29 hand me your AUs
HOLDS MY HEAD* I HAVE A LOT OF AUS... and they're posted in different places too!
but first, my all time favorite kind of au (answering the number 29 question of fave au) are role reversal aus!!! i usually read about them in the other fandoms but i've seen a few art in ina11 about it and they're really great!!! i think that's the au that gets to me so much as it shows how easily can someone change because of their environment and it's a really good way of showing how one really knows a character.
But now, I'm handing you my AUs!! Starting with my top 3 fave!
1. Magical Girls AU
this one is more accurately called the PPGZ AU that is a sapphic engoukidou story set in high school. this is my favorite au of mine because i poured a lot of my gender discovery and lesbian experiences on this. this entire thing is better explained in these two posts written 2 years ago: Introduction and More Info.
i added more details about it in bsky here + about anti hero DE kazemaru (princess morbucks of this story)!! and pinya made this kazemaru art with some of his design liberties in bsky too!
2. Kageyama Won AU
way better summarized in this post so better go here instead! basically, its premise is: What If Kageyama won? -> and with your design, kari!!!!
3. Hiroto and Reina Role Reversal AU!!!
thread of it in bsky (feb 09, 2025). this one is inspired by this game i'm playing that time where the woman is in the exact same situation as hiroto but ended up killing her foster father because she got sick of how much he wanted her to be like the daughter who died.
in this AU, it's hitomiko who died and reina is her replacement (her name is also hitomiko now) and the og hiroto is the one who lived (older than how hitomiko was canonically), tatsuya takes reina's place as second in command. the actual story takes place on the aftermath of the genesis match when the deed is done with only flashbacks of everything that happened before. this is about reina wrestling with the guilt of what she has done, being heralded as hero by adults, and being seen as a bloodthirsty murderer by old friends. it's a story about self forgiveness, identity, and reconciliation. reina is also DID here!! because i hc canon kiyama as DID too.
-> Others!!
