This is going to sound like a really weird premise, but bear with me. What I'm looking to do is kind of a weird, AU buddy-comedy thing with Tybalt and Mercutio, where they're somehow plopped down into a completely foreign setting to them and need to band together and get over their hatred of each other to navigate it. The setting is negotiable, whether you want it to be somewhere in the modern day, or some fantasy scenario, or--I'm up for anything, really.
I played something like this in LJ's panfandom heyday about ten years ago, but never really made the most of it or took the plot anywhere, and now that I'm studying Shakespeare again, it's making me really want to dust off this ancient muse and give something similar another go.
I would also be interested in playing out a "neither of them dies" AU in the original setting of the play, just exploring their backstory and the house rivalry and all that fun stuff.
PBs are also entirely negotiable! Mercutio is up to you, and I'd be open to changing Tybalt's as well. I am not attached to any faces in particular.
