    As A Consequence Of Your Action (Jumpchain)
    Threadmarks: 1 - Girl Genius (Part 4)

    Agatha POV: I threw myself back onto the giant feather bed in my guest suite on Castle Wulfenbach, stuck my head under the pillows, and groaned. After the whirlwind of everything that had happened recently I desperately needed to take some time to try and process. Because how did you even begin...

    It was a couple months later that I was left staring down in horror at the sheer blasphemy of engineering that covered my workbench. "STUPID MISERABLE PARTS! THE TENSILE COEFFICIENT IS ALL WRONG- NO I DON'T WANT TO AUGMENT THE RESONANCE CORE YOU IDIOTIC SUBCONSCIOUS, I WANT TO MAKE IT SO THAT...

    Threadmarks: 1 - Girl Genius (Part 2)

    Sparks are pretty much defined by obsessive trains of thought and being easily distracted. So the fact that I was paying minimal attention to my surroundings and visibly in deep thought over a conundrum all throughout breakfast was so unremarkable that it faded right into the background noise...

    Jump-Document: Girl Genius (SB) After a minute or so the Half-Life 2 recruitment screen homage faded away to be replaced by a floating touch-screen on which the first 'jump-document' scrolled up. Girl Genius. Great. So much for hoping for a first jump that would give me a chance to get my...

    Threadmarks: Introduction

    Preface Hey all. It's me, cliffc999, one of SB's more prolific Jumpchain authors. I also do a lot of other things, on SB and also here on QQ, but right now the Jumpchain bit is the most relevant. Several years ago I dropped this Jumpchain on SB, as an experiment with writing an entirely...

    The Once and Future Champion (Baldur's Gate 3/Dragon Age) (Complete)

    And yes, Hawke and party never met Yenna as they never really went to Rivington. Fortunately Isobel and Aylin did, so readers may rest assured Yenna was given a hot meal and an introduction to a temple that could look after herr. :)

    The Once and Future Champion (Baldur's Gate 3/Dragon Age) (Complete)

    The kid is an orphaned refugee who hasn't eaten in days and you're the first adults who haven't run her off at swordspoint. Of course she'll risk walking up to your camp, she's starving.

    The Once and Future Champion (Baldur's Gate 3/Dragon Age) (Complete)

    No, that's still a genuine kid. In game, the replacement is not made until right before the quest triggers, which is during the reveal scene. Yes, this means Gortash was not being entirely truthful. Cue my shocked face.

    The Once and Future Champion (Baldur's Gate 3/Dragon Age) (Complete)

    TBF, it's not always Yenna. In fact, she's the last one on the list of possibilities. She's there to be a fallback option in case none of your companions are eligible. (Orin will only replace Lae'zel, Halsin, Gale, or Minthara, will not replace a romanced character, and will not replace anyone...

    The Once and Future Champion (Baldur's Gate 3/Dragon Age) (Complete)

    My main difficulty on further playthrough is that several NPCs, Isobel and Aylin most especially, are just so much... less... in the actual game than in the fanfic versions I massively punched up. I can live without getting to bait Orin to the surface and then lock her in a resilient sphere...

    The Once and Future Champion (Baldur's Gate 3/Dragon Age) (Complete)

    Tweak to chapter 40: -Clarified the status of Ansur post-battle, at the start of the 'over the following month' wrap-up section.

    Can't see 'Story Rant' thread

    Turns out I was ignoring him, to the point I thought the 2nd poster in the thread was the OP. OK, that worked.

    Can't see 'Story Rant' thread

    No, I do not. In fact the OP is a mod, I don't think they can be ignored.

    Can't see 'Story Rant' thread

    If I search for the 'Story Rant' thread using the search bar I can still open it and view it, but it doesn't show up in either my list of watched threads (where it's supposed to be) or when I pull up the Rants forum. I have unwatched and re-watched it twice. I have logged out and back in again...

    The Once and Future Champion (Baldur's Gate 3/Dragon Age) (Complete)

    Other minor tweaks: Chapter 29 - Inserted a few lines of expository dialogue at the start to clarify just how old Orpheus is. Chapter 36 - Hawke's backstory from his first year in Kirkwall updated as I found out I'd remembered one of the DA2 sidequests wrong, and it was even more morally...

    The Once and Future Champion (Baldur's Gate 3/Dragon Age) (Complete)

    Minor tweak to chapter 38 - I realized it's better for them to have the 'we're going back to Thedas' talk before they have sex, so I shifted the order around a bit in that scene. Also, as I'm cross-posting this to SB, I PG-13'ed it some more because SB mods sometimes get really strict.

    The Once and Future Champion (Baldur's Gate 3/Dragon Age) (Complete)

    I have no plans for a sequel, regrettably. As for notes, I stopped paying strict attention to game mechanics before we were out of act one.

    The Once and Future Champion (Baldur's Gate 3/Dragon Age) (Complete)

    And in the category of 'things my subconscious did and I did not even remotely figure out that it did that until I was rereading my own shit weeks later', I only just realized that this part of the sequence is actually Hawke projecting his own self-loathing over how HIS life crashed and burned...

    Now that you remind me, he's not even a god-elf yet - Solas does not regain his full power until Flemeth/Mythal sort-of sacrifices herself to do that, and that's only in the post-credits scene of Inquisition. Since the Epilogue occurs shortly before 'The Final Piece' (the Inquisition main quest...
