Just a note: My part of "Mad Season" is actually the first ever written part of "Mad Season".
So, the title of it is actually "Mad Season". It really DOES have a title =P

This said, RHL's Mad Season, which was the inspiration for my lunatic ravings since, technically occurs somewhere between Interlude and the as of yet coming next chapter. Curly's follows later still in the series. Yes, I haven't yet fully caught up with the originating fic. Bad author! :slaps self:

[Ms.Malbolge]

Hello Ghosty just have a couple things to point out.

Excommunicate Traitoris isn't part of any series, let alone A Lover's Heart. Also A Noble Fate likewise isn't part of my Unnamed 40K Serial either.

That is all.

I wrote them in an odd order, neither chronological, nor in one arc and then the other. Like I said, this was to keep the ending something of a suprise, and also to try to make the transition from silly and random to darker and more bad-like easier. So, basically, there are three ways the series can be read.

Star Wars-This way is if you read all the later fics first, and then go back to the flashback arc.

Cast of Characters

Timeline (current draft: II)

868 A.D.: Illema Gordosky is born.

881: Illema is 'discovered' by an agent of the Baba Spoleczenstwo; as all girls of such ability are, she is taken in and apprenticed in the rites and rituals of the hag witches.

887: Vladimir is born to Boris and his consort Maria.

891: Illema is accepted into the pact and becomes Baba Gravf. She is inserted into the Czar's Palace and instructed to observe the succession and ensure the pact is maintained.

895: Simeon is born to Boris and his consort Maria.

901: Ina is born to Boris and his consort Maria.

908: Simeon sent to Constantinople to study. Ina's shapechanging abilities manifest soon after he leaves; Vladimir secretly helps Ina go into hiding after she narrowly escapes being burned as a witch. Baba Gravf attempts to contact Ina to test her for candidacy, but is blocked; the Spoleczenstwo decides the risk is too great - their political position is not yet strong enough to manipulate the Czar.

909: Boris abdicates throne to Vladimir to become a monk. Simeon returns from Constantinople as a paladin of Tyr. Simeon and Ina secretly reestablish contact.

911: Rabbit is born to Vladimir and his consort, a servant woman. Rabbit's birth takes place under inauspicious stars and priests of Tyr demand she be surrendered to them in order to "prevent a great tragedy." Vladimir refuses and begins to ostracize the church.

912: Boris returns from monastic life to depose Vladimir and assumes the throne again. Boris blinds Vladimir, sends him into exile, and tries to seize Rabbit to surrender her to the Tyr clergy but Simeon and Ina secretly smuggle her to safety. Rabbit is placed with a foster family, including a foster sister, Happyturtle. Boris places Simeon on the throne before returning to the monastery. Peter is born to Simeon and his consort, a former servant woman.

913: CurlyKitGirl is born to Empress Zoe of Byzantium and an unknown suitor.

914: Boris dies in his monastery. Vladimir is murdered while in exile, apparently by Byzantine assassins. Enraged at the apparent betrayal by his former Byzantine allies, Simeon declares war. The war continues for many years and Simeon captures large swaths of Byzantine land while working to educate and improve life for the Bulgarian people.

921: Rabbit's necromantic talents manifest. She is sent away from home to learn from a mentor. Though she initially resents this and is homesick, she continues to correspond by letter with Happyturtle. Baba Gravf has Rabbit observed. She is taught in secret some of the Baba lores, but her stance on necromancy will drive a wedge between them. Meanwhile, in Byzantium, Curly is inducted by one of the Babas amongst the Byzantines. Due to her political position, exceptions to the standards of training are necessary; however, showing the spark so young demands that the effort be made, lest her talents be lost to zza. Her personality and that of Baba Gravf conflict considerably, and she quietly rebels as much as she can while still maintaining face.

924: Rabbit's mentor slain under mysterious circumstances. She flees for her life, only to be taken in by Ego Slayer. Rabbit becomes Ego's 'apprentice.'

927: Simeon's wife dies from a unknown disease. Mourning and remorseful for the bloodshed caused by his war, he attempts to end hostilities by consolodating power with an arranged marriage between Peter and Curly. Zoe rejects the offer, however, and war continues. Later that year, Peter seeks to seize the throne by attempting to poison Simeon. Horrified at his son's actions, Simeon fakes his death and renounces his vows to Tyr as a paladin, becoming the Ghost Warlock. He goes into self-imposed exile and, while away, undergoes the transformation to become an elan while studying psionics. Meanwhile, with Simeon gone, Zoe abdicates the throne of Byzantium to Curly. Curly and Peter negotiate a hasty cease-fire, freezing borders where they currently fall.

929: Ina, working to become a god, poses as a servant girl in order to get close to Peter and the throne of Bulgaria. Ghost returns from exile to assist her.

930: Rabbit attempts to murder the paladin of Sune, Mordokai.

And the rest is IStLY...

[CurlyKitGirl]

Just flicking back through Falling Definitions looking for a correct colour for a character I saw that Barcelona was there.
Barcelona is a Queenfic staring Phoe/Helgraf and is in the wrong place. Could it be moved to the right place please? ANd also I note the typo that I made it the title (now fixed) was carried over into the archive.
It's Barcelona, not Barecelona, so you also fix that please if it's not too much trouble.

Not a problem, Curly. I've got it moved to the Queenfics section, but where should it go in the order there?

[CurlyKitGirl]

Whereever. It's not a series, just a collection. I think they're in alphabetical order? If so, according to alaphabet. If not, at the end's fine.

We Are the Champions is a Queenfic and should be filed under that collection.
Thankees.

Jeez, the Definitions are getting huge.

Also, I didn't want this to sink away into nothingness

[ghost_warlock]

I reworked Destro's bit of the archive a...bit...to account for the shift in the Ship of the Rings fics from '...begins' to '...continues.' (bump post )

[Felixaar]

Two things...

It's CODENAME:DRAGONSBANE, not CODENAME:DRAGONBANE

and thats the title of the first fic. The title of the series is HEAD and TAIL

Cheers,

[Destro_Yersul]

I promise I'm not posting just to save this thread from death. There's a reason for it!

maybe. >.>

ok, there really isn't. *goes back to thinking about ships*

[Reinholdt]

I wonder if there's any way we can get this thread stickied?

[TwoBitWriter]

Probably not as there are a ton of threads already stickied in Arts and Crafts.

[Reinholdt]

Five or Six more until Redemption is done. Whee.

[Destro_Yersul]

I think this needs to be bumped again. And thus, I shall bump it.

[RabbitHoleLost]

Out of curiosity, when was the last time this was updated?

[Raistlin1040]

June 9th, if the Edit Dates are to be believed.

Someone yell at me for posting on GITP instead of writing novels.

[ghost_warlock]

Out of curiosity, when was the last time this was updated?

For you, Rabbs, I promise I will update the archive sometime early this week. I believe I'm up to somewhere in the early-to-mid 30's, page-wise, so there's only a few pages left to go.

And don't kill yourself over it. I was just curious.

Yay! Ships are starting to come in again.
