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, an egotistical 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.

Blooded Mate
[[MATURE CONTENT]] Pack, family, mate. Loyalty, respect, honor. These are the words that form the foundation of the wolf society. At six years old, Ethan had to choose between his Alpha title and his survival on the night of his father's death. As a teenager, his family and lineage are further humiliated because he has not had his first transformation. Between dealing with a bully on a power trip, the challenges of high school, a less than sympathetic alpha, and his current impairment, Ethan is barely surviving. His daily prayer to Luna was simple: a request to find his wolf. But he would soon learn that the moon goddess does not do things by half-measures. On the night of his first transformation, she also tossed in a mate who wants absolutely nothing to do him and a vengeful alpha hell-bent on ripping his neck out. Soon he learns that high school bullies and homework are the least of his worries when he has to flee his pack and live with his mate: the warrior vampire whose entire history was forged from killing his kind. Learning to control his wolf, avoiding assassins, fighting his mate, and for his mate become daily struggles. But battles come in many forms and not always when or where he expects them. Soft, sensual victories within the sheets are as just as important as the hard-won, blood-filled ones on a gory forest floor. And failure on any battlefield could mean a slow, painful death. A/N -Warning This is a gay-themed novel with some fighting. So there will be intense scenes both in bed and out of it. If you are not a fan of boyxboy action, then this novel is not for you. PS. I do not own the rights to the images in the chapters.

WARHAVEN
His irises swirled slowly, an enticing pale silver against his stark black lashes. They illuminated slightly, so quick it was gone in a blink. He broke our eye contact, lifting his head straight. A darkly amused expression appeared. It happened so quickly it seemed like a mask appeared. I blinked myself out of my trance, and turned on my heel to see what was at the receiving end of his humor. Augustus stood there. His face contorted into anger as he took in my ruined dress. His hands shook in his fury. "Roman." Augustus nearly snarled the name. "Have you come to join us, little King? The party was just getting started." So his name was Roman, some big secret. I rolled my eyes at the reveal as well as his taunting sentence. "Davina, what is going on here?" Augustus asked, his eyes full of betrayal. I had never seen him so guarded. I could feel his anger through my bones. His words were careful. What was he talking about? My brows furrowed at the insinuation, "What?" A line of smoke floated around my right shoulder and come between Augustus and I. How convenient. I had the desire to swipe it away but didn't. "What can I say, she...seduced me." Roman purred. His voice was a sensual whisper in my left ear. I subconsciously lifted my shoulder and backed away from it. Not only because he had lost his fucking mind, but also because it shot down my spine, caressing my skin. ** This book contains mature content.

Worthless (Unedited Version)
[Book #1 in the Blackwood Pack series] Currently in the process of rewriting (it'll be uploaded as a separate book) ________________ Asher has been abused by the man who has held him prisoner for as long as he can remember. He longs to be free from the unjust violence, but there are reasons he has to stay, people he can't leave behind. Kade has been away from his pack and finally decides to return. While doing border patrol he catches a whiff of what seems to be an average wolf. The only thing is... that wolf is his mate. Determined, Kade takes Asher away from his abuser (along with two others). Asher, not being used to people being kind, is suspicious at being welcomed into Kade's pack with open arms. Will Kade be able to show Asher that he deserves love? Can Asher take down the walls he no longer needs to survive? And what will they do when Asher's abuser wants him back, even going as far to enlist a rival pack? _________________ ---The Blackwood Pack series--- -Worthless -His Reluctant Mate (coming soon) -Let Me Be Your Drug (coming soon) -Lies and Bullet Wounds [Side Story/Prequel] (coming soon) _________________ ******Not edited****** [Trigger Warning]: Child abuse, rape, depression, and self-hate.

Honey and Ink [Dragon Age: Inquisition]
"Humour me." "But what about you? Don't you need luck too?" Lyric asked, protest forming a small crack in her voice. "I don't know what you'll face before the end," Cullen insisted, his face drawing nearer hers until their foreheads were touching. Her hand was palm-up in his, then, the dark leather of his glove and the moonlight's ivory flush making her fingers look impossibly pale. He placed the lucky coin there, closing her fist around it. "Just humour me." ---- Slow burn romance between Cullen and my femme Lavellan, Lyric. The story is mostly made up of moments between characters, skipping some of the action we are familiar with. Spans the events of Dragon Age: Inquisition, base game only. - 18+ only - Disclaimers: - Content/trigger warnings for minor character injury, blood/gore, and sexual content. - This is a a slow burn, but it is a romance nonetheless. *Not* smut; there are also character pieces for my Inquisitor and some others that are not related to the romance, but it's all part of Lyric's story. - There are time jumps, and some slight canon divergence/original elements, but nothing that impacts the integrity of the story in a major way. - I have only played Inquisition and all associated expansions, but not the earlier games. - This is my interpretation of the story- I take some liberties with minor variations and some situations of my own. - My lore is not perfect, but I'm trying! Feel free to gently correct me if I get something wrong! - All art (including the cover) is my original art! - If you know me, no you don't.Complete![CICERO x READER [REIMAGINED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/397946754-256-k438347.jpg)
CICERO x READER [REIMAGINED]
You've slain dragons, walked away from burning temples, even carved down gods. But the weight of your deeds has never felt heavier than now-after one boy's desperate plea leads you to kill an old woman who never lifted a hand to fight back. Haunted by guilt and shadowed by whispers, you retreat to the only thing you know: the road. But when a strange jester speaks of secrets long buried-of a guild that kills for coin and calls it worship-curiosity takes root where certainty once lived. He knows too much. He grins too easily. And despite every instinct, you follow. The forests of Falkreath are waiting. So is the black door. And the truth behind the madness? It might just be what breaks you. Decided to go ahead and essentially rewrite my other story (love bound in spilt blood) as I wasn't happy with the overall quality and want to write something a little more serious. (Ironic, I know, as if this isn't Skyrim fan fiction.) I want to follow roughly some of the previously made plot points in love bound, but overall have most things be more refined. Also, I want to actually take some creative liberties, and get away from real in game dialogue, lol. If you enjoyed Love Bound, please consider giving this a read, and thank you every one who has given me any kind of support!![A Drink Before Battle [MxM] ✅](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/311391597-256-k601819.jpg)
A Drink Before Battle [MxM] ✅
General Sevei is of the firm opinion that Nobles are shady and Alchemists even shadier. Noble Alchemists are the absolute worst. He is not looking forward to partnering with one to guard the border. Upon their introduction, though, it would seem they have already met... under very intimate circumstances. Oh...,**** Set in the same world as Salvage, but we're going back in time for some Medieval sword and sorcery! This wholesome, happy-endings-all-around, smutty queer fantasy romance features an M/M main couple along with a host of supporting characters bringing some trans rep, some pan rep, some sex worker positivity, and even a straight ally who tries his darndest, bless his little puppy heart. Plenty of fluff, plenty of sexy times, a few funny bits, and our gang do all make it through the Horrors - but there is a war on, so there's also plenty of angst and a bit of bloody violence along the way. CW: Violence, violent death (no main characters), homophobic society, internalized homophobia and closeting, internalized transphobia (supporting character), war veteran ptsd, slavery (supporting character - no abuse of this character is depicted and sentiments are anti-slavery), strong language, detailed sexual content (all consensual), discussion of sex work.Complete
A Fool's Blade
Forced to spend some time away from the guild, Jade wonders about looking for work and comes across a strange-looking imperial man. He claims to be transporting his deceased mother, but is there more behind this story? After the encounter, Jade becomes kidnapped. Will she have what it takes to make it out alive? Kill or be killed, enter into Skyrim's Dark Brotherhood. Disclaimer: I don't own any characters, all rights belong to Bethedsa's Elder Scroll V: Skyrim. Author's Note: Alright, second Skyrim fanfiction! I know a lot of people like Cicero, so I thought I'd attempt to make a story. Cicero actually scares the mess out of me, so I'll see what I can do. Hopefully the Night Mother bestows some advice onto her Listener. Hail Sithis!

Book of the Dragonborn - Story of a Legendary Khajiit
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!Complete
