Everyone sounds the same
Change what each speaker wants from the conversation, then test the words and the silence.
The AU feels like names on strangers
Choose which motives survive and which experiences make the new version different.
My ideas won’t connect
Follow one changed decision through its consequences instead of adding more twists.
I want to give them another chance
Find a missing moment or change a decision, then follow what that makes possible.
The draft isn’t what I meant
