what is the most aspirational fic you would want to write? i'm a fan of your jmj works, but your answer doesn't have to be for jmj in particular

okay, i have a few in mind that i feel too inadequate to write but still want to, so let's buckle up! most of my problems stem from that i feel like i'm not enough of a good action writer :') and yet i have all these ideas that require action-packed scenes so i'm losing these fights...
but! here's my (non-complete) aspirational fics list:
-my dream fic is and will always be a pacific rim fic, with some hard-hitting topics like losing a friend/living with grief, but you see... the on-screen mecha fights make me close the google docs window so fast.
-oomf has been posting about an atla au and honestly... i'm soooo interested, all the high-stakes and political intrigue ... but also -- i watched atla once in my life, when i was like 9 and it was on TV so i would have to do a deep-dive in the lore for it to come out well
-an x files au!! maybe mixed with horror elements. i just don't feel confident thinking up a fascinating mystery and storyline haha
all of these are jmj :') i really really want to challenge myself to get out of my comfort zone so i wanna write at least one of them!!

btw thank you for reading my works 🫶
