Irrissa Idolyan's life stopped being easy a long time ago, but since her arrival in Skyrim and her discovering that she is something called "Dragonborn", it's been even worse still. And now, with her younger sister getting herself into an unforgivable situation, the newest addition to the Dark Brotherhood making unwanted advances, and her own feelings toward the jester Cicero growing far past friendship, things are going downhill fast.

The Concubine's Apprentice (an Avatar: The Last Airbender Fanfiction Zuko x OC)
An Avatar: The Last Airbender Fanfiction (Zuko X OC) "And lastly, we are free, but we are not our own persons." At this, the student frowned and looked up at her teacher. "How can that be free?" The beautiful woman smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes like it usually did. It was a sad smile. "You will learn it all eventually, little one. For now, we must practice your footwork." Mentored from youth by the most notorious entertainer in all of Fire Nation, Chiyo is destined to follow her path to greatness. However during the time of war and chaos, she must decide: Should she do what is right? Should she do as her mentor had always done? Or should she follow her heart? I do not own any of the characters except for the OCs I've introduced. I do not own the pictures used in the cover and those to be used in reference to future chapters. Any historical details I impart on this story is not entirely accurate and is based only on my limited knowledge of the subject. Anyways, please enjoy!Complete

The Thief |Sokka
Long ago, the four Nations lived together in harmony. Then the Fire Nation attacked. The world was about to change forever and for the airbenders, there would be no coming back. A hundred years after the war, all airbenders save for the Avatar are thought to be dead. But in one of the numerous cells of the Boiling Rock a young airbender named Jaya resides, keeping her identity a secret from all. A thief, a killer. A failure of an airbender. Fate plays a curious game, though, and even the most worthless of people may come to have a second chance. In Jaya's case, it all comes down to one question; how many good deeds are needed until she truly feels she's lived up to her ancestry? NOTES •Any characters that do not appear in Avatar: The Last Airbender belong to me. •The a:tla universe belongs to the creators. •This is a companion story to "The Pawn".Complete
Honor of the Dragonborn
Third story to "His Harbinger," sequel to "Something to Protect." Everything makes much more sense if you at least read "His Harbinger" first. Vilkas x Dragonborn (established) Farkas x Lydia (also established and a bit background) Based on my play through of the Dragonborn DLC with my Dragonborn Krinna Dovh, a female Nord. Krinna has visions and premonitions so there are some things she just knows (continuing a headcannon established in the first two books). Mostly told from Vilkas's perspective, with occasional snippets from the Dragonborn's perspective. Also explores aspects of married life; Vilkas being hot-tempered, but sweet and loyal. Story is set after the Companions quest line, the civil war, and the main story line is complete (events of "His Harbinger") and after the Dawnguard DLC (events of "Something to Protect") Also not entirely cannon compliant. And of course this is a fanfiction, the only thing unique to me is my specific characterization of the Dragonborn, everything else belongs to Bethesda, including portions of the dialogue. And lastly, marked mature for some strongly suggestive occasions (I won't write the details, but they're married), and occasional vulgar language.Complete
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐒𝐮𝐧 || 𝘢𝘵𝘭𝘢
(Originally The Southern Water Tribe Firebender) When a pair of twins were born under a terrible storm they said the spirits were displeased with the Southern Water Tribe's leader. Some believing his bloodline was tainted. Cursed. Kallik grew up knowing she was different. Often keeping her distance from the rest of her tribe after the incident involving her late mother. It was safer that way. No one would know her secret that way. Which is why after she and her siblings found a boy frozen in the ice, she realized how hard that secret would become. Especially with a prince hellbent on capturing them hot on their trail. ------- Yes, it's finally time to give a proper OC and rewrite to the fic. Enjoy the fixed version. ------- (Language) Season One 🌧 Season Two ⛰ Season Three 🔥 (I own nothing)
The Song of Deirdre Part I
Deirdre Morningsong returns to Skyrim seeking vengeance on the Nords who murdered her parents, only to be captured by Imperial soldiers who mistake her for a Stormcloak rebel. After escaping both the Imperial dungeons and the destructive return of the dragon Alduin, she resolves to discover what strange power is within her, and what the dragons have to do with it. Follows the main quest lines of the game, weaving them into a story of adventure and romance, with numerous twists on the canon. I'm hoping it's equally enjoyable for those who've played the game and those who haven't. Trigger warnings: rape is mentioned, one is attempted and prevented, but none are completed. Some other sexual assault. The first chapters are PG-13, but later ones become R-rated. (Feedback on appropriate ratings appreciated.) Skyrim is part of the Elder Scrolls series of games, copyright by Bethesda Softworks. The image for the book cover is from the game. I've only posted Part I here, but will soon post the rest (four parts total, 62 chapters). I've worked in nonfiction up to now because it's easier for me to describe places and events I can experience first-hand. I'm hoping that writing this fanfic will be a bridge to doing more of my own fiction.Complete
Ship Shorts
The occasional one-shot of my characters and their romantic interest goes here. Feel free to make a request! I just might pick it up. :) Many, if not most, shorts are inspired by songs. I'll put the song up if it did! I'm including the one-shots already up on my profile so I can have them all nice and neat in here. Forewarning, some of them are rated R/M for various reasons, from borderline citrus to hideously gruesome. Yes, there are torture scenes and awful deaths in a book about ships. All shipped/unrequited characters are at least 21 years of age. As always, I'll post steamy, sweet, and/or sexy, but not smutty.

To Protect the Dragonborn
So, if you look up Farkas's skill stats, they might surprise you... On one of my Skyrim play-throughs, I did the thing where you drop a piece of armor near Farkas and then tell him he can have it when he asks, and that makes him available as a follower... so I took Farkas with me all over Skyrim even though I'd only started the Companion's quest line. That prompted me to look some things up and come up with a few head-cannons... So here's the story that I tried to make tie everything in my head together... "Farkas is intrigued when he meets a small imperial archer and is unexpectedly caught up in her adventures. As he learns more about her he soon decides he'll do everything he can to protect her... and that promise takes him places he never imagined he'd go; brings discoveries no one thought possible; and changes the course of everything..." Marked "mature" just to be safe, there is occasional foul language and graphic descriptions of cannon-typical violence, implied sexual content, and character death and grieving. Also, obviously this is fanfiction, I do not own the setting or several of the characters. Cover art by Ignea_Hotbrew, @NHotbrew on Twitter.Complete
