**SPBNR has inspired many AUs (yes, an AU of an AU), and all of them can be found here for easy link access! Scrolling through the Tumblr tags and Discord server reveal more of the origins, but here are links to pages describing each!**

The AU Google Doc

## **List of AU Formats/Types**

Some AUs will use multiple formats; types can be combined

### **(SVC) SPBNR but *[insert S!verse character here]* is in the M!verse with Smith**

This is a rather self-explanatory premise; instead of Smith going alone, one or multiple people from the S!verse are with him. Ex. Smith & Boreas AU ; Calypso AU ; Aki AU ; Monty

### **(ST) SPBNR but *Smith* is now a *[insert thing here]***

This one is, again, self-explanatory; Smith ends up in the M!verse as some non-human thing due to a law that there can’t be two human Kais in the same universe. The mega weapon ends up magically transforming Smith into something else (ex. an animal, a robot, or even a Lego- go nuts!)

### **(RT) SPBNR but *Red* is now a *[insert thing here]***

Same premise as the above one but it’s Red instead of Smith.

### **(SRT) SPBNR but *both* Red and Smith are *[insert thing here]***

Just the above two but now it’s both of them

### **(PL) Proximity Logic**

This specific variety of AU is where both Smith and Red are transformed, however, who is human and who isn’t depends on how far away they are from each other. (Keep in mind these numbers are very flexible and are to only be used as a vague guide). Occassionally the transformations can get out of since, leading to random shifts (can also be controlled by time of day or day of the week)

* 50+ ft. Red is affected
* 49ft-41ft neither are affected (the 'safe zone')
* 30ft or below Smith is affected

### **(Ki/D) Kia/Dragon Logic (Ki/D)**

This variant takes any of the above types and puts Smith and/or Red in the mindset of whatever they are with fuzzy memories, much like how the

* Any varient of the Kia AU has Smith (and/or Red) with the mind of a child and very little of his memories fully intact.
* The Android AU variant of this has Smith behaving like Pixal in S3
* KD's Dragon Kai AU

### **(Sg!) Smith Garmadon (Sg!)**

Essentially this is any of the above AUs but Smith (or Smith and someone else) wake up in Garmadon’s volcano with no memories and get basically adopted by him

### **(SAU) SPBNR but the *S!Verse* is Different**

The s!verse was already an AU version of itself. Can have similar results to the “SPBNR But Smith is Now (a) \_\_\_\_” except Smith was always like that (some examples: the s!verse was always Lego while the m!verse is not ; the s!verse is a winged!verse)

### **(MAU) SPBNR but the *M!Verse* is Different**

Above logic except while the s!verse remains the same as canon, the M!Verse is changed into an AU version of itself. Can but does not need to be combined with the “SPBNR But Smith is Now (a) \_\_\_\_” format to adjust him to the world better. (Some examples: the Mer AU ; the ‘m!verse is Lego while s!verse is not’ AU ; the ‘all the M!ninja except White are nindroids’ AU)

### **(SMAU) SPBNR but *Both* Verses are Different**

Both realms are AUs versions of themselves, often times with subtle differences (ex. both are a mer AU, but the s!verse have it less common/aren't at peace between mers and humans while the m!verse is), or major differences (ex. the s!verse is a winged AU while the m!verse is a mer AU)

### **(RC) Good Chen / Redeemable Chen**

AUs where Chen isn’t a massive bully and is just a decent human being that does not despise Lloyd/is friends with the M!Ninja without knowing they’re ninja. Some AUs will pull the 'Wes Effect' where he'll see shenanigans and secrets but nobody believes him (similar to Red). Sometimes Chen is simply putting on a mask for show because of peer-pressure and doesn't actually want to bully the dorksquad, and other times he's just less of a douche and Smith helps him see the error of hs ways
