Let's talk about AUs baby

[mediaville]

So I was chatting with estrella30 last night and we were ruminating about whether or not more AU fics should exist in JoBro fandom. On the one hand, there seems to be a fair amount of enthusiasm for Kevron AUs. But for Joe-centric or Nick-centric pairings, non-AUs outweigh AUs by a healthy margin.* Is it because these boys are ridiculously slashy as

god, I really really REALLY want like, a college!au, where nick is all super serious and joe is out drinking and partying every night and then there is drunken awkward blowjob shenanigans. AND SUCH.

or, uhm, kevin owns a bar and joe is a bartender and nick is the schlocky dude with the guitar who plays at open mic night every week and joe is in love with him and his sexy soothing VOICE.

or, god, THE WEDDING PLANNER! or whatever that stupid fucking movie with jennifer lopez is, and joe is a wedding planner and he meets nick one night at some concert in the park and they fall in LOVE. but then nick shows up at joes work and joe is supposed to plan nick wedding to BORING SELENA GOMEZ and there is much angsting and shenanigans.

BRB THINKING OF MORE.

(also, hi, I'm writing not very happy porn right now. WTF, SELF.)

Did you ever read rudhampaiel's college!AU - He found a tidal wave (swam on to better days)? It's pretty much like that, except with some incest angst and a whole bunch of actual school angst.

AHAHAHA I love the Wedding Planner one! On the jb_bigbang prompt post I had prompted a Hitch!AU wherein Nick enlists Joe to help him woo some girl, make him smooth with the ladies and what have you, but then it backfires and Joe ends up falling for Nick. It's similar, and I want BOTH OF THEM.

ALL PORN IS HAPPY PORN, FYI.

I HAVE NOT READ THAT COLLEGE ONE. I will do that right now!

and oh, god, a HITCH AU. that sounds WONDERFUL. why are there not so many more people writing these things?? IT WOULD MAKE ME SO HAPPY IF THEY WOULD.

sigh.

Ohh. I like your brain.
And now I want to go watch The Wedding Planner LOL. Such a cute movie.

You know, I've decided my brain is just very easy to sway today.

[estrella30]

hee! the wedding planner is honestly the movie I've pretty much seen more than any movie IN MY LIFE, just for the fact that it's seriously always on SOME kind of channel and whenever it is on I'm POWERLESS to change the channel. I just cant do it! I will watch it WHENEVER it is on my tv!

SO SAD.

The movie that's always on. Or maybe it's just me.
Is uhm -thinks- Sleepless in Seattle. I think TNT has some serious addiction issues with that movie.
