WIPs list—some ideas, headcanons, and fragments (have no energy for these now, but hope to return to them later):

The Tale of the White Serpent - original, a dark xenophilic romance set in a fascist state, a solid list of warnings included.

Second Chances - XC3 early post-canon. The memory of Aionios is lost, but communication between the worlds is established. Someone meets their lost friends and loved ones, and someone meets their murderer. Dirk/Crys.

Element of Chaos - XC3 not-so-early post-canon. Two people searching for lost memories and their place in the old-new world after a thousand-year war. Teach/Ashera and Teach/Zeon (not that it's about romance, though).

Sparks Fly Up - XC3 pre-canon, a little adventure with OCs. Partially published in Russian.

Favorite games: Disco Elysium, Dragon Age Origins, Pathfinder WOTR, Rogue Trader, Hollow Knight and Silksong, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Zelda, The Witcher series

Favorite books: Earthsea series, The Witcher series, Blindsight

V (Strategist) — The Emperor Order, structure, control. Holds the system together, manages, and protects. Often feels isolated in his responsibility, but without him, the system would lose its backbone.

V (Beast) — The Devil / The Tower Obsession, transgression, compulsion. Breaks limits and boundaries. Magnetic and destructive. Also the sudden collapse of what no longer holds. Not safe, but necessary.

Persephone — Death Transformation through (self-)destruction. Ends what must end. Walks through darkness to return changed. Both victim and destroyer.

The Girl — The Moon Mystery, illusion, hidden depth. Lives in twilight. Holds what cannot be spoken. Her presence is felt more than seen.

Alter — The High Priestess Intuition, emotion, hidden knowledge. Speaks through feeling, not logic. Connects what others cannot see. Vulnerable to absorbing others’ pain.
