AU Prompts

I got this from the getyourwordsout tumblr:

• “I broke your nose at a mosh pit” AU


• “I hit you with my car and was the only one to visit you in the hospital” AU


• “You were chased by the cops, got in my car and just yelled ‘Drive!’” AU


• “You punched me in the face while gesticulating wildly to a friend” AU


• “You laughed in a restaurant but you have an ugly laugh and I thought you were choking, so I spent the last three minutes awkwardly humping you while performing the Heimlich maneuver” AU


• “We met each other on a Sunday morning, both doing our walk of shame” AU


• “I get really sick on roller-coasters and you had the misfortune of sitting in front of me so, uh… sorry…” AU


• “You’re the bastard who keeps parking right in front of my house so I retaliated by keying your car and you caught me” AU


• “I work at a department store and if you take out and unfold a shirt and then leave it one more time I’m going to stuff it down your throat” AU


• “You broke into my apartment drunk thinking it was your friend’s house and I should call the cops but my cat kinda likes you so we’re good” AU


• “My new dealer has friended me on Facebook and I’m unsure of how to react to that” AU


• “You saw me reading the same book you did and we got into a heated discussion on how much it sucks” AU


• “This is a five-hour-long plane ride, we’re sitting together and you’re deathly afraid of flying” AU

I really like the ones bolded. I could see each one starting a short story or novel. I can already see the walk of shame one--each person backing quietly out of a room in the same building, half dressed. They turn and oops...

The one about the breaking into a house but the cat liking him cracked me up. I also like the keying the car one. I can see that as the start of a antagonistic relationship that eventually turns to friendship. You know: he parks in her spot, she keys his car, he pulls up her flowers, she prunes his hedge into the shape of a penis; maybe escalating until they're both arrested and finally have to talk things out.

Damn plot bunnies.
