Shaking and trembling, I find myself hyperventilating on the floor up against the wall, covering my head with my arms as much as possible, and blubbering endlessly.

Welcome back to your regularly scheduled break down. :)

Arc 2 begins.

Enjoy!

I grit my teeth, back pressed against the wall of the doorway as I listened to Kaidan charge forward with a war cry; pressing my hand to my stomach to staunch the flow of blood.

Happy anniversary, TESSDE. :) It's time.

Chapter 60, the end of arc one, is up.

Enjoy!

“Get up.”

Hi! Chapter 58 is up. :) There's a bit of a note at the beginning, but nothing bad, just me talking about where I've been. Enjoy!

I did in fact vomit the second time we went through Helgen.

Surprise! Chapter 57 is finally up. :)

There is a long detailed note at the beginning that talks about some heavy content. Please read if you like, but be mindful of your own mental health, okay? I love you!

Never posted pictures from date last night so here you go + with a lil mini story about Kaidan's thoughts in TESSDE waaaaaaaay in the future. Happy (belated) Valentine's day.

Kaidan trailed his fingers over her skin slowly, doing his best to not disturb her slumber. He couldn’t keep himself from touching her though.

She was curled up so sweetly against his side and lap, dozing peacefully for the first time in Gods knew how long. Her cheek was pressed into his chest, squishing it just so; tiny hands lightly curled.

The way her body meshed against his made him feel complete. For years he wondered alone, without anyone by his side, and betrayed by the one he had trusted most. But now, he has a home with her. Pleased to do whatever she wanted, follow where she went, protect her from harm…

His lips settled against the top of her head, the squeezing of his heart in his chest too much to bear. He carefully pulled her closer to settle on top of him better, letting out a sigh to relieve the ache inside of him.

He still had yet to find the proper words to say how he felt about her. He didn’t want it to come off awkwardly. They’d been friends for so long— and just as long were the commentary from others asking if they were together. He had always wondered after they both denied it if she wouldn’t mind being with him. If her denial came from embarrassment rather than disinterest.

But most of all, he was worried about scaring her off. Long talks in the night about how she had fears of intimacy, what men had attempted to do to her, her past relationships ending in heartache… he didn’t want to be plopped into the cluster of those people. He wanted to continue being her safe haven— an overhang cliff side that shrouded her safely from all elements.

He had his own worries too, about his sordid history. He would rather kill himself than coerce her, but did she want to remain distanced even in a relationship? Would he ever feel comfortable touching her in that way, knowing he would coat her with the blood on his hands?

So many things kept his tongue at bay. So many sleepless nights, just spent… wondering about possibilities, both good and bad.

She shuffled against him, moving in her sleep again. Her face moved to rub against his pecs, half burrowing into him, and a small purring noise rose from her throat for a moment. Her arms shifted slightly, hands now clinging to his resting leathers.

He felt the smile cross his lips without any prior thought of doing the action. He was so enamoured with her, it hurt.

Petting the top of her head softly, fingernails scratching her scalp, he stifled a chuckle as she subconsciously leaned into it in her sleep.

“G’night, kitten.” He rumbled softly, pressing another kiss to her head. “Sweet dreams.”

He’d have the guts to say it the proper way one day.

The warmth of the fireplace is a welcomed relief, despite only having been outside from the last one for a few moments. I loved cold places far more than hot ones, but there was a certain kind of nip in this cold air that seemed to really hurt just in a matter of minutes compared to home.

Hi! Chapters 44 through 56 is up.

I've uploaded all of my backlog as I no longer have the timeline for pacing it out. I'll be trying to write up as much as I can, or on the more likely chance, I'll write up some notes for people to enjoy.

More info below!

DragonBard (TESSDE) means so much to me. I'm very sad I will likely not be able to finish it. I was very willing to take however long it took, but... unfortunately life decided I was not allowed to.

Glad I was able to write as much as I did. 445,675 and some extra from 57 that I haven't finished in about 7 months is a considerable amount.

Thank you, for what it's worth, for enjoying my story! I'm so happy to have found my place in this niche little section of the internet. I really have been enjoying my time in it, and I'm so grateful for those who have enjoyed my stuff too.

I'll do what I can to get as far as I can before time is up. For those who I know in the Skyrim fandom, I may ask for your assistance, if it's not too much, haha.

Thank you for reading. 💚

“I wish you would have called for us,” Lucien said softly, chewing on some bread. It was early morning light. I’d explained what I understood to the boys as soon as I could- after passing out against Kaidan as soon as we sat down on the bed. I’d used up far too much magick, but I was at least up when the sun rose into the sky.

Chapter 43 is up!

I furrowed my eyebrows, peering around. Kaidan, Lucien, and Inigo were gone now, the house barren. I faintly worried about the cookies we had been making burning, but I was unable to pull myself away from searching for the person making this song.

Chapter 42 up! We've completely uploaded the entire first Google Doc of TESSDE to Ao3. What a wild concept. :)

Thank you for your support! Sorry this chapter is so short.
