Another "modern girl ends up in Skyrim" story. I've read several of these over the years, some fantastic, some less so...
Current world affairs being what they are, I stumbled on the inspiration to write one of my own. 

Katie Jones... one of the few modern, real world women who would probably actually survive if she were suddenly thrust into the world of Skyrim...
With the exception of having a few video games, she hardly considers herself very modern actually...
Life after college got surprisingly boring for a history major with no interest in teaching, but then when the whole world shuts down it actually got more boring... at first...

Living in Skyrim might actually be more to her liking than modern America... except that she's not the Dragonborn...
The last character she played as is the Dragonborn, and now Katie has to figure out how she fits into the picture.


(This is fanfiction. I do not own the Skyrim setting or most of the characters. The cover came from a free download from Wallpaper Cave that I found by googling "Skyrim scenery".)

To Protect the Dragonborn by SleepyHedgehog211
103 parts Complete Mature
So, if you look up Farkas's skill stats, they might surprise you... On one of my Skyrim play-throughs, I did the thing where you drop a piece of armor near Farkas and then tell him he can have it when he asks, and that makes him available as a follower... so I took Farkas with me all over Skyrim even though I'd only started the Companion's quest line. That prompted me to look some things up and come up with a few head-cannons... So here's the story that I tried to make tie everything in my head together... "Farkas is intrigued when he meets a small imperial archer and is unexpectedly caught up in her adventures. As he learns more about her he soon decides he'll do everything he can to protect her... and that promise takes him places he never imagined he'd go; brings discoveries no one thought possible; and changes the course of everything..." Marked "mature" just to be safe, there is occasional foul language and graphic descriptions of cannon-typical violence, implied sexual content, and character death and grieving. Also, obviously this is fanfiction, I do not own the setting or several of the characters. Cover art by Ignea_Hotbrew, @NHotbrew on Twitter.
The story of a Nightingale. Cyrodiil Tales. by Elsie2023
8 parts Ongoing Mature
This is a story set in Skyrim, and you could call it fan fiction if you like. But in truth, it's a medieval fantasy that tells the somber tale of a girl named Elsie. Born a Nightingale, Elsie grew up in one of Cyrodiil's hardest eras. Through her journey across her world and her time, she fought to survive, loved and lost, laid her loved ones to rest, founded a new religion, and ultimately built an empire. She dealt with Daedric Princes-or rather, she was a pawn in their divine and intricate games. As she grew, she gained immense power, ruling over people and nations alike. Yet, throughout her life, she managed to hold on to her innocence and the child within. So this story, told and written by her own hand, may seem to you both naive and tender, despite the weighty themes it explores. I told her this might be the case, but she only smiled and replied, "Daddy, let things be as they are. That's the world as I saw and felt it; those are the places and times I lived in." "So be it," I sighed.

Skylar is Skyrim's saviour. She's defeated Alduin and now she's looking for something else to do to pass her time. That's when she came across Jorrvaskr, the home of the Companions. The type of work she does there lives up to her expectations enormously, but then she learns about a family secret...one that could threaten her position in Jorrvaskr and compromise the friendships she's made. *** The only characters I own in this story are Skylar and Marco. Everything else belongs to Bethesda, including some dialogue and some plot.

Eliza, a inspiring bard, has come to Riften for a fresh start for herself and her nephew, Bo. She thought she was ready for whatever the city offered her. She couldn't have been more wrong. After several mishaps, she finally regrets her decision and is about to leave the poor excuse of a city, but then she is found by a member of a mysterious organization operating within Riften who gives her an offer she can't exactly ignore. . . I'm not Todd Howard, therefore I do not own Skyrim. This is a fanfic about my non-dragonborn character.
Eyes Opened by Winterbunny13
66 parts Complete Mature
Story following a female reader x companions arc of Skyrim. Relationships will be focused on Vilkas ( because I like him the best, obviously ) but the others will have a significant role as well. Your role will be a more timid girl who is trained within the companions and that's where she opens up. Playing this as if it's a family, because this is the faction that most acts like it, aside from the brotherhood. Enjoy being the new whelp. As with my others, pov is subject to change but it will be clear enough for you, warnings of lemon content will be displayed on the part it pertains to and these are all first drafts, so mind the minor spelling, grammar or fucked up sentence. For some reason, Wattpad decided to jumble up some of the order of parts. Been trying to fix it forever. Sorry. Surprise is after errand and adjustment is the last one.
"I Would Stand At Her Back, That The World Might Never Overtake Us..." by SleepyHedgehog211
17 parts Complete Mature
Farkas x Dragonborn fan fiction From Farkas's point of view, based on another play-through of mine. Companions quest line and part of main story quest line, mostly cannon compliant but not entirely. 'A wolf mates for life' and the other relationship troubles the beast blood causes. Farkas is not as dumb as everyone thinks. Slow-burn and "damn it, kiss her already!" Also, Vilkas x Lydia And it's a fan fiction, so the only thing I own is my specific version of the Dragonborn, everything else belongs to Bethesda. Some dialogue comes directly from gameplay as well.
An's Diary (Skyrim Fanfic) by Adventur3Hat
32 parts Complete
Marcurio, a mercenary magician, is hired by the mysterious Dovahkiin for the second time. But this time, he's been recruited to accompany her in her attempt to uncover her past and find out why her first memory is of her waking up outside Skyrim's borders in the middle of a Stormcloak/Imperial skirmish. This is a story injected into my personal Skyrim character and experience. It's a creative spin on the existing characters and situations, giving it more life and reality than the mindless video game characters in the game. "This is, without a doubt, the best book I've read on Wattpad. I cried at times, laughed at some, but overall, I absolutely loved this book. Marcurio is <3 " -BaleighCam "This was the best story I have read in a LONG time." -Minnesota_Writer "I love how original this story is. It's perfect." -Vidjauser "i love this so much. you're amazing...." -The_Nightshade_Thief " *explosion of feels* " -Wolfheart_thefangirl Best rating: #2 in elderscrollsv Disclaimer: If you're not familiar with the game Skyrim, this may be confusing. Everything except my Dovahkiin and the story belongs to Bethesda.
His Harbinger by SleepyHedgehog211
13 parts Complete Mature
Vilkas x Dragonborn fan fiction Originally titled "You Don't Have to Save The World Alone, Harbinger," but that was long and a little ridiculous. My most recent Skyrim play-through, personal character idea (female nord Dragonborn) and a few head-cannons that went with it. Dragonborn knows she's the Dragonborn and many other things about Skyrim. Companions quest-line, civil war quest-line, and main story quest-line (consider this a spoiler warning!) Mostly from Vilkas's point of view and the Dragonborn's point of view. And of course as this is a fan-fiction, the only character that is mine is my specific version of the Dragonborn, everyone else belongs to Bethesda. A portion of the dialogue comes directly from the game as well. Also, no smut, but there will be some strongly suggestive occasions so I marked it "mature". Other tag suggestions would be appreciated.
[CURRENTLY BEING EDITED] Moonlight's Eclipse (Brynjolf/OC Fanfic) by TheRussetNightingale
36 parts Complete Mature
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. ___ This is the official edit of my previous Brynjolf/OC story, Moonlight's Embrace. I'm leaving the original up, but I figured that since the edits are basically a different story, I might as well. I hope you enjoy what is essentially Moonlight's Embrace 2.0! Rated R/Mature for violence and sexual content. NO LEMONS. VERY STEAMY, NO SHADES OR SMUT. NOTE: WATTPAD HAS BEEN REARRANGING MY STORY PARTS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS HAPPENS. SERIOUSLY. PLEASE. I WOULD RATHER REARRANGE THE PARTS EVERY SINGLE MORNING FOR YOU ALL THAN LOSE YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT AS A READER. Highest rating: #1 in Russet #1 in Scrolls
