#dragonborn fellowship shenanigans

Dropping this to show off ✨️the fellowship✨️from my fic.

These are, of course, my headcannons. Also, Ravonna subtly showing the middle finger is so in character for her.

Blank format under the cut!

Snippets someday

Thank you for the tags @dirty-bosmer (you had an amazing idea with this tag game!), @mareenavee, @blossom-adventures, you guys are the best <3 <3 This tag game is amazing, and while it was hard to pick favourites, I had so much fun, and looking back on my first chapters, I love to see the similarities, but also the differences. ‘Wherever you go, there you are’ is such a fulfilling and fun journey for me! Starting to write and post fanfic was the best decision ever, because not only did it boost my confidence and made me develop my own writing style, but it also lead me to meet some amazing people along the way. Just know that I appreciate every single one of you who reads my work/leaves kudos and comments/tags me in tag games/or interacts with my posts! I love this little community to pieces! But enough sappy ramblings, let’s get to the rules!

Rules:

Revisit an old fic (or earlier chapters of your current WIP) and share a snip from: 

 * Your first chapter 

 * Your favorite chapter 

* Your most challenging chapter 

 Alternatively, if you don't write longfic, feel free to share your one-shots. Provide as much or as little commentary as you want.

The snippets under the cut are from my longfic, WYGTYA

*Snippet from my first chapter! These are from chapter two, because chapter one is just a prologue to put readers into context with where the story starts :)

“I think I’d make a good bartender.” Inigo says, finally turning to them from the treasure chest, wearing a cravat and a monocle. Making exaggerated gestures with a golden goblet, decorated with small emeralds and putting on his most fancy accent, “May I take your order, my lord?”

“Ah, yes. Give me some of your most exquisite wine. I am, after all, a mer with expensive taste.” Rumarin responds in the same fashion while Ravonna and Lucien are laughing so hard the boat’s shaking.

“Very well, My lord. Coming right up!” and, to everyone’s surprise, he actually finds a bottle of Gods-know-what and opens it.

“Wait, did you get that out of the chest?” Ravonna asks with a mixture of amazement and concern.

“Yes, my lady. Do not worry. It is very exquisite indeed!”

“We’ll see about that. I’m a wine expert, after all.”

“Rumarin, are you sure that’s drinkable? It’s been there for hundreds of years at least!”

“You know, Lucien, I have a philosophy in life. A few, actually. One, wine would never hurt me. Two, always try to drink something that resembles wine, but you have to smell it first. And three… cheers, mate!” and he quickly downs the so-called wine, much to Lucien’s horror.

“Did he just do that? Did you just do that?”

“I did.” He grins.

“Well how is it?” Ravonna asks.

“It’s… exquisite.”

“I wanna try that!”

“Me too!” Inigo says, already looking for more fancy goblets.

“Guys I don’t think we should – ”

“Luci, the dremora pirate says everything’s fine to use. I guess this includes the wine. Now give me that bottle!” Ravonna grabs the bottle taking a careful sip. “By the Gods!”

“Well I’m not going to drink it, just in case y’all get poisoned and need someone to save the day.”

“Uuh, guys?”

“It’s fine, really. I know a thing or two about brewing. The older the wine, the better, and the more expensive, I tell you. My father had this wine back at the tavern, almost two hundred years old! I used to sneak in and take a few sips.” Ravonna laughs.

“Guys?”

“You know what? You’re right. And it’s definitely wine. I know wine when I tase it, or smell it, believe me. And I’ve got another philosophy for you, Lucien.”

“Guys?!?”

“What?” they all turn to Inigo, in unison.

“Please tell me I’m not the only one seeing masked people all dressed the same waiting for us at shore.”

“Shit, you’re right.”

Fun fact, this first chapter is one of m absolute favourites. I still remember the sheer amounts of excitement I felt while writing it!

___________________________________________

*For the favourite chapter, I chose chapter 9, because the Skaal Village party, as well as all the metaphor of rebirth and the bonding that took place between the characters is so near and dear to my heart <3. Chapter 10 was a very close second, though! 

“I’m sorry.” She barely says between giggles. “It’s just so funny to me how life works.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, some nights ago, we were killing each other, and now we’re almost fighting over who is supposed to be apologizing. How did we get here?!”

He laughs along with her, feeling lightheaded from the alcohol. “I have no idea. I'd call it a pleasant surprise.”

“Well then, let’s make most of it! I need another one of those magical shots, and they are a lot more fun to drink with somebody.” She says, getting up and offering her hand.

“There’s magic involved?” He says, taking her hand and trying to get up, but she lets go of his hand, falling on the snow. She was laughing again and she almost dragged him with her.

“Oh, Gods!” she gets up and shakes the dirt and snow off her robes. “I thought a man as well-read as you would be able to spot a figure of speech. I didn’t mean actual magic!”

“Oh, give me a break, vahdin (woman)! It’s been a long night and I haven’t had a drink in five millennia!”

“Whatever. Your fancy dragon words don’t make up for it!” She looks directly in his eyes. They’re close to each other. Just like in Apocrypha when she got up and in his face. The pose so similar, yet so different. Like looking in a mirror and seeing the complete opposite.

“Hi los ful brit. (You are so beautiful)”

“Shut up, s’wit.” She says, not understanding a word from his dovahzul, but her face doesn’t indicate any trace of anger.

“I know what that means.”

“You know everything, don’t you.”

He thinks for a moment. “Not everything, no. I’ve read books, yes, but I don’t know much about you.”

“Okay, alright. Here’s a fun fact about me: I really want to go take that shot.”

“Fiiiiiiine.” He lets himself get dragged to the main area of the party.

___________________________________________

*For the most challenging, I chose chapter 11, because it legit took me two months to write this thing! The battle with Vahlok was someting that I kept putting off because it’s very action and angst filled and that can be tricky for me to write. Also, the Dovahzul language is killing me hahaha!

“Tiid fah hi wa kos nahlot ahrk dir (loosely: time for you to shut up and die)” Vahlok screeched, and shoved Ravonna into a wall as hard as he could with his telekinetic powers. This awakened something in Fenrik. Something he hasn’t felt since he killed his first dragon.

“Fin gein ahraan dii fahdonne (no one hurts my friends)!” Fenrik shouts, breaking free from his grip.

“Fahdonne?(Friends?)” Vahlok tilts his head in bewilderment. “Un fron lost nid fahdonne, sonaak! (Our kind has no friends, dragon priest!)” He says in a mocking tone.

“Tol los ni wo zu'u los! Ni alun aan ziist tiid! (Loosely: That is not who I am! Not anymore and not ever again!)” and with that, he strikes him with a sparks spell and all hell breaks loose.

I’m going to tag @bougainvillea-and-saltwater @kiir-do-faal-rahhe @thelavenderelf @sheirukitriesfandom with no pressure, of course! And tagging anyone else who would like to share! Consider yourself tagged!

All this talk of a karaoke night with @bougainvillea-and-saltwater made me think about what the fellowship would actually sing🤔

Lots of sea shanties, naturally

Ravonna would absolutely nail 'Freak on a leash' by Korn

Rumarin and Marcurio would sing 'I've had the time of my life' (and even do the movie pose! Rumarin's a strong elf and Marcurio is tiny. Hopefully, no one will fall. Hopefully.)

Lucien and Inigo would sing 'Timber' by Pitbull and Kesha (they are very drunk)

Miraak would sing Ievan Polkka, as I headcannon it as an old Atmoran party song and after a few more drinks he will sing 'Strawberry Blond' by Mitski to a very confused, black-haired Ravonna

Teldryn will refuse to sing, resorting to watching them and smiling at the drunk idiots

Jia is invited, of course 🥰 Her and Ravonna would sing 'Don't stop me now' by Queen and 'Blunt the Knives' (everyone else will be like: "Who tf is Bilbo and why does he hate it?")

@kiir-do-faal-rahhe Odette is invited too, of course. She's Ravonna's favourite metal chick, after all, and she would like to get crazy and sing some Hole with her (maybe Celebrity Skin? They're the famous Dovahkiin, after all) Also, Ravonna knows how to play 'The Devil went down to Georgia' on her fiddle 👀👀

SURPRISE!! All of @ghostfacedbat Miraaks show up and sing 'The real Slim Shady' because I think it would be hilarious

Songs that everyone joins in on: Ragnar the Red, Bohemian Rhapsody and The Drunken Sailor

I am getting waaaay too invested in the ✨️modern AU✨️

With the occasion of @bougainvillea-and-saltwater doing the wip Wednesday challenge now, I'm gonna use this as a perfect excuse to post a little sneak peek of chapter 9 from WYGTYA *and* maybe see what my writer friends are doing 👀

~

After crossing the bridge carefully and walking the distance, the fellowship finally arrived at the Skaal village and was greeted warmly. Upon entrance, they were all given snowberry crowns and a shot of some of the strongest alcohol that has graced Ravonna’s lips. Tradition, the Skaal called it.

“That is absolutely amazing. I would like to know the recipe.” She says, holding the small glass to her heart, tears forming in her eyes from the strength of the drink, while Lucien and Miraak have a cough access.

“You’re going to have to talk to Elmus for that. He’s the one that does the brewing. I’m sure he’s here somewhere.” A Skaal woman says, smiling at them, while an older nord is laughing at Miraak and Lucien’s agony.

“Seeing folks drinking that for the first time never gets old!” the old nord laughs.

“I need water!” Lucien says, his face now as red as a beetroot.

“By the Gods, the All-Maker, and everything else that people believe in these days…” Rumain says, wrinkling his nose after taking the shot.

“I’m already drunk… I think” Inigo says, tilting his head at the empty glass.

Teldryn is trying very hard not to show it, but the strong alcohol impressed him too. It’s left him speechless, even, so he resorts to nodding and giving them a ‘not bad’ look. Miraak, on the other hand, walked up to the nearest house to lean on it.

“You okay?” Ravonna asks him.

“I – uh – I’ve never had anything this strong in my entire life. My throat feels like the way Red Mountain looks!”

SHOTS FOR EVERYONE!! It was very hard to choose which fragment from chap.9 to post, because I love them all so much. I was this 🤏close to posting two very big moments, but I gotta keep y'all teasing so you don't gIve up with this clusterfuck of a fic :)))) I'll just say this: they get drunk. Like, all of them.

Tagging @kiir-do-faal-rahhe @thelavenderelf @notoriousbastardlover only if you want to, of course.

I really feel like making content about my fic. So since I cannot draw, I give you: the fellowship as vines/funny videos!

I had a blast while making this! But I have to mention that none of the clips used are mine.

Phew that's a lot of memes, but what can I say, this is one of my favourite chapters, honestly :D

Teldryn Sero will literally say shit like: "I'm fine, sera. 'Tis but a scratch." And be impaled by a huge ice spear.

Last line tag game

Rules: Share the last line you wrote and tag as many people as there are words.

I was tagged by the lovely @thelavenderelf Thank you so much!!💖💖

I have just posted chapter 7 of WYGTYA but I like to be a little ahead with my writing. So here’s a little sneak-peek from chapter 8! 

“Oh, come on! You do not give yourself enough credit." She turns to Miraak. "This crazy bastard managed to seduce a Thalmor soldier and take all his clothes! He didn't even have to sneak into the Embassy! He was dressed in that poor and now heartbroken bastard's Thalmor robes. He just... walked in there and took what we needed and freed all the prisoners. No one suspected him." She laughs. "Besides, we overshadowed everyone at the Embassy with our dance.”

Line can also mean line of dialogue, right? Anyway, a little story of how ‘Diplomatic Immunity’ happened! And, of course she’s talking about Rumarin :))) More stuff under the cut!

I can’t tag as many people as there are words, I don’t even know if I have this many mutuals, but I’ll tag my writer friends @kiir-do-faal-rahhe and @bougainvillea-and-saltwater if you want to, ofc💖💖

Also, this whole line of dialogue made me think of Ravonna dancing like Wednesday, distracting everyone while Rumarin slips away from the party and I made the dumbest thing ever. I want to write the whole quest because it has so much potential for shenanigans! If I do, it will be posted in the wygtya prequel series, for sure.

Modern AU of my fic and what kind of music would the fellowship listen to:

Besides listening to sea shanties, Ravonna would be a full-on metalhead, listening to bands like Slipknot, Korn, Slayer and all the nordic metal bands, like Amon Amarth.

Miraak would be an indie girl 100%. Mitski, Mt. Joy, lots of Hozier, Matt Maeson

I know this is predictable but Lucien would listen to classical music. Mozart, Vivaldi, Bach, Satie, Debussy, all that jazz

I feel like Inigo would be the guy who listens to everything and vibes with everybody

Rumarin would listen to the most obscure stuff. Like... bottom of the iceberg of music thing.

Marcurio loves his 70s music. He just listens to his 'All out 70s' playlist all the time, but he also vibes with Ravonna and they drag their boyfriends to metal concerts

Teldryn listens to dad rock, for sure. Ac/dc, Kiss, Scorpions, The Eagles

I'm really curious what genre of music would your ocs listen to @kiir-do-faal-rahhe @bougainvillea-and-saltwater and what would your Miraak listen to?🤔

If anyone wants to do this btw, please tag me, I wanna see 👀
