skyrimkinkmemeANNOUNCEMENTS: 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 Writing On The Wall - Notes
Date: 2013-03-08 02:46 am (UTC)When Alduin returns, Akatosh needs to deal with him, but Aedric gods (the Nine) aren't allowed to manifest on Mundus. However, since Martin is part-mortal, there's nothing to stop Akatosh sending him in His place. Also, sending a Dragonborn human to remove him is the most humiliating punishment that Akatosh can think of for his wayward son. So He picks up Martin's soul from Aetherius, resurrects him, and drops him into 4E 201 Skyrim. Akatosh realises that having Martin wandering round thinking he's the Emperor would do him the power of no good, so blocks most of his memories. As a result, the poor man is amnesiac and knows little about himself other than his first name and the fact that he's a priest of Akatosh. Hadvar has been following him since Helgen because *he*'s highly shaken up by the events there, especially seeing Ralof again. Also, he has an odd feeling that Martin is somehow Very Important, even though neither of them know who he really is, and he's convinced that if he lets Martin wander around Skyrim by himself, he might accidentally get killed through his own ignorance.
If the story seems to start and end a bit abruptly, that's because it's part of YET ANOTHER a novel-length fanfic - yes, I still have my Oblivion novel to finish and post, and I've started one for Skyrim as well. Woe is me!
As far as I'm aware, the question of whether or not non-Dragonborn followers can hear the Word Walls is not adequately covered by Lore. One character in the game, Jawanan in Solitude, mentions Volskygge and says "Inside, there is said to be a wall, black as night. And it speaks! In the ancient Dragon tongue!". But he also says "I hear there is a city, Wind-Helm (sic), that is nearly white with... What do you call it? Ah yes! Snow." Would you take the opinion of a man who lives in Skyrim and has never seen snow seriously? Also, Volskygge is inhabited by a Dragon Priest, and who's to say it's not him that adventurers have heard speak?
The one in-game book I could find which talks in detail about Word Walls, Dragon Language: Myth No More by Hela Thrice-Versed, specifically mentions observing the pulsing of energy and feeling the power of the magic, but nothing about hearing singing/chanting. So this may be unique to Dragonborns. However, if anyone else chooses to work with this prompt, feel free to write it however you like :)
AND YES, LIVEJOURNAL, I AM A HUMAN - WHY HAVE YOU ASKED ME THAT 7 TIMES IN 8 COMMENTS? Damned thing. Also, Part 7 is exactly 4300 characters :D

Date: 2013-03-11 04:52 pm (UTC)I'm glad you liked it anyway :) Since I'd had the idea before your prompt, I wasn't sure if it was exactly what you were after. And I do rather have a Thing about Martin *she says, kicking the 6 finished stories and 3 unfinished stories and 2 terrible drawings and 5 good drawings commissioned from people who can actually do art under the table*. Glad that he was a pleasant surprise rather than intrusive.

Re: The Writing On The Wall - Notes
Date: 2013-03-11 04:46 pm (UTC)"Yes, sweetie," I reply. "The Martin... as in Septim."
"Oh!" He gets a conspiratorial look on his face, one that I recognise from all these months of him living in my head. "How many of me does she think there are?"
"I don't know?" I'm confused, and more concerned with playing my game.
"Tell her," he grins, blushing a little, and I just know he's going to make a terrible pun based on one of the books he's read recently. "Tell her I'm not the Martin, I'm a Martin - we come in six packs!"
"I'm sure the fangirls will be delighted to hear that," I mutter, reaching for my laptop to type it in.

Re: The Writing On The Wall - Notes
