We didn't make Redcliffe that day. Instead, over the next three days, we had two new recruits. It's a long story and will take some breaking down. Sometime during that first morning, our destination changed from Redcliffe to some out of the way hovel called Honnleath. We were heading there as we passed a travelling merchant, who offered Cerys some sort of d...
Chapter Fifty-Nine: Adjustment "I'll stay, if that's okay." "Only if you get a bedroll or find another couch and get more comfortable. I won't have you sitting up all night." "Yes, mother." I stuck my tongue out again, and he laughed. Morrigan dropped in to say hello while Aedan was away gathering things. We chatted amiably for a few minutes, and t...
Chapter Ninety-One: Ascent For the next several days, we relaxed in between going to meetings with Sereda. She had already made sweeping changes, instituting a new 'military' caste that took anyone who could fight regardless of previous caste (or lack thereof). She had the recruits, mostly former casteless, training under the supervision of a few open-mind...
51 Buckingham Gate, Westminster, London Colin Westbridge entered his apartment after the grueling 90-minute commute back to the city. The clock chimed 4pm as he tossed his money clip and keys onto the foyer table. "Darling, I'm home!" There was no answer, and he frowned as he wondered where his wife could have gone. He didn't have to wait long for an ans...
Just to answer a question / comment from the previous chapter, how is the Dragonborn armed and armoured? As he's arrived after defeating Alduin, I always do that mission at the end of my play-through, so my character is always OP by that stage, so defeating Alduin is always an anti-climax. To ensure he's somewhat killable, or he can at least be wounded and...
Chapter Sixty-One: Recruitment Plans Wynne looked about to object, so I signalled her to stop and follow me. We went just a little ways out of camp, her judgemental gaze never leaving me as we walked. I held my hand up to forestall her. "I know. You don't approve. You don't trust Anders, because he keeps trying to escape. Honestly, the only thing that su...
Chapter 25 - A Different Sort of Fun ***** Ever woken up with five, naked, beautiful women before? I hadn't, and I could only pinch myself as I looked across all five of them. Lyna was still spooned against me, Leliana having turned over during the night to spoon Solona. I managed to hold back the chuckle, noticing Brosca and Sereda were spooning on the ot...
Chapter 28 - Journey to Denerim ***** The three of us were woken early by a servant, a polite rap on the door turning a little louder. I opened the door without covering up, ready to yell about being woken up, when I was gently reminded that we would be departing early, and therefore breakfast was being served. Slightly embarrassed, I thanked the servant,...
It was the night of the highest tide, where the cool grass of the Carrough Faire met with the icy seas of the Laithe Bay. The night when the waxing moon silhouetted the three ships of Erised from the small seaside town. The trade winds filled tired sails and ruffled the blonde haired sailors aboard, eager for their homes. It was on this night that Ada s...

They are very short (8-10 pages double spaced in MS Word each), non-erotic, and follow a few POVs. It deals with polytheism heavily and there is a lot of violence and fighting. I hope you enjoy these stories, they are being developed into another...
