March Prompt: Modern AUs
A Modern AU is a fanwork which moves characters from a historical (or pseudo-historical) fandom into a modern setting.
What profession would your favourite character have if they were born in the modern era?

March Prompt: Time Travel AUs
Time travel is a classic science fiction subgenre that involves characters experiencing any disruption of the normal flow of time. The disruption can be real or perceived, as characters who are held in stasis without ageing only to reawaken and find themselves "in the future" are just as likely to fall under the wide umbrella of this trope as characters who are transported instantaneously. Time travel can occur forwards, backwards, or in a loop.
Who are you sending back in time to try and fix what’s been broken?
Is it intentional or accidental?
Are they trapped in a time loop by a jutsu?
Or is someone travelling forward and seeing what has already occurred?
Or any scenario that you want to create that incorporates the idea of a Time Travel AU! You decide!

Or any other AU that you want to create that incorporates the idea of a Crime AU! You decide!
April Prompt: Soulmate AUs
Soulmates are people who are fated to be together, usually romantically, sometimes through multiple lives and/or into the afterlife.
Does the red string of fate tie their hands?
Is their world black and white until they find their soulmate?
Are they wondering how the words imprinted on their skin could possibly be their soulmates’ first words to them?
Are they able to find their soulmate every time they're separated by death? Or are they being kept apart?
Or are they denying their soulmates’ presence for as long as they can?

July Prompt: Historical AUs
A Historical AU is a fanwork that moves characters into a different historical period from their canon setting. Typically this involves taking "contemporary" characters (from the late 20th Century or 21st Century) and putting them in an earlier historical period (such as the 19th Century or before). It can also refer to setting characters from a historical fandom such as Jane Austen in a different period, such as the First World War.
Perhaps they set sail in a Pirate AU.
Are they attending balls and battling society's norms in a Jane Austin AU?
Are they learning how to wield a blade in a Samurai AU?
