Snowflake Challenge 3 and 4

Challenge #3: 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.

Mostly I read canon divergence or canon adjacent fic, but I went through my AO3 bookmarks for inspiration. I do love reading different first meeting of the OTP/meeting prior to canon AUs for all of my fandoms. Also, role reversal fic! I love the opportunities for character study in these types of fics. Maybe these are really just more specific canon divergence AUs?

I think certain canons lend themselves to particular types of alternate universes, which is why I tend to like them more.

For example, I really like Politics AUs for Generation Kill fandom (probably because you get to know some of the characters' political views during the show), and Sci-Fi fusions with space battles or space marines. I can see the characters being warriors in any time/place.

For Merlin fandom, I love modern royalty AUs. I don't really read those much for other fandoms?

For Buzzfeed Unsolved/Watcher, I read and enjoy a much wider range of AUs. The guys have talked about so many random topics, the sky is sort of the limit. Serial killer or demon/magic AUs or gangster AUs are amazing. I read a Dirty dancing AU that was SO good! I like historical fics that show the guys as the historical equivalent of social media stars. Sports AUs would be fun. There's a ton of options.

My favorite fandom to fuse with is Supernatural. Probably because I like the aesthetic and the opportunity to borrow from canon lore. Greek mythology fusions are also super fun to read/write.

Challenge #4: In your own space, make a list of things that you wish existed in fandom or elsewhere, and/or that you'd like someone to create or do for you.

I love icons and I'm not good at making them myself. And now that I have a paid account, I can have even more icons! Icons with speech bubbles, minimalist icons, icons with vivid colors, icons with stock images - they're all great. I'm excited for Peaky Blinders s6, so I'm requesting any icons with Tommy, Ada, Esme, Polly, or all of the Peaky men or Peaky ladies. Or from the s6 trailer?

Also requesting icons with any images or quotes from the last season of Buzzfeed Unsolved: Supernatural. And Johnny/Daniel from Cobra Kai s4.
