Epic work dear friend!!! Love it!
"I couldn't resist the chance to come back for another poke at your old lady." !!!!!!
My jaw dropped, I literally-no-kidding slapped my forehead, and said "Oh sh*t!" out loud!
He did NOT just suicidally blurt that out to Arnbjorn, of ALL people!! What in Oblivion is he THINKING?!
Maybe Rathe has no idea WHAT Arnbjorn really is, maybe he simply doesn't give a rat's *ss either way....and then he said the second line....
Oh, Gods!!
Then I started laughing literally to a sore stomach, knowing damned-well what's gonna happen next....
IT! IS! ON!
Arnie's got at least a 75-pound (I guess) weight advantage on Rathe...well...to start, that is...^^ Imperial VS Nord/Werewolf. > DING! < ^^
Good thing Rathe has good natural agility, or his face would have been smashed strait to the back of his skull with Arnie's first MOAB! (Mother Of All Blows^^ )
Thank you so much, Jess. I just loved that totally insane provocation...still can't stop laughing as I type this!
I know, I got a pretty sick sense of humour....^^
Try typing while you laugh...I dare ya!
My typing sucks bad enough to begin with, and now this on top of it?? You can just imagine, Lol!
Wow! what a legendary and ferocious brawl of the ages indeed!
This "Major Sanctuary Event" WILL be recorded in the most recent Annals of the Dark Brotherhood by the Dark Scribes for ALL time!
I guess Rathe was so massively down, and his totally polarized and almost seppuku-like instinct to fight was so strong that he deliberately, almost nonchalantly chose those MORTALLY insulting words that would MOST definitely "pick a fight", Braveheart-style^^, with the biggest, baddest, and meanest member of the whole freaking Family!
Just one "wee little" thing: Rathe had his throat bitten and torn open by a WEREWOLF and would have died, but instead was saved and lives still.
You know damned-well what that might mean!
Uh-oh!!^^
Rathe might want to keep very accurate track of the phases of the Moons, from now on....^^
What a breathtaking pretzel-plot-twist!
Apparently Fleur may not be so cold towards Rathe after all....^^
I may perhaps have to eat some of my previous negative comments regarding Fleur^^, along with some humble pie, and an UNhealthy helping of crow....
Young Darius is apparently a strong and capable healer, and displayed a most rare honour by saving Rathe, even though it might cost him Fleur....
I'd still bow respectfully to the boy for that noble act, despite his personal misgivings.
Fleur's heart-breaking countenance upon seeing Rathe near-death was most saddening, but maybe that grief is just what she needed to remind her of her heart....^^
That last line about the "....seriously pissed-off werewolf" just set me off 'howling' ^^ again! Lol!
Oh boy, does flustered and thoroughly BOLLOXED^^ Astrid EVER have some serious 'splainin' to do to "Angry Arnie" now, and I'd just LOVE to be a proverbial "fly on the wall" to witness that massive load of broiling-hot, delicious domestic drama! LMAO!
I guess that's just Rathe's payback to Astrid for being a total, manipulative, lying b*tch to him for far too long....^^
What a marriage-NUKER! LMAO!
>wipes copious tears of mirth<
Swiftly endorsed!
Many warm and very kind thanks for this rollicking, raucous, rip-roaring, ribald, heart (and throat) - rending chapter, Jess, and hearty cheers, dear, I totally loved this one!
Ouch my stomach hurts!
The BEST feedback I've ever had hon! Cracked me up. Glad I could give you a laugh and yep, you're 100% right; some of this was about a death wish of Rathe's part, but most of it was payback in the most horrendous way to ASTRID!!
I would NOT want to be in her shoes when Arnie turns back into man again "marriage-NUKER"!!
And yep, I'm well aware of the curse of Hircine and what a werewolf bite will do. Just not sure whether a healing spell can cure the taint...
So glad this gave you a laugh and I will admit to having a chuckle when I wrote that famous like about poking old ladies!!
Thanks sweetie!
"I just hope she's not pregnant..." ^^ right before Arnie's MOAB....
Cheers, dear!
Do you really want to make him go thermonuclear??^^
It's probably a good thing Rathe didn't say it in the first place.... LMAO!
OK I'll STFU before I bust a gut...
Cheers, dear!
I like Fleur's new look, though the old hair colour suited her better, I think. But I understand why she wanted to change it. On another note, I love Rathe's new hair. ^^
Wonderful work, Jess! I am looking forward to the next chapter.
Um... you've been busy.
I'll read it all and leave pretty little comments, I swear. But it will take time. Now let me just endorse it all... damn, Jess, your inspiration never lounges, huh?
Aaaand... he snapped. Nicely done, Rathe, to speak poorly of the werewolf's wife... you've got some brains, even when in grief!
But at least that brought that old Fleur back again - the good and kind, and gentle one. And it was so romantic to see that she cares!
And that poor, poor Darius... oh dear, he's so head over heels with Fleur! Wonder how it will all turn out...
Thanks hon!
Cheers!
You're spot on in your reflections. I think there was a bit of a death wish driving Rathe to anger Arnbjorn so much. But maybe that act might be the first step to him and Fleur reconciling. Even I'm not sure yet.
And as for Darius... well. I won't say anymore about him.
So I liked this one as it had some good ole combat and fighting and I always like a good fight scene, especially with a werewolf. It was also nice to see Fleur isn't all bad and that maybe she still has a heart, no matter how burned and shriveled, inside of her. It was good to see some real emotion from her for a change.
Although part of me was wondering if maybe it would have been better to end the tale and let Rathe die, he has been through so much - way more than Fleur IMO - that death would be a relief to him. I was almost expecting it and was surprised I was almost hoping for it.
Course that would mean no more great stories so that would totally suck :p
As for Darius ... mixed feelings still. He did save Rathe ... but hard to say if it was a totally selfish act like he told his father or if that was an act to appease his father and he cares enough about Fleur to have done it for her sake (i.e. if you truly love someone let them go. If they don't come back to you then you hunt them down and kill them ... wait that doesn't sound right ... oh year if they love you then they will stay with you).
And how could you hope for Rathe's death? Shame on you!! I've got so much more torment in store for him! (Joke, I've decided to ease up on the poor bloke for a while). Besides, he can't go and die while Regan's still running around out there.
I have mixed feelings about Darius too and that's all I'll say on the matter.
Seriously, WGD, thanks so much for all of your passionate comments. Makes me grin like a loon when I read them in the morning over coffee. Really appreciate that someone gets so 'into' this little tale of mine!
