Here begins the year end w.i.p. dump. This year, weâre starting with some writing even though Iâm hella nervous to even have this here-
Since this is a very new thing, this might be organized weird so bare in mind with me- Iâll be listing the pieces with some description, thoughts and whatever else.
But as a warning: Most stories are not edited, completed or planned to be completed and some where either quick ideas I wanted to get down or just got really into. Some stories also might have an outline I left there for things that needed to be added or whatever. Not all of them have the plot points, but a few do. Also feel free to ignore some titles, Iâm sure some people can relate with just place holder stuff
Stories with friends characters
this goes here first cause I love and appreciate my friends-
CardinalS1n
Spying in Craglorn Word Count: 3,005 With CardinalS1nâs (twitter) character, Maâsaka
This story is actually paired with the Art Fight revenge attack I did for CardinalS1n this year. On the site, I included a little bit of writing to go with the piece but then it somewhat turned into itâs own thing afterwards. Was gonna surprise them with it but I didnât have too much motivation for this as itâs been almost two years since Iâve played ESO, so rusty knowledge is not good for my thought process or confidence in writing.
Iâm pretty canon compliant and Iâm not sure if itâs possible for multiple Vestigeâs to exist in this, but in my own story I have one in each of the three allianceâs so frick it, combine more.
I know whoâs watching them with that last point in the outline here, but Iâll keep that a secret-
emizel
Ghost training Word Count: 1,586 With emizelâs character, Red
Kinda a quick little idea I had after drawing a thing for them that will be included in a post later. Given I donât know to much about Red, this didnât go very far, but I imagine that her and Aura would have gotten along. Then with the Hunters being a problem for the Dwellerâs, I imagine thereâd be a little more protection in their friendship! Not to mention the fighting of âLet me protect you!â âNo, let me protect YOU!â. but thatâs not exactly in here and itâs more of a middle ground thing in this story ahkjds. Not gonna stop Red from being like that with Snatcher probably.
I did lowkey think of adding a fight in between the girls and Snatcher so heâd get off their backs. One of the instances where a small idea didnât take over my brain. Spoiler alert: Though heâs strong, with the power of friendship (and time magic), he loses.
Wasnât sure if Red was able to talk, but considering how she died I imagined not- Also wasnât sure if she was part Dweller so I didnât have her as one in here, I just know you said you were basing her looks as a spirit off them a bit.
Konan720
Brother from another timeline? Word Count: 2,376 With Konan720âČs character, Julia
I started this right after I posted that drawing of him with Corona and the little kitten patchâs- I donât know, I just liked the idea of siblings meeting in alternate timelines even if itâs no way canon, especially since Alferes and Julia share parents on different levels for different timelines. Corona was also briefly thought of being put in here but I scrapped the idea cause I wanted some adorable sibling actions.
Going into context of why heâs there; Time Piece. Itâs always a Time Piece. Itâs actually stored in his backpack right now and his elder sister (Hat Adult) gave it to him, basically saying âGo have an adventure of your own!â. He actually had no plans to but then during his magic training with Snatcher kinda led to him being transported to this dimension anyway. Thanks sis.
Since I stopped writing probably like halfway or so, Iâll explain where I was going with this. So when Julia returns to the park with Moonjumper, they find Alferes still there and the boy basically explains heâs been separated from his family and is kind of living in the park for now. He also confuses Moonjumper to probably no end as he keeps staring in Moonjumperâs direction often until the end (basically he can see Moonjumper even when heâs invisible and he has many questions to why his dad is here and looks different). Much to the ghosts charge in, Julia practically drags Alferes home with her so he can at least get something to eat. Iâm not sure where it would go from there besides some more questioning stares and Moonjumper being cautious around him, but I know near the end when he figures out the right amount of magical output he needs to leave, Alferes speaks with Julia about his family and even shows a picture of them, surprising the girl (the photo would be of him, Aura, Moonjumper, a Rough Patch and possibly Snatcher being a nugget putting up bunny ears behind Moonjumperâs head). Not sure what their final words to each other would have been but I know Alferes would have said something along the lines of âtake care of this version of my dad for me.â
Afterwards, there would have been a little writing thing for when he returns home, Snatcher fretting over the poor boy and how they could have been in deep trouble with Aura for loosing him. Cue Aura walking up, thankfully not heard any of that, to take her boy home. Cut to them being in the city where they live (which is actually that one town in the Alpha/Beta GFB had at the end with Hat Adult singing) and Moonjumper and Hat Adult are out in the snow singing a duet and dancing. Alferes would smile thinking about how he might not have liked to go on adventures, but he was thankful his sister inadvertently put him in one, even broaching the topic with Aura about it. Then it would end with probably Moonjumper and Hat Adult dragging them into their little show before going home to celebrate their childrenâs return.Â
Halloween Encounter Word Count: 3,921 With Konan720âČs character, Julia
This is was supposed to be a slight continuation to the field trip story that was written up. I didnât get very far cause again, wasnât sure what to add into the middle. My only ideas were for maybe going to a late night diner for food and probably catching the tail end of trick or treaters and Aura getting some compliments on her âcostumeâ, but mostly had no clue.
A Hat in Time stories
Former canonical ideas Iâve changed my story, yet again, so just posting some things Iâve written that somewhat tie into the original or were part of the original.
Hunters Return Word Count: 3,551
I wrote this back when the Death timeline wasnât the canonical story. It is now (again), but given Iâm actually writing for it, not 100% sure how much of this could be incorporated into the story. Iâll still share it though.
Unused lines for the Time Travel story
I think the Time Travel story is the only writing piece Iâve written where I kept some of the other writing ideas. Some of this is alternate to what was actually published, other things were planned to be incorporated into the story. Figured Iâd share even if itâs not really a story.
Iâm sad the fight between Aura and Snatcher wonât happen now, as I think I was really excited for it, but I might add part of it into the new canonical story. It just really hits differently here since, well, sheâs not dead and thereâs a lot more hurt for Snatcher in this scenario. I might continue to write for this so I can at least get to that part though.
AU
Fairy Snatchin Word Count: 3,552
Is this... a mother fricking Hyrule Warriors x A Hat in Time story? That I wrote? This idea basically started from a drawing (which will be in another post), but brain additionally added âHaha what if Snatcher was Wizzroâ then we came to an idea for another drawing. But guess what? Brain also went no to the drawing and was like âYouâre gonna write it frickerâ so here this is. The drawing idea was just gonna be Snatcher holding a little fairy Aura and it being cute. Course, now we have this.
This might be weird, especially on Snatcherâs part. Basically, this is Snatcher, Alpha/Beta Snatcher, and Wizzroâs personalities rolled into one being.
Second Chances Word Count: 2,607
Playing around with ideas can be good and bad, here we kinda have a mix- basically, this is âWhat if when Aura repairs the Grand Hourglass, it brings everyone Vanessa killed back to life?â This idea has been in my mind since first adding in the concept that fixing the large Time Piece returns the forest back to itâs previous state, but I felt that might have been a little weird. Now exploring it a bit more, a bit of this idea is incorporated into the canon story.
Self insert hours
Aka, listing some absolute selfshipping trash with one regular thing
Hand holding with a DJ Word Count: 4,319 No Straight Roads Self Insert scenario
Contrary to the title, there is no hand holding, I never quite got there-
Youâll also notice a parentheses note in there. That was a reminder to myself incase I forgot about the original thing mentioned.
So this was supposed to be based off of this post and originally I thought of drawing it followed by me suplexing DJ or whatever, but you see where that went. I also wrote this WAY before I got NSR, then of course when I got it, stopped this and never went back. I have different self insert shenanigans thoughts now after knowing the full story, so this is semi irrelevant-.
Basically from where I left off, it was going to be more shopping with DJ, getting at least two more textâs, one from the White 1010 (saying âYes Maâam! ( * ^ * )7âł) and Neon J (saying âYouâre dead to meâ) (or something like that), then nearing the end of the night we finally reach the hand holding (*le gasp*) and then hey, DJ gives me a bag and leaves. Returning to the mansion with Neon J a little banged up and ready to play fight, but stops when he notices the bag. Opening it up, reveals it was the console looked at in the store.
The Big Parade pt 2. Word Count: 5,265 A Hat in Time Self Insert scenario
Once again, the thing in the title didnât exactly get written-
This goes with a drawing thatâll be in another post, but theyâre both based from that artwork for the Vinyl/Cassette tapes of the second take of the Big Parade. It was really cool to know it was official Snatcher played the violin and me being self shipping trash, had the idea of a duet. It was gonna be strictly the drawing but then I had an urge to try and write something self shippy as Iâve never done that before.
Basically the concert does wind up going fine in the end, only minor inconveniences to my hearing and anxiety kicking in. Then later when the little family is watching it on the TV, everyone points at themselves and gets excited. With how I am and when it comes to me being shown, thatâs when everyone is being supporting nuggets and cheering for me lol
What's a ghost dragon gotta do to get some kid to leave? Word Count: 502 A Hat in Time Self Insert scenario, with a slight mention of emizel Â
This is so short I almost donât want to post this. I know part of the reason I didnât continue was because I wanted to finalize the dragon design for my actual WinttiaGloam handle then convert it to ghost for this, but never quiet did that. Hopefully I will be able to continue with this though since I found it again.
Based from emizelâs little comment about how sheâs like the Hat Kid to my Snatcher.
Iâd say more on what the story was going to be like, but I think I might have enough thoughts to finish it at some point. If not, Iâll be informing her of my thoughts!
