WIP Folder Game

I was tagged by @curiouselleth!

Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

Fun! I'd love asks on any of these, most I haven't talked about here at all! (Except for the ones in the last folder I list for obvious reasons lol.)
