Guardian fic progress reports & sausage factory status

So, I promised myself, if no-one else, to open the lid of the inspiration part of the sausage factory and make a DW post!

Stuff I have written/am definitely 100% going to write:

• Exchange fics, all of which are classified. (Do y'all want me to post about what I made come author reveals? Warning: I sign up for a bunch of exchanges.)


• Sequel/extended epilogue to Every Door a Death. It currently clocks in at 4.4k, and is technically complete, but the final scene needs some work and also words – I'm zooming from Point A to Point E too fast and need to reroute through points BCD for the characterization to make sense, basically.

Exists in some WIP form, am hopefully going to complete:

• A fic where Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan fuck, Zhao Yunlan goes "congrats on losing your virginity", Shen Wei goes ???, there is a discussion on definitions of virginity and they fuck some more; I've been writing this on my phone and the porn fairy has deserted me, so this might stay an abandoned WIP


• Sequel to Fate's True North, detailing the developing relationship and Shen Wei's sexual firsts. See above about the porn fairy escaping to Antarctica, plus this is laptop fic and I've lately had little laptop-usage time for schedule rearrangement reasons.


• Action adventure set between episodes 14 and 15, so Zhao Yunlan knows about the secret identity but hasn't gone to Dixing yet. Shen Wei gets kidnapped and has a terrible day. I'm currently a bit stalled in the intro segment; I should just skip forth to the POV switch action sequence and fill things in here later, but sometimes the brain just needs to mull things over by itself.

Concept level stuff, no words committed:

• Loveless AU (i.e. everyone has kitty ears that disappear when they lose their virginity) with a get-together that features Zhao Yunlan plucking Shen Wei's cute ears, and then a fixit, both for Guardian and for the concept that kitty ears fall off after sex. Pros: shortish, easy enough to write. Cons: sex scenes when the porn fairy is away.


• Omegaverse Imperial China AU, where Haixing and Dixing are at war, the person in charge of Dixing is the Rebel Leader, Zhao Yunlan is the Crown Prince of Haixing and also an alpha general at the border, Shen Wei is an omega general pulling a Mulan for the sake of his brother, they end up married, and one of the notable tags would be Shen Wei & Original Female Horse. *g* Dixingians would still have powers, albeit heavily nerfed, and there would be lots and lots of battle scenes. Pros: has a plot with start and end. Cons: is very long, also no-one likes omegaverse or mpreg.


• Canon divergence ft. the true purpose of the Hallows, Dixingian & pre-meteor worldbuilding, some of Shen Wei's relatives waking up, and Dixingese: the conlang (post updated with more stuff!). Pros: very cool. Cons: how does it end??


• Canon divergence where Shen Wei dumps Zhao Yunlan when he goes blind, so Zhao Yunlan has to figure out WTF is going on with Shen Wei, in addition to fixing his eyes. He also went on Tantan to get some ego boostage and came across someone surprisingly intriguing, so he has a bandage relationship of sorts (no prizes for guessing with whom) while he spies on Shen Wei. Pros: potentially intrigue-y. Cons: characterization needle hard to thread.

So. Which of the ideas sounds like it'd be most likely to make you squee in the resulting fic's comments section? :P (Or just, any thoughts. Chat plz?)
