I was tagged literally ages ago by @softbrio @xstrawmari and @dragonturtle (thanks!) for something that I think was about wips, dream wips, soon-to-be wips?
Anyway, my forced writing vacation has made my brain spark with new ideas, so even though I don’t technically have any wip beyond my current, still unfinished fic, there are a lot of dream/soon-to-be ones!
It’s all coming back to me: one more chapter to go! I’m really reaaaaaally trying to get my ass back on that horse first, but as per usual, my brain gets distracted with other things, but to paraphrase Nathaniel Plimpton, she’s on top of my todo list
Kun Pao chicken: the Mick x Annie food-sharing buddies to friends to eventual lovers fic. Unfortunately, season 4 events have made it extra difficult to tweak what I want for them around, but it shall include a post season 4 resolution of 4.16′s destruction of their blooming friendship.
Disastrous date: An idea that came to mind recently. Post season 4, Beth and Rio start fucking again and decide to give their thing a try and go on a proper date together. It’s a complete disaster. Expect lots of dark irony, emotional angst, miscommunication and cathartic fuck.
5 times Beth [...] and 1 time Rio [...]. A 5 + 1 idea that I have had for a while and that I think would make a great gifset too (the first 5 are canon scenes). I’m not sure I’m ready to disclose what it’s about yet but I have the whole fic planned in my head. Expect a bit of angst, some resolutions of canon loose threads, softness and a happy ending.
Awkward roomates: I mentioned this fic idea before, but it’s still simmering on the backburner. Basically Beth resurfaces in Rio’s life out of nowhere and covered in blood in a post-canon timeline where they have cut bridges completely, and he temporarily shelters her at his place because she’s utterly confused and stressed out. Eventually she develops agoraphobia and never leaves the apartment, and Rio is SO FINE with it. Lots of crankiness, denial and miscommunication in this one.
The prohibition/Some like it hot!AU continuation of my Ghost!AU. One year later Rio is somehow sent back in time in 1919 to prevent Beth’s murder. Obviously she doesn’t remember him but he does and things go down from there. I have no idea of how the general plot would go beyond that, I just know I want to see Stan playing the cello in a jazz band!
The Dean/Rio bodyswap. It WILL happen. One day.
The covid crackfic. No plot, just bullet points.
The Yoga/tantric retreat!AU. Beth and Rio end up being the only single participants to a yoga retreat (they were forced to go for ~reasons~) and bond over their shared disgust for sandals and manbuns.
The Beth x Phoebe continuation of their hotel rooms drinks together. Spoiler: they bone.
The western AU. While this one is technically a WIP already since I have x k words written, I’m thinking about changing the whole initial plot and concept (but keeping the key scenes) so we’ll see how this goes. I have a lot of ideas for it though.
Tagging: well I was tagged long ago enough to consider that anyone can play again so I’ll tag @sdktrs12 @riosnecktattoo @bethsuglywigs @sothischickshe @daydreamstew @querenaxx
