Line 4:
There has been only one AU shown in canon: ''[[It's a Miserable Life]]'' in ''[[Beavis and Butt-head (TV series)|Beavis and Butt-head]]'', where we see what [[Highland]] would be like if Butt-head had never been born. In it, the whole town is a nicer, more prosperous place, where [[Principal McVicker]] is a calm and happy man with hair, [[Stewart Stevenson]] is assertive, and Beavis is nice - and most importantly, Daria is a happy, well-adjusted girl who volunteers willingly, and has a boyfriend [[List of background characters#"Daria's boyfriend"|from her class]] because Butt-head's antics hadn't put her off boys.
The [[Alter Ego|alter egos]] in the ''Daria'' credits show AU versions of the characters for a laugh: Daria as a happy cheerleader, O'Neill in Vietnam, Kevin as a punk rocker.
''Deliberate'' AU stories are seen more often since the show went off the air. A number of fanfics done while the series was ongoing - like [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]]/[[Trent Lane|Trent]] [[shipper]]s in which they actually date - have ended up as ''de facto'' AUs due to divergences in canon, but may or may not have been intended at the time to be an AU. A notable exception is [[Kara Wild]]'s [[Driven Wild Universe]], which was deliberately intended to split away from the ongoing canon.
