The AU Meme

[browngirl]

I saw this meme and loved it immediately. My version is a mashup of the ones I saw in penknife and miakun's journals:

The Hypothetical AU Meme: Take any one of the fandoms you know I write AND give me a type of AU (space opera AU, pirate AU, superhero AU, etc.) or a time period (Ancient Rome, Renaissance England, etc). I will then explain what story from that fandom I would write for that AU.

While I will very much not mind being asked for a Minoan AU, I like other time periods and settings too!

Titans, high fantasy!

Do you remember "Beneath the Banner of the Bat"?

After some years, Dic the Fair had gathered around himself a group of adventurous young followers. A passionate warrior princess, exiled by her evil sister; a champion archer with fire-colored hair; a strong dusky-skinned warrior cursed to never be able to remove his armor, and his best friend in all the world, a quick-tongued little acrobat with fanged teeth; and a mysterious and haunted young sorceress with darkness in her past. Eventually, however, the Bruce forced Dic to choose between him and this team of young titans, and most reluctantly the Dic sent his friends to help his bright-eyed princess regain her throne.

*grins at you* I am sorry this took so long. This week got away from me.

I'm so incredibly subtle, aren't I? And you're just so incredibly awesome - that sounds like a universe I could *wallow* in.

And apologies for not responding before - my email has decided be be crap.

*laugh* And then I found this in my inbox and realized I'd never replied. (I did feel bad that I didn't manage to work in Wonder Girl, but I couldn't do better than Generic Amazon Girl, which she already is.) I'm really glad this delighted you, especially that week, when it sounded like you could really use some delighting.
