"Bound Together"

Do you think there's a market for whisky porn?

If there's a market for tentacle porn, there's a market for anything.

As always with you, I'm afraid to ask. What is tentacle porn?

Oh no, you don't. It's not like I have any of it memorized.

Well, is it like stories of amorous octopi?

That at least would be interesting. Have you seen the documentary Cephalopods of the Smiling Sea?

No. Was there tentacle sex?

Now that you mention it, there was. It was a bit sad.

Sad as in a lousy performance, or sad boohoo?

Sad because the male – are you sure you want to hear this?

Fascinated. Go on.

The male detaches a special arm, covered in sperm, and presents it to the female.

He gives her his arm?

Not always. Sometimes the male inserts the arm himself. In the oviduct.  Sometimes the female takes it with her for later.

And there's a market for that? Also: ew.

Oh, absolutely. Octopus porn was the most searched term in Great Wyk three years running.

Aw, thank you, nonny! And thanks to whoever recommended the fic to you. Season eight was a disaster. I try not to think about it, because it still makes me angry and I hate to waste my righteous fury on a couple of talentless fuckbois.

Anyway, yes, the fic will continue, and soon. I'm getting close to wrapping up chapter 30.

My cat Lucy promises to keep me writing:

Yes, it's still alive! The photo below contains very minor spoilers.

And that's not including all the typed stuff. My latest idea for actually getting things posted is to break my mammoth chapters into many smaller, more frequent ones. Seems simple, right? I just need to get out of my own way.

More spoilers: you’ll be seeing almost all of the tertiary characters again. Tyrion, Red, Margaery, Hyle, Tywin, even Damon. Lots more WhiskyLovers. Maybe a bathtub at some point, if convenient.

I'm pulling all the threads together that I can, so if you've wondered about something in the story and would like to see it resolved, let me know! Or if you just got something to say or questions about Bound Together (be nice). Keep the story alive for me, and I'll do the same for you.

Hi, Nonny! I’m not letting season 8 sour me - I didn’t watch episode 6 at all, and only skimmed 5. I don’t read negative meta or watch interviews that discuss/try to justify the ending, and I don’t look at pictures of anything past mid-episode 4. Show stops there for me.

No, it’s mostly real life/family distracting me (and Good Omens!) but I just wrote some Whisky Lovers bits the other night. I’m excited about the things I have planned, and this will get finished.

Hi there! Excellent list! I love hearing about things that need to be resolved - give ‘em to me, readers!

1) The sex swing is something I’ve written bits of, but the toys have yet to be explored, and I can’t decide which gets priority. Those Thursday chapters can get pretty long.

2) I agree, Jaime needs to cool it with the jealousy, though hitting Connington was justified. I do have plans to address his hot-headed reactions and assumptions.

3) Backseats will figure in somewhere, I promise. Very important.

4) Hyle Hunt has a role to play, but not for a few chapters.

5) Bathtub. Definitely happening, but too many ideas swirling around bc JB bath is all things. Not sure where it fits in yet.
