Summary
Two years since she had returned to her homeland. Two years since she'd sought out Kodlak Whitemane and joined the Companions, only to have the man who had saved her life murdered and the man she had come to love turn cold. Two long years of grief, battling the world alone, and becoming a warrior of legend. Yet, in all of her travels and adventures, her heart still yearned for the Master at Arms of The Companions. She had never found another, always hoping to return to the one she knew her heart belonged to.
When Vilkas sends her a letter, requesting her help to cure him of Beast Blood, she returns with the hopes of rekindling their love and finally finding peace. But will she be able to break through his walls once again or will the anger and hurt be the one thing the Dragonborn cannot overcome?

Summary
The Dragonborn has gone on her Honeymoon. The province of Skyrim is heavily damaged by the rampage of the dragons. But now that the dragons have stood down and the vampiric threat is gone, people want to rebuild. But not everyone is content with simply piecing things back together. This is the story of the very unsettled and very unsatisfied vampire Serana.
She’s off the leash and out to explore the world. But the world has intrinsically changed, now. Who knows what kind of trouble she is going to get into on her way?
A Skyrim story from Serana’s perspective, with more than a few devious mods. Join her as she tries to move out from the Dragonborn's basement and make a new life for herself without the Dragonborn's guidance. Mistakes, Friendship, Love and Acceptance will follow.
- "Came for the Smut, but stayed for the Lore, which is astounding considering the content."
- "The mod-lore and the lore are so intricately woven together that it makes this story really amazing. Some chapters I'm diving into the lore pages to follow up on what I've read. Highly Recommended!"
- "This made me reinstall Skyrim, damnit!"

The Living Pact: The Chronicles of Revan Desidenius by JustYourFriend
Fandoms: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Elder Scrolls, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
03 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
He was born of thieves and gods, of lost royalty and broken prophecy. Dragonborn. Nerevarine. Sovereign of ash and fire. Revan Desidenius walks through time not as a pawn of fate, but its heir—and its undoing.
From the ruins of Morrowind to the frozen thrones of Skyrim, from the shadow of Nocturnal to the madness of Sheogorath, his story is more than a retelling—it is the echo of destiny reforged.
This is a lore-rich, mythic fanfiction chronicling Revan Desidenius, son of Karliah and Gallus, the last of Barenziah’s blood, and the second soul of Nerevar.
A compilation of character arcs, Elder Scrolls history, and divine inheritance.Author note: Feel free to use Revan (my OC) in your own Elder Scrolls fanworks—just ask for permission, give proper credit, and link back to this story so I can read and appreciate your take on him. I’m happy to share, but I value respect and admiration for the story he came from.

Summary
Drip.
Drip.
Drip.
How long has it been since he heard a sound other than that? He can't really remember anymore. Not with how long he's spent locked away in this cell. How long has it been, actually? He doesn't know. Hard to measure time with no clock and no windows. Especially without another breathing soul in this godforsaken jail. The guards left long ago, when the prison first started flooding. They didn't bother with the inmates so they took matters into their own hands. Only problem is the inmates didn't bother with him either. Doesn't matter, most of them probably drowned anyway.

Summary
You're a practiced thief. Coin purses always for the taking. Drift in, rob 'em blind, and then drift away before the guards get wise. No attachments, no roots to hold you in place. So, how come the fancily dressed red headed Nord catches your attention? Probably because he has the most intriguing proposal for you. Maybe you'll stick around to see what he is all about.
Follows the Thieves Guild Questline of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Circe/Mercer Frey: Betrayal Unforgiven by GeniusBillionarePlayboyPhilanthropist
Fandoms: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
08 Jul 2025
Tags
Summary
Numb. She felt numb. Still unbelieving of what had happened. She was still at Honeyside, waking up beside Mercer at the first rays of dawn cast through the window. None of this had actually happened. Mercer hadn’t tried to kill her in that sanctuary.
Icy fingers traced the outline of the scar that now marred her neck. Just a thin line, but it made it hard to breathe, hard to think. Her hands shook, from the cold or rage or fear.
Mercer had tried to kill her.

Summary
When you were a child, you prayed to the Night Mother, and she answered your prayer, sending one of her children to free you from your abusers, and since then you have dedicated your life to training and researching, learning everything there was to know about the Dark Brotherhood while you searched for a way to join them, but when you get your chance, things are not what you expected them to be.
The last remaining Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary is crumbling, the five tenets forsaken, Sithis and the Night Mother mere afterthoughts, and no Listener to be found. But it would seem that your timing couldn't have been more perfect as the Night Mother is soon to arrive with her Keeper, and a face you'd given up hope on ever seeing again. Now it's up to you to find out who you can trust, if the voice echoing through your mind is truly the Night Mother, or if insanity has finally caught up with you, and if you will be able to lead the organization that saved your life back into greatness.
Basically this follows the Dark Brotherhood storyline, and then things get smutty because I can't control myself. Reader is the Dragonborn, and a high elf.
