this is just a collection of aus I’ve texted @loeyxiu in the past couple of days so i can have them all in one place lol
car crash au: taem gets in a wreck and has subsequent nightmares in which his partners junghee and jinki are in the passenger seat when it happens
magic au: taemin is a phoenix, minjung and gwi are nonbinary witch girled friends, jonghyun is a non-magic human who owns a bookstore and jinki is his partner who sells crystals and herbs and charm pouches and the like. they’re all in a giant poly relationship by the end of it tbh
pornstar au: lol it’s not as secsi as it sounds there’s like close to zero explicit smut but basically taem and minho are pornstars who get paired for a scene where taem bottoms and he’s like “uh, no actually” when he sees minho because “that’s the twink I topped two weeks ago from a club y’all should have him bottom it’s litty” and then they go out for coffee afterwards and become friends. minho meets taem’s boyfriends (jongyu) and taem meets minho’s qpp (key) and they all end up cute friends.
important high school au #1: jjong is dyslexic and taem has aphasia so when there’s assigned reading in class, minho reads out loud to them and jinki teaches them all sign language to be able to understand taem when he’s overstimulated
important high school au #2: one of my most important aus yet where taem/taehyun is the new nanogirl on the baseball team, minho is a trans guy and also team captain, gwi and jonghyun are cheerleaders, and jinki is student president and they’re all best friends/life partners
pawn shop au: i literally saw two seconds of a pawn stars ep. when i was pulling sheets in the hotel i work at and the dialogue made me think of jongtae so
taem: “if I give you seven-thousand for these I won’t be able to eat dinner. what about $6500?”
jjong: “you’re gonna have a $500 dinner? i don’t think so. $6700.”
psych ward au: jjong and taem end up in a psych ward at the same time bc of their depression/anxiety (in taem’s case: a depressive spiral brought on by like seventy different phobias and an increasing lack of control in his personal life), and they recognize each other from school during group and they’re like “same hat? same hat!”
voltron au lmfao: listen, i might never even write this one so somebody take it off my hands I’ll promo you but,,, Black Paladin Jinki, Red Paladin Minjung, Blue Paladin Taemin, Green Paladin Gwi, Yellow Paladin Jonghyun, and Princess Amber who’s a beautiful butch bi Altean with a gigantic crush on trans lesbian Choi Minjung.... also Heechul is Coran thanks for coming to my ted talk
university au: in which taemin is literally me and can’t fill out legal documents without getting massively anxious & sick to his stomach so he has to get jinki and jjong walk him through filling out his fafsa verification and other such documents
