AUs are my absolute favourite thing when it comes to shipping. It just gives me an opportunity to flex and bend the characters into roles; at the same time, it challenges me to preserve the dynamic and original traits of characters without making them too OOC for a reader's taste.
As lyrangalia knows, I love the Adlock Mythology AU to bits. (Which I'll probably explain someday how it works for me). But this ain't about the Mythology AU!
So here's a question-what AUs can you see Adlock in? How does it work for you? Any headcanons, etc?

I can definitely see Teen!Adlock and Uni!Adlock, but I cannot wrap my head around Kid!Adlock (like some AU where they meet as kids but don't have romance until they're older)
But the AU that trumps them all . . . Potter!Adlock, with Sherlock in Ravenclaw and Irene in Slytherin. Because that would be perfect on so many different levels.

jhfkjahsfklshakfhas Potter!Adlock though. I sort of like the idea of Sherlock in Slytherin as well...Ravenclaw is a definite for him though. And the fluff that would arise out of Potter!Adlock, ahhh.

YES to all those, Potter!adlock I too see Sherlock more as a Slytherin with Irene they're both on the mischievous side Irene a tad more so. And in that au I see kid!adlock a bit better, they grow up together it's in later years he let's her drag him behind pillars for messy kisses and hide in the depths of the library, reading books together until they fall asleep. uwu
I've never actually given much thought to other au's oops

I have to admit that I am warming to the mythology Persephone/Hades AU (thanks, cheure  , though my personal favourite is still Marauders-era Potterlock where Irene, Sherlock, and Jim are all in Slytherin at the same time, though different years (I know, how is the Slytherin dungeon still standing?). This also has the bonus of Irene and Sherlock trying to race each other to figuring out Remus Lupin's secret. Which, fun, and I'm sure I don't have to tell anyone how much I love it when Irene and Sherlock try to one up each other. |

It's my favourite AU after Mythology AU--we need more Potterlock, just in general. Intresting though...do you think that any of them would be Death Eaters, or from a family of Death Eaters? I can personally see Jim as one. Irene and Sherlock...I'm not sure, really A random idea that just occured to me--a rather dumb one, but based on the concept of Irene and Sherlock constantly trying to beat each other. Olympics figure skating AU? It's like Irene and Sherlock are more than just /great/ figure skaters, they're excellent figure skaters-some observers can't even tell if someone has an upper hand, because it's so hard to call. Nevertheless, they both still try to one-up each other at competitons, and it's utterly hilarious that John and Mary (insert other characters) are just plain /done/ with them. Figure skating is so graceful...sighs. - OOH and another random, extreme thought. Mythology AU. That would be funny if Hades!lock and Persephone!Irene had a kid...then some Disney Hercules stuff happened to the kid. Their kid is named Nero. Nero became the emperor of Rome. And, assuming if the legends are true, Nero burned Rome down while playing the fiddle/lyre. Meanwhile his parents watch from the side, say they they are so proud of him, unawares that he's caused this much trouble. Oh, I would laugh. Jesus, I need to stop. |

OOH and another random, extreme thought. Mythology AU. That would be funny if Hades!lock and Persephone!Irene had a kid...then some Disney Hercules stuff happened to the kid. Their kid is named Nero. Nero became the emperor of Rome. And, assuming if the legends are true, Nero burned Rome down while playing the fiddle/lyre. Meanwhile his parents watch from the side, say they they are so proud of him, unawares that he's caused this much trouble. Oh, I would laugh. Jesus, I need to stop. I didn't know I needed this until now. That aside, I'd love some Spy AU. I've only found and read one story in that style ( Land of Hope and Glory) and it was truly brilliant, though it wasn't focused on them (which was oddly reefreshing). I don't know about Potterlock since I've never read HP and I can barey remember a thing or two about the movies. But I know myself well enough to know I'd still read it, and it would probably entice me into reading HP. |

As for Irene, I see her as being from a family of purebloods but exactly one that has death eaters in them. And omg the Mythology!AU would totally work jkdhbagd I'd love to read it wjafh |

He could also be a pureblood, but he's more intrested in Muggles than magic---so that's why the other Slytherins make fun of him? IDK either way it would work so :/ speaking of Mythology AU--it's Hades and Persephone, but it's Persephone who came to Hades, and no rape/Stockholm syndrome is present. It's all under the assumption that the more well-known story is false... Lyra just posted a fic for it! I'll get on my computer and link them, mobile's acting up uwu EDIT-here are the fics! archiveofourown.org/works/584420/chapters/1720719archiveofourown.org/works/584420/chapters/2533816 |
