Summary
The Minor House of Nerussa demands recognition and respect; their diplomatic ties and unlimited coffers are certain to give them the status of Great House in Morrowind, provided they do one more thing... marry its only heiress, Gwynileth Nerussa, to a member of another Great House. And her parents have chosen the one who abused her.
Frightened and despairing, Gwynileth flees from Morrowind to Skyrim, chasing ideals of happiness and simplicity. What she finds is more than expected: and they came in the forms of a man with unknown origins and amber eyes, an Imperial intent on discovering secrets of the Dwemer, and a Khajiit who wants nothing more than to be a friend and a hero.
~~~~~
This is a story of trauma, healing, adventure, friendship, and love. Please mind the tags; there are mentions of rape and abuse in this story, as well as canon-typical violence. It is likely the darkest story I've yet written (not dead dove, though), so please be mindful of this! The rating is liable to change from Mature to Explicit, depending on if I ever get the courage to take that leap.

Summary
To bear the voice of the Dragonborn is to carry the weight of Skyrim’s fate. But destiny is never freely given—it demands payment in loyalty, in blood, in the bonds one dares to keep.
As war deepens and dragons return, the path winds ever tighter around those who walk it: a soldier bound by scars, a scholar seeking truth, a Khajiit whose laughter hides old silence. In the spaces between battles, trust is forged, fragile and fierce, and love begins to kindle where least expected.
Together they tread the long road between survival and ruin, where every choice leaves a mark and every oath carries a cost. The closer they draw to the fire of prophecy, the higher the price the path will claim.

Skyrim The Companions - The Love of a Wolf by Stormkind

Summary
Vilkas had more than proven himself as an honour-bound Companion, standing alongside his twin, Farkas, through countless trials. The day arrived when both were offered a place among the legendary Circle, a mark of ultimate trust and responsibility within the Companions. Embracing this honour, Vilkas and Farkas chose to accept the gift of Hircine. Together, they underwent the sacred ritual, drinking the beast’s blood offered by Aela, thus binding themselves to the ancient legacy of the werewolves.
For two years following the ritual, Vilkas and the beast within him coexisted in a state of harmony. He learned to balance his human mind with the primal instincts of the wolf, maintaining discipline and control. However, this equilibrium was unexpectedly disrupted the day his beast caught the scent of cinnamon, a moment that would signify a profound change in his existence.Series

Summary
Elara survives what should have broken her. Kaidan carries ghosts he never learned how to bury.
Bound by violence, magic, and a road that refuses to let them rest, they travel forward — through dragons, old wounds, and choices that hurt just as much as staying still.
This is a story about trauma that echoes, love that falters, and the long, painful work of choosing each other anyway.

In The Ever-Present Shadow Of Death by SparksOfInspiration
Fandoms: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
06 Jan 2026
Tags
Summary
Read the tags. Relationship with Lucien doesn't start until dragonborn is an adult.
Early chapters give insight into the dragonborn's life prior to Skyrim. Featuring Oblivion characters making supporting cameos to make sure the kid of their dear dead friends survives to adulthood and makes some friends of her own. Starts with a veneer of wholesomeness, but life steadily spirals out of control as a Great War, divine maneuverings, and a bloodthirsty ghost who is overcompensating for past failures to protect "Family", systematically upend her life. Life in Tamriel is hardly peaceful, but it can be fun if you're a bit cracked in the head and willing to make your own entertainment... And willing to plot against a pair of edgy bitches with far too much mystique propping them up as they vie for control of a certain sanguine organization. Only for a massive scaley prick to come crashing the party- wrecking cities, rezzing his dead lizard brothers, and trying to end all their fun for good.
What's that Inigo? Dragon pie? We really must try? Well, our ovens are indeed empty, so that dragon must die.
Consider this your fair warning about the violent and irreverent nature of the literary ride you're hopping on for.

Summary
Nowadays, hope is hard to find in Tamriel. The Dragonborn has saved the world and almost singlehandedly orchestrated The Dominion's downfall, but she's disappeared with her husband, Kaidan, and the politics have yet to settle themselves.
Her adoptive brother, Inigo, hopes that by telling their story, the world might learn what really happened, and just how fiercely he stood beside her, as her lover and Dragonguard.Exclusively a Kaidan slow burn, no extra lore, because I'm obsessed with him.

Summary
"Bright, yet dark muted colours filled his eyes. Sketch lines barged passed him, hoping to be spared from the figure he saw before him. A sky washed in muddied orange, a horned silhouette; the sun had all but gone, made way for those sinful curled teeth and that damned red eye!"
After three years of adventuring, the Dragonborn has finally agreed to travel with Lucien to Dumzbthar. Whether Lucien is ready for what is waiting for them is another question though.
First ever fanfic, fingers and toes crossed, it's good! Lucien deserves more stories with him in it!

A Flightless Dragon & A Never-King by GreyWyvern
Fandoms: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Elder Scrolls
24 Dec 2025

Summary
"Don’t you think it's gone on long enough, now?"
"Hm? What has, my friend?"
"Me being the ultimate savior of the world, that is. I am no longer needed, Inigo."Karkvar is the perfect Dragonborn by pretty much everyone’s standards. He won against Alduin the World-Eater, ended the civil war, managed to uphold four organizations at the same time and never once denied helping those in need, even if they sometimes did backstab him in the process. When all is said and done, Karkvar can only wish he had a chance to obtain something else, but as someone wise would say – conquering another's heart is a different matter entirely. He's never been the sharpest tool in the shed and now – he lacked the will to even try.
Of course his friends couldn’t just stand by and watch him fall into the depths of despair. If there ever was someone worthy of love, it would certainly be the legendary Dragonborn. The only question that stands: is there anyone worthy of him? Or maybe, just maybe, there is someone fated to our shouter extraordinaire?

Summary
He tells her he loves her drunk, the first time. Slurring in the Ragged Flagon with blood still under his nails: I'm in this up to me fuckin' neck for you, do you not see that?
She's furious. Not because he said it—but because he only said it drunk. The second time, he's sober. Looking at her like she hung the moons. She still can't say it back. Neris has survived Helgen, the Thalmor, and the voice of a god who claims her as his last-born child. She's eaten dragon souls and walked into Sovngarde. But three words in Common still terrify her more than Alduin ever could.
A 400k slow-burn following the Dragonborn and her sworn shield through the main quest, the Thieves Guild, and beyond. (If you want to skip the exposition, Kaidan appears at Chapter 12)

Summary
The morning after their first night together, Neris makes the mistake of calling it "nice." Kaidan takes this as a personal challenge:
"It was…" Her mind supplied a dozen words at once: dangerous, consuming, too much, perfect. Terrifying, because she'd let go and the world had not ended. "Nice." The word was barely out before she wanted to bite it back. Too late.
Kaidan stopped dead in the road. "It was fucking what?"

Summary
His palms were warm against her bare forearms. She'd rolled her sleeves up earlier, when the exertion had started to build heat, and now his skin was against hers and she was finding it very hard to focus on elbows.
What begins as a lesson in two-handed weapons ends with Neris pinned against a tree. She wanted to learn how to fight with a greatsword. She got more than she bargained for.

Summary
The problem with accidental marriage is that you still have to live with the person afterward. Especially when the Temple of Mara won't let you out of it (drunk vows are still vows).
A "woke up married" AU where the marriage is legal, emotionally complicated, and neither of them knows how to talk about it. Features one very jealous husband, one very confused wife, and Brynjolf making everything worse just by existing.

Nordic Warming Tonic (Side Effects May Vary) by sylkiee
Fandoms: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
10 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
Brelyna’s “stamina tonic” turns out to be a restricted-stack aphrodisiac, and Neris is the one who takes it full in the face. She makes it as far as their room before every seam on her clothes is agony and every word out of Kaidan’s mouth is worse—especially when he murmurs, “Breathe for me. In. Out. That’s it. Good girl.”
He swears there won’t be a single thing between them she could blame on a bad brew… but when the potion finally lets go, what’s left is want that’s entirely her own.
