An Odd Pair: Part one and Two
Don’t worry about not knowing much about Guild Wars 2. This is written with people who aren’t familiar with the setting in mind, and I think I’ve done a good job at avoiding exposition dumps. More the stringing along style. For those that are familiar with the setting, this takes place before Destiny’s Edge comes together.
This is one of the first things I ever wrote way back eight years ago. I only wrote these first two parts back then and I did some more a year or two later when another writing kick hit me. The past couple years it's been stuck in my head and I wanted to polish it all up and post it partially for the sake of being able to say I've done something narrative for more than just a chunk or two. I also wanna see if people are interested in this story or interested in anything with a more narrative focus from me because I've got a few more parts of this and quite a few ideas floating around.
A friend made some art to go with one of the scenes in this and he did a wonderful job. Here's a link to my post of it. And over here is a link to his post of it. on Twitter
Next part.
The setting of this story and Charr are from Guild Wars 2, which is owned by NCSoft.

The charr/human dynamic has always been a memorable one, and you did a great job hinting at the depth and history it's got! Excellent start, I'll be wanting to see how this progresses.
(Of course, I'm also shallow and would like there to be Charr/human smut, but I suspect that's part of the plan.)

Finding a balance between enough nods for people who do know the setting to enjoy and enough info and hints at things for those who don't to follow along and want to learn more is tough but it feels great when it works out.
I have done some of that before, some of my older stuff. Only time will tell with these two though. : P
