A J S & C L U Payne Writing<p>Well, sticking with what I've been doing, this week's archive story is one relevant to Monday's story, in fact, it is the very day before, and introduces one of the protagonists.</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/TeryteChronicles" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TeryteChronicles</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/shortstory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>shortstory</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/fantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fantasy</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/dragons" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>dragons</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>writing</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.aksan.dev/writing/dr-flamesdaughter" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">aksan.dev/writing/dr-flamesdau</span><span class="invisible">ghter</span></a></p>
A J S & C L U Payne Writing<p>Well, for this illustrated story we have, arguably a very apt introduction to the Krinaale month, some Sapphic smut, and I think my first piece that has an illustration, another treat from the incredible Furlana, a poem and some prose.</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/illustration" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>illustration</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/fantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fantasy</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/shortstory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>shortstory</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/TeryteChronicles" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TeryteChronicles</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.aksan.dev/writing/reciprocation" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">aksan.dev/writing/reciprocatio</span><span class="invisible">n</span></a></p>

A J S & C L U Payne Writing<p>This week we've a treat for all the fans of villains out there, a bare-toothed monster who has no interest in reformation, and a firm belief that none are innocent.

A J S & C L U Payne Writing<p>Ummed and ahhed a bit this week over the archive story because I only have a really sure image for next week's.

A J S & C L U Payne Writing<p>After a month of who he is, this month we see who he was. Today, with a beautiful illustration from Furlana, and in the prose all through the month, I am laying out the framing of so much of the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/TeryteChronicles" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TeryteChronicles</span></a> and setting a course for my writing.</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/illustration" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>illustration</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/shortstory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>shortstory</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/dragons" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>dragons</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/fantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fantasy</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>writing</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.aksan.dev/writing/brotherhood" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">aksan.dev/writing/brotherhood</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
A J S & C L U Payne Writing<p>I am rounding out a month of trying to tell people who The Thane is, the person he is now, and this archive piece speaks to it a lot for me, even if it does not centre him.

A J S & C L U Payne Writing<p>The last Monday of a month I've themed around who The Thane is, and a sweet moment that's been on my mind for a while.

A J S & C L U Payne Writing<p>As we get to another Friday, we get to another archive post, and on a month focused on "who The Thane really is" and the day after my 8th Anniversary, its hard to think of something more fitting than Embrace, inspired by the art which was an incredible gift from Lana.</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/TeryteChronicles" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TeryteChronicles</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>poetry</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/romantic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>romantic</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/dragons" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>dragons</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/fantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fantasy</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/illustration" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>illustration</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.aksan.dev/writing/embrace" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">aksan.dev/writing/embrace</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
