I am back, anyway here is my BF AU that just came to me in my daydreams
It is a High school AU (how original:)) but a little bit different. This time Ash and Yut-lung start out as childhood friends because they have the same tutor (Blanca) because they are of course too smart for middle school.
In this Yut-lung is a trans girl who was actually adopted by Dawson because he was rescued from his psychotic family through an FBI bust but that happened shortly after his mother died and he doesn't remember or know too much about his original family. Her personality is pretty rebellious and is known as a mean girl because she snaps easily and has love to point out the people's flaws and use them against them but she actually has a good heart. She does occasionally do drugs and likes to party (living that brat life) while enjoying feeling smarter than the average person.
Ash was a quiet and shy kid but as a teenager everyone finds him cool because of his style and laid back attitude. He spends most of his time in the library and has a love hate relationship with the librarian. Yut-lung constantly calls him a hipster or a Kurt Cobain wanna be but in a bff way and yes he listens to old rock bands and Nirvana. Once Griffin turned 18 he fought to have Ash's custody and leave his abusive family behind. They are broke and the only reason Blanca tutors Ash is because he owes Griffin. Max is Griffin's buddy from childhood and helps them out from time to time. His toxic trait is hanging around gangs trying to be the Avatar
Eiji is a transfer student from Japan and amateur photographer that carries his main camera and Polaroid everywhere he can and of course he is an athlete that many thirst over. Yut-lung thinks he gives off Ed Sheeran energy. There is a small rivalry between them and their personalities clash pretty often but they still stay friends because the friction is what's keeping them close. His personality is friendly and helpful but gets annoyed easily and can put a hoe in place. He also listens to old bands and that's the thing that brought him close to Ash in the first place. After about a year of knowing each other they become a couple.
Shorter, well if you watched Euphoria he is basically Fez in this scenario. He is a chill cool dude who sells low risk drugs and "adopted" Skip from the streets. One day Ash randomly saves his ass from a rival gang and they become friends. He almost dropped out of high school but Ash didn't let that happen and helped study. Even Yut-lung helped him and they a short fling but Yut-lung found him to be too goofy and the mohawk was the last straw for her. They are still friends tho. He is a big fan of Dupstep even when people forgot about it.
Sing is one year younger than the group and at the start tries too hard to be like Shorter until Yut-lung calls him out and then starts to find himself. He became part of the group through Shorter because they are neighbors and spent a lot of time together in their childhood too. Despite initially being intimidated by Ash and Yut-lung, he sees how laid back Ash is and that he takes him seriously. When it comes to Yut-lung he enjoys teasing her while trying to hide his crush on her. He listens to old school hip hop and backstreet boys. He lives with Lao and their alcoholic mother who pretty much sleeps all day. He is pretty nerdy despite not showing it.
Cain joins the friend group at some point and he is punk.
I made Ash and Yut-lung bffs because I think that they are very similar in background and in thinking.
Part of the plot is Yut-lung discovering and remembering what happened to his original family.
The other part is mob boss Dino who targets the group and wants to traffic them. How does he know about them? Wellll the group has a run in with the group because they broke in one of his "abandoned" mansions where he keeps his weapon arsenal and they set off the alarm. He stalks them constantly and tries to break them one by one in order for them to join him and be exploited in various ways.
Everything happens in this current irl timeline, yes they are gen z
So basically this is the AU, hopefully it's as interesting to you as it is to me. I have other AU's in my head too, mostly about Yut-lung cuz they are my favorite.
If someone wants to use this as a prompt to write a fanfic by any means please do✨
