I hadn't drawn anything in a long time, and I forgot how much I missed it - and how much I missed them.

Thank you for the tag @theoneandonlysemla! Going to tag @sheirukitriesfandom @juniperberries-canisroot @umbracirrus @vervayyn @snowy-weather let me know if you want me to tag you!

Topic: This week, Sujamma wants to know about YOUR OC's special someone. What makes their relationship special? How did they meet? Were they enemies to lovers? Lovers to enemies? Lovers AND Enemies? Are they romantic or platonic? What's their favorite way to cuddle? Favorite date night? Anything and everything you can think of 💕

Alright, ramble time. As you might know, I pair Wren (my Dragonborn) with Teldryn Sero (who I hc as the Nerevarine), and I will get to their relationship soon. BUT prior to her meeting Teldryn, she was in a serious relationship with Faendal until his death, which happened near the end of the Main Quest... which I may never get around to writing, but it will be touched upon in my main fic which takes place after canon events.

I haven't put much thought into Wren and Faendal's dynamic, mostly because I have no plans to write their life together. But my headcanon is that, like Wren, he has a history as a bandit - namely the poacher camp north of Whiterun. The two of them worked together briefly, Faendal went off to make an honest living at the Riverwood mill, while Wren literally whored it up in Windhelm for a while, did some mercenary work, then found out she was Dragonborn. They met up again as she was on her way to see the Greybeards, he had just been dumped by Camilla for Sven, and they hit it off. I can't go into too much detail because it's spoilers, but he was her first love, and she blames herself for his death, which made it hard for her to open up again.

Roughly half a year after defeating Alduin, Wren traveled to Solstheim to confront Miraak. She got wasted at the Retching Netch, accidentally hired their resident mercenary, then woke up to discover she had an unwanted tagalong. She loathed Teldryn at first, since he underestimated her abilities and doubted her claims as Dragonborn. But later, when Teldryn discovered that she truly was who she claimed to be, he gained immense respect for her. Being an ex-hero himself, he realized how important she was, and vowed that he would remain with her as her bodyguard, basically. That platonic respect grew into friendship, loyalty, and eventually something more.

At the point I am currently at in my fic, they're on the cusp of admitting their feelings to one another. They're ALMOST there. Wren is extremely closed off due to what happened in her past, and to Faendal, but is slowly breaking free of her shell and allowing herself to care for Teldryn. And Tel... he's just disgustingly in love with her and is afraid to admit it. He sees a lot of himself in her, as a fellow hero, and wants her to learn to enjoy her life despite being chewed up and spat out by prophecy.

(The kicker is at this point, he hasn't admitted to her that he's the Nerevarine. To Wren, he's just a merc. She will find out soon enough.)

Cuddles, you ask? Well, they're both dirty old bastards, and many of their cuddle sessions lead to sex. But they can absolutely be soft with one another. Teldryn has Big Protector Mentality and likes to be the big spoon, or invites her to lay on top of him. Wren likes to rest her head against his chest and listen to him breathe, and will often fall asleep like that.

Wren owns Honeyside and she loves her salmon, so for dates, she often suggests fishing or simply hanging out on the lakeshore, swapping old fight stories, and of course, EATING. Wandering the Rift woods and sparring with each other are always fun, too.
