Oh, Persona 2. Where Did You Go? 

Spoken in unison. 

OK. The Prince of Persia idea was a shot in the dark and a random idea I had before I went to work I wanted to get out there. 

Now the Mummy? THAT is a idea I can get behind and what you have works very well. I watched both the orignal and Mummy Returns (Got both DVDs I think still.) and even the Cartoon series.  The above mixes very well with the characters and orignal plot.  Even can use some of the orignal movie characters to fill in the gaps. Especially Imhotep.

Xerath/Imhotep: "I will show you true power."

Jinx: Or how about this! (Blasts Xerath as Jinx drags Lux away.)

In my mind Lux, who became a archaeologist to make a name for herself and out of her family’s shadow, bets everything on finding the ‘City of the Dead’ and  Ezreal just so happens to have the only map of it existence and she can prove her nay-sayers wrong. Using all her reaming funds to mount a expedition into Shurima, Lux gets saved by Jinx from a assassin trying to take the map. Jinx ‘offers’ to help them lead to them to the city. (A lie, but she does know where it is from a dying prisoner who claimed to have escaped from it.) 

Eventually (After more run ins with rival Noxian/ Demacian group, and assassins/Medjai  trying to stop both.) they reach the half buried city. Events unfold that sees Xerath/Imhotep awoken and all hell breaking loose as the survivors flee back to Piltover. 

New Lightcannon idea: Prince of Persia crossover. A new exhibit of rare relics from Shurima opens in Piltover with the highlight being the supposed 'Sands of Time' hourglass and Dagger of Time. The ancient Vizier attacks the Museum to gain both items, and use them to turn both cities into a replica of his kingdom he was master of in ancient times. However Jinx (Surviving being stabbed by the Dagger she just happen to be wanting to rob as well.) makes off with the Dagger in a visiting Lux being dragged along for the ride.

Never played the Prince of Persia games (I seem to be saying that a lot with having not watched/read/played lol) so I'm only able to talk from context clues, but I'm somewhat struggling on figure out how to mentally develop the idea (If that makes sense).

Usually with these submissions it gets my brain buzzing, but with this one I don't really know how it would go. Like I can see Jinx being a little gremlin sneaking in to the exhibit, maybe getting found out by Vi and Caitlyn (who are patrolling the exhibit given it's high profile nature and the fact Jinx likely sent them a note expressing her interest). Lux could also be there as a diplomat.

It's just I'm drawing a blank on how the story would advance past getting the cool dagger.

I don't know, for some reason my mind just drifts to the Mummy given the subject matter and my enjoyment of the movie. In that case it could be an AU (or take place in Runeterra who knows) where Lux hires a team to explore newly discovered ruins that are thought to house unimaginable treasures.

Team would be: Lux (Kinda over it archeologist), Ezreal (Well-intentioned explorer friend that's a massive idiot surviving through sheer luck and is practically unkillable), Sivir (Local guide, gruff with a heart of gold when it counts, constant mocker of "Dumb foreigners"), Jinx (Ex-Convict hired due to her unmatched skills when it comes to traps and engineering, keeps flirting with Lux), and Caitlyn and Vi being thrown into the bunch as Jinx 'technically' isn't an Ex-Convict since she escaped prison early because she got bored.

Villain would be Xerath or something, who the accidentally unleash and have to deal with.

Maybe I just want to rewatch the Mummy.....

Now this set up is very, very good as always.

The Princess of Poseidon is a good choice as some do said there should have been something for her in Valhalla and Old Kratos using her as doorstop.

Hera is curious, but makes sense he killed her just because she bad mouth Pandora when she was no danger to him.

Hercules, in Valhalla says he has no regret in killing him, saying Hercules wanted to be the God of War for all the wrong reasons, and not the right one. But I can also say Kratos at that point of time was willing to let Hercules live if he would step aside.

Hephaestus I can see from his downfall from grace, his savage beating from his father, failure to save Pandora, and Kratos respect towards Hephaestus doing what any father would do, protect their child.

Ares definitely needed to be in Valhalla and Kratos fighting Mars and the battle ending in a draw is pretty the same for Mars taking up both the legacy of Ares and Kratos as a God who fights to bring peace and who loves his people and followers. (Mars the Father and Mars the Avenger.)

I would also give a shot-out to Orkos, who was Kratos' last true friend for the longest time, being forced to kill him to free both from Ares.

It also would be great to see Atreus in his Anubis persona and the Guardian of the Dead.

Long time I know. I first offer a Merry Christmas for you and my family. But the Valhalla DLC for Ragnarök just dropped (Super wonderful), and I been thinking about how the old God of War in Egypt ideas would work with it. In Egyptian Mythology you have the 42 Negative Confessions and it 42 Judges of Maat. It's not about perfection, but to keep trying to outweight your bad deeds with good ones, to bring more balance than chaos to the world.

Alright so, in the God of War in Egypt AU, we've gotta trim the 42 down a bit, so we're grouping it into six groups of seven. Each group of seven represent a level to clear, with the final one at the end.

So the story is, after the final boss of the second game, Apophis, Osiris invites Kratos to the Underworld for "a great matter", and tells him someone wants to talk to him. Basically, Kratos has to traverse the 42 Confessors/Judges of Ma'at with Nephthys, facing one of his sins as a boss at the end of each level.

The 42, again, in groups of seven, you're not facing all of them at once, act as witnesses, watching him go through it, and talking to him at the end of it.

The bosses are all from the previous God of War games, particularly the ones Kratos feels kinda bad about.

Also, you get the Blade of Olympus at the beginning of the DLC, and it gains power with every boss you defeat.

First boss is Helios, good solid start to the story.

Second is the Princess of Posiedon, who sort of uses Posiedon's powers from GoW3. This ends with Kratos apologizing to her and her soul finding rest.

Third is Hera, who points out he could have shown her mercy but chose not to.

Fourth is Hercules, this one is lighter than the others, since Herc isn't really salty about losing, and Hercules passes on on good terms.

Fifth is Hephaestus, who is angry at the world more than Kratos himself.

The Sixth boss is Ares himself. the man who started it all. This is a knock down drag out fight... and it leads you into the REAL final boss.

See, once you've defeated Ares, you're led into the Heart Weighing Chamber where Anubis has begun his tenure as Guardian of the Dead, and under your son's gaze you fight the real Final Boss of the Ma'at DLC.

The final boss is Mars, the Roman God of War, the inheritor of both Kratos and Ares' legends. A more grim and noble God of War.

The fight ends in a draw, and Mars leaves, having put the ghosts of old to rest and returns to the fledgling Rome, to tak eup his post as the God of War.

Legends never die.

Flashback: 2000s.

Only real gamers remember

I read the orignal 1938 story a lot in high school and there was a 2013 movie with  Ben Stiller. 

The Office set up I think works very well for the story premise and I love just how in a loop the Lux/Jinx relationship is kinda stuck in, leading to the pair just to start daydreaming fantastic scenarios about the other.  Even the fact Lux start to cause tech problems just to get near Jinx more. 

Meanwhile, Vi and Cait (Both company security.)  are probably watching from the outside, while having the same daydreams about each other.  

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.

My first thoughts...

2 sounds pretty fun and in-line to a lot of other stuff you work like Welcome to the Void, An Angel Just for Me , and A Strange New Beginning. Things would get very wild given Jinx just freed an cosmic being of untold power into the world.  

4 too given I love Mythology, and given LoL stuff like the Aspects , the God-Warriors, Freljordian Demi-gods, Other Spirit Gods, I think you could have a lot of fun of say Jinx becoming an Aspect host as did Lux. (And where does Jinx end, and the Aspect ends?) 

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…

He’s not fat. He’s fluffy. 

Eating some chicken. Typical Fat Tiger.

This is largely what I saw in my mind, more so Anubis/Atreus is the younger brother and Wepwawet as the older compared to  Kratos and Deimos. 

Wepwawet would hold a lot of misplace resentment and frustration aim at his half-brother and just really wants Atreus dead in thinking it could fix it.  

As above, unlike how it ended with Kratos and Deimos, Atreus  and Wepwawet  (Or Ophois in his Greek name.) have the chance to make up and work together as a team and cooperate over the course of the Succession War and teach something to the other. Yes, it is far from easy, and far from simple, but it would be a start for the better of everyone. 

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.
