Something From Univercity of Riften by hermy_mora

Summary
The year would be something like 2022 by Earth’s calendar—but on Nirn, it was the Fifth Era, year 187. Probably. And Riften—once a damp little mess of canals and crime—has reinvented itself into a moderately successful urban sprawl, home to over 1.3 million residents. Towering glass buildings reflect the endless parade of headlights and LED ads, while electric buses hum down streets once haunted by whispers of thieves and assassins. Now, it’s all smartphones and credit ratings. The world has changed. Only humans remain.
At least, that’s how it looks on the surface. If you know where to look, you can still find traces of the old world—vampires who’ve learned to live in the light, an elf or two stubborn enough to outlast history, a dragon lurking where no one believes they exist… and from the shadows of Oblivion, something still watches, waiting for the right moment to step through again.

Summary
This is a very scary short story.
It has everything: a monster, a human, and the night.
Really, what else could you want?(Possibly romance. Possibly murder. Possibly warm body under the blanket.)
Once, Pelagius III Septim outlawed bathing and kissing.
Our heroes broke both rules — and possibly a few doors.
They may also have plotted an assassination.
Of whom? Well… that depends who’s holding the pizza.Because if you order one, you’d better be ready to meet your doom.
Let’s say, at the hands of a demon — the very Daedric kind Pelagius once tried to outwit.
One with lips a little too warm,
and a disastrous relationship with time management.This short story in the University of Riften series. The events take place in modern Tamriel, 5E 189 onward.

The Harbinger of Catastrophe by hermy_mora

Summary
This is a pre-prologue to the third book in the series, Shards of Time. It takes us to Riften, into Serana’s apartment, to share with her and Mae one important night. Something is seriously broken in both Oblivion and Mundus. Something is coming—and there is always a friend to deliver the warning. But not every friend arrives in person, and not all friends are ones you know.
The year is comparable to 202x on Earth’s calendar—but on Nirn, it is the Fifth Era, year 188. The Oblivion Gates stand open, and countless things cross through them as if it were an ordinary Wednesday. Two years have passed since the events of The Labyrinth, and our group—made up of creatures once thought gone from Nirn, like elves and dragons, or dismissed as myths, like vampires and Daedric Princes—had hoped to live ordinary, mundane lives.
But the universe never lets them relax...

Shards of Time, Vol. 1 by hermy_mora
Fandoms: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Elder Scrolls, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Elder Scrolls Online

Summary
Two years have passed since JD, Serana, Nocturnal, and their friends convinced themselves they had stabilized Oblivion—that life could finally go on as expected. Even Azura shifted her violet gaze from future to today. But they didn’t account for the Butterfly Effect… or the danger of meddling with mechanics they never truly understood. Now, omens hint at a crisis the likes of which neither Tamriel nor Oblivion have seen since the Oblivion Crisis itself.
The year is roughly equivalent to the 2020s on Earth’s calendar—but on Nirn, it is the Fifth Era, year 188. The Oblivion Gates stand open, and countless things wander through them as if it were an ordinary Wednesday. Coldharbour keeps evolving in its unexplainable way, becoming the strangest place in the universe.
Our group—creatures once thought gone from Nirn, like elves and dragons, or dismissed as myths, like vampires and Daedric Princes—now lead lives that are, in their own ways, surprisingly mundane. Some, like Mae Volkihar, have found new reasons to exist. Some are preoccupied with love—or with themselves. And some very Daedric things are still waiting, still hoping, to reclaim a life long denied.

Summary
This is Second Volume of Shards of Time novel.
Fifth Era, 189.
Christmas week is near, but time itself is no longer just broken — it’s catastrophically screwed. History loops, fractures, contradicts itself, and stubbornly refuses to be repaired. The group is split in two: Serana’s camp still believes the timeline can be fixed, while Nocturnal’s is certain any attempt will only make things worse. When every sane solution fails, one question remains:
What if insanity is the answer? Fortunately, they do have an expert in that field. Serana insists asking Sheogorath is the worst possible idea.
Meanwhile, life goes on. The year roughly mirrors the 2020s by Earth’s reckoning, but on Nirn it is the Fifth Era — an age where Oblivion Gates stand open like an inconvenience, and Daedra wander through them as if it were an ordinary Wednesday. Coldharbour keeps evolving into the strangest place in the universe. Ancient beings once thought gone — elves, dragons, vampires, Daedric Princes — now live lives that are oddly mundane. Some chase love, some chase purpose, some chase themselves. And somewhere in the cracks of reality, very old Daedric things are still waiting — hoping — to reclaim a life long denied.Series

Heart’s Day, aka V-Day, and a little imagination (Short) by hermy_mora
Fandoms: Elder Scrolls, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Elder Scrolls Online

Summary
Heart’s Day on Nirn has a patron, and of course it’s the one telling the story. What began as a simple gathering on the 16th of Sun’s Dawn, sometime around 5E 191… or 193, depending on how much wine has already been spilled, turns into an evening of broken promises, seductive Daedra, and questions no one is fully sober enough to answer.
Surviving Daedric Princes attend alongside a few who clearly slipped back into existence through a clerical error in fate. At the heart of it all are Serana, her Dragonborn husband, and her foster sister Mae, yes, that Mae, the first vampire on Nirn. Sheogorath is present, naturally, carving hearts out of sanity while everyone else focuses on more traditional vices.
An exciting story of indulgence, temptation, and celebration unfolds, complete with deep moral lessons… or possibly amorality. Definitions, as always, require validation.

Shards of Time, Vol. 3 by hermy_mora

Summary
This is the third and final volume of the Shards of Time trilogy.
Fifth Era, 190. An odd group of Daedric Princes, Daughters of Coldharbour like Serana, and other dragons who somehow forgot to go extinct are about to solve the root cause of time destabilization in the absence of Akatosh.
Though the Aurbis still holds cards that insist on the end of the kalpa, fate is preparing to produce new and unexpected allies.
In this book, many key milestones of the Elder Scrolls universe will become a little clearer, while time paradoxes will either be fixed… or completely messed up.
Happy ending?
