Halloween AU: The Strange Girls

Some girls are mean, some girls are nice, and others go both ways.

The Serpent’s Knowledge (Part 1): Fi's search is locked on Riley when she conjured her doppelgänger. Chaos ensures and Farkle emails Fi, she gladly takes the distraction when college overwhelms her. Technomagick can't solve Fi's problems, neither can Riley's insecurities. What has he overlooked? How can Clu be of help? Sometimes softness is stronger than darkness. Even the serpent needs a friend. [Read More on FFN & Ao3]

Lilith Released (Part 2): Maya summoned Lilith but Lucas can't contain Maya, let alone a demon, and asks Annie for help. Annie has her own problems: an unexpected pregnancy during her tour. Her spirit panther becomes real, growing more protective of her. Music can't help Annie here and Maya must use her intelligence to banish Lilith. Who will survive when their worlds crossover? [Read More on FFN & Ao3]

I was inspired to do a gif set because of @ladyxboheme. Thanks to @soweirdondisney , @soweird-gifs , @fi-phillips , and @thats-so-weird for occasionally talking to me about what we thought of the show and characters.

[iridescentis]

I know it's hard to believe that Jack and Eric would go 15 years without talking and it would be lovely to imagine them getting together during their college years while the show is still running but honestly

I love the idea of them finding each other 15 years later - adults with fully developed lives, dealing with big issues they both buried for years, dealing with the fact that it's so easy for them to just slot back into place after all that time, because it feels raw and real in contrast with a lot of the idealism of the show

Having such a strong relationship be torn apart then built back up as adults is such a real experience, and I think they both deserve something that takes work and isn't easy, because both of them have been handed a lot, and it would be a really interesting to explore that alongside the canon timeline

[redeemed-wren]

In my own, probably delusional, world, Eric Matthews is in fact a pretty smart and on the whole emotionally mature guy who is sometimes just a bit clueless and neurodivergant. HOWEVER due to a lifetime of being told he's stupid by every single person in his life except Feeny, he has greatly internalised this and has pretty low self esteem. His relationship with dating doesn't help matters, or is maybe a symptom that feeds into it in a loop.

I headcanon that he has a complex relationship with food during highschool years (that one episode where Jason has him listen to a VERY 90s-00s Food Bad tape, a comment from the actor saying he was really skinny in the early seasons, and the episode in season 7when he's binge eating and goes on a diet with topenga.)

He mostly grows out of it by the end of his gap year and starting college (moving in with Jack probably helps, I feel like he's a good cook and would force Eric and Shawn to eat), but then more and more subscribes to the mindset of 'it's easier to not try so no one expects anything from me'. This translates into being more and more 'stupid' and the more he acts that way the more people call him that the more he starts to believe it.

The only thing he does put effort into his relationships with his siblings and friends--he cares too much about people to let his relationships and the feelings of those around him at risk. Which also means everytime he sees a kid who needs more support he will do anything in his power to help.

Basically I love Eric and he deserves better and he's a smart lad who can do so much and he should be a weather reporter and father.

GMW AU where Maya is the foster kid of the Matthews and Shawn and Angela are still together/visit them and as the show goes on their bond strengthens but in s2 the finale can be a two parter and Maya has to leave the Matthews and obviously she doesn’t want to leave Riley and attend the same high school as her friends so Shawn and Angela decide to adopt her because of the genuine connection they made and maybe a little twist can be thrown in like “oh maya already has a new family ready to take care of her” unaware that the new family are Shawn and Angela until they reveal it themselves. Thank you and goodnight <3

What are your thoughts on rodrick falling for a songer!reader whose music is like Sabrina Carpenter? Her pop vibe and his rocker vibe would be 😍😍😍

guys one thing you gotta know about me is that i LOVE sabrina carpenter. like im about to sell my soul or something just so i can finally go to one of her shows

omg i remember when i was like 9-10 i was visiting my dad and his gf for the summer, and gmw was one of my favorite show (i had a crush on all the mcs💀). then a couple years later i was with my dad and step mom (different woman) and my step sister was watching a disney show, which prompted my dad to be like “omg i remember when you were obsessed with gmw and [gf] kept saying that she thought you were bi bc you kept talking about how pretty that sabrina girl was. its ok if you’re bi, we don’t care, but you were also like 10 so i think she was projecting or something”

i lied and said i wasn’t bc you never know who your ops are🤫

BUT ANYWAYS PFFFT pop!reader and rocker!rodrick would be so cute. like imagine this is a famous/singer au where rodrick’s band is actually really popular and you’re basically sabrina carpenter AHHHH

everyone would probably think it’s such a strange pairing, but you guys work so well together. you guys were probably the opener for the other’s shows and just hit it off

if you do nonsense outros like sabrina, he LOVES them. despite the whole rocker persona, whenever you make a reference to him or his dick he’s blushing and giggling

FICS I WANT TO MAKE A LOT OF PROGRESS ON/FINISH IN 2023

MacRiley Celeb AU

MacGyver/MacRiley s5 rewrite

Bellarke HS AU

GMW/Lucaya s3 rewrite

Skyeward Inhumans AU fic

Clintasha MCU AU

Bridgerton/Kathony Celeb AU

Doctor Who/DoctorxRose canon divergence

Miraculous/Adrinette canon divergence

We’ll see how this goes.

A few of these are close to being done, just need to cross that finish line and then make sure they’re exactly how I want and come up with titles before posting. Other ones have quite a ways to go.

Maybe I should find a cheerleader/motivator to check on me periodically to see how I’m doing. Not everyday, that’s a bit excessive, but every so often just check in and see if I’ve made progress on any of these fics. Not sure, though.

Hopefully I’ll make some good progress on longer/multi-chaptered fics this year.

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

i think the only fic i have with an angsty ending is "i love you much (most beautiful darling)" because it's canon jily until their death. for some reason i wanted to do that when i was 18 idk

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

probably barry, bond, and the blues or a slip of the thumb, just because they were pretty much all fluff beginning to end

8. Do you get hate on fics?

no i don't think i ever have. i genuinely don't think people care enough to lmao

9. Do you write smut. If so, what kind?

i have but only like a scene or so, and it's all fairly mild except for maybe one or two explicit words lol. i have other stuff in the works but haven't touched it in ages

ugh. my people we meet on vacation au "let's fall apart and start again" that i literally only have the prologue posted for. one of these days u guys......

ummm i think dialogue! at least that's usually what i start with and then try to build around.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

isa said finishing things and that is so true. i also would say inner monologues

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

omg it scares me to death i have too much anxiety about getting it completely wrong

19. First Fandom you wrote for?

well technically harry potter if u count my 7 yo fanfiction, but officially it would be gmw/lucaya

20. Favorite fic you've ever written?

in terms of jily, i do really like "let's fall apart and start again" and "stage fright", but is it crazy if i say im actually still proud of my 17yo self writing like 50k of two disney characters jsdfkj a

[ambitionsource]

hi!! so it's taken me too long to actually send this and gather all my ambition thoughts together but the s4 finale was so insanely good!! like it was so compelling and I was grinning and gasping at my phone like I was actually watching an acted out episode 😭😭 the rl breakup was so sad but also I could feel it coming so it made it more satisfying somehow to actually see it happen after the build up and all I'm saying is 5 years is a long time who knows where they're at in s5 👀 zay and charlie my beloveds I'm so proud of them. maya I'm v concerned for u but I'm also so interested to delve into how she got there. farkle my boy my king u know I love u and even though I want de la minkus to happen I'm so weirdly proud of his growth and ability to move forwards. I was thinking when I finished it about how ambition has been so special to me and how grateful I am for it like I remember going through a gmw resurgence and finding the blog lucasjamesfriar (and all ur other wonderful fics maggie!!) and seeing something like #gmw arts au and being so happy there was still gmw content and it's truly exceeded my expectations I'm so excited to see where s5 goes 🫶🏻🫶🏻

hello rae!!! please accept my delayed welcome to The Other Side!!

thank you so much for the kind words, firstly. 💌 work on this season was a beast, so it is always really lovely to hear from you all and hear that it moved you in whatever way! i especially want to highlight "was grinning and gasping at my phone like I was actually watching an acted out episode 😭😭" because given the series, and it's... unique structure lol, this is like the absolute best hope we could ask for when you're experiencing the show. we're all delusional, but at least we're delusional together!

and again, as i've said to others, thank you for yet another reassurance that all the plants we'd been seeding re: rl paid off and felt satisfactory. i was gnashing my teeth all season hoping it would all fall into place and make sense for y'all -- since it's hard for me to know given i have all the context of past present and future lol -- so every time you let us know... so appreciated. thank you (and i'm sorry. except i'm not, because the story must be told. but i'm sorry for all of your collective damages).

omg invoking my past self... it is so crazy to see how far we've ALL come on this journey, isn't it? for as much as time, and its passage, is a big theme in season 5, it weirdly enough parallels the creation of this whole project too. somehow, even to this day, new readers are discovering ambition, but we are also so so lucky to have people like you who have been here for a long haul and truly gone on this adventure with us. our gratitude cannot be expressed -- though always a good time to note if you have friends who you think would Get this story and enjoy the journey, please continue to spread the word!! this is a better time than any to jump in before we embark on the final stretch!

it's pretty fascinating to think about how it's been over five years since we first started this (march 2019), and here we all are. somehow. for whatever force that brings us all together. and it's like you all, interestingly enough, keep echoing...

five years is a long time...

-- Maggie

I just saw a video on instagram making a joke about the girl meets world love triangle and after reading the comments it made me think - they really tried to pass the blandest love interest off as the centre of a love triangle like that man is anything but Just Some Guy

they treat lucas like he's the purest christian boy that everyone wants, they tried to give him a dark past but it's disney so it was vague and unconvincing and he's really just some dude with mild opinions who is trying to be mature like hooray? im supposed to be excited?

honestly, the only ships i care about are rilaya and smarkle but a love triangle with farkle at the centre would've been more interesting hell make it a love square with smackle too why not

[rya-kingsleigh]

some things about me

1. HUGE RUCAS/LILEY SHIPPER - I will literally read every fanfiction, au, very bad fanfiction that exists just to have a sense of happiness! I also re-watch the series just for them -- BTW ambition on ao3 is such an amazing au for gmw/bmw **warning it will break ur heart 😭**

3. Avid reader and maladaptive daydreamer - I looooovvvvveeeee reading sm!!

4. Avid movie/show watcher. I love bmw, gmw, shadowhunters - the show- marvel, harry Potter, and ofc more!

5. I'm unlabeled rn but I don't feel straight but I also don't feel queer, gay, or bi. I just love soo fiercely no matter the gender, even though my preference is mostly men , I think....idk. I just can't imagine being with anyone it grosses me out severely but I just daydream and have extreme crushes and a sense of impending doom.......I'm OK lol

6. Currently obsessed with reality shifting, music ofc- always, and the ambition ao3 au fanfiction, olivia rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, Beyoncé, & NF

That's all for now....hopefully none of my family find this....🩷

Also my name is rya (ree yuh)

I came across your post about Shawn and Angela married and being the parents of Zay in GMW and can you please post more about that AU?

I made that post in a sleep-deprived daze, but you know what? Sure. Anything to avoid revising a college assignment right now. This won't be entirely thought out, but I gave a shot.

The Zay Hunter Alternate Universe

The central change is Shawn and Angela stayed together and got married, with Zay being their biological son.

As their child, I don't think Zay would be much different. He'd perhaps be a little more laid-back and have an interest in the arts (I can see him a slam poet) but still his regular self.

Season One

In Girl Meets Home for the Holidays the new A-Plot is Riley meeting Zay for the first time since they were infants. It could be about the expectation that since their friends are friends they should be friends, but the two don't have anything in common.

At the end of the alternate episode, Shawn and Angela announce that they are moving into the vacant apartment and Zay will be entering Riley's class in the near future.

Since this is a hypothetical alternate universe where I don't have to worry about cast availability and production costs, I would have Shawn, Angela, and Zay in Girl Meets Game Night. It can serve as a peek into how Shawn and Angela's relationship evolved and to establish Zay further. Lucas and Zay could reunite for the first time, but their tense air doesn't have to be addressed right away.

Side Note: I'd have it be the end of Josh and Maya's "romance" because honestly what were the producers thinking?

Girl Meets Master Plan wouldn't happen, but I wouldn't mind it being replaced by Topanga and Angela befriending Maya's mother instead as a sort of women's night out vibe.

In Girl Meets First Date, Zay is dragged into the chaperoning alongside Maya and Farkle but insists they dip. Farkle refuses, taking his job seriously, but Maya agrees. To fulfill my younger ZayMaya heart and have them have a budding romance, perhaps having parallels to the LucasRiley date.

Season Two

In Girl Meets Gravity, Zay officially joins the class and becomes a regular. Him and Lucas are tense and are a bit passive-aggressive, but he stays to himself while the rest of the episode goes on.

In Girl Meets the Secret of Life, the storyline remains the same with some minor alterations. The tension between Zay and Lucas snaps and they reveal they were friends in Texas but something happened between them with Zay alluding Lucas is more violent than they all initially thought scoffing at the idea he is a moral compass. It comes to the climax where it is revealed Zay got in trouble a lot for being a rebellious free-spirit underneath his wallflower disguise, and Lucas took it upon himself to get him out of trouble. Zay shares his insecurities that in a world where everyone seems to have a second half, he just wanted reassurance Lucas was his.

In Girl Meets Pluto, Zay and Angela join the digging party.

In Girl Meets the Tell-Tale-Tot, I'd have the reason Maya goes to the party is to get proper closure on her former crush while referencing the fact she might have a new one but she isn't sure yet.

Girl Meets Hurricane doesn't happen, instead I'd make it seem like Maya is pseudo-replacing her mother with Shawn and Angela due to their artistic endeavors and her potential crush on Zay.

In Girl Meets Yearbook, Zay doesn't change.

In Girl Meets Semi-Formal, Zay asks Maya to the dance before Lucas asks Riley to the dance to kind of rub in his hesitance.

In Girl Meets Cory and Topanga, the Hunter couple gives Riley reassurance that she doesn't have to do it like her parents as it was nearly the downfall of their own romance.

In Girl Meets Texas, Zay is upset that Maya likes Lucas but resigns that he missed his chance and will continue being their friend.

In Girl Meets the New Year, Zay makes a brief visit but refuses to join the party as he knows how the holiday works. Farkle starts to pick up on Zay's feelings for Maya.

Season Three

In Girl Meets Ski Lodge, Zay confesses his feelings for Maya but says he doesn't expect her to return them. Maya says she doesn't know if she has feelings for him but wants to give dating him a chance as she had fun with him all the way back in Girl Meets First Date. They continue dating in the background for the rest of the series similarly to Riley and Lucas.

Since the Shawn and Katy's relationship plotline doesn't happen, I'd turn them into Zay and Smackle centric episodes.

In Girl Meets World of Terror 3, Zay would be there alongside Texan Lucas and seem to be feeding into each other's more negative personalities never having the blow-out in Texas that resulted in a change to both of them. Though he would be on somewhat good terms with Riley given their parents friendship.

In Girl Meets Sweet Sixteen, Zay and Maya discuss their relationship and show a more realistic but still hopeful view of it.

In Girl Meets Goodbye, Shawn and Angela reflect on their friendship with Cory and Topanga and share while they will be sad they go they would understand and still be here in New York.

what fic premise are you working on that you think people aren't interested in?

A hockey au of gmw.
