Disney in all, but name.
Well, it’s kind of hard to think of yourself as a duchess when you’re sleeping on a damp floor. But, sure, every lonely girl would hope she’s a princess.
2; Oh how fun! Best of luck on it then and I love to see how it turns out.
4: I see . Still sounds fascinating and I even played a few God games myself on AH.Com. it be fascinating to see what they're like and the world below them and around them.
Wanting to post random AUs I’m sitting on just to get peoples opinions, but then there’s the expectations I’ll work on them regularly. I don’t know if there’s a way of sidestepping that by tagging it something like “Concept Fic” just so I don’t add more to my large plate.
Think even if I did I’d still leave at least some people eager for more…
Currently got (Practically all Lightcannon btw, its claws are deep):
Nature Mage Jinx gets exiled to Demacia and chills with Ivern in the woods.
Canon Divergent AU where Jinx’s attempt at using the Hexgem opens a small portal allowing for Dark Cosmic Lux to get out of pocket dimension prison (This one I actually just have to think of an ending for…)
Monster Slayer Lux with Goblin Powder and Siren Seraphine.
Gods/Goddess AU taking inspo from Greek and Celtic myth, honestly the one I’m most eager to share since I experimented with my writing style.
There’s also that Demon fic which is 13k words that I got stuck on…
Maybe it might turn out okay if I work shopped a soft/open ending for each? Though that might be a bit hard for some of them…
Spoken in unison.
Here here.
I’m trying to prove a point to Blizzard
What you and the-foxy-fam-and-friends is very, very good indeed. It definitely and interesting route to the Greek Gods, and how they story would go.
Aphrodite side quest ending with her wanting to honor both Hephestus and Pandora is very good.
The side quest with Dionysus is fun, more so him calling Kratos brother and having a purpose after so long. Him and Kratos bounding would be pretty to see, even Kratos feel terrible for Dionysus over losing Ariadne and is later hopeful the two can reunite.
Hestia and Demeter: It is just plain tragic and does bare parallels with Ragnarök with Freya out to get Kratos for Baldur’s death before becoming an ally. More so Kratos spares Demeter to put the Ghost of Sparta behind him.
The thing I love is them forming the basis of Rome. Kratos mentioned to have fought in the Trojan War (He liked the poem better.) so the remaining Greek Gods founding what is then just a village on the Tiber of Future Rome is a fascinating twist. It does really bring the orignal trilogy to a proper end, and one that isn’t just bloodshed and bring to rest a lot of Kratos’ old ghost.
On something a little closer to home, in Mythology, Anubis had a brother name Wepwawet, a wolf-headed god that name meant ‘Opener of the Ways’ with inscriptions from the Sinai states that Wepwawet "opens the way" to king Sekhemkhet's victory. So some see him as a sorta scout. Likewise, Wepwawet was said to accompany the pharaoh on hunts, in which capacity he was titled (one with) sharp arrow more powerful than the gods alone.
Later on, Wepwawet was also seen as one who opened the ways to, and through, Duat, for the spirits of the dead.
So...one would give Atreus his own older half-brother from his mother’s previous marriage with Set, with similar, but different powers (Think an Scout/Ranger), and Kratos flashbacks to what happened with Deimos.
To add to that God of War in Egypt with the remaining Greek Gods also there; how about Aphrodite is in grieving and misses Hephestus and Pandora. Sort of a 'you dont know how good you had it until its gone' deal. She took her lavish life for granted and now that she is all alone, she finds herself reminiscing of her disabled husband and his child. So Atreus and Kratos find some items (a bracelet and a cane) that used to belong to them and hand them over to the former goddess of passion as she takes their words to be a better person for their memory.
Kratos: Hephestus died protecting the one thing he cherished more than you, his child. All his life he was rejected by his family and sought your favor as you had love for everyone. In the end, he believed that he was better off loving and protecting his daughter then seeking love from you.
Aphrodite: I, thank you for your truthful words, Spartan. I know that I cannot change what is already done, and i am to blame for being such a horrible mother and wife. Ares had his charm, but I was too blind to see he only valued me for pleasure. (GoW Ares is one track, unlike your take)
Atreus: Dont be sorry miss, be better. Yes we all made mistakes, some larger than others, but they wouldnt want you to waste away in grief. Try to live and honor their memories by being a better god than what you were before. Everyone deserves a chance to change, dont throw yours away.
Aphrodite: I can see your father clearly in your, and your mother. I shall try and move on, for their sake. Thank you, both of you.
With her sidequest done, Aphrodite vanished and is never heard from again as she strives to remake herself to honor her deceased family.
I had a similar idea, but it was for all the Greeks.
For Aphrodite it's a lot like what you mentioned, but the other ones would have quests as well.
Dionysus: It's helping him find Ariadne, whom he was certain died in the destruction of Olympus. After a few side missions where Kratos and Dionysus bond, you find out she's hiding out in Italy. Dionysus thanks you, calls Kratos brother, and rushes of to find his beloved, moving with purpose for the first time in centuries.
Artemis and Apollo: They didn't particularly care about Olympus and their father, they're more trying to keep Aunt Demeter alive than anything else. Once you end Demeter's quest, Artemis and Apollo lose the energy to hunt you, and go back to wandering the world.
Hestia and Demeter: Their fates are intertwined. Hestia and Demeter are the last of the children of Kronos left, and Hestia just wants to keep her sister alive. But Demeter is so mad with grief at the loss of her daughter that she cannot see anything else. Demeter's quest is part of the Main Quest, and Kratos, who is tired of being the Ghost of Sparta, spares Demeter's life. Demeter can't even respond, she's too broken by grief, and Hestia quietly spirits her away.
At the end of the game, there's a short epilogue, where we see the remaining Greek Gods have come together in a small little village in Italy, built on the banks of the Tiber River, called Rome.
I see Penguin.
Pandaria or horrified elf face, you decide
To go back to this with some
Doomed!AU, but more based off of the 1951 movie When Worlds Collide. Itself based off the 1933 book by Edwin Balmer and Philip Wylie, the Earth is faced with certain destruction by a rogue star named Bellus alongside a planet name Zyra in it orbit. There is a mad rush to build a rocket like Ark by a group of scientists and others to fly to Zyra to give Mankind a chance at survival.
So picture say Carmelita is tasked with the urgent delivery of information and photographs from one group of scientists and astronomers to another to confirmed their fears of Bellus arrival, first with Zyra passing by causing massive earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis, and not long afterward Bellus wiping Earth itself. Carmelita of course goes into an state of shock and terror and breaks down in Sly arms when he shows up not long later.
In the mad rush to build the ship along with other nations and groups before it too late, maybe the Cooper Gang is tasked with stealing objects of value that are critical to the Ark being finished in time. (With the promise of Carmelita being let on the ship when it leaves.)
Following Zyra pass-by and later the Last Day on Earth, everyone rushes to leave as hordes of desperate survivors and those not chosen attempt to take the ship and escape at the last moments. Later landing safety on the New World.
I will also say the set up can work with The Bad Guys as well. (Diane Foxington becomes governor of nothing and the Bad/Good Guys become some of the last survivors.)
There is a sequel book 1934 After Worlds Collide that deals with living on Zyra, finding alien cities and meeting and facing with other survivors from other Arks.

Anything is possible. His official Overwatch 2 backtstory states Junkrat founds something on the lines of ‘a extremely valuable secret in the bones of the Omnium’. What that could be we have no idea what it might be, or could be even now.
What is this secret? Could it be the means of speaking to Aurora, or understanding the Iris? Could it be the means of freeing the Omnics from Null Sector? Is it the answer to Ramattra’s unsaid question?
We just don’t know. But I still think whatever Jamison knows, or even has could be critical element of the story.
Random theory: This is a old one, but Junkrat's treasure is actually the secret of Omnic life and could be the key in saving them and starting the next generation and future generations onward.
Of course he's much too crazy and insane to even understand what he knows, or what he has, but Jamison could actually be the biggest game changer of the whole setting.
That's the irony in the Junker who hates Omnics could be the one to save them.
That is both very funny to me and also a very interesting way to get the Junkers involved in the main storyline.
Do I think it's possible? No, I think a big thing in the story is the fact that Omnics are a set generation, but that's not the only problem, they are an oppressed minority. Making a new generation isn't going to stop the discrimination and abuse. It's a fix to a problem but not a fix to the problem.
But this did get me thinking.
In an interaction Rammattra has with Echo he mentions that he has a question he constantly asks her and that he wishes she could answer. Maybe what Junkrat has it the answer to that question. Or maybe it's the answer to what happened when Aroura ascended/what the iris is.
Better yet what if what he has is the key to saving the Omnics who have been subjugated? Like it's a technology that can remove the helmet without hurting the omnics?
I don't know but this ask has gotten me thinking-

Obviously, Jack would be the Devil, or at least one of the big name devils. I could see his end goal being the same, freeing ancient before time monsters from their vaults and all the quests and deals is part of that. Maybe Jack is himself an kinda Vampire'/his Handsome Sorcerer self. If he can bring back Janey back...
And Angel is a actual angel he's sucking the holiness out of.
A alternative idea for Athena is a page from Van Helsing, who is strongly hinted to be a Fallen Angel Gabriel and the one who killed Dracula in 1462. (And the latter came back thanks to a deal with the Devil.) Also he became a werewolf in the final battle and kills Dracula.
An exiled witch that lives within the forest, drowned in desolation and acrimony after her former home had been burned down—along with her dearest. Years after her vow to never use dark magic again, the flaming desire to be with her late wife ignites stronger than ever.
She is willing to make thousands of deals with the devil just to bring her back.
Caitlyn as the Corporate heir sent to learn the trade makes the most sense and I love the irony it was Cassandra who got Vi as her daughter's personal security. It also adds a extra dynamic of Vi/Cait compared to Lux/Jinx as you said. (Vi thinking she has no chance with Caitlyn and Caitlyn thinking she be taking advantage of Vi.)
Lux: Hello! I'm Luxanna Crownguard. I just transferred here, so I'm still learning everyone names. May I ask who are you?
Jinx: (Was busy fixing something.) Wait...your asking me? Oh umm..Jinx, I work with IT.
Lux: Well, good day to you Jinx.
New random story idea: The Secret Life of Jinx and Lux. Based off the story, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, it has Jinx and Lux having just a normal, slow day, and so having various daydreams being and doing wild and crazy stuff to get by the day. Think of it as a excuse to do various one-shorts in one story and maybe explore the LoL skin alternate universes. (Say picture Jinx as a cool assassin and Lux as her target's girlfriend who falls for Lux.)
I've never seen The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, but I can kinda get the idea behind it based on how you describe it. Story could basically be about two bored office workers (or some similar job) thinking up ways to pass the time.
Unsure if it would be a shared daydream or just have switching PoV each chapter. Kinda like the idea of switching PoV just for the fact they could both believe they have a one-sided crush and daydreaming around the other.
Like for example, maybe Jinx works IT and Lux is the Secretary for the company. Most people don't pay Jinx (or any of the IT people for that matter) much mind, maybe they're seen as weird, yet every morning when Jinx walks in Lux always greets her which started their initial relationship. Just small talk, evolved into offered food/drink, but never really going past that.
Daydreams start from there with Jinx bored out of her mind in between tickets, thinking of the nice pretty blonde that's always so nice to her for some reason. Maybe it starts with just a fantasized conversation or date, then it grew more 'fun' from there, leaning more into fantasy based on whatever caught Jinx's attention for the day.
On Lux's end it could be she started greeting Jinx just out of habit, but then with the small moments shared she began wanting to know more, but is too shy to actually do that (maybe Jinx seems too cool or something). Her daydreams start from that thought.
Could also have a point where Jinx starts receiving almost daily tickets from Lux about some form of tech problem out front, all created on Lux's end just for the chance of chatting. Like "My monitor isn't working," only she's just 'accidentally' unplugged it. Jinx is unsure if Lux is doing it on purpose for some reason or is actually that technically challenged.
