Author has written 17 stories for Legion, Lord of the Rings, A song of Ice and Fire, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars, Captain America, Thor, and Fairy Tales. Current News: The Great Revisions for my Lady Adyé Series has officially begun!! I've tentatively started working on the new chapters for Lady Amalia, worked up a (very rough, since I haven't made too many final decisions) mock-up of how the One-Shots and the Rogue One companion are going to fit into Lady Obscura, and have (roughly) finished reworking Lady Adyé's completed chapters as well as started on new ones!! Yay!! So if you have any thoughts on which one-shots *must* or *must not* be integrated into the three primary stories, or any other thoughts in the Great Revisions in general, I'd love to hear them!! You never know what's going to help or trigger some awesome new idea!! And, in case anyone is interested, I have the intros to two of my original works posted on FictionPress, Inkitt and Wattpad (all under DarkLadyAthara) called "Tabitha" and "Storm Aeye". I'd love it if any of you would take a look and give me some feedback! And hey! I'm on Twitter. @ DarkLadyAthara. Check it out! A Lady Adye Project? Eventually? So before this sudden and increased outpouring of one-shots from my muse bludgeons my brain into making a rash labour, time and work-intensive decision, someone should really talk some sense into me... I don't know why, but in the last little while, as more and more of my planned Lady Adye one-shots have been moving from the 'Idea' file into the 'In Production' and 'Complete' files, I have been struck with the idea of actually and genuinely integrating most, if not all of them, into the three main stories of my Lady Adye series properly. Chronologically. Expansively. Completely. As in, (for example) Neva's posted one-shot would become the prologue for 'Lady Amalia' and the planned one for her that I've been working on would be integrated into the story proper. In the case of Lady Obscura? I am seriously considering expanding Athara's main story to include not just her childhood and the Rogue One companion story, but to also reach beyond the end of Episode VII to end just before the Prologue of Ana's story kicks things off. And I'm not just talking about Athara and Neva PoV chapters. I mean all of them (save spoiler-y ones...maybe...) Ana's story would be the only one to remain unaffected, really. So all of you out there who've read the Lady Adye Series, weigh in! It wouldn't happen for a while. I'd want to get a lot more of my planned one-shots completed first, naturally. Not to mention the other stories I've got on the go!! Thoughts? Yay? Nay? I'm insane? Well...yes...I know that one already... The vote seems to suggest many of you would be on board! with 23 respondents, the 'Yay's took it 16 against 7 'Nay's. We'll see what happens, but it's certainly encouraging to hear that many of you would be all for it! :) UPDATE: It's officially happening!! 02/16/20 Update: Still diligently working away, lovelies! It's certainly a process, but progress is being made. On that note, I've been thinking a lot recently about titles and names and the like - specifically for my Lady Adye Series and, in particular, for 'Resistance Commander'. As I'm sure many of you have noticed, I like themes when it comes to my series and titles. ;P I've also been thinking a lot about how, given her prominent position in the Resistance by the time tFA, it would make far more sense for Ana to go by an alias the same way Athara did post-Yavin/pre-Bespin for, well, much the same reasons. So this is what I've come up with: Ana's going to adopt 'Tayana' (the frontrunner, though it may still change) as her name - taking her distant cousin's 'identity', perhaps? So she can still use Adye as a surname? - so she can still go by Ana among those she's close to and, given that it's an assumed name just like 'Obscura' or 'Amalia' it'll also serve as the title to Part III, leaving 'Lady Adye' as the name for the series as a whole. Seem reasonable? I certainly think so. As always, any thoughts? I'd love to hear 'em! MCU Series Rant Times... Ugg...my brain needs to stop...First I come up with (ages ago, mind) a story for Loki and an OC...Then Tony Stark and another OC (Briana)... Then Haven and Iris/Bucky happens...and The Ghost and Nadine/Steve comes out of that...and all of them decide they want to exist in the same story-verse. Fine. That's okay. I can work with that... Well, then my brain decided that Tony should have a younger sister named Meg/Margaret (named after Howard's good friend Peggy...naturally), and that she should be Loki's OC. I roll with it since I'm not writing that one yet and it could potentially solve a few plot problems in that one... But then my wonderful irritating brain says 'yeah, Bruce/Natasha is cute, but that idea you had a while ago about Irina (yet another OC) and Bruce is much better, so go with that instead.' Again...I decide to roll with it...only for my brain to pick up on random Natasha/Sam vibes and posit that Nat really needs a 'happy ending' and deserves a little love since everyone else is getting a pairing. Only now...*groan*...my head is deciding to say 'nah, we're still not 100% sold on Maggie pairing with Loki...what about an OC named Hanna for him...oh, but we want to keep Meg and maybe pair her with Sam.' And all I can think to counter it is 'what about Natasha?' .*facepalm* So as it stands, my brain is (for the moment) set on the following OC pairings in my ever-growing story-verse: Bucky/Iris Steve/Nadine Pietro/Nina Loki/Meg (or Hanna) Tony/Briana (post-Pepper) Bruce/Irina (post-Natasha) Sam/Natasha (or Maggie) Which means at least five interconnected MCU stories...not counting my Dear Bucky letter-fic... My head hurts...yet, hitting it against a desk for being far too independent is sounding very good right now... If anyone has any thoughts, I am totally open to listening, sharing, chatting, swapping...anything, really...though spoilers would de a distinct risk if you open that door... Okay. Rant over. Rant Resumed!! I figured it out! Meg's getting her own OC! See below for detail. It's certainly something I've never seriously done before... And OC/OC pairing... And it'll draw us up to six stories! ...oh boy...why do I keep doing this to myself... So it'll be: Bucky/Iris Steve/Nadine Pietro/Nina Loki/Hanna Meg Stark/tbaOC (probably Michael Ellis) Tony/Briana (post-Pepper) Bruce/Irina (post-Natasha) Sam/Natasha Rant actually over now...I think... Regarding 'Daughter of Mirkwood' and my 'Daughters of Middle Earth' Series: (posted 04/27/20) So, I've been giving this a lot of thought - and I mean a lot, since I actually laid awake for a long while last night with this - and I do think that, ultimately, I'm going to end up revisiting 'Daughter of Mirkwood' and giving it a bit of an update and (slight) revision. Here's why: I wrote it a while ago. As in, I finished writing it and first started posting it back in 2012. I mean, Aeslin's mom was alive in that earliest version... Now, since then, I did go back and adjust it to account for some details that came out with the second two Hobbit movies that were just too perfect (and relevant) to pass up. Now however, as I'm diving in to the story of Thranduil and my OC for Aeslin and Legolas' mother and starting to think more seriously about my plans for Elrohir and Elladan getting OCs of their own - and especially as I am (finally) getting down into the real nitty-gritty of nailing down a complete and cohesive timeline of events and intersections for the films as well as my fics - I'm realizing that, in many ways, DoM kind of needs to be, er, fixed. For one, I admittedly used a lot of book canon series of events at the time to build Aeslin's story around, not accounting for some of the shifts in the films properly - like not completely integrating some of the shifts in timeline that affect *all* the movies, not just The Hobbit ones - that has made some bits problematic in retrospect. And now that it's part of a larger story-verse? Those small issues that I've just waved off in the past are coming back to bite me. Not to mention, now that I've got this timeline sitting in front of me, a lot of Aeslin's story actually doesn't *fit* as well as I'd roughly muddled when I first wrote it. I didn't actually take the time back then to really sit down and figure out where precisely the events in her story fit in the wider universe, using generalities on the passage of time along with a smattering of movie- and book-canon to sort of wedge it into place. Which, as I'm sure you can all imagine, I am less than satisfied with looking back. So one thing I'll definitely be adjusting is her timeline. Making it consistent with the rest of the series and making sure Aeslin and the events of her life are placed properly within the larger world her story initiated. Additionally, I've got new characters inserting themselves into the universe on me...and Aeslin's story just doesn't reflect that in it's current state. Again, for example: Elladan and Elrohir's developing OCs. At *least* one of them - probably both - would be someone Aeslin would undoubtedly know, so once their stories get written, their absences from DoM - even if only in passing - would end up being rather jarring omissions. Which brings me to another big decision that I will freely admit I haven't come to a final call, yet. Mostly because of my own feelings on the matter, as well as just how much I know she's come to mean to many of you, my steadfast and wonderful readers. I'm referring to Aeslin's name. The more I think and work on this whole series, the more I'm coming to feel that, despite the obvious sentimental attachment I have to it, for the over all sake of her story and the wider series I truly do need to give Aeslin's name and whether or not it truly suits her and the story some serious consideration. Aeslin, of course, is derived from 'Aisling', which is (modern) Irish Gaelic in origin meaning vision or dream. Previously I justified it because it could be argued to be similar to Sindarian names and/or words like 'silme'=starlight, 'aelin'/'lin'=lake/pool, and 'lind'=air (of music), song, tune, singer, also used of rivers. Additionally, being Celtic in origin - its modern inception aside - when I first wrote her story, I figured it was suitable enough. But in retrospect? Now that I've come to learn more about Tolkien, his linguistic influences and his universe? It kind of really isn't. For one, Tolkien himself vehemently stated on more than one occasion that he wasn't fond of the Celtic Gaelic languages and certainly didn't use them in developing his elvish languages - which means that Aeslin's name rather sticks out like a sore thumb - especially to me... So I just don't know. Of course, if anyone else wants to weigh in, I definitely encourage you to shoot me a PM! I'd love to hear anyone else's thoughts! Overall, Aeslin's story and who she is will be staying the same. That I promise. I'll just be changing and/or adding some continuity-related details, timing, and perhaps adjusting some sequence of events. Not to mention, it'll likely be a long way off. At the very least, Lasbereth and Thranduil's story will need to be completed and probably the stories for the Rivendell Twins' as well before I can realistically do the job right. And there you have it. A lovely little essay for you all. ;P I can't wait until I can share everything that I've got coming with you all! Happy Reading, lovelies! About My Stories: I have been writing Fan Fictions for a while now but have only managed to completely, 100% finish a paltry few of the dozens I have floating around in my head...:P Currently on the go, but not finished yet, are Lady Adyé: The Resistance Commander (or 'Part Three', as I've been affectionately referring to it as) of my Lady Adye Trilogy, a collection of companion one-shots to my primary Star Wars fic, Another Star Wars fic that may or may not link up with my Lady Adye Trilogy (and maybe another story after that), another two Lord of the Rings fics minimum, a Harry Potter fic, A Game of Thrones story, another three Marvel C.U. fics (eventually), a Legion Sequel (maybe), a Stargate story plus oneshot, a Vikings fic, another Song of Ice and Fire one-shot (or two) and anything else that catches my fancy.

Also, if anyone is interested, I have the intro to two of my original works-in-progress posted on FictionPress, Wattpad and Inkitt, all under DarkLadyAthara, called Storm Aeye and Tabitha.

I've been mulling this over for a while now, and I think that, in the theoretical not to distant future, I would like to re-write the Star Wars Prequels. If you're reading this, you're probably thinking 'whaaa? Why?" and then following said reaction with "They're terrible," or "they're already great!" or something along those lines, but bear with me. I, personally, quite liked the Prequels. BUT I can generally agree with some observations about things that were mishandled, poorly done or just outright bad *cough*Jar-Jar*cough*. I also disagree with some of those opinions. Yet I also firmly believe that there were quite a lot of good things too that the haters tend to miss, either because they're too busy on the bad or willfully ignoring the good. My ultimate belief, and I have said this to anyone and everyone who will risk having a Star Wars conversation with me, is that the first and last problem with the Prequel Trilogy is that it is unfinished: I can hear it now, "whaaaa? George thought that about the originals and look at the mess he almost made there!" I know, hear me out. Everything that I personally find 'wrong' with the Prequels could have, in my opinion, been fixed with editing...and different directing and less overwhelming cgi, but still... The Screenplay could have used at least one more edit, and possible the help of an actual editor/additional screenwriter. A few scenes one more take. The final films a little tightening up and/or cutting and/or leaving in of deleted scenes. Really, Lucas needed someone (or several someones) looking over his shoulder through the whole process with the guts to say 'really? I think that line needs a little tweaking,' or 'really? don't you think this something or other fight/establishing shot/scenery shot is a bit redundant?' My point is, the Prequels have the bare bones and the building blocks to have been really quite fantastic for everyone. There were so many amazing and wonderful elements that just scream 'Star Wars." Of course there would have still been haters - no way would they have been able to compete on a level field with the Originals purely because of the nostalgia and originality factors, and people would have found things to hate purely for that unwavering devotion to the Originals. But even with their flaws, many as there may be, the extreme hate for them even now is just silly and, honestly, embarrassing for the franchise. I've been thinking on this a lot recently since, with the imminent arrival of Episode VII, the hate for the Prequels have been amping up again, mostly because people are using them in declaring their hope that the new trilogy will be 'better' and more in line with the Original Trilogy than the Prequels supposedly were. This potential re-write is a pet project that I'd really like to take on at some point. I have several ideas and have a number of the 'major fixes' somewhat worked out or at least considered. It would not be linked with my existing Star Wars stories, as it would be what, I think, the movies could have been with that little extra attention and editing. But in written form...of course. Who knows if it'll ever even happen. If you managed to make it through that, and you have any thoughts or comments, I'd love to hear from you! Upcoming "In the Works" to be Published when Finished: I DO NOT BEGIN PUBLISHING STORIES ON UNLESS THEY ARE COMPLETED! Personally, I hate it when I get into a story I'm reading and the author decides to abandon it. I vowed never to do that. So, unless I have finished it, or have a reasonable (read 99.99 to 100%) certainty I will be able to complete it in the near future, it will stay in this section. The only somewhat exception is my Pirates Fic, only because it felt done when I posted it. I still have some vague ideas for future snippets, so I may add them later, but for now that story is finished, hence why it has been published. Similar situation with my Lady Adye series of One-shots, which, being one-shots, are essentially individual entities rather than a chapter-based story, so they will go up as they are completed, likely on the first Monday after I finish them, just to keep the Monday thing going :) Okay, fine...and the second big exception is Ana's story...but that's an anomaly...a BIG anomaly...see the note on Lady Adye: The Resistance Commander for the explanation on that one... ...fine, and The Ghost too...that one I got over excited... Their Lady Adye (Star Wars) A series of one-shots that take place during, before or after the "Lady Adyé" trilogy, which centres around Neva, Athara and Ana Adyé. Most of these one-shot will be alternate PoVs/scenes that, for one reason or another, didn’t make it into "Her Jedi", "Little More than a Shadow" and an, as of yet, unnamed third instalment. Featuring Luke, Han, Obi-wan, Vader, Leia, Qui-gon, even Neva and Athara themselves. They will not be written or posted in chronological order. Hey, it's happening! Basically a series of drabbles and one-shots that are essentially ideas/scenes that I couldn't work into the main stories for reasons of flow or that I couldn't quite conceive of them from Neva or Athara's PoV, given that the main stories are solely from their perspectives. It'll likely end up being posted Mondays in the same manner as Filia Maris, where I will write a bunch, start posting them, and add new one-shots if they come to me. At my last tally, I've got a TON more either in conceptual stages, in progress, nearly completed and even a few 'finished' ones!! Sadly, a few of them, including several of the 'completed' ones, will have to wait to be posted until specific parts of Ana's Story go up...for obvious reasons, I'm sure (*cough*spoilers*cough*) Which makes me rather sad, since I really want to share them! Anyway...stay tuned!! TLA 01/24/18 Update: So, for the sheer sadistic hell of it, I just worked out how many Lady Adye One-Shots I would have if, right this moment, I were to have them all magically completed and ready to post, Interludes and vague ideas I want to do included. 87. As of this update, I have 87 One-shot ranging from complete and posted (34) to the vaguest of ideas that I feel I HAVE to do. I am insane... So all of you fearing I won't be posting anymore? Ha! You're cute. TLA 07/26/18 Update: Okay, so, in light of my (stupidly ambitious) decision to (eventually) rework my Lady Adye Series to expand and integrate TLA and LO:aROS properly into the main trilogy, I am currently unsure about how much further I am going to take TLA on its own. I have a couple that are ready and in the wings to be posted, but they're on hold because of the spoilers they hold for later on in Ana's story. So stay tuned, lovelies. We'll see what happens. Instalment #35, Breaking the News, is now posted. Untitled Star Wars Fic (Star Wars) Unlike her cousin Luke, Sara Lars was perfectly content on Tatooine, helping her parents with their moisture farm and waiting for her boyfriend Biggs to come home so they could start their future together. But then two droids show up and catapult Sara into a galactic adventure right alongside Luke, and Sara must somehow manage to survive a new life she never wanted My mind is silly...I pretty much finish what I can work on for Part Three/Episode VII, and think 'hey, now I can get a few more Lady Adye One-shots done, I can move onto one of my original projects'...but my brain says nah, we're having so much fun with Star Wars, here; have another character: Her name is Sara, she's Luke's cousin, she's with Biggs and here's her story up through Episode IV and some of Episode V. Have fun -_- Oh well. So Sara's going to have a story now too. The poll has closed, the results are in and voila! A decision has been made! I want to send out a huge thank you to the 20 people who stopped by to leave a vote. I’ll be honest, I really was torn over which way to take my story-verse, but your support really helped solidify my decision. And what decision was that? Sara Lars, the OC I have making a (little) bit of a ruckus up in my head, will not be part of my Lady Adyé Story-verse. For the longest time I wanted her to be and even had some of the integration planned out (ie, the alternate version of Beru's one-shot in Their Lady Adyé that included an adorable wee Sara). However, with the appearance of my ideas for a ‘What If’ story for Athara, Sara became a complication to that. I probably could’ve made it work, but I honestly didn’t want to. And it seemed a good portion of you agreed, with the poll closing at 13-7 in favour of Sara’s story staying separate from the Adyés. So Sara’s going to be off in her own little Story-verse. Who knows…maybe I can even figure out a way to save Bodhi for her :P lol! Lady Obscura: Balance of Choice (Star Wars) I really need to stop...or rather...my brain needs to stop. I'm musing over my Rogue One story at work and BOOM: what if we do a 'what if' story! *facepalm* As if I don't already have enough stories on the go... The gist? The plan? The Idea? What if, instead of forbidding Athara to go to Tatooine to retrieve the Death Star Plans, Vader agrees with Athara and sends her to the planet's surface...well, it would change everything, of course...else, you know, it wouldn't be much of an idea, tbh...*le sigh* Again, we'll see if this ever gets off the ground, but considering how much I already seem to have mapped out in my head so far... I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts on this!! Please, someone! Message me and convince me it's a bad idea! My brain is going to explode... ...also, despite trying NOT to think on it...I may have a title...I present Lady Obscura: Balance of Choice (unofficially, for the moment, at least) Untitled Star Wars Fic (Star Wars) Kylo Ren is a lone agent of destruction, a separate, lonely entity within the First Order he is bound to serve. But an unexpected connection with a First Order seamstress - whose job it is to mend frayed edges and torn seams - might just hold the key to his redemption. Ben Solo/OC Oh, God...please stop me... Why is it that, when I'm trying desperately to work on ALLLLLLL my other stories - several of them already Star Wars - another one always inevitably invites itself to the party? It happened when working on Force Awakens (Sara's story materialized) and with Rogue One (Balance of Choice...) and now this. A Kylo Ren story. Gist of this one? Not a whole lot to go on, at this point, but thanks to the 'Laundry' scene and the random musing that someone would have to create and likely mend Ben/Kylo's (admittedly awesome) garments, our as of yet unnamed OC would be a garment officer or something in the First Order - likely stolen away as Finn was, perhaps even part of the Stormtrooper training program of Hux's and sent into specialization in garments...or something...and relationship develops and she started nudging him back toward the light, blah blah, journey to redemption, blah blah, romance, you get it :P ...the question now is whether or not this one should be part of the Lady Adye story-verse. I have to be honest, I can totally see it... But yeah, development still ongoing...though hopefully not for a while yet as I am still hip deep in at least another half-dozen actively writing stories...I do have a few awfully poignant scenes from the climax already flitting around in my head, though... Mist (MCU) It officially has a title! No summary I can share yet, but since the question has finally been brought up over in the Reviews for The Ghost, I'm going to make an official entry here: Nina and Iris are getting their own mini story. Yup! You heard that right. I'm sure a few of you discerning and clever readers who've read both The Ghost and Haven can probably make an educated guess about the whens and wheres of this upcoming short, but in the interests of preventing Spoilers, I'm not going to divulge much, just yet. Just that it's gonna happen! So stay tuned!! :D Red Sisters (MCU) Is it any surprise that this was coming? XD Because really...as if I wasn't going to see the Black Widow trailer and *not* be immediately bombarded by ideas for a new story...especially since it looks like they're going to be dismantling the Red Room Program!!?!?!! Oh man!! Of COURSE I want to throw Nadine into this with Nat! Can you imagine how much fun that would be??!?!?! So, thanks to Nat's New Movie, Nadine and Nat are getting their own Mini-Sequel!! Yay! I even have a title already! CX And so many ideas already... Hahaha! Scenes for Steve and Sam dropping Nat and Nadine off to get into Adventurous shenanigans, potential scenes for Nadine's survival and identity as 'The Ghost' coming out to Yelena (breaking up Nat and Yelena's fight with a 'now now, children' XD), Melina and (maybe) Alexei, the NC's reactions to Nadine's survival, having a daughter and *gasp* 'dating Captain America, really?' XD - all dependent on how the relationships present and develop, just *who* these new characters are (personalities, histories, how they know Nat, etc) and what the movie's plot as a whole looks like, of course. No summary yet because - obviously - the movie it's largely going to be based around isn't out yet...though we can make some guesses... ;D Though...I do have a very clear scene of a sniggering Sam and exasperatedly sighing Steve dropping Nat and Nadine off for their adventures - our lovely Captain asking them to 'please try not to have *too* much fun' as they step off the Quinjet - running through my head. lol! Companion Story (obviously) and Mini-Sequel to The Ghost, as well as to my other posted and upcoming MCU fics. Untitled MCU OC/OC Fic (MCU) Meg and Tony had never been close. Technically, he'd been her guardian when their parents were killed, but he was certainly not guardian material. So once she could go, she was gone. But then something happened in Afghanistan. The last thing she expected when she got Pepper's call was to end up reconnecting with her estranged big brother over the whole thing or to be drawn into the world of Superheros and SHIELD. Or connecting with a rather dashing CIA agent... OC/OC; 'Tony's Little Sister' story. Tentatively titled: The Prodigal Stark Very temporary Synopsis... So Meg, the bizarro but weirdly compelling idea of an OC who is not just Meg...but Margaret Stark (though she'd go by something like Meg/Margaret Carbonell or Collins; Maria Stark's maiden name according to the MCU wiki) wouldn't let me rest. She wants to be in my story-verse too (still trying to come up with a name for that...btw) But she wasn't quite jiving with Loki to me. But he seemed the most suitable and any other idea just didn't click or was already paired (thought about a Bruce/Meg pairing for a few minutes there...) But then at work one day, boom. There it was. My solution...though I still sometimes I hate my brain...making things even more complicated... -_- ...Meg's getting an OC of her own. Name tba, (Though we're pretty much sure it'll be Michael Ellis, atm) since I haven't settled on it yet, but he's going to be either an MI6 or CIA agent (who looks suspiciously like Richard Armitage or Luke Evans depending on my brain ;P ...go figure) who's been sent to debrief Tony after his escape from the 10 Rings. Meanwhile, Meg will have just made it 'home' thanks to Pepper reaching out to her despite not being on the friendliest of terms with dear big brother Tony. And it'll go from there on through the Iron Man films and beyond. We'll see how far. It may end up merging with Briana's story after IM3. Thoughts? Feel free to PM me! If there's one thing I like doing, it's talking about my projects and ideas :P I may also be integrating a rather compelling alternate idea for the Mandarin's attack on Tony's house as posited by Nando v Movies (check it out. It's actually quite compelling) over on Youtube. So some canon divergence will be likely...moreso than Meg's existence already implies, of course. ;) Companion Story to Haven, The Ghost and my other upcoming MCU fics. She's even - sort of - already made her debut over there! ;D Untitled Tony/OC Fic (MCU) Post 'House Party,' Tony said he was done. But it's not so easy to turn off, and that proved too much for Pepper. So what does Tony do? Falls back on his old ways: sarcasm, philandering and Iron Man. Enter one Briana Ainsley; pizza waitress and so not interested. Besides, what could she possibly offer him anyway besides forbidden pizza...and a friend? TS/OC OC's name subject to change, but it's fairly certain at this point in time. This has been in my head for quite a while. We'll see how long before I can get anything substantial written. However, Briana is now officially integrated into the same story-verse as The Ghost, Haven, and my Loki/OC story. She's even made her first appearance! ;) But her story itself is still in the very early stages, really; lots of scenes in my head, but a generally complete idea of where it's going. I'm pretty sure I have it worked out how she's gonna fit into AoU and CW, though, so it's most definitely promising so far. Untitled Loki/OC Fic (MCU) When Hanna Warren went into work at Stark Tower that day, the last thing she expected was to be part of an Alien Invasion. Neither did she expect to catch the interest of one very messed up God of Mischief who decided it would be crueler to let her live. She really didn't expect to become his source of amusement as he languished away in a cell on Asgard. And there was no way she could have ever dreamed that he would ever become one of the most important people in her life...or her of his. Loki/OC, Again, OC's name subject to change, but again, quite unlikely at this point...though I am considering Calla for some strange reason... This one's been in my head the longest, and was also the only one for a time to reach back to Phase One, even if it is only the tail end. But it's also proving the hardest to get down. Like Tony's story, we'll see how it goes. Same issues, really. Basic idea mapped, etc, etc. Thor: Ragnarok complicated things for a time, but I think I have most of the major kinks ironed out. Will probably be integrated with the rest of my MCU series, but I don't know precisely how much I'm going to have to do so far as integration, yet... Oh, and for this story, my one-shot (ultimately four-shot) A Child of Two Worlds will be considered canon for this story. So might as well catch up on that. ;) Untitled Rumlow/OC Fic (MCU) This one I've been seriously considering for a while so I might as well include it here. It'll feature Rumlow and the alluded to romance he has with Katerina Zhirova from The Ghost, the Red Room Groupmate of Nadine's that sold her and Nina out at the Manipulations of Madame B and eventually found herself working for HYDRA and Strucker. Which mean yes, it'll be part of the same series as The Ghost, Haven, and the rest. It won't be a long fic, but just a (long) one-shot or possibly even a Mini-fic. We'll see. I have no active plans for it just now, but it's one that I actually really want to do. I suppose I'll have to come up for a codename for Katerina too, then... Untitled One-Shot Collection (MCU) Speaking of one-shots...I have a few tentative ideas planned out for companion one-shots to go with my main MCU series. Wee little complementary stories that don't fit within the main ones but exist nonetheless. And which little stories am I thinking of? Well, so far: One will take place during Ant-Man and The Wasp, where Scott marvels over how he knows The 'real' Ghost, utterly confusing everyone; Hope, Hank, Dr. Foster, and Ava. Tentative Title: The Imposter Another will take place after Bucky fell from the Train in CA:tFA, when Peggy finds Steve in the bombed-out pub, leading to an offer of tea, comfort and probably a little more; will most likely be M-rated... ;D Tentative Title: The Captain and The Agent There may even be a Samtasha one! And more may come. The Rumlow/OC shot may end up in here, too. We'll see. It all depends on whether or not it becomes a multi-chapter mini or stays a one-shot. Untitled Bruce/OC Fic (MCU) Before Betty, there was Irina. A scientist like Bruce, they grew close while she was in the States for college. But she had to go home to Russia, and it ended. But then the Accident happened, and Bruce was suddenly on the run, and he ran to her for help. But he couldn't stay, and it ended before it could truly start again. But when someone decides to look into his past for leverage? It means trouble for Irina. Bruce/OC We'll see if this one makes it off the ground. I actually have a basic plot, but little in the way of details. Lots of decisions yet to make, but the basics are there. The biggest question remaining...to integrate with my other stories or not...I weirdly kind of like Natasha/Bruce, you know...but recently I've been growing rather fond of Natasha/Sam. No idea why. It just sort of happened. So Natasha/Bruce may end up being a failed attempt, paving the way for my Bruce/Irina story to possibly, maybe work. Who knows. We'll see. Or...thanks to Thor:Ragnarok...this might just be off on its own, disregarding the events of T:R unless I can reconcile Bruce/Hulk's trip to Sakaar with my plan for him to go to Russia after Sokovia... Untitled Thor/OC Fic (MCU) This one just hit me...I have no idea what will come of it or if it will even be a part of my Ladies of Marvel Series (or if it'll even get written at all...) but the gist so far is a team of scientists, including the main OC, Corie (short for Cordelia, I'm thinking), stumble across one of the 'Portals' Loki liked using to bounce around the Galaxy without the Bifrost and find themselves in Asgard. That's it. That's all I've got so far. Make of it what you will...I know I can't make much of it yet... :P And now with Thor: Ragnarok making a spectacular impact on the development of the MCU...I honestly have no idea where this one will fit, just now. I'll probably have to start writing it to decide on that. See where the story takes me, you know? But part of me is hinting 'pair her with Thor' and another part of me is like 'no!'...and that same part is also starting to hint that it might be interesting to make her the daughter of a defected valkyrie... *facepalm* We'll see. May or may not end up being a Companion Story to Haven, The Ghost and my other upcoming MCU fics. 04/10/20 Update: Yeah...her mom's totally going to be a defected valkyrie - probably named Sigrun, with her 'Earth name' still tbd - a valkyrie who, after the Snap, makes her way to New Asgard and finds herself reuniting with an old, long believed dead 'friend'... *wink*wink*nudge*nudge* Three guesses who... *cough*Valkyrie*cough* Oh, and the pairing is pretty much definitely going to be Thor...and it's looking good to being integrated into my main MCU series. ;) Untitled Erik(/OC?) Fic (MCU) When T'Chaka killed his own brother to protect Wakanda, he left N'Jobu's son Erik behind to grow into a man who would one day throw Wakanda into chaos. But what if he hadn't? What if T'Chaka had brought young Erik home with him to be raised alongside his own children? How would all their lives have changed? Yeah, I usually don't do this sort of story, but the idea's been niggling away at the back of my mind for like a million years (okay, more like a couple months, but still... :P) and won't leave me alone. So I might very well add it here. Especially since my brain is now toying with an OC for Erik to add in there...because of course since it's me. :P Will not be connected with my main MCU series, but rather a stand-alone story. Warning: It is very low on the list, so it'll likely be a while if I ever get to it. Untitled Clint/OC Fic (MCU) In an AU where Laura Barton isn't Clint Barton's wife, but his sister looking after his kids after his wife's death, meet the Lena, the agent that has him learning to love again. CB/OC This is another one that hit me like a bag of rocks...like an arrow? We're not going there...most likely pre-Avengers, at the start, at the very least. Lena's going to be a S.H.I.E.L.D. Analyst. Barton is Barton and wonderful. Nat's going to be, who else, meddling and Nat. I'm starting to think I need a story idea intervention, lovelies... Obviously, since I've already established Laura as Clint's wife in my main MCU series, this one will be a separate entity, off all on its own. Untitled Bucky/OC Fic (MCU) Tentative Titles: The Soldier' Ghost or Winter's Ghost Okay, so I honestly can't believe I am even considering this, but I am. I'm working diligently away on new chapters for The Ghost and a throwaway line becomes a line of thought (both within and outside of the story) and that line of thought becomes a pervasive and tenacious little plunny that just won't let me be. What is this plunny you might ask? An AU for The Ghost starting when Nadine ran...where Bucky runs with her. Yup! You read that right. A Nadya/Bucky story where she reacts differently to him catching her the night that she ran from the Red Room that leads to him running with her. That simple, that complicated and that bloody tantalizing. Beginning will likely be the same/reposts of the 1996/7 chapters of The Ghost (Part I, Chapters 2, 4, 6, 10, 12, 14 and 16) as the events in them will essentially be exactly the same as this new story given that the two stories will diverge during the events of Part I: Chapter 16. I might even just repost them as the first several chapters of this new story rather than outright writing new ones...maybe expand a bit. I don't know. I haven't gotten that far yet... I must be insane...as if I don't have enough on my plate... T.T Yet, dammit, I can't resist!! Untitled Bucky/OC Fic (MCU) Honestly, I'm not 100% sure where the idea for this one came from. I think I saw or heard a prompt somewhere? Maybe on one of the Marvel/MCU fanfic FB groups I'm in? I don't know. But the idea took hold and here we are. No summary yet as it's a very, very rough idea...but I really kind of want to write it, so here we are. Here we go: Our MC - Raquel (or Veronica, I'm still debating) 'Ricki' Robins, codename 'Riot' - will have been kidnapped by HYDRA and held prisoner - reasons why yet to be finalized pending the more concrete development of the overall plot, though I'm even considering a premonitory ability/Enhancement? We'll see on that score - next to or potentially even with Bucky during his time as The Winter Soldier. And naturally, something will develop. I have a couple ideas for how the story goes from there - mostly involving her ultimately becoming a Winter Soldier-esque HYDRA agent (complete with wiped memories and possibly trigger words of her own) on Rumlow's STRIKE Team who defects (probably thanks in part to Nat...because Nat ;P) and ultimately helps track down and help Bucky, getting help for herself in the process - but I'm still playing with it. I'll also be playing with the idea of a slightly more autonomous and 'aware' Winter Soldier than I characterized him in my Main MCU series, where he's just as brainwashed and memory-less, but not quite to the level of 'blank' machine that I interpreted in Haven , The Ghost and the rest. Obviously, Pre-CA:WS, but I will likely have it extend into WS and perhaps beyond or (likely) even AU after. We'll see. A lot's up in the air, atm. For obvious reasons, will not be in the same series as my other MCU fics... Untitled Harry Potter Fic (Harry Potter) Melaina Prince is the last direct heir to the Prince family, a family that has dark allegiances. Growing up with only the support and affections of her cousin Severus and Uncle Lucius, she is surprised to find an ally in a Weasley, especially with the outbreak of the Second Wizarding War. Old prejudices are challenged at every turn...on both sides. I have characters and a general plot in my head!! Sort of. I'm still hemming and hawing over the pairing being Fred/OC later Bill Weasley/OC (the front-runner) or Fred/OC later George/OC or just George/OC... A great deal subject to change!! Save names and the basic, bare-bones of the story. She is staying Melaina Prince... and she is staying Snape's cousin and Lucius's niece...though Sirius and a Black connection are trying to work its way in there...and a Dolohov link? Maybe a little brother or sister, a side pairing of Fremione...My brain is stupid... What Will Happen Will Happen (Harry Potter) I'm laying this one wholly at the feet of the Death Eater Express...you've all had a bad influence on me. It started with the discovery of Caminal's The Minister's Secret, which led to joining the DEE and culminated with a 'have you seen this story' post. And boom. New story idea... It is inspired by laumirot's My Little Dragon and will likely be influenced by two of the greatest (imho) HP time-travel stories ever, Shayalonnie's The Debt of Time and The Minister's Secret. I can only endeavour to write a story even half so incredible as either of their master-works. So here it goes...we'll see if this one ever gets written... The gist will be that, at beginning her Eighth Year, Hermione, through a chance of circumstance, becomes privy to the newly discovered secret that Draco is not, in fact, Narcissa's son with Lucius. And as circumstance and fate continues to conspire, she finds herself thrown back in time...Cue the casual time-loop story. In doing so, a chain of events is launched that will see her coming to see Severus Snape as a brother, learning to love a young Lucius Malfoy and discovering that she, in fact is Draco's real mother...meanwhile, those she left behind in the present come to realize just what has happened and the implications. There's still a lot to work out - like htH she's going to be travelling through time in the first place and how to reconcile Narcissa's canon actions with her role in this story - but I have the gist of it worked out already in my head. Stay tuned! Untitled Sirius/Lily Fic (Harry Potter) What if, in his impatience, Voldemort hadn’t bothered to kill Lily, just swept her aside? What if James had his wand? What if James’ sacrifice was enough? And this one I'm blaming on The Shrieking Shack Society... it's a 'Lily Lives' story that will ultimately become a Lily/Sirius story. I actually already have the prologue (or maybe first chapter...we're undecided) written up...but I need to focus on other stuff first, so it's queued...just like aaaaaalllllll the others. Untitled Hermione/Rabastan Lestrange(?) Fic (Harry Potter) So in that lovely creative moment between sleep and forcing one's self to wake up, I had a thought for a fic that just won't leave me be. Not sure of too much yet, but I do have a few key moments that have materialized in my overactive imagination. Long story short, it's to pick a DE (possibly even just a name) to fit a facecast/beginnings of characteristics from my plunny. The jist that I've got of the story so far is that, for a reason to still be determined, in the aftermath of the Final Battle, Hermione gets collected up and detained with the remnants of Voldemort's army/followers (likely because of Umbridge because, let's face it, it seems the scheme-y sort of conniving and vindictive thing she'd try to organize to get rid of Hermione). Because of the sheer volume of detainees, they are all thrown into a mass barracks sort of situation (likely in Azkaban, but perhaps at another location...again, tbd), and Hermione finds herself the only female amid dozens of some of the worst sorts (and perhaps the odd other ally)...and naturally, finds herself in all kinds of danger being 'Potter's Mudblood' and all that. However, among the DEs and LV's allies there is a character who, at first glance, is just as much of a threat as the other DEs. Yet this character will prove to be Hermione's best chance for survival, offering her a measure of protection and alliance. And naturally, lovely warm feelings and perhaps the odd warmer moment will ensue. ;D Especially since, once more, Luke Evans has wormed his way into yet another facecast as the male lead in my story... Now it's just deciding which character he will be...so far the favourite option is Rabastan Lestrange with Rodolphus or Dolohov as the immediate threats, though Dolohov is proving a tantalizing option as well. We'll just have to see. There are so many 'named' DEs that have next to no characterization in canon that could easily be expanded to fill the role...Rosier, Mulciber, Avery, Selwyn...the list goes on. C: Stay tuned! Untitled Hermione/Bill/Fleur (Harry Potter) The vaguest of inclinations for this one has been lurking in the back of my mind for ages. A Triad fic that adds Hermione into the mix with Bill and Fleur. But it wasn't one that I ever seriously considered writing. Then I come across a story by the talented Aleisha Potter called Familial Obligations (which is great, btw, even though it's unfinished, so go check it out!) that made use of an interesting trope/cliche to facilitate a Hermione/Bill pairing. And my brain started pondering...and pondering...and pondering...and, well, we all know how that turns out. And so, here we are: the idea is that, due to his run-in with Greyback leaving him with traces of lycanthropy, Bill and Fleur are unable to conceive due to incompatibility of the curse with her Veela nature. So they look for alternatives...and alternatives include - for lack of a better term - a surrogate. Enter Hermione. Hermione, who has always felt drawn to both of them, and who both Bill and Fleur have similarly been intrigued by in the past...and, of course, you can see how things will likely go from there. ;) We'll see how it goes. The Travellers (Harry Potter) Well, you can tell how well this idea's going, atm...I even have a title! lol! It's another Time Travel one, only this one wouldn't be just Hermione. Nope, there'd be a whole group going back. Harry and Hermione, for sure, with the other three (or five, depending on how my arcs develop) pulling from Ron, Ginny, the Twins, Pansy, Daphne, Draco and Luna. As for pairings, nothing in stone, yet, but I'm leaning toward Remione, with Sirius ending up with either Ginny, Daphne or Pansy. Very little else is set in stone, just yet. Just that there may be some minor Dumbledore-bashing, they'll be collecting Baby Harry from the Dursleys, getting Sirius out of Azkaban and all sorts of other fix-it fun. Untitled Harry Potter/Twilight Crossover Fic (Harry Potter/Twilight X-over) Pairing undecided, though most likely Hermione/Jasper or possibly even a Hermione/Jasper/Alice triad. Ah, this one...I can't believe I'm even considering this...I don't even like Twilight...but someone rec'd me a couple x-overs on another site and they were kind of fun to read. The idea of a post-Second Wizarding War Hermione and Jasper is intriguing, what with their similar histories as (unwilling) soldiers, and I already have a set of cute little scenes in my head where Hermione and the Cullens realize what the others are...it could be fun. If it ever happens, of course. No idea if I'll add in the 'Hermione as Bella's Visiting Relative' trope but it is a convenient and logical way to link the universes, so maybe. It'll likely be post-Eclipse, but definitely post New Moon. So we'll see...I still can't believe I'm considering it... Untitled Harry Potter/Sherlock Crossover Fic (Harry Potter/Sherlock X-over) Summary still to be written - it will be a Hermione/John Watson pairing, though Ah yes...another one that may or may not ever happen. I have several scenes already flitting around in my head, though, so we'll see. The gist, though will be thus: scratch Mary and replace with Hermione. That simple and that complex. It's not that I don't like Mary (I do) but there is an intriguing potential parallel between her and her past/secrets and Hermione and her magic and past and so on and so on... It could be fun! So we'll see what happens! Untitled Jurassic World Fic (JW) They had been a Team, in more ways than one, but after the Navy, Kara and Owen’s lives had gone off in two separate directions; he’d been recruited to the Raptor Training Program at Jurassic World. And Kara? Kara returned to her hometown. He’d chosen his career over her. So when he’d shown up at her bar after the Isla Nublar Fiasco? She should’ve wanted to throw him out. She didn’t. Owen/OC I have smattering of dialogue. And a lemon. So against my judgement this one may happen... Okay, not much to go on, but my brain is stupid and won't bloody let it go. Not sure of a whole lot, but what I do have suggests that it'll probably start a little before or a little after JW and go through at least to the end of JW:FK. So far the most substantial bit that I've got is that, after JW, Owen and my as of yet unnamed (though my brain is leaning to Kara just now, for some reason...) retreat to her small hometown, where she's takes up a job at the local bar while he starts building his cabin in the woods. Beyond that, I won't know until I start writing. I'm still not even 100% set on the shared navy background thing. I'm also considering that she might be a fellow JW employee before the incident (the potential image in my head that she's one of the keepers for the 'petting zoo' bit since I've got this awesome mental picture of her going up against one of the pterasaurs to protect one of her baby triceratops, or something :P) That's all I've got, so far. I know, it's so much... Our Last Summer (Mamma Mia) Donna, Harry, Sam and Bill all have fond memories of the summer of 1979. They also have heartbreaking ones. But what really happened? (Summary & Title subject to change) So one thing I'd like to make very clear. I really liked Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. I did. I loved it. It was well done, the cast was awesome and the music was, as anticipated, fantastic. That being said... I do have one very real complaint about it. As good as the movie was, it was as though the writer decided to watch the first one, got an idea, and totally threw out everything we learned about Donna's past with the Three Fathers so they could do their own thing. All that was left was the very basic framework. Very little of what we learned in the first 10 minutes of the first movie and during 'Our Last Summer' was adhered to. And we actually a fair bit, if you pay attention. So what does my brain do with this? Well, it decides it would like to take a stab at writing what the movie should have done for the 1979 flashbacks. So that's what this story is going to be about. It's going to be the story of Donna and the Three Fathers' Summer, but as the first movie described. May or may not count as a 'Song-fic'. Not sure, yet. Untitled Padme/Bounty Hunter Fic (Star Wars) This one is just an idea at the moment, though the original name has been appropriated for another story. Whether or not it ever actually gets written is up in the air right now. It doesn't help that I'm not 100% certain about it anymore. I don't know, how does Padme as a bounty hunter sound to anyone? At first I thought it could be fun...now I'm not so sure. It just doesn't feel right, you know? At the very least, if I do decide to continue with the Bounty Hunter angle, I don't think I'll be linking it with my other stories as I originally considered since I went in another direction there. Star Wars Episodes I-III Rewritten Please see rant above for explanation/background and likelihood that it'll actually happen... Daughter of Eryn Galen (LotR) Thranduil was accused once of having no love in him. Indeed, even his children, Legolas and Aeslin had found their memories of his love for them growing faint as the years passed. But Thranduil had loved. Perhaps not so strongly as his daughter loved her Marchwarden, but the Woodland King had loved. He had grown to care for the mother of his children dearly. Enough that her death had devastated him. For he had truly loved his Huntress. This is their story. Companion Story/Prequel to Daughter of Mirkwood and part of my Daughters of Middle Earth series. Follows the love story of Thranduil and his Queen (name tbd) culminating in their eventual regard and love for each other and the births of their children: Legolas and Aeslin. Yeah...this one's going to happen. I have a general arc for the relationship and a fairly good grasp of the story as a whole, but nothing concrete written yet. This one's on a backburner for now. 07/08/20 Update: Plans are coming together! So far, it's looking like, timeline-wise, it's going to span from right around the founding of Rivendell (during the Second Age and the height of the Wars with Sauron) through the Last Alliance and on to the War with Angmar at the very least, and possibly later depending on where I decide to end it in relation to our Mirkwood Queen's death (ie. with her death or go on past it a little). Oh, and there will be dragons. ;) But, yeah. Even with that all decided, lots to do and still lots of decisions to be made. That, and I haven't entirely settled on her name yet, which doesn't help. The name I came up with for Aeslin's story was Lasbereth (which literally means 'Leaf Queen'), which I may keep as her epessë, but let's be honest...it's *very* on the nose. So we're considering alternatives. Some possibilities being: Aulariel or Lauriel : daughter of sunlit leaves Laeriel : summer daughter Lasaeriel : crowned with summer leaves (probably the frontrunner, atm) Fariniel : woodland huntress Tiriniel : daughter of woodland guardian Auriel : sunlit crown (Au)riniel : (sunlit) daughter of the forest Thoughts? I'd love to hear them! Daughter of Dale (LotR) Thyra had known Bard and his wife Anja her whole life, just as she knew most people in the Dale Quarter of Laketown. So when Anja died in childbirth, she had stepped up to help mind Bard's small children when he set out on the lake, determined to give Sigrid, Bain and Tilda the best life he could. As the years passed, Thyra grew to love his children as her own and Bard became her dear friend...though her heart began to yearn for something more... Still, though hard, it was a good life Thyra had. But danger and despair loom, heralded by prophecy, dwarves... ...and dragonfire. Follows Thyra and her growing feelings for Bard, the grim, devoted widower whose children she would watch when he needed to go out on the Lake. Aaaand this one's appeared in my brain too. I have too many story ideas...bah. OC's name may change. It'll go through from probably shortly before the Hobbit movies to shortly after. We'll see. It has a little written out that wouldn't leave me alone...this is why I shouldn't let myself watch The Hobbit when I'm trying to work on other things... Daughter of Erebor (LotR) Ever since she was a child, Frena's father told her great tales of Erebor and the King under the Mountain. She grew and became a skilled carver of stone, a creator of beautiful things in her own right. And she grew into the woman who would hold Thorin's heart. Will follow Frena (name subject to change, even if that's rather unlikely at this point), the dwarf-woman who Thorin will fall in love with and vice versa. And yeah, I know. The summary's very rough. :S You know? I'm starting to think my brain hates me...here's another one that won't let me be! Oh well. I'm not entirely sure this one will ultimately be a full-bore multi-thousand word story. The way I'm envisioning it now is more a series of vignettes about Frena and Thorin's life together with the focus being on Frena. And no, she's not going to join the Quest for Erebor. I'm not a fan of 'additional walker' stories. Daughter of Imladris & Daughter of Lorien (LotR) Here we go. An official entry for an idea that's been percolating for a while...and technically an entry for two possible stories, one for each brother. ;) As with all my In Progress stories, nothing is written in stone just yet. In the meantime... ;) For Elladan? a Daughter of Imladris. So far it's looking like my literary liberties will be creating a daughter for Erestor and making Lindir (the precious worry-wort from 'The Hobbit' movies) Erestor's son and my new OC's brother. What do you think. A rebellious sister to Lindir's straight-laced responsibility and Elladan's calm(er) disposition as compared to his own wilder sibling? And don't think Elrohir is going to be left out. It's likely to be a Daughter of Lorien for him. A Border Guard from Lorien who, while not so serious as our beloved Haldir was I think, is still a little more duty-driven than our gregarious Elrohir tends to be. Beyond that, I'm afraid I don't have all that much just yet, lovelies. We're still working on it. BUT! Will definitely still be linked in with the rest of my 'Daughters' story-verse (as the tentative titles do rather attest, no?). So anticipate appearances by our other lovely OCs. Daughter of Wilderland (LotR) Awesome. Apparently in trying to work on 'Daughter of Dale', my muse has decided that, well naturally, poor Beorn is all alone, so there needs to be a 'Daughter' for him... So it's dreamed up a female Skin-changer - Idunn or Idunna, I haven't settled yet - rescued from the Ruins of Dol Guldur by Radagast and, recognizing her heritage, brings her to the only other Skin-changer he knows to recuperate and heal. Still not 100% on the title. Either 'Daughter of the Vales' or 'Daughter of Wilderland'? Still thinking on it since a specific geographical region/kingdom isn't *really* super defined by Tolkien as their 'homeland' beyond Rhovanion - which is, like, the whole North-East of Middle Earth - and/or the 'North'. Oh, and it's apparently trying to recast Beorn in my head with Jason Momoa (?!?!?) after seeing artwork that looks rather uncannily like him from a 'Beorn' trading card while looking for images to use on the cover ...*facepalm* ...muses are dumb. Let's throw rocks at them... Daughter of Mithlond (LotR) It was the belief of her Lord and Master, Círdan that Ól—iel possessed the gift of foresight, for she had long dreamed of faces she did not know, places she had not seen and battles she had not fought. So when the Elf-Lord Elrond calls for a Council, it is an opportunity Ol—iel cannot let pass. But the answers she seeks will not be so easily found. Nor Imladris the only stop on her journey. Dammit, I really need to stop doing this... Anyway! I won't go into too much detail on this one since it's essentially going to be a direct sequel to Daughter of Eryn Galen and Daughter of Mirkwood. Make of that what you will. ;) Things that are fairly certain at this point are that she's going to be a resident of the Grey Havens and Círdan's Captain of the Guard. And, you know, that she's going to have unsettling dreams and journey to Rivendell and beyond during the War of the Ring. *NOT* a Tenth Walker story. No way. Never happening. As for the pairing? Who'd care to guess? Still undecided on her name, as you may have noticed. I'm waffling between Óleniel, Óluirel and Ólauriel, all of which suit quite well...boohiss. Daughter of Gondor (LotR) Follows Gaelwyn and her daughter Aidawel, the illegitimate child of Boromir, as well as her Uncle Faramir and Aunt Eowyn. Again, just a faint idea that would, of course, tie in with the others, if I write it at all. I may also just combine/integrate some of my ideas for it in with my rewrite of Daughter(s) of Gondor (my planned Legolas/OC story) and do just a one shot, or series of drabbles to cover what I couldn't do there. :) Names subject to change. 07/08/20 Update: In muddling through and (semi-)finalizing some of my ideas and plans for my Post-LotR instalments of this series, I think this story will ultimately be it's own thing, likely taking on the title Daughter of Gondor since another option that I kind of like better has materialized for my AragornArwen=daughter/Legolas fic. Whether or not it's a full-length story or more of a novella, I won't know until it's properly written. Daughter of Arnor (LotR) So this one is very, very tentative. Mostly because I do genuinely like Aragorn's canon pairing with Arwen but I also kind of want this story to be part of my 'Daughters' story-verse. So we'll see. So far the idea is that the OC is going to be one of the Dúnedain (allowing for the possible title Daughter of Arnor, if I do go ahead and connect it to my 'Daughters' story-verse). Beyond that it's pretty rough... It all depends on what I ultimately decide to do about Arwen... :/ Let's just say it's not looking good for her... :S But, it would pave the way for a 'learning to love again' love story between Aragorn and this new OC... We'll see. It may even become a stand-alone story. I do also have some tentative ideas for a pre-War of the Ring bit of romance, though admittedly, I do also have some ideas for integrating that into a 'Daughters' story where Aragorn marries Arwen...a bit of a pre-Arwen young love and lingering feelings that only grow much later after loss and so on... Like I said. We'll see. 07/08/20 Update: So I think this one is going to happen. As you may have seen in other entries for this series, in working on my plans for this story, my Boromir/OC and my Legolas/OC stories, so too have the plans for this one been developed. What are those plans, you ask? Well, for more details on the Aragorn/Arwen side of it, I've gone over it briefly in the ramblings over on the Daughter of Rivendell entry, but tl;dr is that shortly after delivering their second - and to their surprise, elven - child, Arwen does pass away, naturally leaving Aragorn heartbroken. As for where our OC will fit? Well you see, a couple years after Arwen's death Aragorn will receive word from his Dunedain clansmen that some of the orcs and other unsavouries that survived Sauron's fall are encroaching on the Shire. So naturally, Aragorn will want to deal with it himself and in doing so, will reunite with his childhood sweetheart, now a leader among the Dunedain in her own right. And off the story will go from there! There are still some issues for me to iron out, of course - one of the main ones being reconciling Timeline, since I do like the canon idea of Arwen giving the Evenstar (an unnamed jewel in the Legendarium) to Frodo before he returns to the Shire and the subsequent idea I had in my original conception of this story where Frodo returned it to Arwen before sailing who then gave it to 'Isanriel'. Of course, this is semi-problematic given that, as my timeline stands now, Frodo and Co. sail West two years before our OC is born...so yeah. Still some work to do. But it's going to happen, and that's the main thing! Stay tuned! Daughter of Rivendell (LotR) The eldest child of Aragorn and Arwen, Isanriel was different from her siblings in that she seemed to have inherited her mother's waning elf-nature. But when an unexpected engagement and a chaotic uprising threaten everything, she has to turn to the one Elf she is drawn to the most. Legolas/OC The title used to be Bound Souls, Hidden Hearts, but that is definitely changing. I hate it... and since it will (most likely) be part of my existing Daughters of Middle Earth series, it will likely become Daughter(s) of Gondor. So yay better title!! Okay, here's the deal: I started this one when I was in High School...and upon rereading it, it shows. This one is in need of a MAJOR rewrite, because it's kind of terrible right now. Sadly, that means it's likely going to be a while before it's done and up here. BUT, on a more positive note, it is officially going to be linked to my already published LotR fics, with cameos from Aeslin and her family and probably Hilde and hers too! :) VERY tentative titles and names. 07/08/20 Update: As mentioned already in the update on my Boromir/OC entry, over the course of muddling through and finalizing plot ideas for that story, my Aragorn/OC one and this one, a few changes are in order, particularly where it comes to titles. The Boromir/OC story will be taking on the Daughter of Gondor option, while this one will become Daughter of Rivendell. How does this make sense, you ask? Well without giving too too much away, Our OC in this fic will be the second child of Aragorn and Arwen and, as happened with Dior (the son of Beren and Luthien and maternal grandfather to Elrond) despite having a mortal father and elven mother who chose mortality to be with her chosen spouse, our OC will be born elven as her mother, uncles and maternal grandfather and other predecessors were (and thus Half-elven, as it were). And though it kills me to do it, since I do love Aragorn and Arwen together, Arwen unfortunately will not survive long after our OC's birth. So what will Rivendell-raised Aragorn do with the elven daughter he shares with the late daughter of Rivendell's Lord? Why, send her to Rivendell, of course. ;) Untitled Aramis/OC Fic (The Three Musketeers - 2011) When Elise decided to let out part of her home to support her son, she did not expect to eventually see the three disgraced Musketeers who came to live with her as friends. Neither did she expect to be pulled into their adventures when a young man named D'Artagnon came to Paris, bringing with him their chance for redemption. Aramis/OC You know the way your thoughts wander as you’re laying there trying to fall asleep? Yeah….it’s a dangerous time. But, it would seem I’m at my mind and my muse’s mercy. And that I have an impulse control problem. Because this happened. And it won’t go away... Send help! I can't be trusted with my own brain! Okay, so I don't actually know where this one came from, it just sort of happened. It's based solely on the 2011 Three Musketeers movie (featuring Matthew MacFadyen, Orlando Bloom, Luke Evans, Logan Lerman, Christoph Waltz, and so on), though I may borrow the odd detail from the original novels courtesy of Wikipedia since I haven't actually read them myself. It really is rather a fun little movie, honestly, so long as you're going in expecting a corny, entertaining bit of goofiness. I mean, it's got Orlando Bloom as a wonderfully over the top, campy villain, so what's not to love? XD Okay, Story Break-down: I'm taking out James Corden's character (Planchet) - because that was one of the few parts of the movie I found truly annoying, especially how the Musketeers treat him - and replacing him with Elise (and her son Antoin), who will either be the Musketeers' Land Lady or Housekeeper - undecided there, but it's a minor detail, really. Oh, and she's paired with Aramis...because I apparently have a bit of a thing for Luke Evans... :D Untitled Jon Snow/OC Fic (Game of Thrones) With her village destroyed and her parents dead, Elen and her little brother Olly find themselves dangerously alone in the Gift. While Castle Black offers the potential of a safe haven, it's not exactly a safe place for a girl. But for a boy? And with winter coming, Elen is running out of options. Jon Snow/OC This one hit me like a bag of rocks when Season 6 started, so even though I never planned on writing an OC-centric Game of Thrones fic, well, here I am. And I say "Game of Thrones" rather than "A Song of Ice and Fire" because I'm going TV-verse on this one. Not that I won't be drawing on supplementary material from the books to flesh things out, but I'm following the show on this one. It was going quite quickly...but then Captain America: Civil War happened...and Bucky...so yeah...backburner on this one too... It should be fun, though, if a little tricky to implement while sticking fairly close to show canon. Especially with developments in Season 7 (since the idea came about and developed during Season 6). But I think I have a way around the ones that are...contradictory with my vision for this one. Ways that involve the insanely rare Jaime/Dany pairing...Yeah, I'm not sure where that one came from, either. All I know is I'm watching the first real trailer for Season 8 and, I don't know, the idea just started niggling away and now here we are. Season 8 Update: Let's just say that fears about what the last season could do to this story after events of Season 7 have been totally allayed by Season 8. I have ALL the ideas, now and know *exactly* how this one is generally going to play out. CX Yay! Untitled ASoIaF Fic (ASoIaF) One evening before retiring, Ned Stark watches a very young Jon and Robb asleep together, musing on how hard it will be to keep the secret of Jon's true heritage from him, and the necessity of doing so. A companion of sorts to my previous asoiaf one-shot, The Scent of Winter Roses. Naturally, centred around the once assumed, now confirmed theory that Lyanna is Jon's mother. Additionally, I may do a Rhaegar-centred O/S too. I just need the inspiration to come :P Untitled Tywin Lannister/OC fic (ASoIaF/GoT) Tywin Lannister is a practical man. When his preferred heir vows himself to the Kingsguard, he refused to settle for Tyrion as Jaime's replacement. So he does what few thought he'd ever agree to do: he remarries. Lenore has a tough road ahead of her. Carving out a place for herself at Casterly Rock will not be easy, not when she lives in the shadow of Tywin's lost love and his dazzling daughter. But find her place she must, and in doing so, she just may find a place for herself in Tywin's heart. Why does this keep happening to me...here we go. Another idea. And don't ask me where this one came from. I have no idea. We'll see when (and if) this one takes off. Not sure yet which series it'll be based off of, books or show, but we'll see. I just need to figure out house and some more background first, I believe...and, you know...find some time... Untitled Jaime Lannister(?)/OC Fic (ASoIaF/GoT) With flowing pale hair and pale grey eyes that could almost pass for lavender, (A)lys' mistress bought her bond as a child thinking a girl with a Targaryen look and all the musical skill the Last Dragon Rhaegar was said to possess would be a valuable addition to her establishment. But it was that musical skill alone that saved (A)Lys from a Flea Bottom whorehouse when a tragic accident left her face scarred and her 'undesireable'. It was her musical skill that let her earn her keep in one of King's Landing's most elite pleasure houses. And it was her musical skill that drew the attention of a young member of the Kingsguard. Attention that would change her life forever. Here we go...more ideas for a fandom I never planned on writing much of anything in... Okay, gist of this one: Lys or Alys (undecided since I like both) was sold as a child to a high-end brothel in King's Landing with the intent that she would one day work there, but an accident leaves her scarred and not 'pretty' enough. It's only thanks to her musical skill that the establishment's owners decide to keep her instead of pawning her off elsewhere. Cue the romantic interest and relationship that develops underlaying the chaos that the events of the series fosters. Undecided on precisely who yet, since I have potential scenarios that work for both Oberyn and Jaime. However, I'm leaning to Jaime, atm, hence why the summary reflects that... Untitled Rhaegar/Elia/Lyanna Fic (ASoIaF/GoT) It was at Harrenhall, all of Westeros said, that the seeds had been sown for all that was to come. It was at Harrenhall where the Dragon Prince had crowned Winterfell's daughter the Queen of Love and Beauty, slighting his Dornish Princess and shocking the kingdom. That it was at Harrenhall where Lyanna Stark caught the eye of Rhaegar Targaryen But what the kingdom did not know, was that it was at Harrenhall where Lyanna Stark met Elia Martell. That it was at Elia's behest that Rhaegar offered the crown of winter roses to Lyanna. And that it was at Elia's word that Lyanna ran. This one may be another One-Shot, or it may evolve into an AU. I don't know. We'll see how it goes once I get it written. Regardless, it will be centre on Lyanna, Rhaegar and Elia...with the slight twist that it wasn't just Rhaegar Lyanna fell in love with and ran away to be with, but Elia as well. After all, just because canon says she was fragile and sweet doesn't mean she wasn't a daughter of Dorne, through and through. Untitled Lyanna Fic (ASoIaF/GoT) Though it had been a near thing indeed, by the will of the gods, Lyanna Stark survived bringing her son Jaehaerys into the world. Only to learn that the family she had chosen, the man and woman both that she had grown to love, had been brutally cut down and slaughtered by a man claiming to have done it in her honour. But Robert Baratheon had forgotten that Lyanna was every bit a wolf as the sigil of House Stark proclaimed, and he was responsible for destroying her pack. And so she swore vengeance. Because the North Remembers, and Lyanna will never forget. Again, this one may end up as a One-Shot, or it may grow into a multi-chpater fic. I haven't decided yet. It's another instance of 'we'll see'. The summary pretty much says it all, though. How it's going to play out, whether it'll take place immediately after Robert's Rebellion or whether Lyanna will bide her time, is also undecided at this point. Untitled Rhaenys Lives Fic (ASoIaF/GoT) Rhaenys Targaryen remembered very little of her life before. Not as much as Viserys remembered, but certainly more than Daenerys did. She remembered her parents, and her sweet grandmother and cruel grandfather, but she barely remembered Westeros. She could hardly remember the Red Keep or Dragonstone. It all felt like a dream, one that, like sand, slipped through her fingers a little more with each passing year. But like her cousins, a fire burned in her breast for home. For her birthright. A fire that would temper Rhaenys and sustain her through hardship and pain. And together with Daenerys, she intended to embrace the dragon she was. To take back the Iron Throne with Fire and Blood. Yup. Another idea. I know, I'm crazy. Nothing new there. This one will likely be show-verse. This one will centre on the idea that, instead of Aegon being the one Varys and his little birds managed to secret away, it was Rhaenys. That she was sent to safety with Rhaella and young Viserys to Dragonstone and then on to the Free Cities with Viserys and baby Daenerys. And from there, it will follow Rhaenys teaming up with Dany through the course of the series, enduring an ill-fated marriage to Viserys while Dany was sold to Khal Drogo and onward in their journey to retake the Iron Throne. Untitled GoT/ASoIaF OC Fic (ASoIaF/GoT) Vara Sand has a secret. A secret her mother Ashara had been reluctant to share. Ashara was not her mother. Brandon Stark not her father. Nor was Vara her true name. Her name was Visenya. And she was going North to Winterfell. To reunite with the twin she'd never known she had. Jon Snow. Jaehaerys Targaryen. Yet another of those 'One-shot or more than a One-Shot' ideas. I could see it going both ways. Not quite sure where this idea came from, but here it is. And it just won't leave me alone. Premise centres on the idea that Lyanna died giving birth to two babies, a boy and a girl, and that while Ned took Jon North and passed him off as his bastard, Ashara Dayne took Vara South and passed her off as hers. And upon discovering her heritage and the existence (maybe? I'm still debating on whether or not she knew about Jon to some degree) and whereabouts of her twin, Vara (and Ashara?) go North. Probably in time to encounter Robert and Co. at Winterfell. Muahaha... Untitled GoT/ASoIaF Jaime/Sansa Fic (ASoIaF/GoT) As you may be able to tell, I've been a little hooked on Jaime recently...and on top of that, I've been on a wee bit of a Jaime/Sansa kick. Especially the 'Sansa married to Jaime instead of Tyrion' trope. So naturally, my brain decided to come up with its take. How will it be different? It won't go that wildly AU as most using that trope seem too (which is usually awesome, but I digress). Instead, it'll mostly follow canon trajectories...with a couple key differences. Like Sansa being married to Jaime instead of Tyrion and, on the road to the Vale, discovering she's newly pregnant with Jaime's baby. And considering all the awesomeness that is Jaime going North in the Season 7 finale and his anticipated arrival in Season 8? Yeah, it's going to be fun. May be a short fic. May be a long one. No idea, just yet. Will probably start during approx. Season 7 or 8 instead of all the way back at their wedding. We'll see. Stay tuned! Untitled Peter Maximoff/OC Fic (X-Men) So I went and saw Dark Phoenix. Enjoyed it. Then I felt like watching Apocalypse. Bad idea. Now I have this lovely OC Plunny gnawing at my brain. No formal summary yet, but here's the deal. We're going to be operating under the comic-canon/film-verse headcanon that Nightcrawler is Raven's child with Azazel (just because I want to play with the idea, so why not CX) and that she was in East Berlin to find him specifically, not just to break up a mutant fight club. This is where my lovely new OC will come in: no finalized name yet but Milo seems to be trying to stick in my head... She'll be either another mutant fighter like Angel the club's ringleaders had or possibly even a mutant they coerce/force to find other mutants (all depending on what her powers end up being, but the latter is looking more likely at this point) to put in their cage matches. She has a brief bonding moment with Kurt, leading him to insist they take her with when Raven busts him out, since he's such a pure, sweet soul. 3 Ultimately, the pairing will be her and Quicksilver, but naturally since she's jaded and scarred (mentally and emotionally...and possibly literally as well from her time with the Mutant fight club) she will butt heads with his lackadaisical attitude and sheltered upbringing, etc, etc at first before feelings develop. You get the drift. And later on, of course, some paternal Magneto for both her and Peter? Perhaps even some...'Opa' Magneto? ;D Oh, the potential for lovely fluff... 3 Story will probably go from Apocalypse to the end of Dark Phoenix. Just because they both gave me all the ideas... Untitled Charles Xavier/OC Fic (X-Men) And because my brain just doesn't know when to quit, it seems... The idea for the Quicksilver/OC story hit and I indulged in it, hoping I could get the immediate urge out of my system, right? Well, it sort of worked? But in the meantime, it seems my brain and my imagination have conspired against me... It now wants to create an entire X-Verse series... *facepalm* This one will be - you guessed it - a Charles/OC fic. Unsure of a whole lot of details, so far, but I know a bit. Unfortunately, most are technically spoilers so far. What I will share? Her name will likely be Erin, her ability will definitely involve force fields and there will probably be some surrogate family vibes between her, Charles and Jean just because. Oh, and some fun fluff and Awkward!Charles when Moira pops back into the story for Apocalypse. *snicker* Will probably be post-70s-Days of Future Past to the end of Dark Phoenix. Untitled Alex Summers/OC Fic (X-Men) Yes, yet another entry...this one a Havok/OC. No favourite for her name yet, though. Gist that I've got so far will be that she was a post-First Class student, which is where she meets Alex. Lovely relationship stuff ensues before he gets shipped off to Vietnam and...you guessed it: still working on details. But she will be around during Apocalypse. Mostly because I want to play with a Mutant who can control plants/nature and Charles' 'favourite tree'. ;P Yeah, I know I'm crazy, but the idea wouldn't leave me alone and there it is. A story idea grew from there. Other than that, details are still being developed. Will probably be post-First Class to the end of Apocalypse and possibly into Dark Phoenix. Untitled Erik Lehnsherr/OC Fic (X-Men) Next addition to my (potential, but likely if we're being honest...) X-Verse series: Since the Quicksilver/OC story hit and I started (unwillingly, dammit) musing on more and more OCs, the idea for this one struck and it just won't. Let. Go. I usually don't like replacing canon characters, but this is an odd case? You see, we don't really know a *whole* lot about Peter's mom beyond that she had a relationship (obviously...) with Erik. So my brain decided it wanted to fill in the blanks...and expand...and play. So here we are! A sort of canon/sort of OC take on Peter's mom, tentatively named Winifred or 'Edie.' She'll fit in canon, sort of semi-replacing Peter's mom as we see her? It's hard to explain, tbh. What I have in mind will make more sense once it's written. Like with the others, details are a little sparse but overarching story is roughly there. And again, most of what I have worked out is effectively spoilers. Ultimately, though, it'll involve a past relationship with each other, Erik leaving before Peter (and maybe Wanda?) are born, flashing through 70s Days of Future Past and Apocalypse events - including other relationships for each, like Erik/Magda and Edie/Little Sister's Dad - before some manner of reunion happens and Erik and Edie reunite and ultimately get together for real? Still working on that...though I'm currently leaning toward thermal-manipulation... And weirdly enough, in my head she also vaguely reminds me of Blake Lively a la 'Age of Adaline' (though brunette, come to think of it). Make of that what you will, but I think it's a safe bet to assume she'd be a good facecast for Edie. I will probably keep Little Sister Maximoff and may include Wanda (that I haven't entirely decided, yet). Oh, and she'll likely be a mutant...just haven't decided on powers, yet. Unless extreme patience counts... *snicker* Will probably be post-70s Days of Future Past to the end of Dark Phoenix with some flashbacks-recollections to pre-First Class and onward? Untitled Raven/Azazel Fic (X-Men) Not entirely sure about this one. If it happens, it'll likely just be a one-shot or mini-fic 'prequel' to the others in the series to set-up the comic-canon/movie-headcanon that Mystique plus Azazel equals Kurt. Obviously post-First Class but pre-Azazel's death. Duh. ;P Untitled Logan/OC Fic (X-Men) And finally (I hope, but more likely 'for now.'..especially considering how my brain seems to like the idea of giving Storm an OC...and maybe Kurt and Hank each one too...*facepalm*) the Logan/OC story. This one's actually a re-emerged/re-imagined idea from about a million years ago. In contemplating my Quicksilver/OC story, I contemplated appropriating this OC's powers for Peter's OC (since the idea's really cool, if I do say so myself), but it didn't quite fit her. Then my brain came up with this insistence on creating an X-verse story-verse and low and behold...Logan's Lady is back. *le sigh* With some tweaks, of course. The original idea was to have her be Erik's kid? Not so much anymore, though I'm now weirdly contemplating a relative of Hank's. Maybe not sister, but perhaps cousin? We'll see. Either way, she's being updated and adapted to the Revised Timeline stories. Atm, it's looking like her name will be Dorothea or 'Theia' (a nickname, but also her codename, I'm thinking) but Logan will call her 'Dot'. 3 Power? Still probably water-affinity - whether or not the water-whips will be kept is still up for debate, but the healing/youthening (I'm declaring it a word...) aspect will remain. Story? Post-First Class Student turned school nurse/doctor who sticks around after the students leave in the 70s part of Days of Future Past. Where she - you guessed it - meets Logan. ;) Story will progress, etc, etc. We'll see what happens. And final point I should probably make that actually applies to this whole proposed Story-verse: the movie 'Logan' will not be canon in this series. Though I can recognize that it was insanely well done on a great many levels, I just cannot bring myself to like it - I personally thought the choice to make it R-rated ruined it. But that's beside the point, here. Will probably be post-First Class/70s Days of Future Past on to beyond Dark Phoenix...just so I can try and orchestrate my inner hopeless romantic's desire for a HEA. The Gods Will Always Smile on Brave Women (Vikings) A young Englishwoman serving in King Ecbert's court has a chance encounter with a particular Priest. From that moment on, her life is never the same as he tells her everything she ever wanted to know about the Northmen, and leads her to a choice: stay in England as a serving maid, or leave with the Northmen to find her way as a Shieldmaiden. Athelstan/OC or Rollo/OC Hey, we'll see where this one goes. I just started spontaneously writing it one day, and already have most of it planned out in my head. Will likely be a short one. NOW ON HOLD! With the events in Seasons 3 and 4 messing with my muse on this one, I need to reconcile things that happened with the story in my head... FURTHER ON HOLD ...I really need to catch up with the rest of Season 4...and start Season 5... Untitled Stargate Fic (Stargate) Over the holidays, the fam decided they wanted to make their way through Stargate SG-1 again. And since they were holding me prisoner with puzzles...I ended up watching the early episodes along with them while I worked and what do you know? It reignited my interest in this story. It's a High School one that I'm likely going to completely revamp and reimagine, but the bare bones will likely remain the same: after their run-in with the za'tarc detector in Divide and Conquer (S04E05) Sam and Jack act on their feelings (to which end, I'd (hand-)written a small one-shot that I now need to locate - from before my days of actually going so far as to write actual smut - that will likely end up becoming the basis for my prologue) and it results in a little girl named Miranda. Now, looking back at what I'd written back when I first started this story in H/S, it desperately needs to be revamped. Just how much of a revamp remains to be seen, but in the original incarnation, the bulk of the story was set to take place once Miranda - or Andy - had grown up enough to join the Stargate program. . .and of course, trouble would ensue, of both the family drama and save the world varieties. Now, though, I'm thinking it might be much more fun to keep the bulk of the focus on little Andy's childhood and how her existence would affect the events of the show. The idea has also begun percolating that, instead of a Jack/Sam story (no matter that its pretty much my serious OTP of any fandom, which is saying something...) we might make it a Jack/OC story instead? It is my thing, after all, and it would make a little more sense, in some regards. I mean, no matter if they managed to not have a 'relationship' while agreeing to co-parent in some capacity, one of my issues with making this story work is that I just can't quite see both Sam and Jack agreeing to some of the missions in the show and risking both of them getting killed if there was a baby/child waiting at home, you know? No matter how much the SG Program meant to both of them, I just can't see them risking leaving Andy alone. So there's that to consider, too. We'll see. It might end up being Jack/Sam=Andy, or it might be Jack/OC=Andy with the ultimate pairing being Jack/Sam. Or the Jack/Sam might disappear altogether... Who knows. I think serious writing will have to commence first. *shrugs* Regardless, I anticipate lots of angst, sweetness and fluff. Because it's me. And I seem to do that a lot... Untitled Legion Fic (Legion) A continuation of my previous fic. Follows Tessa post-legion. Unfortunately, this one needs a complete plot--actually, not just a complete plot, A plot-before I can really get started. I have some scenes, and some smaller ideas, but no unifying direction. We'll see if this one ever gets off the ground. For the moment, though, it is on hiatus. But, as a reviewer suggested and I only recently put together, the new show Dominion, on SyFy, is a continuation/spin-off of Legion, so we'll see what happens once I've seen a few episodes. Special Mention: Filia Maris (Pirates of the Caribbean) I may or may not add more to this one. I have a few ideas floating around in my head right now, but I'm not sure when (or if) anything will come of them There may also be a possible Tudors fic sometime in the future, but I'm not sure on that one yet, as well as a one or two Disney ones. There's always something going on! Stay tuned!! And Happy Reading, DLA |
