ANNOUNCEMENTS: UPDATED 12/16/2017

Happy Holidays, fellow Kinkmemers! I have returned and have no reasonable excuse for my absence except LIFE. I will be working on updating the archives. If anyone sees anything amiss, please let me know.

I am also hoping to find another Mod and an Archivist.

The more dedicated people we have in this Meme the less chance of it dying. I admit that being the sole keeper of the Meme is not great for the fandom. If something were to happen to me, for good, this place would go the way of the Fallout Kink Meme. Let's not let that happen! If anyone would be interested in Modding/Archiving, please drop me a line. Thanks! <3

Call of the Blood 12.1/?

[(Anonymous)]

12. Grief

I woke in an unfamiliar bed, though the wooden ceiling hinted that I was back in Jorrvaskr. It was much bigger than my bed in the whelp room and I was utterly cocooned with soft pillows and blankets that carried a strangely comforting and familiar scent.

Vilkas

Groggily I pushed myself up, my head felt like tiny explosions were going off in it, my mouth was as dry as the Alik'r desert and my tongue felt like it was carpeted in fur.
"Go tell them she's awake."Njada's voice snapped me out of my stupor and I pushed myself up in time to see Torvar disappear out the room.
Njada's cool gaze swept over me, "How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine." My voice croaked like an old man's. I glanced down at myself, all traces of injuries van-ished, skin clean and covered in my own nightshirt.
"Falk Firebeard and Arcadia patched you up. You were pretty out of it, feverish and shouting."
"I don't remember. Where-?" I broke off, barely able to think.
Njada took pity on me, "The Circle are just finishing with Skjor's funeral. They wouldn't let us attend or pay our respects, told me and Torvar to keep an eye on you and Ria and Athis to go fetch supplies from the town. Kodlak said he'd check on you once they finished...Now drink this."

She thrust a bottle at me and I tasted one of Arcadia's bitter concoctions. Grimacing I drank it and Njada passed another foul tasting bottle and then some water, pure and refreshing. I drank it all, greedily, "Can I get some more, please?" Njada eyed me warily and nodded as she picked up the pitcher, headed for the door, "Stay there."

Eternity passed. I was hot. Burning. Like the silver. I cut off that thought before it dragged me down a dark path and tried to think rationally. Fresh air. Pleased that I had sorted that out I swung my legs out of bed, feeling as weak as a kitten, and gingerly stood. Something dark caught my eye and I glanced down to see that the floor was covered in dead crows. I couldn't make any sense of it, and my head spun but I forced herself to take a step and then another, trying to avoid the dead birds. After a painfully long time I managed to stagger to the door-frame and clung to it, trying to regain my bearings.

Left. I need to go left. Right, this may have been a mistake

I stepped out into the corridor, everything sounded like I was underwater and my head was swimming. Clutching the wall with one hand I kept staggering on.
"What are you playing at, you stupid girl?"

Ah, that sounds familiar.

"I'm fine, Grumpy." There were three blurs in front of me, two with black fuzz surrounding their head and one with grey. Farkas, Vilkas and Kodlak. "I just wanted some fresh air. But the birds kept getting in my way."
A gentle hand was laid on my head and Kodlak spoke, "You're freezing, Igne. You need to go back to bed."
I shook my head. Why couldn't they tell that I was on fire? "I'm fine. I just need some air."
Then I was scooped up and carried unceremoniously back down the corridor and dumped back on the bed before I could even register what was happening to me.
I glared at the blurs and at the potion bottle thrust at my face.
"Drink." That was Jarl Grump-face. I scowled and drank the vile thing and almost immediately the burning subsided and my head began to clear.

Call of the Blood 12.2/?

[(Anonymous)]

The blurs resolved into the three men, staring at me with varying degrees of concern.
"Feeling better, little Igne?" Even Farkas looked concerned. I nodded, faintly embarrassed at my earlier behaviour. "Good, Lyd would have dismembered me if we'd have got you killed. She worries about you."
I smiled weakly at him. Kodlak looked his usual composed self but Vilkas was still scowling at me.
"Did you have Skjor's funeral?"
Kodlak nodded, "We thought it best not to wait."
"And Aela?"
A shifty glance between the three of them hinted at an undercurrent I wasn't aware of. "Furious," the Harbinger shifted uncomfortably, "Igne, the Silver Hand...did they...hurt...you?"
It took me a moment to realise what he meant. I shook my head, fighting against the flash of memory of cruel prodding hands, "The others arrived just in time. Thank you, by the way."
"Any time, sister," Farkas patted me on the head.
Kodlak sighed, "I should go speak with the others. Farkas, you need to go tell Lydia that Igne's awake."
"With pleasure," Farkas winked at me and I smiled weakly. Both of them left, Farkas ruffling my hair as he did, leaving me alone with a silently fuming Vilkas.

Vilkas stared at me for a long time, expression unreadable, almost cold, "Why did you do it?"
"Do what?" He was angry. At me. And I didn't understand why.
"Take the blood." He shook his head, "You knew what it meant, why I hate it and you still took it."
I stared at him incomprehensibly for a moment before my brain kicked in, "I didn't take anything. Aela and Skjor made me."
If I thought I'd seen him angry before then I was sorely mistaken. His face darkened further, growling deep in his chest, "I'll kill her."

What? Shit!

He went to stride to the door but I was faster, scrambling out of bed and slipping in front of him, hands pushing against his chest in a attempt to stop him "Vilkas, please! Don't." He glared down at me, and I almost took a step back from the sheer fury in his face. "Vilkas. It's done. It's already cost Skjor his life and Aela will have to live with that knowledge. It's okay." I managed a small smile, "It's okay. Just calm down. Please." I wasn't sure why I added the next words but they slipped out anyway, "For me?"

The fury in his eyes was replaced instantly by shock, mirrored on my face and I felt my face flush, acutely aware of how close we were and of my hands now resting on his chest. I couldn't move. Couldn't breathe.

"I-" There was something fragile, delicate between us and I was terrified that that if I said the wrong thing it would break. So I did what I always did when things got complicated; I ran away.

Call of the Blood 12.3/?

[(Anonymous)]

I ran from Vilkas's room, leaving him standing in the doorway, head spinning with too many thoughts and unwanted feelings. He didn't follow or call out to me and part of me knew that he was as confused as I was about whatever was going on between us. My feet took me to Aela's room and I knocked, though I still wasn't certain what I wanted to say or even what I was doing there. The door opened and Aela was there, face pallid and drawn, fearsome warpaint washed away, "Igne. What do you want?"
"I just wanted to see how you are."

She didn't reply, staring at me impassively for a long moment before turning back round with a jerk of her head, leaving the door open. I entered the room, shutting the door behind me. Neither of us sat, both eying each other somewhat warily. Someone had to make the first move though and I blurted out, "I'm sorry Skjor died."
At the same time Aela said, "I'm not sorry I turned you."
"I didn't think for one second you were."

We glared at each other briefly and Aela was the first to drop her gaze, "I didn't know the Hand were waiting for you outside the Underforge. When we went to find you, you were gone but Skjor caught their scent, said he's follow them whilst I went and got the twins. He felt guilty, I think. He was a damn good man and he didn't deserve to die like that."
I nodded dully. Nobody deserves to die like that.
"Are you angry with us?" She sounded merely curious, that it didn't matter to her one way or the other what I felt.
"Yes. But I'm angry at myself mostly and I'm angry at the Silver Hand."
"They're still out there, you know. They have two more hideouts like that hidden away."
My eyes met hers.
"Kodlak is watching me. I'm being confined to quarters for the moment and all I want is for the bastards that did this to pay. All of them."
"So what do you suggest?"
"Fancy doing some hunting?"
A slow smile spread across my face, I was tired of being timid, tired of being weak and I wanted vengeance. Hunting sounded good.
"You know what? I think I do."
"I knew I could count on you, sister. Give me a day or so and I'll tell you the hunting ground."
She extended her hand to mine and I clasped forearms with her in a warriors embrace, "Partners?"
"Partners."

You posted just in time, my hands were beginning to shake, I was showing signs of withdrawal! This has become my addiction! So far it's everything I hoped for A!A! I can't wait to read more and feed my addiction *sighs in bliss*

I noticed a little error though (at least I think it's an error), you said Falk healed Inge, but I think you meant Farengar, the Jarl's court wizzard? Falk is Elisif's steward in Solitude, I doubt he'd be much help ;)

So now the hunt is about to begin, I'm so curious to see what you have planned, will she pull it off or will something go wrong, landing her in more trouble than she can handle? Will it be Vilkas to the rescue again? Owww I need more!

Re: Call of the Blood 12.3/?

[(Anonymous)]

DERP!A!A here!

You are absolutely right- it should be Farengar not Falk...that's what happens when you write at seven in the morning after twelve hours of work! I knew his name began with an F though...does that count? Thanks for the correction! :)

Igne's had enough of being the damsel in distress, of course with Igne's luck I think it's safe to say nothing's ever easy... ;)

Writing this prompt has become my addiction! When I first saw this prompt I thought it would be a nice little 5 chapter fill...and then it grew and grew...We need to set up KinkMemers Anonymous or something (we've got the anonymous part down!)

Re: Call of the Blood 12.3/?

[(Anonymous)]

Haha I know the feeling, but sometimes the muses just won't shut up and you have only one option, WRITE! ;)

Am I a bad person for secretly hoping the Silver Hand get another shot at torturing and/or raping Inge? Oh my... I am a bad person aren't I... I just can't help it, this Kink Meme has corrupted me! I just hope Hell will still have me...

KinkMemers Anonymous sounds good to me... I think I need it, especially after this delightful story!

Re: Call of the Blood 12.3/?

[(Anonymous)]

Damn you muses! *shakes fist at the sky*

If you're a bad person what does that make me? ;) KinkMeme has corrupted me too...some of the things I have written in here, if anyone I knew found out... o.O' well, awkwardness would ensue.

On a side note the first meeting of KinkMemers Anonymous will be held in next Tuesday, Room 5b, Second Circle of Hell, Hell. I'll be there and bringing chocolate covered Vilkas for dessert...

Re: Call of the Blood 12.3/?

[(Anonymous)]

No. No. NO.

I'm sorry but this is absolutely terrible characterisation. Aela would NEVER force a person to take the blood. Or did you MISS the part where they reassured you they won't make you?

You've butchered two characters in the name of plot progression. Aela is forceFUL but she wouldn't force someone. And Skjor is too rational to force a werewolf. I seriously can't believe you removed their characteristics like that. I'm disappointed, A!A.

Re: Call of the Blood 12.3/?

[(Anonymous)]

This is fanfiction, out of characterness is allowed and as long as it goes with the story I see no problem with it. A!A Did not butcher anyone, she chose to make some changes that may or may not fit the characters, but do go with the story. If you do not like it, no one is forcing you to read the story.

On another note you could have voiced your opinion in a much friendlier way (e.g. you would have preferred Skjor and Aela remained in character, or you believed their characters to be different or any number of things really), thus showing respect for the A!A working hard on this story.

Thanks for the support lovely Anon!

I don't do things by halves and I'm never nice about this. I've seen enough terrible fanfiction and characterisation destruction in the name of writing fanfic. It's not acceptable if you're a dedicated writer to simply change an entire character to fit your story. Muses fight and muses do what they want and forcing them to do what you want because it suits you is wrong.

Re: Call of the Blood 12.3/?

[(Anonymous)]

A!A here,

I understand where you're coming from but like the other Anon said; this is fanfiction (and unless you're the OP then sorry but tough luck! ;) If you are OP then sorry!). Skyrim is a wonderful game but characterisation of the NPCs is somewhat neutral in order to allow the gamer choice in the open world setting and as such you can project your own ideas onto them. And the great thing about that is it can change. I love Aela and Skjor but in this universe they did what they did to Igne for a reason (and what they believe to be a rational one at that); the Silver Hand are meant to be a huge threat to the Companions in this story but in game they attack the Companions just once (to introduce them and lead to the werewolf side of the plot).

I am writing a story where the Silver Hand are a continuous threat to the Companions with active plots against them and the Circle are aware of this but they are not the aggressors (unlike in the game). Kodlak is trying to remove the Beast blood and Farkas and Vilkas are also abstaining; in my head Skjor and Aela were frustrated with this and also with what they perceive to be a lack of action on this front- how many times does Kodlak mention the Hand? Or send you on a quest to fight them? The Circle is dwindling and Skjor and Aela believe that Kodlak is throwing away centuries of tradition and a great gift. So they did what they thought they had to do and as soon as it was done Skjor felt guilty and went looking for her. As for Aela she still is convinced she gave Igne a gift and that it will help save her life. Her attitude may change slightly over the next few chapters but she is grieving and stubborn and needs vengeance.

There are conversations later on that explain this more and delve into Aela's mindset so either keep reading and trust me somewhat or stop reading. You are entitled to your opinion, so am I. It may not be what you want from a fanfiction. There will be more plot changes. There may be more of what you perceive to be OOCness. I am enjoying writing this and I will continue to do so (well until OP asks me to stop- I am their personal chef and they can fire me :p)

Re: Call of the Blood 12.3/?

[(Anonymous)]

The trouble with anonimity.... I forgot to say it was OP that did not agree with the comment and showed her support. Like I said if it fits with the story I don't mind ooc at all, in fact sometimes it's better for the story as a whole. OP loves the story and won't even consider firing, you're stick with me A!A ;)

Re: Call of the Blood 12.3/?

[(Anonymous)]

Phew! I didn't want to get fired! I'm having far too much fun.

And thank you for the support :D

Re: Call of the Blood 12.3/?

[(Anonymous)]

I reiterate my point: Do not butcher someone's characteristics because 'plot progression.' I don't care if I'm not the OP, and the Companions definitely DO NOT have neutral personalities.

You could have done this different ways; Igne didn't have to be FORCED to take the blood. She could have thought it over and changed her mind. Instead you decided Aela and Skjor were forcible people, not patient warriors, and changed their characters.

Did you ever consider that Kodlak doesn't mention the Hand until they're a problem because he doesn't want to be forced to come up against them? Or that Aela and Skjor know that forcing a werewolf can have disastrous consequences oh wait look what happened she got captured.

Aela's outlook on the wolf blood is that it's a great gift, yes, but not once does Aela ever force you to do anything in game. I severely hope her attitude changes back to her actual self, A!A. And I hope you don't butcher anyone else because if you really enjoy writing these characters you'll accept their given personalities and not try to change them.

WARNING! The fanfiction you are about to read is FAKE. All the places, characters, and events are more or less fictitious in their presentation and you are expected to know it never happened. It's not a biography, people, and it's sure as hell not canon; it's fanfiction. Expect nothing but lies. LIES! And made up stuff. And dialogue that never happened in game. P.S. You cannot refund time, so if I end up wasting yours, then do us both a favour and get over it. Don't whine about it in the comments underneath- people reading this Meme don't want to read your arguments on how I should write my own story stuck in between their beloved fics on flat view. This is a happy place where people can write whatever the hell they want even if it's about Alduin's forbidden love for sweetrolls P.P.S. This fanfiction contains strong depictions of arson, murder and jaywalking and readers who may be offended by this are advised to seek therapy if they should accidently read this. But I could be lying. I do that sometimes ;)

And thank you lovely Anons and OP for your support! <3

Re: Call of the Blood Disclaimer

[(Anonymous)]

I'd totally read a fic about Alduin's forbidden love for sweetrolls.

Oh my, so much drama since the last time I was here. Just wanted to voice my own support for A!A. I love this fic and I love what your doing with it. It's definitely your own while being believable.

I am eagerly awaiting the next chapter.

Re: Call of the Blood Disclaimer

[(Anonymous)]

I'd read any fic about sweetrolls to be fair...mmmm...sweetrolls...and it would explain why Alduin's so cranky all the time ;)

Thank you for the support and I'm so glad you love it! Phew! :)

Re: Call of the Blood 12.3/?

[(Anonymous)]

I looked forward to these chapters! I like the way you're describing your characters, and I think Aela is very realistic, I always thought she was like a wolf in a cage while I was playing, and certainly she had a character type what you described! I'd like to write a chapter for the thoughts of vilkas while recounting his feelings of igne to farkas! to understand how he has heard from Markarth up to today! I know that she is going to make yet another silly but he will be there for her, I know! please update soon and good luck!

Re: Call of the Blood 12.3/?

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you, I'm glad you're still enjoying it! Wolf in a cage is a good way to describe Aela :)

Igne is about to make a very big silly...but it's a fun silly and I need to write something fun and light-hearted after the week I've had ;)

Re: Call of the Blood 12.3/?

[(Anonymous)]

I read and reread your story and I love it more and more, and that makes me impatient. oh please I know you're busy but if you can give us new chapters soon! hehe!

Re: Call of the Blood 12.3/?

[(Anonymous)]

this is fantastic! the beginning of vengeance! igne not make mistakes! ahaha! you are great, your story is a drug and I'm looking forward to the new chapters! and of course I look forward to the time when vilkas will have to deal with igne! and that feeling for her that makes him so mad!

Re: Call of the Blood 12.3/?

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you! <3

Well as we all know, her plans don't always work out like she wants ;)

Things will be heating up in a couple of chapters, especially now that they are both realising they have feelings for each other. Of course they're still both stubborn idiots so certain things need to happen first...

Re: Call of the Blood 12.3/?

[(Anonymous)]

it would be nice if you wrote something fun and I'd love to see them burn with passion, those two are really so stubborn and shy! I really love your story and your characters just as you describe them! good job waiting for you!

Re: Call of the Blood 12.3/?

[(Anonymous)]

noooo! why did you run small igne? your story has become my addiction, I look forward to new chapters!
