Summary
It is time to record the known history and adventures of the Khajiit known as The Last. Dragonborn. Not a stapping young Nord, not a magical Elf, not even a vicious orc.
The chosen was a mere Khajiit,
Someone who should not have been in Skyrim at all.
But it appears Akatosh was just as willing to make a story as he was to give us our saviourA re-telling of my first fanfics on this site of Sayori (pronounced sigh-or-ri") the Khajiit
Dovahkin. Having done first person stories, here is the full story of a reluctant Dragonborn.
The story contains mod's that I used when playing the game that shaped/inspired this story.

Summary
They call me many names.
All of them fit. None of them know me.
Somewhere between the taking and the training, I misplaced my soul. Or perhaps they carved it out, one command at a time.
Now I am the pause before the scream.
The shadow before the end.
The silence that follows.
But silence remembers. And so do I.

Summary
To bear one’s name within an Elder Scroll is no blessing — it is a curse. Only two knew that truth: the Last Dragonborn and Serana Volkihar. Yet even the Scrolls themselves had not foreseen what would come to pass between them.
This is the first installment of a trilogy that follows the path of Einir — a Nord cursed twice: with the soul of a dragon and a love for an immortal woman. Set against the events of Skyrim and its DLCs (Dawnguard > Main Quest > Dragonborn), the trilogy reimagines the saga with greater depth, sharper edges, and twists even seasoned lore-masters won’t see coming.
The story is complete and will be translated and posted here every Monday and Thursday.

Epistolary Acumen: The Diary of Gwynnara Ashfield, Dragonborn by SilenceOfAutumn

Summary
Donated upon her apparent death to the Arcaneum of the College of Winterhold, the diary of Gwynnara Ashfield, Dragonborn, Archmage, Stormwitch and Spellcaller, is a record of her adventures in the land of Skyrim, beginning from her first steps into the land, to her discovery of her Dovah Sil, to the final journey she made into the unknown of the Sea of Ghosts. Part diary, part field notes and part magical textbook, the College would advise students to see this text as a resource to be learned from, not merely a historical relic. Please ensure that you treat the pages with care, lest you be torn apart by angry atronachs.

Summary
One of Gotham City’s iconic “Robins”, Tim Drake was transported to a strange medieval world with no memory of how he arrived. Mistaken for a rebel soldier by the Imperial Legion, he found himself facing execution in the town of Helgen. His life was ultimately spared not by mercy or justice, but by the cataclysmic appearance of a black dragon that razed the town of Helgen and left him with agonizing physical and psychological wounds.
As he struggles to survive in this new land of Skyrim, Tim's main goal is to find a way home. However, this mission is continually derailed by the needs of the locals, his own near crippling injuries, and the looming threat of the dragon he had the misfortune to survive.

Summary
Gore wasn’t thinking. Fight or flight had kicked in, and when his body couldn’t pull from the adrenaline he’d already lost from the river run earlier, it ate away at whatever strength he had left instead. He didn’t think. He simply acted. Instinct, pure, primal, and protective, filled his mind as he reached up and raked his nails across his forearm. Skin ripped and folded beneath his ragged nails as he dug shallow grooves into the meat of his arm. Blood immediately rose to meet him, pebbling against his skin from the cold before dripping down his arm and staining the snow beneath him.
That should get their attention.
Effie’s wound was an old, weeping thing that bled beneath the strain of moving around. She’d been using just enough magic to keep it from seeping into the bedding around them.
Gore though? Gore’s arm bled openly and freely. A fresh, oozing wound.
True to their nature, the wolves turned their attention to him.
. . .
Gore and Ipigenia, still recovering from the events of Dawnstar, find brief refuge in the wilds outside of Windhelm, but their safety is skin-deep to all that haunts the night.

Summary
When dragons return to Skyrim and begin laying waste to the province, the only one who can stop them is the Dragonborn... but what happens when the supposed hero of Nord legend is the furthest thing possible from a proper, Nord warrior? When Archer, an aspiring Argonian adventurer from Cyrodiil, learns that he is the Dragonborn, he finds himself bearing a whole new load of expectations and responsibilities that he never wanted — specifically, having to stop the End Times to save the world. Now, Archer must become the hero that Skyrim needs, while also overcoming every obstacle from xenophobic Nords to dragons and everything in between. Along the way he will make new friends, new enemies, grow in power, and most importantly, learn — namely, about himself, love, and the truth of what being a hero is really about.
Not a novelization. Features sexual themes, a Skyrim with added depth, a flawed protagonist, consequences for actions, and TES-flavored fantasy xenophobia.

Summary
Long have the Legends of the Dragonborn been told. A mighty warrior, who will rise and defeat the world eater for good. Yet when Alduin returns, who will face him?
No one expected the cat.
"Excuse me, Kazra-la Khajiit, not cat."
Join me on this a-meow-sing adventure, with Kazra-la the Suthay Khajiit. Thrust into this unexpected role, how will a humble Khajiit merchant cope? Read on to find out.
*I will try to update as regularly as possible and aim to do 1 or 2 chapters each week. If things go well then I might manage more. This is my current ADHD hyper fixation, so don't be surprised if my update speed slows down sometime in the future.
Thank you to everyone willing to give this a chance and please leave a comment if there's any quests you want Kazra-la to do. If it fits her character then I will try my best to include it.

Anuriel flees the malevolent Arch-Curate, Alduin returns.

Summary
(UPDATE: This fic is retired as of 8/8/2025 - See final chapter for status update on story's future)
Decided to be mean and drop DC's Tim Drake/Red Robin into the role of reluctant Dovahkiin on my very modded version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. While they will be going through the standard storyline of the rise of the last Dragonborn from the game, the events will likely not turn out exactly as they do in canon due to both Tim's origins from the DCU and the non-canon characters from certain mods I will be using.
Warning: This is being pantsed more than plotted, and this is not beta read. We'll see where this journey takes us. Mostly I'm just doing this for my own amusement.
Note: If you have any questions about the playthrough and Tim's feelings/experiences that aren't described in the chapters, please ask me in the comments. I'll do my best to answer your questions as best I can.
