    Summary


    Ondolemar’s control unravels amid dead colleagues and brewing chaos, with an assistant who smells distinctly of Elenwen’s machinations.
    He’s sure she’s the noose tightening around his neck.
    He couldn’t be more mistaken.
    What’s coming is personal. Intricate. And infinitely more dangerous.

    Summary

    Ondolemars Kontrolle bröckelt inmitten toter Kollegen und brodelndem Chaos, mit einer Adjutantin, die unverkennbar nach Elenwens Machenschaften riecht.
    Er ist überzeugt, dass sie die Schlinge ist, die sich um seinen Hals zieht.
    Er könnte sich nicht mehr irren.
    Was da kommt, ist persönlich. Kompliziert. Und unendlich gefährlicher.

    Summary

    It’s been nearly two years since Alduin’s defeat at the hands of the lonely and troubled Dragonborn, Haldis Ragnardottir. But now, she faces a new threat. A cult has sprung up around a mysterious man claiming to be Dragonborn, and that cult has just put a mark on Haldis’s head. Left with little choice other than to travel to the ashen Solstheim to investigate, she is cast neck-deep in an ancient conspiracy, and is faced with deciding the fate of the most perplexing and frustrating man she’s ever met.

    …And she thought she had her hands full with Alduin.

    Summary

    The cold winter wind hits my face the moment I push the terrace doors open.

    Before I can bask in my displeasure towards the awful climate, the Breton’s form sprawled on the floor distracts me well enough to ignore the chill.

    She’s sitting on the stone with a book lying open in front of her, shoulders slumped in what seems like defeat, and eyes staring at the lilac swirls dancing between her fingers.

    Elena.

    Summary

    I very nearly brained myself a second time upon seeing the walking skeletons. Savos Palpatine'd them by throwing lightning from his hands. Mirabelle had to stumble under all my weight whenever I got light-headed by the show.

    “I must be dreaming,” I managed out as my body warmed by the trek.

    “You are not,” answered Mirabelle, almost apologetic.

    Summary

    Skyrim is a world of heroes, dragons, and thunderous words. But one day, the One Who Laughs enters it. He does not save the world. He merely reveals how fragile are the ideals built on gold, pride, and strength. Ten satirical parables about how one Khajiit became the most dangerous being in Tamriel—without ever drawing a blade.

    Summary

    J'zargo and Marcurio do not like each other very much.

    However, bound together by mutual affection for a starry-eyed Dragonborn-to-be, they find it within themselves to put this aside. The College of Winterhold is big enough for the two of them, after all. But of course, since every good story starts with something going terribly wrong, things fall apart when the Dragonborn disappears mysteriously into a snowstorm without so much as a word.

    With nothing else better to do, these two sorry excuses for mages embark on an epic quest of terrible misfortune, dramatic irony, and a slow burn bromance that might just lose that B in another hundred thousand words. Who's to say! Whether predetermined by the hands of fate, or by the dice roll of some wine-drunk Daedra, the life of the Dragonborn hangs in the balance and now all that's left to save her are two idiots and their funny, inexplicable habit of always somehow making it just in time.

    Summary

    Falkreath hold was supposed to be where Zyklos disappeared for good: a nameless hunter and Maormer exile at the edge of a graveyard town, answerable to no one. Saving Valion Oronar – ex-Justiciar, yet still painfully Thalmor – ruins that plan.

    As the world burns and an ancient Word brands itself into Zyklos's bones, he and Valion are forced to confront the things that made them: empires, faiths, and powers far older than either, and two men who have nowhere left to belong have to decide whether they can build a home in each other instead.

    Summary

    Cast out from her people for her crimes, the Forsworn Nemain somehow ends up in Helgen and meets the sworn enemy of her people, the man Madanach has sent her on a mission to kill: Ulfric Stormcloak.

    Forsworn sympathizer, hater of Nords and remorseless killer, Nemain must decide what prejudices she will cling to, as she begrudgingly begins to respect the Bear of Markarth.

    Can a heart once broken begin beating anew? Surely never for the man who slaughtered every man, woman and child of the Reach who stood against him.

    Bitter and betrayed, this is the tale of Nemain the Dragonborn.

    *Starts out canon compliant, and then goes into heavy AU territory. Lots of plot bunnies wreaking havoc: whatever happened to the Forsworn after the Cidna Mine incident? Is Ulfric Stormcloak merely a racist jingoistic dingleberry, or does he have 'layers'? And what if the Mage's Guild main quest didn't end there, but was blended with several Daedric quest storylines?

    ...and away we go.

    Summary

    This is not a Dragonborn story.

    It’s about a half-Breton mage who survived the Thalmor, a Bosmer brother who refuses to stop smiling, and the slow, stubborn work of building a life after everything burns.

    Along the way there are bounties, old gods, bad decisions, unexpected love, and a Dominion that deserves everything coming to it.

    Summary

    A modern-day woman wakes up in Skyrim and decides that pretending she doesn’t know things she shouldn’t is going to be too difficult. Claiming to be a seer may put a target on her head, but it definitely makes it easier to fuck with people.

    Summary

    While a battlemage's journey into Skyrim is twisted after her wrongful arrest and near execution, she finds the land drawing her in. The place she suspects is her homeland is at first unfamiliar; yet, friends, adventure, and love help her find comfort. As she journeys through the province, this love is her shadow, the winds of change stronger than ever. The mysteries claw at her: Does she have any family in Skyrim? Can she truly settle down into a life of studying at the College of Winterhold? Who can be trusted in times of war and betrayal? What does the return of the dragons mean? She cannot find the answers alone, and only certain kinds of friendships can remain just that. With trust in those around her, she's never been more ready to discover the truth about her family and the reason behind her Cyrodiilic upbringing.

    Summary

    For one such as himself, should he ever find comfort? A lovers embrace beyond stone walls and run down inns. He is born of two bloods, and that may have been his greatest downfall. Curse them all, for he will carve greatness into the world, in spite of all those who told him he could never live up to his name. Auriel will not just be a god to Mer and Men alike. It will be the name of a hero. Destiny has told him thrice that it should be so. Gods did not give prophecies that held no weight.

    Summary

    Warning: this fanfic is abandoned as of Dec 31, 2025. A rewrite of parts will be released along with a new plot, with a few additional/different characters in 2026.

    Exiled and ‘orphaned’, Sabine has learned that surviving means remaining unnoticed. Unfortunately, she is forced out into the open after she helps kill a dragon and is thrust into the role of Dragonborn… and into the center of a bloody Civil War.

    Not 100% lore-friendly or canon-following. Built around the plot of the game + Kaidan EE/IF, but leans heavily into technology, magic, and storylines that are not canon-adherent.

    There were screams of terror. I heard them. Begging for help, for a way out. Clawing, banging, bashing at the doors and the shutters. I sat alone. A tiny figure silhouetted against the raging blaze. The village awoke to the sound of crackling flames and groaning wood as the structure gave way. Then deafening silence.

    Summary

    Ancano gets a nightly visit from Faralda, who has brought him an unpleasant present: An amulet of Talos. Seeing this, Ancano not only feels his sense for duty awaken but also deep buried memories.


    Had she been too rushed to take it off? Had she not thought about hiding it in time? Or had she been so bold to not take it off on purpose? If she had, she was a terribly stupid girl. She had led the wolf to her den and had presented herself ass a freshly slaughtered lamb, all of him to have.
    Ancano’s fist closed around the pendant, the sharp edges pressed into his glove.
    “Really?” he said and tilted his head.
    He wrapped his hand in the necklace, tightened the band around the woman’s throat until it cut into her flesh and his fist lay on her larynx. Under the touch, he felt her swallow and yet her stare remained on him, the smile not fading.
    She wanted to speak, spit some words at him but she only got out a croaking sound. Her hands grabbed around his fist, pulled but he did not let loose. That the cord did not rip was curious, but he thanked it for it.
    “Knees,” he pressed out between his teeth and the woman obeyed.

    Summary

    Bored of the tedium of the College of Winterhold, Faralda decides that it is time to drag Ancano to the Frozen Hearth. There, she conducts her own little experiment on him. Will it be a success?

    Faralda yelped, struggled under him and strained against him. Perhaps it was an attempt at freeing herself, though it sheathed him only deeper.
    “Look at me,” he demanded, his voice a hiss.
    “I am,” she pressed out between her teeth, the resistance in her eyes glistening.
    He leaned his forehead to hers, moved himself out a bit, then pushed back in. She whined, pressed against him.
    “Whatever that was, what you pulled here.” He thrust again, eliciting another laboured moan. “Don’t you ever dare to do that again.”
    “And what if,” a whimper interrupted her words. The arm fixating her at last let loose; the hand now lower and his finger circled her clit, played with it. “What if I do?”
    Ancano flicked against her sensitive bud. “Then nothing more of this. Understood?”

    Summary

    Eawynn is Breton a mage from Markarth, a College of Winterhold dropout, and the newest member of the Dark Brotherhood. However, she quickly learns that her new position as Listener comes with more responsibilities than she had bargained for, and the eccentric Cicero is all too willing to see that she fulfills them. Is the price that Sithis demands too high? Will her past come back to haunt her?

    This is a Listener/Keeper smut fic, and a love letter to the College of Winterhold’s resident Thalmor, the impertinent Ancano! Hold on to your butts, and let me take you on a wild adventure! (Note: I’ll be adding tags as I add each chapter!) (Also be warned: X-Treem DubCon and Full-On Non-Con ahead, but it all kind of works out in the end. Why am I like this?)
