Summary
Whenever it is silent, Estinien can still hear the whispers of the black wyrm that had once coiled around his soul. It had stopped singing of hate, instead wailing of loneliness and confusion. He had planned to let the songs echo until either of them would fade away forever...
Only to find himself most capable of forming a song of his own when meeting another member of the First Brood.No scales and yet they bristled. No wings and yet they flapped in anticipation.
Never before had the man felt so much like a dragon.
And Nidhogg took notice of it as well.Series

Summary
With everything settled at Mor Dhona, accepting Vrtra’s invitation to Thavnair takes nary a moment. But once he arrives, considering the teeming, vibrant city, he starts to wonder:
What use is he here? A sellsword, a wanderer — a slayer of dragons in a city ruled by one?Bookmarked by cositas

Summary
Sidestory after Duet, set post-6.0, spoilers. Vrtra/Estinien.
"What," Vrtra asked faintly as Estinien lugged the statue into the dining hall, "is that?"
Estinien took his time in turning the heavy ornament around for display before setting it upon a table, angling it so that it faced Vrtra square-on, beady eyes aimed at the larger dragon in silent demand.
"A blessing for our shared fecundity together," he answered bluntly. "If I'm to understand correctly."

Summary
Set after 6.0, Vrtra/Estinien, spoilers for MSQ and level 70 DRG quests.
"The first song I knew came from my sire. A dirge, which became the lullaby that Midgardsormr sang to us in the egg on the long flight between the stars. It is a song I have never forgotten, despite all the ages of mankind which have risen and fallen since."
"A lullaby?" Distracted away from his assessment of Vrtra's injuries, Estinien smirks at the idea of the greatest of dragons crooning like a doting nursery attendant. "What was it like?"
Bemused, Vrtra only inclines his head. "Shall I recite it for thee?"
