Summary
Drathus Othral had no inclination his scrying spell would (or could) be used for such... debauchery, but then again, this damn outlander was full of surprises.
Or, the Vestige is a freak and when he realized Drathus could see and hear everything he did, he decided to put on a little show. Rhavil Urano is unwittingly caught in the crossfire, but surely prefers this to execution.

Summary
"What was that?" Marcurio said, looking up at the wall. "Ancient Nordic... is that dragonscript?" He looked between Tun and the wall a couple times. "Are you... I mean. You can't be. Can you?"
Tun stared into him intently, gesturing in question.
"Dragonborn?" Marc said at last, but shook his head. "I doubt it. There hasn't been a Dragonborn in hundreds of years. That would be insane."

Pretty much a novelization of the whole game, but (mostly) from Marcurio's point of view. -
The Adventures of Tun-Tei Cayseene (abandoned) by AltFire
Fandoms: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
02 Oct 2021
Tags
Summary
Something like a journal but written in regular prose instead of journal format. Tun-Tei is a stoic thief and Marcurio is his snarky mage bestie and also they can't stand each other. Mostly Marcurio POV.
[this version is abandoned for the better-divided new version, "true love waits (to rob you blind)"]

Summary
"I fed from Ghorbash, an experience which I find hard to describe tastefully. There is something primal about the action, drawing a measure of his very life from his skin to sustain myself, drinking my fill from my beloved while he gasped and clutched at me... and of course what followed after. Very inappropriate for this journal. I grow warm at the thought."
A fleshed out scene from Thadan's journal.

Summary
Thadan Oakwind was a disgraced, half-blind bosmer with just about nothing to his name when he arrived in Skyrim. He's still disgraced and half-blind, but now he's got friends, a bunch of cool stuff, and kills dragons for fun. He also writes way too much.

So I found an in-game journal mod. Things rapidly got out of hand, and in about eleven days I'd written the first 30k. Then I didn't play for several months, and now I'm back! I'll update whenever I have between 3k-15k words. Chapter lengths vary widely.
I'm @altfire on tumblr.

Summary
“What did it feel like?” Zenyatta asks, and Orisa pauses.
“It felt... warm,” she says. “Safe. It felt like... like a home I have never been to.”
Perhaps it is a trick of the light as Zenyatta bows his head slightly, but he seems to smile wryly. “That, sister, is the light of the Iris shining through you.”--
Orisa sustains an injury and needs healing.

Summary
Jack “Soldier: 76” Morrison is grumpy, surly, and unpersonable - he’s not the leader he once was, charismatic and kind and good, the posterboy for Overwatch and its ideals. Now he’s plagued with regret, guilt, and anger, and it’s especially obvious now that he’s back with Overwatch once more. People are getting fed up with it, and some are even worried about him, until an unlikely friend appears in the form of omnic monk Tekhartha Zenyatta, new to Overwatch and offering an unthought-of solution to Jack’s problem.

Summary
Thadan Oakwind is many things - a skilled archer, a good friend, and the Dragonborn among them. What he isn't is anything but completely inept at all things romance. In short: the Amulet of Mara is a ridiculous and confusing concept, and Thadan's almost one hundred percent sure he's doing this wrong. Good thing Lydia's there to help.
--
An old idea for the supposed Thadan/Ghorbash thing that has since been thrown out. It was more a fun way to write and explore these characters without having to adhere to the playthrough's current events. Cut from "Thadan Oakwind's Journal" when I discovered that I would be able to continue the playthrough, and wished to remove this entirely as it's not canon and might be confusing.
It's also unfinished and cuts off at the end. I lost interest, but I'd rather have it up somewhere than rotting in my google drive.

Summary
Taking place five years after an alternate “Destroy” ending, Haven Mai is a small town detective from Earth who gains fame after solving a big case. He is recruited to join a disjointed and weak C-Sec to solve a series of murders committed against humans on the station, with help from his broody turian bodyguard, the first geth C-Sec Officer, and a fellow human officer.
(Originally written for NaNoWriMo 2014, currently undergoing a massive rewrite. Chapters will be uploaded as they are completed.)

Summary
Mako Rutledge is twelve when the omnium turns back on.
He doesn’t really understand what it means, but from the way all the footage on the news of the massive structure is as shaky as the voices describing it, he knows it’s bad. His parents try to explain that it’s where all the robots come from and Mako, having met a handful of omnics whenever the Rutledges made weekend trips into Sydney, doesn’t understand why it’s bad.
But soon he can smell the smoke on the air - the oil and blood-thick smoke, not the typical wildfire shit - and he gets something of an idea.

Roadhog's life from the beginning of the Crisis to recall. Pretty much 100% headcanon, as close to plausible wrt timelines as possible, given what we've been given.
