Summary
He needed to run. He needed to escape. The floor came up to meet him a second time as he tried to get forward momentum. He was going to have to try his chances in Riften proper, try not to get his throat slit. He couldn’t stay here though, he couldn’t...
His chest burned as he sucked in a breath and shoved himself up again, stumbling slightly to the right.
The beast howled inside of him.
Slowly, as his senses returned, he realized that pounding in his ears was the pounding of boots.
“Well,” Beatrice said, heaving a sigh. “Haven’t gotten much smarter, have you, Ashborne?” He looked over his shoulder, eyes wide–vision blurry. He could just make out her figure. Could make out as she raised the warhammer once again. “Nice try, though.” Xantos twisted, falling on his ass and trying to scoot backwards- his arms coming up to try and block his head... one of them, at least. The other was screaming with agony, doing little more than twitch at his side every time he tried to move it.
And she brought down the warhammer–
And was stopped.

Summary
Murray ducked down on instinct, yelping in alarm and shielding the package of fish like it was his child. The righthand wall of Vilemyr Inn blasted open, Xantos bouncing not once, but thrice down the road. He rolled a little, ending up face down against the stones. Murray stared after him with wide eyes, then jumped, his head snapping around when he heard the crack of thunder and saw a bright flash of light out of the corner of his eye.
Something was following the dunmer out.
A veritable stormfront preceded the Telvanni wizard, billowing clouds and zaps of stray lightning shooting out, scorching the ground and building alike. Aremi staggered out of the hole, almost stumbling on debris–but never looking away from Xantos, her face contorted in a furious snarl–or… What Murray could see of it, anyway. She was clutching the side of her face with one hand, and swaying a touch.
“You thick-skulled ingrate,” she growled, her voice ragged. Lightning was pouring out of her hands, skittering across the ground. “How dare you?!”

Summary
It had hit her just after she’d gone to patch up Franc in his room–when she’d gone to see how Alinor was faring with Xantos, and the old bandit had been looking so gods-be-damned pleased with himself and his latest row with his ex-second. She didn’t know how she’d missed it before: the wide smile, the devil-may-care countenance, the relaxed slouch in the way he held himself… These damn fights were Xan’s way of blowing off steam. Of fucking course that’s how he’d go about it. Wouldn’t want to put more on her or the lad, right? Trouble them with his issues? Assuming he was thinking that much about it in the first place.
But it wasn’t working, was it?

In which Xantos and Osprey get down and dirty, at least Alinor put them in the room with the thickest walls.Series

Summary
"She bROKE my HAND!” Ancano pointed, emphatically, at Osprey.
“AND I’LL DO IT AGAIN!” Osprey yelled again, ever more emphatically, almost stepping out from behind Xan.
“And y’ put your hands on my damn son!” Xantos snarled, taking another step forward. This time all of the Thalmor took a step back. “Of course m’ damn wife defended him!” Xantos roared.
That distracted Osprey for a moment. Wife? …Right. The cover. …Seemed like an odd time to be sticking to it, but, sure.
The whispering amongst the faculty did not go unnoticed, and Osprey could feel judgemental eyes on them. “Of course that would be the woman who raised Sybil.” Faralda whispered to another man. “I don’t know why I was surprised.”
“Step back, or get thrown!” Xantos said, voice tight.
“Now, Ashborne” The Archmage started, but one of the thalmor stepped forward, as if he thought the mages would be on their side. Osprey hardly even heard the intake of breath before the words rang out, echoing off the walls of the chamber:
“FUS RO DAH”
-The Gang touches on some quests that may become relevant later while looking for Sybil.

Summary
The ruined city of Saarthal was an archaeological marvel, if one was into that sort of thing. It was the site of the first city built by Atmorans on the whole of Tamriel. That had to count for something, right? Sure, nowadays it was little more than the stones peeking out of the metric fuck ton of snow and the ruins of a city that had been burned out of spite, but… The history. The gods-be-damned history. Carved into every fucking stone, or whatever. Oh, all the pieces and shards of pottery, oh the old rusted cutlery, oh the... really old rocks.
Unfortunately, Murray couldn’t really appreciate all that history at the moment; he was too busy freezing his testicles off.

You're Gonna Go Far, Kid by CalicoKitty402, TheFearsomeJabberwock, yelloskello
Fandom Elder Scrolls, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
12 Jun 2026
Summary
The great doors of Dragons Reach swung open, pillars lining a massive mead hall with great arching ceilings and balconies above. Once upon a time, in Skyrim’s more peaceful days, it would be host to every Jarl in the province, great moots held to determine the fate of Skyrim’s people.
As it was, the hall was empty save a single older man sitting upon a carved wooden throne and the court wizard in sleep clothes who went to stand behind him. His eyes had drifted closed, his breathing gentle and soft as he leaned hard against his palm. Ireleth took the steps up the dais two at a time, coming over.
“So the dragon has been driven off?” he asked quietly as the guards pulled Xantos up the last flight of stairs. One pattered up further, moving behind the throne while holding Xantos’ sword.
“Killed, my jarl, and I have brought the ones responsible- you’re... you’re not going to like it, my jarl.” Irileth looked over her shoulder to where the collected misfits were standing. "One of the heroes is a companion, the other is a dunmer girl, and a small breton mage-”
“And the last one is Xantos Ashborne.” Balgruuf finished. “How in oblivion did he end up fighting the dragon?”

Summary
Jaskier never planned on being a father. Especially not to his best friend’s child.
Now he’s running from the ashes of Cintra, keeping a tiny princess safe, muddied, and full of energy, all while navigating tavern gigs, tricky magic, and a druid who thinks he knows best.
With a cheeky, distant presence whispering in his mind and a city full of questions, he has one goal: keep Cirilla alive and out of danger…
...and maybe find this Geralt of Rivia guy who is definitely not in Rivia. (Jaskier checked.)
A tale of soulmates, found family, and the chaos that comes when life doesn’t go according to plan.

Summary
Jaskier is finally free. After so long trapped in a form not his own he had begun to doubt which was his true self. But here he is, unshackled. The betrayals, violence, abandonment- the destruction his family wrought upon themselves and others, all of it left far behind. Jaskier is determined to enjoy this second chance. To bask in the beauty of life and ignore what horrors linger. Then he meets Geralt and things become complicated.
.........................................................
“They don’t exist.”
“Pardon?” The bard’s brown hair flops as he tilts his head.
Geralt bravely doesn’t sigh again. “The monsters in your songs. They don’t exist.”
For some reason that gets him a grin, “How do you know?”
Geralt stares at him.
“I’m a Witcher.”
The bard laughs, “So just because you’ve never seen them that means they don’t exist?”
“Yes.” Geralt says flatly.
“Agree to disagree.” The man says flippantly, “But I would love to hear more about the monsters you’ve fought.”
“No.” Geralt takes a drink desperately and finds he is almost at the bottom of his tankard. He contemplates whether it’s worth the coin for another. Probably not.
