Hi!! I want to rewrite The Wedding Date (2005) to be less lame, and also just more fun. A big part of that movie is the fact that the main male character is an escort. I don't really want to do a fic set in the past, because I feel like I'd be more liable to fall into harmful stereotypes, or be perpetuating those stereotypes unknowingly, because I admittedly do not know much about that industry, because of various cultural taboos. On the other hand, I know that technology entering the industry has changed a lot, so I'm worried about balancing suspension of disbelief (ie similar enough to reality to be plausible but not overly specific).

I might just be thinking too much about all this; it is fanfiction after all, so there's inherent liberty, but I just want to do the topic justice since that's a lot of my problem with the movie.

I'm in a bit of a slump and don't know what to prioritize.

Descriptions:

Murder Izuku: omegaverse mafia AU where Izuku and Aizawa are as deranged for each other as can be expected. There's no age gap or teacher/student stuff. I have a lot of this written.

He bit me!: Aizawa is a freak in the sheets and no one saw that coming. Aged up Izuku, and he didn't go to UA. I've pretty much finished this one.

Izuku/Yamada get paired with Hitoshi/Aizawa for an undercover mission. Pretty much just a nice little meet cute. I have most of this finished.

yamada/aizawa/izuku: No quirk AU, a miscommunication, getting together, poly negotiations fic. This one would probably require more work-- it'd be multiple chapters, probably 3-5 at maybe 10k words. I have bits and pieces of this written.

jasper/bella oneshot: Kind of a cowboy AU? Bella gets turned into a vampire and basically becomes a hermit... with livestock. I have almost all of this written, I'm just not sure how to end it, so I would be open to suggestions if you vote for this option, regardless of if this wins the poll.

aro/bella oneshot: Kind of a no Cullens AU, Bella's kind of just freeballing it since her sire abandoned her. I have this like... 95% done.

Bella revenge fic: The Cullens never come back after they leave in New Moon, and Bella has a whole character arc and decides to burn their lives down. It ends up being a Bella/Aro fic. I have none of this written lmao, and I don't know for certain that it would be a one shot either?

Another DLTDFY chapter: This is my slowburn polyship rewrite. I posted part one of chapter 16 today, so I could figure out the back half and maybe more? I don't know how much people care tbh.

Another Running against the world that's turning chapter: This is my HP/Twilight crossover with Jasper/Harry, it's also kind of a HP AU since there's some fun lore bits that I shuffled around. The next chapter is ready to be posted, I just think that the following ones might be horribly large so I'm not sure I want to pull the trigger yet.

FROM THE VAULT: This is essentially a bunch of ideas that I ended up abandoning for continuing my longer-in-progress fics, or oneshots that I just got in the zone for. They're all in various states of started.

Happy Accidents: a yamada/aizawa/izuku time travel fic where Izuku gets dumped in the past and they're all the same age. There's angst and cuteness and a happy ending. Izuku becomes more chaotic with less obligations and perfectionism.

Heaven and Hell Were Words to Me: a persephone and hades aideku greek mythology AU. It's more about independence than a dark romance thing. It's more artsy than I usually go for, but I think it would be good.

Ride or Die: A Robin/Eddie friendship fic. There could be some romance, but I have the friendship bit finished, and I'd be happy to leave it as is-- just being a cute slice of life.

Steddie: Some midwestern angst and a no upside down AU are on both on the table. The angst would be more of a character study, the AU would be pretty fluffy but ya know... still period typical homophobia.

Tony/Harry: There are two options here: (1) a soulmark post wizarding war AU with some time skips before the plot of Iron Man 1 and Avengers 1 kicks in, but I could just post the Iron Man 1 part and could see if there's enough interest to get into the Avengers 1 plot. The other option (2) is a Master of Death/Merchant of Death fic. It's an accidental meeting AU where the ministry interfaces with the avengers, but there's some extra supernatural fated fun shit.

Nobody's Soldier: A Bucky character study. Time jumps through his life, PTSD, angst. I don't remember if I made this gay, but I did make it post endgame... so yeah... ouch.

Teaser:

“I just like some of them,” Harry mumbled and scuffed his socked foot on the floor. 

“Oh, do tell,” Sirius encouraged, suddenly more awake at the prospect of gossip. 

“I just mean Rosalie, she’s the nicest person I’ve met at that school,” Harry said calmly and he almost thought he had it… until he started blushing. 

“No, no, no, there’s something else,” Sirius stood and shuffled over, looking like a bog witch for all intents and purposes. 

“No, there’s not,” Harry insisted. 

“Oh, I think there is,” Sirius insisted mischievously. 

“Remus,” Harry whined, “Sirius is being mean to me.”

As an end of year craft, my partner and I decided to try book binding for the first time and of course had to do a fic/series worthy of it.

We’re both fans of @lukewarm-beef-stew and so we bound ‘for something as sweet as pain’ and ‘addicted to danger (what’s your name stranger?)’.

We’re really proud of how it turned out!

Summary:

Izuku didn’t consider himself a particularly violent person.

In fact, he went out of his way to be kind, to do his part for his fellow man.

But even a kind person has their limits, and this was his.

Someone had taken something from him. Something that was his.

This had to be rectified.

Belated reminder that your favorite crossover updated!

Teaser:

“My hands are a bit cold, sorry about that,” he warned Harry before he led them both through the motions of a standard physical exam. 

‘Cold’ was an understatement. The doctor’s probing fingers felt like icicles. Harry thought that he must be the leader of their little group. He was the oldest of them he’d seen, and clearly appeared to be the most highly educated. 

It seemed like they were both disappointed when nothing was revealed, which made Harry’s lips twitch. Did he really think he could poke me and a magic laser would come out?

After that was apparently deemed non-threatening which Harry found fucking hilarious honestly.

Harry was having a horrible fucking day, thank you very much.

Oh my gosh, I have so many MHA fanfic ideas it's crazy.

I have ideas for longfics where Izuku has a different quirk or like feels differently about having ofa and shit gets crazy.

Completely divergent AUs for aideku or even polyamorous.

Teaser:

The joys of high school were never ending. No, wait– high school is never ending. That’s the one. 

Coming back from Christmas break felt a little bit like getting a tooth pulled, Jasper debated not going at all that first day back, but then he reminded himself that he wasn’t a deserter. 

He was standing around Edward’s Volvo with the rest of his siblings, waiting until the last moment to throw themselves into the pool of marinating scents, body odor, and hormones, when something changed. 

They all heard the roar of a motor when it was still a few miles out, but Jasper had expected it was some sort of machinery, he certainly didn’t expect the boy who pulled into the student parking lot. 

Teaser:

In hindsight, Harry probably should’ve expected that it was going to go to shit but sue him for wanting to stay delusional.
