Some Neighbor AUs

some neighbor AUs

because everyone loves neighbor AUs

I just found out that you’re the asshole who has been stealing my coupons from the Sunday newspaper every week and I am going to make. you. PAY!! AU

You’re mowing your lawn at 5AM and that is completely unacceptable and I’m going over to your house to yell at you about how unacceptable this is AU

I always see you doing weird shit at ridiculous hours of the night and it makes me feel better because I do weird shit in the middle of the night too AU

You greeted me in the strangest way this morning when I was getting my mail and we’ve been neighbors for like 3 years and this is the first time you’ve ever spoken to me I have no idea what is going on AU

It’s like 3AM and my roommate locked me out of the house and I forgot my keys and I’m really drunk pls take pity on me and let me crash at your place for the night o’ neighbor of mine AU

You’re a famous viner and I constantly witness you doing the weirdest things AU

You live in the apartment above me and your water pipe burst and is flooding into my apartment and you can hear me yelling so you come down to my apartment to see what’s going on and witness me standing in my kitchen/bathroom/whatever, holding an umbrella, screaming at the water pouring out of my ceiling and crying because I have no idea what to do and we both just kinda stand there in shock as my stuff gets ruined and you let me crash in your apartment until my apartment gets fixed because you feel bad AU

You keep borrowing shit from my tool shed without even asking AU

I just moved in next door and I’m like 99% sure you’re insane AU

Every year we both go all out for holiday decorating and we’ve developed this rivalry so intense that we’re p much famous in our town for it AU

We’re both single parents and our kids are best friends with each other AU

In which we live in a relatively rich neighborhood and during summers we obnoxiously sit in loungers, drinking lemonade, and ogle the cute pool boy together AU

The walls in this apartment building are really thin and I can hear you having mental breakdowns all the time are you okay? AU

You’re one of those annoying people who tries to make casual conversation all the time and brings people baked goods and stuff and I just want to mind my own business but somehow we end up being friends or something?? AU

This is the first time I’m living on my own and my parents decided to spontaneously drop by in a few hours to see how I’m doing pls let me borrow some cleaning supplies and food so that my parents will believe I’m a functioning, responsible adult who totally cleans and doesn’t just have condiments and eggs in my fridge AU

We have weekly get-togethers where we gossip about our other neighbors AU

Your dog keeps pooping on my lawn AU

You just moved in next door and you’re convinced your house is haunted so you seek refuge at my house when you get freaked out and eventually rope me into investigating for paranormal activity and the only reason I’m doing any of this is because you’re really freaking cute AU

All of our other neighbors are crazy so we bond over that fact that we’re the only normal people on the whole street AU

feel free to add to this

AU ideas:

‘I totally wasn’t breaking into your apartment I locked myself out of mine and I’m directly above yours so I picked your lock and was gonna use the fire escape and climb in through my window’ AU

'You’re new to the building so I have to tell you that I’m a registered sex offender but I was eighteen and they were seventeen and it was a really big misunderstanding please let me explain’ AU

'Every night I go down to the lobby vending machines I smell the best cooking ever coming from your apartment and it’s 12 pm but I’m really hungry and the vending machines aren’t cutting it for me’ AU

'You were dragged into my video game competition and I was beat for the first time in years I have to stalk you and beg you to play me until I can beat you’ AU

'My next door neighbor asking my to check up on their apartment while the away and feed their animals I broke a vase and your my other neighbor please help me’ AU

'I can’t pass stray animals so once a week you see me going into my apartment with a different animal before I find them a home and you decide you want one’ AU

'Everyday I hear you curse at your computer next door lucky I can help you so I barge in and decide to put and end to this but I also see all the porn you watch’ AU

'You see me coming out of my apartment dressed as the opposite gender for a party and get confused the next day when I’m not dressed up and still attractive’ AU
