Fandom Snowflake: Challenge 3 AUs and Fusions

[fuzzyred]

Challenge #3

In your own space, put some favorite characters into an AU, fuse some favorite canons together, talk about your favorite AU/fusion tropes, or tell us why AU/fusions aren’t your cup of tea. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.



I don't create my own fanworks, so I don't have any AUs of my own, but I do enjoy reading them when others do it. It can be fun to see familiar characters in unfamiliar settings and see how that changes things. I've seen some really cool no powers-artist AUs with Steve and the Avengers cast. The only thing that bugs me is that sometimes the AUs aren't tagged very well, so I sometimes don't know which bits of canon have been kept; especially when some characters keep their abilities while others don't.

I'm not sure I have any favourite AUs or characters but I have probably read the most Marvelverse/Avengers AUs. I think the ones I like the best are the ones where Steve is some kind of artist as a career, or the ones where the characters are thrown into kinky things (there are a few really good BDSM AU type stories with Phil and Clint).

I do quite enjoy Steve as Cap, but like you, I enjoy seeing artist! Steve too. I don't know if I've come across the food truck story before, but I do remember one where Bucky's parents left him a restaurant and Steve is the chef. That one was really good. There was also one with Steve as a tattoo artist that was a lot of fun to read too.
