The lexicon’s weight pinned Gwyneira’s satchel against her hip, digging it’s strap into the tight muscle of her shoulder, an ache forming there, at the base of her neck, as she re-entered the icy cave where Septimus resided. Each corner of the cube, though blunted by the leather of her bag, stuck into the flesh of her thighs beneath the thick cloth trousers she wore under her robes. She shut the screeching wind away as she skulked through the narrow stone entryway and descended into the frozen chamber, where the Imperial mumbled to himself about the hearts of gods and secrets of dwemer, and she grimaced at the sensation of her sodden wool socks between her toes.

okay my dudes and dudettes, i split up the next chapter of WKaB because, well, it really needed it, so this next chapter is going to be a bit shorter than normal. not a lot, just a little. i’m gonna comb through it one more time--i know i’ll find more mistakes after i publish it--and post it later today

i don’t want to get my hopes up, but the next chapter of WKaB should be up some time today

WKaB Second Branch, Chapter Five (preview)

doing my best to keep interest in this story live lol

i’m trying dammit. 

Despite the events of the last year, Gwyneira didn’t particularly enjoy putting herself in danger about every other week, nor did she enjoy going into situations in which she had a hard time anticipating the outcome, which, regrettably, the current task appeared to be.

She glanced around the area from their ill-conceived hiding spot: there weren’t too many residents of the ruined temple, but still, she mused, it was the three of them against what she counted as four or five others.

Including a rather bulky man with whom she didn’t immediately desire to engage, if she could have her way.

“Dragonborn, Gwyneira,” Delphine whispered, “you and I should go ahead, and Esbern can cover us,” she said. “Between his magic, my own skills, and your ability to Shout, we should be able to get through them in no time.”

“I think you vastly overestimate me,” Gwyneira whispered back.

You can read “While Kicking and Biting” from the beginning here

or go back to where it all began in “Fortune’s Favorite” 

Please don’t be afraid to let me know what you think, I cherish each and every comment/like/anything, really. Y’all make my day brighter

NEW: Writing Update Goals

okay so this job is kicking my ass

so starting this month, WKaB will be updated once a month starting at the end of this month. if there are MORE updates in between then, that’s just a bonus, but i’m working to get at least one chapter a month out. 

IRL, apparently i’m like, the only person at my counter that takes their job seriously and people keep having me do near management level stuff when we HAVE a counter manager, so i’m just feeling tired and overworked, and depressed because i haven’t even had time to work on my original writing let alone any fandom stuff.
