    Summary

    “Ask your question, Daenerys,” Stannis said.

    Daenerys took a breath, and asked the question that had plagued her ever since leaving King’s Landing. “Your brother, the king, only lost his betrothed, and he hates me. Eddard Stark lost over half his family because of mine, and yet he will welcome me as his kin?” Her voice rose at the last, as she was no longer able to hide her disbelief, her fear.

    “Ned Stark is a man of honor,” Stannis said. “He has no interest in avenging his family by tormenting you.” Unlike the king, neither of them said aloud.

    (In a world where Viserys Targaryen escaped Westeros without his mother or sister, Daenerys Targaryen grows up as the ward of Stannis Baratheon, living at the mercy of the Great Houses that brought about the downfall of her family.)

    Summary

    New work that has been playing in my mind. This is a huge deviation from my normal character creation when I play Skyrim. I never support the Imperials and I usually don't play an elf, but Cylfin has been hammering away in my head. This work may come in fits and bursts cause I am focus on Dragonborn's Journey, but this little Bosmer wont shut up.

    Deviates a bit from cannon. She's not exactly evil, but she certainly isn't going to be nice either. It's hard to be attracted to something you despise. Follows the Thieves Guild quest lines and may dabble in the main quest and Dark Brotherhood quests, I haven't gotten that far in yet, but I feel like I may make another connection

    Summary

    Kaiya, Skyrim's hot mess of a Dragonborn with a tortured past and a drinking problem, finds herself lost and in need of purpose after handling the Alduin threat. After some well-timed and clever pleas from Brynjolf, she decides to come out of her debauchery filled retirement and join the Thieves Guild. When she meets the dark and brooding Guildmaster, her purpose becomes clear: make that sexy SOB fall in love with her. Little does she know, she's joining the guild and tempting the Guildmaster at the worst possible time...

    This story is my attempt to answer the challenge of "is it possible to write Mercer Frey into a Byronic hero?" I don't claim ownership of any of the characters in this story except Kaiya, and I tried to stick to canon as much as possible throughout. As I wrote this story, I imagined that anyone reading it would have a basic knowledge of the game and specifically the Thieves Guild questline, so that I could just write in the gray areas and not retell the story everyone already knows. My heroes are flawed and tragic, and are by no means healthy, but I hope you come to love them as much as I do.

    Summary

    He doesn't remember what happened to him or how he ended up in this place. But one thing he knows for sure - he needs to be careful not to reveal himself.
    All he needs to do is bide his time until he's recovered enough to escape this place - before anyone finds out who he really is.

    If only his memories were clearer. If only something wasn't buzzing in the back of his mind, always remaining out of reach.

    And what are these strange dreams he's having almost every night...?

     

    Post-canon, memory loss, parallels to Mort/Martle story. But with (eventual) happy ending ;)
