thinking about witch of the wilds reader, about whom so little is known the story changes depending on which villager tells it.
hunters say she embodies everything beautiful about nature, forgetting its fickle, volatile, dangerous side.
travelers say she disappears into the shadows of the trees, running naked except for the flowering thorns woven through her hair.
the young men say whoever catches her can have her a night, but she's as fast as a minnow and wily as a rabbit.
the old women say men venture into the forest to find her and they don't return.
storytellers say you'll never find her unless you're not seeking her--that she must be a nymph or a dryad, a daughter of Baba Yaga by a forest god.
children say she hinders fools and helps only those pure of heart--pure like children understand it, because pure does not mean well-intentioned. it only means free of distraction and distortion; obsessive; all-consumed.
venture out to find her and you might find that the gap between beautiful wild maid and dangerous sorcerous trickster is vanishingly small.
these stories are all blown a bit out of proportion, but who are you to deny the legends that give you such a steady stream of human travelers to toy with?

I've had this Dreaming The Proposal AU sitting in my drafts for a while. Then @voukkake comes out with this art and I figured it was time to brush off the dust and share what I'd written lol. This is seriously all I'm going to write so if anyone is interested I'm begging you to pick this up. I'm dying to read Dream awkwardly interacting with Hob's family (also @valiantstarlights suggestion that Betty White is Destiny?? ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT). Anyway...
------------------
Dream is about to be deported because his visa application has been denied. He is in the middle of a meeting with his lawyers when Hob, his secretary, pops in the room to inform Dream of a very important phone call and Dream comes up with the insane plan to marry Hob to keep his immigration status.
He gestures for Hob to come over and Hob, clueless, wanders into the room and stands next to Dream, who takes him by the arm and tugs him just a little bit further to stand awkwardly close.
Dream announces their engagement and Hob stands there, shell shocked and feels his mouth moving against his will. That yeah, they are getting married. They are in love, sure. It isn’t until they leave the office, following Dream back to his, that Hob’s brain seems to come back online.
“What just happened in there?”
Dream grouses, head down, already back to his work as if nothing happened. Like he didn’t just use Hob as a pawn in his scheme to get around his denied visa application.
“They were going to make Morningstar editor-in-chief.” Is all Dream says, disdain dripping from every word. He still hasn’t looked up.
Hob stands there, still as a statue. His head is swimming with words, with emotions. Anger, disbelief, betrayal… and a small tiny flicker of undeniable interest that he hastily stomps out.
He manages to put the pieces together rather quickly though, while Dream continues sifting through paperwork.
“This is illegal,” Hob manages to croak out, brows furrowing.
“Oh, please. The government looks for terrorists, not book publishers.” Dream’s head is still down in his paperwork.
Hob blinks, taking a step up to Dream’s desk. “I'm not marrying you.”
“Sure you are.” Dream sets aside a stack of papers and finally gives Hob his attention. “Because if you don't, your dreams of ‘touching millions of lives with the written word’ are dead.”
Hob’s jaw drops. That was a line, corny as it was, that he’d used in the panel interview for this job. Three years ago.
----------------------
“Were you not in that room? I could get fined, I’ll go to jail over this. If you want me on this deal, you will promote me to editor.”
Without even glancing up from his phone, Dream scoffs.
“Absolutely not.”
“Well then I guess you’re screwed. Buh-bye.” Hob turns with a flourish and has to bite back a grin at how Dream splutters behind him and grabs him by the arm.
“Fine– fine! Editor.” His face seems to go through the five stages of grief. He drops his hold on Hob.
“And You’ll publish my manuscript.” Hob throws in. In for a penny.
Dream’s brows narrow and he shakes as if he’s physically controlling the urge to stamp his foot.
“Sure. I’ll publish your hack manuscript.”
“Good.” Hob slips his hands in his pants pockets, staring at Dream, deciding on one last nail in the coffin.
“Now do it properly.”
Dream cocks an eyebrow. “Do what properly?”
“Propose. Like you mean it.”
Dream’s entire body seizes up, but he manages not to let it show, distracting himself by slipping his phone in the pocket of his expensive slacks and clasping his hands in front of him.
“Will you marry me?”
“No.” Hob, the arrogant bastard, is visibly biting back a smirk. “Say it like you mean it.”
Dream takes a long, steadying breath through his nose.
“Hob Gadling. Will you–”
“And get on your knees.”
Dream absolutely refuses to decipher the thrill that shoots through his body at Hob’s command. Instead he keeps his mask of irritation and indifference on as he scans the crowd around them. They are still outside the courthouse, and the concrete sidewalk is going to potentially tear Dream’s Hugo Boss black wool pants.
So he carefully lowers himself, scowling as the smirk on Hob’s face only widens as Dream slowly settles onto the ground.
Once he’s as comfortable as Dream’s going to get, he clears his throat.
“Hob Gadling,” he glares at his subordinate from under his lashes. “Will you fucking marry me?”
Hob curls his lips in mock consideration, looking up past Dream’s head. He rocks back on his heels and nods with a forlorn sigh.
“Okay.” He still hasn’t met Dream’s gaze. “Could've done without the sarcasm but it will do. See you at the airport tomorrow.”
And turns and walks away, leaving Dream to fend for himself on the ground.
#dreamling#hob x dream#the sandman#my writing#i guess this is my niche now?#transcribing romcoms into dreamling fodder lol#i cant stop thinking about that *chefs kiss* perfect line on the airplane#when Dream asks Hob what he's allergic to. as a test.#and Hob confidently responds with 'tree nuts. and the whole spectrum of human emotion.'#or Dream cornering Hob at his family's home and getting in his face at how irritated he is by the taunting and teasing and that#Hob needs to step it up#and Hob. sly as ever. throws back: 'oh. thats no problem for me. i can be the doting. sweet. smitten fiance. but it's /you/...#... that needs to be convincing.'#and then he idk offers them to practice kissing in private and Dream is so mortified by the prospect but also.#.. definitely a little (a lot) interested#okay im done lol#the proposal au

Once again I read fanfiction that seems to have been precisely written to deal psychic damage to me.
#this is about viridian the green guide. you guys actually read this slop?#boring as shit writing#awful plot lines (trigger has been resolved get new material#excessive use of italics and ‘problem child’. has the author heard anyone use a nickname irl ever#I hate bakugou slightly less than I hate Deku but even I could tell they suck at writing him#skipped over a few chapters because the writing was melting my brain but he would never be that condescending to himself#who the hell thinks ‘I’ve decided to not be an asshole’ with total seriousness#back to the bad plot lines. endeavor *checks notes* becomes a nomu and dies? I know the author nerfed everyone in the ground to match Deku#but wtf was the idea here#most successful cases in Japan and the strongest fire quirk ever (besides Dabi) and he gets treated like fodder?#there’s a certain childish canadence fanfiction writers type in when discussing ideas with others and the whole fic reeks of it.#the general easy going and generic aura vtgg emanates makes it even more insufferable#yeah insufferable is definitely the one word to describe this fic#original fic is ass and it only popularized the concepts. now you have even more bad writers speedrunning terrible concepts#it’s two am so this might not makes sense but whatever. not tagging this as mha because there are a lot of people who like this thing.#also fuck fics with love interests who were pretty happy in canon but actually have two thousand problems in fics#rant#anyways! I need to check into my games#I need to find the fic summarized so I can properly write my fanfic bashing vigilante/quirkless aus. barely any difference anyways.

Arty whenever Glas jokes it would flirt with or be interested in a man: tired expression
#it won't admit it's only into women and nbs because that is giving Glas too much fodder and information#but it sure will look done every time they say something like that#if Arty was a modern AU human. it'd definitely have something lesbian flag colored.#not even for pride reasons so much as to shut down any implications of heterosexuality immediately#Begone With That

torn between idea 1)
that one scene in Six where Barry sloane’s character has to give a sperm sample so he’s put in a room with a cup and some magazines, but in this au it’s Price instead and he has to provide some for a medical check up and he makes his little intern do the work for him 😔 makes you wrap your hand around him and jack him off. just breathes heavy through his nose and stares down at you while grunting through his orgasm.
2) totally reconstructed family au for Ghost. His parents pass away and leave him to take care of a much younger brother. he’s still working class so he’s constantly working to support his younger brother (almost like he’s his kid) and doesn’t really have much of a social life because of it. His communication skills actually fucking suck. Meets you accidentally somehow and for some reason it really turns him on to see how nice you are to his little brother. Maybe he got lost when they were out grocery shopping or something and you were nice enough to help him find his older brother.
but simon’s brain kinda rewires itself watching you take care of his little brother and calm him down. goes a bit nonverbal and caveman-like when he sees it or thinks about it. He’s cut so many people from his life after seeing them get awkward when they find out his life essentially revolves around taking care of his brother (which he is fine with, no complaints at all), that seeing someone do the opposite and admire him for it or lift some of the weight off his shoulders for a second has the complete opposite effect. Definitely considers just taking you and locking you up in his house when he first sees it. His little brother’s never had a mom after all. It’d be good for him.
not torn as in im gonna write them, just as daydream fodder for later

Very Quick AU, I've used before and will use again:
Soul Marks that move around and can, with a trusted friend, transfer between people! Maybe for cultivators, when you get to a high enough level of cultivation your soul mark can separate from your body for periods of time!
Shen Qingqiu's soulmark is a miniature sized crane about the size of a cat or so, that mostly stays hidden underneath his robes. Occasionally it will peak out of his collars and glare. When Yue Qingyuan would reach for his hand, it would snap at his fingers! (Post transmigration, all that is left of the crane are some feathers. Shen Yuan thinks sqq has some weirdly symbolic tattoos for a hot minute)
Luo Binghe's soul mark is a cacoon that looks like a tightly closed lotus blossom. It's located over his heart. In PIDW it hatched in the Abyss into, like, a black demon butterfly or something, that he showed off to girls to woo them. In SVSSS sqq accidentally stabs the cacoon and it doesn't hatch.
Liu Qingge's is a hummingbird: quick, pretty and aggressive. It flies over his knuckles, his collarbone, often hovers at his cheek and temple to look around. It's always been daring, and often as a disciple Liu Qingge would have to chase down the shixiongs he'd defeated that day to find it because it would flit over to them through his blows in its enthusiasm. It's a bit more restrained as a Peak Lord's soul mark (or perhaps he touches less people as a Peak Lord) but as his cultivation grew it did develop a nasty habit of landing on the monsters or demons he is fighting to drop a devastating spiritual blast upon it before returning to Liu Qingge.
I would say that this is PRIME fodder for the five years bingliu where Liu Qingge's hummingbird keeps trying to attack Luo Binghe and getting stranded on the demon lord when Liu Qingge is defeated. It would be so pissy about it too, always zipping all over Luo Binghe's body, especially his face and eyes to annoy him. Enough so that Luo Binghe would try and rip off his own skin to remove it (it's too fast, and binghe isn't willing to take a dip in an acid lake to remove it. Again.)
It would eventually find binghe's torn cacoon and start bothering it, eventually nesting in it. In thr process, it would help complete the cut Shen Qingqiu started, which scarred badly, and tear it all the way open, freeing the trapped butterfly within.
It would be cute! But it won't happen at all because while Liu Qingge was clearing Shen Qingqiu's meridians, his humming bird became very comfortable living on Shen Qingqiu's skin instead. Because it could leave skin for short bursts, Liu Qingge often left it with Shen Qingqiu deliberately so it could either return to him as an SOS message or try and defend Shen Qingqiu with a qi blast.
So! When Binghe and Shen Qingqiu reunite, it definitely tried to attack Luo Binghe, but Shen Qingqiu talked it down. It stayed with Shen Qingqiu instead of fleeing to call Liu Qingge because it was worried. Smash cut to Shen Qingqiu's self demolition with Liu Qingge's hummingbird still on his skin. :)

I’m sure someone has done this already, but AU idea where Jaster Mereel is somehow alive and after years of recovery, tracks down Jango to Kamino a few years before the canon events of “Attack of the Clones.”
After a strained and emotion reunion, and introduction to Boba, Jaster is like, “Amazing. I love him. When are you going to introduce me to the rest of my bu’ade?”
Jango, blinking, confused, “The… rest?”
“Of course, the rest! I saw some of them on the way here.”
“Oh, uh, no, Buir, they’re not—”
Now, Jaster definitely knows there’s something up, no one would just commission millions of clones for no reason. But he wants to hear it from Jango first before he makes a decision. Which is the fairly obvious: “Well, I’m going to ignore the whole ‘canon fodder’ bit. We will talk about that later, though. Get you to a proper therapist. Now! It’s only midday, I’ve got a lot of ade to meet.”
So basically, Jaster strong-arms his way through Kamino by essentially adopting the clones as his grandchildren (yes, all of them, he has plenty of love).
Meeting the Alphas is a little awkward because they’re all teenagers on the cusp of adulthood and have never so much as seen a shred of genuine care and kindness from Jango, so they’re a little put off. But Jaster is willing to put in the work to gain their trust, as minimal as it might ever be.
The command class are a bit put off, but I think the first to warm up would be Wolffe and Bly because they’re more emotionally intelligent and can tell Jaster means them no harm. Cody takes the longest (besides the Alphas) to start trusting Jaster because of his strained relationship with Jango, which Jaster eventually learns about and has some words with his son.
Jaster continues through to the younger clones, as much as he can realistically meet because there are so many of them.
The tubies and littler cadets almost immediately have Jaster wrapped around their little fingers. He absolutely adores them and maybe cries a little while holding a couple of sleeping tubies.
Boba is still young enough that his viewpoint of the other clones can be changed into a more accepting attitude, but he still harbors possessiveness over Jango.
Jango himself is experiencing all sorts of emotional whiplash because he never wanted to think of the clones beyond what they were made for. But now Jaster is there as if from the dead, treating them as if they are just regular children, and it’s just a lot for Jango to process.
And idk, there’s a lot of fluff, a lot of angst, a lot of stopping the plot before the plot can happen because Jaster will be damned before he lets any of his grandkids fight in a war that isn’t theirs. Whether they were made for it or not.
#chili rambles#the clone wars#jaster mereel#jango fett#Jaster lives au#this might cook in my brain for a bit

Was talking about this with a few friends the other day: A HUGE missed opportunity for Apology Tour was having Stolas talk to the partygoers and come to a realization of how good he has it compared to most. Like the demons at the party could mention the racism, being unable to afford necessities, etc. This could help Stolas learn how hard Blitzo, and all of these people, have had it. And if Stolas DOES go to court in a future episode, he could give a massive "The Reason You Suck" speech towards the Sins and Goetia for allowing such a terrible system to continue. Granted this wouldn't redeem Stolas but it would definitely make him come off as less of a prick.
However, if they had a court scene it's gonna play out like it did in Heaven where the Goetia's gaslight the fuck out of everyone and after that Stolas ain't gonna get character development.
But the typical ignorant behavior Stolas has is similar to that of VivziePop. She complains about being poor despite being well off, she makes problems that only the low class has her problem.
Stolas at this rate is blatant VivziePop fodder for her to write as her mouthpiece. There will be no happy ending for Blitzo as he would be forced to be the tragic scapegoat and constant torture victim.
In a way, Blitz's personal hell is being with Stolas, and I fear for the man. Ignorance and Arrogance is what Stolas is, and no matter of what he does is going to redeem him.
In a way, he is fulfilling that Villain role he was supposed to, albeit depicted as a soft afton au character rather than a character we're supposed to feel bad for.
We need to stop it with the character torture porn episodes because it does no help other than making us feel bad for the actual victim rather than the abusive high class we are perceived to see as the victim.
Stolas and Blitzo were also apparently childhood friends, which is a major conflict.

"I've heard the myths but didn't want to believe they were true. This really is THE BOOK OF BILL." "...his book has one purpose: to conjure Cipher's voice into its pages. To communicate with the Triangle...even after his death."
I have...questions...as to Ford's reported timeline here and how it relates to the events of Weirdmaggedon and Bill's eventual incarceration/forced institutionalization in the Theraprism.
We know the Theraprism exists outside of time. But if we're thinking in a linear manner from Ford's point of view, it gets a little wild. Here's Ford, who hears all these "myths" about Bill's book and how Bill would try to communicate after death. But Ford has learned about the "mythology" before Bill's death and the book wasn't written until (from Ford's point of view) after Weirdmaggedon so how could he have heard myths about it in the two-week time span between the Weirdmaggedon and the kids going back to California?
Because the word "myths" implies old stories, not some intergalactic rumor mill of two weeks ago. But the book can't be old, again, from Ford's point of view, because the events that preceded it weren't all that long ago.
I doubt Ford is using the wrong term here. He's a stickler for precise language, even if he sometimes uses that precision as a veil to obfuscate the truth and bend the narrative to his favor.
This leaves us with some interesting possibilities.
At some point, Bill told Ford about his backup plan in case things went awry and Ford's just covering for himself. I'd give this maybe a 20% chance of being true, not because I don't believe Ford is incapable of manipulating his own self-narrative at this point (he definitely is and I honestly think half the intention of his "warnings" to the reader are aimed at himself as a kind of confessional). But I don't think Bill would have given away that info to Ford, if he even entertained the idea at all that he could be "killed" in this manner.
The Oracle brought this up to Ford during his time in Dimension 52 as a warning. I give this 50/50 odds, as she used to be a Henchmaniac and is...well, an Oracle. Seeing the future, or some murky version thereof, is kind of her thing.
Timey-wimey shenanigans. I find this to be the most intriguing. As stated above, the Theraprism exists outside of time, so I guess it's possible for Bill to have created the book in past, present, and future and for its legend to have eventually made its way to Ford. Does this mean what happens in the Theraprism can affect the past, present, and future of the realities its residents (tried to) shape? If Bill succeeds in therapy, how will that change Ford's timeline, both past, present, and future? At what point in time will Bill reincarnate and in which reality? Or was this a one-off of Bill being able to shunt his book through some kind of reality portal? Or, or - if Bill escapes - not outside the realm of possibility - when exactly would he escape to? Can he create another offshoot dimension where he repeats his go at Weirdmaggedon, but learns from his mistakes? Can he do the same with Euclydia? Are there other Bills or is he it?
Anyway, there's some great fodder for AU fic ideas here (time loop fans, this one's for you), but that line's been bothering me for a few weeks now and felt the impulse to talk about it.
#hello there#bill cipher#stanford pines#theraprism#also yeah ford's little interludes in the book are far more about him than the reader#one almost gets the sense that he's trying to convince himself rather than some random unknown person in the multiverse#probably both#ANYWAY#ARGH THIS BOOK

i love your streamer AU so much and your artstyle i am IN LOVE
i feel like crowley would definitely be that kind of streamer that just keeps the stream on for like 9 hours while he goes on a rant about space and plants or whatever and he’d completely lose track of time.
also their viewers absolutely going feral at the little peices of lore dropped inntheir streams like Aziraphale casually mentioning an anniversary and the chat just goes haywire
I LOVE THIS AU SO MUCH i really hope you write a fuc or make a comic(at your convenience of course) its too good
thank you love!! i would be equally happy to write something myself or read someone else’s! the more the better! every headcanon i collect is fodder and inspiration for a potential fic ✨
skskdkdh crowley’s schedule would be a NIGHTMARE. no consistency. all tangent.
i also like the idea that they’re both a little chattier about each other when they’re tipsy. crowley rarely mentions his personal life unless he’s doing a drinking stream (whether it’s Take A Shot reacting to youtube videos, or enjoying a crisp white while opening P.O. box mail) and then everything is Angel This, Angel That

if you're still accepting hellcheer aus: high fantasy assassin Chrissy/Bard Eddie? I have thoughts but I'd *love* to hear yours.
hi yes I am! oh gosh let me think:
Eddie's a bit notorious around the town square. He's friends with everyone, he knows everyone, and he's not afraid to use that knowledge to his advantage (and to line his pockets). While generally charming and well-liked, everyone knows Eddie has all of the blackmail fodder he could ever need. So when a new maid starts working at Lord Brenner's castle, Eddie takes note.
She's beautiful, of course. And when someone slips her name in his ear, Eddie immediately knows it's fake (call it a Bard's intuition.) So he decides to keep tabs on her. For his own benefit, of course.
Whenever she goes to the market for food and things for the household, Eddie strikes up a conversation. It's definitely flirting right off the bat, but it goes from feigned to real real fuckin quick. He learns her name is Ella Ballard (fake) and that her family sent her in from the countryside for extra money (lie) because her mother is sick (actually seems true, but the way she spits it like a curse, Eddie knows she's discussing two different types of sick.)
Anyway his intuition has him on alert one day after a late visit to the market, when stalls are nearly closed, and he watches her steal a dagger from a blacksmith. He follows her back to the castle, stealthily sneaking in behind her. Watching from the shadows as she waits for Brenner to retire to bed.
Eddie stops her before she can commit this one act (because he knows she'll get caught), and that's when the truth spills out: her name is actually Chrissy Cunningham, she was of a noble family and became an assassin when her father's true dealings came to light, and Lord Brenner is keeping mages locked in his dungeon for experimentation. While it isn't his place, Eddie is drawn to help her in her quest for vengeance and freedom of the mages.
send me an AU idea and I'll make up five facts about it!
#hellcheer#eddissy#eddie x chrissy#stranger things#eddie munson#chrissy cunningham#ask#ebongawk ask#darcylightninglewis#thank you this was such a fun idea to explore in my head!#high fantasy au

third war continued/Sakura sent to war prematurely fic recs
Okay, I'll be completely honest, this is one of my ultimate favourite tropes when it comes to Sakura-centric fanfiction! Unfortunately, there really isn't too many of these out there and most are not completed, so if you know of any more then please send them my way. I'm begging.
Started: 2024.07.23
Last Updated: 2024.07.23
note: feel free to check out my master list which has a bunch of Sakura Haruno fic recs (all organized)!
----
Your Move, Instigator (draw your weapon and hold your tongue) - Laysan_albatross || ao3|| third war extended AU || complete
“We are still under wartime policy,” the recruiter had told her parents. He had an envelope in his hand. He sounded sorry. “She has two parents who are successful ninjas. We would be remiss to overlook her potential based upon that alone.” The Third Shinobi War never ended. Konoha needs more soldiers, grabbing anyone who can fight, especially those who can't say no.
You guys, I love this one to death. It's definitely a darker take on the Naruto universe, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The civilian born shinobi are deemed as more expendable and thus thrown into war while the clan born remain sheltered. I found it quite interesting that the Uchiha were also lobbed into this group, but it was more done as punishment instead. Very raw and properly gets across the devastation that this brings.
.
still waters by Vulpecula_et_Anser || ao3 || gen || M || Sakura sent to war early AU || one-shot complete
Sakura is twelve when she queues up in front a desk with a bunch of other equally-terrified looking shinobi. The ages range from younger than her to old enough to be her grandpa. The man sitting at the desk is stony-faced as he doles out assignments. Sakura obediently shuffles forward when it is her turn, and recites her shinobi identification number in a shaky voice when asked. When the provost marshal looks at her, looks down at his paper, looks back at her, and grimaces, Sakura knows it’s not going to be good. OR How Sakura survives the war, told in bits and pieces.
Canon-fodder! Sakura makes her shinobi debut on the front lines, forcing her to get creative in her means to survive. It's gritty, raw, and the clever use of seals is great! In most of the other works of this type, Sakura is placed on a team of sorts or has some "support" (kinda), but here she is all alone. She is forced to fight for her life, to keep going despite how she feels because ultimately, Sakura does not want to die. She does meet some people later on though and it was great to see. Y'all know this type of story is my personal guilty pleasure (also one of the best I've read thus far)...
.
Find Your Place (whatever it takes) - Dovey || ao3 || third war extended AU || incomplete
The war lasts longer than in canon, and has only just ended. While most of the 'Konoha 12' are clan heirs and thus protected from having to go to war prematurely, Sakura is from a civilian family, with naturally advanced chakra control, and thus is thrown immediately onto the frontlines. Now she's on a genin team in peacetime, and she's struggling to figure out how to live when she's not constantly at risk of dying. Team seven bonds in new weird ways, The Uchiha are actually all dead except for Sasuke (including war-hero itachi) who's got a chip on his shoulder the size of Konoha, Naruto isn't the kyuubi container and he finds Sakura kinda scary. Sakura would just like to have a hobby.
Find Your Place (whatever it takes) is the og fic of this category as far as I am aware. The main difference to consider is that it primarily focuses on the aftereffects of the war and the impact that it had on Sakura as a person.
.
team. - waterpllar || ao3 || gen || third war extended AU || complete
She’s under Neji's command, which apparently means she’s under the Hyuuga’s command. The Hyuuga’s role is on the frontlines, but Neji must be special for a kid from the branch family, because they mostly send him and Sakura out after the big battles are done, to pick off the wounded, and burn bodies. Sakura kind of wishes she had someone to keep her from the big fights, too. Her job is with Neji, taking back kekkei genkai and retrieving important people’s bodies, but she has other assignments, too. She’s given a dull kunai and told to go through the battlefield, dodging blows and jutsus from friend and foe, slashing at whatever isn’t wearing a Konoha headband.(the third shinobi war doesn't end, dragging on for years. konoha is running out of troops, and unimportant children in the academy with even a modicum of talent are snatched up to the warfront. sakura, unfortunately, is one of them. so is neji.)
Such a strong beginning, although, I gotta say that the ending was rather disappointing imo. There was so much potential, but the author admitted to not wanting to continue the story so it was cut short. Hopefully more works of this nature will come to light!
.
Induction - Anonymous || ao3 || M || gen || third war extended AU || incomplete
in·duc·tion /inˈdəkSH(ə)n/ noun: induction 1. the action or process of inducting someone to a position or organization. enlistment into military service. or; The Third War does not end soon enough. Children pay the price.
Definitely not my favorite take on this trope, but it fits the bill, so it's here! Anyway, tbh I never actually made it far enough reading to get to the actual war part, so I don't have too much to say.
.
Ground Zero - TheIzzatron || ao3 || gen || T || third war extended AU || incomplete
Desperate times call for desperate measures. If this means forcing weapons into the hands of children, then so be it.
AHHHHH I'm praying for the day we get another chapter of Ground Zero!! I really appreciate how we actually get a training arc where we get a base of the characters and how this system works before they properly get dispatched. The characters and their emotions are so well done that you truly feel how unfair the situation is. They aren't heartless, they are children. Highly recommend.

Control - Dragonist || ao3 || gen || no rating || Sakura sent to war early AU || incomplete
Kumo kidnaps a child of Konoha. Sakura graduates from the academy only a year after starting it. There's a war going on, and she's obedient enough to stay quiet and follow orders. Then the war ends, and it's unclear who is really giving them. (a mystery from a child's perspective)
I haven't read Control yet, but I really need to get around to it!
Ok I just noticed I forgot to add the link to this one, but that has been fixed!!
Edit: bruh, I’m so mad I didn’t get around to reading this sooner because it seems the author deleted it 😭 if any of you have a link/download, please send (I’m begging)
---
Please send me more like these!!!!

So, for your Into the Reverse AU, have you considered making essentially nameless ocs who use the other miraculous or having some of the adult characters use the other miraculous. I just think it would be interesting to see, and it would make some sense for The Supreme to have agents that aren't, you know, all teenagers. It could also show the hierarchy of The Supreme's organization better and show that Marinette, Adrien, Kagami, Luka, Felix, and Chloe aren't super high up in it, which is why they're essentially used as fodder. Since Tomoe, Audrey, Andre, and maybe Felix's parents are a part of the inner circle, they could also have miraculous to show their ranking, power, and how they could be in charge of certain branches or operations in The Supreme's organization.
Yeah, almost all of the miraculouses are owned by adults, and I'm considering giving some of them to the parents but I'm not sure yet. I know Tomoe will definitely have one. A lot of the "nameless background miraculous users" would be people using the miraculouses from other boxes, but I would want all of the miraculouses from the main box to be used by established characters. Two of the miraculous are in an interesting situation tho
Like I alluded to in Alix's post (https://www.tumblr.com/revolutionary-thoy/732523573334458368/re-verse-nathaniel-marc-and-alix-the-three-of?source=share), her dad tried to steal the rabbit miraculous and went missing shortly after. He hid the rabbit miraculous somewhere and neither the Supreme, nor the Resistence know where it is. He left clues for Alix to find it
The peacock is a whole mess. I'm going to make a post in the future detailing my reasoning for this, but it's not damaged in this AU and Emilie died under different circumstances. I'm currently unsure who's hands it should be in. Because if the Supreme had it, nothing is stopping him from snapping Adrien out of existence, but if Gabriel had it, there's no reason for him to not use it. It might actually still be with Felix's parents? I'm still debating on what I should do with that

Hello! I definitely sent you an ask about your role swap AU of COTL, The Prophet of Omens? If you haven't seen it yet, or it's been eaten, I'd like to ask, what inspired the design if God Lamb here? Is there a final battle between Lamb and Narinder, how does the final fight go, and why did it happen? Will there be a Mercy or Kill option in it?
Amazing artstyle, have a wonderful month. Eat your fruits.
Sorry I have not seen your previous asks since my Tumblr tends be act weird which I'm currently trying to fix. And to answer two of your questions–
One; It was derived by it's obvious abrahamic omen where a two-faced lamb meant the omen of evil, death or impending doom. Partially inspired by the Cheshire cat and the Vessel from Hollow Knight.
Two; Like in the game. It is impossible for it to never happen despite they've built deep emotional connection or in Narinder's concerned perspective— an emotionally, intricate symbiotic relationship his god tied its hands to be. The cat couldn't offered the lamb's gospel about "Being the fodder of the slaughterer, risen together to reclaim what is taken," when he knows that God treats him like the ones who chained him.
and The [|||||||] is spared.
(For anyone wondering about my absence in the COTL fandom. I neverz never ever would've expected that Smiling Critters would be my strongest fixation so far. I'll draw COTL when I got the feeling)
