December 13th, 1885 While I had wished to set out upon the Gypsy's Promise under Captain Teach, the simple fact was that Mr. Bates' chosen man for all things nautical was simply not in the docks at Tarant, but was rather shipping freight to a mysterious, undisclosed location. Entirely above board, I was sure. Surely, Captain Teach would never mislead custo...
Author's Note: I realize I was a little unclear in my note about last week's chapter and wasn't sure how to fix it after it posted. Chapter 3 is definitely a sexy one. So if you're into that and skipped it because of my poor wording at the top of that chapter, check it out, yeah? This one is also a steamy one. After the ### is the first non-explicit chapter...
Chapter 24 - Confessions of the Forest ***** The Dalish were as friendly as I imagined they'd probably be. If you're wondering if I'm being sarcastic, I am. It was clear they distrusted humans, though I didn't feel any major hostility. Mostly, they were just suspicious, even when we announced that Alistair and Cerys were Wardens and we were looking to recr...
Chapter 23 The refugees had set themselves up in family groups in the cavernous building in which they'd taken shelter. Ellerie made her way between them, careful not to step on the few who were still sleeping. The villagers' mood was subdued after everything they'd been through. Their headman's death the previous afternoon had just been one more shock adde...
On a dark, bitter, winter's night in Ankh-Morpork when Captain Angua had nothing particular to do, she and Sergeant Littlebottom strolled into Biers, the favorite bar of the Differently Alive (AKA the Undead). The place momentarily went quiet at the sight of Watch uniforms but as soon as the clientele saw (or smelled) who the visitors were, the low-level com...
Hi readers! I took a lot longer writing this chapter than I intended, due to some major life changes (all is well, and I'm doing great so don't worry). Thank you for your patience! I'm hoping this story will wrap up with just one more chapter. I can't promise when it will be out, but I will commit to finishing it no matter how long it takes. To those who hav...
Cal Benton turned his Honda CL350 off Interstate 70 at the exit that said "Sawtooth Mountain, 10 miles," and stopped the bike on the overpass looking back toward Denver. Only 50 miles to the west, he was already well into the front range of the majestic Rocky Mountains. He sat silently staring back toward the plains, reveling in the snow-capped peaks and vas...
Editor's note: this story contains scenes of incest or incest content. ***** Thanks to Lunarlilith, GCMIVB4, CaptObvious, and Truehearts for editing assistance. Fair warning, this story contains themes of pseudo-incest. Enjoy. *** Cool, clear water lapped around his ears as he floated, basking in tropical sunshine. He could feel it, hot on his shut...
Hey everyone, so I'm just going to address some things about the last installment. As far as Natasha's character, it was how I wanted her to be portrayed.. I'm sorry if some of you didn't see what I was trying to accomplish but it was simply her being overwhelmed. That's it. People handle stress in different ways and it seemed right for her to become the opp...
Dear Readers, Thank you all for continuing to follow this story. I can hardly believe that I have been writing about these two for three years. I'm saddened that it is getting near the end. My goal is for you all to wind up satisfied that these two are on the right footing in their relationship. Once we reach that point, I will feel comfortable bringing th...
