Summary
Of all the times for Athelas to try to sneak across the border from Falkreath into Bruma, he’d had to have the luck to attempt it when Ulfric was in the area. May Xarxes scratch that out, please.

Alinor's First Solo Job by CalicoKitty402, TheFearsomeJabberwock, yelloskello
Fandoms: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
07 Sep 2024
Tags
Summary
The hall before them was long, and towards the end there were a few imperials lingering. Xantos went to charge forward but the whole keep shook, the roof collapsing before them. Alinor had grabbed him by the back of his armor, Ralof getting him around the middle- keeping the dunmer from charging to his doom.
Hadvar sucked in a breath through his teeth. He was reasonably sure the woman on the other end of that collapse was his captain, and that he had been seen in the company of the escaped prisoners... it would be fine, he was sure. He wasn’t- but the thought was comforting. Xantos looked at the collapse, then at the door just to their left. He kicked it open, inspecting the empty room before stepping inside. The door on the far end opened at the same time, imperials coming through.
There was a tense moment of silence as the two groups eye’d each other in the little kitchen- the moment stretching too long. Xantos’ shocked face turned to a smile- the captain who had tried to have him killed frowned. He tilted his head, the smile getting wider. The woman pulled her sword out of its sheath, taking a step forward.
There would be no negotiations.

You're Gonna Go Far, Kid by CalicoKitty402, TheFearsomeJabberwock, yelloskello
Fandom: Elder Scrolls, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
08 Nov 2025
Summary
The great doors of Dragons Reach swung open, pillars lining a massive mead hall with great arching ceilings and balconies above. Once upon a time, in Skyrim’s more peaceful days, it would be host to every Jarl in the province, great moots held to determine the fate of Skyrim’s people.
As it was, the hall was empty save a single older man sitting upon a carved wooden throne and the court wizard in sleep clothes who went to stand behind him. His eyes had drifted closed, his breathing gentle and soft as he leaned hard against his palm. Ireleth took the steps up the dais two at a time, coming over.
“So the dragon has been driven off?” he asked quietly as the guards pulled Xantos up the last flight of stairs. One pattered up further, moving behind the throne while holding Xantos’ sword.
“Killed, my jarl, and I have brought the ones responsible- you’re... you’re not going to like it, my jarl.” Irileth looked over her shoulder to where the collected misfits were standing. "One of the heroes is a companion, the other is a dunmer girl, and a small breton mage-”
“And the last one is Xantos Ashborne.” Balgruuf finished. “How in oblivion did he end up fighting the dragon?”

Summary
All of my Skyrim stories exist in the same continuity, this is that continuity. Every story ideally stands on its own, though most of them were planned far in advance, so who knows really. Some of the early stuff was written as far back as 2012, so the tone/style varies a bit as I, well, get better at this.

Summary
Liliah is a Dark Elf who has no memory of her past or how her body is covered in runed tattoos. A teenager who struggled to survive and made her way into the Thieves' Guild thanks to the kindness of Brynjolf, who isn't known for taking in stray dogs. But there was just something about her. She eventually sets out on her own while she struggles with her inner demons only to find that she will be thrown into an unwanted relationship thanks to the meddling of a Daedric Prince.
While this story has the Companion and Thieves' Guild characters, it does not follow their particular questlines.

Summary
Everyone has heard tell of the Last Dragonborn, but the stories all contradict each other. That seems like a minor point, but some claim the Dragonborn was a Nord woman, member of the Companions. Others still say she was a Bosmer thief that spent her nights leaping from roof to roof in Riften. And proud Dunmer know it to be the Archmage of Winterhold, exilic prince of House Redoran.
The truth was destined to be lost to time. It is your job, Brother Samsa of the Order of the Ancestor-Moth, to recover the truth before it splinters in the hands of foolish moderns, and takes a valuable military alliance with it. The Aldmiri Dominion grow ever nearer, and speed is of the essence...

Almost Too Easy - Cycle I: Life Is Short in Skyrim by KJ_Whatsername
Fandoms: Elder Scrolls, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
25 Dec 2023
Tags
Summary
Fired from her dead-end job, dumped by her cheating ex, and sick of her family’s constant pressure to wed, a modern girl makes a frustrated wish upon the bottom of a bottle. Clavicus Vile grants her wish—to live in a world where finding a husband was easy. After a friendly visit from the bumper of a Class Four semi truck, she wakes up in a rickety wagon headed to a war-torn land, where life is short, and people have a different idea of marriage.
Now stuck in Skyrim with nothing but an Amulet of Mara to her name, she starts off as a nervous wreck with no knowledge of combat, survival, or the meta to give her an edge. With her smart mouth, healing hands, and a rusty iron mace, Laira must learn how to navigate the harsh reality of life in Tamriel, as she struggles to recognize the difference between falling in love with and owing a debt to the man who saved her life.
“We could at least make the most of the days we have together before I go. And I promise my family will take good care of you.”
“Hahaha! Wait, you’re serious?”

Summary
Julia Kynadora Lastblood had only intended to come to Skyrim as a healer and help whoever she could. Instead, she finds herself front and center in the Dragon Crisis and being drawn into the Civil War. Between that and trying to find her place in Skyrim while still managing to do what she came to Skyrim for originally, the internal turmoil she’s been struggling with since her childhood becoming worse shouldn’t be that much of a surprise. Being Dragonborn certainly is though.
