The Upset of Camryn Arelaine, a Memoir by addipyon
Fandoms: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Elder Scrolls, Skyrim, Video Games - Fandom

Summary
(UPDATE 8/3 HIATUS OVER, NEW MATERIAL YIPPIE)
A lack of direction led Camryn Arelaine to embark on an adventure across Tamriel to find her calling shortly after her 27th birthday.
Upon landing in Skyrim, her world spirals into loss, terror, addiction- and culminates in a years long pursuit of redemption beyond an inconsolable depth of despair.
A grim, visceral, seinen flavored character study where the only victory is the imperfect quest of a fragile woman enduring the burden of apocalypse.

Summary
A Fictional Memoir of the tradition of a woman playing Peter Pan, which helped me think through my Gender. I'm Captain, and I am in charge. This is my Neverland, no one else's.
Credit for the Hamlet references goes to my best friend, ShakespeareFreak.
This NeuroQueer Retelling is appropriate for readers 10 and up, AR 5.20 because kids have the RIGHT to read Queer Literature!
Since an "Actress" is assumed to be a woman, and Peter Pan is a boy, there is Misgendering in this fanfiction. It was in the tags, but I want to put a clear Trigger Warning. Also, Trigger Warning for the racial slur that refers to Indigenous People as "Red." I had thoughts
To #NotYourTigerLily, who put up with me as I learned
To Larissa Fasthorse, who justly restored my lost dignity
To Sondra Lee, who played Tiger Lily, and saved my life
To Adolph Green, who taught me what makes a monster and what makes a man is complicated
To Jerome Robbins, who let me hold two truths at once
To ShakespeareFreak, My Friend ‘Til Forever, I might get through with a friend like you
And of course, to Mary Martin, who taught me about the "Unusual things you can do."Series

Summary
Two sleeping dragons - one a sacred ally of mankind, the other its sworn destroyer. Two heroes marked with the symbols of the dragons. Their meeting heralds the dragon's awakening - and the world's ending.
Robin remembers nothing-not his name, not his home, not the strange mark on his hand. Found in a field by the Shepherds of Ylisse, he is taken in by the royal siblings Chrom and Lissa. But when a chance encounter with a mysterious masked warrior reveals that a dark fate awaits them all, Robin finds himself thrust into a war that spans nations and generations.
As the Fell Dragon Grima rises and the dead march in its service, Robin must uncover the truth of his identity before it's too late. For the bonds he forges with Chrom and the Shepherds may be the only thing standing between Ylisse and annihilation.
Sometimes, the one who can save the world is also the one destined to destroy it.

Summary
Fire Alone Can Save Our Planet...
For generations, four planets of an alien race of cats have shared the solar system according to the laws laid down by their ancestors. But the Thunder Fleet cats are in grave danger, and the sinister Shadow Fleet grows stronger every day. Noble soldiers are dying - and some deaths are more mysterious than others.
In the midst of this turmoil appears an ordinary working cat named Rusty... who may turn out to be the bravest pilot of them all.---
A sci-fi retelling of the Warrior Cats series. A very simple beat-for-beat retelling but with all the characters as an anthro species of cat living in a futuristic space setting. Plot rewriting will be minimal.
Updates by chapter as I find time. This is a project for myself while I recover from surgery.

Summary
«— А вы-то что здесь делаете? — удивленно воскликнул Питер, заметив нас в сгущающихся сумерках.
— Да так, решили пройтись перед ужином, — ответил Ремус. Голос его звучал обыденно и мягко».
Тело Питера Петтигрю найдут на дне глубокого оврага за пределами Академии. Экспертиза затянется, но в конце концов полиции придется решить, что студент просто перебрал с алкоголем, возвращаясь ночью из паба, и оступился в тумане.
Мы будем стоять на его похоронах, подставив бледные лица колючему ветру Камбрии. Альбус скажет прекрасную, меланхоличную речь. И никто, кроме нас пятерых, никогда не узнает, что прежде, чем Питер упал в эту бездну, Сириус пожал ему руку, Ремус поправил ему воротник, Джеймс отступил на шаг, Лили не отвела взгляда, а я — молчал.
Теперь, в 2015 году, сидя в пустой квартире за бесконечным, выматывающим переводом Менандра, я отчаянно стараюсь не замечать роковой греческий глагол ἁμαρτάνω — «промахнуться, совершить непоправимую ошибку». Для меня, Северуса Снейпа, который всю жизнь бежал от своего прошлого и отчаянно хотел казаться своим среди этой элиты, этот глагол стал точкой невозврата.
Мы все тогда хотели прикоснуться к вечности, но вечность просто раздавила нас своим безразличием.- Language:

The Awkwardly Inelegant Misadventures of Amaya Kedves by MehrunesDagonbro
Fandoms: Elder Scrolls, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Summary
When the decrepit Emperor of fairyland started to have weird dreams about you being the Hero destined to “close shut the jaws of Oblivion” (whatever that means) and finding his long-lost bastard son, you know things are going downhill fast. Especially when you've been thrown into a world where literal gates of Hell start opening up.
Between fighting evil cultists and demon lords, questin' for peasants, dodging the law like it’s Les Misérables, and relying on help from a cast of questionable friends—including an inconveniently handsome Nerevarine, the old Eternal Champion (fueled by revenge and sweetrolls), a tax-evading horse, and the only Bosmer in Tamriel who can’t shoot—Amaya is barely keeping up with her quest, let alone her sanity.
All Amaya wants is to survive the next week without being disemboweled, dismembered, or getting stabbed in weird locations. Preferably in that order.
Join our deeply inelegant protagonist on an awkward adventure as she tries to stay alive long enough to save the last heir to the Septim throne. Or at least kiss him. Eventually.
And to think, all of this started because Sheogorath got sick of rebuilding his realm every era.

Summary
Out of all the paths Lila Rossi could have taken in her life, this one was something she could have never expected.
Or was her name Cerise Bianca now? Or was it Adriana Romano? Or was it literally any other name she had taken throughout her life? What Italian name hadn't she taken by this point? What even was her real name...
She made up her first name, Fernanda Ferrari, to escape from it all, to save her sanity, herself.
Then, as the need to maintain her charade grew, she started making up other names, making up a whole pyramid of lies that rose higher than she could have ever predicted. Then, she got good at it.
And now? Now she is doing it because… that's what she's always done, for as long as she could remember.
A retelling of the events of Miraculous Ladybug from Lila's point of view. All the while, the twists and turns of her life exacerbate her mental issues even more, with consequences for both Ladybug and all of Paris.

Persona 5: A Fool Against The World by AuthorWithoutAuthority

Summary
Ren Amamiya was sent to probation for a crime he never committed. While all he wanted to do was to survive his 1 year sentence in Tokyo, he was chosen to do something far greater. Wielding the power of the wildcard, Ren spends his year long journey in Tokyo to change the hearts of villains, while also helping out others, making friends, and falling in love.
My take on a complete retelling of Persona 5 Royal. Highly recommend to finish the game with the true royal ending before reading this, though you won't need to remember everything from the game. There are plenty of canon divergences, but nothing too majorly affecting the plot.
