In the heart of Riften, where shadows cling to every corner and secrets are traded like coin, a mysterious tome unlocks an ancient power that threatens to consume the city. A reluctant hero, torn between the dangers of her past and the looming darkness of her present, must navigate treacherous alliances, deadly conspiracies, and the ever-watchful eyes of the Thalmor. As the lines between light and shadow blur, she faces a race against time to uncover the truth hidden deep within Riften's underbelly, before it consumes her-and everyone she cares about.
Mystery, magic, and betrayal await in this tale of survival, where even the darkest secrets have a price.

"I Would Stand At Her Back, That The World Might Never Overtake Us..."
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.Complete

Fire and Ice, Alduin's Daughter
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.Complete
Walk in the Shadows
Femke, a Nordic-Bosmeri woman, has come to Riften to start over. She thought she was ready for adventuring in the big, wide world outside of her meager home in the mining colony of Dawnstar. She couldn't have been more wrong. After several mishaps and roadblocks, she stumbles to Riften, footsore, hungry, and with no money to her name, in hopes of finding some good, honest work. But no one seems to trust her because she has elven blood. Turned away and alone, she is found by two members of a mysterious organization operating within Riften. One, a Nordic man called Brynjolf, takes pity on the poor human-elf and offers her a job, and if she does well, a spot within the "Guild," as he puts it. NOTE: If I owned Skyrim, I would have no need for writing fanfictions just for the heck of it. I only own Femke and my original dialogue. Everything else is credited to Bethesda Game Studios.Complete
The Thief of Hearts (A Brynjolf Fanfic)
Two years after the Dragonborn's victory, a darkness has settled over Riften. The Thieves Guild has gone into hiding, while the Dark Brotherhood roams the streets with terror and brute force. It would seem a rival war is just begging to begin. But all of that changes when a young servant girl named Spina gets thrown into the mix. Suddenly she becomes the newest Thieves Apprentice and things in Riften will never be the same. I own none of the characters or pictures of Skyrim.Complete
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
