I've been a bit behind with the meme, so I read your entire story in one go. You're a good writer, and I like the depth you're giving to the characters. Washing the dishes, indeed!
I also like stories which go outside of what is possible in the game, and particularly fix-it stories. There's no reason for Ulfric to be killed except that it's what the (bloodthirsty?) storywriters at Bethesda decided. So while I'm thanking you for your writing, I should also thank the OP for this prompt.
It did take Ulfric's comment of "Six hours?" and Audric's flush before I was certain that he'd been doing more with Brynjolf than simply drinking and catching up. As a great lover of slash I would like to see something a bit more overt. If you're not comfortable with writing explicit scenes, then perhaps you could include some cuddling or kissing? Though it doesn't even need to be sexual as such - just a longing glance or teasing pose, or thoughts in one of the characters' heads.

I shall be waiting impatiently for an update!
