tes summerfest day 1
breath or forbidden
Notes: Brief description of weird and unnatural eyes. No other warnings I can think of.
Miraak had to die. Solsthiem was only the beginning. Hermaeus Mora could not be trusted, but she had little choice.
Staring at the dim candle before her, Adri reminded herself over and over. Miraak had to die. It was the only way. Exhaustion clung to her. Three days since the standing stone. Three days since she heard his voice echo through her mind. Her eyelids grew heavy.
No! She could not sleep, not yet. Miraak had to die, and as Dragonborn she was the only one who could do it.
Adri returned her attention to the book of riddles in her lap, attempting to keep her mind occupied and alert. She slid her finger tips to the edge of the page, flicking slightly to turn it. The yellowed corner bit into her fingertip. Her eyes snapped shut at the sting.
Then, stillness. Her eyes opened slowly, to the sickly green glow of Apocrypha. Something was different this time. Mora's eyes did not speckle the swirling skies. There were no beastly librarians to greet her. No inky black pools. This chamber seemed far more like the libraries she was used to. Skeletal shelves filled with petrified books and well worn but readable tomes. All lining a pathway ending in a … desk?
Adri approached slowly. A single, low burning, candle was all that lit the space. The desk was covered in scrolls and scraps of paper, each covered in fragmented notes, scribbles, and sketches. Plans.
“You should not be here, Dragonborn.”
She stumbled, steadying herself against the desk as she turned to face Miraak. He loomed at the edge of the candlelight, only a few feet away.
“Are you afraid I'll learn your secrets?” She asked, mimicking the arrogance in his voice from their first meeting. He did not respond, instead inspecting the skies.
“Afraid you might be replaced by someone more powerful?”
“You have no idea -”
“The true power a Dragonborn can wield? You know nothing about me.”
Miraak stepped forward, closing the gap between them in only a few steps. A gloved hand resting on the desk beside her as he leaned into her space, his mask inches from her face.
“You have no idea what Mora is capable of.” His voice lowered to a whisper. “Nothing in Apocrypha remains unchanged by his will.”
His free hand pulled the golden mask from his face. Eyes eerily similar to Mora's, pupils elongated and scaleras blackened, stared into her. Ancient burns long since scarred over crept along pale cheeks that had forgotten the warmth of the sun. Black lips, as though permanently stained by ink, closed into a firm frown.
“Run while you still can, little dragon.”
Adri's hand raised to his cheek, stopping herself just short of touching him. Miraak had to… Fingertips brushed against his skin.
“ENOUGH!!” Hermaeus Mora’s voice shattered through Apocrypha as black tentacles wrapped around her wrist and waist. In an instant she and Miraak were ripped away and everything went black.
“Are you alright?” Talvas’ voice seemed muffled as she blinked awake. She waved him away as she pushed herself from the floor.
“Neloth.” She said as she leaned against her reading table. The wizard did not look up from his enchanting table.
“I need you to help me defy the Prince of Fate.”

AITA For flashing my partner's coworkers?
Note: Happy end of tessummerfest, have an AITA parody I wrote about Miraak and Adri a few months ago. Technically nsfw, no explicit descriptions of sexual activity.
AITA For flashing my partner's coworkers?
u/thefirstDB
I (M 2000+) and my partner (F 27), I'll call her 'A', have been staying with her Boss 'U' (M late 40s?) and her coworkers who I will not go into detail about. The most relevant is 'E' (M 30s?).
We are all staying at U's house because of some bullshit meetings everyone has to go to and it's just easier for everyone to stay in one place for a while. A is my world, she literally saved me, and quite frankly everyone here is assholes and they always shove all their work onto her, especially U and E (E isn’t even in the same department I don’t understand why he was invited). She brought me along because I’m a big dude (7’2) and she doesn’t want to be alone in a room with U since he proposed to her unprompted a month ago (we were not official at the time and they never had a romantic relationship, it was weird). A has been super stressed out and I have been doing everything I can to make sure that she gets some quiet relaxation time in between meetings. The other day we went up to our room early after dinner because she hadn’t had a chance to take a break that day. U asked us to stay downstairs with the group, but I told him flatly “no” and then practically carried A upstairs because she was tired. When she laid down in her bed (there are two small beds in the room instead of one bigger bed, everyone seems to think we aren’t together) she pulled me closer and we got really cuddly and things started to get physical. Suddenly in the middle of us having a good time we hear U and E shouting in the hallway, and before we can react the bedroom door flies open.
I admittedly LOST IT, and just jumped at E without thinking. I grabbed him by the collar and started shouting at him. Calling him an idiot for not knocking and even threatening to kill him in a language that he does not speak, but A and I do. A told me to stop so I let E go, and then I realized that U and all of A’s coworkers were standing in the hallway just outside the door and they could see EVERYTHING. U was just staring at A so I told him to keep his eyes to himself or he wouldn’t have them anymore (also in the language) then slammed and locked the door.
A has been upset since, saying this is causing so many problems and asking me to sleep in the separate bed. I have apologized for forgetting to lock the door and for threatening E and U, but she keeps saying she needs time. Is it because her coworkers saw my dick? AITA for not covering myself when E barged in?
