OH MY GOD, I AM SO SORRY. 😭😭

Sibling in Starfleet, I have failed you. That was a genuine oversight on my part, and I’m kicking myself through all 79 episodes of The Original Series for it. I didn’t even think about tagging that properly! I know tags are super important, especially because everyone’s got different triggers and comfort levels, so I 100% should’ve been more careful. Genuinely, I just wasn’t thinking. (ADHD strikes again, amirite?) But hey, I’m learning!

Going forward, I’ll try to do better with tagging stuff like that! I really want this to be a safe space for everyone. And if anyone else ever feels uncomfortable about anything, PLEASE let me know, and I’ll fix it faster than Scotty can fix a warp core breach. 🖖 This is a learning process for me too, and I appreciate the feedback... even when it's about surprise alien reproductive content. (⊙_⊙;)ゞ

I’ll be tagging posts like these with #tkim (To Keep In Mind), so if anyone wants to mute or silence that tag, feel free to use it. <3 (and you know, also mainly for me—to keep in mind for future reference!)

Again, thank you so much for letting me know! I’m off to update the tags and make sure no one else gets hit with unexpected weirdness!

P.S: Also, "weakest Trekkie"? NUH UH. You survived this without throwing your PADD across the room, so that makes you stronger than you think! Welcome to the weird side of fanfic, where we boldly go into... well, places we probably should’ve tagged better. (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞

Hvitr has never really come off as a gentle wolf or even one that seemed to care much about anything, she just.. showed up one day and hasn’t left. She had wanted so bad to be Alpha of the little family but that wasn’t about to happen and we’d thought that would be all and she’d leave, but she didn’t.

Hvitr is still here with us and she’s.. changed, she’s softened those sharp edges and has really bonded to Krid, hell, I think that derpy wolf, Krid, actually helped her chill out some because now they’re inseparable, even had a few pups! 

“Home is where the heart is.” That saying has never been more true than it has right now to both myself and Tk. We went home to talk supplies with folks in Lions Arch but we both know we’ve been grasping at any reason to be home and be reunited with our family. The walk was cold and hard for me but I know I would have done it again, especially to see the pure joy on Tk’s face as Krid greeted him at the door and then the pups who weren’t really pups anymore joined in the chaotic rolling of fur as they all fought to press against him and lick his face. He had been so patient with the walk there, though I could see him fidgeting, he wanted to run but he knew I struggled with the cold and had I had any faith in myself to make it alone, I would have urged him to run home.

There’s eleven now, in the family. Tk, myself, Krid, Hvitr, Vi, Ri, Meggie, Imp, Spruff, Bacon and Spot. Though I’m sure Bacon doesn’t really consider himself part of the family, he’s a grumpy bird, more than Hvitr. Though that wolf has been oddly clingy, Krid too, I suppose they missed us more than they let on, though i’m sure the feeling is mutual. Hvitr and Krid stayed close since we came back home, I expected it of Krid, him and Tk were like two halves of a whole but me and Hvitr had never been particularly close, she just happened to follow me home one day when I was house hunting with Tk’s help, before we ever became a ‘thing’.

I made us a rich meal to spoil ourselves with since there were some things we still didn’t have out in the camp and we sat and just relaxed. Neither of us wanted to leave but we had already made our choice, neither of us could walk away, we’re far too stubborn for our own good. A few times we talked about the war and returning to it but we both agreed, that was a conversation for another time, now was a time to relax and be with our family and our home.
