    Just a place for all my story ideas and outlines that I may never write (mostly based on dreams I had or random spurs of inspiration).

    Summary

    In the Defernull AU….

    After showing up following a 7 year absence, Spamton thinks he can convince Tenna he’s a changed man. Tenna is not so convinced, but he sees an opportunity, and decides to “sweet talk” Spamton into signing a contract saying that he’ll never leave him again.

    Overtime, Tenna realizes how much he actually missed Spamton despite his effort to convince everyone that he hates his guts, and when Spamton slips back into old habits, he feels justified in punishing him.

    Summary

    Upon arriving back in Whitestone, Fredrick calls his third child to his side and says gravely, "My son, while I was gone I made arrangements for you to be married."

    Percival, who was raised in nobility and has always quietly feared this exact thing his entire life, sets his jaw and nods obediently. "Yes, Father," he says, and then holes himself up in his workshop to drink.

    Upon arriving back in Syngorn, Sildor calls the girl child to his side and says gravely, "My daughter, while I was gone I made arrangements for you to be married."

    Vex'ahlia throws a chair through a window.

    Or, the one where the Briarwoods never took over Whitestone, Thordak never destroyed Byroden, and two asshole nobles make a snap decision over whiskey. Percival struggles with his chronic emotional constipation and works on his tan, Vex'ahlia commits arson and sighs a lot, the de Rolo siblings win the award for Tal'Dorei's Least Helpful Peanut Gallery, and, eventually, there's a wedding. If they can all survive each other long enough to get to it.

    Summary

    In linguistics, a false friend is a word in a different language that sounds similar to a word in your own, but differs significantly in meaning. No word in any Eridian language could possibly be mistaken for English. But Erid absolutely has false friends.

    In his right mind, Grace would easily identify the mistaken assumptions inhibiting his integration on Erid. They are:

    1: A molecular biologist and a sapient rock can cobble together translation software that reflects the etymological nuance of an entire alien language.
    2: Eridians are enough like humans to have an area 51 and look forward to using it.

    Unfortunately, Grace hasn’t been in his right mind in years.

    Or: a ‘Return to Erid’ story where Grace struggles to touch down alone.
