My Underland Chronicles AUs and Upcoming Fics!
Mage AU: Gregor is a light mage; Ares is his familiar. They get into shenanigans. Some of these include accidentally inventing lasers, Gregor being the first known combative light mage, unsupervised laser use for terraforming, Ares being able to change his size, and the questionable use of lasers as party tricks
Uncertain when it'll be done, but I do know the fic is going to be titled Burning Stars
Larry and Angelina find the Underland: Larry and Angelina find the Underland. Perhaps a little bit of a cliche thing to do, but I've found there aren't nearly as many of them as I would like, so I figured I'd take a shot at it. Larry and Angelina find the Underland, freak out in a very loud manner, Ripred causes drama, and Ares mentally repeats over and over how glad he is that Gregor wasn't and still isn’t a ‘shouty one’
Uncertain when it'll be done, but I do know the fic is going to be titled Ares and the Shouty Overlanders
Ghost Ares: Ares comes back as a ghost; Gregor comes to pick him up. His family now has to learn how to live with a giant ghost bat, while Ares has to learn to exist in Virginia. Grace wonders what about her children makes them such weirdness magnets (she loves them, tho.) A crossover between Danny Phantom and The Underland Chronicles, though after Gregor and Ares reunite, the Danny Phantom character pretty much drops off, with only the mechanics of how ghosts work playing a role.
Inspired by ectoblastfromthepast (haloburns)’s fic: Gregor and the Ghost Flier.
Uncertain when it'll be done, but I do know the fic is going to be titled, I’ll settle for the Ghost of you
Canon Soulbonds AU: Essentially, it's going to be the first part of Gregor the Overlander, were it written to be in a soul bond world. I might end up making snippets of later books or possibly filling in space between books, but it will not be its own fully fleshed-out story.
Possessive Ares: A self-indulgent fic pondering what things could have been like if Ares and Gregor were allowed to spend more time together and had longer before the final battle. This one might be a little OOC when it comes to Ares because he is more than a little possessive and dark. Maybe that last part is actually totally in character, and we just don't get to see it, thinking about the scene from Prophecy of Bane.
The human, school-age sold bond AU: Overbonds AU! At the moment, this is just going to be a series of Tumblr posts as I outline it, but I do want to actually write it at some point. Not certain how soon that would be, given that the Tumblr posts are pretty detailed for supposedly just being outlines; I might shelf it for a while once I’m done with the posts.
The Vegas AU: Inspired by a series of asks between me, my sister, and some anons, which I used as a base for my 2020 Flufftober piece: Fluff and Stuff TUC Edition. It’s a really funny AU, but also a pretty complicated one.
My preexisting fics for it are set after the main plot because of that. I do want to write the main story, it's just going to take a bit of time. Because of how complicated it is (and the fact that none of us ever gave it a tag), I’m going to give it its own post.
