Hey there! It appears my epic-length story is really getting serious as I surpassed 500,000 words with chapter 43. It seems I got it to exceed 20,000 words, oddly enough. I know I didn't post the last few chapters here but hey, this is a MILESTONE!

Title: Caged in Stone
Words: 20,000+ (I know, scary. Many will run away in terror at the sheer size of it)
Characters: m!Aeducan, Trian Aeducan
Summary: After finally meeting Trian again (whose death had been faked way back in chapter 5)  in chapter 42, the dwarf noble ends up reading through his journal to see just how in the deeps his older brother actually became a reasonable person while captive and hidden from everyone in Orzammar, including King Endrin, their father, and Bhelen (by the protagonist's directives). He finds out some interesting things (no, not THAT kind of interesting).

Right, so I've been writing this since June last year and am sitting at almost 400,000 words, which is interesting, considering that I'm barely reaching a third of what I want to accomplish with this.

This is the same story I wrote about some time ago but I didn't get around to posting the actual chapters here. Still, Chapter 35 was, arguably, one of the most highly anticipated yet because it practically kicks off the Orzammar plot line, which is the most important because the protagonist is a Dwarf Noble Warden. There's also how Trian isn't actually dead, as his death was faked (by the protagonist in question), without his consent of course).

So yes, there WILL be a THIRD OPTION as far as choosing the Orzammar King goes, maybe even a fourth option, who knows.

Those that want a reminder (or summary):

-All Wardens were recruited (except the Human Mage, the elf mage is present)
-Ostagar, Lothering, Redcliffe and part of Denerim were visited and dealt with, mostly;
-Pairings: m!Brosca/f!Tabris (yes, those two are together, believe it or not), f!Cousland/Alistair (very original, I know :P). This is it so far.
-m!Brosca and f!Tabris are behind the Dark Wolf heists;
-Chapter 34 Was dedicated to the New Year's prank (it's better than it sounds, I promise). Basically, Loghain, along with the entire Kingdom of Ferelden, were pranked by The Dark Wolf.

Anyway, here is chapter 35. It's a long one, but I hope those few of you who skim through it find it at least mildly interesting.
