In fantasy novels, say in a world with a strict knightly code. If a knight is given an order to protect a certain person but instead betrays that person for personal gain, it is a dishonored order. The knight's code is broken, and this can lead to all sorts of consequences for the character and the story.
In a historical fiction novel, if a soldier dishonors an order to retreat, it can change the course of a battle. This action can have far - reaching effects on the story, such as leading to the heroism or downfall of the character, and also impact the overall historical context of the story. For example, if this act of disobedience leads to a victory that was unexpected, it can rewrite how the war is perceived in the novel.
One great example could be a fanfic that focuses on Corvo's early days before the events of Dishonored. It might explore his training and how he became the skilled assassin we know. Another could be a story where Corvo has to face an unexpected new threat in Dunwall. And there are also fanfics that delve into his relationships, like his bond with Emily in a more in - depth way.
Another way is to check with second - hand bookstores. They sometimes have rare or hard - to - find novels. You can inquire if they have the 'dishonored' novel in stock or can order it for you. Buying from second - hand bookstores can also be more cost - effective.
You can try to check with your local library. They may have the 'dishonored' novel in their collection and you can order it through their borrowing system.
One idea could be exploring the backstory of a minor character from the game. For example, you could write about the life of a city watchman before the events of Dishonored 2. What made him join the watch? What has he witnessed in the city? Another idea is to create an alternate ending. Maybe in your fanfiction, Corvo and Emily work together in a different way to save the empire, leading to a completely new political landscape in Dunwall. And you could also focus on the relationship between the Outsider and other characters, like how his influence might have affected someone in a more positive or unexpected way.
There are fanfictions that imagine alternative endings for the dishonored series. Maybe in one, Corvo decides to side with the chaos instead of trying to restore order. This would lead to a completely different Dunwall, with new power dynamics and a much darker, more lawless city. Or a fanfiction could center around a new character who gets involved in the political intrigue of Dunwall, having to choose between different factions.
One of the best comics stories is 'The Dark Knight Returns' by Frank Miller. It redefined Batman in a darker, more gritty way and had a huge impact on the character's future portrayals.
One example could be '1984' by George Orwell. It presents a dystopian world where the government has extreme control. Another is 'Brave New World' by Aldous Huxley, which depicts a society highly regulated by technology and genetic engineering. There's also 'Fahrenheit 451' by Ray Bradbury, which shows a world where books are banned to maintain a certain order.
One idea could be a crossover where a character from RWBY gains the powers of Dishonored's Corvo. They could use the blink ability to quickly dodge attacks in battles against Grimm. Another idea is to have a setting where the world of RWBY is affected by the plague from Dishonored, and the characters have to find a cure while dealing with political unrest.
A Dishonored crossover fanfic could involve a crossover with the Assassin's Creed universe. Maybe Altair or Ezio could end up in Dunwall and learn about the Outsider's mark and the unique stealth mechanics there. They could exchange techniques and fight together against the corrupt powers in Dunwall. It would be really cool to see how their different fighting styles and cultures interact.
