Summary
I downloaded a mod (Teldryn Serious by Undriel) once and got inspired. Now we have a fic and 500-headcanons that tie into it.
A fic surrounding the pitfalls of having the proverbial weight of the world thrust upon you when you'd rather be doing anything but. Or, two legendary heroes who should never have been given that responsibility in the first place eventually find solace in one another's plight. I plan on tackling The Teldryn Serious mod as a starting point before tackling the Main Quest and Dragonborn. Ghosts of the Tribunal will also play a part as well.
Point of view changes between Sydari and Teldryn as they are both main characters here.
Updating at my leisure. Art may be added if I draw things that are related.
(Chapters 1 and 2 are due for rewrites due to characterisation changes)
Prequal work that follows Teldryn Sero (Ensirhaddon) journey as the Nerevarine -Sleepers Awake

Summary
Teldryn Sero finds himself on a ship bound for Morrowind after thirty-six years of being passed around Cyrodiil's prisons and labour camps. He assumes that he will be spending the rest of his considerable sentence doing forced labour in the mines and plantations of his homeland. It seems, however, that fate has something else planned.
Prequel to Serious Mistakes. Follows the Incarnate (Teldryn Sero) as he takes on the mantle of Nerevarine and Hortator and struggles with the reality of what that means. (We will be using Great Khan as a term as well, but it's essentially the same thing).
This work is purely from the Nerevarine's perspective and includes supplementary documents (Diary Entries, Letters etc.) before each new chapter. Something I thought SaltyMapleSyrup did very effectively in Aad Semblio Impera
This is what it says on the tin, and leans heavily into the horror aspects of Morrowind.

Summary
An outline on the burial practices of the Unified Ashlander Tribes and their predecessors the Urshilaku Tribe written by their Ashkhan, the Nerevarine circa 4E 211. Intended to be read as a first draft of a tome on Ashlander Culture that requires references to other chapters the Ashkhan has yet to write.

Summary
Teldryn Sero finds himself wandering the wastes of Western Skyrim after the Last Dragonborn breaks things off with him for what he believes is the final time. He finds himself wallowing in his cups at a small inn on the Whiterun Plains when he is approached by a pretty Redoran mercenary whom he has suspicions of.
He decides to play along, at worst he has to fell an assassin, at best he gets to forget his misery for the night. Either way, he stands to have some fun. He just hopes he can keep it together.

Summary
Started as a question on Tumblr...ended in a series of first person povs. The first being Jiub on the Nerevarine (Teldryn Sero here).
Each chapter is its own self contained "short" and will be added as I finish :)
All POVs related to both my main line fics, Sleepers Awake (Morrowind, to be posted by there's some outside content up here) and Serious Mistakes (Skyrim fic).

Summary
Started as a prompt for Bingo - Ruins
Ended in five chapters of Teldryn Sero going through an Urshilaku Harrowing before he is permitted to start completing the Nerevarine Trials.
This piece joins together with a second POV piece (Arkanis: Erra) Which I'm still working through and will be linked here on completion.
Should be read after Adherence (which explains some of the corprus weird)
Enjoy!

Summary
July's prompt challenge, the prompt being "The sound of a blade being sharpened." So thanks for that one Thanatopsiturvy, this thing happened.
I've been playing around with the concept of "how exactly did the Nerevarine's corprus get cured" for a while now (I do not buy that simple potion shite) and used this as an opportunity to explore how that might work. Oh, I also spawned a multi-chapter Morrowind fic from this. Whoops.
Turned into a lot of Morrowind-style dreams. Fair warning, this is strongly on the horror side.

Summary
A one-shot done as a part of a prompt challenge. The prompt being "alchemy". Thank you for the fun prompt elfinisms
So I turned it into an excuse to try a "Hurt/Comfort" fic. We have pub fights, sad birds and eventual kisses. Sydari knows nothing about alchemy and her friend seems to have burnt bridges with the local healer. Set in the two-year time period between Serious Mistakes Part 1 and Part 2 (So the main quest is not even in the periphery yet.)
Thanks to MareenaVee for beta reading and editing!

Summary
Something from an ask meme on tumblr, I liked it enough to add it here. It's meant to be Sydari's strongest early memory, there's a nice anonymous mercenary. She also has a very shitty dad so if that or light mentions of neglect or abuse aren't your thing, give this one a skip.
She's about 6 here.

Summary
I initially wanted to write a short about my Dunmer's first time waking up in Apocrypha... I was in a bit of an Eldrich mood I guess. It turned into what is essentially going to be part two of the unpublished fic "Serious Mistakes" (which has to be rewritten because my computer ate it). Oh and the fic subscribes to the Teldryn Sero is the Nerevarine fanon, I like it, it's fun.
First time actually putting up any writing, be nice.
