to bed. where i then edit it in the morning with fresh eyes. my process is IN NO WAY efficient, its just incredibly sporadic and insane. i dont even plan very far ahead, i like… can i be so real with you rn? i write as i go and im pretty sure it 100% shows in my plot and pacing, which is where i lack the most power. however, its how i do it unfortunately. im on my break at work rn typing this response so idk if any of this makes sense, but im PRAYING it does.

to answer your second question, i dont think kaon would be a big fan of miso soup. he has a huge sweet tooth and, though he will never admit it, also really enjoys fresh fruit (he loves fruit juice). miso soup would probably be too salty for him. vos however would like miso soup methinks.

[lunar-wandering]

I should warn you all that even i think the way im gonna write this scene is Intense and i read danny phantom fiction. If you know you know.

Do your WORST Sol, I DARE YOU Square Up (ง •̀_•́)ง you think you can make Mac's death the worst there is, I'd like to see you try (lighthearted, joking) I will be crying in your inbox, but fr I've seen a variety and what kind of knife will you be stabbing us with.

Bold of you to assume I'm going to use a knife. What if i pull out a gun what will you do then huh-

[demonstars]

hanahaki? 👀

oh god this reminded me one night me and oli spent like hours talking about a non pain based dnf hanahaki au. anyway again its a D- depends too much on the set up and whether or not the author does it Justice methinks

fanfic tropes ask game
