We've had a bunch of polls for Solomon at this point. Figured I should do something for our intrepid abomination as well.
"Leman Russ" will be exploring the convoluted depths of Elder Scrolls magic more and more in future chapters, especially once we get into the College of Winterhold arc. And while he will muck around with all of it, it's impossible not to play favorites to some extent.<...
2025-04-17 23:57:48 +0000 UTC View PostI felt my feet moving in spite of me as the words crawled over my skin and bones like someone had just upended a bucket of sewage over my head. Yuck.
My cowardly body had also tried to run away as far as it could, right up against the craggy walls. Or that's what it felt like. The light which had already begun to flee at the first uttered syllable had been snuffed out completely, throwing...
2025-04-16 23:12:23 +0000 UTC View PostTwo more PoV chapters left until Solomon III. I already have one in mind, but I have a few options for the second. Take the wheel, chat.

She knew she was dreaming. How else could she be in Highgarden, walking the carefully maintained pathways that lay beneath its walls of white stone? It was how true it felt that did not fit with it being a dream, for the scent and even the wind on her skin was like she was there…
Somehow she had found herself in t...
2025-04-12 21:49:32 +0000 UTC View PostMy time with Sanguine might have lasted a moment or a thousand years. I honestly couldn’t tell.
There might have even been a point where we were moving backwards in time because the Daedric Prince thought it would be funny. Time and even space were more a suggestion than a rule to the denizens of Oblivion.
I tried to not ask too many questions anyway, intent on maintaining the mys...
2025-04-10 19:36:43 +0000 UTC View PostA new month is upon us! There are two new ones here I think you'll enjoy.
Wooing a Femme Fatale (Overwatch)
He had been surprised when middle management asked him to sign on a mission with Widowmaker. As far as he knew, she usually worked alone.
It paid very well, and considering Talon paid well in general, that was saying something. He took the j...
2025-04-06 23:17:30 +0000 UTC View PostDaenerys
The small and salt-stained cabin had become as familiar to her as her own thoughts on their journey to Dorne. Still, she tried not to let said thoughts wander as she sat with Viserys on the bed and listened to Maegon Laessaryon speak of Valyria of old.
The Volantene nobleman had a soft voice, one made even softer by...
2025-04-05 19:30:54 +0000 UTC View PostThe watchtower was already beginning to fall apart into the snow when our happy band of tomb raiders reached it. I caught Skadi almost cleaving some poor fucker in half with her new axe as she and the Companions threw themselves into the melee.
I was bleeding some magicka for another spell when a certain someone got in the way. "You don't have to stand right in front of me, Lydia."

2025-04-02 22:30:00 +0000 UTC View PostJett felt the sweat pouring off of him as he threw blow after blow into the heavy punching bag. How many had it been now? At least a hundred by his count.
Yeah, he was really starting to feel each one.
While his form and fighting style were unorthodox, it didn't mean he didn't need to hone himself, especially with the fight he had ahead of him. After a few more blows he could feel i...
2025-04-01 03:31:28 +0000 UTC View PostWe'll be returning back to Solomon for an adventure on the high seas and I have been conflicted about what PoV to go with for it. I have no shortage of interesting options, so figured I would let peeps guide my hand.
But no Solomon PoV, I already have a good idea of what I will be doing with Solomon III.
2025-03-30 21:51:27 +0000 UTC View PostCersei
It was a familiar dream she had found herself in, walking barefoot along the polished stone floors of Casterly Rock. It reminded her of those simpler times when she and Jaime explored every nook and cranny of it.
Slowly, Cersei felt herself drawn deeper into its recesses, into that cavernous room choked with the roots...
2025-03-29 21:40:18 +0000 UTC View PostI had to watch my step as we left Jorrvaskr and the Companions behind, all the mead those maniacs egged me on to drink leaving me a bit of a mess. Whatever I was doing with magicka to give myself form and substance, it seemed to still let me get wasted.
Which wasn't a bad thing. It wouldn't be fun to never be able to indulge again.
It also left my tongue feeling looser as I turned t...

Jorah let out a quiet breath as he turned the mad plan over in his head for perhaps a third time. If they were caught, he would be lucky to only have a collar placed around his neck by that fleshy cheesemonger, Illyrio.
Some might call that a reckoning for all his transgressions, and yet for the first time in too ma...
2025-03-22 19:43:08 +0000 UTC View PostSkadi sighed, a satisfied rumble from her echoing in the quiet of the room.
They had eagerly taken advantage of the accommodations the jarl had so graciously offered them, and in their enthusiasm they had laid another bed low.
Now she laid in its ruins and watched her man as he slept, one of her legs thrown over him possessively. Skadi had always been greedy, even when she was but a...

The Volantene vintage was not unlike liquid silk as she drank deeply of it, its rich taste dancing across her tongue. It tasted even better knowing she had taken it from the personal collection of the beautiful man at her feet, his silver hair like a river down his back.
He might only be some third son of some overly lo...
2025-03-15 21:33:22 +0000 UTC View PostFor a moment I wanted to tell her everything. I'd have to be a moron to miss the fact that I had feelings for her now, whatever or wherever this was. I didn't want to lie to her.
But no. Maybe she would just laugh it off, but there was always the risk of her zero summing or whatever the fuck it was called. Realizing you're just some imaginary thing in someone else's dream and internalizin...

Tending to her garden, she hummed a half-remembered tune under her breath. There were seven rose bushes altogether now, each bearing roses in every shade of yellow.
She knew they were all pale imitations of the rose she was given despite being its children, but she still found them beautiful, especially as they were...
2025-03-08 21:24:07 +0000 UTC View PostSpring is here.
Sore Loser (Street Fighter)
He was a fresh face on the scene, a nobody. The odds on him winning against her were 30 to 1. Maybe that's why Chun-Li had even agreed to his perverted bet.
Well, that or because he was being a pest, but what's a fight without some pre-fight banter? Nothing worth talking about, that's what.
It was always something of a sight to see seven feet of woman on the move, her long hair whipping behind her. While she probably imagined herself as going on a light jog, to me it might as well have been a full-on sprint.
At least this time it wasn't me she was bearing down on, waving a massive axe around and sporting a bloodthirsty grin.
Still, seven feet of woman bearing down on a...

It was an easy thing for her to keep pace with the procession of men leaving the Red Keep, all of them northerners. Lord Stark, or the lord Hand now, had to his credit moved quickly against the naked treachery afoot in the capital.
Brienne had heard many an ill thing about King’s Landing over the years, but even th...
2025-03-02 22:25:15 +0000 UTC View PostBeen thonking about this one for a bit. First thing you'll notice is lower prices everywhere. Also only three tiers instead of four.
Having four different tiers all reading ahead at different breakpoints kinda made a mess with regard to spoilers, effectively creating a barrier for discussion. Cutting that number by half should help curb that.
Now, seeing as almost all my subs were a...
2025-03-01 23:35:56 +0000 UTC View PostIt had been a glorious few weeks since I’d crawled out of a hole into El Dorado.
The city of gold had made great strides in that time, ending a thousand years of isolation. In a few years it might even know something of empire.
Still, I admit it, I was an indulgent would-be god. When I wasn’t trying (and usually failing) to apply grand strategy game concepts to the real world, I...
2025-02-28 22:33:25 +0000 UTC View PostIt was late when we crept back into the inn, maybe past midnight. There were still a handful of others quietly trading conversation around the fireplace, but that was it.
I noticed Delphine had vanished as well when Skadi dragged me inside the room.
She wasted no time falling back on the fat bed and making a happy sound. “Worth a few more septims, isn’t it?”
I didn’t m...

He refrained from rolling his eyes as the sallow-skinned Prince of Dorne again looked away at the many pools and fountains of the Water Gardens. The man had proven to be just as stubborn as he expected.
He took a sip of the wine he was offered, but it was both too strong and too sweet.
"And where is this Aegon ...
2025-02-22 20:43:26 +0000 UTC View PostSeems we have another tie, though only a twosome and not a foursome this time.
2025-02-21 18:35:49 +0000 UTC View Post"Russ," I heard someone whisper softly. Already I was beginning to respond to it as if it was actually my name.
Skadi was giving me a funny smile when I opened an eye blearily. "What?"
"You were mumbling nonsense in your sleep."
Right. I probably shouldn't mention I had a chat with a Daedric Prince…
I smushed my face between my makeshift pillows again instead, sighing ...

It was dark. Dark and wet.
What was the Greyjoy bitch playing at? He had offered her his sword, a woman, and she rewarded him by binding and gagging him and throwing him in here. If she thought the high-and-mighty Lord Florent would deal with her fairly—
A larger wave rocked the ship unpleasantly, in...
2025-02-15 19:25:24 +0000 UTC View PostA good day to say a few words, I think.
The next two PoVs for ASoBaH will be dropping tomorrow, and after that it will be Solomon's second PoV chapter. Smooth sailing on that front.
I've also been working on A Dreamer in a Dream, with the third chapter dropping last night. Going to push for a public release in February, so two more chapters will be coming in hot compared to the last...
2025-02-15 00:57:24 +0000 UTC View PostWith Anthony no longer trying to barbecue me, I took a look around at the complete clusterfuck still going on. And we were winning… maybe.
Skadi had cornered the big bad bandit queen, though she also managed to catch an arrow with one of her thunder thighs. Not that it seemed to bother her too much as she laughed and swung her new axe around like a demented top. Ralof meanwhile looked m...

Her Black Wind had not received the warmest of welcomes in Oldtown, but it was not Lannisport where they would have been lucky to walk away only a few heads shorter. The promise of goods from the Free Cities did much to help as well, and she spent the morning speaking with merchants.
It was dull work, but ...
