Stock AU Masterpost

listen i adore aus, but any time i go looking for prompts, they’re all like, weirdly specific run on sentences of highly specific scenarios i don’t want specific, i want broad strokes that gives an Aesthetic that lends itself more to designing the characters in a brand new world

So! I kind of figured maybe other people were the same so here’s a master post of broad strokes Stock AU ideas.  I tried to keep them as BROAD as possible, and several show up under several categories since there are different interpretations (ex: a modern day royalty au is much different from a fantasy royalty au).  Not every possible incarnation of an AU is represented, i tried to keep them to the most popular ones where i could.

if you have ones i missed, please feel free to reblog and add them, or message me and i’ll edit the og post.  I would prefer, tho, to keep this particular post SFW, as I want it to be accessible for everyone, so pls keep any NSFW AUs on separate posts.
