DE: In another place, in another time

[bjornwilde]

And rounding up meta week, we have a meme/prompt topic from genarti :

1) List the characters you'd like to have play in this
2) Other people will suggest AU scenarios -- I'm thinking more "Star Wars AU!" than "[specific canon event] went differently", but whatever you want! Either give a specific character or toss it out as a general challenge for the mun to pick which character they want to apply it to.
3) Tell us about that AU version of your character(s)! Or even ficlet it, if inspiration strikes.

ETA: Also, if you have any ideas for topics, feel free to leave them here and I'll give credit when it is used.

I'm about to catch up on some sleep, but before I go:

Fujita Yugo.
Sherral Maduin.
Wan.

[genarti]

I keep meaning to tell you how much fun I have reading Yugo's threads and OOMs. I don't know his canon, but I just really love that he has such a specific -- and clearly deliberately chosen -- idiom, and how that works with canon events and his outlook on life, and stuff!

Uh, so: Yugo in a magical girl anime?
