Fic: Repentance and Resolve
The ending of the Project AHO mod, for all its frustrations, has actually sparked off _another_ scene in my head--because I ran into a significant character from the mod, yet again, even though that plot is now over. My Dragonborn had some OPINIONS on that, and this scene is now my headcanon for how that conversation went.

In Which Kendeshel Claims Some Ships and Solves a Haunting

In Which Kendeshel Recovers Her Freedom
In which Kendeshel's player plays through more of the Project AHO mod, the specifics of which I will not get in this summary because spoilers; and in which Kendeshel returns to Skyrim long enough to kill the dragon Sahloknir in Kynesgrove, and recover her housecarl Lydia for help in resolving the situation in Sadrith Kegran.

Fic: Tense Negotiations
Hey you guys, I actually wrote some prose! Even though I have some very mixed feelings about how Project AHO's plotline ends, it actually rattled my brain hard enough that this scene fell out. I consider this my headcanon for how a certain critical part of the plot played out, even though the mod didn't actually let me do this. Enjoy.

Review of Project AHO mod (non-spoiler version)
An almost entirely spoiler-free review of the Skyrim mod Project AHO. Includes one spoiler about the core idea of the mod, but no story specifics, because I want that in here as a content warning for benefit of other players. I have very mixed feelings--I liked some aspects of the mod a lot, and other aspects not so much. Two and a half stars out of five.

Backpack Glitch in Legacy of the Dragonborn on Steam Deck
I discovered a glitch in my Legacy of the Dragonborn run re: putting Anniversary Edition backpacks on display in the Hall of Wonders. Legacy's team doesn't officially support the Steam Deck so I needed to investigate this on my own. Includes a workaround for Future Me and any other Steam Deck users who might want to do a Legacy run.
