The Story of a Nightingale by Elsie2023

Summary
This is not a novel.
It is a prayer in the skin of a tale.
A lullaby sung in a voice not quite human.
A song whispered by a lost little girl
to the shadow velvet who called her daughter.
It is a secret left on the doorstep of night.
It is a psalm for the forsaken.
Read it only if you dare
Sometimes it is a whispered curse in silk and sorrow
Erratically, even a dusty grimoire.
Read it slowly. Or not at all.
It wasn't set down in writing for the impatient. -

Summary
Marisa Valerno had two problems. First, she did not like being in the military. The second one was that her mouth operated faster than her brains – much to her detriment.

Dragonborn Begins: The Ballad of Bjorn the Swordsmith by Henryspencer89

Summary
Set before Skyrim, this story follows Bjorn, a young Dragonborn born in Skyrim but raised in Hammerfell. His parents, fugitives from the Thalmor, built a new life in exile, shaping Bjorn’s childhood with survival, blacksmithing, and culture. But peace is fleeting. This is an unofficial prequel to Skyrim, featuring my own original characters.
What begins as a coming-of-age story soon grows darker, exploring vengeance, battling inner darkness, the blurred lines between good and evil, and moving on from past trauma.
Bjorn is my canon Dragonborn, handling the main quest, Dawnguard, Dragonborn, the Companions, and the Civil War. I’ve always used different characters for different questlines, as it makes more sense than one character doing everything. It also features Cordelia, my character for the College of Winterhold questline, and Hela, my Dark Brotherhood character. Sadly, Ervador, my male wood elf for the Thieves Guild, didn’t make it in—maybe in a sequel. Amirah might be my TES VI MC depending on when it takes place.
Content Warning: This story contains dark themes related to trauma and violence and may be triggering for some readers. Please be advised before reading. -

Summary
For the Aldmeri Dominion, there is no greater blight in their collective eye than the races of Men. From the White-Gold Concordat to the purging of Imperial influence from the heartland of Cyrodiil, they have stopped at nothing to undo all that has occurred since rule of Tiber Septim.
But another Nord has been granted the title of Ysmir Stormcrown by the Greybeards. This Dragonborn, this...Dovahkiin, as the dragons cry out in praise, single-handedly ended the Civil War on the side of the Empire. He has slain Alduin, halting the Kalpic Cycle. Purged the greatest vampiric threat Tamriel had ever seen. Thwarted several Daedric Princes, and has supposedly even escaped the icy clutches of Molag Bal by breaking out of Coldharbour.
And now, he sets his sight on the Aldmeri Dominion.
The Wheel continues to turn, and the Dovahkiin's story is far from over.

Summary
The Aldmeri Dominion occupies Skingrad even as their armies sack the Imperial City, but not everyone in the Dominion is a soldier or officer. Calvare is little more than a servant, always cleaning, always working, but he sees, and his twisted mind turns even the best things to darkness

Summary
A missing chapter from Aristeia, but stands alone just fine. I just had so much fun writing Gat and Pavo as an established couple that I couldn't resist giving them a bit of romance and sex. It turned into an exploration of coping with the hidden scars of a war that ended decades ago.

Summary
“Did you miss me?”
“Bishop,” she whispered as a storm of turmoil thundered through her veins.
He smirked at her.
She felt her brain grind to a halt. As the ranger enfolded a statuesque Leara in his arms, she felt unattached from her body. She couldn’t feel her hands or her feet. If Bishop hadn’t been holding her, Leara knew she would’ve crumpled like paper.
And when, the next moment, Bishop kissed her, one arm locked around her waist and the other hand tangled in her matted red hair, Leara didn’t fight him.
No, she kissed him back.Leara Ormand, the Last Dragonborn, is trying to fulfill her destiny and stop Alduin while battling with her own feelings of self-doubt and anxiety. In walks Bishop, the ranger from the Skyrim Romance Mod, whose
obsessioninfatuation only serves to make Leara worse. Along the way, she reencounters Ulfric Stormcloak, who she knew during the Great War — she prays he doesn’t remember her. Add in the Thalmor hunting her and Leara’s got a full plate. Naturally, there’s always a way to make it worse! -
