"I never wanted to be a thief."

Rura Vantanox left Cryodiil and all her painful memories behind for a fresh start in Skyrim, only to end up in the crossfire of an Imperial ambush. After narrowly surviving Helgen with her life, she makes her way southeast to Riften, claiming the catacombs of the city as her home. A poorly-planned heist against the infamous Thieves Guild leaves her at the mercy of a certain red-haired Nord who spares her life in exchange for selling her soul to his band of kleptomaniacs. But the life of a thief is surely more perilous than an earning and honest day's work, and Rura's Imperial luck is starting to run dry.

This story loosely follows the original plot of the Thieves Guild questline, filled with lots of behind-the-scenes background information and larger-than-life plot twists. Oh yeah, and it's a romance.

(Contains mature scenes, including violence, blood/gore, sexual content, strong language, and alcohol use.)

Songs of the Crooked by Kitty_Bacon

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.

Walk by the Shadows by xDRAG0N0VAx

Macayla wanted to die, only to wake up in the company of Brynjolf, a fellow thief. He recruits her to join Riften's Thieves Guild; even though they've had some trouble, she does. But she could never have imagined why the trouble started and her part in all of it. If you keep to the shadows, you won't be seen.

Moonlight's Eclipse (Brynjolf/OC Fanfic) by TheRussetNightingale

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 Morrowind #1 in Skyrim #1 in Russet #1 in Scrolls

Walk in the Shadows by Wolfiesta

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.

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.

Legends of Skyrim: The Sapphire Smuggler (BOOK THREE) by LonelyAssassin99

"Scouting reveals potential market expansion, due to distrust of established dealers." - Skooma Runner Logs In the golden sands of Elsweyr, Ji'ssa Janmin danced between shadows as a cunning skooma dealer, her wares whispered promises of euphoria to those who dared indulge. But when treachery slithered into her circle, betrayal forced Ji'ssa to flee her homeland, leaving behind the warm embrace of the desert winds for the frostbitten embrace of Skyrim's harsh north. In the shadowed alleys of Riften, where whispers of thievery echo through the cobblestones, Ji'ssa found refuge among the outcasts and rogues of the Thieves Guild. With her sharp and agile claws, she swiftly climbed the ranks, her past in Elsweyr fading into the mist as she forged a new path in the land of the Nords. But even amidst the Guild, echoes of her past haunt Ji'ssa's steps, reminding her that in the world of shadows, trust is a rare property, and betrayal lurks in every corner. Now, as she navigates the intricate web of Guild politics and personal vendettas, Ji'ssa Janmin must tread carefully, for in Skyrim, survival belongs to the cunning and the quick-witted.
