"The General's Muse"
Tumblr media
Some old Diplomatic Immunity art I made a long time ago. I realized that the arc is very, very, far away so... Take it.
Also, the next chapter is going flawlessly despite being a pain in the butt to write. I should be ready to upload it soon! ❤️

"Emperor Titus Mede II is dead. Twice now have members of the Imperial family been murdered while Aesatel stood helplessly by. In the wake of such tragedy the Empire would grow weaker than ever, something she will not allow to happen. On that day, she makes a promise that will put her on a bloody path she never wished to walk - a path that can never be un-tread."
A little exploration into how and why my Dragonborn, Aesatel, ended up joining the Skyrim Civil War.

General Tullius as a Father Headcanons
(I’m so sorry if this is total ass, I really haven’t had much interaction with him because I tend to do stormcloak playthroughs.)
Is a very stern father, not to the point of being ridiculous but he firmly believes his children will thrive better with order.
He’s pretty darn busy most of the time but he does his best to make time for his family.
One of his favorite things to do while stationed in solitude is take you and his babies on a walk around the city. It is the prettiest and most mild weathered city in all of Skyrim so might as well enjoy it.
Tries to keep it hidden from his children but sometimes he is so scared to lose them he becomes restless and finds himself begging the divines in the temple to keep his family safe.
Though his children won’t technically be royalty, they sure will be treated as such. Following imperial traditions they’ll all be educated to the highest possibility and clothed in the finest red silks and linens.
If you have a daughter she may not have the liberty to learn to fight like a soldier but Tullius will be sure that she is protected at all times.
In addition to this, she may not need to learn to sword dance at all because he would be damned if your children didn’t learn to utilise the thu’um. Their mother is a dragonborn for the eight’s sake.
Even with their fine clothes, your children will also probably be adorned in golden jewelry as well. He isn’t a king but with as high of a rank Tullius has you can guarantee he has some major riches.
There...there isn’t much leaving Solitude unless it’s to go directly south. He doesn’t trust Ulfric or his soldiers to not strike where it would hurt the most. So when you’re pregnant there isn’t going to be any adventuring if he has a say.
In the event that the imperials reign victorious, he will personally take his little family around Skyrim for a tour before immediately ushering all of you back to cyrodiil.
You probably have the best behaved kids in all of Skyrim. Like seriously, manners and cleanliness are staples of your life now.
Little gold and ruby matching circlets on your children’s heads.
Oh, don’t forget the occasional piggyback/shoulder rides given by Auntie Rikke.

Legends Don't Burn Down Villages pt 1

✨AO3 Link✨
Snippet:
As the pair ran through the courtyard, their footsteps were heavy as their feet touched the hot cobblestones beneath their feet. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, the Lady of Windhelm caught sight of a group of guards wearing blue cloaks. She turned to look and found herself locking eyes with her husband, who was running with his guards towards the main gates of the city.
For a moment, it seemed as if he might turn and run toward her, but just as he began to slow down, the dragon swooped down between them, dropping debris and forcing him to continue in his original direction. The sight of the dragon seemed to jolt her husband into reality, making him realize that fleeing from the city was the only option at the moment. Amidst the raging hell and utter chaos, his voice boomed as he shouted something towards his wife. However, his message was swallowed up by the deafening roar of the flames, leaving her unable to make out what he had said. Ulfric looked at her one last time, before frowning in frustration and running away with his men.

"I agree with him." Hadvar spoke, his eyes wide and still focused on the mountains. "We should find somewhere to rest. Away from that- whatever that was."
"Your suggestion is wise, soldier," the general replied, his gaze fixed on the mountains where the dragon had flown towards, his eyes betraying the calm of his voice. "We should set up camp for the night."

The Crimson Heart of the Dragonborn
Chapter 2: Helgen
Tumblr media
Snippet:
"Ulfric Stormcloak..." Tullius marched towards the Jarl, his furrowed brows giving away his disapproval as he stepped forward to confront him. "Some here in Helgen call you a hero. But a hero doesn't use a power like The Voice to murder his king and usurp the throne." His voice drips with disgust as he gazes up at him, golden eyes glaring into sapphire ones. "Nor does a hero abandon his family and his Hold to wage war."
Ulfric furrows his brow, clenching his teeth around the gag in his mouth as he struggles to speak.
"You started this war, plunged Skyrim into chaos, and now the empire is going to put you down, and restore the peace once and for all."
The Lady of Hold couldn't help but murmur a final apology to Ulfric, even though she knew he couldn't hear her. She understood that he wouldn't change, that his death was a necessity, yet she couldn't help but feel tears welling up in her eyes and her heart aching at the sight. Twenty years of marriage, the largest and most important chapter of her life, going to end with an executioner's axe.

Rikke: So, General... Are we all going to sit here and pretend you haven't been hilt deep into Ulfric Stormcloak's wife? Are we just going to pretend that Venus is a completely neutral and unbiased party in this?"

Rikke: Of course it was...

Chapter 4: Legends Don't Burn Down Villages (pt2)
🤍 AO3 Link 🤍
Tumblr media
I got bored so I'm back (sort of)
"Understood, sir," Hadvar replied as he surveyed the scene of the makeshift infirmary. He counted the number of healers tending to the wounded, the battlemage overseeing the operation, and the handful of infantrymen laying bleeding on the ground. The General's expression soured as he processed the low headcount. If that was all they had to work with, he knew their chances of escaping the keep were slim.
"Did Ulfric-"
Tullius, with a deep frown on his face, brought his hand up to rub the bridge of his nose in frustration. "Yes, he did," he said, answering the question with a heavy sigh. "Ulfric managed to escape, along with a good number of the other prisoners," Tullius spoke with a sense of urgency. "We must make our way to the nearest camp as quickly as possible."

Journey to Riverwood pt2
Finished the chapter!
Not my best work but eehh, perfection doesn't exist.
Snippet-↓
A lump formed in her throat as the evening cold crept up her shoulders, worsening the pain. It was a reminder of her treason, to Ulfric and their vows.
"Until death separates us, and Sovngarde unites us again. You and I will be together, in sickness and in health, in peace and war ."
Those words he'd say over and over when she began to miss her home. When she'd lay awake during the night, craving the warmth of Cyrodiil and the company of her fellow priests. Words that at first seemed terrifying given her age and situation, but that soon became a soothing reassurance that she was safe, that she was not alone. That she was home.
But at the time, it was only the two of them, now she had Bjorn and Hjalmar to think about, as well as her unborn child, and as a priestess and a mother she had to put her children first. Even if it meant breaking her vows and abandoning the man she had learned to love.

Venus: The way I would 🦆 him.
Rikke: ...
Venus: It is not even funny. I am a ride he wouldn't survive. The wheels would come right off.
Rikke: Lady Venus it is a painting.
Venus: The velocity with which I would rip off his toga and 🦆 him would be unparalleled.
Rikke: *traumatized*

"Perhaps we could discuss this matter privately in the war room, over a bottle of expensive wine and the cover of night." - Venus Aurelia to General Tullius
Tumblr media
"We should wait until the men leave to the barracks. We don't want guards walking in and interrupting our discussion, do we, lioness?"
"I would not mind them knowing what it is you really do in this war room when the lights go out, sir. After all, you did say you wanted to make clear to the legion that I was off limits."

"And I thought Skyrim's politics could not be more infuriating..."
"It is art, my sweet General. There is nothing more worthy of a theatric play than one of Ulfric's humilliating fits of rage."
This rivals to lovers story features Venus and Tullius bonding over their shared hatred for the rampant incompetence of half the people in the country. Siddgeir youre first on their hit list.
