Summary: When their parents died, Tesni Mahariel was left to raise her brother Caerwyn with the help of the rest of their clan. True to their penchant for getting into trouble, Caerwyn and Tamlen went hunting one day and ran afoul of a mirror, of all things. The next thing Tesni knew, Caerwyn had been recruited by the Grey Wardens. As if she’d let some shemlen just take her brother away! Determined to keep Caerwyn safe, Tesni goes after them, and antics ensue. She’ll stop the Blight to protect her family, Caerwyn will help--grumbling all the while--and Alistair will do his best to bond with his tattooed and bristly new brethren. When all is said and done, the blurred lines between friendship and blood bonds will draw them down a path that will change all three of them forever.
In which sleep and patience are difficult to come by.

(Shimmy gets cred for writing a quarter of Lenna's chapter because Lenna was overworked and Caerwyn hates the dwarves so much it gets in the way of writing him.)
In this installment, Tesni and Caerwyn both find out that their tasks will not be as easy as they'd hoped.

The VLS'v B-Sides: Track One
Jan. 18th, 2011 11:49 amtwist_shimmy
Consider these standalone one-shots that complement the main story. We post them when they fit in with the main story's timeline, but you don't have to read them to know what's going on when normal VLS'v resumes. They're more character and scene snapshots than overarching plot events.
Also, they're sometimes smutty.
Why did you write them?
It's good to get practice with different character voices. Otherwise Tesni and Caerwyn would take our minds over completely and your mods would suddenly be staring into space and stabbing everything that moved. Plus, you can take the smut out of a fic, but you can't take the smut out of the author's mind.
Wait, you said smut?
Indeed I did. Sometimes. This way, Caer and Tesni don't have to be in each other's heads when sexings are happening.

I knew what had happened the instant I saw the look on her face.
lenna_nightrunnerShimmy and I are flattering ourselves that some of you might panic if we fail to update "Vir Lath Sa'vunin" tonight, as our posting schedule dictates we ought. So I am here to convey the sad news that we will not be able to post our latest chapters until tomorrow or Thursday night.
Unfortunately, our fearless leader will not have power in her new apartment until Thursday, and it may take even longer for her to get Internet. There's only so much that can be done from a Starbucks and it takes both of us to coordinate a proper post.
Rest assured that chapters 29 and 30 will be posted as soon as possible, and our posting schedule should resume as normal on Saturday.
Related to Shimmy's lack of Internet is the fact that her ability to perform her modly duties here is still very limited. As she indicated in the current sticky post, please do feel free to PM or e-mail me (lennanightrunner[at]gmail[dot]com) if you need anything at all.
