AU Idea 29#

Imagine an AU where Person 1 of OTP is a Fairy Godparent whose Godchild, after their supposed Happy Ending, is kidnapped and taken away. Their Prince/Princess won’t save them, so Person 1 goes out to save the day. Along the way, they meet a variety of characters, including an useless gaurd, tavern maid and a various other so-called fantasy extras. Person 2 included in these characters, and Person 1 falls in love with them. When they find Person 1′s Godchild, the Godchild was actually in love with/best friends with the villain and they two wanted to be together in first place.

AU Idea #28

Imagine an AU where Person 1 of OTP is transported to another world where all holidays are personified by different countries. Christmas is controlling the North, but has been poisoned and twisted, resulting in a horrible dictatorship of Santa Claus. Person 1 is saved by the rebellion, and meets the leader of it, Person 2, the King of Halloween. 

(Change any of the holidays around! Easter controls the world, and King of Thanksgiving fight backs! Possibilities are endless!)

AU Idea #27

Imagine an AU where Person 1 of OTP is a very unprepared traveller from the future and is going back in time to see what history was like. When they are in a metro/subway station, they realize they are on the wrong side. They cross the tracks, as in their world, the train cannot hit you (you pick a reason). Person 2 realizes they are about to be hit by a train and pulls them out of the way. Person 1, terrified, accidentally transports themselves to another time.

AU Idea #26

Imagine an AU where Person 1 of your OTP is a wizard for a far-off kingdom. A friend tells them to go on vacation. Person 2 is a down-on-their-luck pirate with a group of misfits. Person 1, walking through a market place, gets held hostage by Person 2 (who is running from some guards). Person 1 gets taken on a ship by Person 2. They go on an adventure without Person 1 revealing who they were. When it gets too dangerous, Person 1 saves the day and goes home after a nice vacation. Of course, Person 2 is not going to let them go so easily.

They make odd noises, laughing and talking oddly with no one there, and barely eat any food. Person 3 is super confused and bothered by them. Person 3 goes into the booth the first time to see that Person 1 is deaf and Person 3 is overseas and they are signing over Skype.

AU Idea #24

Imagine an AU where Person 1 of your OTP gets their flight delayed nine hours, then cancelled, and then the next day they get their flight cancelled again, and then put on a third flight where magically they have no seat, only to be put on fourth flight that is several hours longer than they thought. Hey, at least they got there. Except someone has lost their baggage and it was delivered to Person 2, who doesn’t check to see if it is theirs. Person 1 is so simply done they track Person 2 down and GET THIER STUFF BACK!

AU Idea #21

Imagine a dark/sad AU where two characters are both the only passengers on a flight. They start to talk and talk. Slowly they start to realize that something is wrong as there are no other passengers and no services, and they don’t remember where they are going or where they come from. Then they slowly realize that they did go on a plane, but it crashed. Now they have a choice: stay in he plane, get off and into the afterworld, or take control of the plane and start chaos across the world.

AU Idea #20

Imagine an AU where Person 1 of your OTP has the ability to know anyone’s secrets/future when they touch them. This becomes a problem as they travel a lot for their job, and thus touch a lot of people in crowds. Person 2 is a famous but fake medium. Person 1 and 2 collide in an airport, and because Person 2 has so many secrets, Person 1 uncontrollably starts to tell them things that no one should ever know. Then Person 1 runs away and gets on a flight, and Person 2 makes it their life mission to find them.
