at ZOS, designing the place: "How many spires do you want?" "Yes." 😄

[i-simp-for-fennorian]

I miss the Greymoor tutorial so much. I want to let him out of that sarcophagus and see that little fall. I want to get his flask for him so he can get better. I want to escape with him again. ☹️🖤

Why is Fennorian sitting on the ground tied up??? I turn my back to talk to Gwendis and next thing I know he's like this? Love, I don't think you're going to help us in that position.

Sliiiiiight spoilers for the Greymoor/Markarth DLC below the cut-

Btw can't believe Zos deprived us of a bite by Fenn with a "here's your blood flask or whatever lol"

[feykrorovaan]

You all know Darien is probably going to show up again at some point, correct? It's not just hope. ZoS has been sprinkling breadcrumbs (pun intended) since Summerset. They wouldn't do that for no reason or to tease us (unless they're somehow legitimately evil,which say what you want, but that isn't the case).

Spoilers galore for elder scrolls in general under the cut (Main plot, Wrothgar,Elsweyr,Greymoor,Summerset

Blackwood,High Isle, and Necrom.)

Just look at Coldharbor. What happened after we "lost" Darien. We found clues that he was still alive. Including a letter written by him in Wrothgar. So it only makes sense to me that they would do so again.

Darien and/or the events of Summerset have also been referenced in every.single.chapter since Summerset.

That, to my knowledge, hasn't happened with any other characters, especially not consecutively.

In Elsweyr, you can find a deceased khajiit, and nearby there is a note,describing how Meridia was looking for a new vessel that wouldn't betray her.

In Greymoor, Gabrielle Benele says she still believes that Darien is still out there somewhere and she is determined to find him. Not only that, but there is a Meridia quest where she has apparently turned her gaze from her faithful. Now Daedric princes' attention and favor can come and go, and I don't like Meridia, believe me, but she doesn't seem like the kind of prince that would turn her back if something bigger didn't have her attention.

In Blackwood, there is a random event when you talk to a wizard and he can summon a lost spirit. One of those spirits can be an Auroran Knight with Dawnbreaker in his hilt. It's not confirmed to be Darien. But...come on. It's him.

In High Isle, Lady Arabelle references his father specifically. Not Darien specifically, but there are other generals, and captains they could have referenced.They chose him because they knew our ears would perk up at the name "Gautier". His father had a pretty forgettable role,Darien,did not.

In Necrom, if you played through the Summerset plot, you can speak to Naryu about the events of Summerset.

I don't feel like they would talk about him (or the events of Summerset) this much if he wasn't coming back at some point or at least confirmed to be alive in some way. Not to mention whenever he's brought up in streams, they are pretty tight-lipped about him, and they've never specifically said he' won't return.

Summerset was a big event. So if we do see Darien again, it's going to be big.

Here’s something I whipped up this morning about Fenn and the Vestige meeting up again! It’s 1.2k and I don’t know if I’ll turn it into something longer on AO3 one day or not but I’ve been having trouble writing longer stories atm so I figured I’d post this here for now instead of hogging it to myself:

The city spread out below the Vestige. People selling their wares at the market. Children screaming and playing. It was nice. It was calm. They were leaning against one of the handrails that decorated the roads around them.

“The last time I saw you, you looked very different.” A soft voice said next to the Vestige.

Vestige spun on their heel, feeling as though their breath had caught in their throat. “Fennorian?” They asked with wide eyes. 

It was true. After the defeat of the Grey Host, when the Vestige and the Ravenwatch parted ways… Things had changed. Lyris and Sai Sahan said their goodbyes and the Vestige was left all alone again. 

They’d traveled for a while, got into some more trouble and then when things calmed down again they finally had time to get their hair fixed up. They’d replaced all of their busted armor and made sure to eat enough food now that they weren’t worried sick about the fate of the world every other minute. They’re sure their face had filled back out some.

Vestige blinked at the High Elf vampire. He smiled serenely at the Vestige. Figuring they should say something they said, “I hope that’s a compliment.” 

Fennorian’s smile stretched wider and he turned to look out at the city below them. “It was. You look… good.” He said hesitantly. Then he dragged his eyes back to the Vestige. “How have you been? I heard you ran into Gwendis in Belkarth a while ago.” 

Ah yes… that had been quite some time ago, hadn’t it? “I’m… I’m alright.” Vestige said avoiding his eyes. “It was a very quick conversation. She was busy and I was working through some stuff.” They tried to play off their shaky tone. 

Remembering that conversation with Gwendis always made the Vestige frown. The last Vestige had heard everyone was miserable from Verandis’s absence… but most of all Fennorian. 

“How are you?” They asked carefully turning to Fennorian. 

He seemed to catch on to the way the Vestige had tried to play off his question. But he said nothing of it. “I’m doing good. More than happy to cross paths with you, of course.” 

A pleased feeling warmed its way through Vestige’s chest, even as they tried to stop it. They probably shouldn’t get too get close to him again. It would just hurt when they went separate ways once more. Vestige had developed feelings for Fennorian during their time together fighting the Grey Host. And it had hurt when they separated.

“I missed you.�� The Vestige said. It came out much more venerable than they would have cared for, but there was no taking it back now. They weren’t even sure they wanted to take it back.

Fennorian blinked, something like mild surprise coloring his face. “I missed you too.” He took a step closer to them. “Have you been keeping busy?” 

Butterflies swarmed the Vestige’s stomach, wanting them to keep their mouth shut, begging them not to embarrass themselves. But the Vestige had a hard time taking orders, even from themself sometimes. 

“Yeah. Stopped a few bandits here and there… I went back to Markarth recently actually.” Vestige said, swallowing. Fennorian tilted his head in interest so the Vestige continued. “Like I said. I missed you… a lot. So I went back to the Stonekeep and sat outside until the guards got tired of me and kicked me out.” 

A beat of silence passed. Then another and another. Fennorian was so quiet, Vestige wondered if they had crossed a line. When they turned to look at him, Fennorian was studying them closely, his face carefully blank. 

What was he thinking? 

“If you missed me why did you go to the Reach?” He asked slowly, his lips curling up a bit in confusion. 

Vestige looked away again shrugging. “It’s the last place we saw each other. It just reminded me of you.” They twisted their fingers and hastily added, “and your sisters!” It didn’t sound convincing to the Vestige either. 

Fennorian leaned against the railing next to the Vestige. He was so close their arms were almost touching. “If you missed me that badly, you know you could have visited Ravenwatch Castle right?” There was something in his tone, like he was trying not to say something else entirely. Then he huffed and said, “Did… did we do something that made you not feel welcome?” 

Vestige thought back to the day in the Orrery. The way Gwendis and had screamed at the Vestige. The pain in Adusa’s eyes. The way Fennorian barely held himself together trying not to crumble. 

They couldn’t go back. They couldn’t save Verandis… and they couldn’t go back to the castle. It would have been a constant reminder to the Vestige that they couldn’t save him. And a reminder for the others that he was gone.

“No.” The Vestige said. They didn’t elaborate. 

Fennorian chanced letting their elbows brush. Vestige’s eyes flicked down to their arms. “Why didn’t you come see me then?” He asked. 

“I was afraid.” They shrugged. 

“You never have to be afraid to come see us.” Fennorian said.

Again they let the conversation taper off. After a few minutes of silence, only the sounds of the bustling city between them, Vestige wondered if he would leave. Then he would be gone and the Vestige would have to miss him all over again.

“What?” Fennorian asked sitting up a bit straighter. His eyes wandered the streets below in the direction the Vestige had been looking. “Did you see something?” 

Turning to Fennorian they raised an eyebrow. “What are you talking about?” 

Looking flustered Fennorian said, “Ah, I… heard your heart speed up. I hope you can excuse me, I try not to listen but-”

Vestige interrupted him with a short laugh. “I’m sorry. I’m not laughing at you, Fenn. I swear! I just- We’re a really good team aren’t we? Nothing could slip by us.” They watched their feet shuffling on the ground.

“I was just thinking…” they started hesitantly. They took a deep breath gathering their nerves. “How long are you in town for? I’ll be sad again if this interaction of ours is brief.” 

“Sad again?” Fennorian blinked. Another beat of silence passed and he said,“I’m chasing a vampire clan nearby. I expect I’ll be here for a few more days at least. Maybe longer.” 

Vestige curled their toes trying not to invite themself into his mission. “Is it a tough case?” They asked carefully. 

Fennorian hummed. “Not particularly. However, I was thinking of writing to the Ravenwatch and asking Adusa to meet up with me for the final infiltration of the lair.” He look at the Vestige purposefully. “But if you’re interested…” 

“Yes.” Vestige agreed instantly. 

The scholar leaned the rest of his arm against the Vestige’s. “I have to say, I’m glad you agreed so quickly. I wasn’t looking forward to interrupting Adusa. And the two of us spending some more time together would be quite enjoyable.” 

Vestige tried not to blush but they knew they were failing when Fennorian’s breath caught in his throat. “Sounds like a plan.” They leaned a little into where their arms touched.

It was nice, having this to look forward to. Being able to work with Fennorian again might breathe more purpose into their work. The Vestige had been bored without him. Taking easy jobs here and there. Not resting, never resting, but they certainly weren’t taking on jobs as hard as the Grey Host anymore. 

“Well then. Shall we get to work?”

Greymoor in a nutshell

Lytta: You guys were never disciplined with a knife? Fennorian and Lyris: *staring at her in horror* Lytta: Lytta: I'm gonna summon my dad, he has some explaining to do.

[kynes-breath]

Love the end of Fenns smolder scroll lol

You think KISSING him is fun? Just wait til you hear his "TORTURED SOBBING". Who wants gentle flirting and pining and a super sweet confession when you can watch your best friend get STABBED and then later KIDNAPPED AND TORTURED.

Anyways, todays dungeon pledge for undaunted is unhallowed grave so if anyone on PC NA wants to visit Fenn with me today, let me know :)

This year, Tomato surprised me with a piece (posted here with permission) featuring Fennorian and Dot after seeing a screenshot I posted of different Dot/NPC height comparisons. Tomato doesn't have a Tumblr (yet) but you can find Tomato on Twitter. I'm sure my bipolar disorder will get the better of me eventually, but surprises like this made 2022 a helluva lot brighter than it might have been otherwise. EDITED TO ADD: Tomato is now on Tumblr!!!

[i-simp-for-fennorian]

Back off, Lyris. Look at him.

He's mostly harmless.
