Stories you want to write
But for some reason haven’t (yet)
@anomaliewrites tagged me in this little activity, and...well....here’s the pandora’s box.
Tagging: @brightephemera (cause I know you are bursting at the seam with ideas!) @msviolacea, @ivalane @raelly-writing, @frostmantle And whoever happens to see it and wants to share all their brain worms. FFXIV (they’re all for ffxiv :P ) MSQ spoilers below.
I’m also putting this under a cut...cause.....so much.
These are from my Blood Lily Series, that are re-telling's of the MSQ with embellishment, and with character and ship focus, I’ve cut and paste these ideas directly from my ideas folder. each fic builds on the last.(also there's a lot of angst...cause I don’t play nice with my OC’s.)
Crystal Path - Thancred x wol, Lahabrea x wol (non explicit dubcon-noncon,) G’raha x wol, ARR retelling includes CT and up to patch 2.3, Lahabrea uses Thancred and Wol’s feeling against them, undermines and gaslights wol, attempted murder after Titan. Recovery, healing, complicated feelings post possession. Angst, G’raha and Wol have a one night stand the night before he locks himself in the tower. What could have been, bad end. Long fic From Ishgard with Love - Aymeric x wol, Haurchefant x wol, love triangle, HW retelling (starting at patch 2.4) with more romance, more balls and dancing, angst and pining, happy ending. Long fic. End of the Song - Aymeric x wol, Thancred x Hilda, post HW patch content, engagement, growing apart, eventual break up, angst, surprise pregnancy, bad end, pining, love isn’t enough. Long fic.
Eye of the Storm - Hien x wol, miscarriage, depression, using sex as an unhealthy coping mechanism, uses Hien, feral towards Zenos (to kill not fuck.) ANGST, WoL is a mess, fear of feelings and commitment, bad end. Stormblood retelling (through post StB patch content.) Long Fic.
In Shadows - Emet-Selch x wol, Thancred x wol, Shadowbringers retelling to the end of patch 5.1. Unhealthy relationships, depressed, self-destructive WoL. WoL is an even bigger mess. Directs anger at Exarch and Scions, finds solace with Emet. PTSD from near Lightwarden possession, loses ability to use light aspected magic, Thancred tries to help, pining .BAd End. Long fic. Now I know what you’re thinking, Whimsy, what the fuck. Angst is cathartic, and I like exploring the impact of trauma (also shipping your wol with everyone is self care.) Shiloh was pretty good and well adjusted before becoming the WoL, all her trauma occurs in canon (and some HC)
Next: Multiple happy endings (otome paths?) as each one features a different LI, cause I can’t make up my mind, and am in multishipping hell.. They all jump off from the same point at the end of Shadowbringers the end of 5.1, and explores how each LI would deal with Shiloh’s trauma, and how Shiloh would come to her recovery in each different scenario. (fyi my current wip From Shadows -Estinien x wol, is one of these fics.)
New Dawn - Hien x WoL, WoL ends up in Doma to learn the way of the samurai to compensate for her loss of magic. Hien agrees to teach her, on the condition that she also takes the time to heal. Working through their past “relationship”, forgiveness, letting go of shame, and guilt. Long Fic.
The Long Way - Thancred x WoL, Thancred helps WoL through no longer being able to use magic, offering to teach her daggers/gunblade (he can relate) FINALLY working out their long time pining, simmering feelings, and shared trauma. Long Fic.
Dear Hope - Aymeric x WoL, WoL returns to Ishgard to learn Mashinistry to help compensate for no longer being able to use magic. Inevitably runs into Aymeric, rekindling friendship, feelings still present, tentative steps towards revisiting relationship, discuss needs, and expectations, healing, forgiveness, shared pain and trauma, understanding and compromise. Long Fic.
Canon divergent, AU, These two idea, exist outside the Blood Lily universe.
Body guard modern AU - Zenos x WoL. The Garlean royal family has a problem, and it's that the crown prince's guards keep quitting. They've exhausted all the various private security companies within Garlemald, and the emperor is forced to hire from a foreign company. The Scions of Eorzea come highly recommended, and promise to send their best. Their best, is a seasoned special forces veteran, a former mixed martial arts champion, highly discrete, and highly professional. Looks good on paper. No one expects the 5'2" slip of a woman who breezes into the palace, particularly not Zenos. And after she slams him on his back in an impromptu spar, he's smitten. Second chances - emet-selch x wol. Canon divergent, Azem’s stone has some of Hades aether, and was not in fact a one time use. Sad WoL wishes on it again with all her heart not expecting anything, Ghost Hades shows up, no longer tempered by Zodiark, conversations, offers to help her. Figure out a way to get his fractured soul into one of the clones in Garlemald so he can live one last lifetime with wol as her ally. One last lifetime with his love before he embraces a true death, happy ending. Long Fic.
NSFW one shot ideas....cause....I gotta.
Dom Artoirel - Artoirel x wol. Collar, Bj, punishment, hard fucking. One shot
Edging Haurchefant - Haurchefant x wol. Make the good boy feral, orgasm denial, edging, praise, BJ, face sitting, letting him loose to take his pleasure when she’s done and he fucks her into the ground. One shot
Pre-Doma Castle fucking - Hien x wol, drunk passion, one shot. Considering how slow a writer I am, and how nearly all of these damn ideas are long fic....who know if I’ll get to them all. I want to try though, I’m stupid excited about every one of them.
