Summary
Pretending to be a thief isn’t exactly on Svana’s to-do list, but Delphine’s scheme to find Esbern involves doing just that. Brynjolf has no idea that the dirty street rat he welcomes into the Guild is actually the Dragonborn. Falling in love with him was also not a part of the plan, but alas, things tend to go sideways when thieves are involved.

Summary
Every night for the last 22 years, Mercer Frey has been haunted by the same nightmare of a dark-haired woman, a cursed tomb, and a murder of crows. Brynjolf has been barely holding the crumbling guild together as its members are slowly picked off one by one through a series of arrests, executions, and accidents. When an exhausted, staving, and half-dead stranger stumbles into the streets of Riften, she finds herself caught up in a decades-long curse that somehow has much more to do with her than anyone could have realized.

Summary
The Dragonborn has gone on her Honeymoon. The province of Skyrim is heavily damaged by the rampage of the dragons. But now that the dragons have stood down and the vampiric threat is gone, people want to rebuild. But not everyone is content with simply piecing things back together. This is the story of the very unsettled and very unsatisfied vampire Serana.
She’s off the leash and out to explore the world. But the world has intrinsically changed, now. Who knows what kind of trouble she is going to get into on her way?
A Skyrim story from Serana’s perspective, with more than a few devious mods. Join her as she tries to move out from the Dragonborn's basement and make a new life for herself without the Dragonborn's guidance. Mistakes, Friendship, Love and Acceptance will follow.
- "Came for the Smut, but stayed for the Lore, which is astounding considering the content."
- "The mod-lore and the lore are so intricately woven together that it makes this story really amazing. Some chapters I'm diving into the lore pages to follow up on what I've read. Highly Recommended!"
- "This made me reinstall Skyrim, damnit!"

Summary
Usually when he finally dragged himself to bed this late he would be out as soon as his head hit his pillow, his mind exhausted after a day of pedantic contracts and bribes. Yet, now he laid awake, mead sitting uneasy in his stomach, thinking only of Nim.
Nim who, until a week ago, was a complete stranger to him. She was on all accounts an off putting, solitary, and violent woman who never spoke a word about herself. The kind of woman you probably shouldn’t be thinking of in the baths, naked, running lavender soap through her long, wavy hair.
The idea that the Bosmer known as Nim could be capable of love was laughable. Any tenderness was met with teeth, a dog with a loud bark and even deeper bite. It made sense that a woman as violent as she could only be reformed into something softer by the Thieves Guild. More importantly, by Brynjolf's guiding hand. A friendship blossomed between them, but would it become more? With the fate of the world rested on her shoulders and a sinister conspiracy underfoot, would Nim let her frozen heart thaw?
A story told through the perspectives of Brynjolf and the Dragonborn as the events of the Thieves Guild questline unfold.

Summary
Gemma snorted. “My future is uncertain, Brynjolf, but I can assure you it is not with the Thieves Guild.”
His teeth gleamed in the dark as he smiled sharply. “We’ll see about that, lass.”Gemma lives a quiet life in Riften, spending her day working in her father’s bakery and chatting with the townsfolk. She knows everybody and likes many. When one day, Brynjolf reveals to her that her father is up to his neck in debt, her world turns on its head. From one day to another, she is faced with decisions for her very survival she never had to think she’d have to make – and for some reason her path always leads her back to Brynjolf ...
- Honestly, Gemma just has a really high speech level. Also she's not the Dragonborn.

Summary
Two years since she had returned to her homeland. Two years since she'd sought out Kodlak Whitemane and joined the Companions, only to have the man who had saved her life murdered and the man she had come to love turn cold. Two long years of grief, battling the world alone, and becoming a warrior of legend. Yet, in all of her travels and adventures, her heart still yearned for the Master at Arms of The Companions. She had never found another, always hoping to return to the one she knew her heart belonged to.
When Vilkas sends her a letter, requesting her help to cure him of Beast Blood, she returns with the hopes of rekindling their love and finally finding peace. But will she be able to break through his walls once again or will the anger and hurt be the one thing the Dragonborn cannot overcome?
