I have this idea that hasn't left my head since the end of C2 and I need to let it out. I am of the mindset that the intricate web of wizard spies were kind of overlooked and underpowered towards the end of the campaign AND I can't stop thinking about them. Like they were spoken of as if they were an urban legend... So what happened to them in the aftermath? They were basically mist. How could they possibly catch all of them?
So here's some prompts that I want to write but have never gotten around to or can't write because of my disorganized head.
Prompt #1:
What happens next.
Volstruckers in the aftermath of Trent's capture. What happens to a shadow network of wizard spies when their leader is taken into custody? Do they surrender, slink back into the shadows, or reorganize into an independent spy network?
Prompt #2:
So pretty much the same as the above but cozy second chance romance for a bunch of assassins.
Haha So we follow a volstrucker who disappears into the shadows and reemerges as a tavern owner who refuses to look back on their time as an assassin spy until a familiar face pops into their tavern for a drink.
Anyway I still am fascinated by the wizard spies and wish we spent like...so much more time with them.
Give me an EXU series on former volstruckers finding their way in this worlddd. Would they all be ludinus followers!? Would the leftover volstruckers be on the moon?!
Ugh... Every few months I get wizard spy brain rot and it takes a while to push through the hyper fixation.
I feel like Albus was a little reckless during World War I. Not feeling he have much to live for outside of teaching, being mostly alone in the world. So, he decides to have a talk with one Captian Mansfield Cummings. The director of the newly formed British secret service. Thus he turns his talents for magic, codes, and secrecy to aiding the war effort. As well as getting surprisingly good at hand to hand combat... And inspired a certain author to writes stories about is similarly skilled and dangerous british spy, even if got the womanizer thing dead wrong.
Gellert, on the other hand needs something to occupy his time while waiting for this war to finish up so he can get on with his plans. So he decides to brush up on his healing magic and enlists as a field doctor. Healing people on all sides, soldiers and civilians a like. Later he explains to Vinda that it was mainly to fill the time and make himself look good to potential followers. But the various letters to him from patients thanking him years later after helping them return to some semblance of normalcy after life changing injuries and his skill of knowing exactly what to do when Queenie gets over stimulated by hearing everyone's thoughts says otherwise.
