Cover is mine obvi(that's why it's lazy I guess). I don't own Skyrim or its characters. I only own Viriel and her pictures. First time writing seriously in maybe three years. Chapters will be published daily(for the most part).
This story will contain mature content.
Also, I've come to realize that the villain in this story is basically just Cinderella's evil stepmother.
I will be writing another Skyrim fanfic after this one with the Taliesin mod.

A Mage in the Night: A Skyrim Story
Aisha is a lone Khajiit seeking to escape her past in Skyrim, the frosty land of the Nords. When arrested for a crime she didn't commit, Aisha will join the local thieves guild. On her first mission, she comes across a crime syndicate who stole a priceless Dwemer mask. Aisha will travel all across Skyrim, gain new powers, and discover the true power of the Dwemer mask, and herself. This is my first completed fanfiction, and I encourage critical comments on prose, plot, and pacing. I tried to stick to the lore as best I could, and everything should (mostly) transition to the main plot of the game. I also tried to translate game mechanics and buffs as best I could in a literary format. I hope you enjoy it :) Disclaimer: The original characters are mine, but everything else belongs to Bethesda.

Moonlight's Eclipse (Brynjolf/OC Fanfic)
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 ScrollsComplete

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
Moonlight's Embrace (A Skyrim Fanfic) (ORIGINAL)
I don't know what I did to deserve this. Sundering of my soul, the destruction of all I held dear. Well, that's a bit dramatic, but hey. I've got to tell my story, don't I? Though I'll admit... perhaps the savior of the world isn't quite so honorable as she should have been. Let's get the exposition over with-- Why in all of Tamriel did I sell my goddamn soul?! ------- Hello! This story is currently being rewritten as Moonlight's Eclipse. It's quite the improvement! Take a look at my profile if you're interested! -------- Highest rankings: #1 in Brynjolf (01/05/19, 09/18/23) #1 in Scrolls (06/22/18) #1 in Skyrim (09/13/20, 11/02/22) ------- Morning Star=January Sun's Dawn=February First Seed=March Rain's Hand=April Second Seed=May Midyear=June Sun's Height=July Last Seed=August Heartfire=September Frostfall=October Sun's Dusk=November Evening Star=December ----------------------------- Original description: Are you kidding me? I went to Riften for a break. Being an adventurer isn't exactly an easy job all the time. Yet the first thing I do is get mixed up in the Thieves Guild. I must be a damn genius. Contains suggestive themes, strong language, alcohol use, and heavy descriptions of gore. Rated PG-13. ___Complete
