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

Date: 2014-07-21 02:56 am (UTC)Therion frowned, the other foot clearly about to fall any moment.
“Nisain had a daughter, a lovely young dark elf woman named Dinere. Well, Farengar fell for her, and he fell hard, hopelessly drawn to the elf. Love at first sight. It wasn’t long before he proposed to Dinere and she accepted. However, Nisain…” the jarl trailed off with a sigh. “He forbade Dinere from marrying a human. Which surely hurt Farengar as badly as what followed. Dinere obeyed her father’s wishes, breaking off their engagement. Shortly after, Nisain accepted a position with the Mage’s Guild in Cyrodiil, and they left Skyrim.”
Balgruuf scratched his beard thoughtfully.
“Farengar was never outgoing, that’s just who he is,” the jarl added, “He prefers to be left alone to his books and research. Since then, however, it’s fair to say he’s guarded his heart more closely. He doesn’t trust anyone getting too close.”
Jarl Balgruuf finished his drink, stretching to his feet with a groan, Therion watching intently.
“You and I should hit the hay, we have an early date with some more Thalmor in the morning,” he said with excited anticipation, firelight gleaming in his armor.
Therion tilted his head back to look up at the jarl.
“Why did you tell me all of that?” he asked curiously.
“A man should know what he’s up against,” the jarl said in a warm voice. “And because I’d never have managed to convince my wife to marry a lout like me without some inside knowledge. Seemed fitting, to do the same for someone else.”
Therion watched him go in contemplative silence. After the jarl had settled into his tent, Therion slowly rose to his feet, feeling tired and light headed from mead, but significantly warmer. Reaching into his pack, he produced several thin, metal wires, and set to work creating trip wires within his tent. He was feeling decidedly paranoid about surprise, late night, Thalmor visits.
Although, perhaps paranoia was the wrong word for it; after all, you were only paranoid if no one was out to get you, and he knew first hand how far the Thalmor would go to get their hands on him. If they succeeded a second time, Ondolemar might not be there to soften the blow. So he settled for setting traps to wake him in the event an invisible agent slipped into his tent, trying to convince himself it was safe to sleep.

Date: 2014-07-23 06:48 am (UTC)I am very, very impressed. This isn't a kinkmeme fill, it's a novella. Rather than simply writing a couple of scenes involving the pairing in question, you appear to have scripted an entire story with a whole cast of characters, all of which are in character. There's absolutely no question that you've done your research. Also, the twists in the story are awesome and not predictable - I literally screamed when I read the part about Elisif getting killed!
I hope you will post this somewhere like Archive Of Our Own for easier bookmarking, because this is a story I'll want to read again and again :)

Date: 2014-07-23 08:27 pm (UTC)I do hope it remains a novella, and does not become a novel. I didn't intend to make it so long, but I am having a lot of fun with it. Grumpy, stubborn mage meets aloof, vexing spy; I don't get tired of that combo very easily!
It's on Fanfiction dot net under the same title. Sorry, I don't have an account with Archive of Our Own. Despite reading stories there, I'm terribly lazy =p
I'm honestly relieved anyone found this, all the way back on page 4. I thought my first fill would never see the light of day.
Oh lordy, research. I'm obsessed with researching things, to the point of ridiculousness. Most of what I know came from me going, "Wait, what? Is that true? To the internets!!!" as I read other stories. I've heard it said a lot of writers dread someone looking at their search history, which is absolutely true for me. Just looking at the history of words I type into the thesaurus alone makes me facepalm, knowing it anyone ever sees that, they will give me some decidedly peculiar looks.
Well, back to Chapter 13.
*drops smoke bombs and flees*
