…it was there until I edited it…I think. Okaaayyy, SE strikes again!
LOL SE is kinda epic that way…
YAY! Well I’m starting now, but I write slow enough, I’ll probably still be going by April, lol. If you’re serious (and even if you’re not, lol) here’s my email: emilywaldorf2021 @ outlook dot com I encrypted so robots can’t find it. Just omit the spaces and make the “dot” a . and there you go.
And if you didn’t mean it, just forget the whole thing, lol\
YO I WAS COMPLETELY SERIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET’S DO THIS IT’S GONNA BE EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We should have like writing marathons or something. XD OH! Or word wars like SE used to have when they were cool! XD (they’re still cool lol. the word wars were before my time…)
GOOD.
Good. Yes, very good. -Gandalf XD

February 27, 2022 at 12:30 am #148452solanelle@calidris@everyone where do I even begin lol
I’m going to go ahead and pretend Basil and Saskia are up to date with the events lol. Also, I’m officially removing Sasha. He’s so annoying and toxic and emotionally exhausting to write that I actually removed him from the story altogether. I’m pretty sure he won’t be missed lol
Also, Basil and Saskia have both changed a lot in the time that I’m gone, so I’m going to go ahead and update their appearances. Basil is now wearing very expensive and fashionable clothes (this is very relevant lol) and Skia now looks something like this:
@denali-christianson WHYYYI mean that was so good but you didn’t just kill off Yila. That was like the worst (and by that I mean the best) possible way for her to die :'(
@emily-waldorf Aww I’m so proud of Quin! I’m so happy to know that he develops and becomes strong and confident. He deserves it after all he’s been through!
@mamaauthoress I would love to continue Basil’s interactions with Ruan, but I’m planning on introducing the antagonist from him and Saskia’s story as one of the captives. After that interaction I would love to have them chat some more! Idk if I ever told you this but your meme absolutely made my day! I was having a rough time socially and I came home and saw your meme, and I absolutely believe that God used it to cheer me up and let me know that I have a community here where I am loved and appreciated. Thank you so much for making it!*laughs as one fey*

HEY, I mean I’m glad to know that I wasn’t the only who found her death deeply awful. and traumatizing. and perfect. XD I’m also glad to know that it was like THE BEST possible way for her to die… 😀
AND I’M BUTTING INTO THIS CONVERSATION YES YOU’RE SOOO WELCOME HERE, BRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love seeing your posts and your characters are awesome and WE LOVE YOUUUU!!!!!!!!! 🙂

February 27, 2022 at 12:46 am #148454solanelle@calidris@denali-Christianson RIGHT? Like first of all, burning to death is an absolutely horrific way to die, but she wasn’t even completely dead afterwards! And this all happened RIGHT IN FRONT OF NIAROK
Poor Niarok, who tried so desperately hard to protect her, to restrain her. It’s absolutely horrific and it’s very, very good
I’m not going to say it’s perfect though, because it broke my heart :'(
And it makes me so happy to hear that! I’ve been feeling more and more socially isolated in in-person groups recently, and just as it started getting worse God provided me with Story Embers. I can’t even begin to express how much I love and appreciate you and all of the other amazing people in this chaotic little forum we have here! I’m so thankful for this community we have here, and I’m also very thankful to be able to get to know you guys’ stories like this!
Also, you say my characters are awesome but I’m warning you ahead of time that Basil has somehow, against all odds become e v e n m o r e insufferable, but tbf it has a lot of context in story. Just a heads up though lol
ALSO I have more Basil art and plenty more coming up for a school project (what can I say, he’s fun to draw xD) so let me know if you guys want to see more character art 🙂

MY THOUGHTS!!! I had to figure out some way to kill her that would leave Niarok completely torn up and struggling and then this happened. I was NOT expecting the burning to death and then well…
you know…
the story happened…
MY POOR NIAROK THOUGH
Oh I don’t feel like knowing how the story goes now… 🙁

Same. Fair. Very very fair. 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I’m so happy that we’re making your life a little better! 😉 GOD DOES THAT AND IT’S AWESOME AND I LOVE HIM lol I had no idea how much impact SE was going to have on my life either but then I became friends with all of y’all and… wow. Just… wow. 😀 THANK YOU FOR BEING AWESOME!

Oh goodness. THIS MAKES ME HAPPY and also very very very terrified… XD I can totally see Evie and him butting heads multiple times in the space of five minutes right after everyone finishes dying and burning and freeing and/or killing captives and- well, you get the idea. XD
ALSO I have more Basil art and plenty more coming up for a school project (what can I say, he’s fun to draw xD) so let me know if you guys want to see more character art
YES SHOW US THE BASIL ART!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVES THE BASIL ARTSSS!!!!!!!!!!! XD

Thank YOU for being awesome, you and everyone else here! You guys are the best!
Evie and Basil have some very drastic differences in their backstories and living situations, but they also have some parallels, so this is going to be really interesting!

I thought you were going to kill her, but somehow I didn’t expect you to actually kill her. And just…wow. All I can say is I sure hope this isn’t cannon, or I will jump right into your story and…and…and…Oh, bother! (Roses. Remember. And you want lilies.)

I’m honestly really really really excited to see how this goes!!! Sooo curious… 🙂 I’m really curious to see how Evie 2.0 responds to Basil. So far she’s just pointedly ignored his entire existence… 😀

February 27, 2022 at 3:36 am #148462solanelle@calidris@everyone I’m going to skip over the *cough current events cough* because I have a v e r y s p e c i a l a n t a g o n i s t I want to write asap, plus I frankly don’t even know how to write their reactions lol
Saskia:
I stop short, peeking out from behind Basil’s coat. There’s another figure crumpled at the chipped base of a looming pillar. I don’t know who these captives are, and why everyone seems to hate them, but no one deserves to be lizard food. The second dragon is a ways away, seemingly distracted by the others. Tough luck. This is turning out messy either way, but at least I have the benefit of knowing exactly when and where to shut up.
“Basil.” He flinches as I grip his elbow, inky gaze slowly filtering back to reality. He bends over, ear tilted to my voice. “There’s still someone trapped over there.” Basil nods slowly. “We should go save them,” I whisper. He narrows his eyes. Just what he was thinking. I flinch as his head shoots up, tilting and craning as he strains for a view. There’s something familiar about the person, and I think Basil noticed it too. He’s locked on, like he only does when something’s really, really interested him. If I’m being honest, I’m curious too. The captive is dressed like an official of Spire, with a classy leather coat and a sharp officer’s cap pulled over their eyes. I shoot Basil a tense glance. Should we? Basil blinks, eyes still locked on the prisoner. I don’t think he saw me, but I’m willing to bet he’s thinking the exact same thing.
I don’t want to leave this person to die, whoever they are, but I don’t exactly want to approach them either. I know if Basil really wants to approach this person, there’s no stopping him, and yet for all his interest…
Something’s holding him back.
Basil’s arm suddenly tenses under my grip. “Skia,” he whispers. His voice is weak, dripping with excitement. “It’s Dr. Corvo!” A rush of adrenaline sears my heart, pulsing throughout my body. Basil beams down at me, eyes glowing with purest joy. My lips twist in a lifeless smile. In a flash, he’s twisted out of my grip and is running straight for the pillar.
Freakish. That’s how they always described him, back before I knew anything about this golden boy, this so-called apex of Project Goldenseal. And seeing him streaking across the marble like rain on glass, I can’t say I disagree. It’s in his DNA, after all.
I follow at a safe distance. I can’t say I’m exactly thrilled to see the man. Some might say I should be grateful that he even hired me at all, after the trouble I caused him back in the labs. But I don’t think that’s true. He hired me because he knew I loved Basil. He took a calculated risk because he knew I’d desperately jump at any chance to see that boy again, and he was right. He didn’t tell me he took that boy and thoroughly ruined him. He didn’t tell me he tried stitching him back together with gold chains, that he tried padding his broken heart with cashmere and crisp new bills.
Dr. Corvo made a thorough mess of Basil, and I’m just the cleanup crew.
Off in the distance, I see him look up as Basil gently picks through his chains. My stomach turns as he stiffly reaches up, his gloved hand gently, hesitantly ruffling his curls. Basil melts, just like he always does at that simple gesture.
I wonder how long it’s been since that little ritual became another task to the Doctor. It seemed so soft and loving back in the labs, but now it seems like he can barely stand touching him. Sometimes I try to wonder what changed, but deep down I already know the answer.
He took my sweet Basil and turned him into a spoiled brat.

@denali-christianson that’s honestly a very fair and valid response xD I’m looking forward to it as well! I don’t want to give anything away, but I think they have a lot more similarities than either of them would like to admitthat picture is FIRE I love it!!!!
Aww thanks! It took so long, but I’m very, very pleased with how it turned out! It definitely pushed me, but in a fun way instead of a tiring and exasperating way lol

Everyone here is just trying to break my heart….
Without darkness, there is no light. If there was no nighttime, would the stars be as bright?
