That evening I have not missed the area around Winterhold. It’s pretty enough, if I stop thinking like a Bosmer, but the night air tends toward breezes and kicks up snow that is burningly cold against the face and ears. The moons are always clearly visible, though. Serana seems less than impressed. “I’ve seen plenty of nightscapes before.” At least I won’t live long enough to get bored of pretty things. Unless I end up with Nocturnal instead of Hircine and end up spending my afterlife bored of pretty things. …I’ve made a mess of my death. Maybe I should just be a vampire and collectively tell all the Daedra to stuff it.

That evening

I have not missed the area around Winterhold. It’s pretty enough, if I stop thinking like a Bosmer, but the night air tends toward breezes and kicks up snow that is burningly cold against the face and ears.

The moons are always clearly visible, though.

Serana seems less than impressed. “I’ve seen plenty of nightscapes before.”

At least I won’t live long enough to get bored of pretty things. Unless I end up with Nocturnal instead of Hircine and end up spending my afterlife bored of pretty things.

…I’ve made a mess of my death. Maybe I should just be a vampire and collectively tell all the Daedra to stuff it.

The next morning: Not only was sleep not a thing thanks to yesterday’s Vexing Bryntervention, but the first thing Serana and I ran into on the road was a sabrecat. We’re not even an hour outside of Riften and I already hate everything about this trip. The sabrecat is dead, but if the rest of this trip isn’t uneventful, I’m eating the Moth Priest when we find him. Except they don’t exactly sound appetizing. Dry, dusty, and crunchy, yes. Can’t be worse than General Tullius was.

Q:Just letting you know that I LOVE this journal, so much that a few weeks ago I wrote a little review of it on my blog. Tumblr won't let me link here, but look up "for those who are into skyrim - Simendipity". I'm also in the process of writing my own character journal. I've written about 25 entries so far. I'm a bit nervous about releasing it into the wild just yet, but do you have a wordpress ID? Perhaps you can read it and tell me what you think. Anyway, thankyou for this story. Awesome read.

((I read the review you wrote. Thank you so much!

Unfortunately I do not have a wordpress ID, but here’s my advice on the matter. Do you like it? Are you writing it because it’s fun for you? If so, “release it into the wild.”

The moment a story stops being fun for you and meant for other people, it stops being fun for other people to read.))

That night It feels oddly good to be in Riften. I wasn’t expecting that. I still can’t turn right at the main gate, but the air feels less close. Reeks the same, though. Some things won’t ever change. Serana is off doing something I decided not to ask about. I’m going to stop into the Guild for the evening, and then tomorrow she and I are meeting up and heading off to find a Moth Priest. Well. Find where to find one. Later …Brynjolf was happy to see me. I got a hug, hair-petting, and the tense eye-watching, partly-tilted face that would have been a kiss if Vex hadn’t started chuckling. Now I can’t sleep because I’m wondering what it would feel like to curl up against his chest and let him hold me while I drifted off. I hate Riften so much.

News!

((Okay, guys. Thanks for the feedback. I’ll be doing updates as I can and putting them in the queue, which means if there’s an update to be had, it will go live at its normal time (10:30PST).

Also, the Braith the Bosmer companion mod is being actively worked on and is close to an alpha stage. If you’re interested in watching the progress of that, follow my main blog.

If you’re interested in helping me test her and get her ready for release, message me. :3 (Those who already have need not do so again.) Since she has face-paint, there are going to be some FUN THINGS to overcome.


Love you all! Thanks for helping me keep this story alive and going!))

Q:oh lord yes I'd be happy to test but I'll have to talk to my brother about it since we share a copy with a few other people so I will likely have an answer for you soon as he wakes up which could be any time from now till 4 pm. But I cannot tell you how happy I would be to test her out.

b-a-n-a-n-a-anas

((I can give you guys a write-up on exactly what she changes. I tried to make her impact minimal so people who don’t want to use her will hardly notice she’s there.))

Q:I was meaning to ask if you'd ever gotten Braith working as a follower mod and if you've published her anywhere because I would LOVE to have her joining me for some crazy adventures(as well as helping me not die because my brother has modded our game to make it EXTREMELY DIFFICULT)

b-a-n-a-n-a-anas

((Actually, I do have her in a functional alpha state and am looking for testers. If you’re interested in helping me get her ready for the general public I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE HELP.

That actually would encourage me to get out of bed and redo her intro quest today. Look at you. You’re helping. <3 <3 <3))

Q:I hope you are felling better! Might I ask if you have a general idea of when Braith's adventures will resume?

((Inbox slowly filling with these questions. D:

Sorry, guys. I do feel better but work is insane right now. I used to work on these on my lunch break and I sort of haven’t been taking lunch breaks, so there goes my chances to work on the queue.

I AM going to finish this story. I can promise you that. I have it outlined to the end, I just haven’t had time to play the middle bits.

It’s just difficult when working a career, taking care of my small zoo of animals, and constantly getting sick. 

I want to thank all of you for your patience and dedication and apologize for the hiatuses. It’s lovely that you don’t give up on me.))

Q:I been gone for awhile i started to reading your stuff again! * Cheers* I was just curious what happened between Braith and Brynjolf. BTW. Loved how you decided to take Mjoll out

((Braith and Brynjolf are refusing to allow me to answer this question because they swear it’s “Not a past tense thing.”

I hope that helps! XD))
