What if this Storm Ends? by avoidance_is_key

Summary
"You are not Skeksis." skekSo's words fall upon him, hammering against his chest like physical blows.
With judgement cast and the hammer of exile fallen upon his neck, skekMal tosses his head and lashes his tail. No, he thinks, he has become cruel thoughts trapped beneath crueler flesh, with no chance of escape.
If this is what it means to be skeksis he wants no part of it.
___________________
A "what-if" fic where skekMal is exiled immediately after the Great Division, and without the corruption of the Dark Crystal or his fellow skeksis he ends up on a very different path.-

Summary
Helen went from being next to the river at her family’s cabin to a situation that seemed like it was right out of a fantasy novel. Her studies had been going well, yet she couldn't help but yearn for something more as she got lost in the pages. Now she’s stranded in a strange world, with even stranger little people.
Dragged in to cure a poisoned Thra, visions begin bombarding her mind: corrosive violet bursting up through bloodied ground and pale, wild eyes. After her touch heals an injured sifan, Helen’s rescuers bring her to the Mainland to seek the wisdom of the creatures they call ‘skeksis’.
The road home feels even more impossible as she catches the attention of the Lords of the Crystal and their ailing Emperor. Centuries of dark secrets fester in the Castle’s walls, and the course of love will be far from smooth. Change is coming, but at what cost? -

Summary
How did skekGra receive his vision of unity? What were the vile and cruel deeds for which he was framed? How much damage could one human person possibly do on Thra?
Edin may have been an intrepid explorer and cave diver, but after discovering a glowing crystal that transported her to an alien world embroiled in its own brutal political dramas, she quickly learned that she was no diplomat. Whether it meant allying herself with a monstrous skeksis that called itself the Conqueror or deceiving the gentle if naive gelfling people, she would do whatever was necessary to escape the madness that was Thra.

Summary
Just a little story about skeksis idle time!
I´m one of those rare people who thinks it´s actually very fun to get an insight of those moments where "monsters" are "just people" and get to peek at what ever said "monsters" do when they have a bit of free time.
Do they just talk? walk? Indulge into what activities? Would "monsters" be literally evil and schemy all the time, or are they, deep down, just persons with their own thoughts and emotions?
That kind of idea was what spawned this small tale: It´s been written rather long ago, I just had never given a thought to post it before (it had also been originally written in Spanish, so I had to translate it in order to upload it here where most of the community wouldn´t be able to read it otherwise ^^So...here you go! a small snippet featuring my ideas about what idle time might sometimes look like for the skeksis (this obviously takes place at my AU, if anything sounds inconsistent to canon you know why that is ^^ )

Summary
A Skeksis round the hallway corner but it wasn't the one you were expecting. No, it's SkekGra The Conqueror. He's definitely one of the few you really wanted to avoid. The Skeksis himself looked surprised to see you as well, his eyes would narrow in annoyance. Peering down at you through his spiked helmet- It created frightening shadows. Shrinking in on yourself, you tried to look small as much as possible- Even keeping your gaze to the polished floor.
"Pardon me." You spoke with a meek voice, the Skeksis in hulking armor watched intently with violent eyes as you carefully side step around.
What you didn't know that there is a far more frightening Skeksis then he.

Summary
Brea expected her first Seven Clans Summit would be nothing more than a wonderful chance to expand her knowledge. She never imagined it could bring so much romantic drama with it. After chance encounter before the Welcome Ball, Deet, Brea's very close friend, falls quickly and deeply in love with the Stonewood warrior, Rian.
Though they seem the perfect match, it does come with some drawbacks, such as Seledon constantly meddling in the name of improved inter-clan relations, or Brea needing to entertain Rian's insufferable friend, Rek'yr, so the couple can spend time alone. Brea feels it is worth it to see her friend so happy, even if Rek'yr won't stop looking at her so strangely.
However, things may not be going as well as they appear. Emotions swell, hearts threaten to break, and poor first impressions leave their mark. But, if pride can be set aside and prejudices overcome, perhaps this tangled mess can lead to a happy ending after all.
(Look, it's gelfling Pride & Prejudice, alright? You know what you're getting into.)
