Re-reading old AU pieces for TESSDE about having a child through Lady Mara's blessing with Kaidan, Lucien, and Inigo...................... I feel so sappy and soft

Hello TESSDE fans. :)

[kagedbird]

Some of you will be pleased to hear my notes for TESSDE are growing...

It's getting close to April! Which would normally mean!! I'd start posting TESSDE stuff!!

(;¬‿¬) Yeah................. about that...............

Things have been!! Super rough!! This entire break!! And I literally haven't touched neither my notes nor the actual chapters to write anything.

I've been focusing on art commissions and work and my fiancé and friends and resting after writing for another year straight, and rent increased and I'm trying to get a different job because the current one does NOT pay for ANYTHING and

It's been a lot. (´。＿。｀)

It's been restful though! I've consumed so many Manhua! And anime! And video games!! I'm super invested in Fields of Mistria and Balatro and Helldivers 2 and so many others! I've genuinely had a really good break. From writing completely.

(Not to say I haven't written small blurbs just to stop the maladaptive daydreams from ruining my life completely but they aren't related to TESSDE.)

Just letting you know, TESSDE will be on a longer hiatus than anticipated merely because! Life! And I'm very sorry about that. But I have WAY too many notes (and maladaptive daydreams) to give up on it and while I've said that about literally EVERY story I've done so far, this one is far different.

If there's one thing I won't give up on, it's TESSDE. :)

Thanks for your patience and understanding! I just need everything to settle down for a bit so I can focus on it properly. Promise we'll return stronger than ever someday, even if I can't give a definitive date right now!

ヾ(•ω•`)o Much love!

Nice. Honestly really proud of myself for reaching this many words in TESSDE. Compared to my older stories, I've grown exponentially in terms of consistency, story telling, and length. Back then, I never had a story go beyond 10 chapters. I hadn't been as hyperfixated on my previous works like I am with Skyrim. (Or at least my boys.)

As a present for the second anniversary, what would you all like to see?

We're just gonna... do it a bit differently this time I guess.

After a hearty breakfast and being stuffed silly with supplies from Sigrid and saying our goodbyes, we all trekked down towards Markarth via the carriage in Whiterun— after letting Bren know where we’d be. He was against the idea— as if any of us had really any doubt, he hated me going anywhere far away from him— but gave us his well wishes. (Me. Gave me his well wishes. Cursed everyone else out.) (Old fart.)

CHAPTER 77 is up!! There's a big notice in the beginning note, so please take a look!

[kagedbird]

I'll be making a note of this on the next update but uh

I've been having a lot of trouble focusing and having a lot of stress because the holidays were not the big payout I was hoping for with my job because UPS is a shit show, to the point where I couldn't even afford to go to work these past two days

But I'll be posting chapters 77 and 78 only. There won't be a 79 until I come back from my break after the anniversary of TESSDE!

And trust me, chapter 78 is. It's long. It'll last you. Promise.

Keerava hadn’t been lying when she said this place was horrible. It was likely linked to the sewers or a cistern, generating a god awful smell that may or may not have been also contributed by people’s rancid filthy piles of shit scattered in the halls. God I wish I had prestidigitation.

Chapter 76 is up!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

ALSO THANK YOU FOR OVER 10K HITS ON TESSDE!!!! FUCKING INSANE!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
