A new chapter of my fic!

Genre: Romance/Action/Adventure/Political snakepit

Pairing: Dahlia Wintersnow (OC Dragonborn)/Ulfric Stormcloak

Rating: E (Smut, cannon-typical violence)

Warnings: Check them on AO3.

Snippet:

Edges of smooth silk kiss the cool granite floors of the Palace of the Kings, whispering softly as they barely sweep over their surface. Their melody is quiet and calm against the backdrop of the woman maneuvering the fabric.

Dahlia turns, painting another swath across the floors--her dress a brush of the brightest blues across dull grey. She has been pacing all morning in a nervous wavering of fine material and barely-contained panic spinning about the confines of her room.

Glancing over to the empty side of their bedroom, Dahlia sorely wishes that Ulfric had not left her alone. Almost absentmindedly, she passes a hand over her stomach as if that would settle the fluttering therein. At this point she isn't sure if it is her or the baby--or both. It is only them now, and she looks down to the swell of her stomach with a smile before looking up at herself in the mirror again.

Warm light flickers off the stones and shadows wax and wane over the planes of her face as it catches off the paint the handmaidens have strategically placed over her cheekbones and eyelids. While she insisted on something simple, instead she was folded into the image in front of her.

Barely-recognizable even to herself, she stands regally with her eyes haloed by a constellation of glimmering sparkle dusted onto her lids and her lips tinted with the bright red of snowberry juice. How is that her? Who is this person, and what does she want? The questions waver through her mind like the diaphanous threads of a spider's web.

No matter how many times she looks, she will still see the High Queen of Skyrim even if it is her face which looks back at her.

Strength and honor. She will do her best, but will it be enough? Will any of it ever be enough? She is thrown from one role to the next, drifting on the currents of time Akatosh lays out for her: Dahlia, the Dragonborn; the Stormcloak; and now the very soon-to-be High Queen.

Her hands tremble as she touches the silver filigreed claps of the new bear cloak placed around her shoulders.

It's going to have to be. She will do it for Skyrim. She will do it for Ulfric. And most importantly, she will do it for herself.

Dahlia sucks in a deep breath and pulls steel from the depths of her soul, arranging her uncertain features into something stronger--something forged with dragon fire and brimstone, with kindness and compassion. Something worthy of the High Queen of Skyrim.

Finally, she lifts the crown she had been gifted especially for this purpose--for this day and designed exactly for this moment atop her brow. Flawless sapphire and darkened moonstone glint back at her, and she turns once more, this time, striding with determination out of the door and into what inevitably comes next.

New Area: Zets'Ki Cradle

Here is the link: Zets'Ki Cradle Here is some info for you guys to hold you off until we get the wiki articles done on it!: Place: Highest Peak of the Zujiuchu Mountains Race: half-angels (Name is below) Race Name: Salji (Half-Angels) named by the first gods of the world for how fair their skin and hair was. They are graceful and unique like the snowflakes they were named after. Plural of Salji: Saljian, Saljis Name Meaning: Tower to the Heavens Weather: Snowy, Sometimes Blizzard conditions Linguistics: Georgian Lore Language Called: Saljiese Architecture: Art Nouveau - Dark Granite Buildings - Stained Glass. Art depicts their history as a race and their ancestors. – Art is done in both the stained glass and carved into large portions of important buildings like the palace and library. Leader Titles: King: Me’e Queen: Dedop’ali Food: Greenhouses + In Mountain herb gardens + Indoor farm like areas for animals Current Leader of Zets’Ki: (Dedop’ali) Ia Tsiuri – Family is part of the legendary Tsiuri family dating back to the most ancient times of Revaliir before history was recorded in books. Worship: Reverie, the original religion of Revaliir. The mother Celestial of the planet. This is a forgotten religion outside of Zets’Ki but to those who live in the Tower of Edhit in Abed. Major Buildings: Palace(needs name), Library, Reverie’s Cathedral Cathedral: Dedicated to Reverie the mother of the world. Even larger than the Palace to show their love for the mother Celestial. Carved out of only the most precious stone and detailed with only the rarest most perfect gemstones and other minerals. Think something like the pantheon in Greece. Ceilings: bewitched labradorite to illuminate the cathedral with the constellations of her daughters and sons Fountain: A malachite fountain with her standing there with a regal vase made of illuminated black opal and the water looks like stardust and glitters like the galaxy. Her hair is literally decorated with only the best saltwater pearls. The fabric of her dress is almost too real to be stone edged in gold to offset the green. Above her frolic her seven daughters carved into a dome roof that let bits of light shine in to help illuminate her in a heavenly form. The daughters are also carved from Malachite and suspended with powerful levitation magic from the origin. Carvings: The birth of the origin Tree, The birth of Verya and Voice, and depictions of the Stairway to the Skies from legend. – Throughout the temple illuminated by large labradorite lanterns in the form of teardrops suspended in air by levitation magic in a trickling effect. Each lantern has 4 teardrops and goes from largest to smallest illuminating like a trail of tears. –all carvings are edged in silver and gold to stand out in the light. Flooring: The floor is patterned from mandela creations using varying hues of black opal tile pieces. It glitters like the night sky as the constellation lights bounce off of it. The Origin: The main focal point of the entire Cathedral lies in the center. It is a large solid gemstone of pure Moonstone, though it is an odd color of blue with what appears to be a depiction of the night sky inside of it. This houses all of the magic that runs the Cathedral and no one knows the mysteries of what it is or where it came from. Legend says it was a gift from Reverie herself when she birthed the world. Onnen gave it to the people of Zets’Ki during the first World Order and has remained with them since. It cannot be removed, used by any mortal or god, and is too sacred for the Saljian to even try to study it even going so far as to stop scholars from the outside world. This is the most guarded place in all of Zets’Ki. Disturbing this place for anything other than prayer has resulted in executions before. Building itself: Walls are made from Azurite and Neptunite making it darker than of the granite buildings in Zets’Ki. Palace: Kristaluri Palace Library:Ts'odnis Adgili Town Attractions: Lighting: Tall silver lampposts with large shards of labradorite that shine brightly as the sun goes down. Roads: Crafted with fine dark marble bricks, kept clear of snow by street sweepers. Plants: Snowberries, Snowbelles(in the coldest parts of the city, Very rare (its one of our enchantments actually), Fir Trees, and deep rich blue flowers that only thrive in harsh winter climate.

Meet Snowberry Moonstone ^_^ I made her a couple of days ago and thought I’d share a picture :3

📅 Love Day

part one.

[sweetberryfresimias]

I’m getting so big, and I’m only in my second trimester! I have a month yet before it’s the third, so my doctor recommended healthier foods and more bedrest. I’m doing my classes online in preparation and asked for an extention on a few of my final projects and papers. 

The healthier food part didn’t stop me from making macaroni for lunch...

[sweetberryfresimias]

Today was so boring with Rhubarb at work and no class. My doctor said no more heavy lifting, so I couldn’t work on moving. I decided to just stay in bed and read for most of the day. I read most of Pride and Simjudice by Jane Austsim, and I really enjoyed it.

[sweetberryfresimias]

I’ve been craving brownies recently, so I asked Rhubarb to make me some. She definitely delivered! They were so good, and the chocolate was incredibly rich.

A Literary Twist Generation 1: Snowberry Moonstone

“You live alone on a quiet farm but you long for something more. Excitement and adventure, someplace over the rainbows. You’re an imaginative soul whose daydreams often create a whole new world into which you can escape. But one day you find yourself in a world full of color like you’ve never seen before. Is this a daydream or is it real? If it’s real you wonder how you’ll ever get home, and really, do you even want to?”

Snowberry Moonstone & Rhubarb Redwood

A Literary Twist Revival!

[sweetberryfresimias]

Moving day!

[sweetberryfresimias]

“Dear Rhubarb Redwood,”

What now? Should I mention the...no. Absolutely not.

“I heard you are back in Evergreen Harbor! I’m actually here too, for good. Well, until winter. Only a few more months! I was wondering if you’d like to meet up for a quick lunch at Hogan’s Eco Diner? It’d be great to catch up sometime. How would Wednesday at 1 p.m. sound? Love, Yours, Respectfully, Snowberry Moonstone.”

Eh. Could be better.

[sweetberryfresimias]

Rhubarb and I spoke for almost three hours while we ate. She caught me up on her life in Del Sol Valley and I told her about Foxberry University and my degree track. Then we...got a little flirty. I’m not usually the best at romance but I felt pretty good about our conversation, so maybe I have a chance. I did have the biggest crush on Rhu back in high school.
