this is not a writing challenge, this is just a list of summer au's that have been collecting dust in my google docs that i'm both sick of looking at, and also feel like for those who also really enjoy writing summery fics, could always use more inspiration or ideas for au's or scenario's (even if it's just smutty or fluffy blurbs).

please make note that anyone can use these for any fandom or character. it's literally for everyone, for whatever ship, gender, or verse. no one owns au's and everyone makes them their own and writes differently. so please do with the content below as you wish!!

you don't gotta tag me if you use one but would i love to read your beautiful work? hell yeah so feel free to if ya feel like it.

i separated each into categories + some might have added context or prompts because i have zero self control and like to be extra and add ideas onto things lmao.

hopefully someone finds these fun and helpful, happy writing my loves <3

[presidentbungus]

option 1: post-canon, spy visits a team reunion in boston over smissmas, reconnects with scout, maybe ends up forced to confront the feelings he's had for engineer since they parted ways. continu-sequel to more than you probably think which i wrote like a year and a half ago (holy shit)

option 2: halloween, demo gets his body stolen by merasmus for nefarious purposes (and his soul promptly shoved into the persian persuader, which fake demo vanishes with); scout and eyelander team up and move with the rest of the team to save him and go on a big fun halloween adventure or something cool and fun like that

option 3: sniper hates engineer for being so weird and passive-aggressive and hard to read, engineer hates sniper because sniper hates him, and then look at that there's some rich prick in a microcamera-studded minisentry-packed forest somewhere whos head needs a-shootin' and specifically the only two people who can get the job done are the 2 guys who hate each other. im sure your lifetime of fanfiction experience is informing you as to where this is going to go. funtime road trip, theres only one bed in the camper, putting pressure on bleeding wounds (sexily), all sorts of fun things like that

also BIG two, like long long, will probably try to finish other ones first so my ao3 page doesnt remain inactive for a full 2 years but including these for posterity:

option 4: space AU, sort of demo focused, sort of not. main 9 are having great, vaguely interconnected times doing crimes in various corners of the universe, oh no gray mann's giant wild west space casino has all the space australium in the big space vault, so what is there to do except a giant wild west space heist. yes, demoengieheavy (also potentially medic as a secret fourth thing) because i said so, and they hate each other and it's really dramatic i promise. demo is an octopus-man, engie is a wild west robot-man, sniper is a mermaid-man, you know the drill and the drill is awesome

option 5: the one where engie is a clone of radigan. it is extremely elaborate and i am just going to trust youve seen my posts on this one (or my deeply deranged ramblings about it on one of several discord servers (including my own which is pretty cool i am just saying)). complexes galore, demo/engie is there and it is VERY complicated, split between very unfortunate stories from engie's childhood, and a present-day plot following engie through his time in the gravel wars, where he slowly works through all the damage and maybe gets involved in some mann co patented Dark, Torrid Secrets© on his way. normal girlboss things

bonus points if you ask me questions or something about any of these i'll give you an itty bitty little bitty kiss on the forehead

[starspangledpumpkin]

hey!!!!!!!! i'm your wicked secret santa. i'm excited to get started and have some ideas but wanted to ask if you had specific requests for scenarios or tropes that you'd like to see? thanks! xx

Howdy! Tumblr didn't alert me to your message.

So the tropes that I enjoy, food for thought, are: Hurt/Comfort; Puppy Love; Mutual Pining; Friends to Lovers

Some other scenarios that I would enjoy are Creature AUs like Werewolf, Vampire, Mermaid, etc.

You can mix and match or even just use one of these, I'm pretty game with whatever. As long as it's Fiyeraba and they are in love, I'll be a happy camper.

You can do a holiday theme if you'd like, but I am Jewish so I'm not entirely fond of Christmas with the serial numbers filed off (aka Lurlinemas). If you want to have fun with the world building and create an Ozian Winter Holiday I'd be fascinated to see what you come up with.

[norcumii]

Sliding in juuuust a little late (again - we’re 2 for 2!), I got some Rex/Obi for y’all for @rexobiweek!

I had at least two other ideas there were absolutely not working, and of course a chat with @dogmatix this evening meant she sparked a whole NEW plunnie.

Several hours and 2k odd words later, here we are.

Whoops?

This’ll go up on AO3 tomorrow. Fic beneath the cut!

Love Like the Tide - rated PG, modern AU, mermaid shenanigans, and mention of era-appropriate homophobia (and Jango’s spectacular parenting). Non-linear story-telling

using prompts of: Summer was almost over and they hadn't yet finished what they had intended to do; Skinny dipping; Sailor Knot Bracelets; lemonade; strawberries; sunflowers; Meteor Shower; Summer Fling; Wedding Invitation; Midnight Picnic

Obi-Wan’s always had a fondness for the little cave system at the furthest edges of the shoal’s territory. It’s dark and a little creepy, but generations of his people and humans have wandered through there, finding and leaving trinkets of various sorts. There’s some kind of camp on the human side of the caves, because during the warmest months there’s intermittent swarms of children of various ages clamoring around the beach at the oddest times.

And lots of teens making out in the caves. That was less than fun to realize, aside from – well. It was annoying.

Thankfully, it’s the last week of that camping nonsense, so Obi-Wan is looking forward to the autumnal quiet. And with the tide rolling in, it’s a good excuse to take a look at the caves. The easiest entrances are all underwater, but there’s a few of the larger ones that need high-tide to get to.

He swims off for them with the resolute determination that he’s just going for curiosity's sake. Nothing more.

***

As a teenager himself – not that his kind tended to think of that as an age group, but they had enough exposure through friends and allies that they understood the concept – Obi-Wan had been far too curious for his own good. He liked swimming too close to the humans, darting up the stream to their swimming hole to watch campers in their adorably awkward best to learn to swim.

(Adorable, and a bit laughable with all those legs and the splashing and no economy of motion whatsoever.)

He stuck too close to the shores, darting under the docks as they sprawled above him, sharing the strawberries they’d picked in some group activity.

(The ones they’d dropped in the water, by accident or teasing design – of course he’d snagged and eaten a number of them, and oh, he’d never tasted the like. He wasn’t one of the adults who dared to trade with the tiny handful of humans the shoal could trust, and he had no relatives of note who could vie for exotic goods. The memory of that strange sweetness had lingered with him for weeks.)

But he’d learned the price of curiosity, thanked the tides that it hadn’t been too cruel, and then he’d worked hard to keep his head down and out of trouble.

Mostly.

***

It’s easy to find the mouth of the caves, to slip inside and up, until his head breaks the surface and his gills eject water for air. His eyes are made for the deeps, so the cave itself is plenty bright. Smooth rock in delightful shapes, the erratic air-tide breeze trying to tug at his still dripping hair – Obi-Wan can admit in the privacy of his own mind that he always loves those first moments inside the rock hollows.

He lets the sway of the water carry him further in, and distantly he can make out the scent of smoke, the sound of laughter and human music. Someone mentioned there was some kind of party forming up the beach, but that’s far enough away he easily ignores it. He focuses instead on the wide, sloped ledge that at lower tides provides slippery access to the ground outside, and is just level enough that too ridiculously many picnics are held here.

It’s empty tonight, though Obi-Wan thinks he could easily hoist himself up, look out and see stars.

***

The stars had been brilliant that night, that third year in a row. He’d been just past his gawky phase, finally growing into his tail and limbs and feeling himself, watching the stars and feeling delightfully at peace with the world. His lips had still tingled, he could still taste strawberries and lemonade as drying salt prickled along his skin. Only his fins dipped into the water, and he’d known he’d have to return soon, but not yet.

They had time, yet.

(They hadn’t. There’d been startled voices, those teenagers who’d wanted to be necking only to be disappointed that the cave had been already occupied. Obi-Wan had slipped into the water almost in time – enough that he’d been presumed to be a human running away, not a mer swimming desperately for cover.

There’d been yelling. Awful words, fighting. Then angry human adults with flashlights and his own punishments when he’d fled right into the shoal’s adults who’d wanted to know what all the odd fuss was.

The memory of the reprimands that followed, the punishment detail of all the minor, boring drudge work – those were far less sweet.)

***

Obi-Wan shoves away from the ledge and the memories, moving further inside with purpose. He doesn’t stop at the large pool, instead squaring his shoulders and not glancing up at the wide walkway to his left. It’s empty, and there’s no reason to linger.

***

They often lingered together in the pool, tangled together. Obi-Wan’s gangly tail twining with Rex’s long silly legs, both working so hard to keep upright and not laugh – even giggling echoed so much in this area. The tunnels could carry that sound up, towards the humans, or out to the sea and across the waves where the shoal might notice. Of course, all it would take was one of them whispering an incredulous ‘skinny-dipping?’ to set them both off again. Obi-Wan just thought it sounded funny, and Rex would get an adorable flush up his neck as he’d glance over at the clothes he’d left on the stone.

(There’d been something lovely about it, the intimacy of nothing between them but the matching wristbands Rex had made them. Not that Obi-Wan would dare say, or could have imagined articulating.

Some dark nights, now years later, Obi-Wan wishes he had known how to craft those words.)

***

The very end of the cave opens to the sky – it’s a small, craggy opening, partially covered by grass, but Obi-Wan can glimpse the very edge of the moon and the tiny streaks of a meteor shower. The walkway ends in a shallow bowl, and humans are often silly and leave all sorts of trinkets there.

(At the end of that first, strange summer he swam in to find a bunch of sunflowers there, huge and bright as Rex’s hair. Obi-Wan hadn’t known what to do but laugh in astonishment, delighting in the strange, ridiculous gift.)

Tonight, there’s a man sprawled out there on his stomach, face turned away so all he can see is the short, bright blond.

That’s far more silly than Obi-Wan expected.

He’s honestly not sure he isn’t hallucinating.

He swims up to the edge of the bowl, peeking in. Full adult, and fully asleep as far as he can tell. Well-muscled, but lean, with dark skin. His dark pants are that weird length that’s too long for shorts, too short for actual pants, and his shirt’s sleeves are the same silly two-thirds length, giving him a bit of a formal air.

The thing that sets Obi-Wan’s heart racing though is three old, grimy bracelets held in the man’s hand, faded blue and once-white cords braided around each other. Three summers worth of bracelets, woven by those self-same hands if somehow, impossibly, he’s not hallucinating.

He tries to say a name, but it’s been over a dozen summers since he spoke a human tongue. A squeaky whistle comes out instead, and he has to clear his throat.

But that is enough, and Obi-Wan isn’t sure if he’s thrilled or terrified about that. The man’s head turns, and it’s Rex who faces him, older and with lovely strong lines to his face; delightful cheekbones; and that tender, sweet little smile on his lips. “Hi,” Rex whispers, then awareness clears his eyes and he jerks upright. “Oh holy shit, please don’t be a dream!”

Obi-Wan clears his throat again, a confused blush starting to burn its way up his cheeks. “Ah, hello there?” he tries, too confused to figure out which of a dozen questions he wants to ask.

Rex sits back, incredulity and stunned delight washing over his face. “It is you,” he breathes, then he grins. Obi-Wan isn’t sure, but he thinks Rex might also be starting to cry. “The beard is different. It suits you.”

“Thanks.” Obi-Wan resettles against the rock, and he can’t stop from reaching out to trace some faded scars along Rex’s chin and cheek. “These – they healed well.”

(He has faint stubble now, rough little hairs along his jaw. It’s hard, to pull his hand back instead of trying to find out what else feels different.)

He can’t read the human’s expression as Rex just looks at him, then he looks away, swiping a hand across his eyes. “You saw that.” As if Obi-Wan could forget any little detail of the last time he saw Rex, saw him brawling with the larger, older boy who’d called him terrible names.

(There’d been a sharp-edged ring cutting the bloody line across Rex’s cheek; his chin had smashed into the ground after another ugly punch. The tides had washed away the blood, for all that Obi-Wan sometimes still sees it in the shadows.)

“Yes.” He doesn’t know how to articulate all that, to compress years of grief and regret down into words, especially not human words. “I understand why you didn’t come back.”

Rex shakes his head, making a huff of noise that might be a laugh, or a scoff. “Session was over, but – no. My dad was the only one who was upset about the kissing a boy thing instead of the out after curfew thing.” He glances over and quirks a grin – that sly look inviting Obi-Wan in on a joke. “Then he thought it was a smart idea to send the queer kid off to military school. Full of only boys.”

He has many questions, but that’s for later. He has enough context to figure out the important bits. “Was it bad?”

From the distant expression, it wasn’t great. Rex shrugs. “Could’ve been worse. I could’ve been stuck around Dad more.” He shakes his head, and levels an intense look at Obi-Wan. “You got away okay though, right?”

It’s his turn to glance away uncomfortably. “Some of the elders – I swam into them on the way back. They were...not impressed. As you said: it could’ve been worse. Could have been humans.”

Rex’s eyes cut sharply away. Within moments the silence is unbearable. “What are you doing here?” Obi-Wan blurts out. Rex still won’t look at him, but he grins a little.

“A friend of mine is getting married this weekend. I mean, the ceremony was earlier, but they’re partying now. Anakin knows I’m not into parties, so no one will be looking for me. Honestly, the real miracle is that his wife convinced him that a beach wedding would be a good idea. He hates sand. So much.”

Obi-Wan reaches out, placing his hands over Rex’s – over the cut bracelets still in his hands. “Why?” he asks, cutting through the nervous babel.

(He fell in love with this boy, and he was stunned each time Rex returned with the summer. From that bizarre moment in the first summer, when a human had seen him and innocuously asked if Obi-Wan could help him fasten this bracelet, and oh hey, would he like one too?

He had, and he did. They’d cut them at the summer’s end, together, and traded the worn remains with each other.

Well. Not the last one, but he’d cherished it anyways.)

Rex frees one of his hands, reaches out to cup Obi-Wan’s cheek much as he’d done earlier, though there are no scars there to trace. “I didn’t get to say goodbye,” he whispers, searching for something in Obi-Wan’s eyes. “I didn’t want...that to be the end of it.”

It takes all of his courage to ask, “What if I didn’t want it to end?”

Rex’s face blossoms into the beautiful, crooked smile. “Can I kiss you?” he asks, already leaning in close.

It’s habit as old as their friendship: “I don’t know, can you?”

Rex beams and pecks him on the lips. “Signs point to yes.”

“Then you may kiss me.”

Rex leans in and takes his time, sweet and deep and with the kind of fervor Obi-Wan thought he’d imagined. He idly wonders if Rex came supplied with cord to make new bracelets (almost certainly), and how long he’ll be able to stay (with summer almost over, who knows?). Yet he can feel the certainty growing that if neither of them wanted things to end – like that, or otherwise – then they have good odds of making whatever-this-is grow.

Obi-Wan hoists himself up onto the rock, diving back towards Rex for another long, deep kiss. Apparently they do still have time.

I’m actually very interested in your monster au, so if you don’t mind, could you explain some of the lore behind it? And what is everyone anyways? Thanks :)

This is crazy long, so sorry so under the read more it goes, but first…

Thanks for taking an interest (:

HEhe I get to talk about my silly little brain project

First off, I want to say that as of right now the goal is to find a species and place for each member of the Gen 1 Cast with campers from ROTI and RR serving as background characters (sorry if you like PI or TD23, I haven’t seen either) I still have some that still don’t have a place so if anyone has any ideas, lemme know.

Anyway, the main ‘plot’ is a war between the elemental courts, of course sparked by Heather and Alejandro.

The Burromeurtos were a very prestigious and well known family of monster hunters, and yet Alejandro was never as good as his family wanted him to be. And the pressure got to him, leading him to leave his family behind in order to pursue The Ice Queen, Heather. Her court consisting of the Ice Dancers, and two fairies she had taken from the Earth court, Lindsay and Beth. Alejandro manages to convince Lindsay and Beth to help him take Heather to a big, magic volcano. She fights out and manages to escape, but Alejandro ends up plunging into the lava, become reborn as the Fire Elemental/Phoenix hybrid. Ezekiel fishes him out and Alejandro manipulates him as well as Lindsay and Beth to join his side, declaring war on the Ice Kingdom.

Meanwhile, on an island completely run by werewolves, there are also satyrs there, I guess. Cody, who had previously failed in a hunt and mauled by a bear wants to make it up to his herd by fighting the werewolves to expand their hunting grounds. DJ doesn’t want him to. But one of the werewolves, Geoff has met a mermaid, and fallen in love.

There’s more, like the Air Kingdom, graveyard, and Vampire Coven, and I’m sure more will come, but in terms of story, that’s what I have.

GEN 1

Alejandro - Phoenix/Fire Elemental, Formally Human

Beth - Pixie

Bridgette - Mermaid

Cody - Satyr

Courtney - TBD, elf maybe?

DJ - Satyr

Duncan - Lich

Eva - Ghoul

Ezekiel - Goblin

Geoff - Werewolf

Gwen - Vampire

Harold - TBD

Heather - Ice Elemental

Izzy - Mummy/Zombie

Justin - Siren (Aquatic)

Katie - TBD

Leshawna - TBD

Lindsay - Pixie

Noah - Ghost

Owen - Frankenstein’s Monster

Sadie - TBD

Sierra - Human, cryptid enthusiast

Trent - Siren (Aerial)

Tyler - Winged Person (?)

ROTI

Dawn - Earth Elemental

Scott - Shark Mermaid

Mike - Shapeshifter??

Dakota - Dakotazoid

Lightning - TBD; Something Aerial I think

RR

Sisters - Emma is a ghost and Kitty is some sort of zombie maybe (?)

Rockers and Step Brothers - Werewolves

Goths - Vampires

Ice Dancers - Some sort of ice sprite??

Okay not as long as I thought, but still.

Odds are I forgot something, but I am always open to thoughts, questions, and suggestions. Once more, thanks for taking an interest in my silly little AU (:

Beauyasha Mermaid AU: A Rundown

Mermaid AU isn’t usually a thing I think about, but it’s Mermay and in playing around with ideas for which one of them would be the mermaid and which one the human, somehow I wound up with the idea of lake Mermaid Yasha living at the summer camp Beau worked at. I walked it back from there because I didn’t want to actually write Beau with a bunch of kids that weren’t the nein, and the obvious solution seemed to be to make Beau a camper herself instead. Once we were in childhood best friends AU territory and I had decided Yasha would also be a kid, my natural inclination was to ask myself if and how they found each other again as adults.

And then I spent five days glued to my keyboard. Here’s what I came up with, because I’ve enjoyed it and I am fairly proud of how it’s gone.

Part 1: Yasha is brought to Camp Blooming Grove as a child, snatched from imminent destruction by her god. Merfolk have an inherent connection to Melora, but they are not all automatically followers/other gods can choose them. This is Beau’s first summer at the camp, when she and Yasha meet and become fast friends. What if Yasha heard from Kord from a young age as aasimar are typically described?

Part 2: This will be where stuff that isn’t necessarily plot will go, though the vague plot in my head might be mentioned. Essentially a little collection of stories involving kid!nein, with a focus on Beau and Yasha.

Part 3: Beau and Yasha reunite as adults after Beau doesn’t come back to camp one summer or anymore after that. The world is modern with magic, but adults and humans especially are notoriously resistant to magic as a presence. They can travel by teleportation circle and be aware that magic exists, but the ability to tap into and connect with it rolls off of them with enough time away. Yasha is a creature of magic. You might see how that could work out poorly. In other words, what if Beau had decided the best way to survive her parents was to think practically, and by the time she got out she’d lost the part of herself that had known magic/been friends with Yasha? And then she found it again?

Brooklyn as a guppy and a teenager <3

[the-girl-with-the-glass-heart]

I’m nostalgic for camp camp so I wanted to share with you guys an old au idea I had about the wood scouts, David and mermaids:

Deep in the murky blue waters of lake lilac live a species of magical creatures, mermen, definitely not like the story book depictions of course.

Mostly hairless, sharp teeth, Webbed fingers, long scaley tail and a taste for human flesh.

According to local legend the lake lilac mermen are actually former campers, teenage boys who had their heart broken by people and drowned themselves in the lake but instead of dying they were transformed into terrifying creatures.

Mermen rarely feel anything, their broken hearts preventing them from being anything more than killing machines.

They kill their prey by luring them in with their a sickly sweet singing voice that lulls the person into coming near and loving them, it doesn’t matter how grotesque the boys look they will always fall under the spell.

The boys can also turn human at will but it’s a disgusting body horror process that the boys will only go through unless it’s necessary.

There is hope for these killing machines though, just like any broken thing if it’s given proper care it can be fixed and if you find a way to mend a merman’s broken heart then he will be given the chance to be human again.

David was one of those mermen, meeting Gwen when he was still a monster and hopelessly falling in love with her one summer.

He turned human and was able to grow into an adult and put his past behind him, but he did try his best to warn everyone to stay away from the lake and keep water related activities to a minimum.

Neil meanwhile was dealing with his own grief and rejection, Erin rejecting him was getting too much for him to bear and he was struggling really hard.

The wood scouts were practically foaming at the mouth, excited and practically begging for a new brother but then Nikki and Max appeared and comforted him.

Neil felt so much better while the wood scouts were positively enraged, turning themselves human and demanding to David that he hand over Neil now because he belonged with them.

David gets into a huge fight with Pikeman about how David abandoned the people who took him in when he was heart broken and depressed while David yelled about how evil and terrible they are for eating innocent people.

As the Fued between the boys and the camp grows though, snake is drawn to Tabbi and is instantly infatuated with her.

He struggles with his deep fear of ending up like David one day but not being able to deny his feelings.

Meanwhile pikeman is experiencing his own confusing feelings for Sasha but he’s very clearly against them, he loathes them and loathes her, he’s never going to become human and he will never let that happen.

If he has to choose between her and who he is,

he will always be a disgusting monster.

Meanwhile petrol spends most of his time comforting Jermy who’s really going through a lot because he feels like he’s the only one of the guys who’s been affected by how lonely it is in the lake.

He misses his parents and his life before he became a merman, it doesn’t really help that the other scouts are mean to him about his reservations about eating people.

He’s just really struggling and wishes he had the same opportunities snake and pikeman had to turn human and he’s completely confused about pikeman’s desire to stay a merman.

tell us how you met in your fave au!! also i’d love to hear your thoughts on a metsu fantasy au?? HAPPY METSU MONDAY!! ✨💗🍄

thank you my love!!☺️

hmm, though I love the mermaid au, I’ve been dying to talk about the demigod au!!

how we met?

so idk if any of y’all have read the pjo series, but some of the story takes place at camp half-blood, which is basically the camp for demigods, or people who are the sons/daughters of a mortal and a god!

in this au, I am a daughter of Athena, goddess of wisdom. my battle instincts come natural, as well as my quickly developing abilities. a quick thinker and all-around in terms of skill, I can easily maneuver situations with a cool head, and am a master a battle plans.

so, campers sometimes go on quests after gaining fighting experience and certain powers from their parents

after training year after year, I had finally honed my swordsmanship, earning the privilege to venture on a quest with a small group of other campers (if any of y’all wanna join in on this AU 👀), gaining real life experience fighting monsters and gathering knowledge on territories of different beings

along the way, we encountered the hydra, a serpent like monster with nine heads, preventing our passage by boat.

knowing full well that by severing one head, two more would grow in its place, we devised a plan that would allow us to sever the heads, preventing their growth by burning them with torches and attacking all at once

just as we were about to rush the monster, a cry resounded from the sky; figures in all black leapt from from the cliff above, each landing down upon the necks of the scaly demon

with quick precision, each cloaked figure struck off a head, seemingly unaware of the danger they were truly in

with a laugh, one shadow landed himself at the mast of our ship, his smirk visible from beneath the shadow of black that cloaked him.

the first words that left my mouth as he revealed his face were; “Get out of my way, idiot.”

needless to say, the man was stunned as I notched arrow after arrow, each set aflame with blue light, turning the monster to cinders

his first words to me were, “Need some help, Princess?”

and so began our journey of sorts, and our deadly rivalry.

AGG this was so fun!!

Fuck I’ve made a camp camp crossover bubble Guppies au in my head (ok so it was 4 in the morning when I was trying to go to sleep, I know always a good start, and I just thought to myself ‘what was that show I used to really lik- OH yeah bubble Guppies hA’ and then I just thought “how old are those kids, maybe there 10’ which there not, but like this au isn’t cannon so I guess they are know, I just want them to be the same age, then the magical thought ‘what if the Campbell campers magically went to bubble Guppies’ so on. They magically turn into merman and mermaids, well you know QM would be all fish butttt,

They’d probably pass out and apparent in the school, Max would be like “what the fuck” every bubble Guppie kid would gasp

Neil would just go on about how this isn’t scientifically possible

David would get along with everyone because he’s David

Gwen would be like “great more little shits”

Nikki would be chaotic and love it

Max would love bubble puppy

Everyone would love Harrison‘s magic

They’d all go in Neris LARPING and Prestons shows

QM would be QM and probably fuck another fish

Ext.

And maybe they’d Eventually get to leave

First things first; Partners. You can choose who you would like to parner with, if you have somone in mind please report that to your tent leader and they will let the admins. If you dont have anyone, dont fear, let your tent leader know and you will be paired based off your triggers (let your leader know that too!). If you have anything to add to that let your tent leader know! When you let your Leader know that you want to roleplay you can tell them what propts you do not want to do and a list of ones you do want to do, the promts are as follows:

NONE of this has to be romantic at alll! Stay in your comfort zone and have fun. No one cares about your style or your spelling right now! Its all about the fun! Just make fun stories and dont worry about making an ending. By the end of this if you are comfotable with it, you can publish your stories through either a compiled AO3 collection, screenshots, or a google doc.

We only ask three things

A) Do not offend your rp partner on porpous! Be kind and nice to others

3) three prompts you do want to do! Not everyone can have the same one, we dont want to many repeats

4) Anything you're triggered by! We dont want to make anyone creeeped put

5) Your roleplay prefs and styles. I will try to keep people all lined up and with others that they are okay with. I dont want anyone feeling like they got a partner they dont mesh with. If you have never roleplay let us know! thats okay and you can still participate! If you have roleplayed with a lot of people,youre advanced lit and short hand styles bother you we dont want you to be with someone who is prone to those things.

6) If there are any Tents that you would prefer not to roleplay with or if there are members you would not like to based off of tentwars antics!

i remember a couple months ago you said you had a summer camp au for voltron and i was wondering if you could share some more about it because!! it sounds like so much fun! ✨

OH ABSOLUTELY….. ive had this au sitting around since early 2017 thank u so much for showing interest & motivating me to actually post smth for it!! 💌✨

- the paladins are all campers save for shiro who’s a counselor and coran who runs the camp!!- the paladins are all in one cabin group, rebels (matt, nyma, rolo, etc) in another, plaxum and the other mermaids in another, and so on- in the paladin group lance hunk and keith share a cabin and pidge allura shay and romelle share another - plaxum, nyma and lance always hung by the pool their first few years and later on fill in the “lifeguard” position (they just sit in the big chair, hand campers that cant swim waterwings and blow the whistle whenever lotor opens his mouth. coran loves them)- allura, pretending she cant swim: help im drowning!!! - lance, allura’s wingman: NYMA SHES DYING!!!- nyma, jumping into the pool fully clothed: - nyma has been in love with allura ever since they met at camp a few years back and she gushes about her to lance and plaxum ALL THE TIME during their lifeguard duties - nyma: shes just so ethereally beautiful and honest and kind and i wish i could tell her how i feel but i know she’d never feel the same i just like her so much when we stargaze at night my eyes never leave her face and i-- lance: wait wait wait, you stargaze together?- nyma: oh, yeah. sometimes we’ll hold hands and place flowers in each others hair, she kissed my cheek once and i almost poured my heart out to her but then she put her head on my shoulder and i froze up!! - lance: i-- nyma: thanks lance but i’m not gonna take your advice, you haven’t really gotten anywhere with chlorine boy and it’s been what. 3 years? i appreciate it though!- lance:- coran prepared the food the first night and hunk took one bite before gagging and dragging the rest of the paladin crew into the kitchen with him to help remake the meal (keith and lance, unsupervised, got kicked out after putting a hotpocket in the microwave for 10 minutes and blowing it up and pidge got sent out for trying to grab a bag of flower off a high shelf and spilling it all over herself. through natural selection shiro allura and hunk are now corans sous chefs) - keith developed a crush on lance really early on but couldn’t muster up the courage to tell him so he would just stare a lot across the mess hall and lance made eye contact once and took it as a staring contest and when he lost and keith KEPT staring he stood up on the table declared a rivalry right then and there and threatened to pour chlorine into keiths eyes - keith avoided the pool for a good three years of being at that camp because of that- lance apologizes a few years later and confesses that keith’s eyes are too pretty to ever pour chlorine into. keith confesses that he’s never worn goggles in his life. lance screams- they sneak out to the pool that night and end the evening with a kiss under the stars (under the water too- their hearts are filled with love and their lungs are filled will pool water)- hunk and shay are dating and will sometimes sneak out at night to go on canoe rides where hunk plays the ukulele and shay sings along - lance hears them one night and flashes out of his body back to his 5th grade camp rock phase- lotor goes to camp for one year and never comes back. ever. bitch- allura: hey lotor come jump in the pool- lotor: do you have ANY idea what the chlorine could do to my hair??!!?!?- allura: oh i know! thats why im saying jump in - in their first year at camp keith and pidge would go out into the woods at night to look for bigfoot but stopped after they found hunk and lance larping warrior cats - they stopped because they joined. “campclan” gained two new members- shiro’s the counselor assigned to the paladin group which. don’t get keith wrong he loves his brother but you go to summer camp to get AWAY from your siblings - shiro: so.. you and lance holding hands during movie night, huh?- keith: im going to float your mattress out into the lake while you sleep- shiro thinking about all the times he’s slept outside the counselor cabin to hold himself back from strangling slav: really? you’d do that for me? - the paladins + shiro all have matching friendship bracelets that they made together one year and haven’t taken off since (they all have awful matching tan lines because of it too) - whenever any of them miss their homes and families they organize a cabin group slumber party where they all hang out, listen to music, use all of lance’s skincare products and talk about whats on their minds- theres a campfire the last night of camp where everyone shares stories from years prior and makes s’mores!! nyma and allura are sharing a blanket and feeding each other s’mores while keith and lance are chasing each other with flaming marshmallows. shiro’s close behind with a fire extinguisher - after the campfire the paladin crew heads over to the lakeshore where there’s a clear view of the stars- they lay out a blanket, some assorted snacks (including properly made hot pockets), and soak up the atmosphere and presence of the family they’ve found in each other and stargaze and talk until the “camp rock 1 & 2” playlist fades out and they retire back to their cabins - shiro wakes up the next morning floating on his mattress out in the lake
