Ok so a long while back I had a story with a trio of main characters who each represented a core aspect of the world they were trying to protect: the natural, the technological, and the magical (a human, a sentient AI, and a shapeshifter witch)

and then a few years later I made a sequel to it with a new trio and somehow by complete accident made them represent the same things as the first trio except this time combined with elements of another aspect (a human who finds out he's more magical than he expected (he's a demigod), a shapeshifter being who relies on tech for communication and accessibility (he can only turn into a few things and none of them are very expressive or mobile), and a sentient android that looks so human almost nobody can tell he's not (even his best friends))

and the whole point of the first story was those initial three protecting their world from people who wanted to separate or eliminate one of the three elements (trying to get rid of magic and technology altogether), and the reason why i wrote the second story was to write something a few decades into the future showing the impact those first characters had in bringing those elements together. and i accidentally put the perfect themes into the new main trio

#we've also introjected both of these trios!#the entire reason their themes were an accident is bc both of these stories started out as FANFICTION #but i got so obsessed with it i was like 'im making this au into its own thing' so now it's original #completely forgot about this but one of the original trio is actually also a fanfic character LMAO #i just picked him up out of his au and put him in a new world that fit him better and he is no longer an au of that guy #these are the guys from Mara aka one of the biggest worlds we have in headspace/paracosm #most of them are superheroes or similar professions #and then we have a threequel which is another au we're still working on making original but that one's more complicated and different #it's two superhero factions fighting over who gets to have control over a big city #the first one is called Nightfall- i have a giant playlist for it on spotify that i think i made on youtube as well #and it's a faction of the first superheroes ever trying to unravel a missing persons case and fight an anti-magic-and-tech mafia #and then Daybreak (also with a playlist) takes place 30 years later when superheroes are more common and no longer government controlled #and it's three teens who turn 18 and find out the building they live in is the base for a superhero agency #they live there bc their family members are superheroes (but they had no idea)#and they get recruited when they're old enough and get thrown into solving a murder case (that's a bit too close to home)#the third one is Eclipse and it's the two factions fighting over their city (no playlist yet I'm lazy) this one is more fun drama #i also have one brewing in the background of our brain that could be like. a more younger demographic spinoff #of a group of kids whose parents are heroes so they all do hero stuff too (in secret!) but like. kid hero stuff. no real peril here #we've been writing this world for like 8 years now we're Obsessed with it #it's one of the few paracosm storylines we actually plan to properly publish someday
