Tower of Moiras

"The star of the little king" Main account, fanfic posts still in development. Lots of tragedy because we love Greek romances. Secondary account: Argonauts Across The Stars

Finally, the vote

Well, it's finally been a week since I posted the last story, so we're officially starting the voting.

I think the voting will be open for a week because I believe that's the maximum limit the poll allows, but if I'm wrong, we'll figure it out as we go.

Apparently, you can't vote multiple times, so this will be difficult for all the undecided folks.

The story with the most votes will have priority. If it turns out to be relatively short, I'll try to publish it this year. If it ends up being one of those projects that accidentally grows into a 20, 40, or more chapter saga, then it will be scheduled for next year.

However…

Would you like me to post a short draft of chapter one of the winning story?

I ask because I feel it would be a good way to show that I'm actually working on it and didn't mysteriously disappear into a forest to research irrelevant information for a three-line scene.

I'm also open to other ideas.

As for the other projects, I suppose it will depend on the support they receive and, probably, a second… or third vote.

I have too many ideas.

Joining new fandoms was a mistake.

Anyway, I'll leave the stories here along with their links in case you want to reread the plots before voting.

Fanfics up for voting:

• "Yesterday We Were Younger" — Jercy (Percy Jackson and the Olympians)

• "For Hygiene Reasons, Please Do Not Kiss the Toad" — Jegulus (The Marauders)

• "The Sky Is Violet" — Sengen (Dr. Stone)

• "The Last Plié" — Huskerdust (Hazbin Hotel)

• "The Spirit of the North" — Zukka (Avatar: The Last Airbender)

Choose carefully....

"Yesterday We Were Younger" — Jercy

"For Hygiene Reasons, Please Do Not Kiss the Toad" — Jegulus

"The Sky Is Violet" — Sengen

"The Last Plié" — Huskerdust

"The Spirit of the North" — Zukka

Remaining time: 6 days 5 hours

And I guess that's all.

Vote.

Have fun.

And choose wisely because I will suffer writing any of them and I promise that if the story demands it, you too will cry with anguish.

[towerofmoiras]

So I decided to try watching Voltron.

Originally, it was because of Klance, I won't lie.

But also because it's a show about space, aliens, and space adventures, and I'm incapable of resisting anything related to outer space.

What I find incredibly funny is that the first difficulty I encountered was discovering that a Netflix Original series isn't available on Netflix.

Anyway, the fandom was quite kind and helped me find where to watch it.

But it's still very ironic that the first thing I see when I start the show is the "Netflix Original" logo while I'm watching it on a platform that's definitely not Netflix.

[towerofmoiras]

Zukka Fanfic

Working Title:

“The Spirit of the North” (although I honestly doubt that will end up being the final title)

Plot:

Zuko is born without fire, or so it is believed.

That doesn't stop him from fighting in an Agni Kai, it doesn't stop his father from burning his face at the tender age of 12, it doesn't stop anything, really.

It only gets him banished.

Thanks to his uncle, he doesn't die, and manages to reach the North Pole.

No problem: he wasn't a firebender.

But he couldn't live there for free.

So he becomes the princess's bodyguard, because of his swordsmanship.

Yue can't be around other children her age.

They bully her for her white hair, for being a princess,

and of course, for being stillborn.

So when her little bodyguard watches over her, everything falls into place.

After all, spirits are close.

And Zuko was touched by them, though he doesn't know it.

And Yue… always wanted a brother.

—

Possible tags: Zukka, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Found Family, Sibling Yue & Zuko, Spirit Touched Zuko, Zuko Without Firebending, Swordmaster Zuko, Blue Spirit Zuko, Banished Zuko, Slow Burn, Mutual Pining, Misunderstandings, Identity Issues, Fire Nation Discrimination, Emotional Damage, Yearning, Zuko Needs a Hug, I Need a Hug.

It will probably end up being a moderately long project. Definitely more than 20 chapters and probably well over 20k words because I already have several specific scenes planned for a while.

I also need to admit that I listened to a lot of Hamilton while thinking about this story, so I suppose there will be angst; consider yourself warned.

And yes, there are already complete scenes in my head that have Hamilton songs, and I really hope for future edits, or I'll do them myself.

Well, this would be the last of the five drafts I'll post for the first vote, I guess.

I'll probably post the vote a week later, though I'm not sure yet because I usually schedule these things in advance, and it will depend a lot on my schedule and exams.

Anyway, I hope you'll comment and like if you enjoyed any of the ideas. I'll definitely keep them in mind when planning my projects for next year.

And like I said, if any project ends up being short or if I find some free time, there's a chance it might be posted sooner.

By the way… yes, I'll probably upload more drafts after the first vote.

I think you can already guess why I keep saying "first" vote.

Getting into new fandoms gave me way too many ideas.

[towerofmoiras]

Huskerdust Fanfic

Working Title:

“The Last Plié”

Plot: Angel Dust is a renowned dancer in Versailles, France, in the early 1900s, just after World War I and only a couple of years before tragedy struck again. Angel Dust seems to be reverting to his former self, Anthony, the young man who arrived in France with a dream that now holds him captive.

Huks, a former soldier and army commander, lost everything to gambling after his great exploits in the war. Now, he frequents seedy bars and runs errands for the "announcer," targeting traitors to the nation. But then he begins to look beyond the stage, into the theater's wings, where behind the curtains and where the applause fades, he finds Anthony.

—

Possible tags: Huskerdust, historical AU, postwar trauma, angst, pain/comfort, addiction, substance abuse, mental health issues, emotional dependency, bittersweet ending, open ending, healing, grief, slow burn, trauma recovery, dancing angel dust, veteran shell, existentialism, everyone needs therapy.

It would probably be a long project if I ever actually write it. Definitely more than 15 chapters and probably way over 10k words because I want to do a lot of research on ballet, postwar France, and some mental health-related topics so I can write it properly.

I also want to clarify that this would be one of the most emotionally demanding projects I have planned (for now).

It's going to deal with a lot of trauma, grief, addiction, and mental health, so I'll probably need to include some specific warnings at some point.

Originally, this was a story I wanted to publish earlier, but it ended up being shelved while I worked on other projects, and honestly, I still have a lot of affection for it.

And yes, even though it contains a lot of anguish, at its core, it's still a story about learning to keep living.

[towerofmoiras]

SenGen Fanfic

Working Title:

“The Sky Is Violet”

Plot:

Finding your soulmate is easy. It's simply telling a lie and that's it.

If you can't lie, congratulations. You've found them.

Perhaps that's why it was easy for Gen to find Senku.

He was incapable of lying to him, though not of hiding the truth.

After all, he didn't become the most famous mentalist of the modern (now ancient) era for nothing.

He knew how to manipulate his words, circumvent the truth, and conceal everything without actually lying.

Or so he thought.

When he was finally ready to confess, he chose the simplest phrase possible:

"The sky is blue."

When he said it to Senku, expecting confirmation, everything he believed shattered.

"No, the sky isn't blue."

Senku wasn't his soulmate.

—

Possible tags: Soulmate AU, Senku Ishigami/Gen Asagiri, Misunderstandings, Angst with Happy Ending, Mutual Pining, Light Angst, Science Shenanigans, Identity Crisis, Emotional Constipation, Getting Together, Senku Ishigami Says Things Incorrectly Correctly.

It will probably be a one-shot… although knowing myself and considering I need to include scientific concepts, it will probably end up being between 5k and 10k words.

The idea came about because I was reading a lot of Zukka's Soulmate AUs and I really liked how creative and specific some of the soulmate concepts can be.

I don't really know who was the first person to create this specific idea of ​​"not being able to lie to your soulmate," because I found several similar versions, and since I'm new to writing, I don't know if I should give credit to anyone in particular. So, if there's anything I should do, just let me know in the comments.

I also want to clarify that this would be one of the few projects I have that doesn't involve devastating amounts of emotional trauma, so yes, I am trying to balance things out a bit.

[towerofmoiras]

Jegulus Fanfic

Working Title:

“For hygiene reasons, please do not kiss the toad”

Regulus Black works day and night serving food, putting up with unbearable customers, and trying not to poison the businessmen who keep rejecting his restaurant for reasons that definitely have nothing to do with him being a Black.

Well, a disowned Black, which is apparently worse.

Because it turns out that leaving an absurdly wealthy family has consequences when you're a good person, Regulus. Even so, he has a three-step plan. Work, save, and open the restaurant he promised to build with his Uncle Alphard. He doesn't need romance, adventures, or free time, despite his friends' insistence.

And he definitely doesn't need to kiss a suspicious toad under duress, because apparently putting laxatives in the pastries of some idiotic businessmen can count as poisoning. Oh yeah, he forgot to mention that the toad was talking and claiming to be a prince.

Yes… maybe Regulus should take a break.

James Potter never wanted to be a prince; it's too many responsibilities when all he wants to do is play music with his friend Padfoot. Of course, he least wanted to be a toad.

And he definitely didn't want to end up lost in the swamps with a boy who clearly wanted to kill him after he too had been transformed into a toad.

In his defense, no one had warned him that dark voodoo sorcerers could be so charismatic.

—

Possible tags: Princess and the Frog AU, Fairy Tale AU, Royalty AU, Chef Regulus Black, Prince James Potter, Jegulus, Black Brothers Angst, Past Sirius Black & Regulus Black, Regulus Black & Lily Evans Friendship, Wolfstar, Everyone Lives AU, Humor, Romance, Slow Burn, Mild Angst, Emotional Constipation, Idiots in Love, Mutual Annoyance, Magical Shenanigans, Evil Tom Riddle, No Beta We Die Like Regulus in the Lake.

It would probably be a relatively short project compared to others I have planned, although knowing me, it would surely end up having more than 10 chapters and a lot more words than it should.

I also need to clarify that Lily would have a Charlotte-type role here because I NEED more fanfics where Lily and Regulus are platonic best friends they love to talk badly about people because, you know, people are sometimes stupid.

[towerofmoiras]

This is one of the fanfic ideas I'll probably put to a vote for my projects next year.

As I mentioned before, I'm trying to organize my projects before I start publishing because I have too many ideas piled up, and I want to know which ones you're most interested in.

If any of them end up being relatively short (like 10 chapters or less), there's a chance they'll be released this year, although for now, most are planned for 2027 or later due to time constraints and exams.

This would be one of my ideas: a time-travel fanfic in the Percy Jackson fandom, and yes, the main pairing would likely be Jason Grace/Percy Jackson because I didn't find enough fanfics of them, and I'm a multishipper, so I decided to do the work myself.

---------------------------------------------

Provisional title:

"Yesterday We Were Younger"

Plot:

How do I start this?

Like this!

You see, I didn't want to travel through time.

After years of fighting monsters, being trained by Lupa, having my memories erased, and fulfilling a great prophecy, I thought that would be enough. You know, a little, permanent vacation from being chased by monsters or crazy gods.

Sure, until my god half-brother became human as punishment from our father. Of course, I had to help him complete a crazy mission to get his divinity back. Great, family bonding time!

Well, not really… You see, I died on that mission.

And when I finally closed my eyes, I thought I was finally going to rest in Elysium.

Maybe watching Nico arrive furious to complain that I died young. Something like that.

Well, here's a hint: my life had never been easy, so it wasn't strange to hear mystical voices (of course not, nothing strange), see too many lights, receive a rather vague explanation about a "new mission"… and then fall.

To wake up in the past.

In the middle of the forest.

Training with Lupa. Again.

Okay… let's start over.

My name is Jason Grace, son of Jupiter.

I died.

And some strange god decided to send me back to the past.

—

Or

Alternatively

Jason dies and is sent back to the past.

He tries not to change things too much.

Until he discovers something that makes absolutely no sense.

Percy has also returned.

It's time to panic when he admits that a mysterious figure murdered him.

Maybe they should rethink their plans against Kronos and Gaea.

------------------------------------------

Possible tags: Time Travel AU, Angst, PTSD, Canon Character Death, Trauma, Slow Burn, Comfort, Alternate Timeline, Relationship Issues, Prophecy Trauma, Jason Grace Needs a Hug, Percy Jackson Needs a Hug, No Beta We Die Like Jason, It Gets Worse Before It Gets Better.

It would probably be a pretty long longfic if I end up writing it.

I estimate it could easily exceed 40 chapters and therefore more than 20,000 words.

It would cover from pre-canon/Lightning Thief to the end of Heroes of Olympus or beyond.

I'm still organizing many plot points and some important twists, so several things could eventually change.

[towerofmoiras]

So, I've been doing some research on the Voltron fandom and what the heck… WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME ABOUT ADAM AND SHIRO?

I mean, I'm not talking about "oh yeah, that minor character." NO. ADAM WAS HER FIANCÉ. They were going to get married. They literally had a life planned out together, and Adam was TOTALLY right in that fight.

Because the fight wasn't just about "I don't want you to leave." It was Adam telling Shiro to stop acting like nothing could happen to him, because THAT mission was dangerous, Shiro was sick, and there were people who loved him who would be devastated if anything went wrong.

AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENS.

EVERYTHING GOES WRONG.

So now I can't hear "Good Luck, Babe!" without specifically thinking about that "I told you so" part. Because OH MY GOD, ADAM TOLD HER. He told her that something could happen up there, and then Shiro is literally kidnapped and Adam dies without knowing that he was still alive.

And then Shiro ends up marrying someone else in the end.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE LEVEL OF ANGUISH THAT'S HERE?

Because now that part of “you’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling” kind of destroys me thinking about Adam. Because maybe Shiro moved on, maybe she made another life, but I don't believe for a second that she forgot Adam after EVERYTHING that happened.

And then I started thinking about “Satisfied” and “Non-Stop” by Hamilton and I ruined my night for myself.

Because there's this part in Hamilton where everyone sings to him, “Why do you assume you’re the smartest in the room?” and then Angelica literally understands that Hamilton will NEVER be satisfied. AND GOD, THAT'S SHIRO.

Because staying wasn't enough. Having Adam wasn't enough. Having Keith wasn't enough. Being the best driver wasn't enough.

He always had to go further.

And Adam was right to be upset about it because Shiro wasn't alone. Keith was literally just a kid, and Adam probably ended up taking care of him for a long time too. Keith already felt isolated at the academy, he already had trouble fitting in, and yet Shiro goes on that mission knowing all that.

And of course, I understand Shiro. If I were offered a trip to space, I'd probably ruin my life for it too. But GOD, look how it all ends.

Adam dies. Keith is left alone.

And Shiro comes back after going through hell.

And now I can't stop thinking about the irony that Adam was right from the start.

God, they remind me so much of…

Oh wait.

Wait, wait, wait.

I just had a terrible idea for a fanfic.

I need to write this down.

I'll be back in a week with a draft.

[towerofmoiras]

I'm not sure I want to watch all of Stranger Things after that last season, even though I started out super excited because one of the ships I want to write about came from there.

Although honestly, I got into the fandom through fanfiction. If you ask me how I ended up here, I'll just say:

Finney Blake is Steve Harrington. I'm not going to say anything else.

Like I said, I was excited, I wanted to watch the whole thing, really immerse myself in the fandom, understand the lore outside of fanfiction, and all that…

BUT WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT SEASON???

I genuinely felt like the script was AI-generated, and I mean that completely seriously because I've read fan theories a THOUSAND times better.

Incomplete fanfics written at 3 AM with fewer words and better emotional development.

I wasn't even a fan of the Mike and Will ship, and yet I still ended up watching that "declaration" thinking:

What the hell was that???

"IT WAS MY TAMMY THOMPSON" DUDE, NOBODY KNEW WHO THE HELL TAMMY WAS

And then the:

"I like being in the woods"

WILL??? THE KID TRAUMATIZED BY AN INTERDIMENSIONAL MONSTER IN THE WOODS???

That woods should give him panic attacks, not romantic nostalgia.

And the damn hive mind???

It was literally one of the most interesting things about the show.

Will being mentally connected since childhood, Vecna, the trauma, the paranoia—all of that was AWESOME.

And then they resolve it like it's nothing.

They wasted Vecna ​​horribly.

Plus, I was terrified the ENTIRE season that they were going to kill Steve because I have the worst luck in the world and they always kill off my favorite characters, like…

THEY KILLED EDDIE!

Obviously, I thought: Yes, Steve is still around.

But then NO.

AND THEN THEY COME UP WITH…

BASEBALL?

BASEBALL???

IS THAT REALLY THE RESOLUTION???

Steve taught basketball, he taught Lucas, damn it!

And Robin ends up with his girlfriend (it was off-screen, what a stupid excuse) and everyone's happy, and that's it???

Honestly, they should have just killed Steve and had a time travel storyline or something.

I SWEAR.

That show was practically begging for time travel; it would have rewritten the whole damn story.

I've seen fanfics with plots about time loops, conformity theory, hive minds manipulating memories, and literally EVERYTHING sounded more interesting than what they did.

Wait…

What was I originally talking about?

[towerofmoiras]

I absolutely love this current era of Zukka

Because you guys seriously don't understand how HARD it was to find content years ago

I remember refreshing pages over and over again hoping for even a single new fanfic

And if something did appear, it was usually short chapters written at 2 AM with pure emotional pain and spelling mistakes

Then I drifted away from the fandom for years

And now I'm back and suddenly there's fanart every half hour???

Animatics???

Super long fanfics???

AUs???

I literally feel like an old farmer watching his harvest grow

Or like an old man gathering children around a campfire to say:

“Come closer, children… I'll tell you about the time when the fandom was at war and Zukka artists disappeared into the trenches”

[towerofmoiras]

Genuine question:

Should I jump into reading Klance without having seen Voltron?

Because I've known the ship for years, but I've never been able to watch the series, and honestly, I doubt I'll be able to for at least another month.

So I'm considering jumping straight into the fanfics knowing only:

— the pairing's name — a bit about the dynamics — some secondary characters — and suspiciously sad edits

The worst part is that this whole idea came about because of Zukka.

Because lately I've seen SO MANY people comparing both dynamics, and now my curiosity is eating me alive.

But honestly, I don't know if it's a good idea to jump into a fandom like this, completely unprepared and without any real context.

Although it wouldn't be the first time I've done something like this.

[towerofmoiras]

Have you ever been in a fandom solely for a ship but haven't seen the original material?

Like, not watching it at all, or just a couple of episodes, random scenes, or edits.

But still knowing the whole story inside and out thanks to fanfics, quick research, and desperate searches for:

"Who the heck is this character they mentioned in five different fanfics?"

Because I've certainly done it.

I confess my sin.

In my defense, Your Honor, the original material sometimes takes WAY too long to get interesting, and my favorite character doesn't appear until season 4.

I'm not going to sit through three whole seasons just to watch a specific character suffer and then get obsessed with a ship.

Besides, sometimes something worse happens:

Your favorite character appears, becomes the best thing about the show, and then disappears midway through the plot while everyone else is stuck in the same conflict.

(And I'm not the one saying this, the fandom itself is)

So yeah

There are series I haven't technically seen.

But I know the lore perfectly well thanks to fanfiction.

In fact, when someone asks me something about the fandom, I have to think VERY carefully before answering because there's a very high chance they're confusing canon with:

— a headcanon — an analysis — a 40k shot — or something I read at 3 AM months ago

Does this happen to you, or have I completely lost my mind?

[towerofmoiras]

I recently realized something curious:

Fans of gay ships are always accused of "wanting to make everything gay."

But honestly, in my experience, some of the most aggressive fandoms I've encountered have been those of certain heterosexual ships.

Especially those secondary ships where they're clearly not the main couple, but the fans want to change the entire story so the protagonist ends up with the person they consider "better."

And often it ends up feeling more like self-insert than a genuine interest in the narrative.

For example:

"This protagonist doesn't deserve the main guy." "He should end up with this other girl." "They ruined the story." "They should change the canon."

And they end up attacking both the main ship and other gay ships in the fandom.

When honestly, many gay ship fandoms tend to do the opposite.

They take the original love interest and give them development, friendships, their own storylines, or even better dynamics.

I don't know.

I just find it curious that it's always said that ship fans… Gays are the intense ones when some of the worst fandom wars I've seen come precisely from certain heterosexual ships

[towerofmoiras]

There are always two types of gay ships that end up obsessing me.

The first:

Two characters who would literally do anything for each other.

Destroy the world, break the law, betray their nation, their beliefs, everything they've stood for throughout the series…

But “they're just friends.”

And then you get called dramatic for thinking there's something more because “men can have deep friendships too.”

Sure.

Normal deep friendships where someone betrays their entire moral compass for a single person.

Totally casual (you'd do that for someone you barely know, sure…).

And then there's the second type of ship:

The characters barely speak to each other.

Sometimes they don't even like each other.

Or they were enemies.

Or they have like four scenes together in the entire series.

But there's symbolism.

Colors, planets, parallels, glances, dynamics, specific lines…

And somehow you end up surviving with edits, two-hour analyses, and fanfics at 3 a.m. The morning

Honestly, I don't know which of the two cases is worse (in the end, they won't be canon because they're men and that will lower the ratings, as if your biggest audience hasn't been sustained by that couple).

[towerofmoiras]

I need to say this out loud in case anyone wants to write it (I can't do too many projects right now, I have an exam):

I need a fanfic where Regulus is basically Zuko.

You know, little Regulus trying to capture the Avatar, with the tags of angst (with a happy ending), Black brothers angst, a bit of Wolfstar, and if possible, Jegulus. You know, he'd be quite similar to Zukka (emo kid and dark-haired kid with a sense of humor…it would work).

Although I personally think Regulus is a waterbender and James is a firebender… I'll leave the idea out there.

[towerofmoiras]

I'm curious and need an honest opinion.

I have a pretty long list of fanfic ideas.

And although I consider myself a decent writer in Spanish, I haven't really published anything yet.

And English isn't my first language, so I'm quite a beginner in that respect.

That's why I was thinking of doing something:

Holding a sort of poll with some of my ideas to see which ones you'd be most interested in writing later.

Because, for context:

This year I'm already planning to publish at least two fanfics (from different fandoms, hopefully if everything goes as planned), probably between October and November because of exams.

But I also have a LOT of ideas saved up.

Like:

— Marauders (Jegulus with secondary Wolfstar): about 20 ideas — Lego Monkey Kid (Sun Wukong/Macaque): another 20 — Dr. Stone (Senku/Gen): about 10 — And now with Zukka, I already have about 3 new ideas, as well as ideas for other fandoms and pairings.

So I don't know. If you'd like me to make posts with:

— short descriptions of some of the plots (you know, descriptions of what's coming, like AO3) — snippets of drafts — or even polls to decide what the next project could be

I was also thinking of maybe uploading some drafts of original characters (because I don't want to spoil the plots of other fanfics) so you can get a sense of my writing style (and how I handle translation, because yes, I use translators and adjust it as I go)

Just to clarify:

I don't publish stories until I have several chapters ready because I don't want to abandon anything in case I have less time later due to university or work

so even if an idea wins the poll, it would probably be a project for 2027

but I'd still like to know if anyone is interested in seeing that process

ideas, drafts, polls, etc.

I don't know if anyone would be interested in something like that

[towerofmoiras]

I'm serious, I mean it completely:

Please, someone write a Zukka time-travel fanfic.

But one that actually changes things, not just repeats history.

I've searched, and most are unfinished, and I'm fed up (although I did find a one-chapter, incomplete, but pretty good, though I'm adrift).

I'd give my soul for a good one right now.

I need it to survive this awful season.

I'm willing to negotiate:

I'll write two Zukka fanfics in exchange for one time-travel one.

(Especially if it's before the adventure.)

This isn't a request anymore; I'm negotiating with you.

My comfort zone doesn't have enough fanfics with this pairing.

And this is clearly going to be my obsession for at least two months, so I need to survive.
