It's now time to start a new thread for Julian of Anvil. Now that she returns to her hometown, it's rather appropriate to start a new thread to celebrate!

Thanks to all who have read and posted input on Julian's story.

For those coming in late, if you've got the time, here are links to the previous threads:

Chapters One through Seven
Chapters Eight through Thirteen
Chapters Fourteen through Eighteen
Chapters Nineteen through Twenty-two

I hope you continue to enjoy this story as Julian works toward the inevitable conclusion!

This quest has never made sense to me in the game, but it works in your story beautifully.

She laughed, a brittle, tinkling laugh like shattering crystal.
I love what you did with Faustina. She’s instantly recognizable, but somehow she is even more herself.

I resisted the impulse to look at my outfit.
This is perfect. When another women is telling you how your butt looks in those pants, you almost have to look.

Signy’s last moments were impressive. A hamstrung, burning Nord still trying to get her blade in. That image is going to stay with me. Hopefully Faustina’s professional assessment that Julian is a hottie will help her accept the next compliment she receives. And the house is already redecorated, just a little bloody. It makes me wonder, what is Julian going to do with all of the red draperies? Uniforms for the Anvil Little League? Ball gown? Hmm.

I caught my breath. Blood flows in this house once again.
Dangit. And it was already a complicated homecoming.
