@affectum || varen & ronan

the woods are quiet in that particular way dreams are. there is no sound, but there is a strange sort of static that runs through the air. you can't see her, but you know she can hear you. she is in the trees, the sky, on the very earth you stand on. her eyes burning into your skin. it's funny sort of prickling. like tiny needles gently kissing every inch of you. there was once a time when you longed for the feeling. those days, the sensation meant you were home. the only place where you could take a breath without wishing it was your last. something's different now, though. as you realize you are more a tool than an equal. stupid and unbelievably naive, really think you would ever be equal to a goddess. that she would ever want you to rule over the ashes of the world you helped to destroy by her side. how you wanted to believe her. how you the thought that you may for once be the one on top made the blood rush through your veins. you're sitting by a river, there's never been a river before, you've never been particularly fond of bodies of water. aesthetically, yes. but in practice they just make things muddy and difficult. it feels like a river kind of night, though. and you don't know whether something feels different because you yearn for change, or because there's something profoundly wrong with the dream tonight. but you know that she is not here and that's all you need. you are blessedly alone for once. not even the nocs, ghastly little demons they are, have come to disturb you yet. you're busy building a little rose patch at your feet when you hear it. footsteps. heavy and loud and nothing like that of the creatures that live in this forest or their mistress. you're up in a blink, squinting through the trees without making a sound. in your hand there is now a sturdy axe, strong enough to cut a grown man in half yet light as air. you're so startled by the sight you almost drop the axe and chop off your own goddamn foot. he's taller than you, which is saying something. he's also twice your size and you have no doubt that if it weren't for the weapon in your hand, he'd have no trouble folding you in half in about five to ten seconds. your eyes meet his and there's something almost electric. that's when you realize he is not one of hers. whoever this is, it's not a dream. real? since when has anyone real entered this realm since you became its prisoner? you suppose you were real once too, and so was edgar. maybe she got tired of the delays and the excuses and found another lost soul to do her bidding. cruel of her to bring him here while you're still trapped. she could give you back your life. do you really want it back, varen? you hear her voice in your head, silky and ravenous at once. she's still trying to draw you near even as she replaces you. and sweet god, you want her. you want her so badly it feels like it might consume you from the inside out. "you're a new one" you manage between gasps of air. you don't dare move. "what did she tell you? did she promise the life you always dreamed of? power beyond your wildest dreams? she's a liar, you know! nothing but an illusion."

[shadysidcrs]

it was a rough night. it seems like every time you go to her it gets harder and harder to come back. like she's taking part of you every time she touches you. how can this be the real world when you feel see through? when your feet don't touch the ground and your head is not in the right place?

you're scanning the pages in front of you, looking for anything that might provide an answer. an answer that's not don't make a deal with a demon, you idiot. too late for that, no one tells you what to do when the deal is done and you're too stupid to figure out how to actually do your part.

it takes you a while to notice the girl. there's a small smirk when your eyes meet. of course it would be another weirdo spending the day in the library and you find comfort in the fact that somehow the strange ones always seem to find each other, even on a surface level.

it's entirely by accident that your hands touch. a rustle of wind where there should be none comes with the contact. her head falls back with an entirely blank expression on her face and you hesitate. you get close, ready to catch her if necessary, but you hesitate to touch her.

danger, whispers the wind, but you wave the warning away.

she looks directly at you when she comes back and you feel the full force of her dark eyes. she knows, the wind says. but she can't know.

you have to stop.

the tone is mocking now as the whispers come back, she knows. it takes you a moment to force your expression to the same blankness she had just seconds ago, but you blink slowly at her trying to give nothing away.

once you're sure she's not going to collapse you step back to pick up the victim of whatever just happened between you two. you dust the book off before offering it to her and trying to steer the conversation away from a dangerous truth.

"you know, just because i'm dressed like this and enjoy horror lit doesn't mean i go around killing people... do you?"

the  dark  clouds  looming  overhead  are  accentuated  by  rumbling  thunder  in  the  distance,  promising  an  inevitable  downpour;  it’s  a  beautiful  day.  idyllic  to  an  afternoon  spent  indoors  among  old  books,  dusty  shelves,  and  the  uncomfortable  sort  of  quiet  that  comes  with  every  public  library.

but  someone  else  lingers  in  the  horror  section.  typically  this  would  not  be  unforgivable  in  itself,  more  of  a  minor  aggravation  you  could  discard  in  favor  of  more  important  concentrations  for  the  day,  but  they  are  noticeable  in  a  way  that  raises  the  hair  on  the  back  of  your  neck.  and  not  in  the  delightfully  unpleasant  manner  you’re  used  to,  such  as  electrocution  or  paranoia,  but  something  altogether  less…  familiar.  they’re  all  black  clothes  and  sharp  bone  structure  and  dark  circles  beneath  their  eyes  that  remind  you  of  the  half-dead,  the  exhausted,  the  hungry.  you’re  not  used  to  people  who  make  you  stare,  so  you  do  your  best  to  focus  on  the  books  in  front  of  you.

then  something  gruesome  happens:  your  hands  touch  as  you  reach  for  the  same  book.

edgar  allan  poe  hits  the  floor  with  a  dull  thud  as  you  inhale  sharply,  visions  clouding  your  mind,  obscuring  your  senses.  by  the  time  you  come  to  again,  @shadysidcrs​  is  closer,  watching  you  with  wariness  you  can  respect.

“  you  have  to  stop,  ”  you  tell  them,  resentment  slipping  into  your  tone  as  you  once  again  find  yourself  the  reluctant  hero.  “  if  you  continue  traveling  down  the  road  you  are  now,  you  will  only  bring  destruction  back  with  you.  you’ll  be  hurting  more  than  just  yourself.  i  won’t  allow  it.  ”

How far have you gotten in Mass Effect 2? Also have you gotten any other pets or just your fish?

I'm doing Legion's loyalty mission, and then I will go to the omega 4 mass relay. I've done all other loyalties

Just fish for now, I did get Kelly to feed them tho, the scene was very disappointing.

I got the varen to follow me on Tuchanka after I fed him some meat but he never on ship.

Oh and a space hamster! Is he the reference to Boo and Baldur's Gate? Foshkdjsw I loved Kelly's comment about him and the cute little squeek he does when you interact with his box.

I did the admiral Hackett arrival mission by accident because I didn't realise it was the one- I was underleveled with like two snipers and 5 upgrades but eh I managed.

I have several n7 assignments left but I read that I should do them after the game ends.

I'm thinking of ng+ but apparently doing that disconnects your ME1 import or something and your choices get ereased? Or is that just a rumour, Idk.

I think imma go with Thane's romance, the siha was the final nail in the coffin that sealed by fate. I'm very disappointed by how surface level they made Jacob when he has so much potential, his loyality mission was the third on the list of the most horrifically and emotionally scarring ones to do and yet we get very little in the aftermath or from Jacob himself during it.

The overlord takes the first spot no doubt, my god.

It just felt unfullfilling and like Shepard is the one gunning for a relationship when Jacob doesn't want it, only something casual and that's after a lot of time convincing him. I miss how Kaidan or Ashley would flirt with you by themselves without having to initiate it and you can reject them or encourage them.

Here I think they did this for the player's comfort, like in that Halsin scene where he asks if you're sure multiple times. But that was bear sex! We're talking about normal smooching here or holding hands.

Instead, it butchered the romance, and it feels like Shepard is making them uncomfortable and insisting on a relationship, pressuring subordinates at that too.

Maybe it's different with maleShepard? Maybe other romances would've been different. But Garrus and Jacob fully felt like they would rather be at another room. Garrus himself says he doesn't have a fetish for humans but will try for us. That's after he tells us to go sleep with another human instead since it's closer to home.

With Garrus, I don't want someone to fix it. I don't want a rapid dog to pull the leash of every time he wants to bite. It feels like I'm just here to make sure he doesn't murder others, he seems more emotionally immature than before. Hesitant and lost, I don't want to be the one to figure who he is for him, he should do that himself.

Thane so far feels the most romantically available funny enough despite how much he simps for his dead wife. There are still some few throw away lines flirting with Shep that are subtle enough to miss.

Calling you "siha" an angel, one of the messenger of his gods, a protective angel that helps and aids people. Before you two have any commited relationship.

Describing how he remembers everything in great details even the smallest kiss and lets the comment be, if you say it made you uncomfortable then he apologises.

And he loves his son, that's always the biggest green flag. While Jacob buries his emotion and is defensive when talking about his father, meanwhile Garrus changed so much, where did my polite kind turian go?

It also fits, he still loves his wife, my Shepard still loves Kaidan, and he doesn't have much time left to live. I see Shepard and him finding solace in each other's arms before one has to eventually leave. Shepard comforts him during his last years of life while he helps them mend their freshly broken heart. A win win. A mutual agreement.

The good cop bad cop roleplay also was the closest thing to playful I have ever encountered in a loyalty mission.

I tried flirting with Samara, man that stung.

Liara came to my room but didn't make a move?

Pov: You're Liara seconds after blueballing my Shepard and actually only coming over for wine.

I hate my romance options. I liked Tali's mission tho it was super fun and I don't get a lot of chances to yell and play the loudest human in the room.

Anderson betrayed us and knew about Horizon, you can go to confront him and say how he was your only friend left. He doesn't apologise and says it was a necessary risk, that made me lose respect for him a bit. Shepard does not have a single soul on their side in this lifetime.

I did some DLC by accident? That's kinda why I wanna restart with ng+ and do everything in the recommended order. Plus, the widow sniper is amazing, and I don't wanna part with it just yet :(

I liked taking Legion everywhere, but it's already end game. I had put off recruiting him because I didn't know the FF mission was his, I thought it was the last mission before the endgame missions, so I must do it last.

He looks so...ominous in every screenshot, like it's taken moments away before disaster. Ik it's just his headlights but man he looks ready to jump me. It made me realise how scary the Geth can be when you're not viewing them from a sniper's lens behind a crate miles away.

I thought the last empty space was for Liara but she left.

The game is 10/10, steps on your heart a lot and more angsty than the first game, Also everything is so expensive and I am so broke. The Alliance used to pay me per fucking kill, Cerberus are so stingy.

Gonna either start with a ng+, re-import my ME1 character or just move on to ME3.

[solastier]

rant and ramble blog for original sci - fi series. main blog is tizaara.

rather than operate using a letter abbreviation year - marker similar to us (re; BC / AD), all three chronicles utilize a symbols system to determine timelines and their separation via events. the paragon’s markers are : and ; — noting before and after star - fall, the cataclysmic event that takes place several centuries after the events of the drakkar and solastyr chronicles (paragon itself occurring 477;, or 477 years after star - fall).

STORYLINES.

THE DRAKKAR CHRONICLES. ( 394: - 384: )

follows 13 year old drakkar twins, aeris and kalei, as their galaxy is devastated by war. after a few years of luck, being untouched by the building war, their home of saocarro is razed by the alien species known as the naengi, and as they lose everything that they know — including each other — they must adapt to their circumstances and fight (whether they want to or not). while aeris grows and does everything she can to eliminate the naengi threat and reclaim the galaxy, kalei, seemingly a casualty of battle, learns more from the threat on the inside.

THE SOLASTYR CHRONICLES. ( 392: - 384: - 377: )

initially a light - hearted series following the child - hood adventures of a young group of solastyr — samea, kahevika, raka, jasec, kyirr, covis, gavi, and vora — in a galaxy not yet touched by the naengi, though aware of their neighbors plights. by the time of 384: when the war has ended, the group is all grown up and situating themselves in their new roles. the quiet is short lived, and they are given little time to adjust; a new wave of primevals begins to emerge, and it is their responsibility to find the source and deal with it, for the safety of not just their galaxy, but universe. many are lost in the fight, and high tensions strain the dynamics of the group heavily.

THE PARAGON CHRONICLES. ( 477; - ? )

477 years after the events of star - fall — a catastrophic event that shook the entire known universe. 12 year olds zenari cyama and varen tyekore meet on the cold desert planet of teshvatan, becoming fast friends under perilous circumstances. as events progress and new knowledge unfolds in front of them, they begin to wonder if their meeting was chance or fate. whatever the case may be, there’s no doubt that they’re in it for the long - haul, especially when they find that they may very well be the first solastyrs in nearly a millennia.

SOLASTYR.

the term solastyr is a catch - all term to refer to individuals who are capable of interacting with and utilizing nkwa — a word whose direct translation (origin itself unknown) has long since been lost, though is believed to loosely mean ‘ the life - blood of the universe ’. these individuals could be capable of immense and impossible power, displaying abilities and feats that often earned them descriptors of gods / demi - gods.

when solastyrs first formed a community and rooted themselves in galactic history is unclear. legends revolving around the solastyr have been spoken for millennia, and there are a thousand different titles for these individuals that have been buried and lost to the sands of time. before star - fall, many solastyr held diplomatic and similar positions, and even more had the opportunity to pursue them, though in the vast majority of cases, they remained concerned and true to their personal goals.

the solastyrs are intrinsically bound to entities known as primevals. these are creatures composed of raw nkwa, whose only recorded impact on the universe has been chaos. they are akin to gods, and are gods that the solastyr, at some point, tasked themselves with hunting down, in defense of all innocent life. even the weakest of primevals could require several adept solastyr to kill it.

it is discovered by the solastyr kahevika kaadis in 382: (382 years prior to star - fall) that all primevals were solastyrs that had been consumed by nkwa — which was a curse that every solastyr ran the risk of bearing, and which he would later personally experience and fall victim to. unfortunately, he would take this knowledge to his grave, though his best friend samea luskarsa would eventually realize the connection.

after the events of star - fall, which resulted in a catastrophic purge, solastyr numbers thinned considerably, and they were left scattered, isolated, and untrained. varen tyekore and zenari cyama became the first recorded solastyrs in over 400 years after star - fall.

varen had skipped the celebration for the most part. they were not interested in dancing or tarot readings or matchmaking. if love was in the air, varen was not breathing. he knew it was stupid, to give his heart to someone who only existed in dreams, but no one knew better than he the way dreams had sometimes to follow you into reality. never the good ones, though. still, when he thought of love, he thought of eyes so blue they made the sky and ocean look like pale shadows.

 but that scream had been such stuff as nightmares are made on, and they had not been able to shake the cold that had seeped into their bones. a body. someone had died on what was supposed to be a happy night for all. they couldn’t imagine what it must’ve been like to find it, but they had felt the very real terror in that scream. 

varen trusted rhiannon more that he’d ever trusted anyone. back in trenton, bruce had been the closest thing varen had to a father figure. a kind old man who’d hated him at first, haunted by his own ghosts, but who had seen a boy in need of kindness and had, in the end, offered it to him. and for the past few years varen had grown to think of rhiannon as the closest thing he had to a family. he couldn’t remember what having a mother was like, but maybe it was a bit like this.

they knew how dangerous she could be, that whatever the residents of sallow hills may be, rhiannon could potentially be much worse. not to him, or nana. but he’d seen what she would do for something as simple as a client disrespeting either of them. 

he brought the mug up to his lips, feeling as calm around her as he never did around anyone else, took a sip of tea before raising his eyes to meet hers.

“i didn’t know so many things could be done to a body and it could still be recognizable as human,” they said, leaning back in their seat. “you don’t know what happened, do you? i mean...  is there any chance it could be anyone you know?”

star trek the savage trade was. so much. there were implications. there were friendships. there were ten thousand unfulfilled ideas. it was not well written but it WAS a ten course meal of food for thought

the most interesting part of this book was the complexity between spock and valek which was completely disregarded even though it arguably had the most interesting stuff going on. for example; when they meet up again after over ten years

varen is her twin brother, which we’ll get to. but here she’s pretty rude towards spock, despite later telling kirk that she felt bad for bullying him/formally arguing against his existence when they were kids. which. okay. only to LATER find out she’s been amongst humans for over ten years. she even starts this little romantic thing with kirk like this

she does stuff like this multiple times. kirk as the narrator even frequently mentions how ‘un-vulcan’ her actions are

i thought it might have been heading in a direction where she also felt like her emotions were getting the better of her as a kid, maybe making her feel like spock was better than her even being half vulcan, but no. it was just about her going along with every other vulcan’s prejudice towards him. then there was this whole thing where she came to take back her opinions because she respected sarek and amanda so much, and of course once spock grew up and proved himself’ she respected him too. but like. there’s so much there. the main point made here regarding all this was that vulcans underestimated spock because obviously spock is great but he couldn’t earn respect until he proved himself in his profession. until then though it was public debate over his existence. imagine your classmate getting up and arguing you shouldn’t be alive. and the only person who’s disagreeing with her is her brother. WHICH.

next point: spock ‘when i feel friendship for you i feel ashamed’ has longtime childhood friends he still keeps in contact with? obsessed. what’s this? you’re not going to include him in the narrative? bro. varen is apparently spock’s only friend from way back and this isn’t even talked about. it’s basically just the reason why valek was angry with spock as kids but she already didn’t like him so it wasn’t like her brother and spock being friends was a catalyst. what i’m getting at is that this author put SO MANY interesting things in the story and then just didn’t use them. ACTUALLY GOING OFF THAT

obsessed when novels mention sybok. this one’s especially interesting as according to her, sybok was seen as better than spock. in the final frontier novel it went that sybok felt like an outcast already, and was noticeably more emotional than other vulcans. spock, who assimilated and became as vulcan as possible to offset being half human, was still seen as less? insanity. i just feel like there’s so much going on here talking about spock’s childhood and then when you read the end of the savage trade spock’s just chillin with ben franklin absolutely uncaring (which good for him. if i met a childhood bully who was now everything she bullied ME for? i would be ruthless. spock elects to lose to benny frank in chess multiple times so he’s above all that)

anyways there was so much the author could have done with valek because she was really really interesting but her and spock almost never interact and it ends up falling pretty flat. LOST OPPORTUNITIES, like pretty much every star trek book in existence

ok one final thing the spock and varen being vulcan lab partners thing was really cute

[ellaofoakhill]

Favourite Tropes Tag Game

Tell me your favourite tropes, and if/where you use them in your own work! You can categorize them like I do, or just do whatever! I’ll go first!

FAVOURITE BIG DRAMATIC FIGHT TROPE

The bad guy finds out the only reason (s)he was holding his own against the hero/mentor/good guy was because they were holding back (the more he/she was holding back, the better this is).

Ella, vs. Varen

FAVOURITE BACKSTORY REVEAL TROPE

There was never anything special about the hero. No noble/royal heritage. No prophecy. Nothing at all to indicate they were chosen by some higher power to fulfill some mythic destiny. They just had enough and decided to do something about it. And they did that something really, really well.

Meline, and also Ella (more on that in hwhs)

FAVOURITE PARENT/PARENTING/CHILD INTERACTION TROPE

Character with little/no experience with kids, who’s super nervous around them, and basically lets children use him/her/them as a jungle gym because said character would feel like absolute dogshit if any one of these little urchins got hurt. Bonus points if this character will throw hands with anyone who so much as LOOKS at a kid the wrong way.

FAVOURITE ROMANCE TROPE

That one character who has some physical trait they consider a flaw (scar, birthmark, freckles, prosthetic, etc.), and are some degree of self-conscious about; their love interest, upon realizing this, gently takes the “offending” trait in their hands and kisses it, saying something to the effect of “This is a part of you; how can it be anything but beautiful?”

FAVOURITE CHARACTER ARCHETYPE

Mentor. Bonus points if a) they do their best by their mentee (this doesn’t mean they don’t make mistakes, or that bad things don’t happen to said mentee, but that they’re doing their best to prevent said), b) they have their own character arc which does not directly tie in with their student’s, and c) they don’t die by the end of the story.

Technically Ella ticks all of these boxes; didn’t realize until well into the story how rare it is for a mentor to also be a protagonist.

I tag @pixelw0rds, @valpur, @latenight-stories, @pluttskutt, @jezifster, @writingamongther0ses, and anyone else who wants to participate!

I decided to do a mash up with the Melody x Soven (who are typically on Atlantis) and Varen x Sandra (our favorite rogue criminal romulan and security officer/detective who live on a space station sorta like ds9)

So the Atlantis crew docked at the station for maintenance repairs and it’s right before Halloween. Soven was waiting for Melody to get out of a debriefing and had decided to save them a table in one of the station’s restaurants. (Soven like most people especially like all Vulcan’s is weary of the Romulan Varen on board). Varen saw Soven sitting alone and decided to entertain himself by messing with the vulcan.

“Jolan tru, Soven” Varren said as he slipped into the empty chair that was being saved for Melody

“Greetings…” Soven was suppressing a cocktail of emotions right now; the urge to jump startled at the appearance of a romulan, distrust and skepticism at the sight of the stranger sitting down, he was caught between wanting to flee and the growing anger at the audacity of this stranger taking a seat specially saved for Melody. Soven took care in grabbing the last available booth by the window knowing Melody would love to look out at the array of colors the nearby nebula provided.

“Varen.” The Romulun finished introducing himself.

“Indeed” Soven said simply glancing around to see if there was anyway to get the stranger to leave

“So getting down to business, I know you spend a lot of time around that human lady friend of yours and was wondering if you would be so kind as to indulge me in a conversation about a certain upcoming human holiday.” Varen intertwined his fingers together on the table in a ‘let’s get down to business’ fashion.

“I do not think I will.” Soven answered flatly almost in a manner of fact way.

“Ah-but is it not logical to share common knowledge with a curious stranger especially if it could help prevent a cross cultural misunderstanding during the holidays.” The Romulan was smirking now and Soven knowing he had been backed into a corner stayed silent.

“Now here is my question I believe the phrase is Trick or Yeet?” Varen stated putting an innocent smile on his face

“Yeet?” Soven was confused

“Sure” Varen snatched and threw Sovens menu.

“MMFT” Soven let out a disgruntled noise and made the mistake of letting his guard down to lean over in his chair and grab the menu. That’s when Varen struck grabbing Soven’s wallet and running.

The space station’s security officer had seen Varen saunter up to Soven’s table and decided to keep an eye on the Romulan. When Varen tried to exit the restaurant he was tackled by Sandra who took the wallet from his hands and held Varen by his ear dragged him over to the shell shocked Vulcan.

“Here is your wallet sir, it won’t happen again. RIGHT VAREN?” Sandra gave Soven his wallet and spoke to him kindly before turning back to Varen and lightly tugging on his ear forcing an apology out of him.

“I’m sorry…that Vulcans are so gullible-“

“VAREN” Sandra snapped like a disappointed mother

“Alright-ALRIGHT IM SORRY SHEESH”

“Aaaand that is five more months on your parole” Sandra shook her head before muttering something about paperwork and then took her leave dragging Varen to the security office with her.

Soven just gripped his wallet to him and had his eyes glued on the romulan criminal until he was out of sight.

“Hiya Soven whatcha lookin at?”

Soven nearly jumped out of his skin, he was so distracted he didn’t notice Melody had walked up-

(The end 😂 I hope you find this as funny as I did)

PFFF I love this! 😂😂😂 I’m cackling. Varen and Sandra are just *chef’s kiss* And Soven and Varen’s interactions are wonderful. I’m dying, this is amazing. You are brilliant, Azora!

I absolutely adore all the worldbuilding that's gone into long way home and I'm looking forward to how the story unfolds from here 💜💜💜 love the way reader interacts with the baby dragons. thank you for sharing with us!

I’m glad reader is with them even if she is kinda floundering lol it’s a little bittersweet that they are all bonded the way she might’ve been bonded to a dragon had she actually grown up in varene :< and thank you for reading it!! I really am grateful!!

"I haven't been dead for long. My first, uh, "deathiversary" was on 5th of May. Deathiversary - it's just the way I call the anniversary of my Embrace, it's a little bit lighter than "the day I was murdered and resurrected as a sentient corpse", isn't it?

The man I'm seeing, he's one of those Blood Mages. Clan Tremere, if you've heard of them. He wanted to show me a blood magic trick once, and uh, well, it went awry. Put me on the edge. I had that thing we Toreador get sometimes, a complete tunnel vision directed at him, it's quite dangerous. But he stuck with me, drove me to his place where I could let it pass safely, and then I stood for the night. The rest is history. Well, I also told him I'd kill him if he ever fucked with my vitae again, but that's beside the point.

I’m very new, but since I was Embraced, a lot has happened to me. I feel like a whole different person. It started out with me thinking this whole vamp thing was cool, having so much power, feeling invincible. But then, the reality hit. I woke up one night, looked in the mirror, and saw it - my eyes, they looked like cat's. Dagger pupils and all. The Beast's manifestation, or however it's called. Sunglasses in the middle of the night became a necessity, I can’t feel as well as I used to, humans are harder to interact with, and relationships are harder to maintain. Simply caring is a lot of work, you know? It seems too much, sometimes."

If he can see now will Varen return his blog? Can you as him?

I am highly dubious of Varen coming back. He hasn’t left his blog because of lack of sight, but because the people interacting with him were… absolutely rancid and awful at their best.

“Could you as him?” What is that sentence even supposed to mean? Could I pose as him? That’s a treason, to impersonate the Emperor.

24th of Hearthfire, Loredas

We got to the Harborage and shared our success with Varen. He was both pleased, and urges us to get a rest.

I offered everyone a place to stay at my home in Davon’s Watch. Lyris and Sai Sahan both said they preferred to remain with the Prophet. Tel and Er-Jaseen agreed. Tharn told me he was accepting, but that he had things to discuss with the others beforehand and that we should head on back without him.

We got into town and I had the blacksmith see to Tel and Er-Jaseen’s armor to be delivered to the house by the morning. Then I sent word for preparations to be made for the evening’s meal before we all split up to take care of errands.

I gathered the ingredients needed to make more potions for our next task, particularly those for invisibility potions. We should all probably discuss how to proceed when under invisibility, but remaining hidden may again be vital.

I got back before the others and made sure that rooms were properly prepared, the right bottles were brought up from the cellar, and that the courses were all appropriate.

Tel and Er-Jaseen came back before dusk and we set to some light fare while we sipped sujamma and talked. Then it was suggested we engage in the friendly competition of strategy games. Everyone was beginning to relax and I was about to suggest that we adjourn to my room for some private fun and games when Tharn returned.

He was eager to showoff his superior understanding of strategy and hungrily set into brutal tactics in every game we played. Even those with a somewhat cooperative component. In the end we were called to the meal. I made sure to have the best imported wine and brandy from Cyrodiil available for Tharn to choose from. I made sure many of the dishes were appropriate for an Imperial feast. And I was glad to see that the complaints were to a minimal.

After dinner, and the polite period of conversation had passed, I excused myself to some personal business. I worked on potions again until I could hear people excusing themselves to their chambers.

I got myself dressed in full womanly kit, complete with shape wear and added padding and tucking my manhood back. Then I went to Tharn’s room and invited him to follow me. There is a hidden room that I have converted into a place for private and intimate interactions. It is not as extravagant as the one I have back at home, nor as well equipped, but it has many things that one may desire to utilize. And I could feel the excitement in the air as Tharn took in all that was at his disposal.

He quickly dove into it and he let me see some more of his secret proclivities. More humiliation, bondage, spanking, choking, flogging, paddling, whipping, and finally he asked me to struggle below him and act as though I was not interested in everything that I was in for. Of course I obeyed. How could I not enjoy it? By the end he did not last long and was clearly quite tired out. Not that it meant I was allowed to find a release myself.

So I slipped into bed besides Tel, who was slumbering peacefully. They were not at all keen on engaging with me. They were in rather a bad mood when I woke them, demanding that I say what I was doing and when I explained that I was busy with private diplomatic business, they said I should have told them.

Having gotten the message loud and clear, I left and went to Er-Jaseen’s room. It took a quick flattering explanation of my intent for him to show he was interested. He was a little bit stand-offish until I assured him that I was not interested in a relationship, just some fun. Then he was rather enthusiastic about the whole thing and I could finally find my completion.

I am hoping that I will have better luck with Tel once they finish their morning exercises. Or at least find out why they were so very cross last night.

more on morgane cos im hyperfixating

the vestige is probably immortal, even with their soul back. SO. she’d 100% keep exploring and dropping in during the games set after eso (most of them lol).

makes jokes about being an ageless unknowable being when she’s only like 104. she’ll get there 1 day tho..

makes the harborage her home (the one near davons watch). cleans it up a lot, finds new space she hadn’t before. also makes it harder to find, making the outside blend in more. cadwell has his own little area he can visit. lyris and sai are always welcome to come visit again :]

she died when she was 23 so she’s sorta stuck like that. bit grumpy about it ‘cause everyone she admires is at least in their 30s and she wants to look like them.

never really uses potions or poisons, but knows a fair bit about them thanks to her mothers.

in my head she has zero affiliation or interest in any alliance. beyond bleakrock, she never interacted with any of them too much and stayed neutral. she doesn’t get any of it lol.

since her bear guardian and pet frost senche are both magic, they’re also immortal and her permanent companions. she’s rarely seen without them.

spends most of her time in morrowind, high rock, black marsh and skyrim.

really not a patient person. she TRIES so hard to be tho but if she’s not doing something she wants to do she just :/ gets very frustrated

she wouldn’t mind being a werewolf but would miss being able to just chill looking at the moons and also would only want to turn into a little fluffy dog. so rip.

the aesthetic is cool though!

very disney princess with animals really.

brags a lot about beating up a daedric prince. also had literally no hesitation when it came to who to sacrifice she practically yeeted varen herself.

Could you tell me a little of your interpretation of Pulasia? I'm curious. I like unknown characters ^_^

Oh gosh, I don’t even know where to start! And I got to laugh, because ‘interpretation’ sounds like there is any canon at all, rather than me just pulling this straight out of my ass.

Fundamentally, you have to understand that I basically write Abnur as a Smart Person Who Does A Lot Of Dumb Things (TM) in between being shrewd as a skeever at Imperial court politics and both of them being at the peak of the cursus honorum. And, secondly, that I have an enormous boner for Rome and Roman society & politics, which I paint as the guiding background noise to their lives because imo the Empire, and especiallly the Cyrodiilic Empire, is just (Republic) Rome by another name. And, last but not least: people hating their spouses is boring and out and most of the time painfully misogynist, and disaster couples enjoying themselves are in.

And with that, I will present you some fics that you might like to read where she shows up in - and if you have more (specific) questions, you know where to find me. I am sitting on an iceberg of headcanon but it’s so sprawling I have no idea where to start describing it. Most of it is under the proverbial water, too.

Imperial Missives - Set some weeks before Varen makes his move on the Ruby Throne, it is actually about my OC Ramira and how she happens to know Abnur. There is a brief interaction with Pulasia, which is nonetheless important

Mania - Quite probably the most important one as Abnur and her actually interact in this one, and it is better read before Balmora Blue

Balmore Blue - The complete bullshit idiotball moment that led to Abnur meeting Ramira. Pulasia was concerned for a little bit there but when he woke and seemed fine, it was time to mercilessly tease him with his own stupid again

Clandestine Homicide - The mages in a private setting for five entire seconds before I throw the plot device at them

So uh, yea! I love Pulasia and I would die for her. And so would Abnur. After which she’s going to drag his stupid ass back from Oblivion. Life be like that some times
