[Meme] random fandom genre or temporal AU summaries

Found via hungrytiger11 and selenak:

Take any one of the fandoms you know I write/rec/read AND give me a type of AU (space opera AU, pirate AU, superhero AU, etc) OR another time period (Ancient Rome, Regency England, etc). I will then explain the gist of the story I would write for that AU.

*grins* Okay. Naruto, space pirates.

Ack, what? *blinks* Hmmm. Okay, how about this?

When Uchiha Sasuke is very young, his brother betrays his space merchant clan to Akatsuki, a notorious group of pirates, and uses their deaths as his bargaining chip to join the association. Sasuke grows up swearing vengeance and joins the space force. While serving under the cruel captain Orochimaru, his ship is attacked by the Seven Leaves, a ship in the colonial rebel fleet which is trying to turn the moons of Saturn and Jupiter into a confederation of independent nations rather than dumping grounds for Earth, Mars, and the long-established mining colonies of the asteroid belts.

Sasuke finds himself a prisoner aboard the Seven Leaves, where he meets the enigmatic captain Kakashi, the absurd weapons officer Naruto, and the alternately demure and fiery pilot Sakura. (Sai and Yamato are the communications officer and engineer, respectively?) Anyway, Sasuke is originally from one of Saturn's moons, so the Leaf contingent think he ought to be on their side against the Inner World Federation; Sasuke, however, sees them as pirates and terrorists rather than freedom fighters.

Except somehow it turns out that the space force has become corrupt and made deals with Akatsuki and other pirates, and so Sasuke ends up becoming a crewmember of the Seven Leaves, protesting all the way. Politics and war ensue.

*sparkles* Oh, that would be /fun/.
