In your own space, put some favorite characters into an AU, fuse some favorite canons together, talk about your favorite AU/fusion tropes, or tell us why AU/fusions aren’t your cup of tea. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
AUs are a weird thing for me. I don't mind reading them at all but I struggle to write them, except RPF AUs for some reason. One of my favourite fics that I've ever written was a Supernatural RPF AU. I think maybe because the 'characters' are real people it's easier to put them in other roles like they're actors. I don't know.
Now I'm trying to think what a Lost Tomb AU might look like. There aren't a huge number of them in our fandom. Probably because you can use 'tomb nonsense' to explain away a lot of things. We have a large number of animal transformation fics for that very reason.
As I mentioned yesterday in my 2021 Fic Review post I did write one AU last year for an exchange, but it was a soulmark AU so really everything was pretty much the same except the characters had tattoos on their wrists with the first words their soulmate said to them.
I think if I was going to go for something fully AU I'm quite fond of 'one of them is famous and one of them isn't' so maybe something like Zhang Qiling is an idol and IDK he saves Wu Xie from a mugging but Wu Xie has no idea who he is. He's an architect and Pangzi runs a construction company.
Damn, now I want to write this.
