so...I've been thinking about working on a couple more aus/fics.
I know what y'all're gonna say - "dude, you don't even have regular updates on the two fics you're currently writing - why would you want to write more fics? you won't update those regularly either"
I know, and I'm sorry for that. it's just...my thoughts are that if I keep all my focus on those and crank out chapters like there's no tomorrow, then I'm going to burn out sooner or later. this happens all the time when I start working on something and I'm trying to take things slow so it doesn't happen for these fics.
but also, I'm getting bored in between working on the Found Family au fic and the Jimnoth au fic so I'm thinking...maybe if I have another fic to work on, then I can cure a little bit of that boredom without burning out. ya know?
Corrupted Jimmy: after the raid on the Cod Empire, Jimmy loses everyone, all his people, and in his moment of despair, Xornoth is there promising retribution for the wrongs committed against him. he accepts a deal and falls from grace and disappears, corruption spreads and alters to the point where even the water isn't safe. some canon things like ice powers and axolotl-Lizzie still happen. Jimmy is the one to kill the dragon and free Xornoth. Cod are infected with corruption and salmon are killed.
Among Us - Empires crossover: the cast of Empires in an Among Us setting [ie, SPACE and on a spaceship, some liberties will be taken]. siblings Lizzie and Jimmy are Imposters, sent by their people on missions to wipe out crews. their next mission in to infiltrate Captain Pixlriff's ship and take his Crew down as they've done to others. but they quickly find that this crew isn't the same as the others - they're all a little bit weird and somewhat chaotic. Lizzie finds love in a weird little man named Joel and Jimmy finds the friends he's always wanted [and maybe some love too in a certain teal-haired man]. Joey is Joey, ie big simp for an Imposter. Xornoth is here as well, though human and named Conner [he tries to get everyone to call him "Xornoth" tho and they play along].
Watcher Grian: Hermitcraft season 6. the Watchers sent Grian to a random server when their base was attacked by other Watchers - they had taken a Player from the Universe and would face punishment for said action. Grian has no memory of life before the Watchers so as far as he knows, he's a Watcher and the only family he's ever known [the two Watchers who took him from Evo] has been killed. he finds himself alone on the server, just barely managing to survive, until one day a Player [Xisuma] enters the world. more Players [the other Hermits] follow and Grian doesn't know what to do, at first. he decides to just Watch them for now but his Watching only fuels his curiosity and soon, he starts studying them and watching them build. Watcher Grian is a curious guy and a perfectionist so if he sees a mistake, he fixes it, but he only does so when nobody is around - the hermits actually know he's there but keep their distance for fear of scaring him off, plus, he leaves little rhymes on signs for them.
Sleep-Deprived Sausage/Jausage/Jausmajor: takes place after Sausage returns from the spirit realm and he's trying to make amends with those he hurt - this is a more difficult task than what c!Sausage went through [I like canon but I think Sausage was forgiven just a little too quickly by some folks]. Sausage suffers from nightmares and gets little sleep. eventually, he decides that to combat the nightmares, he just won't sleep at all - hence the "sleep-deprived" part. this causes all sorts of problems like hallucinations, weakened immune system, loss of time, etc and it affects him greatly. he and Jimmy are working together for the first time in ever and he's unwell, he collapses and Jimmy is there to help him. Jimmy calls in Scott and together they take care of Sausage, though it's very reluctant on Scott's part because of the kidnapping, but he helps because Jimmy asked him to.
Dragon-Mom Grian: pretty much regular Hermitcraft 8 where Grian makes the game of Tegg. the game starts out fine but as time goes on, Grian starts to become anxious whenever the egg is in someone else's hands. he finds himself doing bird things like making nests and his wings change color to resemble the void [something he hates because it reminds him of the Watchers - unlike in WatcherGrian, he hates the Watchers here]. Grian also seems to become more suspicious of non-Boatem people when they wander into Boatem, and he becomes a little more protective over Boatem/its inhabitants. these changes continue even after the game is won and Grian gets the egg back. the Boatem members eventually realize that Grian is basically following dragon/bird/mom instincts.
if you wouldn't mind, maybe helping me out on deciding which one(s?) to work on alongside Found Family and Jimnoth?
