Summary
‘All times are end times for someone.’
This series follows the adventures of Knight-Paladin Gelebor and the Nerevarine Nadene Othryn as they navigate an increasingly tumultuous Tamriel amidst an ever-changing crowd of friends and enemies.
Takes place in the same universe as the stories in my "Waters for a Hopeful Purpose" series. Unlike that series, the tales in this sequence are all direct sequels to each other.

Summary
"Night follows day, and so know that this primary insight shall fall alike unto the turbulent evening sea where all faiths are tested. Again, a reassurance: even the Usurper went under the Iliac before he rose up to claim his fleet. Fear only for a second. Shaken belief is like water for a purpose: in the garden of the Dawn we shall breathe whole realities...I give my soul to the Magna Ge, sayeth the joyous in Paradise, for they created Mehrunes the Razor in secret, in the very bowels of Lyg, the domain of the Upstart who vanishes. Though they came from diverse waters, each Get shared sole purpose: to artifice a prince of good, spinning his likeness in random swath, and imbuing him with Oblivion's most precious and scarce asset: hope."
This is my post-canon series that begins five years after the destruction of Alduin and depicts characters struggling to exist in a Skyrim suffering many troubles. A shared continuity, though the main characters may change per story. Major character death, usually. Bittersweet endings, always. Total surrender to hopelessness—never!

Summary
After alleviating the Ultra-Luxe of its cannibal problem, the Courier is offered an extravagant thank-you: a private dinner at the Gourmand. For two.
For Six, it's just dinner. For Veronica, it’s a mini-nuke going off in slow motion. Because nothing says “casual evening” like candlelight, shared wine, and being hopelessly in love with your best friend while she has absolutely no idea.

Summary
"What a fool you've made of me. To allow your hands to take my love and life; could you not grant me one such intimacy?"
Apostled as savior, crowned as Solstheim's Dragon Cardinal, and burdened with the title "Vahlok the Jailor", Vahlok has spent nearly seventy years suffering the weight of the myth of the Guardian and the Traitor. Unable to reconcile his grief, he composes a memoir of his years with Miraak, back when they were still Mika and Loukas, in hopes it somehow reaches him in Apocrypha.
