Summary
Fate is a funny thing.
Really, a prophecy is only a prediction. And yet, despite this, not once in recorded history has one gone unfulfilled.
Until the World-Eater woke, and no Dragonborn rose to stop him. Alduin proceeded to consume the world, as was his birthright. He cared not that it wasn't yet time. To halt the ravage of the Firstborn, Akatosh unwound the very timeline of the world, and from there, it was out of His hands: Time itself would have to make its own course.
Commander Maro could describe himself as a lot of things. An old veteran, death-crossed and world-weary. A failure of an agent who couldn't protect his Emperor. A failure of a father who couldn't protect his son. He certainly wouldn't describe himself as a protagonist or a hero.
When he was ambushed by the Listener of the Dark Brotherhood on the docks of Solitude, he figured that for him, it was finally over. A final tragedy to round out his tragic story.
Time disagreed.
That was how Maro found himself reliving the worst day of his life, unaware that the strands of prophecy and the future of the world itself were now in his inadequate hands.
Fate is a funny thing.

Summary
It didn't matter that she was Coven and he was Town. Hers was a love true enough to transcend any such boundaries in her way. And if their relationship truly was star-crossed, then so be it: the Conjurer would fight the stars themselves to be together with her Jailor.
But, of course, there can be no happy endings, not in this town.

notturno (a melody through nights) by lightofskyfire

Summary
One, a stone-cold killer by night, drawing information from unfortunate prisoners through the cock of a gun, the gleam of a sharpened blade, a deadly ultimatum given through unyielding steel bars. The other, a sharp-eyed ghost in the shadows, who lets no detail escape his notice, picking out roles and identities and feeding targets to the Godfather so they can be eliminated.
Two enemies' lives collide one fateful night. Neither of them could have known the aftermath would change not only themselves, but the entire town.

Summary
Philza: Transatlantic, the Corvarians, all those motherfuckers who couldn’t handle us having a stronghold and good mines, they cut us off from everything in the darkest time of the year. They trapped us in the cold, in eternal night, because they figured if we starved to death, Port-aux-Francais would give them whatever deals they wanted, and they didn’t care who they were fucking killing.
We were peaceful, before the embargo. We just wanted trade deals, we collaborated with anyone who’d help us build our railroads. We never struck the first blow. After the embargo– after that winter– we figured that wasn’t gonna work.
Interviewer: So you adopted some new technologies.
Philza: Yeah, we had innovations in our manufacturing, our greenhouses, our fucking sanitation– but that’s not what you’re talking about, right? Forget the emperor shit. If you’re interviewing me about this, you don’t want to hear about the greenhouses.
You want to hear about the planes.

Summary
Couri’s ears were ringing.
Fein was holding him, hands warm in his hair and on his wings and against his pounding heart, and he was covered in Couri’s blood, splattered across his face and soaking into his jacket and marring the cord of his necklace. He was petting a hand over Couri’s wing, and though it jarred the place he’d been stabbed he barely felt the pain.
“Couri,” Fein said, begged. “Couri, you need to get up.”
Or: In another world, they beat the Watchers. In another world, Couri and Grian goes home free, and all their friends are safe.
This is not that world.
