Summary
Just a collection of random events within the Crystal Castle from the viewpoint of my Skeksis OC, skekTah the Schemer.
No real linearity. Mostly just drabbles of various things to explore the Dark Crystal world. May contain various AUs and such.
He's the Note-Taker up until roughly 600 trine into the Skeksis reign. After that, when I have the Gelfling Gathering set in my mind, he's the Schemer. Just for those that get confused by his title change between drabbles.

skekTah is in the crystal chamber during a minor conjunction and the Dark Crystal sends him to a parallel version of his own world.

Summary
Emperor skekSo gives skekTah frightening news involving something the Schemer didn't think possible--Skeksis pregnancy. Love is in the air, Skeksis are pairing off, and children are on the way. Of course, skekTah must be the odd one in this...
AU to VotSatE where none of the Skeksis died. Takes place just after the Gelfling Gathering, so past the 600 trine mark in my canon.

Summary
A sorta-AU of Reality Jumper
Tah is a runty whouf that is being trained with his litter by skekUng to be attack whoufs for the castle. Expected to fail and die due to how small he is, Tah proves his worth...and also his cleverness in becoming the bane of the Garthim Master's existence. Just when Tah's life is threatened with elimination, the kindly Illustrator offers to try taming the wild beast. Thus begins a close-knit friendship...and a deadly mini-war between a whouf and a Skeksis Beastmaster...

Summary
A side-story to VotSatE that takes place during the movie, so this is post-VotSatE.
skekTah witnesses Emperor skekSo's death and the ensuing throne challenge between skekSil and skekUng, which skekZok bows out of. Feeling betrayed by his alliance and totally alone in the castle, skekTah chooses to leave Skarith in order to protect himself from the new Emperor's hatred of him and the inevitable banishment he would gain. This guides him on a journey that crosses Thra and back again as he searches for his purpose...

Summary
TahTao did it. He got them home. Not all of them, but at least those he could save. Thra was safe, the Gelfling were free, their inner darkness was crushed...right? They did good. This was the correct action.
But TahTao has his doubts. The past won't stop haunting him. The isolation from those he'd been trapped with for thousands of trine--years, it was years now--was destroying him. This was supposed to be good, but why did he hate it so much? Why did he want to go back?
