Scripturi Te Salutant

Merideath's post got me thinking about making a WIP list.  It's fairly nontrivial.

• Fletcher-Flynn Foundation:
  1. Quid Pro Quo: Short piece to bring Perry back into play, show some questionable financial decisions on the part of the foundation members, and have a reason for Phineas and Isabella to argue. I tend to play them as far too perfect a couple; need to work on that. About 1/3 written.
  2. And Then There Were Four: Short piece to show where Vanessa fits in with the rest of the Foundation. Minimal piece written.
  3. The Best Part of the Day: Phineas, on waking up in the morning. Minimal piece written.
  4. Millicent: Next major story in the timeline. Millicent sends Ferb's half-siblings to live with him for the summer. Adventure and sibling bonding ensue. About 1 chapter written.
• Mistletoe/Brother timeline:
  
  1. Like Father, Like Son (needs a new title): Set a year and a half or so after Like Kissing Her Brother. Vanessa accidentally gets pregnant. Her boyfriend is still in high school. Lawrence flips out with flashbacks to Ferb's birth. Mental outline only.
• Explicit Stories:
  1. Under Contract: The piece getting the most work right now; likely to be my longest individual story ever written.  Almost 10,000 words so far, and not quite half done. AU-slavery, in which Gretchen gets sold and Vanessa gets framed for a crime she didn't commit. Should cover 'slavefic' on my Trope Bingo board and 'power exchange' on my Kink Bingo board.
  2. Head Games: My first-ever first-person work. Isabella's dealing with some head issues caused by her mother, and isn't sure she can have a sexual relationship at all. Phineas has some ideas that may help. About 1/4 written but needs an overhaul.
  3. Multiplicity: Another ASV Hornet story, set much later. Anna ends up with four copies of Kepheus due to a mat-trans accident. Fills the 'gangbang' square on my Kink Bingo board. About 2/3 written.
  4. Evil Vibrations: The first fanfic I wrote; technically part of the Foundation timeline, but not compliant anymore. Phineas and Isabella having fun in the back yard, while Vanessa tries her hand at evil. Complete but needs massive overhaul.
  5. Thwart Me: Another in the Foundation timeline; Vanessa and Ferb roleplaying a bit. About 1/3 complete.
  6. Untitled Avengers story: Steve and Darcy transported to another world by Loki and captured/enslaved by the natives. Originally planned out for the 'fuck or die' square on my Trope Bingo board. Mentally outlined.
  7. Untitled rope/chains story: Vanessa (or possibly Wendy from Gravity Falls) doing some bondage modeling to put herself through college. Mental outline only.
• Crossovers/Fusions:
  1. Madness Takes Its Toll: Crossover with Narbonic and Skin Horse. About 2/3 complete at 5000 words.
  2. Phineasific Rim: Fusion with Pacific Rim. Mentally outlined but nothing written down yet.
  3. Untitled Avengers Fusion: Fusion with Avengers. Phineas as Captain America (and Isabella as Darcy!). Cast assigned but no plot yet.
• Other Stories:
  1. Untitled Six Exposures for Baljeet/Ginger: Per request of another user. Some mental planning, but stuck on it right now.
  2. Just A Hero: Memorial Day story for next year. Maybe 1/2 done.
  3. Beta Reader: Original story deconstructing some A/B/O tropes. Mentally outlined.
  4. Boys and Their Toys: Dark P&F setting where P&F went evil and took over the Tri-State Area. Four character vignettes written, one of which needs to be dumped and replaced; major story to follow, loosely outlined.
  5. Untitled It's Complicated Sequel: In which Phineas and Isabella try to balance their renewed relationship with the needs of starting at separate colleges in a new city. (May end up E-rated, not sure yet.) Mentally outlined.

Assorted others exist only in my 'ideas' file. That's 20 stories, 11 of which have actual text written.

Oy.

Current plan is to finish off the Kink Bingo board with Under Contract, Multiplicity, and the untitled rope/chain story, then get another board and see what I can do with it.

[Edited to add Untitled It's Complicated Sequel.]

 I know, just yesterday I was commenting that I have seven stories I'm actively pondering, and that number's probably gone up since then - two more FFFF bits are starting to gel.

And I'm starting to get ads that (I assume) are for the forthcoming P&F: Mission Marvel, with Phineas in a Captain America costume and Ferb dressed as Captain Britain.  So I think that if I want to do my Avengers crossover, sooner is probably better than later.

What got me thinking along these lines was the similarities between the typical Darcy/Steve relationship and the Isabella/Phineas relationship, where the women is madly crushing on a guy who she at least sees as too innocent and pure to directly talk to about these things.  So that's the start of our cast - Phineas Flynn as Captain America, Isabella Garcia-Shapiro as the snarky intern.  This totally works for me.

So let's fill in the rest of our cast.  We need a womanizing gadgeteer for Iron Man, and Ferb has been described as a ladies' man, so he's the man in the can.  Baljeet turning into Buford as he hulks out is too appealing to pass up, there's our Hulk.  Vanessa would probably be a good Black Widow, but she's not a redhead - I'm torn on whether to give it to her anyway, or hand it to Candace instead.  Monty would totally be a better Hawkeye than Jeremy - he's even got the acrobat background - so that's another point in Vanessa's favor.  We still need a Thor - I haven't watched the Thaddeus and Thor episode, but hey, the names match, so that's a decent first cut.  (It also gives Thor a villainous brother, which could be useful.)

Supporting characters: my wife's first reaction to this fusion was "Who's Coulson?" and my answer pleased her: Perry.  This makes Major Monogram be Nick Fury, and Carl's female equivalent is Maria Hill.  Gretchen's got reddish hair and gets shipped with Ferb, so she's Pepper Potts.  We can pick somebody to be Jane - any of the Fireside Girls will do, so let's use Adyson.

For an enemy, I don't see how we can pass up Dr. Doomenshmirtz.  (Which would be a point for Candace/Jeremy as BW/Hawkeye, but hey, BW is supposed to have come over from the side of the bad guys, right?)  Normbots instead of Doombots.

So the cast is mostly worked out.  Now I just need to figure out WTF to do with it...
