    Summary

    It goes like this: the world never once chooses Rumi.
    So, she chooses a different world.

    Again and again and again.

    Set after the IDOL awards, the Honmoon decides to give Rumi another shot at a perfect life—no matter how many times it takes to get it right. But as Rumi gets lost within the spinning fractals of realities, her girls (her girls) fight against fate to save her.

    Summary

    Something goes wrong. The crown is split during Narinder's defeat, splitting the power between him and the Lamb.

    Narinder keeps a portion of his godhood, and the Lamb finds that abilities they had access to before are no longer possible: Healing is cut short. Powers are halved. And there is a very real chance of perma-death, as the ability to resurrect is not possible without full power, and the God of Death is not cooperative.
    Afterlife and Purgatory are not options either. Dying means erasure. Gone.

    Lambert knows Narinder grows stronger by the day, crown or not, and yet keeps him spared as they try to figure out how to complete their own goals. Narinder vows vengeance on the lamb for usurping him. After a few unsuccessful murder attempts, he's in for the long haul. It is only a matter of time before the Lamb's guard is down before he can strike, and The One Who Waits is very patient. When a mystic being demands they save the bishops from purgatory, an alliance is in order.

    Except...the lamb's actions and their presence begin to unlock abilities within the God of Death he didn't know he had prior to his imprisonment, among other fickle things, like emotions. The prophecy didn't warn him of that part.

    Summary

    At the height of Dwemer civilization in the closing days of the Merethic Era, a dark priest calling himself Konahrik has delivered a marvel of science to the city of Blackreach--a living dragon.

    My take on a question that's bothered me ever since I first played Skyrim: how did Vulthuryol get into Blackreach anyway?
