I don't usually read modern AUs, but I'm following a cute WIP with teacher!Finn and I recently read a really good and serous take on Finn being a child soldier and Poe a journalist/pilot, which I enjoyed.
For me, I tend to prefer fantasy AUs which is why I don't read a lot of the high school/coffee shop/etc. type of AUs. So I wouldn't mind seen more of those. I'm thinking of prompting once the freeze is over something in the universe of Dragonriders of Pern (never read the series but I did read a long fanfiction AU for it and I want to see these characters in that universe). I also would not say no to more horror inspired AUs, ghosts/vampires/werewolves all that good stuff.
The characters in some sort of 30 Days of Night or The Purge kind of situation, yes.
