FIC IDEAS

There is an original work universe on AO3 called Mage in a wolf pack. Pretty much the main thing is that a Mage called Jamie is captured by a werewolf pack the wolves think he is a hunter cause he worked with them but in reality, he was a slave to the hunters. Cue misunderstandings and angst.

These fics are so amazing and angsty i love them all but there is only like 30 of them total and i literally squeel every time a new one apears. The people who write them are amazing.

Now i take like years to write a fic if i ever finish one enough to feel like posting it so i am posting all my ideas here. If Anyone wants to steal it and write it i would be delighted to read it.

1. Jamie has a little sibling who is a werewolf that the hunters also kidnapped.

a. Were the sibling is obviously attached to Jamie and says hes their brother but they think Jamie tricked the kid into and try to break the brainwashing they think happened.

b. Or Jamie is worried the wolves will take their anger out on their sibling and they pretned not to know them. This could go on were the sibling sneaks Jamie out of the Wolf camp and they hunt them down.

2. The hunters had captured another young human mage and were forcing Jamie to train them in magic so they could have a larger operation. And while all the angst and misunderstanding happen, Jamie is desperetly trying to protect the younger mage that reminds him so much of himself.

3. The wolf pack kept Jamie alive to train a young wolf that is also a mage (i commonly think in these if a mage does not get training the magic will act out and cause problems like spontaneous fires to the point of being dangerous to the mage and everyone around them) Jamie is training them for awhile when they get captured by Hunters that were allied with Eskender and then Jamie is attempting to protect the mage pup while waiting for the Wolfs to come rescue the pup.

4. A soul mate spin on it were Dimitri goes to kill Jamie when they are raiding the camp only to find out they are soul mates.

5. A more heart breaking one were the collar is permanent unless the person who controls it dies and the wolves only find put after trapping Jamie in it that he was a Slave. Adding in the collar auto enforcing commands. And not letting the wearer of the collar be away from the controler for long so who ever put the collar on has to learn to watch what they say to not accidently make it a command.

6. Jamie is the son of a high level royalty or royal advisor and the wolves bring Jamie to them to face trial for his crimes.

7. Jamie is not the only hunter they capture and the wolves lock them all together only to find out the next morning how the hunters treat Jamie.

8. The wolves reconize Jamie was a slave to the hunters but it take extremly long for him to realise they are different but he also doesnt know a life not as a slave and the trauma of the hunters and keeps on acting like a slave even as the wolves tell him he doesnt have to and its a slow process of him learning how to be free.

9. The wolves find out thst Jamie was a slave when hunters capture a bunch of them and Jamie. Jamie manages to get them out but can't leave the hunter camp due to the collar so they have to leave him and come back later to rescue him. Jamie does not think they are coming back.

i’ve done a lot of reflecting about a lot of things. i really want this summer to be the one where i make change, and one way i wanted to establish that was with writing. i want to update you guys more, and build on our relationship. so, i’ve come to share some, hopefully exciting, news. i’m finally writing again—properly—with that same spark i had when writing tetos or showbiz or any of my other stories. i’m excited to see where this will take me, and i’m pacing myself. this story has lived in my mind for nearly a year now, and i’ve only just felt that now is the right time to start writing it.

part of my change includes transparency, to relish the journey of slow writing, writers block, and mistakes. so, i’ll start: the prologue probably took me months to finalise. i would write maybe 50 words a day when i started and then i’d just give up, open a new doc, or abandon the work completely. today, it stands at nearly 3k words (!!!!) and if you know me, you know much i love to include visual imagery, and trust me there’s a lot! the first chapter is also 8k words in, and very heavy, which is exciting. i'm so very proud of myself for finally finding that spark.

and the people who double-triple-quadruple-etc. paragraph break every single line of a fic

The Ryou event is only a week away, and early on in my fic, Ryou finds 3 tarot cards: The Fool, Death, and the 7 of Swords.

Most people can probably guess the first two. The Fool is obviously Ryou (Yami B calls him a fool multiple times in the first section. It's also just Ryou's card as far as architypes). The Death card usually represents endings/transformation/change. It's foreshadowing in the fic on how their current selves/relationship has ended, and how they're both going to change/transform by the end.

I chose the 7 of Swords for Yami Bakura b/c I feel like it fits him as well as the Fool fits Ryou. It's a card that represents not only cunning, stealth, thievery, and deceit, (in general, it's the sussy bitch card which is perfect for Yami B) but it can also be a card about achieving one's goal unconventionally--also appropriate for Yami B being the RPG villain in the show about card games lol

Thanks for @vaguelygenius for sketching this version of this greedy little thief holding the Items instead of swords :D

What makes YOU a blank slate but anybody disabled and / or lbgtqia+ and / or BIPOC an OC if ANY of those aspects of themselves are highlighted / part of the fic?
