I'm a big Ulfric fangirl so I jumped at the chance to write a romance with him ^o^
The Dragonborn is based very loosely on my own Dragonborn from Bethesda's amazing Skyrim

Enjoy :)

It had been 4 years since the end of the civil war. Ulfric couldn't be happier. He was now High King of Skyrim and all the Imperial bastards who had ever defied his claim to the throne were either dead or had fled Skyrim years ago. Although Imperials were still a race that populated Skyrim, Ulfric made damn sure that their allegiance was with him.
He didn't want to fight with them anymore. The war had been won, rightfully, by the Stormcloaks and the Empire would just have to accept that Skyrim wasn't going to fall into its lap and honour the terms of its White Gold Concordat.
But Ulfric was more concerned over the welfare of his people than the Imperial scumbags, and he had to admit that he cared for the welfare of one person in particular.

The Thane of Eastmarch

The Thane was one of Ulfric's most loyal and trustworthy Stormcloaks. She had fought by Ulfiric's side during the many battles that led up to his claim of the throne.
Ulfric had always been confused at her loyalty to the Stormcloaks, as she was, after all, an Imperial. On the many occasions that Ulfric questioned her loyalty the young women would simply reply "Skyrim is home to more than just Nords", to which the Nord would simply smile at and the Imperial smiled back.
But more intriguing than her loyalty to Skyrim was her "legendary" birthright. The young woman was a Dragonborn. The first of her kind in centuries.
As Ulfric had studied with the Greybeards for many years and managed to master the thu'um, he was in obvious awe of the girl. Many times he had seen her command the thu'um on the battlefield with such ease and grace that Ulfric was somewhat envious.

But today, the battles for Skyrim were over and she began using her "talent" less and less. In fact, she hadn't shouted for the past year.
But then again, she had done very little over the past year.

The madness sent her into early "retirement".
