quick blurbs of some of the 10 plus jax teller x ofc fics i have saved; tell me which i should go with to fully flesh out.

Untitled (Jax Teller/OFC; Main female character is Latina, Her oldest brother is Latino, and her other brother is Black)

Our FMC, along with her two older brothers, move into Charming and open a few businesses. What the club doesn't know, is that these three newcomers are Zobelle's children...only they're his soliders. Zobelle had mixed children for their genetics and trained them each in the typical underground jacket of violence.

He uses them as a last resort to take over a place. Zobelle installs his children before moving into town. First few chapters cover moments in Season One involving the new three characters before getting into the arc of Season 2. AU. Deals with the complicated race issue in Charming, and the MC. Juice's secret may come out more earlier. This is the Zobelle plotline extended. Psychological, racial, familial bonds are all questioned and explored.

2. 2 Fast 2 Untitled (Jax Teller/OFC; Latina)

Our FMC (Sunny) is Luann and Big Otto's adopted child who grew up with our normal players. When Donna is murdered, Sunny comes back into Charming after two years away to help with her godchildren. Tara only remembers Sunny as the little quiet girl, not the confident women who seemed to have a history with Jax, much to Gemma's pleasure. AU. Complex love.

Blurb: Tara waited for Jax to stand behind her as all of the club members who were family did to their Old Ladies. But her face dropped as he walked past her. She was even further shocked when she saw him stop to stand next to Sunny, both facing opposing directions, Sunny facing the funeral, and Jax facing away from everyone. Her stomach churned as she saw Jax place his hand on Sunny’s deeply curved hip. She watched the rest of the scene play out like a bad television show. 

Jax leaned down and kissed Sunny’s temple, walking away without looking back. 

Sunny looked at Opie, an apologetic look on her face.

Opie nodded in the direction Jax walked. 

Gemma squeezed Sunny’s hand that she held. 

Sunny leaned down and kissed Gemma’s head. She turned and walked towards Jax. 

Jax, without looking behind him, held his hand out, knowing she would take it. 

Sunny, like she always did, caught up to Jax, her hand resting in his. 

Tara was fucking confused. She knew she had missed so much, she knew that everyone was keeping so many things from her. But she had no idea what the fuck just happened. She leaned over to look at Gemma, knowing she would have something to say. 

Instead, Gemma just gave her a quick nod and sly smirk.  Tara didn’t like the feeling she got.

3. Guess what? Untitled as well. (Jax/OFC, Angel/OFC, Juice/OFC; Our three MFCs are Latina with an Indigenous background, Mexican with an Indigenous background, and Black with a down South, Texan background.) AU. This eventually will see the truce with SOA and the Mayans through the women.

Through the Grim Bastards, SAMCRO hires three women to jump Cherry and Ima; through the three women, the club is now connected to even deeper gun and drug ties causing the rift between Jax and Clay to only worsen. As some of our MCs partner up with members of SAMCRO, Gemma is pissed as she can't manipulate these three. Mixing representation, with culture and spirituality as both SOA and Mayans MC, this is meant to be more dramatic like the show(s).

----

4. Untitled Fore! (golf ref haha) (Jax/OFC, Thomas!LivesAU, Tommy/Tara)

An AU where Thomas never died. A little girl became a Cinderella story in Charming. But SOA ain't a fairytale baby. After Jax and Tara break up, Thomas and Tara go to school together, eventually falling in love. Jax and OFC are on and off. A different take of the big events of Season 1; Donna dying, creepy Kohn, sneaky Stahl, and the divide between Jax and Clay. With Tommy and Tara both facing off against Clay and Gemma, it's a race between them both to rope Jax and OFC to either side before the club gets deeper into violence.

----

5. Cinco de Untitled (Jax/OFC; OFC is Juice's sister. This is SOA from day one with my take of Juice's sister involved. David!Lives, Tara/David Hale) AU. Smutty.

Blurb:

Jo blinked. Before she knew it, she had her hand wrapped around Wendy’s throat. 

Wendy clawed at Jo’s hand, surprised at her actions. Jo never was known to her to ever throw a punch. Her windpipe was narrowing with heavy pressure and speed. She gasped for air that couldn’t be reached. 

-

David nodded. “I told you, it’s a long story. Let me get there,” he bumped Tara’s shoulder with his own. 

Tara laughed, moving with the small push. She bumped his shoulder back playfully. She giggled as she saw a small blush come across David’s face. She felt a lick in her stomach; it had been a while since she made a man do that, and it made her feel good. “Sorry, sorry, go on,” she broke the moment between them.

----

6. Still not great at naming things (Jax/OFC) OFC is a newcomer into Charming with her young daughter. AU of SOA from the beginning.

Blurb:

Soleil turned to a shaking Jax. “Jax…”

“Sol, I gotta go. Hairy Dog? They’re–” Jax stopped quickly, shaking his head. Soleil may have suspicions, but she didn’t know exactly what the Sons did. Or that she was even around the mother charter. “I gotta take care of this…I can’t be, I can’t–” his nostrils flared. He shook his head.  Soleil blinked, looking into his eyes. She nodded slowly. “Okay. Okay,” she licked her lips. “Go do what you need to do. Gemma and I will hold off DFCS until you take care of it, but that means,” she reached up and grabbed his chin sharply, making him look at her. “That means you come back. Because you heard what the doctor said. He’s stable. As long as he stays that way, he has a chance. When you come back, I’ll tell you how Selena almost didn’t have a chance when she was born either,” she breathed, watching Jax’s electric blue eyes widen in shock. “And she’s here. You held her. Just like you’re going to hold Abel. Okay?” She squeezed his chin. “You fucking come back,” she hissed at him, tears in her eyes.

7. 7th Untitled Hell (Opie/OFC eventual Jax/OFC)

FC dates Opie after Donna dies. Jax is attracted to her, but keeps his distance as she is Tara's one and only friend. When Opie dies, our FC and Jax both spiral down into each other's arms. Sisterhood of the traveling angst baybay.

----

8. What's four plus four? Still untitled. (Jax/OFC) Romance/Humor

Jacob Hale's very very young new wife visits Tristan in the hospital after the events in Funtown, bumping into Gemma and Jax, further complicating the already tense political and guardian relationship between the town and SAMCRO.

----

9. Lucy in the Sky (in Charming) (Jax/OFC, Happy's baby sister AU)

Happy's baby sister, who is the opposite of him, comes down to Charming for a quick trial run. Can she be the woman to settle Jax down and be the Old Lady he needs to change the club the way he wants now with Happy in his pocket? (I can probably do this as a one shot or a two parter!) Part One & Part Two

---

10. Untitled (Jax/OFC, Juice's baby sister AU.)

Juice's sister Julissa moves to Charming after tragic events; only a few months behind Wendy in pregnancy. As Julissa steps up to be Abel's mother as Jax also is the father that stepped up to Julissa's daughter, the club and Tara think they're involved, when in fact they are not. Butttt obviously that doesn't stay the same for too long. Meanwhile the normal bullshit is happening with the club.

---

11. Untitled (Jax/OFC)

The little girl that Gemma had sent away long ago comes back with a tragic story. Feeling guilty, Gemma takes her under her wing. Unbeknownst to Gemma, that once little girl knew exactly the Queen's role in her forceful exit and has a plan to take the Queen down. While its Jax vs Clay, Gemma will have her own battle to deal with FC.

----

12. Untitled (Jax/OFC)

Miguel Galindo's baby sister runs for Mayor of Charming. While appealing to keep Charming, Charming, the town is weary over her cartel connections. (I can probably make this a one shot actually!)

Let me know which one you guys want me to do first! I eventually want to do some of the ones on this list, but let me know which I should do first!

[legacysam]

have you ever been on bus/train/other public transit and had to listen to someone else's half of a loud and dramatic gossip session because they're on the phone half a car away and nobody cares about privacy anymore, and at first you're like "idk sounds like typical relationship shit" and you try to go back to your podcast, but then it Takes a Turn? and suddenly this weird stranger's roommate's cousin and his deeply fucked up relationship(s??) are all you can think about, and this person just keeps dropping more and more insane-sounding details like "WHOSE ex is he? him too??" and "wait did he actually kill someone or just let them die tho?" and "okay but did the ipad baby fuck the old man or not" and oops your stop was ten minutes and several murders ago

yeah that's what it's like not watching iwtv rn and it's delightful

Goodbye 'melbox', hello 'Sukidakara/Because I Like You!'

(this is word spaghetti lol)

Ok. So 'melbox' (purposefully lowercased) is my oldest WIP. I think the idea came to me in 2016? It's been my baby for a while, but it's been impossible to write. The six characters are a part of a "mystery magazine club" that takes place in an abandoned teacher's lounge room a murder took place in years prior that they vowed to the school body to solve. But they all also gained superpowers from that room related to their creative hobby (ex. Mel is a writer, so she could write words in the air, and fling them to people to have them either say or do something as if she was their author). On top of that, they all have their own personal struggles & character growths to be had (Mel struggles with social anxiety, Dre's bubbly personality at school contrasts w/ his non-existent relationship w/ his parents who he felt miserable at home with, Ayanna masks her depression despite her mom being a literal therapist, etc). I wanted their to be typical comedic anime moments too, so it was hard to find the tone for this.

So, to write this series, I'd have to balance:

Six characters personal struggles/individual goals & development

the fact that they are a part of this Mystery Magazine club, and have duties to fulfill regarding creating a magazine.

The club working to solve this murder mystery

The murder actually unraveling

the characters all being seniors in HS who would be graduating by the end of the series

balancing comedy, action, and angst through it all

When planning S1 of this series (bc mind you, this was gonna be 2-4 seasons). I realized that..... this story actually bores me. 🥲 I feel like if you remove the murder mystery from the story, this could easily be a series for middle schoolers. 😭 And that's the core of it. Like maybe it could all work out if I was passionate about mixing all of this into one, because it isn't impossible! I just don't care enough to do all of this lol. And I know I'm not being dramatic about it, because Eyes of the Beholder is FULL of angst and requires a lot of planning to get things right but it EXCITES me so much!

The thing is, I LOVE the characters of melbox!! They're my babies. 🥺 So I decided to put them in another WIP idea that I've had for a minute, and they fit in it perfectly! 🌺It's 100% a rom-com series of an extroverted jock x socially anxious introvert that were also childhood friends. My 2nd childhood friends to lovers series, uh oh. 😂

TLDR, the complicated 'melbox' is now the simpler yet wonderful rom-com Sukidakara! (Because I Like You!).

Something to ponder

Fandom talks about the likelihood of there being living Galra soldiers on every single cruiser that Voltron destroys. But we don’t often get hard evidence of that.

So, just a tiny reminder:

This guy. This very flesh-and-blood guy

Was in the hanger, seconds before 

Shiro blew a hole in the wall, large enough to fit a fighter through.

If a fighter can fit, then a person (with the handy assistance of 14.7 psi) can also fit. That’s what ‘explosive decompression’ means (it’s not your eyeballs bursting or your blood boiling out your ears, neither of which will happen). It’s all about your squishy body riding the wave and nyooming out into the void.

(Of course, disclaimer: this is the same show wherein both Keith and Lance just... held on tightly in the brisk-ish breeze, when their doors were opened so, maybe the rules are just dumb different.)

Okay well, blah blah force fields turn on blah blah safety measures

Maybe. I don’t remember the Galra ever having a much of a rep for health and safety, but okay, maybe. 

But if not, then there is an approx. zero percent chance Shiro didn’t just vent the room and dump that poor guy into space. 

And furthermore-

It’s probably safe to say Shiro knew he was there

(Some of y’all are likely going to noT MY SHIRO!! even louder after this (which, okay that’s fine. More Shiro for me), but bear in mind that as of, I believe, S1E13, all of the Pals have at some point set foot on Galra ships (except Lance? Don’t quote me on that, but I think so). So, they all know full well that there are people on-board. They all know Sendak’s ship was the norm, not the anomaly. 

And they all keep right on blowing shit up, without missing a beat

So. Just in case anyone was (somehow) still happily drifting in cognitive dissonance because it wasn’t adequately endorsed that yes, our young heroes murder folk on the regular...

Then uh. You’re welcome.)

Ship ask: Xie-wang/Wen Kexing

1. What made you ship it?

this moment. just this. i don't typically give an excess amount of thought to shipping on my first watchthrough of something, especially something i'm so captivated by. but this moment popped on my screen and i was like "HELLO?!"

i'm still entirely lukewarm about the necessity of the scene but i am all here for over the top unnecessary dramatic tension between these two murder babies villains.

2. What are your favourite things about the ship?

the contrast between the things they don't have in common and the things they do.

they're both orphans, they were both raised to be killers, they're both very good at what they do, they both desperately need to be genuinely loved and both have the capacity for intense and terrifying and consuming devotion. they're both leaders in their own right.

but for one, their lives were so different. wen kexing grew up in hell, with no one to take care of him--he had no one to really rely on, even luo-yi. we know about the beatings and we can guess about more. xie'er ostensibly grew up in luxury, with servants and his yifu. with the way he reacts to yifu slapping him, it feels likely that's never happened before. but it's also like--whew, is that a fucked up relationship. manipulative and horrifying. two entirely different types of fucked up, one because of isolation and one because of, well, zhao jing. which puts all their hard and sharp and soft edges in different places, all their hurts in a different order, all their expectations for relationships and concepts of self and their needs.

they both have style, education, an appreciation for refinement and fashion and such. xie'er's grew out of having been raised around luxury and his deep and abiding desire to simply be furen, i swear, and to be seen and accepted and enough and Pleasing. and kexing's grew from obsessively learning about the outside world, about other kinds of people and life and plunging himself into these constructs of importance that had no bearing on any of his lived experience but creating a self that fit into them regardless because he needed something.

and in spite of xie'er growing up more pampered and with access to more people, i think wen kexing has the advantage of him when it comes to caring for someone else. he had a-xiang, after all, and part of the point was that they kept each other human even in a place of ghosts. i think xie'er still has a bit of a journey ahead of him where that's concerned. wen kexing did, too, when he came out of gui gu, but i think he had the advantage.

their motives/purpose also differ considerably in a lot of ways. wen kexing has been consumed with revenge his whole life, with his own plans--and xie'er with his yifu's plans. xie'er has always deferred to yifu, while kexing made a point of becoming gui gu guzhu so he would not be accountable to anyone. they have kind of opposite journeys they need to take where that's concerned. xie'er needed to figure out how to value himself outside of zhao jing, how to see himself as a complete person, how to figure out what he wanted out of his life and where his own ambitions would take him and what kind of leader he was without a leash. kexing needed to figure out how to rely on someone, how to see himself as a human at all, how to accept what he actually wanted out of life and allow himself to have it, even to the point of learning a different kind of leadership as a partner and a subordinate.

these things could lead to such an interesting ship dynamic. it could be chaos and fire and explosions or it could be soft. thinking about where in their stories do they meet, what struggles are they currently having and how do they clash or overlap? in what ways can they help each other or hurt each other? xie'er could be expecting yifu and instead he gets someone who is so straightforward when he's mean and genuine when he's soft and who doesn't hide his sarcasm behind sweet lies or turn any moment of concern or care into a subtle transaction. kexing could, to his complete bafflement, experience the full weight of someone's obsessive jealous devotion. they could make each other so much worse. we just don't know.

3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

i don't know any opinions about this ship at all. that seems to be a general thing with me. my opinion is that they should kiss.
