Summary
When an uncertain danger faces the College of Winterhold, involving a mysterious blue orb, an apparition who won't tell you anything straight, and a Thalmor ambassador who may as well be a pantomime villain, the distinct lack of an incontestable hero means that everyone is going to have to agree to collaborate for once. There is no Dragonborn to save them, only Mirabelle Ervine, self-appointed leader owing to the relative apathy of pretty much everyone else. But come! you may say: the College of Winterhold is one of the oldest and most respected magical institutions yet standing in Tamriel! Oh! say I: the operative words being 'yet standing'.

Summary
Magical prodigy, Monne Cushte, started out with the humblest of backgrounds - living on a farm in Hammerfell with her parents and her sister.
Her mother had never liked the encouragement from Monne's father to better her magical abilities, but when he's killed by vampires in Morrowind, the abuse gets worse. Even worse so when Monne accidentally burns the farm's crops and changes her life forever.
All she wants is to travel Tamriel like her father before her. She may think she knows much about her own future, but only the gods know what's in store for Monne Cushte.Series

Summary
Helping people is nice and everything, but sometimes you really just join a faction for your own interests. It's a little silly to ask a sword-wielding mercenary to be the Arch-Mage of a College he's rarely present at.

Summary
Yves Montclair thought he had it all: titles, money, incredible talent with magic... Turns out he couldn't add 'loving younger brother' or 'faithful wife' to that list. In a particularly brutal political maneuver, he finds himself delivered to Skyrim's warfront, knowing full well he's not meant to survive, much less return to High Rock to reclaim his birthright. If that wasn't bad enough, the poison he'd been given to subdue him did permanent damage to his magicka. The one-time genius of Shornhelm, master of each school of magic, is left with a single spell and barely enough power to cast it.
It would be so easy to give in to despair, but Yves feels obligated to survive after being rescued at Helgen. Maybe if he can survive the week, he stands a chance of taking back what is his? Please, sweet Julianos, at least let him get his power back!

Summary
“So, you have slain Alduin...Well done. I could have slain him myself, back when I walked the earth, but I chose a different path.” Miraak told you and you held back your urge to roll your eyes at his arrogance.
“Then why didn’t you? I’m not oblivious, I can feel the power you have, the soul of a dovah underneath your skin. You’re powerful, so why?” You asked as he sighed in response as he let go of your face.
“They wanted to use me to deal with Alduin - Hakon and the rest. I chose otherwise. Do you seriously believe that they would let me live if I had done what they wanted? I would become a bigger threat to them than Alduin was.” Miraak explained, you were pretty sure that was his arrogance speaking again, but you could at least understand where he was coming from. He would definitely become a threat in people’s eyes.
“Have you not become dangerous to those around you, Dragonborn?” Miraak asked as you could feel an ever-slight tone of smugness to his words. He wasn’t exactly wrong in that regard.

Summary
The stars are holes in the fabric of Mundus, pinpricks of light where the Magna-Ge fled to Aetherius. Up among them, the many mysteries of Mundus may be solved. In the one star left on terra firma, answers remain to be divined.
Or; what happened before The Black Star quest, and the slow downward spiral of a class of apprentices and their enchanting trainer.

Summary
After receiving a mysterious letter, Aerik and Teldryn set out to find its sender, as well as to uncover the mystery behind its message: Aerik's father, a non-existent figure from his past, is alive and well... and heading for Skyrim.
The more they discover, however, the thicker and more complex the conspiracies grow.
It seems the Thalmor's insidiousness reaches further than simply erasing Talos from the order of the Divines.

Summary
Rather than submitting to the Inquisition when his plan to alter time fails, Gereon Alexius casts a spell to escape with Felix. Fuelled by the unstable Veil and the magister's pained desperation, the spell blows out of proportion and transports the father and son to a completely different realm, which seems to be experiencing quite a Dragon Age of its own.

Ruminations of a Thief and Assassin by FusRohDontMessWithMe

Summary
My flatmate and I decided we would both write Skyrim stories about our current Dragonborn characters and so this is basically the novelization of my Dragonborn's adventures in Skyrim as the unwilling heroine. She finds herself quickly entangled with the Dark Brotherhood and the Thieves Guild much to her initial reluctance, though she eventually finds a deeper connection to her work.
All characters and story belong to Bethesda and everyone who contributed to making the Elder Scrolls games. I own nothing except my Dovahkiin. I hope this is as enjoyable to read as it was for me to write! I'm thinking that Saturdays or Sundays will be the days I post -

Summary
Allanon's been doing his best to take care of well, everything lately. He didn't expect to find a freezing and confused woman wandering around the woods near his camp. Though honestly, maybe he should have with the way his life had become in the past several months. He decides that since he's already trying to prevent a war, stop a dragon up rising and joining just about every organization he'd ever heard of growing up, that he might as well add becoming a protector and mentor of the woman to the list too. Surely it'd be easier than everything else he's been involved with.
·
Val doesn't remember much from before she woke up in the frigid forest. Not where she was, how she got there or why everything seemed foreign, yet vaguely familiar to her at the same time. Everything she's seen since Allanon found her seemed to hold a very distant echo of memory but since that echo held no real substance for her mind to latch onto, she couldn't draw up the actual memories at all. She thought that maybe she could remember the sound of many voices singing but that too, drifted away as quickly as it came to her.
