Maidenless No Longer - The Bonus Chapters

TL;DR: there is no TL;DR here. Its a lot of text. Sorry in advance. Its okay if you don't read all my notes on each bonus chapter before you vote EVEN THOUGH IT MEANS YOU WON'T BE MAKING AN INFORMED DECISION GAWD. Ahem. Perfectly okay. Do what makes you happy. Really.

Alright, so we're about a week away from the main story of Maidenless No Longer being complete. The outline as it currently stands is 54 chapters + Epilogue for 55 chapters total, and I don't think I'll be adding any more chapters at this time (could be wrong, but it'd only be 1-2 at most if I did)

Which means its time to start talking about the Bonus Chapters!

Bonus Chapters are a collection of ideas that just wouldn't fit in the main story for a number of reasons. Either they took place in a previous 'run'/timeline, or they take place post-epilogue, or they take place from a male POV (which is no bueno because this is a story told from the pov of the waifus, obvious) or they're just straight up not going to be canon, but are too fun for me not to write. (there's one of these so far lmao)

So that said, I thought it'd be good if I got the opinion of you guys, my patrons, on just what Bonus Chapters you all want to see the most. I may not write all of these ideas at the end of the day, and knowing which ones most interest my readers will help me decide if any need to be cut.

I'm also hoping to get help with a few of these ideas, in that I don't really know where to go with them EXACTLY. I've been leeching off of you guys for this story from damn near the beginning, so why stop now, right? :P

And finally, if you guys have any glaringly obvious ideas for bonus chapters, now is the time to suggest them. If I see any I like, I'll add them to the list. If I get 5-10 new bonus chapter ideas that are really, really good, I might end up making a second version of this post.

Anyways, you can vote for as many options as you like in the following poll, so be sure to vote for the ones you definitely want to see, so I have a good idea of where my priorities should lie!

I will also give some notes for each option down below on what I've currently got in mind for them.

1. Loretta/Phillia the Albinauric - So looking at Loretta, Knight of the Haligtree's items, she was once a loyal knight of the Carian Royals, but eventually she broke away from them in order to find a place that was safe for the Albinaurics. My thinking for this post-canon one-shot is that Phillia needs a little extra something (a thick hot load of cum) to really make sure the next generation of Albinaurics is strong. But Loretta has to make sure the new Elden Lord is worthy (in reality, he already trounced her on his way to Malenia and she's got something of a defeat fetish so she's been looking for an excuse to spread her legs for him ever since)

2. Alecto, Black Knife Ringleader - This is one of those bonus chapters that might honestly get cut. I've got this nebulous idea of a one-shot in which we see Alecto wallowing in her imprisonment. Then the Tarnished shows up and they fight ofc, with him trouncing her. So she willingly asks him to take her daughter's Spirit Ashes, to give Tiche some semblance of a life outside of the Evergaol. But does there even need to be sex involved? Probably not. Does this chapter need to happen at all in fact? Also probably not.

3. Lansseax - This is something I know people will want because dragon girls. I've been trying to figure out how I want to go about it though. I'm thinking post-canon, Lansseax (who the Tarnished left alone because he long ago stopped needing more dragon hearts) decides that there isn't enough dragon representation (read: any) in the new Elden Court, and so she presents herself to the Tarnished and lowers herself in order to become one of his concubines? I dunno, could use some advice/suggections on this one.

4. Turtle Pope POV - Because of course Meriel deserves to be seen, and all the Tarnished's waifus deserve to be properly wifed. One massive wedding ceremony overseen by the Turtle Pope himself seems like it's in order to me. Or maybe two wedding ceremonies? Doesn't quite make sense for the Gods/Demigods to marry the Tarnished in the same ceremony as his mortal lovers, now does it? 

So maybe this is two chapters. First one, Tarnished shows up with Nepheli and her court and Meriel marries them. Second one, Marika and Ranni and the others find out and demand to be married as well in a similar ceremony. Gives me a chance to sneak in a line of Meriel saying something like "Once again, weird but not a sin, Tarnished" or something like that.

5. Ranni/Melina Threesome - What you see is what you get with this one. They're sort of sisters, sort of the same person, but they don't actually ever have a sex scene together in the main story. This bonus chapter rectifies that. Though I haven't figured out the minutiae yet, so if you want to give me ideas for how this happens, feel free!

6. Marika/Rennala, followed by Marika/Rennala/Tarnished threesome - May or may not be another two-parter, depending on how long each scene turns out to be. But yeah, this one is inspired by that delicious artwork of Marika soft-domming Rennala floating around. I like the idea that Radagon's lingering feelings for Rennala bleed over into Marika, forcing her to see her out in the Post-Canon. After they hook up, they then team up on the Tarnished.

7. Blaidd - This is just a Blaidd POV of everything he experienced in the fic tbh. A flashback of what happened to him in the story and Ranni saving him, followed by a Post-Canon scene of him playing with Ranni and the Tarnished's child, mayhaps. Because Blaidd is a good boy, and of course he will always protect Lady Ranni and her offspring.

8. Hyetta - For obvious reasons, Hyetta could not be in this fic. But for equally obvious reasons, the Tarnished almost certainly met her countless times on previous runs. This is one of those times, maybe even the very last run he did before the start of Maidenless No Longer, dedicated to Hyetta and helping her out. Except when it gets to the end of the line, he's not willing to go through the door when she asks him to, and Hyetta realizes that as much as her Tarnished loves her, he can never be her Lord and she can never be his maiden. Cue extremely bittersweet sex as a consolation prize of sorts between the two of them.

9. Tanith/Zorayas reunion/threesome - Once the dust has settled, Zorayas sends a letter to Lady Tanith to come visit. As an esteemed member of Lady Nepheli's court and Lady Irina's best friend, she is in quite good standing after all. Tanith arrives nursing a small babe, and to her shock finds out Zorayas also gave birth to a child of the Tarnished's. In the end, Zorayas shows just how much she's grown up by drawing her adoptive mother into a threesome with the new Elden Lord. She has to convince Tanith to stick around instead of running off again, after all.

10. Tanith's Knight turns out to be a woman?! - Taking place immediately after the Tanith/Zorayas reunion/threesome, they discover that Tanith's ever loyal Crucible Knight has dearmored enough to masturbate as she peeps in on the three of them going at it. Turns out, Tanith's Knight was a Lady Knight all along, and all she wants now is to be bred well and true, just like Lady Tanith and Lady Zorayas were. Pretty please. This one might be semi-canon/non-canon. The sort of thing where I leave it up to the readers whether they consider it part of the story or not.

11. Himbo!Radahn takes the Tarnished's place - This bonus chapter would almost certainly be non-canon. This is based on the idea of a Himbo!Radahn waking up in the Church at the start of the game, instead of your standard nameless Tarnished. And of course, the first thing he does is go looking for his trusty steed Leonard. Honestly deserves to be it's own full story, but I don't really believe I could do it justice. So this would probably only cover up until Himbo!Radahn meets Melina, and receives Torrent, who he lovingly decides to name Leonard the Second.

12. Radahn's maddened perspective of the final Festival - This one would be canon, and go into detail of what was going through Radahn's maddened mind as his final battle before the end took place and the Tarnished killed him. Still not entirely sure I'll be writing this one to be honest. It would be a challenge, since Radahn's mental space would be... very inhuman/abnormal. And it would also be very angsty, if I did it right, I imagine. Sort of the dark mirror to 11, and maybe not in a worthwhile way.

13. Jellyfish reunion? - The question mark on this one is real. Obviously, Aurelia and Aureliette deserve their reunion/happy ending. Not entirely sure it's worth writing an entire chapter about... but I can probably swing it if there's enough interest from you guys heh. So yeah, we'll see how many votes this gets. Safe to say, even if I don't write this bonus chapter, they DID still get reunited and got to see the stars together. Of course they did :')

14. Malenia bred at Haligtree for honeymoon - Pretty much what it sounds like on the tin. Just came up with this bonus chapter idea today. Obviously, Malenia will be involved in the wedding chapters... but she also deserves to be bred by the big dicked Tarnished too. So in a small honeymoon scene, I figure Malenia takes the Tarnished back to the Haligtree, which is no longer a husk now that Miquella is once more cocooned within it. He's still healing ofc, on account of all the abuse he suffered at Mohg's hands. But there's a nice breeze as Malenia gets pounded silly and creampied fully in her boss chamber, beneath the revitalized boughs of the Haligtree.
