Illario & Caterina Confrontation This scene takes place after the First Talon drama has been resolved, leaving Illario alone in a cell for his crimes. His solitude doesn’t last long, though. I hadn’t planned on sharing this initially, but I had too much fun writing Illario as the venomous, bitter little shit that he is to let it stay buried. Update: Thank you for engaging with my writing—it means a lot! I’m still getting used to sharing my work, so any input boosts my confidence and keeps me motivated!

(The sound of a guard’s footsteps echoes down the corridor, followed by the low scrape of an ornate chair being placed outside his cell. Illario leans back against the cold stone wall, his glare sharp as Caterina steps into view. She lowers herself into the chair with practiced grace, smoothing her gloves as if she had all the time in the world.)

Caterina: (cold) "You’ve left me in quite the position, Illario."

Illario: (mocking) "Poor Nonna. Did I shatter your perfect little empire?"

(She doesn’t respond right away. Instead, she leans back in her chair, looking as if his words barely register.)

Caterina: (ignoring his jab) "The Crows won’t take you back—not after this."

Illario: "So. Exile it is then. To a swamp, maybe? No—" (he presses a hand to his chest, his tone feigned with mock theatrics) "—the Anderfels. Nothing says exile like dying of boredom in a blighted wasteland."

(His expression shifts, as though struck by sudden inspiration.)

Illario: "No, wait—you’re sending me to Kirkwall, aren’t you?" (he lets out a low, biting laugh.) "You really are a monster."

(Caterina’s lips curl into a faint grimace, just enough to acknowledge something in his words. His laughter falters, the mocking edge slipping as his suspicions solidify.)

Caterina: "Your death will be staged, of course. A quick knife to the ribs from one of the guards." (She pauses, her eyes finally shifting to meet his) "Then a small funeral—just enough to keep up appearances."

(He rise from his seat, pacing the cramped cell before stepping closer to the bars.)

Illario: "And you think I’d go along with this? That I’d play the obedient grandson one last time?"

(Caterina’s gaze hardens, her disdain barely concealed.)

Caterina: (A single, dry scoff escapes her) "Obedience? From you? But fine, if you’d really waste away in here to prove a point—go ahead."

(Her words hang in the air, offering no room for further argument yet Illario persists.)

Illario: (mocking) "Ah, how generous. Rot in here, or rot somewhere else: What a choice."

(Illario pushes off the bars, and crosses the small cell. The bedframe groans under his weight as he drops onto it.) Illario: (voice low, biting) "Before I decide anything, tell me, Nonna—has your little King of Crows finally warmed up to the throne?"

(He tilts his head, watching her closely)

Illario: "Then again, I suppose he hasn’t had much time to sit on it—still away, running those errands. Funny, how easily he’s taken to playing the hero.” (He leans back slightly) "The First Talon; off saving the world instead of running the House."

(Caterina’s cane taps once against the stone floor, the sound sharp and precise, breaking the brief silence.)

Caterina: “Enough. I chose Lucanis because he has what you don’t. Strength. Discipline. And the will to put this House first.”

(For a moment, something vunerable flickers across his face, but it’s buried quickly under his usual grin.)

Caterina: (cold) "Spare me, Illario. You’ve never been hard to read."

Illario: (pausing, watching her carefully) “You say that, but I fooled you all for an entire year.”

Illario: "But maybe you’re right. Maybe I’m not cut out for it."

(He looks at her, his eyes burning with hate.)

Illario: "Then again—how’s your perfect choice working out for you, Nonna?" (He gestures broadly to the cell around him) "You’ve got me here, rotting away, while the ‘Demon of Vyrantium’ is slowly slipping through your fingers."

(Caterina's expression doesn’t seem to change, but he catches it—the faintest tension in her jaw. It’s enough.)

Illario: "I see it in you." (His grin sharpens) "You keep telling yourself it’s the contract that is keeping him away. But no, Caterina—he left you behind the day you made him First Talon.

(For a moment, Caterina doesn’t move. She sits perfectly still, her grip tight around her cane. Then she rises slowly. Without a word, she turns her back to him and begin to walk away. He calls out to her, one final time, almost desperate.)

Illario: "I used to curse myself for sparing you."

(It works. She stops abruptly mid-step, but doesn’t turn. He straightens slightly, his voice quieter but no less sharp.)

Illario: "I thought it the worst mistake of my life... but watching the empire you built collapse under its own weight? It’s satisfying. Very satisfying.” (He leans back.) "Even from in here."

Caterina: "Enjoy it while it lasts." (Without a glance back, she adjusts her grip on the cane and resumes walking)

Process / Notes (because apparently I can't stop tinkering): This Illario is probably more sympathetic toward Lucanis than the games version. Though, he is it in a very twisted way, I don’t know if that shows anymore since I cut these line:

Illario: "I don’t even regret sending him to the Ossuary."

Illario: (scoffs) "Even that prison was kinder to him than you." (He laughs bitterly) “The man has a damn demon inside him, and he’s still freer now than he ever was under you.”

Frequently Asked Questions:

Is Caterina behaving like enough of an asshole here? Is Illario snarky enough?

Should I have kept that Ossuary line just to make things spicier?

Is Lucanis tired somewhere off-screen, sensing this nonsense from afar?

I was working on editing a fic in Ao3 and highlighted a sentence fragment, and the Edge browser I use had the audacity to suggest using (what I presume was) AI to rewrite my sentence.

My reaction: <i>excuse me?!?</i> You're suggesting <i>I</i> use <i>AI</i> to <i>write my fic?!?</i> Are you aware of what I do for a hobby, what this site even is??? Do you know the pride I take in being able to say every word in my fics, the overused, the unnecessarily obscure, the purple prose that exists solely because I like writing it, is completely and wholly of my design? That the only influence on my writing shall be the <i>human</i> writers who came before me and the other galaxy-brained <i>human</i> fandom writers I know? There is NO PLACE for you here! BEGONE!!!

So yeah; I'll never use AI to write so much as a work email because my Writer Pride won't let me. 😁

ChatGPT Guide for Writers

Do: ask for help brainstorming

Don't: steal ideas exactly as they're given to you or without adding any input/original ideas of your own

Do: ask for writing tips

Don't: trust the bot 100%, or take its word without doing more research on your own

And ESPECIALLY don't: ask it to write something for you and then copy & paste/steal that writing as your own

I don't believe that we should avoid using AI at all costs, but I do think we have an ethical duty to use AI responsibly.

You can use it as a tool to learn. A tool to brainstorm ideas. A tool to enhance your own work.

But remember that AI learns off other people's input.

Do not steal.

An AI's work will never be unique without YOUR creativity mixed in

[glowing-disciple]

I had to spend a fair amount of my day waiting for things to happen, so I decided to play around with this AI story generator I found a few days ago. It’s pretty good for short scenes, but the output needs some serious work if you’re actually trying to make a story with it.

So yeah. Fun toy, but definitely not something I’d suggest using for anything more serious than some basic brainstorming.

Here’s some issues I noticed about its output…

Extremely conflict avoidant. It doesn’t matter what happens during the story, characters will inevitably become better friends and give each other second/third/infinity chances. It leaves you wishing the characters would get angry.

Enforced happy endings. Don’t try to make it write horror or anything more than fluff. It just keeps trying to make everyone in the story happy. Note that very short stories (eg, an excerpt from a mad scientist’s journal) do work as intended: it’s capable of creating conflict, but can’t resolve it.

Constant derailing. Once the output is longer than a few paragraphs, it constantly tries to end the story.

No pacing. In addition to trying to end the story the moment any actual conflict arises, it has an annoying tendency to rush things along. Forget slow burn romance - in these stories, the guy and gal meet and have kids by the third paragraph. The apocalypse begins and is thwarted within 300 words. Every single time.

Character details get forgotten regularly. There’s a surprisingly good chance that the AI will forget key details about the characters and then remember these details later on. For example, it might describe Spock’s red blood or Kirk’s blue uniform in one paragraph, and then remember that Kirk’s shirt and Spock’s blood are both green in another. It’s jarring every time it happens.

Hopefully this doesn’t remind any one of a recent tv show or movie they’ve seen.

AI for Content Creators: How Writing Tools Can Elevate Your Data Storytelling Game

Imagine this: You’ve spent weeks meticulously analyzing mountains of data. You’ve identified key trends and uncovered valuable insights. But then comes the villain — crafting a compelling story to communicate these findings to your team or stakeholders.

This is where many data analysis projects fall flat. The data might be rock-solid, but translating it into a clear, engaging narrative can be a daunting task. Thankfully, a new hero has emerged on the scene: AI writing tools.

The Peril of the Data Deluge

Here’s why data storytelling often struggles:

Time Constraints: Turning data into a story takes time you may not have.

Technical Hurdles: Writing captivating narratives and designing visuals isn’t everyone’s forte.

Engagement Woes: Keeping non-technical audiences hooked on complex information can be a challenge.

Enter the AI Writing Superhero

AI writing tools empower data analysts to overcome these villains with a range of superpowers:

Idea Generation: Stuck on an angle? AI can help brainstorm engaging story hooks and identify the most impactful insights.

Content Creation: Draft compelling introductions, body paragraphs, and conclusions, saving you valuable writing time.

Clarity Enhancement: Ensure your story is clear, concise, and tailored to your audience through AI-powered language suggestions.

Visualization Assistance: AI tools can recommend data visualization formats that best represent your findings.

The Data Storytelling Triumph

Let’s see how AI writing tools can lead your data story telling project to victory:

Efficiency Boost: AI streamlines content creation, allowing you to focus on analysis and refining your message.

Clarity Reigns Supreme: AI helps translate complex data into easily understood narratives, ensuring everyone gets on board.

Creativity Unleashed: AI can spark new ideas and suggest innovative ways to present your data, leading to a more impactful story.

Data-Driven Heroics: Backed by AI analysis, your stories are grounded in solid data, lending them credibility and authority.

It’s important to remember that AI writing tools are not a solo act. They work best when collaborating with your data analysis expertise. Here’s how:

Provide Context: Explain your data and desired message to AI, guiding it towards the best narrative path.

Refine and Edit: AI-generated content is a starting point, not the final product. Edit and personalize it to reflect your voice and style.

Focus on Strategy: While AI handles the heavy lifting, you can focus on the strategic aspects of your narrative — the key takeaways and desired audience action.

Embrace the AI Writing Hero

By harnessing the power of AI writing tools, you can transform your data analysis projects from villainous data dumps to captivating stories that drive action and results. Remember, AI is there to make you, the gap analysis, the ultimate data storytelling hero!

[chapple-ai]

AI content creation uses artificial intelligence to streamline content development. AI tools can brainstorm ideas, compose various types of content (articles, social media posts, and so on), and even create images. While artificial intelligence cannot completely replace human creativity, it can help save time and produce high-quality material on a large scale. Consider it a super-powered assistant that will help you complete tasks more quickly.

[ellipsus-writes]

Back when we started Ellipsus (it's been eighty-four years… or two, but it sure feels like forever), we encountered generative AI.

Immediately, we realized LLMs were the antithesis of creativity and community, and the threat they posed to genuine artistic expression and collaboration. (P.S.: we have a lot to say about it.)

Since then, writing tools—from big tech entities like Google Docs and Microsoft Word, to a host of smaller platforms and publishers—have rapidly integrated LLMs, looking to capitalize on the novelty of generative AI. Now, our tools are failing us, corrupted by data-scraping and hostile to users' consent and IP ownership.

The future of creative work requires a nuanced understanding of the challenges ahead, and a shared vision—writers for writers. We know we're stronger together. And in a rapidly changing world, we know that transparency is paramount.

So… some Ellipsus facts:

We will never include generative AI in Ellipsus.

We will never access your work without explicit consent, sell your data, or use your work for exploitative purposes.

We believe in the strength of creative communities and the stories they tell—and we want to foster a space in which writers can connect and tell their stories in freedom and safety—without compromise.

It is funny to think that the Tumblr as we know it was made by the Big Media to make depressed antisocial writers express their fealings in; in order for them to use this unfiltered thesaurus as duplo blocks for their soulless corporate content.

It is also funny to think that the day Tumblr was considered dead is aproximately when the idea of a neural network fed with works of popular creators in odder to spit out similarly structured echo of emotion that can be used as even less soulful of a structure block.
