Summary
Institutions are changing after the Oblivion Crisis, and the Thieves Guild is no exception. After a job gone wrong, Angela finds herself on notice with the Grey Fox. She thought she’d get off easy until she learned just who it was they assigned to babysit her.
A rush of wings stirs the air, and a glossy black feather floats on the wind. Helvius should not be alive, but somehow he is—and he knows who to thank.

Summary
Skyrim founders in the wake of a shattered empire, and there are those who would split it more—patriots, profiteers, and warmongers fresh out of jobs. With competing ambitions growing more costly to bear, some say the land is ripe for a hero. But who should it be? No one can agree.
In the year 4E 201, it’s up to a band of misfits—a Blade without a Septim, a priestess without a temple, an outlander without a soul, and a sellsword without a choice—to stop the world from careening off its axis. The Wheel turns, but with souls serving as the favored currency between mortals and the planes, one gets caught in the spokes.

Summary
The land of Skyrim founders in the wake of a shattered empire, and there are those who would split it more—patriots, profiteers, and warmongers fresh out of jobs. With competing ambitions growing more costly to bear, some say the land is ripe for a hero. But who should it be? Not this particular Dragonborn.
An exploration of power vacuums and some of the more underbaked elements of TES lore.

Orders of Uncertainty by paraparadigm, polymorphic
Fandom Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous (Video Game)
27 Aug 2022
Summary
This story collection started as somewhat of a joke between Polymoprhic and myself, involving everyone's favorite Lawful Evil Hellknight of the gnomish persuasion. And then... let's just say things spiraled, because neither of us can take a writing project Not Seriously, and this is why we can't have nice things, and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near fandom. Loosely based on our cogitations about the Aeon playthrough, Regill Derenge, and what sorts of writing experiments can be thus produced.

Summary
Dashing, proud, and unspeakably selfish, Valsanna Wall-Hewer is the flower of her generation. She understands, as everyone in the Reach does, that with the Civil War at their doorstep and Cidhna the site of a failed insurrection, safety does not come cheap. And Val’s safety has been purchased from none other than Thonar Silver-Blood, the infamous ‘businessman’ whose machinations are the subject of whispers, and who is not selective about whether he is paid in coin, blood or flesh. With his once iron-clad power showing its fissures, he sees in Val’s person an opportunity for the sort of ‘business’ he excels at, using that most convenient of financial vehicles: marriage.
But Thonar’s boundless appetite for intrigue is at last catching up with him, and it threatens to destroy not just him but the order on which Val’s life has been built. In this new world the highest honours are the most dangerous traps and the boundaries between friend and rival, lover and hated foe, right and wrong are ever-shifting—and Thonar holds the key to both future opportunities, and murderous secrets.
