Outside Xbox (Youtube RPF)
Characters/Pairings: Andy Farrant & Ellen Rose & Jane Douglas & Luke Westaway & Mike Channell

AUs:
Cryptid Hunters | Canon is 100x more gothic and foreboding | Pokemon Trainer AU | Dragons in Space | Space AU | Space Privateers AU | Space Pirates AU | Space Florist AU | Space Opera AU | Space Opera Singer AU | Western AU | Leverage AU | Ghost Hunters | Ghostbusters Fusion | Urban Fantasy AU

All the Oxbox banter and friendship makes me grin like a fool. I like all the aspects of it :) Make it hilarious, make it sweet, make it angsty, make it a character piece, or a world building event, make it gen or shippy or hints of either. I'm thrilled with all of it.

The more "supernatural" of the prompts (cryptids, gothiness, ghosts, urban fantasy) bring to mind Ellen & Andy reacting to anything spooky.

Pokemon Trainer AU was obviously meant for these guys. Who picks which starter? Are their rivals in the group? Gym leaders? Do they travel like Ash and his friends in a big group? Who catches 'em all first? Or is Team Oxbox the new Team Rocket?

And of course, all 5 person teams need a Leverage AU.

Then I added all the Space AUs. Because in space, Jane rules all.

Les Miserables - Schönberg/Boublil
Characters/Pairings: Combeferre/Enjolras/Grantaire | Cosette Fauchelevent/Éponine Thénardier | Enjolras/Grantaire | Les Amis de l'ABC

AUs: 1920s Archaeology AU | Gothic Romance AU | Canon is 100x more gothic and foreboding | Classical Musicians AU | Starfleet Academy AU | Creepy/Dark Circus | Circus | One Is A Librarian And The Other Is A Ghost And Together They Fight Crime AU | Carrying the One Ring to Mount Doom | Ghostbusters Fusion | Ghost Hunters | Canon is now a D&D tie-in novel/campaign | Urban Fantasy AU | Mermaids AU | Rival Pizzeria Owners AU | Pokemon Trainer AU

Obviously, this is already a heavily AU'd canon, but who cares, no big deal, I want more.

I'm working my way through the book right now, but of course, the musical is my best gal (your fault, Ramin). Threesomes/triads/poly everything, also just Les Amis. I like it all.

I've included requests for a lot of change-the-setting AUs, which I love. If the AU doesn't strongly dictate a time period (heck, even if it does but you have a killer idea), feel free to go canon era or modern day (or ~the future~). I threw in some fusions too, because if there's one thing I love, it's 2 things I love.

Just show me the characters fitting into their new setting/new theme and I'll be happy.

Dragon Age (Video Games)

Characters/Pairings: Dorian Pavus | DA2 ensemble | Varric Tethras | Carver Hawke/Bethany Hawke | Female Hawke | Female Warden | Female Inquisitor | Alistair/Morrigan | Cole | Female Hawke & Varric Tethras | Female Adaar/Josephine Montilyet | Female Adaar/Female Cadash/Female Lavellan

AUs: Alice in Wonderland AU | Cryptid Hunters | Starfleet Academy AU | Royalty AU | Coffeeshop AU | Leverage AU | Firefly AU | Figure Skating AU | Space AU | Dragons in Space | Pokemon Trainer AU | Arranged Marriage AU | Hogwarts AU | Ghostbusters Fusion

Just go fuckin' nuts. These characters, esp. the way I play them (full a deep wells of pain they cover up with snaaaaark) are up for anything and ready to be bashed around in whatever fusion/setting change/combo of multiple AUs/fusions/setting changes you see fit. Feel free to mix and match however you want, and I totally don't mind if you sneak some shippy-ness to your liking in either.

For player characters, I don't have a ton of preferences. I like my Hawke default, very purple, and called Marian. I played my Adaar very forthright and honest (and a dude, tbh, but that doesn't matter), my Cadash is a sneaky lil bitch (and I love her), and my Lavellan somewhere between the two. Names and looks don't matter too much to me at all. You do you <3
