What If: A Bandom AU Picspam

[cest_what]

So harriet-vane had a post about photos representing AUs, and I went away and thought for a little while and got terrifyingly inspired.

Here is the result.

College Sharehouse (American term?) AU Frank; one of those incredibly grotty all-guy sharehouses where most of the trash is beer bottles and cooking is only attempted while high and thrash metal is study music and everything's vaguely hilarious unless you live directly upstairs.

I lived in Santa Cruz, Calfornia for college, so you either just have roommates (non-relations sharing a home or apartment) or what I know of as Co-ops, which tend to be all about shared, group-living, respect, communication, sometimes cultural or political affiliation or action (here's a good article on our 3 big co-ops, Chavez co-op actually has a pet hen named Steven: http://www.gtweekly.com/2007082911150/good-times/covers/home-grown).

I'm thinking we go with "College Roommates AU" then ;)

Not to be predictable, but whee! the one where they all work in a library.

I desperately want to see Ryland with a bubble pipe. They made him swap out the real one for a bubble one because he works the shifts where all the kids come in, and he has to set a good example.

This is a Last Summer Before College AU where four boys meet on the beach. And fall in love. And discover they're headed to the same college in the fall.

Or the Fire Island summer AU.

Ryland's bubble pipe! Yes ♥ And the kids are always trying to get a go with it, but Ryland won't let any of them touch it and has built up this incredible mythology about his pipe that has the kids all wide-eyed and awed and Alex kind of catatonic with laughter.

Fire Island?

Fire Island is kind of a gay Mecca, like San Francisco. It's actually really famous and historically important. People would go there and it would be the only time they could actually let loose and be out in any sense.
