Song of the Dragonborn by Psilocybinlemon

Summary
Lucy, the only child of a Nord merchant family, has always wanted to be a mage. If she could, she'd quit the merchant's life, leave her damned hometown and join the College of Winterhold, but her steadfast parents have made it near impossible. Feeling like a caged bird, she escapes in stories and legends of magic until the most unexpected event plunges everything into chaos.
One autumn day, the Imperial Legion brings in another cart of death-sentenced prisoners to be executed. Among them sits a young, pink-haired man with the College's symbol embroidered into his robes. He casts Lucy a quick glance before they drag him to the block. When he lays his head down, a dragon appears from a cloudless sky, suddenly and without a warning. Almost as if fate brought it here this day after centuries of endless slumber.
In the blink of an eye, the lively town is turned into a smoldering ruin - and Lucy's life into ashes at the same. A mage, the one Lucy saw among the prisoners, saves her from the dragon's flames, and so begins an adventure which changes her life once and for all.
// High Fantasy AU, based in the world of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Summary
Force. Push. Unrelenting.
FUS.
'The word from that tomb!', Gaius realised.
“FUS”
He spoke the word aloud, and watched as the resulting wave of power launched even the great wyrm skeleton away, scattering dust and rubble, and shaking the ruined tower to its very foundations.
This caught the attention of the survivors making their way to him, their eyes falling on him in slight fear, awe, and what looked suspiciously like hope, as they reverently uttered a single word.
A word that would shake the land of Skryrim and all of Tamriel to its core.
"Dovahkiin"

Oathbound Saga: Voice of Destiny (Book 1) by Teecup92
Fandoms: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Elder Scrolls
24 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
James swore an oath of vengeance, but the Voice bound him to a destiny far larger than revenge. At his side, Lydia must decide if love can survive the weight of prophecy. A Skyrim reimagining of chains chosen, chains broken, and the oaths that define us.
Like many of us, I’ve played Skyrim so many times (and with so many mods) that I’ve almost forgotten what vanilla feels like. This series is my headcanon for my favorite Dragonborn. A reimagined AU that follows the main quest, but never quite the way the game tells it. At its heart, it’s the story of a boy who swears vengeance… and the girl who saves him from himself.

Summary
Skyrim is burning. And the one person who could have saved it lit the match.
In the aftermath of a broken Empire and a festering Civil War, whispers of blood and betrayal slither through the shadows. One by one, the pillars of Skyrim’s fragile stability begin to fall. Maven Black-Briar and her corrupt dynasty are brought low. The Companions are hunted nearly to extinction. The Jagged Crown vanishes before it can unite a rebellion.
And as war erupts between Stormcloak and Legion, something far deadlier moves unseen.
Under the cold hand of the Night Mother, the Dark Brotherhood rises once more—not from shadows, but from the throne rooms of Jarl and General alike. Ulfric Stormcloak. General Tullius. First Emissary Elenwen. Jarl Elisif the Fair. One by one, they are removed like pieces from a game played by unseen hands.
In the ruins left behind, the surviving Jarls gather in Dragonsreach to ask the only question that matters: Where is the Dragonborn?
And in the rafters above, she listens.

Summary
Exiled and ‘orphaned’, Sabine has learned that surviving means remaining unnoticed. Unfortunately, she is forced out into the open after she helps kill a dragon and is thrust into the role of Dragonborn… and into the center of a bloody Civil War.
Not 100% lore-friendly or canon-following. Built around the plot of the game + Kaidan EE/IF, but leans heavily into technology, magic, and storylines that are not canon-adherent.
There were screams of terror. I heard them. Begging for help, for a way out. Clawing, banging, bashing at the doors and the shutters. I sat alone. A tiny figure silhouetted against the raging blaze. The village awoke to the sound of crackling flames and groaning wood as the structure gave way. Then deafening silence.

Summary
“What do you think will burn better? Another ballad of Mikael’s about Whiterun’s ‘assets’, or yet another letter from Ulfric Stormcloak asking for me to join him?"
When the Dragonborn is facing pressure to choose a side in the brewing war, she sticks with the side which holds a special place in her heart.
She picks Whiterun.

Summary
The history of Tamriel is a story of what has been lost to the ages. Gods, wars, betrayals and Empires have risen from the depths of time only to fall from their great heights in the never ending cycle of the Kalpa. This chronicle traces Tamriel's history from the forging of Mundus from the chaos of Aetherius, through almost seven thousand years of mortal ambition and divine will. Within these chapters lies forgotten wars of Men and Mer, bargains struck both in shadow and with shadowed powers, and moments where fate itself rested upon the edge of a sword.
(This is a collection of my world building put into semi-narrative format and collated for anyone who might be remotely interested in my world-building, otherwise feel free to check out the rest of my 1 million+ word Elder Scrolls stories; Bloodtide Rising, Sos do Dov/Blood of Dragons, and The Dragonblood King)

Summary
Skyrim was never the plan; now, it's the only way forward.
Separated from her twin, Brighid thought standing on her own would be easier than this, but the world is not a kind place and the forests of Falkreath aren't going to wait for her to catch up. The line between courage and recklessness grows thinner every day, and as Brighid flirts with danger, a shadow that has long been dormant is beginning to stir within her. As she forges a new sense of self in a world that demands survival, Killian wrestles with his own sense of duty and a promise he's not sure he can keep.
There's no way back and everything still ahead, but when Aedra and Daedra alike begin to take notice of them, will Brighid and Killian each measure up on their own, or be found wanting?

Summary
This journal follows the journey of a woman destined to become the Dragonborn of legend.
Told in her own words, it chronicles Luna—a fiercely independent Nord and outsider—as she arrives in Skyrim amidst the fires of civil war. Navigating a fractured land, she aligns herself with powerful factions and makes choices that shape the future of entire provinces.
But as Luna unearths the deep-rooted unrest of Skyrim, she also begins to uncover the buried truths within herself. With every battle, alliance, and revelation, the pull of her blood grows stronger—transforming her into something more than mortal, and not always for the better.
