MJler Timeline Masterlist!
I realize half of the reason I don't talk about my Onceler selfship more on here is because there's SO many alternate timelines and it would probably be incredibly confusing for any newcomers, so I've decided to make a list summarizing each of them! So letsa go! (🌳🌈) Good Ending AU "How Good Can I Be"
The timeline where MJK goes "I can fix him" and actually succeeds! MJ is Onceler's first customer and they hit it off because of their shared love of art and music. They live together in a cottage in the forest and MJK encourages Onceler to run his small business sustainably! It's not all sunshines and rainbows of course, as the both of them still have a lifetime of familial trauma to work through... but at least they can do it together. Slice of life-y, low-stakes, the most palatable of the AU's. + Honorable mention to the bonus AU that branches from the good ending AU, where everything is essentially the same but my other two sonas, MJ and Midge, are also a part of the story and by extension become MJK and Onceler's adopted kids lol. (🏡💭) "The Harder They Fall"
This time MJK goes "I can fix him" and the results are a lot more complicated. The two grew up in the same hometown and moved to Greenville together to try to make his dreams come true. The story follows the canon timeline very closely, with MJ by his side through the entire rise and fall of his business, which leads to... a lot of angst! This is the one I wanna attempt to make a full fic of one day... wish me luck. (🪓♻️) Enemies to Lovers
Exactly what it says on the tin. Onceler is a greedy businessman, MJK is a staunch environmentalist. The two meet because of a protest MJ and their group organizes outside of Thneeds Inc., and he thinks their efforts are Cute. And them too, but he won't admit that til later. Somehow they end up kissing. Idk man I'm just the writer. (👔💰) Rich Power Couple
MJK and Onceler were friends in their late teens/early adulthoods, but promptly lost touch once their careers took off in different directions (Onceler becoming a CEO, of course, and MJ being a famous musician). Years into their careers, the two meet again on the set of a collaborative commercial, and, after a picture of the two embracing goes viral, they start dating, y'know, "for the press". They're both a similar degree of out of touch, being rich and all, and the dating is somewhat an act until they realize there's more to the other than meets the eye, especially upon realization that no matter where they go, their respective PR teams, and most notably, their mom-agers are always looming over their shoulders... (🎨🧶) Swap AU
Self explanatory! MJK is the CEO of their own still-yet-to-be-named art supplies company that uses the tufts of the truffula trees to make their unique bright pigments. Onceler works in Greenville as a tailor and also runs a small Etsy shop with his own sustainably-made knitwear. (📊💢) Business Rivals to Lovers
AU where BOTH Thneeds Inc. and MJK's art supplies company exist at once. Shenanigans ensue. The two constantly squabble over resources, and because neither of them are mature enough to be in charge of a major corporation in the first place, they plot to sabotage each other in increasingly cartoonish ways, leading up to an eventual dramatic televised court case. It's just a Big Time Rush episode and I love it. Aaand that's all there is so far! I'll update this list if I ever come up with new ones but for now these are what's been floating around my mind the past Forever. Expect more posts about these idiots and their various misadventures soon!
