It has been a mere six months, since the Dark Brotherhood had to relocate to Dawnstar... Six months of peace; or as peaceful as things can get with a group of assassins. The Listener, a Khajiit has also been having a bit of fun stealing from the locals. On one such night, the Listener returns finding a certain jester missing... He then looks to the Dark Brotherhood's Unholy Matron, the Nightmother for answers, which really only raises more questions... An unknown enemy is taking shape, a person's life that seems dear to the Night Mother is threatened; but before this person can be found the Listener will need to get unlikely help in the form of a Khajiit he has grown to hate with every fiber of his being...

His Harbinger
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.Complete
The Dragonborn Comes (a Skyrim fanfiction)
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.Complete

No Place in Heaven
In the Ascendant Peacekeeping Guild of Ethèria, where oases float above the wasted earth, the only problems are the ones sparked by the brutish Deadlanders below. So every Ascendant, once proven worthy, is Blessed by the immortal Guild Father with a supernatural ability that helps them quell the Deadlanders' disputes, divide resources fairly, and stop wars - all without being seen. Ethèria itself is a paradise. Not for seventeen-year-old Quinlan Petrix, a traitor's son. Born and raised in the Ascendant Guild and yet to receive a Blessing, Quinlan blames his mother's betrayal of the Guild ten years ago. When he's assigned an undercover mission to the Deadlands because he blends in with the Deadlanders, he's pissed but determined to undo the damage his mother has done. He joins the Guild's best Silencer - assassin is such an unpleasant word - on a trip below the clouds where a rebel organization against the Guild leader has taken root. If he can nip the rebellion in the bud and restore order, maybe he'll be granted the Blessing he's always wanted, along with a true place in the Guild. But it turns out that the Deadlanders aren't brutes at all, and the Guild leaders are exploitative bastards who wring others dry so they can sustain Ethèria. The Father's next plan? Binding the Ascendants to his will as their "Blessings" grow out of their control and take over their minds. The "Blessing" meant for Quinlan is the worst curse of all, thanks to his mother's secret past and lineage. If Quinlan can't successfully play double-agent and facilitate the revolt against the Guild leaders, they'll use him to destroy both worlds he has come to know, including the only real friends Quinlan has ever had. Well, heaven's overrated anyway.Complete
Honor of the Dragonborn
Third story to "His Harbinger," sequel to "Something to Protect." Everything makes much more sense if you at least read "His Harbinger" first. Vilkas x Dragonborn (established) Farkas x Lydia (also established and a bit background) Based on my play through of the Dragonborn DLC with my Dragonborn Krinna Dovh, a female Nord. Krinna has visions and premonitions so there are some things she just knows (continuing a headcannon established in the first two books). Mostly told from Vilkas's perspective, with occasional snippets from the Dragonborn's perspective. Also explores aspects of married life; Vilkas being hot-tempered, but sweet and loyal. Story is set after the Companions quest line, the civil war, and the main story line is complete (events of "His Harbinger") and after the Dawnguard DLC (events of "Something to Protect") Also not entirely cannon compliant. And of course this is a fanfiction, the only thing unique to me is my specific characterization of the Dragonborn, everything else belongs to Bethesda, including portions of the dialogue. And lastly, marked mature for some strongly suggestive occasions (I won't write the details, but they're married), and occasional vulgar language.Complete
Dark Brotherhood: Ancient Blood
A self-illustrated post-Skyrim story beyond the fall of the Dark Brotherhood~ After a surreal event, Cicero is inexplicably thrown back into a clear state of mind and his memories from his life prior to his madness return. We begin to learn who he really is... or was. Mind games begin from external influences in what seems to be a conspiracy way bigger than him or the Dark Brotherhood. He becomes a wild card that all sides want to play against each other. With all of this, he has to deal with Jade; a narcissistic Listener who WON'T LISTEN. Cicero's a hypocrite trying to protect her from herself and destroy the demons from her past while running from his own in denial. This story also includes: Daedric Prince mischief, the Tonal Architect rising, the curse of the Green Pact Oathbreaker, and lots of secrets, betrayal, mysteries, and messy unrequited love... no seriously- *This is not a simple love story.* This is a story about foolish hearts. ------------------------------- This is a remaster of book one of my "Foolish Hearts Saga". I'm gradually posting the remastered chapters with all new/updated art and using Wattpad as a draft archive of sorts. If you'd prefer to read on A03 or DA, please check my profile for the link!

The Brothers Moonborn
Only months after Skyrim's victory over the Thalmor invaders, Vilkas Moonborn of the Companions enjoys the quiet that peace time has brought the land. Other than taking an odd job with his twin brother, Farkas, Vilkas spends most of his time taming his two children or tending to his heavily pregnant wife, Ylva. But when a recurring dream reveals a worrying truth about his past, Vilkas finds himself in a bind. Ylva is only a few months away from delivering their third child, but he fears that he must follow this dream. If he trusts his instincts, he could finally uncover the truth about his past. Who were his parents? Where were they when he and Farkas were kidnapped? Are they still out there? Determined to find the truth, Vilkas enlists the help of his brother, and together, the brothers set off to learn what they can about who they are. As they march across Skyrim searching for clues, a nagging thought plagues Vilkas's every waking moment. What if they weren't ready to learn the truth?
Honor and Glory
Book One of the Honor and Glory Trilogy After training for over a year to fulfill her destiny as Dragonborn and defeat Alduin, Ylva knew she would need a challenge. Joining the Companions in Whiterun seemed like the only guild she could ever call home. But she still doesn't feel quite settled. None of the Companions know she's the Dragonborn, the savior of Skyrim. And she doesn't want them to know. What would they say if they knew? Would they respect her? Or would they hate her and tell her to leave? Would they scoff at the idea that a woman barely into her adulthood had been the one to save them? Maybe not all of them, but Vilkas, one of the most respected members within the Circle, and one of the most honor-bound men she has ever met, can't seem to fathom that thought. Because of this, Ylva doesn't know if she could ever tell her new family who she truly is. NOTE: I do not own Skyrim, the Companions, or any of the dialogue from this game. This is a fanfiction and a fanfiction only; I only own my original characters and dialogue. Sequel: To Kill A DragonbornComplete

Eight years have passed since then, and Tali hears rumours that assassins have a target on Atemu's head. Seeking to save his friend and the new Kai, he infiltrates the assassins, intent to take them out from within the Medjay fortress.

Now he must face his past actions and the guilt that has been crawling under his skin for eight years, while learning what it is to forgive himself and accept he is worthy of the love he both feels, and is given.Complete
