Yayyyy it is AU-gust, 31 days of alternate universes. Mind you, I plant them all in the same game, Xenoblade X (my beloved), without even getting very alternate.
Day 1: Romance. Two OCs don't quite hit it off at a party. At least there is the promise of curry.

Au-gust day 2: Bakery
Alien learns to bake bread, fails the final boss (she's German)

AU_gust 2025 Day 3: Dragon
There are concerns about android exotic pets in New Los Angeles.
Featuring a running joke: the sheep like ovis are the weakest enemy in the game. But what if they were armed?

AU_gust 2025 Day 4: Illness
What if humans really were the disease? What do they owe their alien allies?

AU_gust 2025, I'm not behind, I just haven't posted here. Days 5&6: a coven in NLA (witchcraft) and a small moment of backstory (broken up)

Days 7&8: Masquerade Ball (+Medieval). What if he was a tough human and she was an alien with tentacles? What if there was tender fluff at a costume party? Featuring Wolf & Miss Duna Valdileo, it is canon if you believe hard enough!!!! And brother do I believe.

AU_gust 2025 9-11: after a short swerve into bad dream angst, I wrote about alien children twice. Nopon scouts. Today featured Nopon scouts.

AU_gust 2025 12-13: You know how if you name your characters, you end up having to take care of them? Yeah, I now have a werewolf and vampire duo, Rover and Einstein. Spoilers to Ch. 12 and Eleanora's side hustle.

AU_gust 2925 14 Chimera. I didn't name the characters this time!!! They're building a better mech but it needs fine tuning.

AUgust 2025. War and Rest, 15 and 16. Yesterday I needed softness, today I had nothing but rage. So yesterday Wolf and Duna OTP talked about how to end war, and today my Cross did not take kindly to being put on forced R&R.

AUgust 2025, 17&18. Continuing from Day 16, the chapters are starting to connect. My Cross really is not in the mood to take a break or start new hobbies. A colleague has to talk her through it.
Yes I'm cheesing the prompts, fite me.

AUgust 2025. It took two more chapters to finish Cross' bad day. Then I shifted to Oops, All Nopon.
I find Nopon easy to write, very handy when I am low energy and in need of fun. Nopon in Space! Nopon Detectives! Nopon Steaminess!
