I have a page for my worldbuilding projects that’s a huge WIP, but in the mean time, here’s a list of the ones I can remember off the top of my head! I’ve done my best to split these by genre, although some obviously fit in multiple categories. You can also browse through my "original stuff" tag for things that haven't made it as far as a concrete project, if you can tolerate the mess.
UPDATE: Tumblr changed their tag system, so I had to fix the links. They SHOULD be working, but chronological links don’t cooperate with mobile, so I’ve made them general links. Please add /chrono to the url if you can, a few of these are very weird out of order (looking at you, Boar’s Blood).

Bonus Individual Posts

that one about the silkworm aliens
i have forgotten which characters belong to fate and switch pls he l p (i love them all. so much. ur superhero stories are *chefs kiss*. all ur stories are fabulous. i will never be able to pick a favorite above all others cuz they all just. *gently holds them in my hands*)
the squad: leonard, spark, mort, winnie, edison, donnie, The Boss, duke & duchess
it's the one about psychic linked superheroes getting brainwashed and tricked into thinking they're in a soulmate au!
Okay, soulmate fakeout superheroes universe, take two!
Basic concept: the superhero scene is made up two kinds of powers, fight powers and pilot powers. Pilots can make psychic links that activate or enhance their powers, and these links can be incredibly deep and strong.
A bunch of college-aged heroes get kidnapped a mind wiped by a villain, severing their connections to their pilots, so the effects of breaking those connections can be studied. The symptoms of the severed links are passed off as ‘soulmate connection’, effectively putting the heroes in a false soulmate au while their pilots go all out trying to rescue them.
It’s called Fate and Switch because people enabled my puns
Len decided he wanted to tell Donnie his identity towards the end of their last year of high school. Really, he’s wanted to tell him for a long time, but it was the looming threat of college that made him decide to bite the bullet. Their coordination was based on their specific life circumstances, and there was no way Len could hide his visits to Donnie if he was ON CAMPUS and CRAWLING THROUGH A DORM WINDOW to AVOID HIS ROOMMATE
They’d need to actually plan things, and Len was just.... tired of hiding.
--Leonard and Donnie, the goofball superhero and the classmate who patched him up when he got hurt all through high school without knowing Gargoyle was in his math class.
--Spark and Edison, rivals to friends to lovers and telepathic partners. Edison is Party Girl. It’s a sarcastic pet name, she’s never been to a party in her life.
--Mortimer and Dorothy, an entirely platonic pilot link! Double Trouble adopted Mort as the third in their found family and the whole plot is kicked off by them wanting their candy boy back.
--Winnie and The Boss, a friends with benefits deal whose trick is that they’re BOTH pilots, and their powers together FUCK SHIT UP. The Boss’ link lets her partner do anything, no matter how physically impossible, if The Boss gives the order and knows without a doubt that their partner wants to do it, and Winnie’s power is letting her partner “hide” in her mind, effectively letting The Boss know instantly that Winnie consents to an order (making it work without requiring discussion) and keeping all of her personal information safe as long as Winnie is alive. This one is so long.
Leonard and Donnie’s backstory is so funny to me. There were multiple years where Donnie was playing support to Gargoyle and didn’t know his civilian identity, but LEONARD knew the whole time and had the biggest crush on Donnie. Like, embarrassingly smitten. As far as Len is concerned, that boy hung the moon.
But they weren’t friends in school because Len was a jock and Donnie was a skittish gay art kid who ran the other way if Len or his friends so much as looked at him.
