The START of your story - how fucked up flawed is your premise/character at the start? what do they have to change? why are they HERE?
The END of your story - How do you want your main character/theme/universe to change after your story? Does it get better or worse? THIS SETS UP THE TONE DRASTICALLY.
What you want to happen IN BETWEEN - the MEAT of it. What made you start writing this WIP in the first place. Don't be ashamed to indulge, it's where the BRAIN JUICE comes from. You want a deep dive into worldbuilding and complex systems? Then your start and end should be rooted in some fundamental, unique rule of your universe (what made you obsess over it?). Want to write unabashed ship content? Make sure your start and end are so compelling you'll never run out of smut scenarios to shove in between scenes (what relationship dynamics made you ship it in the first place?).
The ANTE - the GRAVITY of your story. How high are the stakes? Writing a blurb or interaction? start with a small day-in-the-life so you can focus on shorter timelines and hourly minutiae that can easily get overlooked in more complicated epics. Or you can go ham on it and plot out your whole universe's timeline from conception to demise. Remember: the larger the scale, the less attached your story may get. How quickly time flies in your story typically correlates with the ante (not a hard rule, ofc, but most epics span years of time within a few pages, while a romance novel usually charts out the events of a few months over a whole manuscript.)
Everything else follows….?
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine "Past Tense, Pt. 1"
MDZS AND DANNY PHANTOM??! okay okay dhshdjdjdj let's go. I'm normal about this
For the wonderful @silvermp / @silvermoonphantom your crossover fics are always so different I'm currently a massive fan of this piticuler one I just had to doodle it. I tryed getting into mdz stuff a while ago and I love wei wuxian but I couldn't get into it
https://archiveofourown.org/works/25313317/chapters/61371622
I'm not sure if it was ever brought up in any of the mdzs iterations (it's been a while since I've read/watched mdzs) but how the hell did yanli even enter the battle field?
Like you're telling me no one thought to atleast send gaurds to protect this women who oh so recently gave birth recently WIDOWED literally talk of the town KNOWN for loving her family?
Like jiang cheng atleast should've thought about having someone look after her?
Long post of my star trekXmdzs au cause its Been a while:
-For one it would take place on a station. Why? Cause ds9 has taken over my brain :
-Wwx is a trill and the 1st officer: Both his parents passed away when he was a child resulting in him being taken in by a human family (the jiangs) and as he got older he grew the ambition to gain a symboite (As his mother and father) I feel like he'd probably have a huge culture clash because of living on earth and being so highly influenced by its culture and this causes.. complications for him during his training.
-Lwj (Okay so I keep flip flopping between vulcan!wangji and human!wangji because both seem to fit him so I've decided on half!human, half!vulcan wangji) he's the science officer of the station and hasn't spoken to his family in 7 years cause baggage! Who doesn't love emotional baggage?
Wangxian: They Met briefly during their years at starfleet academy though other than the academic rival thing they had going on there friendship never went deeper than that, ofc fate had it out with them so immediately after graduating they found themselves as bunk buddies on their first assignment, and their next assignment… and their next… (they were both promoted at the same time. Everytime.) I think their romantic feelings would start blooming somewhere between the time period before the station, though it only got srs during their time on the station.
Song lan is a human and also the commander: He was married to a ship captian (xiao xingchen (who was a trill) xiao xingchen passed during the war between the dominion (though some say his first officer had a hand in his death) he's pretty lonely but, he starts to open up once he meets wwx especially considering wwx happens to be related to his husband.
Jiang Yanli, Human and station counselor: She once had a very close bond with wwx (despite her toxic mothers involvement) but, after wwx got a symboite to her he completely changed, In Addition, They barely interacted for a while because of their jobs, though their time on the station reconnects them.
(Also jfm divorces yzy sometime when jyl is on duty, this is unrelated, but a big W for jyl)
Jin zixuan, Half ferengi and half human, and the chief of engineering: Not much too him but, his dad is horrible so.
Xuanli: Tbh I'd imagine in this au they wouldn't be endgame , Jl is still born but its by alien interference, they're besties tho dw it's fine.
Wen Qing, A bojarian, and the Cmo: Was never a fighter during the resistance mostly a healer, after the resistance she took an oath never to harm anyone unless needed , highly popular in starfleet medical, and famous on bajor.
Wen Ning, also bajoran, he's a nurse!: his backstory is pretty similar to Wen qing though id imagine he worked more in the physical field than the medical field during the resistance, still besties with wwx.
Nie Huaisang! An andorian, owns an art shop: he has a starfleet degree, He just really doesn't care about it, his brother is still salty about it.
Edit:
I forgot to mention, but the head of security is mianmian: shes a betazoid
how it feels to have no social media presence as an artist
OMG?! I need more I desperately need to see wangxian in ur arcane au ahhhhhhhh
Wen ning and wei wuxians bond is so so very special to me.
Where the yilling laozou may be the ghost general won't be far
Vulcan!lwj meets betazoid!wwx for the first time only to feel the waves of chaotic aura this guy has.
Meanwhile.
Wwx: wow! What an emotional vulcan!
