my favorite thing about au fanfiction the sheer range of it. how like sometimes the tag is like “alternate universe- they’re werewolf space pirates in charge of stopping their planet from being blown up by ancient immortal aliens from another realm” and sometimes it’s “alternate universe- chefs”
and sometimes it’s ‘alternate universe- everything is identical except that scene in season 18 episode 21 went very slightly differently’
AU where worst character straight up does not exist
