Summary
With no clue as to how she got there, and no knowledge of the land she is now in, Wynn finds herself in an utterly alien world. And the closest things to people around seem to consist only of a small group of ancient vulture-like creatures, who inhabit an otherwise mysteriously empty castle isolated amongst a dying landscape. Wynn is quick to learn that the word 'friend' here has little meaning, and that she must rely on her own wit and strategy if she wants to survive long enough to figure out a way home.

Feeling betrayed by his alliance and totally alone in the castle, skekTah chooses to leave Skarith in order to protect himself from the new Emperor's hatred of him and the inevitable banishment he would gain.

Summary
Just a collection of random events within the Crystal Castle from the viewpoint of my Skeksis OC, skekTah the Schemer.
No real linearity. Mostly just drabbles of various things to explore the Dark Crystal world. May contain various AUs and such.
He's the Note-Taker up until roughly 600 trine into the Skeksis reign. After that, when I have the Gelfling Gathering set in my mind, he's the Schemer. Just for those that get confused by his title change between drabbles.

Summary
Emperor skekSo gives skekTah frightening news involving something the Schemer didn't think possible--Skeksis pregnancy. Love is in the air, Skeksis are pairing off, and children are on the way. Of course, skekTah must be the odd one in this...
AU to VotSatE where none of the Skeksis died. Takes place just after the Gelfling Gathering, so past the 600 trine mark in my canon.

Summary
At the peak of the Golden Age of Thra, the skeksis began to fade. Having lived much longer than any natural creature should, their old age finally began to catch up with them, and fear began to twist their minds. At the heart of it all is the Emperor, who would do anything to keep the dying race of skeksis-kind alive, and as he clamps down upon his control of all of his people, so the empire falls further and further from what it once was.
A/N: Currently DISCONTINUED. But I might try to revive the story idea once AoR has been released. -

Summary
Long ago a group of urskek followed a simple belief that was heresy to their society, the belief that individualism was not a sin. Many of them realised the danger, many of them disowned the belief, just 18 remained when the council finally called upon them and banished them to Thra.

A sorta-AU of Reality Jumper
Tah is a runty whouf that is being trained with his litter by skekUng to be attack whoufs for the castle.

Just when Tah's life is threatened with elimination, the kindly Illustrator offers to try taming the wild beast. Thus begins a close-knit friendship...and a deadly mini-war between a whouf and a Skeksis Beastmaster...
