Summary
“May the gods grant you strength,” says Emperor Uriel Septim VII, nothing but relief on his face, and lets the mace crush his head.
-
Sorona Vausier is a young Breton battlemage of the Imperial Legion, imprisoned under false charges. When Emperor Uriel Septim bids her to seek out his bastard son Martin, for the salvation of all Tamriel, she has no idea just how much that act will change her life. But the threads of Fate have bound her life to the last Septim heir, and loyalty unto death is an oath she swears easily....if only it was her life the gods bid her sacrifice.

Summary
“You will be safe, I trust?” He speaks gently as is his wont, but as he locks his gaze to hers, there is something else lingering in the concern. If he were not the emperor-to-be and she were not his servant, she might lean in, press her forehead to his, and trail her fingertips across his cheek.
But he is the heir, and she is bound to safeguard him.
So she merely taps her knee against his.
~*~
Or
The Hero of Kvatch never much believed in destiny. Not until a forgotten objective throws itself, or rather--himself, right into her path.
It turns out she would move mountains for him. She would kill for him. She would go into the mouth of Oblivion. Over and over and over again. All so that she might save him.
Her Martin.
In the end, well... you know how the tragedy goes.

Summary
The Blood Rite has passed. Briallyn is dead. It's quiet, too quiet for Azriel, whose increasing loneliness is compounded by the fact that it seems his family is moving on with their lives without him. He had no mate, and Rhys had made it abundantly clear that Elain was off the table. No one wanted him. How long would it be before his brothers no longer needed him at all?
Eris really needed to kill his father and yet no matter what he had told the illustrious Night Court, he had no plan for it. Killing a high lord was extremely difficult, after all. But his current situation was untenable, especially as Beron started looking beyond the bounds of his own court. How many more lies could Eris balance before his life came crashing down around him?
This starts immediately after ACOSF and ignores anything from CC3.
