Meme Announcements!

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

Little Stolen Things Part 2b (Vilkas)

Our father, Farkas called him. Still calls him. Vilkas isn't sure if he really believes it, or if he is simply content to use the nearest name. He envies his brother that. Even at five he understood what it meant to be a foundling. To be unwanted.

He understood abandonment, too, especially after the man who was not their father came home in a casket. He remembers being irrationally angry that they would not let him look inside. He remembers the flames of the Skyforge clawing towards the sky. Farkas cried; it's one of the few times Vilkas can recall wanting to hit his brother. He remembers a solemn Kodlak laying a hand on his scrawny shoulder. What do I care? he had snarled, before yet another person could express condolences. He wasn't my father anyway.

The other members of the Circle whisper about the wolf blood, the way some take to it more than others. The way it makes a man’s temper burn hotter. But Vilkas knows – with a grim certainty that he fears to put into words, lest he confirm it absolutely – that they are wrong. It is not the wolf inside that makes his human passions more feral. It is the human passions – despair, desire, simmering hatred – that make the wolf so dangerous. And none is more woven into the roots of his human soul than the hate like black and raging love he feels for Jergen. He hates him for promising to look after them, always. He hates him for lying, for leaving, for loving war more than he loved the children that were not his children. Maybe, just maybe, Vilkas thinks, once, he went to war because he wanted his children to be safe - and then he hates himself for thinking it, and Jergen for making him wonder. He hates him for pretending to be something he was not, so well that Vilkas could almost believe him. He hates him for making Farkas cry.

(But far more - caged and pacing like the wolf, unacknowledged, always there - he hates the Thalmor bastards who took him from them.)

OMG, loving Vilkas's characterisation here! Even as a boy, being all stoic and manly and yet with all those emotions seething away within. Excellent work and such a good job showing all the scars the war's left behind, even on those who didn't fight in it.

I bow to your creativity. This was both awesome and rings true. Thank you for writing it.
