One hundred years after the events in Sovngarde and the end of the Civil War, the legendary Dragonborn lost to time is about to be unearthed. 

Someone has been sent to find him, collect him, and return him to High Hrothgar; the home of the Greybeards. A long-forgotten corrupted evil has begun to cast its shadow over the peaks and tundras of Skyrim, and the threat grows closer and more powerful with every passing sun. 

If there is any hope to be had of this world and the next surviving, may it all rest on the shoulders of the One.

~

This story takes place in 4e301 (4th Era, year 301) exactly one hundred years after the beginning of the main campaign in the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. This story's goal is to explore a possible future outcome in the world of Skyrim after the events of the Civil War, as well as bring a fresh story to the environment. 

https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Dragon_Language

If you're unfamiliar with the game, I highly recommend you at least have a basic understanding of what it's about, more or less. Anyone is still welcome to this story as there is much more to it than what the game presents. 

Regardless of your exposure level to the Elder Scrolls, please enjoy. 

DISCLAIMER: This story is 18+ and contains strong language, crude humor, expressions of graphic sexuality and heavy violence. If any of these things aren't 'your bag', or if you don't enjoy anything fantasy-related, there are many other books by many wonderful authors I encourage you to explore on this site.

Fire and Ice, Alduin's Daughter by FallenAngel2074
29 parts Complete
The World Eater has returned, and after one thousand years of safety, Ali meets a man who's destiny is to face none other than her father. With caution, she explores the depths of herself alongside this man who calls himself Dragonborn.... will she stop living in the past and isolation, and face her greatest fear? IMPORTANT NOTES: The ONLY character that belongs to me is Ali and Ivar and their backstories.. ALL other characters, including the Dragonborn, are NOT mine and belong to Bethesda Studios' "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim." All of the Dovahzul is accurate, I spent hours on a PDF I downloaded, Dovahzul Print Dictionary, to translate ALL of it. Pretty sure I'm nearly fluent in it just because of this book. Don't worry, whenever there's conversation in Dovahzul that is NOT in-game, I translated afterwards so you can understand if you don't already. There are some very short mature scenes, but it's not anything too detailed.

The Wolf Queen Awakens by ms_katonic
50 parts Complete Mature
Dragons may signify the world's end but as far as Elisif's concerned, her world ended well before that when Ulfric Stormcloak murdered her husband. So it is that no one's more surprised than her when a dragon attack on Solitude reveals that there's more to the High Queen in waiting than anyone suspected, leading her to make a pilgrimage to High Hrothgar that might just help her save her country... and quite possibly the world. Skyrim V:Elder Scrolls fanfiction in which a peace-loving young widow barely holding it together finds out she's Dragonborn and has to save the world.
Miraak, "The Great"; A Skyrim Fanfiction by FieldElf
19 parts Complete Mature
HIGHEST RANKINGS- #1 in Miraak (out of 63), #45 in Skyrim (out of 660?), #81 in ElderScrolls (out of 1k), #80 in Dragonborn (out of 1k) ~~~~~~~~ A new Dragonborn rises to fame after her beloved son is kidnapped by a mysterious entity who claims to be his father. As she searches for Miraak and Hroar, she is met with new friends and new land, as well as new enemies. With limited time, she throws herself in harm's way to save Hroar. However, despite the time she spent getting to Miraak, she will be met with two options: Will she kill Miraak, at the cost of unlocking a new enemy? Or will she spare him, at the cost of the damage he has done or will do? . . . . This is a Miraak x Reader in which the Reader is a female. This fanfiction is obviously made for entertainment and won't follow every single detail to the T. As a matter of fact, I am only including three of the seven Black Books, as they are all very similar until you get to the end of the quest in the actual game. Skyrim doesn't belong to me, I am just an author and long time big fan. None of the characters in the fanfiction are mine. Thank you for your support, and I hope you enjoy!

An's Diary (Skyrim Fanfic) by Adventur3Hat

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.
Skyrim Fanfiction - The Name of Fate | Alduin by Ciama-999

It began when the Last Dragonborn found a person who was also gifted in the way of Thu'um. She was younger than him, fragile, and extremely incompetent. Then came the question: Who was the Last Dragonborn? There was a reason behind every hatred, and the truth, long forgotten by many.

Book of the Dragonborn - Story of a Legendary Khajiit by KansasMoth
33 parts Complete
Throughout Tamriel, many heroes have come and gone, many of them boasting great legends to go along with their heroic deeds. The legendary Ysgramor conquered all of Skyrim, the Hero of Kvatch ended the Oblivion Crisis, the Vestige bested a Daedric Prince in combat, Cyrus the Restless brought peace to Stros M'Kai, Tiber Septim conquered all of the known world. None of them, however, can quite match the legends and myths that surround the Last Dragonborn, the slayer of the World-Eater. Though Alduin has been gone for many centuries, the Dragonborn's stories continue to fascinate and inspire scholars and hopeful heroes alike. ------- So, I've used the Dragonborn in question for a few stories, but never anything set purely in the Elder Scrolls universe itself, and as such, I'm gonna try something a little different from my usual stuff. This will read much like any biographical text, or at least, that's my goal, detailing the life of the Dragonborn, being written by an unknown author. Book cover comes directly from the in-game book of the in-game title. The books makes frequent mentions of lore-friendly mods on the Xbox One version of Skyrim. I know I've written something like this before, but I had some new ideas for it and I wasn't entirely sure how I wanted to squeeze them in without screwing up his timeline, so I felt a rewrite was in order. Hope you enjoy!

I'm only a beginner at writing and english is not my first language so please be considerate of my spelling and grammar errors. I have many ideas flowing in my head so please be patient while the plot slowly builds itself. I will give you more info on this novel later. Disclaimer: I do not own the cover!

Flame Without War by Mako50cal
21 parts Complete Mature
Two years have passed since the fall of Alduin and the shattering of Skyrim's illusions. War has paused. The world breathes-but not deeply. High Hrothgar, once a monastery of quiet contemplation, has become the highest court in the land, where kings, Jarls, and generals climb the mountain to seek counsel from a woman who once walked to her execution. That woman is Velastra-the Dragonborn, the last Lilmothiit, and the one who carries a dragon's soul in her heart and the weight of a fractured realm on her shoulders. Gone is the hunted outcast. In her place stands a tempered blade of wisdom and fire. Guided by the Greybeards, the ancient dragon Paarthurnax, and the once-imprisoned soul of Vaarnok-Silduz-Vahlok, Velastra now navigates a fragile peace where every word carries more power than a Shout. But not all voices that echo in the mountains seek harmony. As old enemies circle and secret truths rise like mist from the Throat of the World, Velastra must decide what kind of legacy she will leave behind: One forged in blood... Or one forged in flame.
