a. inspired by the song/video for Crack the Shutters by Snow Patrol.
Open interpretation or something about the tiny parts of a relationship.

b. Historical au inspired by this photo art of Fan Bingbing
You can make it reincarnation or plain historical or change it into space au or do whatever you like! (Whispers I love space au)

c. TRIGGER WARNINGS!!! inspired by the documentary and interview and mv for Hozier's take me to church. Basically explore the nature of Lu Han finding out his sexuality in the context of a society which doesn't accept this. OR Lu Han can be a straight person coming to terms with friends who are homosexual and learning to support and love and advocate for them.

d. inspired by the book The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. person a is a recent orphan coming to live with uncle and person b (cousin or whatever), and person c is a local boy/girl. feel free to set this however you like (vaguely victorian or modern or future or city or whatever, but I would prefer not Korea. keep the vaguely English atmosphere of the book). Lu Han is one of the trio of the characters; the other two are either exo members or crossovers (male or female). you can decide to have person b be a cousin or change that (in some settings relationships with cousins are historically acceptable; it's up to you). BONUS: happy poly ending would be awesome, but you can end however you like (as long as poly is included). you don't have to include smut (though you can), that's not the main focus.

e. Matthew Good - Garden of knives - open interpretation of this song in terms of perhaps entanglement, a relationship, smut. (pwp is fine or feel free to embroider this however you're inspired)

f. TRIGGER WARNING nothing but thieves - graveyard whistling mv and song open interpretation dealing with suicide and getting back on one's feet

g. the vaccines - dream lover song and mv - open interpretation or use the space au from the mv (capturing the dream lover)

i. ex machina trailer information - there's a new project with person a scientist, person b employee act as a test interactor, and person c the A.I. but what defines human consciousness? what is real? what is false? note: use as much or little of the au as you want; feel free to take it in a horror or romance or sci-fi direction.

j. dennou coil!au - in a future where everyone lives immersed in a digital super-layer of reality viewed via the glasses they always where, a group of children investigate a flaw in the system that might lead to the truth. what is real? what is love? what are feelings? is it real if you can't feel it? note: feel free to change whatever you like and they don't have to be children.

k. total eclipse!au. the relationship of a young genius poet and an older poem who takes him under his wing, even though he's already married. bonus: infidelity, angst. OPTION: set a story in modern time and draw parallel references to the story of verlaine and rimbaud, have the relationship between two characters and differentiate it from the past either with reincarnation or just simple interweaving.

l. inspired by the life of García Lorca. person a is a brilliant film maker in a group of artistic friends, but affections are not always returned and love can lead to betrayal. bonus: character death. notes: feel free to set this however, wherever, any time

m. Lu Han is the owner of a top restaurant/series of restaurants who happens to be at his restaurant when a food critic comes, and he sees him eating, and is obsessed (with him/with how he eats). He finds himself following the food critic around to other restaurants.

n. TRIGGER WARNING Lu Han is a student who works as a telemarketer to pay for tuition, a job which he hates. On one of the last calls before the end of the night (it's very late), he calls a house/apartment and the one answering is in the midst of a big crisis (health (major allergy/appendicitis, heart problem, asthma?) or emotional (major panic attack, suicide attempt?)).

o. inspired by 4post - We are the stars -
One person is a kindhearted university student (in psych or counselling) doing a free hugs project (standing in a public place) for a period of time as a study. The other person is having some trouble at/with school.

p. hanahaki disease 花吐き病 : A disease of the human system which first spread in Japan during 室町時代 — patients began coughing up flowers due to a fatal infection of unrequited love, first a few petals at a time, then long bouts of choking as the petals filled the airstream. Finally, the patient would choke to death and their dead body would erupt into the flower with which they were infected. (Every unrequited love would produce a different blossom, as no two people are the same.) Without a cure, the only survival method was to be loved in return. However matters of the human heart are never simple. open interpretation.

q. mama powers/Carrie au. Lu Han can move things without touching them, without even seeing them, but this only causes him pain in the form of a family who doesn't understand and ostracism by his peers. Ending up to you.

r. matsuo basho and haiku - open interpretation. maybe something along the lines of finding haiku in the library and it opening eyes to a whole new way of looking at the world

s. Moon!au,

u. open interpretation:
Home Wrecker
WRITTEN BY OCEAN VUONG
And this is how we danced: with our mothers’
white dresses spilling from our feet, late August
turning our hands dark red. And this is how we loved:
a fifth of vodka and an afternoon in the attic, your fingers
sweeping though my hair—my hair a wildfire.
We covered our ears and your father’s tantrum turned
into heartbeats. When our lips touched the day closed
into a coffin. In the museum of the heart
there are two headless people building a burning house.
There was always the shotgun above the fireplace.
Always another hour to kill—only to beg some god
to give it back. If not the attic, the car. If not the car,
the dream. If not the boy, his clothes. If not alive,
put down the phone. Because the year is a distance
we’ve traveled in circles. Which is to say: this is how
we danced: alone in sleeping bodies. Which is to say:
This is how we loved: a knife on the tongue turning
into a tongue.
