Mostly too old for this crap. Asks always open, however starting Discourse will likely result in being whacked with Foucault, as it should be. Blog run by an adult, proceed accordingly.

~~~ Skyrim TES V ~~~
Gathering Souls
Rating: E/M (GDV and occasional smut, CW in chapters) Pairings: OC x OC; Teldryn Sero x OC World state: Game Timeline, Canon-Divergent Genre: Adventure, Romance, Lore nerdery and chaos Style: 3rd person limited, Ensemble, Rotating POV, Collab writing Status: In Progress
Summary: The dragons are rising, just as foretold, but prophecies are known to be a bit vague on the details. Only those who’ve been touched by the gods are given the power to defy fate, but using it forces them down narrow paths…and that’s doubly ironic for those touched twice. In short? The Dragonborn is busy, and Skyrim is fucked. In the year 4E 201, it’s up to a band of misfits—a Blade without a leader, a priestess without a temple, an outlander without a soul, and a merc without a choice—to stop the world from careening off its axis. The Wheel certainly turns…but with souls serving as the favored currency between mortals and the planes, one gets caught in the spokes.
Always Read the Fine Print
Rating: E/M (GDV; occasional smut, tagged accordingly) Pairings: Teldryn Sero x OC World state: Prequel to Skyrim Genre: Adventure, Romance, Grimdark Style: 3rd person limited, past tense Status: Completed
Summary: Vera’s world ended not with a bang, but with a whimper: the year is 2095, the world in the throes of late-stage climate change. The Earth will keep going, the humans - not so much. As it turns out, the apocalypse is contagious: either that, or she has spectacularly bad luck. Waking up naked on a bloody altar isn’t the best introduction to a new place, but you make do with what life hands you. After a rocky start, Vera finds herself in Markarth, trying to make a new home for herself amidst the violence, corruption, and Thalmor zealotry. But just when things are finally settling down - as much as they can in the city of blood and silver - a Nord and a Dunmer roll into town with the mother of all bad deals. Always read the fine print.

STALLED WIPS
~~~ Dragon Age Inquisition ~~~
Recipes for Disaster Series (Reluctant Alchemist)
Banner by @eranehn Rating: Mature (occasionally explicit, tagged accordingly) Pairings: Solas/OC and other minor relationships. World state: Dark Timeline Thedas/AU Genre: Humor/adventure/drama/romance, long, slowest of builds, slow burn, MCIT Style: single POV, 3rd person limited, present tense Status: Vol 1 Completed, Vol 2 WIP on hiatus
Summary: A modern-day historian tries to survive Thedas by wit, chance, and the skin of her teeth at the questionable edges of the Inquisition. Featuring weird cosmology, philosophical romps, wild takes on the canon, and lots of original content.
The Doomsday Chronicles
Rating: Explicit Pairings: Blackwall x OC and other relationships. World state: Post-Apocalyptic AU Genre: Horror, Adventure, Grimdark Style: 3rd person limited, shifting POV Status: Hiatus
Summary: The Inquisition was gathering momentum – until something went terribly wrong with closing the Breach. Inquisitor Levellan is dead or worse, the Veil is in tatters, the laws of magic are upended, and Corypheus stands unopposed. Not even the Dread Wolf wanted this mess.
~~~ Dragon Age 2 ~~~
Apocrypha.
Rating: Explicit (rated for body horror) Pairings: F!Cousland x Loghain; F!Cousland x Architect World state: Post-Awakening Genre: Horror, MCIT, Epistolary Style: first person epistolary, past tense Status: Hiatus
Summary: A strange journal in an unreadable language surfaces in the Inquisition’s archive. Just one more dubious discard rescued from the rubble of the Kirkwall Circle, it is filed away and promptly forgotten. Until someone takes up the task of deciphering it.
