A story? I'm currently writing like 5 lol

I have a novel that I'm through like 1/5 of, though I have it mostly outlined. It's a fantasy story set on a world where the sun heats the surface of the planet beyond habitable temperatures during the day, so the people live in caverns. The main story is about two civilizations that separated hundreds of years ago after a cavern flooded, the differences that grew up between them, and the conflict when they finally meet their forgotten cousins again.

I'm also working on a fantasy novella about a construction worker that got trapped in a dungeon he was helping to build, when the enchanted defenses were activated before it was complete. He spends the first section, over 80 years, trapped in complete darkness within the small antechamber inside the main gates. The magic keeps him alive as basically a skeleton, so the story is about his experience feeling his body rotting away around him, the mirror of the dungeon that deteriorates over time, due to environment, and adventurers, and what he does to cope.

I'm also working on a sci-fi novella, inspired by Dr. Who. It's a space mystery about a hospital ship with a monster on board, and the main characters are a maintenance worker for the hospital, and a multi-dimensional alien that manipulates events throughout time, on the basis of the quantum uncertainty principle. Basically, the idea is that there's wiggle room in Time, and you can take advantage of that, as long as you don't get spoiled for what's supposed to happen.

And I decided it would be a good idea to not just write a fanfic, but to completely rewrite one of my favorite sci-fi novels, Skyward, by Brandon Sanderson. I'm working on the outline for that right now. The idea is basically a What-If, where the main character decides to listen to everyone around her, and give up on becoming a pilot. If I do it right, I should be able to rewrite the whole series, with the same beginning, and the same end, but with extremely different events in the middle. It should be fun.

And as if all that wasn't enough, I'm also doing a ton of writing to create a Westmarch setting for a D&D game with some friends. I'm setting it in the Forgotten Realms, and trying to use as much official lore as possible, so this has required a ton of research, but has been really fun. Between Evereska and Cormyr, at the headwaters of the River Reaching, stands the perfect mountain to hide a dwarf city built in the upper reaches of the Underdark. Players are going to have to adventure through the abandoned dwarf city, to get into the darkness below
