Summary
Skyrim is burning. And the one person who could have saved it lit the match.
In the aftermath of a broken Empire and a festering Civil War, whispers of blood and betrayal slither through the shadows. One by one, the pillars of Skyrim’s fragile stability begin to fall. Maven Black-Briar and her corrupt dynasty are brought low. The Companions are hunted nearly to extinction. The Jagged Crown vanishes before it can unite a rebellion.
And as war erupts between Stormcloak and Legion, something far deadlier moves unseen.
Under the cold hand of the Night Mother, the Dark Brotherhood rises once more—not from shadows, but from the throne rooms of Jarl and General alike. Ulfric Stormcloak. General Tullius. First Emissary Elenwen. Jarl Elisif the Fair. One by one, they are removed like pieces from a game played by unseen hands.
In the ruins left behind, the surviving Jarls gather in Dragonsreach to ask the only question that matters: Where is the Dragonborn?
And in the rafters above, she listens.

Summary
The Thieves Guild had once held power across Skyrim but a streak of bad luck had left them powerless even in their home town of Riften. They are all waiting on something new to change their luck. What they don't expect is a law-minded bard and his healer wife setting up shop in town and slowly changing it for the better. A comedy of errors of thieves trying and failing to dig up dirt on their marks turns dark as Mercer Frey reveals exactly how far he's willing to go to get the Guild back on top. A sequel/story in compliment to my fic Restoration and Speech (that does not require reading the other first).

Summary
A direct sequel to "The Amorous Argonian Adventurer". With Alduin defeated, Keeran-Rei must now navigate Skyrim as the threat of the World-Eater and his dragons are no more, though the Dragonborn's sense of adventure and legendary libido have not diminished in the slightest.
I had originally not anticipated starting the sequel so soon, but I was too excited to get back in to things.

The Living Pact: The Chronicles of Revan Desidenius by JustYourFriend

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
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
