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 love AUs and consider all fanfics to be AU (even if they're canon-compliant). I love the diversity of reading different versions of the same trope (example: Dramione Marriage Law fanfics). I don't write much nowadays and instead look to other writers to fill the AU-shaped hole in my heart because there's always someone who has the courage to write another take on a specific scene or whatnot.

Are fusions similar to crossover fics? I don't think I've ever written one fusion fic but I have read some notable ones especially in The Social Network fandom. I really like reading The Social Network Big Bang fics because they're novel-length (or greater) and the characterization is still on point while dipping the characters in a different context.
