Fuck coffee shop AUs. I need more hardware store AUs.
Give me home improvement AUs where one person is DIYing cluelessly and the other is trying to teach them how to use what they're buying without destroying their house.
"We bought a fixer upper together" AUs where the big plot tension occurs in the middle of a kitchen renovation where one party loses it and goes out to sleep in a tent in the yard.
AUs where there was only one wrench.
Is it even possible to have only one wrench??? (I have like five hammers, a couple of slip-joint pliers, a dozen or so screwdrivers, and that's not counting the box in the storage unit that weights about 30 pounds and is FULL of tools. There's a hand drill, and a hacksaw frame (I put it in), and at least one caulking gun (I put that in, too). And so many screwdrivers...
.... @heymerle is already starring in this AU in some universe as the tool-savvy half.
I have two large rolling tool chests. One with tools, one full of fasteners, all drawers clearly marked... you know the clueless person is going to cause a melt down by not putting stuff back... or putting it in the wrong drawer. AU where clueless is not allowed to touch the tool chests (or bench power tools) and has to make due with whatever overflow tools are in the 20gal totes.
