Notes: I'll be prompting by AU, not by character. Characters nominated are just my preferences for you to choose out of the X-Men universe and obviously this exchange is 'or' so I only expect a single character at most out of the list. I have no pairing preferences as long as they do not violate my DNWs.
Prompts:
Marvel 616: Different Members For The First X-Team
What would the first fight against Magneto have been like with a totally different team?
Would the team have been teens or would they have been recruited at a different period in their lives and time period in the Marvel universe?
What would a classic adventure be like with a separate group?
How would public perception be with different mutants in the limelight?
Marvel 616: Different Person Formed The X-Men
What if Mystique had formed the X-Men? Magneto? Beast? Emma Frost? Cyclops? Jubilee? What inspired them? What world would it have been like that led to someone other than Xavier doing it?
X-Men I guess is less defined as that name and more as 'first mutant hero group'
Marvel 616: Character Was Never Written Out Of Main Series
Okay I ADMIT this one is mostly about Maggott and Cecelia Reyes. But since this is 'or' matching, obviously it's fair and encouraged to use anytime any of the above characters were written out (Gambit in the arctic, Kurt being killed, etc) and so I would like to see what happens if that had *not* happened. What would change? How did it play out differently?

Notes: Again, all pairings fine with me as long as they don't violate my DNW. This means background pairings as well. If you want to use a player character, I have no preferences for race/class.
Also feel free to combine AUs! I think a lot of them can work together!
Prompts:
WOW: Jaina Was Anduin's Legal Guardian
What if instead of Bolvar and Onyxia, Jaina was the only guardian of Anduin?
Including helping/majority ruling Stormwind.
How does this change their story?
What kind of queen is Jaina so young? Could she bring peace?
How does Anduin grow up with her in that role instead of just Auntie?
WOW: Horde And Alliance Conflict Solved With Marriage
All: Arranged Marriage AU
ALL: Negotiations Abt Which Family Member Will Enter The Promise Arranged Marriage
Thrall/Jaina obvious but also what if Calia/Jaina for the Forsaken IN THE EVENT that Calia is their new leader and somehow it doesn't end in them being eaten. (Note: I like Aggra just fine, so if you could set any Thrall/Jaina pre-Aggra that would be great)
Arthas almost married Jaina, but what if Lordaeron was trying to make an alliance with Kul Tiras via Calia? How would Arthas and Calia negotiate their perspective? How would Jaina feel? How would things turn out with the whole Lich King thing?
I just like arranged marriage aus.
WOW: Orphaned Princes Baine and Anduin Raised Together
Could be sad, could be cute, coud be a way peace was obtained.
What circumstances would lead to this? A bronze dragon raising the princes? One ends up as the ward of the other side? Hostage prisoners? Who knows!
Maybe there's peace and they're just little princes who are friends hanging out during a conference and getting into mischief in the gardens.

Prompts:
All: requested character is the new leader of State instead of canon leader
Mix and match whatever faction, whatever character you want for this. What happened? HOW did it happen?
All: A Is a Ghost Only B Can See
Honestly I would just love if Sylvanas was stuck haunting Jaina or Thrall or any of the other characters. Just banshee'd out and got stuck.
All: Political/Alliance Marriage
Mix and match any of the characters. There's no pairings nominated so feel free to do whatever ones you think would make for an interesting AU. Especially if you set it much earlier in the canon to really change things up. As long as it's not a canon pairing. I want some AU.

Is there a chance of Optimus riding a dragon?
Also would they wear regency outfits?
