some au thoughts...

during their respective seasons they do a few things to stay close: goodreads reading challenges (sometimes they read the same books and then talk about them over FaceTime), quinn visits if hes in a city nearby dallas (obviously when hes playing the dallas stars yn will go and watch him play).

quinn is in contact with alll the local flower shops and has flowers delivered to yn after every game day (the dcc have 8 in their game day, and he always wants her to feel seen and appreciated among the stress of her daily life)

when they were in school (yn was taking nursing), she used to use quinn for all he video practicals. theres literally soo many videos of quinn in yn's camera roll where shes laying him down and pretending to take his vitals, etc. and hes a terrible actor (as we all know) so she looks back and laughs at the vids all the time

quinn has a signed cameo from yn framed in his apartment and everyone thinks shes his crush thats out of his league until they meet her

Hey girl love your work. Can you give me tips on writing and creating social media au

thank you!💕

use tweetgen (search on google) to make the tweets, and u can google “instagram page generator” to make fake insta accs !

as for tips, make sure you’re media posts are correlated to the main story (i.e, fans reacting to the main characters doing something, or even fan pages dedicated to updates, etc). you can advance a story a lot through little tweets, etc.

if you already have these social media’s u can look for inspiration for what to write on the apps ! for example, sometimes i’ll scroll through insta to help with captions if my au main character is similar to the real persons vibe …

but definitely have fun with it ! media aus are a lot of fun because of visuals so play around with aesthetics, colours, and texts and make it your own <3

[luvhughes43]

anybody have any love and cheers au thoughts ?✨

[luvhughes43]

it would be cool if she was an athletic trainer or physio so it’d kinda related to hockey and that’s how they stay connected sorta, maybe she works with the devils or something idk

she has to live in dallas texas full time for cheering so she unfortunately wouldnt be able to work with the devs !

athletic trainer could be fun tho! someone said theyre feeling reader as a nurse ? def something medical (maybe ill do a poll or something? idk)

[luvhughes43]

are you planning to update the journalist!au 🙂‍↕️

tomorrow <3

[luvhughes43]

what should miss dcc do for her full time job? nurse, teacher, some type of office job maybe?

[luvhughes43]

quinn being peak dance boyfriend during the dcc christmas shows... hes scrubbing yns boots while shes at breakfast, doing her meal prepping so she has time to eat in-between practices, and hes front row at all her christmas shows filming (he loves the light up costume its so crazy)

[luvhughes43]

{love and cheers au!} - dcc!reader x quinn hughes

making the team [part one]:

──.☆ quinn films your audition videos for round one and he is HYPING you up in between filming. the boys got steady hands, so not only does his videos come out perfect, but he recorded everything so now you has a bunch of little clips on you phone of quinn cheering you on behind the camera !

"ouu that was a good one, baby", "atta girl! do you wanna run the dance one more time?", "thats the winner right there, babe",

──.☆ you go to the gym together every day while waiting for the final results of your online audition. you'd been in training camp once before when you were 18 (but sadly got cut) so you know the drill but you still want to make sure your prepared for finals !! quinn helps spot you when you weight train, and hes always super encouraging.

──.☆ youre in your childhood bedroom when you find out that you'd made it to finals, the one thats only a 15 minute drive away from the hughes lake house. you wanted to find out by yourself, and so when you opened the dcc portal to see "CONGRATULATIONS!" you immediately burst into tears and after telling your parents youre in your car and driving to him.

making the team [dallas]:

──.☆ he helps you pack your suitcases for dallas like you helped him pack for vancouver two years ago. its bittersweet, and quinns not that much help considering he sucks at folding clothes... but you have a good time sitting in your childhood bedroom while you pack the essentials for finals and hopefully training camp.

──.☆ quinn manages to convince your parents to let him be the one to drive you to the airport to catch your flight to dallas, and so after some uplifting goodbyes, its just the two of you in the car to the airport.

"youre quiet today, is everything okay?" you ask as quinn takes one hand off the wheel and interlaces his fingers with yours. "just thinking," he hums back, eyes steady on the road until you squeeze his hand three times. he glances at you before sighing. "just gonna miss you is all," "you never know, i might not even make it to training camp again," "you will," quinn says seriously. "youre the hardest worker i know, you've got this," its silent for awhile before he continues with a soft, "i love you."

──.☆ at the airport quinn helps sort out your flight details even though you've flown numerous times before (which u suspect is a way for him to delay the inevitable... driving back home alone). he helps checking you in at the front desk and pays for your suitcase when it checks in as overweight, and lingers in his goodbyes. he hugs you extra tight, kisses the top of your hand, and tells you he loves you before you have to walk through security.

making the team [finals]:

──.☆ you had spent the past three months perfecting your solo. your routine started off slow, before the beat kicked up and you hit the iconic dcc style with strength and power in you movements.

──.☆ your field audition went even better, having lots of on field dance experience from your years at umich. you introduced yourself to the judges over the loud speakers, yn ln, 21, from michigan.

──.☆ you had gotten to know the other girls during the wait for the judges to deliberate on who was going to make it into training camp, and you crossed your fingers the entire time you sat in the bleachers waiting for your name and number to be called onto the field.

──.☆ when youre called onto the field time stops - its a familiar feeling that you were desperate to feel again after your first time in training camp. you practically run onto the field, hugging a group of your fellow rookie candidates. when you get back to your hotel the first thing you do is call quinn and tell him the news... it was 1am his time, but he answered on the first ring and he was absolutely beaming for you when you told him the news!

making the team [training camp]:

──.☆ training camp was difficult for your relationship. you were busy during the day running through your dances, practicing relentlessly, and making new friends with (hopefully), your new teammates. meanwhile, quinn was at home in michigan since it was the off season... taking things slow and spending the days under the hot michigan sun with his family in friends.

it was difficult to schedule calls. after you got out of practice it was late and he was hanging out with a new group of his friends that were passing through town and staying at the lake house. you'd run through your dances when u did manage to find the time to call, and you were beyond stressed worrying about your technique, high kicks, and remembering all of the routines that your calls were more stressful than they shouldve been.

──.☆ you had been called into the office once and had a serious discussion about your noticeable anxiety during practices. kelli reads over the judges comments, overwhelmingly positive, and tells you that you needed to work on making yourself look more at ease when doing the choreo. after the office visit your training got more intense, leading to less calls home and more time in the hotel ballroom rewatching practice videos and trying to calm your nerves down before practices.

making the team [team announcement]:

──.☆ the coaches bring you and the remaining 36 girls into the rehearsal room after the last round of cuts the night before. one of the vets on the team, a girl you initially auditioned with 4 years ago, holds onto your arm while another one of your rookie friends grips your hand as charlotte jones say the words that change your life: "congratulations! you guys are the 2021-2022 squad!"

──.☆ immediate tears. your handed your uniform by kelli and once you and the girls run into the locker room for pictures you FaceTime quinn with your uniform in hand... YN printed on the hanger.

"i made the team!" you cry out, one hand clutching your uniform to your chest and the other one holding your phone in front of your face. quinn immediately sits up, his face lighting up as he sees how happy you are. "atta girl!" he calls out, "i'm so proud of you!"

meet the team [family day]:

──.☆ quinn flies out with your family for the dcc meet the team event. youre already dressed in your uniform, makeup done to the nines, and hair perfectly curled when your boyfriend and family walk into the locker room. quinn immediately takes it all in as he eyes you in your fresh uniform as well as your name and picture on your locker.

──.☆ your parents take a million photos of the two of you - quinn lifting you up under the knees in the locker room, posing on the football field, and the list goes on. you teach quinn the entrance to thunderstruck on the field as you challenge him to travel a yard in 4 steps.

──.☆ he sits with yours and your teammates families as you perform thunderstruck for the first time with an audience. your positioned in the back row with the rest of the rookies but quinns attention immediately finds you as you strut onto the field in your new lucchese boots.

──.☆ quinn makes one of the pictures of the two of you on the field as his phone background, and he stares at it the whole flight back to michigan without you.

regular season:

──.☆ you move into an apartment in dallas with one of your fellow rookies, immediately becoming best friends as you navigate the world of dcc together. on top of cheering, youre working full-time so your schedule is insanely busy but quinn understands because hes also training and on the road.

──.☆ quinns not able to come to one of your game day performances until late october, when hes on the road in the states and has a free day to watch you at at&t. he sits in the family section, and hes finally starting to get a taste of the wag lifestyle as he meets the boyfriends and husbands of your fellow teammates.

quinn and readers dynamic... theyre long distance so its difficult for them so we need some ways that they make it work
