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

The black and red leather-clad Argonian swore as he threw the fur to the floor, pulling his dagger clear and moving in for another strike. Unfortunately for him, Elisif wasn't the helpless little girl of a few weeks previously. Elisif was Dragonborn now, she'd seen combat, fought for her life for real, and these days when she saw reptilian features, she saw dragon and reacted accordingly.

“FUS RO DAH!” she Shouted at him, sending the Argonian flying. Dawnbreaker was gleaming away on its weapon plaque above her bed and Elisif grabbed it, casting the one mage armour spell she knew and moving in for the kill. The Argonian barely had the chance to move before Dawnbreaker stabbed down and skewered him. Then the doors burst open and Falk was there with Bolgeir and half a dozen guards at his back.

“Elisif!” he gasped, seeing the dead man on the floor in a pool of blood, and Elisif standing there with a sword in her hands looking like she was about to faint.

“Falk,” Elisif whispered, feeling like she was going to be sick any second now – her room, oh gods, her own bedroom and someone had tried to – tried to... She sank on to the bed before she actually did collapse.

“Elisif,” and Falk was there, sitting next to her, arms around her while Bolgeir started going over the rest of the room to make sure no one else was hiding anywhere, and the guards picked the body up and carried it away. “My gods, Elisif, what happened, are you all right?”

Elisif shook her head, shaking all over. Someone tried to kill me. They tried to kill me in my own palace!

“I was going to go to bed, but it was dark,” she whispered. “The lamps were out, so I cast a magelight, and then I saw him in the mirror and he went for me with a sword and... and I Shouted and grabbed Dawnbreaker and killed him...”

“We heard the Shout and came running,” Falk said grimly. “Gods, Elisif, if he'd killed you...”

Elisif didn't reply. She couldn't say anything, she was too choked to speak. An assassin, here, in Solitude. Dressed in red and black. She knew which group of assassins were said to wear that.

Dark Brotherhood. Someone took out a contract with the Dark Brotherhood. Oh gods. Everyone knew of the Dark Brotherhood, the feared guild of assassins who struck without warning and always killed the target eventually. Who never gave up, who could always find you, who didn't stop until you were dead. And now someone was paying them to kill her. She didn't know who, had no idea. Someone with money, that was for sure. Someone who might profit from it. Quite possibly someone in her own court, in fact the more she thought about it, the more she thought it had to be someone in Solitude. She'd come back from High Hrothgar different, Falk had said. Different? Not afraid any more, was how she'd come back. Less willing to be bossed around, told what to do, treated like a child. Could be someone thought this new Elisif was a liability. An inconvenience. An obstacle. Especially since the whole Meridia situation when she'd been swept into the sky in front of Captain Aldis and half the guard, deposited back outside and had to explain the situation away quickly. She'd just said it was a sign the gods were pleased with her and they'd given her the sword to help wipe out all Skyrim's foes and make Skyrim a freer, happier, better place. They'd all responded with cheers and the story had started going around that she'd been given a divine mission to heal Skyrim and purge it of corruption. She'd not minded that at all at the time... only it was beginning to occur to her not all the corruption was on Ulfric's side.

“Falk,” she whispered. “Falk, when Bolgeir's finished checking the room, could I have a bit of time alone in here? I – I need to think, need to gather my wits. Suppose I need to get my things together too, I can hardly sleep in here now.”

“We'll move you to the guest room once we've secured it,” Falk reassured her. “And in the morning we'll have a full inquiry, I promise you.”

Elisif nodded, smiling weakly as Bolgeir announced the room clear and everyone else filed out. Her smile faded as soon as the door closed, and she immediately grabbed her armour off the mannequin, swiftly getting changed. Next her weapons, then her pack of potions, coin purse, never mind food, she'd eaten at the Embassy and she could buy food anywhere. She scribbled a note to Falk, telling him she was sorry but she didn't know who to trust and needed to be somewhere safe for a bit. She truly was sorry to do this to him, the poor man would likely be worried, but for all she knew he was in on it. At least she'd sent Erandur home prior to the party, so he'd be safe, but on the other hand, she could have used the company. Never mind. It wasn't like she didn't have friends elsewhere. Delphine would likely not be pleased at her fleeing the city in terror, but it wasn't like she had much choice.

Prising the window open, Elisif climbed into the window frame, sitting awkwardly in it with her legs over the side.

“FEIM!” she cried, turning ethereal and then she was falling to the courtyard, gasping as she landed but unharmed. Guards were turning to look, drawing weapons and that was no good at all, probably they were just doing their job but what if some of them were Brotherhood agents? It was a risk she couldn't afford to take. Fortunately she had an invisibility potion on her. Knocking it back, she faded from view and fled into the night, racing for the side gate to the docks. Time to get out of Solitude before this city claimed her life as well as Torygg's.

~~~~~~~~~~~

A/N: And there's a bit of a cliffhanger, hmm? I needed a reason for Elisif to leave Solitude and then I remembered the Dark Brotherhood assassins that attack you on the road after Dragon Rising and thought 'bingo!'

Poor Razelan, I do feel very sorry for him, but he'll be all right. Especially after he hears about the break-in and realises it was part of a set-up, at which point he's too impressed to hold it against Elisif for long.

So where will Elisif go next. Back to Delphine, another visit with the Greybeards, or maybe join up with the Companions again. I hope it's the Companions, because then maybe they'll finally get around to RESCUING RIA! She seems to have been completely forgotten!! :-(

*Ahem* anyway, great chapter as always. That kind caring facade of Elenwen's seems especially chilling in retrospect of that ending. I have a feeling she may have been the one to hire the brotherhood. If Elisif can find her courage again then wiping them out will be another great boost for her popularity in Skyrim (god knows the guards in the game never shut up about it after that quest!)

I haven't forgotten Ria, don't worry! I's just the story isn't ready to go to Windhelm yet. But don't worry, I have plans in place for her. They just need time to mature.

I wouldn't say Elisif has lost her courage exactly - but she does need help and she's a sitting duck in Solitude. Hence the fleeing into the night. But she'll be doing a few brave things next chapter.

Nah. Elisif needs to find a relatively place where she can take stock, hone her skills, and remain off the grid until she's ready to move. Also, a place where the Brotherhood isn't likely to look, with people far enough removed from the /currently acknowledged/ troubles that they won't second guess (much) a wealthy but at the moment still green warrior so long as she helps out.

Jorvasker is too public and Sky Haven Temple isn't available yet. So I am of course speaking of Fort Dawngaurd. Get some use out of Dawnbreaker. And show me the DB operative with the balls to risk getting in range of Isran, who himself would probably happy as hell to have Jarl Elisif helping the cause, and perfectly willing to grant her some cover.

That and Serana would be a just outright *mean* suckerpunch for Elisif to pull on her enemies.

Elisif meets Serana?! That should be very interesting, considering her opinion of necromancers and the undead. By the sounds of it she'll be making an exception for Serana, but who wouldn't?

Aw, now I'm tempted to write it because it would be awesome, but alas I don't think I'm going to have the chance. Elisif would never side with Harkon, but she'd get on with Serana. Someone else who'd had their destiny chosen for them.

I'm the anon who said Diplomatic Immunity is one of my favorite quests, and your version did not disappoint! Delphine's history with the Thieves Guild is so plausible, Brynjolf is the tailor-made for a schmoozing/sneaking job, and the assassin at the end was an awesome twist (I suspect Erikur, personally, but there's so many people it could be). Can't wait to see the fallout from Bryn wreaking havoc in the Embassy. Really curious to see if Elisif is going to get her hands on Ulfric's dossier, and what she's going to make of it.

As a side note, your characterization struck me as especially good in this chapter. Brynjolf, Falk, and Elenwen are all standouts, especially the latter. She creeps me out anyway, but something about First Emissary "interrogation-isn't-actually-my-job-anymore-but-I-like-to-watch-for-kicks-and-giggles" Elenwen being all motherly and understanding just makes my skin CRAWL.

Thank you! It's entirely possible that dossier may come in to play later on, I just need to work out the fine details.

I've not really written a lot of Elenwen before so I'm glad her characterisation worked! At first I just thought it would be amusing to have Elenwen of all people comforting Elisif, but when you realise Elenwen developed those motherly and understanding and empathic characteristics not from raising kids but from interrogating her victims, it does get really rather creepy.
