Bonus Round 2: AUs

SASO 2015 is over, but this round is perpetually open to new fills (no new prompts).

This round is made for exploration of all those "what-if?" scenarios, like "what if my favorite sports anime was actually a spaghetti western?" or "what if everything was the same except everyone was actually a car?"

This round ends at 7PM on June 27 EDT. Countdown Timer.

RULES

Submit prompts by commenting to this post with an alternate universe idea, along with a ship from one of our nominated fandoms.
An AU could be a canon divergence, e.g. "what if [team] didn't win the Inter High in season 1, but [other team] did instead?", or a completely different setting altogether, e.g.s pop idol AU, coffee shop AU, superheroes AU, etc.
Fill prompts by leaving a responding comment to the prompt with your newly-created work.
Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.

There were loud clanging sounds in the background, as a few teenage boys fought off a monster, but the two that mattered were facing each other, one kneeling on the ground, and the other standing with a hand on one hip, looking somewhat standoffish.
The smaller of the two had a cord bracelet on his wrist, and it was currently pulsing, and giving off a soft orange light.
"What do you mean I'm a 'magical girl'! I'm not even a girl."
"No shit, Hinata. We know that you aren't a girl, it's just a name anyways. But you said yes to the crow, so now, you're part of the team." The dark haired boy narrowed his eyes, and it would have been intimidating if he wasn't wearing a bright orange skirt, with a black bow flaring behind it, and knee high boots that were outright ridiculous. It was a girl’s uniform through and through, even though the kid wearing it obviously wasn’t a girl. He looked familiar, but Hinata couldn't make out his face through the black bird mask he was wearing.
"What? That scrawny thing? All he said was 'Would you like to be magical?' And of course I said yes, who wouldn't want magic?" Hinata was starting to get kind of aggravated now.
"You. Said. Yes. So now, you're a magical girl. You get powers, but you have to use them to save the world. Do you understand?"
"Not really. Who are you anyways, and what kind of powers do you have? And how do you know my name?”
“My name is Kageyama, and I know your name because Crow said you’d be joining us. My powers revolve around using shadows.”
Hinata’s eyes shone. “Wow! What are my powers?”
Kageyama rolled his eyes. We don’t know, and that’s why we need you to transform.”
“Am I going to be wearing a skirt?”
“Yeah.”
“Do I get a mask?”
“Yup.”
“Do I-”
“Shut up and transform already!”
“How do I do that?”
Kageyama grabbed his head and squeezed. “Just say ‘Wings of the Crow, FLY!”
Hinata nodded, and repeated the ridiculous phrase. Sure enough, it worked, and he was lifted up into the air, only for his perfectly reasonable practice clothes to change into a uniform identical to that of Kageyama. He proceeded to blush like crazy.
“Don’t worry. The embarrassment goes away after a few times.” Kageyama grabbed Hinata’s hand and dragged him closer to the fight to watch. There was a tall, muscular guy with black hair, a shorter guy with silvery hair, and some kid who looked nearly bald. “Those guys are Daichi, Suga, and Tanaka. Daichi controls the earth, Suga water, and Tanaka, well, you see...”
Hinata looked over just in time to watch Tanaka spit fire at the monster, and see it burn to ash. Daichi and Suga nodded in relief, and they transformed back into regular high school boys.
“So, this is the new kid? What can he do?” Tanaka grinned, showing off his pointed teeth.
“I... I don’t know.” Hinata jumped into the air, and put his hands out. A brilliant beam of light shot out of his palms, and struck the ground, making small craters, and also nearly singing the top of Suga’s head.
All five of the boys smiled eagerly, wondering what else Hinata could do.
Kageyama put a hand on his shoulder, expression determined. “Hey. Hinata.”
“Y-Yeah?” He gulped nervously.
“Light and Shadow together... I think, no, I know that if we work together... As long as I’m here, you’ll be invincible.”

OMG THIS IS AMAZING

I love the crow-themed squad and their powers and their little orange skirts. Love love love. A+++ will read again <3<3<3
