Have an idea tinkering in my head. A story called 'Fairy Blue'. Currently I only got threads floating around in my head and need to weave them together properly.
Would take place in a fabricated world within a book that was made by a man called Paper Moon, a wizard that was a records keeper and recorder of the ways of magic. Over a century ago he was involved in a great war between many powerful magic users over the Philosopher Stone, after the fallout of that war, no one knew what happened to the stone, the destruction caused by the war was so great that it took decades to even find out which magic users even survived, let alone if anyone managed to acquire the fabled stone but eventually it was determined that it was Paper Moon who managed to get ahold of it. Paper Moon used the Philospher's Stone (From here on we'll call it PS) to create his fabricated world within a book, both to create that world and keep the stone from being misused by others.
But all of this is backstory that wouldn't be revealed until at least the midway point of the story as it takes place within that fabricated world.
I've only got two characters formulated right now, one being the eponymous Fairy Blue, one of the "administrators" of this book world. I have this idea of these "fairies" being in charge of different aspects of how the world works, Fairy Blue is in charge of physics; how things work in relation to each other like gravity and momentum and such, Fairy Green is in charge of the processes for how people and animals act and react (Essentially, the personality of all "living" things in the fabricated world), and so on and so on. I've gone over a few ideas for how this storybook world works and currently I'm thinking that it rewrites itself. The Fairies are the only constant of this world, the PS is a dangerous object for many reasons, one of them being that it is constantly producing energy and thus needs to have that energy sapped lest something bad happen. While this world requires a lot of energy to be maintained, it doesn't use enough to keep ahead of the PS's energy, the creation of "life", the use of magic within the storybook, and other such actions help to drain the stone but it can only continue for so long before the Fairies have to reset everything so that the PS has to use up a huge amount of energy on creating a new world.
Essentially, the storybook rewrites itself starting with a creation story which contributes the bulk of the energy consumption and then fast forwards to a point of great bounty and peace before some kind of conflict. It's a story, it's always trying to rewrite itself in the way an actual story would be written. The Fairies are the only constant, as I said before, they remember each world that's created and are central "characters" in the stories the book makes but the people of each story cease to exist whenever the story rewrites. And when I say "cease to exist" I mean completely. The storybook people and creatures don't have souls and so when they die they are just gone for good.
This leads us into the second character, Oswin. Oswin was a character that came into existence three "cycles" ago. While I'm still working on the details, he ended up in a romantic relationship with Fairy Blue. Fairy Blue herself already hated the endless cycle of stories and seeing the characters vanish into nothingness, and she couldn't stand having it happen to Oswin so she did something that would allow him to continue to exist, she gave him her "heart". She placed a piece of herself in Oswin so that he would be considered part of her and so wouldn't be erased when the story would repeat. Doing this also gave him slight access to her power over the physics of the storybook world but he's not built to be able to tap into most of it and so he's only got the ability to reorient his own center of gravity and that of things he touches within a certain radius of his body. On the other hand, Fairy Blue's emotions are now inside a strange orb like contraption that sticks to Oswin like glue while her main body no longer needs to feel the pain of the world resetting.
I have ideas I'm tinkering with for how all of that played out and how both characters feel on that but I need to work on it along with the main storyline.
