Summary
After what felt like an eternity of nothingness, a young woman from Earth awakens to a second chance at life—
But not on the Earth she has known. On Nirn—a world she once believed to be fiction. Reborn beneath the scorching sun of Hammerfell’s deserts, she must navigate a land of gods, monsters, and ancient prophecy, with nothing but the knowledge she gained from a video game.

Summary
I downloaded a mod (Teldryn Serious by Undriel) once and got inspired. Now we have a fic and 500-headcanons that tie into it.
A fic surrounding the pitfalls of having the proverbial weight of the world thrust upon you when you'd rather be doing anything but. Or, two legendary heroes who should never have been given that responsibility in the first place eventually find solace in one another's plight. I plan on tackling The Teldryn Serious mod as a starting point before tackling the Main Quest and Dragonborn. Ghosts of the Tribunal will also play a part as well.
Point of view changes between Sydari and Teldryn as they are both main characters here.
Updating at my leisure. Art may be added if I draw things that are related.
(Chapters 1 and 2 are due for rewrites due to characterisation changes)
Prequal work that follows Teldryn Sero (Ensirhaddon) journey as the Nerevarine -Sleepers Awake

Summary
The World-Eater returns, and the wheel of prophecy turns to the Last Dragonborn to stop him. But fate twists, and the Last Dragonborn is revealed to be not one soul, but four: a banished warrior of the Skaal; a sorcerous Vigilant and renegade of Summerset; an orcish ex-bandit; and a strange little Argonian who flouts every rule.
A few chance encounters lead to intrepid adventures...
...Encroaching shadows beget grim discoveries...
...And furtive meetings in Whiterun evolve into a council of war, as the four set into motion events that will shape the future of Tamriel. -

Summary
The land heaved again once more, the pulsing waves of meaning ripping through everything within range with its deadly force. Grass blackened and died from the intensity of the hate and understanding that had been fused into the shout, trees crumbled into rotting dust and those few animals and insects that had not yet managed to flee to a safe distance were cast down as broken husks. In those few moments the full meaning of Mortal, Finite, Temporary infused itself into Sovngarde’s eternal, spiritual nature and corrupted it within range of the pulsating might of Dragonrend.
----------
Kaius Desin sits on the Throne of Skyrim as High King, but these are troubled times. Alduin may be dead; slain by Kaius in Sovngard but now the true war has begun.
From every cave and darkened crevice the Falmer are beginning to appear in numbers that herald the horror that is to come. Kaius will need to forge Skyrim's unity in the midst of a full blown invasion from the underground but far to the south of Skyrim and the Empire, the Aldmeri Dominion is watching the unfolding events with keen interest...

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
Surviving the dragon attack at Helgen by the skin of their teeth, three elves find themselves tossed into the midst of ancient legends, a civil war, and a hell of a lot of problems.

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.

Summary
This journal follows the journey of a woman destined to become the Dragonborn of legend.
Told in her own words, it chronicles Luna—a fiercely independent Nord and outsider—as she arrives in Skyrim amidst the fires of civil war. Navigating a fractured land, she aligns herself with powerful factions and makes choices that shape the future of entire provinces.
But as Luna unearths the deep-rooted unrest of Skyrim, she also begins to uncover the buried truths within herself. With every battle, alliance, and revelation, the pull of her blood grows stronger—transforming her into something more than mortal, and not always for the better.

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 a take on The Elder Scrolls Universe set in the 4th Era.
Skyrim seems to have recovered from the Great War of Tamriel, but The White-Gold Concordat has placed more tension with those of the North of the continent. With the banning of Talos worship, Thalmor agents entering the province, and the deterioration of guilds, it would seem the land of Men has yet to return to its former glory.
Secrets, betrayals, love, family and a hint of time travel: the gods and Daedra will enjoy watching these tales in the eyes of three individuals and those around them.

To her surprise, she stumbles across the Dragonborn, who's not quite what he seems...

Summary
I'm Russet. I'll admit I'm not the honorable person I used to be. I'd help the Jarls, save towns from monsters, and roughhouse with my fellow Companions. But I'm no hero, not anymore. I'm a thief, and it's time I embraced that. I'm a Nord with blood on my hands, a sinner's soul, and a lifetime of bad choices behind me. We all make mistakes; it's just hard to believe that mine led me here.
