Red, White & Royal AU

Welcome to the Red, White and Royal AU challenge!

This challenge will run throughout 2026, with each month assigned a different alternate universe theme.

How it works

A month prior, the next month’s theme will be posted. You’ll then have about two months to create your work. The posting window is the last two weeks of each month. For example:

March theme reveal: Sunday 1st February March posting window: Sunday 15th March - Saturday 28th March

All fanworks are welcome: fanfic, fanart, podfic, gifsets, edits, moodboards, playlists, videos, etc! All RWRB characters and pairings are welcome, too.

What next?

Look out for our January theme reveal, coming in early December! In the meantime, here's a hint: ☕️🥐

Just over a week till June’s posting window starts!

Get ready! June’s theme is...

Roommates & Neighbours 🏠🪴

Does the RWRB fandom really need more roommates AUs? If your answer is "No", you're calling at the wrong house - try two doors down. Prepare for awkward elevator encounters, morning coffee with a sprinkle of cinnamon, or shared showers to save on the water bill.
