Chapter Two: Occupational or situational prompts
+ Write your own musical featuring the characters. You could write your own songs, or use songs from pop culture, a la Glee. Make sure there's at least one duet!
+ One or both of these characters are musicians. Possibly in the same band, possibly in rival bands. They could write a song together, or simply meet each other through music.
+ One is a prostitute, the other is a customer.
+ One is living on the streets, the other is fairly wealthy and takes them in.
+ Gangs: One could be a gang leader, the other a lower member of the gang. Or one of them isn't in a gang at all.
+ Both are explorers searching for ancient artifacts, a mythical civilization, a secret tome or bauble, the works.
+ Only one is an explorer; the other is an inhabitant of the explorer's destination.
+ One of them dies and returns to the other as a ghost. There are many reasons why this could happen: unfinished business, revenge on their killer, or simply not wanting to leave their love. <3
+ Give them a kid. Nah, don't be ashamed. If you don't like m-preg, have them adopt a kid. What kind of parents would they be, especially in a crisis?
+ Instead of meeting as adults, what if they'd met as children? How would their relationship have changed as they grew? Were they separated and re-introduced?
+ One of them is a demon, or is possessed by a demon. What does that do to their mind and body? Do they have wings? Funky eyes? How does it change their relationship?
+ On the contrary, what if the other one was an exorcist? What if they didn't know that it was their love who was possessed? What would they do when they found out?
+ One is imprisoned. The other may be a guard, an employee at the prison, or another prisoner. Why were they arrested? How would they respond to prison life? Will they try to escape?
+ One is a serial killer. The other could be a potential victim, a police officer, a criminologist, or even another killer. Ever heard of the Hillside Strangler(s)? How do people like that fall in love? That's up to you.
+ One is a superhero. The other could be their nemesis, a reporter (a la Lois Lane), or another superhero. Or even just a regular joe that gets swept up into the superhero business because their lover got into it.
+ One has a serious illness; the other is a doctor or nurse at the hospital. What illness is it? Is it terminal? Contagious? This would be a good prompt to bring some other characters in, too. Is the patient already in a relationship when he meets the doctor/nurse?
+ The cast of the fandom is in high school. Would there be cliques? Who would be in what organizations? Who would be the class clown? The prom queen? The nerds and athletes?
+ One has a severe mental disorder and is admitted to an insane asylum. If this was mixed with a historical AU, then do some research on Bedlam and the like; the conditions for the mentally-ill back then were much worse, with more potential for angst. The other character could be a doctor or employee, or just a concerned lover.
+ Espionage! One is a spy, James Bond style. The other could be a sexy love interest, another spy, or even the enemy at first. Don't forget the gadgets, sleek outfits, and daring foreign missions!
+ They take a couple more pairings on a cross-country road trip. Where are they going and why? What hardships will they face along the way? Do they have a camper, or are they relying on hotels and motels to sleep in? And all sorts of things can happen in hotel rooms…
+ You knew this suggestion was coming, right? Pirates. Pirates is the go-to yaoi AU these days, it seems. Anyway, both of them could be pirates. A captain and a cabin boy. A captain and first mate. A captain and a wench. Searching for treasures, plundering other ships. Piratey fun!
Chapter Two: Alternate Universes from Pop Culture
Pokemon!
They are both Pokemon trainers, gym leaders, or even random Team Rocket members. What Pokemon would they have? How would they meet? What type of Pokemon would they favor?
Silent Hill!
They both get lost in the strange town of Silent Hill. What and who do they encounter there? What weapons do they find and use? How do they escape, and at what cost?
The Hunger Games!
Both of them are chosen as tributes for the Hunger Games. What districts are they from? What do they grab from the cornucopia? How long do they last? And may the odds be ever in their favor!
Harry Potter!
Both characters are wizards. They can be students at Hogwarts, work at the Ministry of Magic, be Death Eaters, whatever! If they're at Hogwarts, what house are they in? Do they play Quidditch? What position? What's their wand like? What's their Patronus?
Star Trek!
Both are officers on a starship! What jobs do they have? What species are they? How do they meet and what happens after? Put their starship through all sorts of hell. I encourage it.
SO WE COME TO THE END.
Goodbye! Hope I was useful! I'm always looking for additions!

Something I was working on today. I couldn't find any fanfic prompts, so I made up my own. I decided to focus on Alternate Universe prompts because I don't find too many of those.
Anyway, ATTENTION READERS: I am always looking for more prompts to add! So if you have a good idea for an Alternate Universe prompt, you can tell me and I'll add it and credit you for the idea!
