AUs part 2 lads
queer eye au: my dudes, how can we even have two ot5s as wonderful as the queer eye babes and shinee without meshing those two worlds? so in my head: kibum is the fashion icon of the century, jjong is home decor with a perfectionist eye, minjung is my beautiful nb grooming gay, taemin is our lil culture bub who does the emotional makeover on their clients, and jinki is food and wine bc he knows how to reinvent people’s diets in rlly clean and easy ways.
minkey parents au sorta?: it’s rlly just an au that popped in my head bc my mom came home from getting my brother out of daycare one day and apparently one teacher had been like bouncing a rubber ball on this little girl’s head kinda antagonizing her and my mom was immediately like “well time to pull my son out of this daycare,” so like that but instead of my mom and my brother it’s minho and his little bro yoogeun who he’s raising with his trans gf gwi.
hybrid au: because i’m That Bitch, but don’t worry all my aus like this avoid icky trope stuff and delve more into the underlying themes of social justice that are like, begging to be evaluated. so like humans onkey who r roommates and jinki is a self-proclaimed bleeding heart and they end up taking in more abandoned/homeless hybrids than they should logically have space for, but key and jinki both love them all like family so they can’t turn them away. minho is a big cuddly doberman hybrid, jonghyun is an egyptian mau hybrid, and taem is a v tactile nd playful havana brown hybrid who’s been described as “dog-like” despite bein’ a kitty hybrid.
a/b/o au:Â but the previous disclaimer still stands; not icky and has more commentary on social dynamic. onjongtae are (in respective order) an alpha/alpha/omega polyship, and minho is an omega despite all appearances and key is his beta bf.
criminal masterminds au: because ;) you know. kibum’s trusted allies are jinki and taemin, and they work together to pull heists and gather intel and such. jjong is a solo mastermind whose path has crossed with kibum’s more than once, and they’ve upgraded through the years from rivals to friendly acquaintances to friends and now it seems to partners in both craft and personal life. minho is just the poor weapons supplier who deals with both of them and maybe,,, possibly,,, mayhaps is crushing on jinki and taem.
band au: like i know shinee is literally a group but i mean like lame-ass high school garage band shit like jjong uses too much untrained falsetto and is always complaining about his sore throat & drinking tea like that’s what he was born to do, and key doesn’t think he’s good at singing despite having the vocal chords of like,,, an angel so he’s on drums, jinki does sub-vocals and bass, taem does sub-v. and synth, and minho is on electric guitar, and they’re fuckin’ poets and musical geniuses despite being high schoolers they’re just also gay nerds/emo!punk babes and troublemakers y’all i literally love this au.
important high school au #3: taemin is jinki’s adopted brother, and they’re childhood friends with minho and key who live around their neighborhood but go to a private school nearby (they low-key despise it). jjong is a recent transfer student to the school jinki and taemin are at, and he’s a bit of a lonely bub bc he was bullied for being openly queer at his old high school and now he’s scared to make friends but taemin gets paired with him for an assignment and they end up playin’ video games together a lot and jjong becomes rlly good friends with them and wins the hearts of like everybody in the entire goddamn school.
that’s all for now lol i hope y’all enjoyed :)
i’ll start posting my oneshots on here once I’ve got some finished up and polished the way I want them <3 !!
