I love both a lot. I steer towards writing AUs myself, since minsung are a very fun couple to put in alternate situations in, but minsungs canon story is tender and delicate and full of potential.. its just that sometimes i dont feel like constraining myself to their jobs as idols! Its time consuming and restricting, since portraying it realistically means keeping minsung in the closet, and means that they dont have much time for personal adventures etc. I guess i love writing non-famous but normal AUs most.. just best friends minsung, being best friends but not being idols, often still having some kind of job in music or dance or at least planning to go into the directions.. its fun to rewrite their meetcute or the start of their dynamic in general and build them towards where they are now.
A ton of my brainworms are actually fantasy/magical AUs kjsdhgjkhag. I love royalty and magic so much and i love making minho powerful so therefor you have me coming up with many magic AUs with so much beautiful non-con.. i hope some of them get finished one day..
so yeah i like. AUs And canon compliant. I'm not picky at all
