Fandom: Favorite Alternate Universes, Fusions, and Tropes

[escritoireazul]

I'm not doing very well; September is a rough money in my family, and I've been struggling with the bipolar all year anyway. However, Trick or Treat sign-ups start soon, and I can't wait. I'm working out what I want to request and what prompts I want to leave for them, which made me think I'd love to hear from y'all about things you like in stories.

In particular, I'd love to know your favorite alternate universes, fusions, and tropes.

Some of mine, to start us off: werewolf AUs, monster hunting AUs, enemies to friends (to lovers), friends to lovers, IN SPACE AUs, Everyone is a Slayer Now BTVS fusions.

What are yours?

I love IN SPACE AUs myself and don't see them anywhere near enough; the ways they can affect a canon are wide and varied and so, so full of potential. Not even written for them myself but I have to change that.

Werewolf and vampire AUs are both fun and a chance to explore the more primal, passionate parts of human nature (along with that dark edge both possess).

Andddd then there's the super indulgant things like huddling for warmth, snowed in and similar cosy settings for fluff. I do enjoy soulmate AUs as well but mostly where there's an element of choice in it.
