Summary
In the years before the Oblivion Crisis, the Dark Brotherhood has been sitting upon its laurels at the highest of heights, and its current Valus Claw sees no reason to behave any differently. There, having worked for years to attain such unholy prestige, Speaker Lucien Lachance and his Silencer enjoy the benefits of power within the cult’s uppermost echelons. That is, for a time. For although a period without change may be of reassurance to mortals, that which chafes the black scales of Sithis most is stagnation. Silencer Zathiril av Mor’iargalthil will not be the first nor the last to discover that, and for once in his life, he will have to rely on others if he is to survive.
This story follows the Silencer who precedes the player character in TESIV: Oblivion. It will include events of the canon Dark Brotherhood questline and expand upon the cult’s lore. Although Lucien is one of the main characters, the story is told through the voice of that Silencer.

Summary
Lucien’s not sure if he loves Nimileth. Then again he’s not sure he's loved anyone before her, and maybe everyone feels like they’re dying inside when they think of something they can’t live without. What is it anyway— love— but a poison that corrodes from the inside out? Like arsenic, silent as it eats you, silent as it devours until you’re nothing more than the shell of whatever it was you were before the love destroyed you.
Ever since his rise to Listener, Lucien has struggled to keep Nimileth satisfied.

Summary
Because at nine you saw his sickness in the flesh, an evil so mindless, so monstrous that your little voice couldn’t yet find the words to name it anything but death. Because death’s fist clenches much further than its arm can reach, and only in her absence did you learn her passing had killed the both of you, that beyond the artifice, beneath the skin, it was all blood and bone and borrowed time.
A collection of microfics and journal entries documenting Mathieu Bellamont's ascension through the ranks of the Dark Brotherhood.
