Fic Meme: Existing AUs

[beekeeperofeden]

I want to roll around in AUs but can't figure out where to start, so ask me questions about my existing AUs (or suggest new ones if you want to make my life harder) and I shall try to answer them in the form of prose.

Leave up to five requests. I guarantee at least one (1) commentfic response. (If you post a variant of this to your own journal so I can poke you for fic, I'll guarantee two.)

[Meme is still open]

Fills (organized by AU):

Come Into My Parlor (index):

language immersion camp from hell (warning for corpses and vague horror)
Didn't Dinin end up in the festival of lights because Entreri made a break for it?

When drider!dinin gets lost in the Festival of Lights, how did he find his way home to his crevasse?

Heaven is Overrated (index):

does Artemis have a weapon analogous to the jeweled dagger?
what does Artemis have to say about stealing the spaceship?

I really need to go back and read Silent Blade again, I have no memory of that scene. Or at least not of what he was doing, I remember the waiting. Regardless, I do so love the thought of a theater major with a math minor - not a combo you think of normally, but it fits him well!

(I just realized - he also immediately notes the high degree of cheating happening within seconds of entering the Copper Ante. He really is a math nerd! That's adorable!)

Jarlaxle's college experience sounds a lot like my early years (changed majors 4 times in three years) except I bet he's still a straight-A student.

I feel like Artemis would really dislike a philosophy class and I can't decide if that makes it better or worse for everyone else in the room? Good thing Jarlaxle's amused, at least!

(The prose managed to congeal, but didn't actually match the question you asked, so that prompt's still on the back-burner.)

It's in chapter 9: He took out some dice and began throwing them on the small night table beside the chair, making up games and passing the hours.

I also did a weird combo (English/Comp. Sci), so I like to imagine he figures out fifty thousand ways to shut down "wow, that's such an ~unusual~ combination, what do you plan to do with it?" conversations before they start.

I hadn't realized that about the Copper Ante! Good point.

Better, probably. It's a freshman-level gen-ed course, most of the students aren't taking it seriously. Drizzt is, and Artemis is poking him full of holes for it (and using every single thing he's learned in his theater classes to provoke him in the process).
