    Summary

    A heavy summons lies like lead upon me,
    And yet I would not sleep. Merciful powers,
    Restrain in me the cursed thoughts that nature
    Gives way to in repose.

    Summary

    Eden Prime had been an unmitigated disaster by every possible metric. The beacon she was sent to retrieve had been destroyed, the Spectre sent to oversee her mission was (allegedly, she doesn’t have proof) killed by another Spectre, and half the colony had been destroyed. Worse still, she has to talk to politicians.

    Ain't that a kick in the head?

    Summary

    It has been 5 years since the mishap with the Elder Scroll sent the Dragonborn to this new world. 5 long years since he'd seen his homeland of Tamriel. The magic of the scroll transported him to a new world, in some ways similar to his home, but in others, so very different. This new realm of Thedas was full new mysteries and dangers, and a long history of conflict. Every desperate attempt to return home ended in failure, and the Dragonborn finally resigned himself to his fate of being stuck here forever. But then Kirkwall's Chantry was destroyed, the Circles of Magi fell apart, and the Mage Rebellion began.

    As the war was quickly going nowhere for either side, and the bodies began to pile up, the Divine called together a conclave at the Temple of Sacred Ashes, the most holy of places for the religion of the Maker. For some reason he did not understand, the Dragonborn decided to attend this conclave, believing the reason behind his presence in Thedas was soon to be revealed.

    Summary

    How to accidentally steal your brother's family and run away with it
    a practical guide by you
    the self-insert third brother

    OR

    “The legitimacy of my sons’ birth was put loudly to question,” your niece says and the room gets colder. A part of you realizes why exactly Daemon is so whipped for the Crown Princess. She is every inch a dragon, prowling across the hall and facing her father. Not an ounce of hesitation when she looks at her youngest sibling and condemns the eight years old boy to torture.

    “Fucking hypocrite,” you say, loud and clear for everyone to hear.

    It wouldn't be a family meeting without The Drama, now, would it?

    Summary

    "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."

    ****


    “70 …” 68 said slowly, taken off-guard. 70 wasn’t a brother normally inclined towards ghost-tales. “Ben isn’t real. He’s just a baby story--something the tubies like to pretend is real.”

    70 shook his head, his face set in stubborn lines. “He might not be. No, listen--” he gave 74 a glare when it looked like his brother wanted to interrupt again. “I’ve heard the stories, and they’re always the same. The tubies all know what he looks like. They all know he’s a jetii, before anyone ever told them what a jetii was. You know how the longnecks keep batches of tubies separate. There’s no way any of us, or any of the older vod, could have told them about him. But it doesn’t matter. All the batches know about Ben.”
