Author has written 2 stories for Elder Scroll series.

Hello there. I supposed you clicked here to find a bit more about me.

I first started writing here a very long time ago (back in the day when the Skyrim fanfic scene was BUMPIN') but got so busy with life I fell out of it. Eventually I came across the files on my laptop and decided to take a stroll down memory lane, and of course I caught the writing bug again and swore I would finish what I started (god dammit I have a million things to do why am I like this fuck my inability to leave projects unfinished).

So, while I do try to write when I can, please keep in mind I am a crazy university asshole who's juggling a crazy school load, a job, volunteering, and a social life all while trying to manage my mental and physical health. Right now I’m on a break until my term is finished and I’ve lined up some chapters, but I’m planning to do TONS of writing this summer so be assured I will update regularly fairly soon.

The stories I have right now are:

A Tale of a Nightingale

This is my main bitch and I put a lot of time and careful thought into it. It's a goliath of a story I started years ago centering around the Thieves Guild questline (aka the best questline). I wanted to write a story that painted Skyrim and its people more realistic and immersive, the main character Isobel is a capable but mentally unstable thief who has to learn how to cope with pain and love and discover the true meaning of strength. There is a Brynjolf romance (because we all love those), but if you're looking for the usual fluffy and/or passionate kind you won't find it here.

Two Birds One Stone

This is my side bitch. As I started writing about Karliah in A Tale of a Nightingale I struggled a lot with all the details of her life and the Thieves Guild during Gallus' leadership. I decided to write this short little mini-series focusing on her and Gallus (as well as establish the details of the Guild pre-Mercer's reign) in an attempt to fully flesh them out for my main story and ensure they are interesting, well-developed characters. You do not need to read A Tale of a Nightingale at all to enjoy this story.

Nightingale's Song by Bre'Lakor reviews
"Love is a foolish emotion, it only means you need a shorter knife." A pity he didn't heed those words when he first heard them - it did not become a thief to get tangled up in feelings. Story based around the events of the Thieves Guild in Skyrim from when Gallus is still alive to the present in game, major focus on Brynjolf, some slight changes to canon!
