Summary
To celebrate a decade since my first fic on Ao3, I've decided I want to spend some time infodumping about worldbuilding decisions I've made in my fic, and HOW I make decisions like that.
I do a lot of research and thinking about things like letter-writing styles, transport, societal structures, culture, speculative creature biography, how magic works... and all these ideas come from somewhere! A LOT of briefly-mentioned things in my fic have more thought behind them than appears on screen, and research too. So where do I go looking when I'm building those ideas? What do I research, and what do I just make up?
Comment with your questions, and I'll post my answers as chapters in this work.

Summary
Hermione reaches out to the mysterious owner of Silverleaf Apothecary for help when she realizes a deadly, magic-stealing pandemic is upon the Wizarding world. Severus Snape disappeared from Wizarding society fourteen years ago after he'd recovered from his injuries. Now Hermione is trying to drag him back into it. He agrees to assist, but only if she quarantines at his home while they work on the project together. As they discover ways to treat the illness, Snape realizes he might not be so solitary, and Hermione gets to know the man behind her former professor.

Bonding Through the Years by Annehiggins
Fandoms: Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
26 May 2014
Tags
Summary
Qui-Gon delivers a baby and finds himself soulbonded. Written and posted a year or so after the film aired with the following note: This was inspired by Phil Collins' You'll Be in My Heart from the Disney soundtrack Tarzan. I do not quote any lyrics or try to mold the plot to fit them. The song merely inspired the notion.

Reprise by Elfpen
Fandom Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Star Wars Original Trilogy, Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
17 Jan 2025
Summary
I began writing Reprise in November 2015, after having a hankering for a good time travel AU and then being unable to find one that fit my niche craving. I wrote chapters 1 through 3 as a casual experiment, a kind of character study of Ben Kenobi.
Half a million words and nearly a decade later, here we are.
The series consists of four main parts:
Reprise I
Reprise II
Reprise III
Reprise IV
Reprise V (COMING SOON)As well as a few supplementary entries:
The Visionary (fanart)
The Pragmatist (fanart)
Still Here (oneshot, set between Reprise III and Reprise IV but has spoilers for Reprise IV)Have fun reading!

Summary
Her godfather is dead. So is Tom Riddle, which appears to be the only thing anyone else cares about. Oh, and getting ahold of her, her money, and her titles. Fuck that noise. Ianthe learned how to Maraud from the best, and she doesn't intend to take this lying down.
She intends to change a single moment in time - and change the life of her godfather, herself, and the whole of Magical Britain. That the price for that change is all that she is, including her life? There's always a price.
Merlin showing up and telling her that the price of her actions isn't her death? Not part of her calculations. Changing the past is surprisingly easy. Living it might just be harder. Especially when the lives she changed to save the future collide with the one she now lives, thirty years in the past.

Our Lines in the Sand by GaleSentinal
Fandoms: Shadow and Bone (TV), The Grisha Trilogy - Leigh Bardugo
18 Apr 2022
Tags
Summary
In which being an orphan, a soldier, and a cartographer is more integral to Alina’s identity and she pays attention to the world around her. Meanwhile spending some 400 years in power confers certain advantages to the Darkling, but also certain blind spots. In this fight to secure a better tomorrow, both will be confronted with the same question: What are they willing to sacrifice in order to win?
A reworking of the series from the ground up, where the politics are more realistic, grisha abilities are more than just magic artillery, people aren't inexplicably stupid, the religion and history are more present, everyone has an agenda, everyone has their secrets, and imperfect people love, struggle, laugh, fight and strive for a world that they can live with.

Summary
Sorted into Slytherin with the whisper of prophecy around her, Hermione refuses to bow down to the blood prejudices that poison the wizarding world. Carving her own path forward, Hermione chooses to make her own destiny, not as a Muggleborn, a halfblood, or as a pureblood... but as a New Blood, and everything the mysterious term means.

Featuring: covens, ritual magic, world building, goblin culture, excessive amounts of science and logic and math attempting to be applied to magical concepts to make them make sense, teenage girls growing up and all that entails, a badass Hermione Granger, and far too many words and plotlines

Author's Notes:
It will take me a while to post all 50+ chapters but this will be a cleaned up and edited version that interested readers will be able to drop into a PDF or e-reader format.
A lot of very fine artist types created wonderful art to go along with the story. You can find them here: http://petprojectcaeria.deviantart.com/Bookmarked by Boji

for a hundred visions and revisions by aventria, iluxia

Summary
Dr. Strange looks at the world after Thanos and, faced with its seemingly irreparable brokenness, breaks his own oath. Tony, Stephen, and Loki go back in time for one more chance - an intentional choice, because they are each other's insurance against repeating the same mistakes. Tony wakes up shortly before the Stark Expo with the reactor's palladium core still poisoning him. Stephen wakes up with undamaged hands and a flourishing medical career. Loki wakes up in Asgard one day before Thor's coronation.
"Do I dare disturb the universe? / In a minute there is time / for decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse."
[ Yet another take on that time travel fic with lots of worldbuilding, hand-wavey comic book science, political intrigue, inventing, nerding out, and a broken Tony trying to fix a broken world - but this time he's not alone. ]
