#Wordweavers 2026-01-09 Have you invented any words/sayings/swears etc. for your story?
Yes, "mesmers of the night."
It is that time during late night between the witching hours and morning light. That time of night that has a bit of a hypnotic quality to it

#PennedPossibilities 894 — If someone wanted to hurt your MC, what would that person do or say to them?
Part of why Medb ended up as the Trine for the Oak Walkers & Ashe Reveler packs is because she's as steady as a 28ton boulder in the middle of a field.
The only thing that really hurts her is if she loves you, and you die.
Even after 800ish years, the death of her daughters, and Líth's passing still affects her strongly.
Trying to provoke or hurt her emotionally.. well....
———
“The guard you chased down and ate would remark that you behave as a wild animal,” Trinity quipped back dryly without skipping a beat.
There was a loud chunk sound from the arm restraint as Medb tried to bring her arm up for a reflexive hand gesture of faux offence. “If you are to wound me, strike with what might have chance to pierce my hide. The gunnar should have stayed his weapon if not in ready for the Morrigan’s judgement.”

What’s the first and last line of dialogue for your MC?
Certainly and without context
First
"Good boy.. play dead,”
Current last
”Two of your.. correction two of her high rank gunnars executed some people a few weeks ago in a very staged fashion. I know they belong to her because they are around her enough to leave traces of her scent where they have been. I know they are high rank because they killed with a discipline not possessed by any of the guards I killed looking for them. You know who they are, sooth? Or will I go ask her personally?”
#WordWeavers 2025.12.22 — If the inciting incident never happened, what would happen to your MC?
I actually thought a lot about this as I was writing the second chapter.
Without Martin of the Maledictions trying to ascend to godhood, Medb would have carried on being a steward of her people until the human city-states made themselves a problem again. The Rhai'r-tír, Elves, Sidhe Courts, and even the Jötun signed "The Pact of Dissolution" after the last war the humans started with the Fae. Basically if the humans started another large scale war, whether or not it was with one of the four signatories, all the human city-states would be destroyed and an order of wardens set up to monitor that the humans don't organize into anything larger than a village.

#PennedPossibilities 876 — Does your MC like being the center of attention? Why or why not?
Medb? Nope. She is a pretty humble sort lest you get her undivided attention.
#WordWeavers 25-12-16 Is your MC more philosophical or action-oriented?
Medb is over 1000yrs old. One flows from the other at that length of time

#WordWeavers 25-12-15 How much profanity do you include in your story, and why?
The necessary fucking amount.
Serious answer though is that profanity is variable in both use and form.
Current wip, Trinity & Giftzahn cuss like you or I, as the culture they've lived in for a long time is similar. Medb on the other hand
“But wipe your arse and cunny with nettles, and strangle the thought if you expect to hold sway on me.”
#PennedPossibilities 867 — What does your MC smell like?
Medb has a distinct scent if you have the nose to catch it.
She smells like several wolves and a small murder of ravens. People only tend to notice when they're alone in a room with her.
It's vaaaaguely hinted at that this is related to why "Hound of the Morrigan" is one of her other names
#PennedPossibilities 865 — How does your antagonist feel about surprises?
Trinity is a chess-moves manipulator, so surprises are nuisances. If it's a true surprise rather than a mild deviation from a calculated expectation, it can lead to extreme agitation. Trinity gets flustered a few times as Medb intersects her affairs.
