Summary

Each chapter is an outline or idea for episodes or expansions I'd add if I got to reboot the show.

This is working under the assumption that the miniseries would take place over seven months rather than seven days, and that it would be comprised of about 24 episodes, around 40 minutes each. Some of the ideas would be set post-canon, though, for later 'seasons'.

(Number of fics until I reach 300: 8...)

Chapter 6: LS: The Second Greatest War Of The OZ

This means war, people.

It starts with Ambrose and Cain being petty and snipey towards each other as normal. It escalates to the entire castle being involved in a prank war. How did point A get to point B? Who cares, just grab a water balloon and look past corners before making a turn — let's go, soldier!

 

(At one point the Queen walks in and they all freeze like children caught by their mother. She surveys the scene with wide eyes: cream everywhere, people soaked, members of her court and guard standing midmotion in throwing things that should not be thrown. Her expression is flat. They all expect the worst)

 

(She quietly picks up a water balloon, studying it. Then, with a grin that is far too wide, she throws it right in the face of the head of the guard himself)

 

(There is no going back after that. The war continues with renewed fervor)

 

(It is only Azkadellia's interference that stops it from spilling out into the streets, as she's determined to spare the poor people of OZ from any more warfare if she can manage it)

 

(There may or may not be some Mobats still loyal to her. They may or may not be learning what false peanut brittle cans are. But either way, no-one is safe)

"...a crow that really likes stealing things, mostly shiny things and buttons — but that's okay because so does Ambrose, and they like trading between their respective hoards" 😂😂😂 🐦‍⬛✨

I think this one could work in canon best out of all these (amazing ideas) so far! It could fit right in!
