au / plot

paper lanterns : prompts, drabbles, and one-shots

A hates his bartending job at the super fancy restaurant because he's sick of telling that one guy that no he cannot mix him a drink with all the alcohol they have and he's sick of people asking him to do fancy tricks that he clearly can't do. And also because he can't go talk to that super cute waiter. Because he's stuck here. Behind the bar.

A can't take it anymore and one day swaps positions with C the other waiter for a shift to talk to B. Except A doesn't know how to carry more than two plates on an arm and C definitely can mix all the alcohol they have there with disastrous consequences.

 

 -- this was also a prompt from a fic fest. the original pairing was luhan (a) and chen (b) and I'm probably gonna stick with that if i end up writing this because it's much more of a fanfic prompt than original fic. it's so cute though like this is one of the things that i want to write because it doesn't already exist but i would rather read it ;;

Chapter 1: these are all so creative!! i especially like the vigilante one and "is this really the legacy you want to leave behind?" since i can see it also working for a superhero/supervillain au where it's good friends pitted against each other lol. also "they are wrong: we are not the illness, we are the cure" sounds like it'd make a really good prompt for the a dystopian or exo's lucky one!au

Yo ok I would 10/10 read stories based on these, especially the gumiho one and the vigilante crew working to prevent an international crisis one!
