Author has written 4 stories for Elder Scroll series.

I’ve loved games since I was sitting in my dad’s lap playing River Raid, Submarine Commander, and The Black Cauldron more than 30 years ago. That’s right: I’m a grown man who writes fanfiction. Draw what conclusions you will.

A few things you should know:

1: I belong firmly to the school of thought that a light saber will make anything at least 2% more awesome. Whatever the setting of one of my fanfictions, a glowing laser sword will probably be involved somehow. This is one darling I cannot kill. I am partial to white, black, red, and green blades.

2: I like quality reviews. Reviews that congratulate me for my ability to paste words into a text box don’t help me. If you liked a chapter or a story, do more than just tell me about it. Tell me why you liked it. As much as I write fanfiction for my personal entertainment, I flatter myself that I write things that other people would like to read. Odds are, I will produce more of what you liked as a result.

3: In a similar vein if you didn’t like it, talk to me about it. There is no need to be sarcastic or mean-spirited; just be honest. Tell me what exactly you didn’t like. Unless it breaks the spirit of item 1, I will take it into consideration in my future efforts. Keep it respectful, honest, and precise, and I will allow even the most damning review to be publically visible.

4: If you would like to talk to me about my stories; want ask questions; or just see bad grammar that drives you insane, send me a private message.

5: I hope you have fun reading my fanfiction.

The Fortunate Favourite by Amorissy reviews
The first time he met her, she breezed into his city in search of information, the Thalmor on her heels, and she left nothing but questions in her wake. Now, the winter brings her back to him, seeking a sanctuary only he can provide. This time, his services will cost her - perhaps more than she is willing to pay. (Book Two of the "Archer's Paradox: Shadowmarked" quartet.)

Dovahsil by adamantineangel reviews
Different. She had always been different, no more human to those surrounding her than she was Dov in the eyes of the dragons she had been born to slay. It was all she had ever known, the reality she was outwardly indifferent to…the reality she inwardly mourned. Adaria had long ago resigned herself to her fate, to solitude and the power of a dark force inside her. Until she met him.

Skyrim: Dovahkiin by Raven Studios reviews
Bellona's calling in life was to combat the undead (and those who would raise them, whenever possible). She was good at it and content with the life she led. She would never have considered fighting dragons part of her purview...especially because they were extinct. (Images in the cover (c)Bethesda Softworks. No infringement is intended.)

Skyrim: The Unlikely Companions (Rewritten as of 20-04-2020!) by NoLoreMaster reviews
He travelled to Skyrim to find a means to end it all. She fled to Skyrim to postpone the inevitable at the College of Winterhold. Certain they would live to regret it, they saved the life of an overly ambitious Thalmor, but they would unite to rise against the real threat Skyrim would offer them.

We Know by Zute reviews
"Sweet Mother, sweet Mother, send your child unto me, for the sins of the unworthy must be baptized in blood and fear." The words awoke the scarred flesh on Nessa's back, setting her feet on a path to collecting a blood debt from her childhood. (AU This is NOT canon Skyrim. M-rating for a reason.)

The Dragon of the South by wickedmetalviking1990 reviews
A cynical veteran of the Great War, "well preserved" by the princes of Oblivion, is now sent to the one place he loathes the most: Skyrim. Here Servius Crixus comes face to face with his own personal demons, faces darkness beyond imagination and learns who he is. Rated M for violence, (much) language and other things. Part Three of "The Dragon" series of my Elder Scrolls fanon

Arcadia by karolina19 reviews
Introverted yet resourceful, a young Breton woman decides to leave her past behind and go to Skyrim. She was just looking for some peace and quiet and a chance to start over; instead, she finds that she is Dragonborn, destined (or doomed) to save everyone from Alduín. Destiny was the last word she wanted to hear, but destiny has a funny way of finding you when you try to run.

The Tale of Argis the Bulwark by Smoldering Thoughts reviews
The housecarls of Skyrim weren't always as such. They have a history and a story. This is the story of Argis told from his very own lips. His adventures, his lovers and his scar. Rated T for suggestive themes, and descriptive gore. I don't own anything.

Hello Stranger by ZabuFanfics reviews
Chandra Nalaar only wants two things: to forget her ex and to avoid falling into another relationship. The first is easy enough, but when Jace Beleren forces himself into her life, she finds it difficult to attain her second desire. Can she open her heart as well as her mind to what he has to offer her? Written for a prompt on Tumblr. Not my usual ship.

The Sword-Maiden's Promise by Sinclair Clansman reviews
Clan Blackthorn. One of the oldest and most powerful families in Skyrim. That was, until the massacre. Now all that remains is Jordis the Sword-Maiden, reduced to the status of Housecarl and with one thought in her mind - to restore the family name back to its original glory.

Blood, Fire and Ice by LivewithHonour reviews
Titus Arnson doesn't like being a hero, sometimes it's almost enough to make him regret slaying Alduin. Two years have past and Skyrim has a new set of problems, rebels who just won't quit and a wave of vicious vampire attacks. Motivated by a particular hatred for vampires, Titus joins the Dawnguard, wrongly believing he has at last found an enemy he can feel no guilt for slaying.

From the Bottom of a Bottle by athos-aramis reviews
The Dragonborn is B-R-O-K-E, broke. Her house is in shambles, her name is disgraced, and there isn't even enough money left for a nice bottle of ale. Elsa is down on her luck until she is forced into the hall of the Companions and finds Vilkas.

The Mind of Ysgramor by QuietBlondeOne reviews
He was always considered the wiser of the two, as his fellow Companions had said. But growing up in the halls of Jorrvaskr and being raised to fight has its challenges, and beyond that, bigger things await. The tale of Vilkas from the Companions. Involves the Companion/Main/DB quest lines, and Vilkas/F!Dragonborn later on. M for language, violence, and later sexual content.

Unable to recall her name, her past or the reason for her imprisonment, it is only a matter of time before it catches up.

The Dragonborn and the Lioness by wickedmetalviking1990 reviews
