Writings for 'Orastan'

(2026-01-17) An Anniversary of the Joy of the Moment — On another key anniversary shared by many who were affected by the Nightmare, but in particular for Oranna and Thalstan's first meeting two years ago, the couple takes a day to celebrate the past, and live in the moment of joy. 7400~ words. Romance RP.

(2026-01-11) A Person's Importance — Oranna gets through the third anniversary of when news came that Bargrimm was gone, a rough year as the scales of Gone outweigh the time Had, comforted by Befound and the newest addition to Oranna's support system, Thalstan. 4k words. Grief and Personal Plot RP.

(2025-12-16) Orlivia Stormliker, Falstan Littlestaffer, and the Million Souls (Orastan in Pandaland Part 5) — With their final evening in Pandaria, Oranna and Thalstan head out to enjoy the night, and end up encountering a somewhat uncanny story within their own story. (Canon story from game.) Romance RP. 4k~ words. (Conclusion of the Orastan in Pandaland Story)

(2025-12-16) Fashing (Heroically?) (Orastan in Pandaland Part 3) — Oranna and Thalstan continue to explore both their new relationship and the new (to them) continent of Pandaria, as a rumor of some minor concern out in a cardinal direction (don't worry, Thalstan can navigate) leads them into a bit more trouble than they originally anticipated, and to a familiar face who wasn't expecting the trouble either, or the help. If Thalstan had a silver for every time he showed up to help in the nick of time and the person wondered if she was hallucinating the cover of a book coming to life to magically rescue her, he'd have two silvers. Which isn't a lot, but maybe it's weird that it's happened twice? 14k~ words. Action Romance RP.

(2025-12-16) As Patient As A Mountain Itself (Orastan In Pandaland Part 4) — With an adventure of a day behind them, Thalstan and Oranna return to the Lazy Turnip to take care of each other, slowly and patiently, learning more about the other in big and small ways. From hair care routines to a deeply painful recollection of a dark memory to a long held small secret to the meaning behind tattoos to a consideration of teammates of all types, the two dwarves spend the rest of afternoon and evening in Pandaria’s hospitality with love and laughter.

(2025-12-15) Two Stories and Only One Bed (Orastan in Pandaland Part 2) — After a wonderful picnic day, Thalstan and Oranna head back to the Lazy Turnip for a romantic dinner to talk about what sort of labels to call each other.

Please see CWs for sensitive subject matter. 22k~ words.

(2025-12-15) See Each Other As We Are (Orastan In Pandaland Part 1) — After nearly a year since the two first met in a dream, and since a confession of feelings in letters, Oranna Stormbreaker and Thalstan Stouthammer meet in Pandaria, this time as a romantic couple, learning about each other anew in a romantic context after so long as friends.
