Summary
Twenty years of enforcing Thalmor law have left Ondolemar with few illusions and fewer friends.
Now officers are dying, rebellion is brewing, and the woman assigned as his aide is Elenwen’s spy, waiting for the first crack in his armor.The closer he studies her, the thinner the line between control and surrender becomes.
In a fortress built on suspicion, desire is just another weapon and the sharpest one might already be at his throat. -

Summary
A kind, self-assured, wandering orc and an unhinged, self-depricating, inter-dimensional human teenager is not a combination one might expect.
"What are you doing?"
"It's called dying."
"You just swung a sword a couple of times."
"Yeah. And it's killing me."

Circe/Mercer Frey: Betrayal Unforgiven by GeniusBillionarePlayboyPhilanthropist
Fandoms: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Summary
Numb. She felt numb. Still unbelieving of what had happened. She was still at Honeyside, waking up beside Mercer at the first rays of dawn cast through the window. None of this had actually happened. Mercer hadn’t tried to kill her in that sanctuary.
Icy fingers traced the outline of the scar that now marred her neck. Just a thin line, but it made it hard to breathe, hard to think. Her hands shook, from the cold or rage or fear.
Mercer had tried to kill her.

Summary
She was falling—weightless, no backup plan; this was the backup plan—locked in a struggle for choice against a man wearing an old friend's face. He had dived after her, determined to drag her back to The Order, back to a fate worse than death. She wouldn't give them the satisfaction. Never again.
His grip was strong, but her bloodied hand slipped free. His armor was sturdy, but her knife found the delicate circuits of his booster. They were both plummeting toward the streets below, and now neither of them would escape.
Her mission was done, she had won her freedom, and she had ripped victory for her people from the bitter jaws of defeat. If this was how it had to end, so be it—she would take a traitor with her.
Fate had different plans, however, as a golden portal opened in the air below the dueling pair and swallowed them up.

Summary
In the fourth era all Dwemer are thought to have vanished without a trace. However one straggler seems to disagree.
Teb'Tar was a Dwemer living 1E 699. He should have been a footnote in history no doubt, but one mistake sends him to the future. A place he assumed would be much grander. Now trapped in an era he frankly wants nothing to do with he attempts to grapple with modern Tamriel and perhaps uncover where exactly his kinsmen vanished to. If they vanished at all.

Summary
This is a take on The Elder Scrolls Universe set in the 4th Era.
Skyrim seems to have recovered from the Great War of Tamriel, but The White-Gold Concordat has placed more tension with those of the North of the continent. With the banning of Talos worship, Thalmor agents entering the province, and the deterioration of guilds, it would seem the land of Men has yet to return to its former glory.
Secrets, betrayals, love, family and a hint of time travel: the gods and Daedra will enjoy watching these tales in the eyes of three individuals and those around them.

Summary
Zenotha Aedius couldn't have fathomed what being captured by Imperial forces would lead to. She quickly finds out.
(This is the wackiest of my fics- I didn’t want to use boring, stilted fantasy speak in it so I use colloquialisms and swearing where they wouldn’t normally make sense)

Summary
"I do not enjoy the cavalier and sarcastic manner with which the author frames his study. While there is valuable and intelligent insight into Dunmer beliefs, the author makes impossible claims about his life as almost marginal comments. See below, where he claims to have had tea with the First Era Dunmer ruler, Nerevar..."
Mzunchak responds to Calcelmo's review of his latest work.

Summary
The Forsworn terrorise the Reach, yet Jarl Igmund can only let them run rampant as he sends his armies to fight the Stormcloaks, and The Empire rewards his loyalty and sacrifice by signing an armistice which hands Markarth to the enemy. Over his dead body. He and his court must defy the Empire and stop Ulfric Stormcloak taking the city at all costs, but there are worse enemies in Markarth than Stormcloaks. Can a city known for its filth and corruption stand strong in a world of cruel enemies and worse friends?
A spy, a noblewoman and a silversmith’s wife entangle themselves in intrigue and espionage and uncover secrets that threaten to topple Markarth; Ancient powers below the city are disturbed; A woman risks all to reclaim her home; The court wizard’s nephew, a Thalmor emissary, an Orc smith and her apprentice become unlikely friends in battle and politics; Holy war looms as temples are defiled; In the city of Solitude, murder and plot shake all of Tamriel, but what does that matter when the enemy is already at the gates? And across Skyrim the deposed Jarl of Riften finds herself without family in the cold and heartless city of Windhelm.
War is easy, but how could it not be when peace costs so much more?

What Might Have Been by LadyTanithia for PurritoSupreme
Fandoms: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Elder Scrolls
18 Nov 2022
Tags
Summary
This is an alternate (and greatly abbreviated) story where Miranja marries Talvas – the stupidly happy ending Miranja would have preferred. This story syncs up more with my actual playthrough, in that Miranja joined the Legion and fought in the civil war BEFORE having to do the peace conference and hand over Markarth to the Stormcloaks, so Ondolemar is still alive and well.
