The Questline Unwritten by Monstertaki
Fandoms: Elder Scrolls, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
07 Oct 2025

Summary
She’s played Oblivion a hundred times. She knows every line, every twist, every quest. It’s one of her favorite games, but it denies her what she craves most: choices. Every path ends the same, no matter how fiercely she wishes for another outcome. Until the night she wakes up in the Imperial Prison, and the game reacts differently. Chafing clothes, clumsy hands, and uncanny breaks from the vanilla script make one thing clear:
This is Tamriel, and her story isn’t in the code.

The Awkwardly Inelegant Misadventures of Amaya Kedves by MehrunesDagonbro

Summary
When Emperors start having weird dreams about you being the Hero destined to “close shut the jaws of Oblivion”—whatever that means—and finding his long-lost bastard son, you know things are going downhill fast. Especially when you've been thrown into a world where literal gates of Hell start opening up.
Between fighting evil cultists and demon lords, running errands for peasants, dodging the law like it’s Les Misérables, and relying on help from a cast of questionable lunatics—including an inconveniently handsome Nerevarine, the old Eternal Champion (fueled by revenge and sweetrolls), a tax-evading horse, and the only Bosmer in Tamriel who can’t shoot—Amaya is barely keeping up with her quest, let alone her sanity.
All Amaya wants is to survive the next week without being disemboweled, dismembered, or getting stabbed in weird locations. Preferably in that order.
Join our deeply inelegant protagonist on an awkward adventure as she tries to stay alive long enough to save the last heir to the Septim throne. Or at least kiss him. Eventually.
And to think, all of this started because Sheogorath got bored.
Updates every other Sunday!

Summary
"Do you see me in him, I wonder?"
He meant the engraving of Tiber Septim, Eldaril realized. The truth is, during these past two days he started to see Martin everywhere, almost to the point of hallucinating. How often did his heart drop seeing strangers' bodies in priestly robes in Kvatch! How much did the fluttering in his chest grow when he saw people with the faintly reminiscent shoulder-length brown hair! Gods, he could not even look at the sky without wondering what Martin would say about clouds' shape!
"No," Eldaril answered, "you must've taken after your mother."
***
Eldaril Camoran had a comfortable life in Gaiar Alata with his wife, never doubting his place and destiny. How long will his marriage last after meeting Martin Septim?

"Am I all right?" Rory wants to say. "I am being eaten, Martin. Consumed piece by piece and fed to the Mad God that is myself. I can no longer tell where I end and Sheogorath begins. And, worst of all, the majority of the time I don't mind." But instead she only says, "I'm fine."
An exploration of what would happen if a character ends up trying to end the Oblivion Crisis while already being halfway to mantling Sheogorath.

Summary
Tanvyr Vandlen—as known to the Imperial City’s illegal fighting pits—is a hedge wizard, a brawler, and if you ask them, a s’wit who doesn’t know how to shut their mouth unless someone shuts it for them. But only Arena-sanctioned fights are supposed to end in death. An accident with a dubious spell later, they find themself unlucky enough to see that enforced. They’re slated for execution as a murderer—until the Emperor walks into their cell instead.
To their guilty conscience, having the Amulet of Kings shoved into their hands is an opportunity to make something of their life. To their adrenaline-seeking impulses, it’s a thrill to throw themself into an Oblivion Gate. But for all Tanvyr is trying to be the hero the situation deserves, the priest they were sent to save sees through their fronts.
Martin terrifies them, most of all for his insistence on seeing them as an equal. Being the Emperor’s sharpest Blade is simple. Being his friend is more difficult—and wearing his love openly, unthinkable. Not because of what they’ve done, but because of who they are. And the longer they stand beside him, the less certain they are of who that is.
Which has to be a good thing, given everything. Right?
