crack au day!

And before I go, a meme!

Take any one of the fandoms you know I write/rec/read AND give me a type of AU (space opera AU, pirate AU, superhero AU, etc) or another time period (Ancient Rome, Regency England, etc). I will then explain the gist of the story I would write for that AU.

I should add that any historical AUs will be EXTREMELY INACCURATE, and you are probably safer with superheroes.

Harry Potter superhero AU: a bit like an X-Men fusion, actually! Obviously the basic plot is the same: when Harry was a year old, the mutant supremacist Voldemort came to kill Harry and his family, and mysteriously vanished instead. Harry grows up with his relatives, who don't want a mutant in the family and repeatedly try to squash it out of him, until when he's eleven Harry's contacted by Professor Dumbledore and swept off to the Hogwarts School for Mutants to fulfill his destiny, &c &c.

Harry has flight and superspeed; his best friends are Hermione, whose stunning brainpowers manifest in extremely clever thinking and telekinesis though not, to her disappointment, telepathy; and Ron, who can stretch his limbs way far and feels a bit awkward for not having a more interesting power. (Especially since Fred and George make things explode, Percy makes forcefields, Charlie can transform into a dragon, and Bill can walk through walls. It's a lot to live up to.) Meanwhile presumably Draco Malfoy makes ice, and no one's quite sure what Professor Snape's power is, but everyone has the awful feeling he can read minds.
