Summary
During Markarth’s Dibellan festival, Ondolemar finds himself an outsider among the Nords’ chaotic revelry. Though he disdains the Empire’s decay, he can’t ignore the spectacle—especially when a dancer catches his eye. Her effortless grace and carefree smile unsettle him, a stark contrast to his rigid control.
But she isn’t just a performer. Beneath the festival’s lights, she’s a thief—one who’s stealing more than just glances. When their eyes meet, Ondolemar senses something dangerous: understanding. In a single moment, his carefully constructed world wavers. And as she disappears into the crowd, he realizes too late—she’s already taken something from him.Or: What would happen if an unstoppable force met an immovable object?

Summary
While a battlemage's journey into Skyrim is twisted after her wrongful arrest and near execution, she finds the land drawing her in. The place she suspects is her homeland is at first unfamiliar; yet, friends, adventure, and love help her find comfort. As she journeys through the province, this love is her shadow, the winds of change stronger than ever. The mysteries claw at her: Does she have any family in Skyrim? Can she truly settle down into a life of studying at the College of Winterhold? Who can be trusted in times of war and betrayal? What does the return of the dragons mean? She cannot find the answers alone, and only certain kinds of friendships can remain just that. With trust in those around her, she's never been more ready to discover the truth about her family and the reason behind her Cyrodiilic upbringing.

Summary
They call me many names.
All of them fit. None of them know me.
Somewhere between the taking and the training, I misplaced my soul. Or perhaps they carved it out, one command at a time.
Now I am the pause before the scream.
The shadow before the end.
The silence that follows.
But silence remembers. And so do I.

Summary
Skyrim is burning. And the one person who could have saved it lit the match.
In the aftermath of a broken Empire and a festering Civil War, whispers of blood and betrayal slither through the shadows. One by one, the pillars of Skyrim’s fragile stability begin to fall. Maven Black-Briar and her corrupt dynasty are brought low. The Companions are hunted nearly to extinction. The Jagged Crown vanishes before it can unite a rebellion.
And as war erupts between Stormcloak and Legion, something far deadlier moves unseen.
Under the cold hand of the Night Mother, the Dark Brotherhood rises once more—not from shadows, but from the throne rooms of Jarl and General alike. Ulfric Stormcloak. General Tullius. First Emissary Elenwen. Jarl Elisif the Fair. One by one, they are removed like pieces from a game played by unseen hands.
In the ruins left behind, the surviving Jarls gather in Dragonsreach to ask the only question that matters: Where is the Dragonborn?
And in the rafters above, she listens.

The Ghost by Shivani Faehilde (shadowmere14)

Summary
Five winters had passed since Alduin, the World-Eater, was cast down in the skies above Sovngarde. Bards still sang of that battle, of the Last Dragonborn who struck the killing blow, but already the tale was slipping into myth. Skyrim had a way of swallowing heroes quickly, burying them beneath new wars, new kings, and fresh blood spilled on old snow.
No one had seen the Dragonborn since.
Some swore she had perished in the fight, her soul carried away with Alduin into the void. Others claimed she had ascended, chosen by Akatosh to walk among the stars. The truth was less grand, though no less haunting. For though the Dragonborn lived, she had vanished into the wilds, leaving only whispers behind.
They called her The Ghost.
Few believed such tales. Fewer dared to seek the truth. Skyrim was a land of superstition, and even its bravest warriors knew when to leave a legend alone.
The Ghost walked alone.
But fate was not finished with her. In Skyrim, destiny was a river that never ceased its flow, no matter how one tried to step aside. The Ghost would cross paths with another lost soul, forever changing both of their destinies. -

Summary
Orphan son of Balmora. Forged by alleys, tempered by Blades.
Nuada returns to Morrowind fluent in two languages—thieves’ chalk and Imperial court-cant—and sets out to do what few dare: climb House Hlaalu by daylight while mapping its shadows by night. Officially, he serves the Empire’s quiet office—the Blades—sent to read the island’s unrest before it ignites. Unofficially, he means to stitch profit to peace: tame guild feuds, turn knives outward, and keep common folk from bleeding for other men’s ambitions.
But Vvardenfell is a ledger written in ash. Ordinators watch from behind gold masks. The Camonna Tong and rival Houses test his conviction. And in his sleep, an older voice whispers of betrayal, masks and mountains that remember.
Nuada’s gift is entry; his fear is becoming a door for others to walk through. As he courts councilors, recruits thieves, and answers the Blades’ orders, he must decide what he’s willing to open—and what he’ll keep locked, even from himself.

A compilation of character arcs, Elder Scrolls history, and divine inheritance.Author note: Feel free to use Revan (my OC) in your own Elder Scrolls fanworks—just ask for permission, give proper credit, and link back to this story so I can read and appreciate your take on him.

Summary
"If I don't come back from where I've gone, just know I've loved you all along."
Rosiah was a Breton raised by a half-mad Master Wizard from House Telvanni. A jack of many trades, master of Conjuration, Destruction, and entertaining the taverns with her lute. She came to Skyrim to study. She did a little more than that.
Bishop was a Nord who acted like he was raised by wolves. A ranger with a chip on his shoulder and a missing wolf to find. His bad attitude and brilliant marksmanship made for a deadly combination.
Together, they find themselves with the responsibility of saving Tamriel.
