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

Re: The Wolf Queen Awakens 16.8

“Why not take the city,” she said quietly, ideas starting to come together. “Come on, you ruled Markarth once, Windhelm's about the same size, how many people do you think you'd need to serve as its new guard force if the old one were to be... unavailable?”

“Around three hundred to rule a peaceful city, likely more if we had to seize it,” Madanach replied, looking very thoughtful as he began to realise just what she was suggesting. “We took Markarth with five hundred of us. But Delphine, that took years to plan, time spent putting people in place, slowly replacing the Nords' servant class with our people and the Nords never noticed because one Reachman's much like another, right? We had a whole slum neighbourhood in place full of disaffected people tired of Nord rule. We still do. But Windhelm?? Ulfric's stronghold? A city full of Nords where my people are going to stick out like a sore thumb? In a few weeks? You ask a lot, Delphine.”

“It's not just Nords live there,” Aela said, speaking up for the first time, eyes aglow. Clearly a topic close to her heart. “There's a whole quarter, used to be the Snow Quarter but they gave it to the Dunmer refugees and never bothered maintaining it again. They call it the Grey Quarter now – it's little better than a slum and it's full of disaffected Dunmer being horribly ill-treated by the Nords. Not to mention the docks – Nord sailors aplenty but the dockers are all Argonians who aren't even allowed in the city. You think Windhelm is all Nords who love Ulfric and Talos? Think again.”

Madanach had gone very still, eyes wide and a smile starting to creep across his face as Skyrim's undisputed expert on exploiting ethnic tensions to spur armed revolution began to process all this.

“If we snuck supplies and people in via the docks, got the Argonians and Dunmer to hide them for us...” Madanach began. “Only we'd need ships, Delphine, the Reach is landlocked, we're not sailors.”

“Now that we might be able to help with,” Delphine said, already plotting the first stages. “The East Empire Company has an office in Windhelm, but it's not doing so well of late. Something to do with pirates strangling the shipping lanes and Ulfric doing nothing because prominent Nord families in the city are doing very well out of it and the last thing he's going to do is help the Empire's traders. Do you know, I think the East Empire might be grateful for a little assistance. Grateful enough to bring in a few extra trading supplies for you – if we tell them you're a covert ops unit from High Rock there on General Tullius' orders to try and unseat Ulfric and administer the place until Tullius can get there.”

Madanach's grin broadened and he burst out laughing.

“All right, I like you, Talos-worshipper. Elisif's adorable and going to be a fine queen, but she's got no head for strategy. You, on the other hand, you're good. My – the Dragon-Queen's in good hands. Listen, keep plotting and I'll do likewise. See if you can send some people to Windhelm and find us a few allies, while I look into the logistics of sorting out five hundred or so Forsworn for a new uprising. I did promise Elisif I'd stop Forsworn attacks on civilians in the Reach while she got us our kingdom. I'll need something to occupy them in the mean time. This will do nicely.”

It would indeed, it just relied on Delphine persuading the Dunmer of Windhelm, Argonians of Windhelm and the Windhelm East Empire Company that everyone could profit from this. Good thing she now had a Dunmer at her disposal, not to mention the best scam artist in Skyrim. As soon as Brynjolf got back, Delphine would need to sit down and start planning this out. Just like old times.

He'd been gone a while. Delphine hoped he was all right out there. Maybe he was a flexibly-moralled charmer obsessed with coin... but he was her amoral charmer. If anything happened to him, they'd have her to deal with, and Delphine had very little forgiveness left to spare.

~~~~~~~~

A/N: And there you have it, the plotting has begun. Speaking of Brynjolf, he'll be back next chapter. You know I said I wasn't going to involve the Guild much? Change of plan. There's going to be a Thieves Guild subplot. Isn't it exciting?
