SF2020 - Bonus Round 4: AU/UA
For this year's last Bonus Round, we'll dive into alternative universes!
This bonus round will be open until Sunday, August 16th at 11:59pm (midnight) EDT. (Countdown)
This round is now closed!
The screening period is over! You're still able to post prompts and fills for this round but they won't count for points!
If you posted or edited a fill while comments were being screened, please use the comment unscreening form to let us know so we can unscreen it!
Once the screening period is over, you'll still be able to post prompts and fills for this round but they won't count for points!
Rules
- Submit prompts by commenting an alternative universe or universe alteration of your choice.
Alternate Universe is a broad trope that involves everything from placing the characters in wildly different settings to slightly adjusting key points of the canon story.
Universe Alteration is a subtype of AU. Its meaning is similar to canon divergence i.e settings that are mostly like canon expect a few points are changed.
Therefore an AU may be as specific as another piece of work (ie. Romeo and Juliet), or as vague as a theme (ie. fantasy) or an event (ie. AU where the characters were childhood friends). - You may suggest what role the characters have in said universe or let it up to the filler's imagination.
Examples:- AU where they're lost in space
- Red Little Riding Hood AU
- AU where Character A saved Character B's life
- AU where they're lost in space
Format
Required Work Minimums:- 400 words (prose)
- 400px by 400px (art)
- Traditional art is also allowed with a good quality photo/scan
- 14 lines (poetry)
- Playlists - 5 song minimum with artists. Link to either a video playlist, or each song separately. Be sure to warn for content in the music videos, and you may find linking to lyrics helpful. You may also write an explanation of why you chose each song.
- Moodboards - 9 photo min, source all photos, and no fanart allowed (unless it's your own)
- Fake Social Media - 4 images min
- If you’d like to use a different medium, please contact the mods if you have any questions about minimum requirements.
Format your comment in one of the following ways:
If Prompting
Please use the following subject line for your comment:
- PROMPT: [Your Team]

- You must include at least one specific character/ship and fandom in your prompt. You may add "any" after listing a few characters/ships/fandoms!

When Ryuu opens his eyes, he’s floating a few centimetres above the ground. He must be - he is lying down, but he can’t feel the floor under him. Everything is bathed in a pale yellow glow, like when you’ve closed your eyes for too long, or when the light diffusers at work are turned on.
“Hey,” a quiet voice speaks next to their head, just a tad too fake to truly be calming. “Wakey-wakey.”
“Wha ?” is all he can answer, and he gets a giggle.
“Waluigi, a classic. You’re a rad dude,” the voice says. It’s much more… natural, now, almost like a long-lost friend greeting you at the gates of-
Wait.
He should be dead by now.
The shock of thinking this sends him reeling, and Ryuu is suddenly assailed by waves and waves of nausea. Turning his head a little, he notices that he is indeed floating. He is above his body. His very, very dead body. The blood is enough of an indication.
“Don’t look at that too much,” the voice advises. “Usually it’s no good.”
“Who are you ?” Ryuu all but yells. “What the fuck is happening ?”
“I’m a friend. Good to meet you !”
Ryuu squints, and tries to turn his body around. His hands kind of… skip a few inches too low, and he ends up barrelling around until he’s fully stabilised, and facing the voice. The person speaking looks like…
“Noya ?” he asks, refusing to believe his own eyes.
“Nope, we just take the shape of your favourite person. I can also turn into your sister if that’s better ?”
“No, definitely not.” If Ryuu wasn’t so sure he was dead, he’d be pulling all his non-existent hair out. “You’re… A reaper ?”
“Ugh, gods, finally, someone gets it ! I’ve been told I’m an alien so. Many. Times. It’s insane, man, really. Must be that movie humans did a while back…”
Now would be the time where Ryuu, if he were religious, would ask about the afterlife, but he’s had no hope of making it to whatever good things come after death, should there be any. The fact that he’s still floating above his own body is a surprise in and of itself, because it proves that somehow, life… truly goes on.
“I’m gonna take you to the next step,” not-Noya tries to gently say, but it comes out as a horrible stage-whisper. “It’s a bit scary at first but, uh, I’m sure you’ll handle it.”
“Do I need to fight someone ?” Ryuu asks, half-joking.
“Maybe, yeah,” not-Noya answers, and Ryuu can’t tell if he’s joking back. “You should also have this,” he adds.
He hands Ryuu some sort of white and red robe, turning away until he gets rid of his clothes to put it on. When Ryuu is done, not-Noya makes thumbs up at him. “You look dashing ! And now, onwards !”
Re: FILL: Team 29 Balls to the Face, T
i am so spoiled??? by these amazing fills im gonna lose it. lmao i loved "ugh everyone thinks i'm an alien" that part was super funny to me. no im not an aLIEN im clearly a dEATH GOD learn the difference!!!
the angst is sO GOOD i want to know!! how/why ryuu died!!! and also the implication that he didn't get a chance to tell Noya how he felt???? UGH THE PAIN, it hurts so good
but also the idea that he gets to have a post-death adventure with not-Noya!!! is very exciting. thank you so much for this fill, i love it!!
