Author has written 12 stories for Elder Scroll series, and Fallout.

This is a Skyrim-only account I created for the interim in which I cannot play Skyrim, as the xbox I play it on is at my parents' house several hundred miles away, and my PC has too many other things for me to install the game, no matter how much I love it. I only got the chance to play it for a very brief period of time, but I did manage to finish four questlines. I haven't really gotten to play the other games in the series yet, save for the very beginning of Oblivion, but maybe someday. Never mind. I have it on my PC now. At some point I'll get my Charahub together and have screenshots of Oslaine and various other OCs so that you actually know what they look like (although with the vanilla game it's difficult to get anyone quite how I picture them).

I really love the NPCs of Skyrim, and I tend to care more about them than I do about my DB(s). I like NPC pairings a lot. I mean, I love fics about people's DBs, too, but I have trouble believing nothing happens amongst the rest of Skyrim's denizens. I like to see what they get up to. I especially like to see really minor NPCs, and I love seeing them interact with characters they don't actually have connections with in canon.

I've written a few fills for the Kink Meme over yonder on LJ. Some of them I've brought over here, some of them I haven't. Some are rated explicit/MA and are therefore posted to AO3 only. There's a link to my AO3 at the bottom of the page.

Some stories I've posted are on the same timeline, in the order of:

What She Wanted Practice Makes Perfect A Knight in Shining Skyforge Steel Heaven and Home Again

Moments and Mead Halls (can you tell I have an alliteration problem) is a bit wonky timeline-wise, and starts well before Practice Makes Perfect and ends several years after the completion of the main questline. PMP and AKISSS take place in the middle (I recommend reading them first, but you don't need to.) I'll probably try to do another writing-challenge sequel at some point, but it may take me some time as I write other things. Children and Companions takes place in several different years, but it does fit on the same timeline.

Monsters and I Think We're Going to Get Along Splendidly are stand-alone pieces.

Feel free to PM me whenever. I can't guarantee I'll respond promptly, because I'm just generally forgetful when it comes to that sort of thing, but I'll try. Also reviews are always appreciated.

Mirror by Silent-Vociferation reviews
The little girl was the Dragonborn's mirror image. That fact was nothing new. Onmund and the Dragonborn had heard it dozens of times. But the uncomfortable feeling they both felt whenever someone told them so... that was very new.

Bad Poetry by MmeDeMerteuil reviews
It all started with a bad poem found lying around at the cistern; Joie, the Dragonborn and a Nightingale, had no way of knowing just how out of control it would end up being. A fic born from a cracky prompt at the SKM, which starts out silly, and turns a lot more serious in later chapters. Mercer/fDB, implied Brynjolf F/DB. Rated M for language and sexuality.
