DE: In another place, in another time

And rounding up meta week, we have a meme/prompt topic from [personal profile] 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.

Ahahahah. *cackles*

Well. Athelstan would be totally fish out of water if he'd got kidnapped by space pirates instead of Vikings, but it really wouldn't be too long before he did his Stockholm chameleon thing and became one of them. And then he'd have the time of his life and never want to leave.

Giovanni in urban fantasy... would be pretty much who he is. Clumsy boy who trips over table legs, uneven pavements, his own feet, thin air... then suddenly blossoms and turns into a swashbuckling badass. Just possibly with magic.

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

Cadfael would be the best Sheriff Shrewsbury has ever had. Completely and totally fair and kind to the less fortunate. (And because Hugh Beringar has to be in the story somewhere, I'd be forced to reverse the roles and make him the herbalist monk and help solve the crimes.)

He also wouldn't have to put up with Brother Jerome's constant nagging.

Though it leaves to wonder just how Hugh would be able to put up with Jermone instead.

grins With an awful lot of forebearance and complaining to Cadfael where Prior Robert couldn't hear him.

Now I'm thinking of the scene in 'The Devil's Novice' of Cadfael remarking on the temptation to strangle Jerome at times....

I do feel a little bad, because I'm sure Jermone's heart is in the right place-he just goes about it all wrong.

Someone actually does strangle Jerome in The Devil's Novice. And then the abbot, when it's clear he's going to be fine but won't get his voice back for a few days, says something about every cloud having a silver lining...

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?

(I should probably note that whatever AU scenario is involved, Santo's still gonna be wearing the silver mask, because that's just how he rolls.)

My first thought is he'd be a kind of back alley doctor, but with much more genuine care for his patients than most of them have. Possibly operating illegally, but sticking like glue to the principle of 'first do no harm'.
