MistyNat Au Prompts
This is here for anyone that wants to USE these prompts. I won’t be using them myself. When I come up with any more, I’ll add them to one of the lists in a different color. or at least try to change the color. but sometimes it doesn’t work for me. 
You don’t have to ask or credit me. Enjoy. 
Teen MistyNat AU ideas
College au: Having to share a dorm room, your typical jock and nerd friendship or romantic trope. Misty always offers to help Nat with her classwork, but Nat wants to avoid Misty's help. Nat can handle her classwork and soccer stuff on her own.
Role reversal Au: Misty is the punk/Gothic girl on the soccer team, while Nat is the weird nerdy girl, the group's equipment manager. 
Theater/Play au: the football team pulls a prank on the theater kids. They end up distorting the play's set. The football team pins the stunt on the girls' soccer team, and the school forces them to help with the play, or they forfeit nationals. 
Robin Hood Au: Nat is robin hood, Misty is Little Jon, Lottie is Maid Marion, Laurel Lee is friar tuck, and the rest of the yellowjackets are merry men. Umm... the males can be the villains.
Animal Transformation AU: (NOT OMEGA-VERSE) It’s just kind of like Animorphs, but not really. They just have the ability to turn into an animal. Maybe they gain this ability when they are in the wilderness. It’s up to you what animals mistynat can turn into (and the rest of the yellowjackets).  
But I’m a Cheerleader AU: the yellowjeckts get sent to a rehab camp (cause all of them are gay as fuck) Mistynat are the main ship. and the rest are side ships that are either trying to get them together or stop them from dating.  
Are You Afraid of the Dark Au: The yellowjackets sit around a campfire telling scary stories. Misty is an outsider looking to join the group. Some yellowjackets are skeptical if she could even mean a frightening tale (cause she is a theater kid, likes to show tunes and dresses weirdly). Maybe Natalie and a few others (maybe Van, Jackie, Tai, and Laura Lee) give her a test to prove she can tell a scary story. And perhaps someone tries to sabotage her frightening tale.
10 things I hate about you AU: (Basically the movies plot) Misty is Kat, Nat is Patrick, Jackie or Laura Lee is Bianca, and Shauna or Lottie is Cameron. 
 FoxFire AU: Misty and four other girls want to make a teacher pay for making sexual advances at them. The principal isn’t on their side and punishes the girls. Misty and the other four girls now including Nat. They break into the school, to get their confiscated items back. This leads to them setting an accidental fire. The girls grow closer but some of their demons are ready to pull them apart.  
She’s All That au:  Misty is unpopular and bullied for her looks. Nat and the rest of the yellowjackets are pretty famous. Their team has gone undefeated in 3yrs. At one of their victory parties, some girls dare Natalie to turn Misty into the school's next prom queen. Natalie doesn’t like the idea initially, but when the girls say they will pay her (insert amount of money here) if Misty wins. Natalie agrees to do it. Misty doesn’t fully trust Natalie, yet she has been crushing on the star athlete for years. So, she lets Natalie help her with her looks while she helps Natalie with her school work. The two grow closer as they work together. Learning things about each other no one knows. When prom comes, everyone, even Natalie, is shocked by Misty’s new look (straighten hair Misty HC goes here). Misty overhears the other yellowjackets talking about the bet in the girl's bathroom. Sadly she knew Natalie was using her; she just hoped that Natalie would come clean and that they were becoming friends. Natalie (and maybe a few other yellowjackets) feels like shit for this stupid bet. Will Natalie be able to earn Misty’s trust again?   
D3: The Mighty Ducks AU: The Yellowjackets are awarded scholarships to a prep school. They must play on the school JV team in their new school colors. Not only that, but they need to learn how to get along with the Senior varsity team. How can they when the Senior Varsity team is always pranking them? Can the yellowjackets hold their team together and overcome the senior varsity team's pranks, or will the team split? As a few members want to prank the seniors back, others want to take advantage of this opportunity they have been given. Besides adjusting to a new school and how they are treated there, some yellowjackets need to learn how to deal with their growing feelings for their teammates (MistyNat, LottieLee, JackieShauna, TaiVan). Will they survive at this school and finally confess their feelings to their teammate, or will they crash and burn?
Tumblr media
Adult MistyNat AU ideas 
Medieval AU: Nat is a knight or rouge, and Misty tries to prove she can be Nat's apprentice. Caligula can be Misty's mini pet dragon. 
Parents AU: Nat and Misty adopted (young) Lisa after realizing that Lisa's home resembles how they grew up. Nat is a teacher at Lisa's school, while Misty is the school's nurse. Both women rent a house together. They are both in denial about how they act like a married couple. They are nothing more than housemates. But one thing they do agree on is they care about Lisa.
Pirate AU: Nat and her crew sail the seas striking fear into the hearts of those that challenge her ship, The Yellowjackets. She and her first mate (whoever you think it should be) realize they are the only ship with an all (mostly all) female crew. Sadly one day, they find a woman who claims to be a doctor has stolen away on their ship. Misty is a self-proclaimed doctor that constantly wants more to life, so she decides to sneak aboard The Yellowjackets. Nat realizes that Misty might be helpful even though she is a headache (Misty would be like Stede Bonnet from Our Flag Means Death or AC4: Black Flag, change my mind.)
Person of Interest AU: Nat is Shaw, and Misty is Root. Or Nat is Shaw’s intern/apprentice, and Misty is Root’s shadow/apprentice. 
Bodyguard AU: Misty is a particular person interested in a feral case. Tai hires Natalie to protect Misty at all costs. Though she does warn Natalie that Misty can be a handful. At first, Natalie doesn’t believe her old friend/teammate. Soon Natalie finds out how wrong she was to dismiss Tai’s warnings. Can Natalie handle this job, or will Misty be the end of her?
Never Been Kissed AU: Misty has to return to the hell hole that was once her high school. As a journalist, she must go undercover and discover what teens are into nowadays. Shauna, the school's English teacher, decides to help her. That is, if only Misty helps Shauna get closer to her daughter Callie, a popular girl. Misty agrees to help Shauna. Everything is going according to plan until Misty's old high school crush starts working at the school as a guidance counselor (or Radio teacher) Natalie Scatorccio. Will Misty be able to keep her promise while keeping her job, or will her past be too painful? 
Tumblr media
Either Adult or Teen Au ideas
Buffy Au (crossover): Nat is a slayer in training (probably under Faith or Buffy... maybe both), While Misty could be either a witch (training under Willow AND Tara cause Tara didn't die) or she could be a vengeance demon (like Anya)
Fake dating au: Misty asks Nat to pretend to date her, hoping Walter will lose interest in her. Nat only agrees to do so when they "break up" Misty promises to leave Nat alone. 
Arranged marriage au: Maybe Nat's parents and Misty's parents are business partners, and they want to keep the business in the family, so they decide that their kids should get married.
Xena Au: Nat is Xena, and Misty would be Gabrielle
Groundhog's Day au: Misty is sent back to either when she broke the black box or the night she killed Nat. If she doesn't stop herself from doing one of those things, that day will start over until she figures out what to do. (Like if she picks the day she distorted the black box and fails to not destroy it. That night she'll have dreams of future events. But they'll only not come true if she does destroy the black box. And if she picked the day she killed Nat, she'd have symbolic dreams about that day.)
 The Crow Au: You could make up your own Crow story or follow any of the movies/comic books. Cause honestly both Misty and Natalie would make for a great ‘immortal’ character that wants to get revenge on those that kill her lover.   
Wild Things AU: (Kind of similar to 98′ movie. but not really) Nat and Misty come up with a plan to get revenge on their guidance counselor (cause maybe he is a dick). Maybe they end up killing him (or whatever) and now they have to cover it up. Or they just expose him for the dick he is. (yes i know the girls are the villains in this movie. I don’t care cause I’m changing stuff, deal) Maybe the fall in love or in bed along the way. 
Viking AU: Idea coming soon?! I hope lol

STORY IDEA: Soulmates
Soulmates idea:
-Soulmates who feel each other’s pain
-Maybe they simply know their soulmate’s pain level
-Or maybe they do feel what the other feels, but without the actual pain (like a phantom pain)?
Picture this: 
“Argh!” A rubbed his arm. “Why does B keep getting hurt? That’s like the 5th time today?” 
C chuckled, clearly amused. 
“And it’s just small things too, like paper cuts or stubbed toes!”
C laughed and B couldn’t help but join in.
Suddenly B turned pale and quickly jumped out of his seat.
“What’s wrong?” C asks, concerned now. 
B starts to sprint to the exit doors, and C follows close behind. 
“A’s really hurt, something really bad has happened. She’s in a lot of pain...”

For a Second, I Loved Him
Warning, this story is kinda f-ed up and this isn't even the whole thing yet. Just be warned.
For only a second, I loved him. 
Standing in front of him like that, knife seconds from impaling through my chest, he may have thought otherwise. 
This was confirmed when he happily kissed me, muttering how he knew I loved him from the start. 
Maybe, for those few seconds, I loved him. A tad bit longer perhaps, for when he kicked me back and thrusted the blade into his chest, a minute of tears and confusion followed me. 
For a minute, I had loved him. 
But perhaps the time when he had protected me, from his colleagues brandishing their lighted cigarettes and drawn pistols, it was a lot more than a minute that I had felt a strange feeling in the bottom of my chest. This feeling was familiar, one I had felt when he gave me books and gifts for no apparent reason. 
Perhaps for about an hour, I had loved him. 
No, this is a curse, for the man is the one that hurt me, harmed me, who took my mother and I into a world of even more despair, more pain than before. 
But then again, this is not entirely true, for each day I would come to a sudden realization that he is the one who put a roof over our heads, and food in our stomachs. He took to caring for my mother as if it were his own, and caring for me as if I were an angel. 
With all the times I have felt this feeling, not hatred or anger towards him, for about a day or two, I had loved him. 
What is love? I don’t think I can tell the difference between love of the past and present. If I were in the arms of my dearest would I be able to tell it apart from the times I was in his? Perhaps the love I felt for him was different back then than it was now. 
No, I had felt a feeling much stronger than now, a whirlwind of confusion, trauma, and maybe even love. 
Perhaps for a week, no two weeks, maybe even three weeks I have loved him. 
But what about the times he would offer his love and compassion to me? When he asked me if I loved him, I never answered. I barely said a word and yet he was willing to sell his soul to the Devil himself if it were for me. No, there was no denying he loved me, even if it hurt me. Even if he hurt me, his love for me hurt me. 
A month, I had loved him. 
Now I have nothing but doubt when it comes to how I feel. I have buried my true emotions deep within me for years, letting only slivers of them come out so I could provide my new family and my dearest with the love and care they so desperately request of me. My emotions seem worthless to me, and I begin to feel nothing at all. 
Perhaps that is it, I have felt nothing for him. Not a month, nor week, not a day or hour, not a minute or even a split second have I felt the need to care for him, to love him. 
No, this is a lie. 
Sitting in my thoughts I remember everything. Every detail. 
I remember his rough, yet gentle skin. His hair was an odd color, dyeing it in his youth and never bothering to do it again, even as the light pinkish color began to sprout from the jet black nest of hair. He usually had a bandage on his forehead, from when he was injured in an attack. 
Every detail, from the small scar on his lip, to the way he smelt somewhat sweet all the time, even the way he tasted. He was always warm for some reason. 
I could tell you every single thing there is about him. Every single thing there was. 
It’s all gone now. 
He’s gone. 
They tell me he can’t hurt me anymore. The police cleared the house a few months ago, and I ended up receiving one of the pictures of the crime scene. 
One of me and my mother. 
For some reason, I wished for one of him. 
I didn’t ask for a picture of him. A picture of my kidnapper, my abuser, my rapist. I couldn’t tell anyone anything about him other than who he worked for, and the business he was involved in. 
Cause deep down, I had loved him. 
For a second. And a minute. An hour, or a few days or weeks. 
No, I loved him. 
I love him.
But I couldn’t tell them that. I couldn’t. 
And now that the light is gone, the people who once said they cared having to leave me in the dark once again, all that is left is the memories of those who once loved me. 
Who once were living. 
Even though my thoughts recall my mother, or my dearest, in the end my mind is plagued with him. 
The one I loved. 
For a lifetime. 
The story above is the recalling of the past by a now young man at the age of 18, remembering his childhood years living with his kidnapper. His mother was nearly dead, losing her sight and hearing in a car accident. The two lived on the streets for years until being kidnapped by a young man, presented in the story. This young man spent his childhood in deep love with his family, which led to his disownment when he was barely a teenager. Because of this he never loved another soul again, until he met the young child and his mother. 
The full story is not available, because Nathan is being a pain in the ass at the moment (it took him damn near 5 hours to get the motivation to even write this), but this dark and disturbing story might come. Maybe.

Are you looking for a new writing challenge this May? Then why not try the "May Mixtape Challenge"?
This challenge is easy to participate in - all you need is a music playlist and a willingness to let the music guide your writing. Start by shuffling your playlist and selecting the first song that comes up. Listen to the lyrics, the melody, and the overall mood of the song. Let your mind wander and imagine a story that fits with the music.
The beauty of this challenge is that there are no right or wrong answers. You can interpret the song in any way you like and create a story that speaks to you. Maybe the song is about lost love, and it inspires you to write a heart-wrenching love story. Or perhaps the song is upbeat and energetic, and it inspires you to write a story about a character overcoming a difficult challenge. The possibilities are endless.
You can participate in the challenge as often as you like - try it once a week or every day for the entire month of May. It's up to you how much you want to challenge yourself. For an extra challenge, find a random playlist online instead of using your own - this way you can perhaps even discover some new music you've never heard before.
The "May Mixtape Challenge" is a fun and creative writing challenge that is perfect for anyone looking to reignite their passion for storytelling. With no rules or limitations, you can let your imagination run wild and see where the music takes you. So put on your favorite playlist and start writing – you never know what kind of story you might create. Be sure to use the #MayMixtapeChallenge when posting your stories so others can easily find them.
Happy writing!
