Always Read the Fine Print by paraparadigm

Summary
Vera's world ended not with a bang, but with a whimper: the year is 2095, the world in the throes of late-stage climate change. The Earth will keep going, the humans - not so much. As it turns out, the apocalypse is contagious: either that, or she has spectacularly bad luck. Waking up naked on a bloody altar isn't the best introduction to a new place, but you make do with what life hands you. After a rocky start, Vera finds herself in Markarth, trying to make a new home for herself amidst the violence, corruption, and Thalmor zealotry. But just when things are finally settling down - as much as they can in the city of blood and silver - a Nord and a Dunmer roll into town with the mother of all bad deals. Always read the fine print.
This series starts about a year before the events of the game and will continue through the timeline and the DLCs. This fic is the first installment. Canon-compliant(ish), but skews towards a lot of original content. Narration is in 3rd person limited; the protagonist is not the Dragonborn.
Please note: content warnings applied to individual chapters.

Summary
After receiving a mysterious letter, Aerik and Teldryn set out to find its sender, as well as to uncover the mystery behind its message: Aerik's father, a non-existent figure from his past, is alive and well... and heading for Skyrim.
The more they discover, however, the thicker and more complex the conspiracies grow.
It seems the Thalmor's insidiousness reaches further than simply erasing Talos from the order of the Divines.

It is the second century of the 4th Era. Born to ashlander parents, a young Dunmer grows up in Windhelm's Grey Quarter.

Bookmarker's Notes
This story is an absolute masterpiece that combines an often profound allegorical presentation of all the best parts of Elder Scrolls deep lore with the stylisation and whimsy of an old British children's story!
It tells the story of a naught-y young Wylandriah (yes, the absentminded, nonsensical sounding mage from Riften's court) as she breaks all the rules and begins her unconventional adventures in Valenwood.
Includes delightful illustrations embedded in the text.

Summary
The father he had never met had left him with a Breton name. Growing up in Dawnstar, his mother's people had bestowed the ignoble kenning of "Honey-Milk". His mother's friends among the Khajiit caravans outside the city called him ja'ahn kriniit, which in Ta'agra meant "laughing boy". But the caravan leader, Ri'yaan, had always called him ahzi' ja'ahn—"my boy"—and when he was young, it was this name he had loved best.
(The story of a half-Nord boy growing up in Dawnstar, and his friendship with the Khajiit of the caravans.)

Summary
Any war between the Thalmor and the Imperials over the kingdoms of Elsweyr would leave many Khajiit dead unless there was a way to effectively give one side such an overwhelming advantage that a war could be won without a single arrow being fired in its name.
The Thalmor had shown me the linchpin that fastened Elsweyr to the empire. And so, I pulled it.

Summary
Vivec goes to kill the fifth of his children, the Ruddy Man. In a manner of speaking. In another, more usual manner of speaking, he goes out drinking with Nerevar in an all-night seafood restaurant/bar in Nova Orsinium.
Nerevar is not sure he is okay with this.

Bookmarker's Notes
Imagine, if you will, an irreverent, empathetically challenged, and probably perpetually high warrior-poet deity freshly ascended to godhood, and bent on taking his best mortal friend out for drinks whether he wants to go or not. This is Vivec and Nerevar. AE CHIM ALTADOON DUNMERI MOTHERFUCKER!

The most detailed and true-to-lore depiction of the Dwemer I have ever read, and quite possibly in existence. A difficult, but rewarding read for fans of the lore of the Elder Scrolls!

Bookmarker's Notes
As it currently exists, this fic is the coming of age story of a young Dunmeri girl growing up in Morrowind, and how she eventually joined the Twin Lamps. Ignore the existing summary and tags--they are for a fic that has not yet been written. It has probably been abandoned as a continuing fic, but leaves off at a good end point for a short story, and could be a polished completed story with only minor editing, or maybe just a short epilogue.
