I briefly considered an AU with a schizophrenic Lyon, actually. I wrote "Emperor" instead, and I'm not entirely sure there's a whole lot of difference.

Yes, definitely. I think there's nothing wrong with wanting to read or write those cute happy AUs. There's clearly an audience for it, though they're not my thing, usually. But like you said, I think if you want to create a thought-out AU, you have to consider that the characters won't be the exact same. I mean, obviously you can't take it too far -- the characters have to be recognizable. But when everything around them changes, why should the characters be the exact same?
