Okay, so this is a story idea that developed out of me walking into the middle of a discussion about two characters - Zaeed Massani and Kaidan Alenko - and my brain hitting the brakes HARD as it sort of exploded with an idea...

Idea: What if Kaidan and Zaeed meet prior to ME3 (or ME2, I suppose, if you have Zaeed on your Horizon team)? What if they met early, just after BAaT when Kaidan flees for the Terminus? What if shortly after they meet and part ways, Kaidan was picked up by Cerberus...?

It's mostly a bunch of ideas in a document, but here's a rough snippet from when they first meet...

Zaeed Massani was not a man to back down from a confrontation.  He hadn’t done it when Vido turned a gun on him ‘cause he didn’t like Zaeed’s views on things, he’d be damned if he’d do it under any other circumstances.  Hell, it’d only been two years since he’d pulled his head out of his arse to start rebuilding his reputation after that fiasco…

…yet here he was, hands in the air as he faced off with some young git whose eyes were as big as Jesse's barrel, too scared or smug or just plain stupid to care that his life hung in the balance over the next few seconds.

Helluva way to start the morning, kid.

Kid.

Dark hair, soulful eyes.  He reminded Zaeed of Jessie’s kid, the one she claimed was his.  

He slammed the lid back tight on that box of memories, but a singular, gravelly whisper of a voice leaked out, taunting, Too late t’do anything ‘bout that now.

He shook his head with a sharp jerk and lifted his hands higher where this kid could see them, grousing, “All right with you if I put my pants on?  It’s fucking freezing in here.”

The kid stood very still, unnaturally so. Quiet and observant, he kept both his eyes and his weapon locked on Zaeed.  Still, there was a second – just a fraction of one, really – where something flickered behind his eyes. Zaeed wasn't one of those fanciful thinkers whose bleeding hearts got them into more trouble than not, but a moment after, the kid lowered his weapon.

so a while back, i think someone tagged me in this WIP game &it’s been sitting my drafts forever but i cannot for the LIFE of me remember who tagged me and what the rules are lol, so if it was you, HERE YA GO BABE!

Ooh this is fun

Reincarnation transyyh After all the breath, and the dirt, and the fires are burnt EH5 KurTou urGohWanders Forsython At least one thing just called Untitled Document because I live on the edge apparently

Messy! Club! Trashfire! Seb!

I think this got subsumed into the "what if Bucky went through a trashfire twink phase" but:

“Who’s the most fun to party with?” they ask, and Anthony smirks. Can’t even help it.

“The thing is,” Seb had said, the first time Mackie had invited him out. Chewing his lip, brushing his hair back, looking sweet and winsome and sleazy all at once. “I kind of… went through a messy phase.”

“Yeah, your, what was it, Chelsea days? I’ve seen the photos, kid.”

Thank you for the ask!

This might be the wip I am most likely to finish because I actually know where I want to go with it. The biggest obstacle is I keep wobbling on whether on I want to go modern AU on it (easier) or canon era (more thematically on point to what I want to do.)

What you need to know: Jaime and Brienne are the “soulmates” in The Good Place, Varys= Michael, Bran= Janet

*********************

The man took a long look at her. His initial surprise settled into something more angular; his brow smoothed to become a punctuation of the cynical twist of his mouth. 

“Yeah, ok,” the man snorted. Brienne did not know why she’d thought the afterlife would bring her a relief from judgment. 

Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous! Send me an ask with the title(s) that most intrigues or interests you and I’ll post a snippet of it or tell you something about it!

Putting this all under the cut, because it is LONG lol. (And I promise that I have more for other fandoms/ships coming soon - however, Jonsa fics take up 99.9% of the space in my current WIP list. There’s only one on this list that doesn’t include them, and the other has them and two other ships all as main focuses)

I was tagged @anarchycox to post the names of my wip documents as-is. Send me an ask with the name of the doc and I’ll tell you about it/give an excerpt!

- PT/Soldier Merwin AU

- Merhartwin - Daisy babsat by Harry and Merlin, Eggsy gets hurt on mission.

- An Offer You Can Sink Your Teeth Into

- A Year in Thirty Weeks

- Amnesia Eggsy Merwin

Thanks! It was an idea I had after watching ATLA for the first time, which is basically the canon events except Luke and Leia are waterbenders through Padmé. Luke was an excellent moisture farmer because of it, though he hated Tatooine, and the main reason I wanted to write it was because I had An Image of Luke and Leia fighting Vader on Hoth, where they made the snow tunnels collapse on top of him.

However, I only got 2k in before losing interest and getting stuck, and I haven’t touched that file in two years 😔
