Thank you @wolfsbanesparks and @duahhail for tagging me in this and having me go through a crisis of sorting through my folders! I was so ready to post yesterday, but the more I went through my WIP folders, the more I realized I needed to sit down and sort things through immediately! I have a lot of WIPS stacking up due to school and work, so they will be released into the world when time is kind.
Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder and let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, then answer with a snippet or something else about that title!
Most of the WIPs I have are fleshed out with a general outline or have a good chunk of writing for it, but others are just ideas floating around that I like to daydream about during work!

Summary:
The little voices in his head were special. They were gods.
I know I’m about 2 months late, but this was written for Billy Batson Week 2026! Each chapter focuses on one god/prompt!
I could . not. put. this down for 48 hours - stayed up too late, had weird dreams about it, woke up early, and played it while I was supposed to be doing other things. the last several dozen items took a lot of googling, which I do not even begrudge it.
and then. My partner started it. And the SAME THING happened to him.
surprisingly compelling. start when you have free time. like, yanno, a snow day.
oh my god, if you are the kind of person who gets sucked into logic puzzles, do not click that link if you have to do anything/go to sleep in the next couple hours
I was disappointed there weren't more levels, so I made them! The creator's code was under CC Share Alike, so I moved a copy to my website, rustled up 40 new categories, and added buttons so you can generate smaller puzzles!
Pleaseee tell us more about Scene of the Crime! I want to know your thoughts and stories about the Flash!
Ooh yes! I've been wanting to write a Flash centric story for so long!
So for those that don't know, I have a Master's degree in Forensic Science and have a job irl where I regularly attend crime scenes (not as a CSI but I do work alongside them regularly). So I have desperately wanted to incorporate some of that knowledge into a fic about Barry as a forensic scientist!
This fic will revolve around Barry solving a case of missing and murdered metahumans who have been targeted by human traffickers. The point is to highlight how his work as a CSI can help him save the day when his speed can't (though it will come in handy for the eventual rescue mission!)
I also wanted to highlight Barry's position as a metahuman in a society where it is still relatively uncommon. (How do his coworkers think about/talk about metas when they don't know he is one of them? How would people react if they found out? How would he project on the victims knowing he, his family, and his friends could be targets?)
I'm still in the planning stages, working out the clues and such that he would need to discover, but I really want to write it!
I named this fic after my favorite line from a Smosh video that felt really impactful, surprisingly.
This WIP is about Freddy and his brother, Kit, aka, Kid Eternity. It follows the emotional development of Freddy going through his life losing people to what he thought was just circumstances out of his control, but in truth, it was due to an ancient curse from the sea that's been haunting his family for longer than he could imagine. As the last living member of his family, his life is in his own hands to save, as the curse comes barreling down on Freddy to finish the job in a haunting final destination-style adventure sure to stick with him forever.
I have it in mind that this curse was placed on the Freeman family centuries ago, and that only a Freeman could break the curse. Freddy already died once, only surviving past the embrace of death thanks to Captain Marvel sharing his power. Dying twice may just test his luck, and that's not something he ever knew himself to have. This is where Kit comes in. As Kid Eternity, he wants to help balance the fight of fate his younger brother is in, but his position and powers grant him a terrible responsibility that could threaten to endanger Freddy more if he isn't careful.
There's also the fact that he didn't tell Freddy he was essentially a ghost now, and didn't know how to tell him. But to be fair, resurrecting from the dead isn't exactly on any greeting cards besides Easter.
I want to explore the dynamics of the two lost brothers going through an emotional turmoil and journey; Kit just trying to keep his brother alive for longer than he was allowed, and Freddy reaching out to keep Kit away from a death that was never meant to be his.
I'd want this story to center around Freddy mainly, so the other Marvels (Billy and Mary) wouldn't be in the story. They'd still be mentioned! But likely away on a mission so that Freddy can shine in his angst and family curse.
Snippet!
"Sooo...?" Kit held on to the last note, sucking in a breath as if he needed to at all, holding it in the space his lungs used to be. The weight in his chest growing tight. Uncomfortable. Cold. A familar feeling usually, but this time it didn't feel the same. He moved his hair away from his eyes in an effort to do something with his fidgeting hands. "Isn't there...anything you have to say to me?"
"...." Freddy stood still on the building's roof, his eyes refusing to even glance away from the teen standing on the opposite side. A thousand miles a minute was too slow to measure his racing heart and mind right now.
A boy Freddy thought he'd never see again had haunted his dreams for endless nights after his death all those years ago. The thought of the sea swallowing his brother up and dragging him far below the surface, far beyond his reach, had been a suffocating grief to endure.
He thought he let that ghost of the past leave him, but it was Freddy's calling never be at peace from death.
"Okay, you're in shock. Cool. Yeah. Let me give you some inspiration. Uh, so, often in movies people typically ask, 'how are you alive??!' Or 'death couldn't stand you, could he?' And theres also the good old fashioned, 'I thought you were dead, oops, hope you don't mind I married someone else!' But I guess in your case, it would be getting another brother-hey, which reminds me, how is-"
"Are you mad at me?" Freddy's voice broke through whatever Kit was trying to say next.
The teen looked shocked about the question being asked in the first place, worriedly looking around his surroundings for anything he might have missed to be asked that.
Freddy, detecting his surprised unease, cleared his throat and walked closer to his brother, now seeing him in the full light of the moon. He saw how his body wasn't fully there, but almost transparent in a way, fading in and out as if it was a conscious effort, and how unbelievably young he still looked.
Freddy's eyes settled on him longer. He remembered exactly how Kit looked like when he was alive, and the resmeblence was starkly uncanny. However, for a moment, it was almost as if Kit was shorter than before, but that's when Freddy realized something that made a chilling pool of guilt fill his stomach.
Kit stayed the same age he died.
Freddy was the older brother now.
"Kit. Are you here because you're mad I didn't die?"
Creepy and Crawley is my WIP series about Billy teaming up with the Creeper to investigate the plague of mind possessions through Fawcett City, set up by Mr. Mind. The Creeper is definitely one of Captain Marvel's strangest allies, but I liked seeing them team up in a previous comic issue enough to want more of the pair interacting.
The premise is that Jack Ryder sneaks into Fawcett City after being framed for a crime he didn't commit (again) back in Gotham. He figured he'd cool down and do some sightseeing while on the lam, tired of the same old cops chasing him down and then chasing them back while screaming he'd throw them in the harbor--it was just never-ending for him. The man then catches wind of a plan being set in motion after witnessing the local news reporter, Helen Fidelity, acting out of sorts during a live interview, nearly costing her her life. The scandal runs through the city of a well-respected woman going mad on air, but The Creeper is the only one who saw the little green creature invading her mind--the only one who knows that that's the thing that got him framed back in Gotham in the first place! Too bad he's too mad to believe, but there's someone in Fawcett who's bound to believe him. Because if the kid doesn't, he'll spill his secret identity to the world.
With Jack/The Creeper wanting to settle a personal grievance against Mr. Mind and squish the bug under his boots, is he really the one to trust to help save Fawcett? Maybe not, but Billy may not have a choice, not just with his secret identity looming over his head, but also with how fast the city is losing to a plague of Mr. Mind's worms. The two need to figure out how Mr. Mind is spreading his influence and catch the villain before it's too late.
Best Behavior is just an idea for now, one that I think I might make into a comic instead, but it is essentially a sleepover fic with the Super Sons being invited to the Bromfield house for some good old Fawcett City fun! Billy and Mary have to promise their parents that they wouldn't be reckless with their magic and would be on their best behavior for their guests.
Well, to be fair, it does start out that way. The super sons even make a good impression on the Bromfields with how respectful and well-behaved they are, but when magic is introduced to the kids' party, things get out of hand fast. The twins find a magical artifact they forgot to return to the Rock of Eternity before the party started, and with how dangerous the artifact could be in the wrong hands, the two decide to make a quick trip before their parents wake up. Not wanting to leave their guests bored and alone in their house, Billy and Mary assume it would be okay for them to tag along on their midnight errand. It would only take 10 minutes anyway, not any more difficult than a run to the corner store, really...
A simple errand that was meant to take 10 minutes, however, instead takes up almost the entire night, as the group of kids must navigate their way out of the Rock of Eternity when an old prisoner breaks free, all before the sun comes up and before their parents wake up! They promised they would be on their best behavior, and while they weren't keeping that promise, their parents didn't need to know that!
Not a real snippet for now, because it's just an idea, but here are a few lines from a scene I've been thinking about:
"Did you hear that?" Damian halted in his steps, holding his hand out to stop Jon next to him. The sound of the sudden stop in their movements still echoed through the cold cavern.
"...No...What did you hear?" Jon swished his head around, thinking he was right about the Rock of Eternity looking like the shoot for a horror movie starring him as the first victim. It wasn't at all like the Fortress of Solitude or the Batcave; this place had its own kind of weird atmosphere going on. Something he could feel in his gut that maybe gave weight to what his dad thought about magic being troublesome. He distracted himself looking around for the source of the sound that Damian mentioned enough that the actual sound of Damian snapping his fingers caught him off guard.
"I heard the sound of you being wrong. Look, those two are probably just pranking us. There's no way what they told us was real-"
