Dragon Dreaming


I'm male, in my twenties, and a big fan of good stories.

T

The Empire lies broken and diminished, struggling under the heavy yoke of the supremacist Thalmor. The northern province of Skyrim, from whence the founders of the Empire hail, is torn by civil war, as brother fights brother and the Thalmor watch with glee. In these times of chaos, a forgotten threat returns, bearing with it the promise of the end of all things. The world is irrevocably doomed. Sort of.

First and by the Nine I wonder what Pinkie is gonna be like. Also Elder Scrolls are worth more than 2k. Cheap mage librarian orc bastard.

292866 You'll find out in Chapter 2, which is almost complete. Also, thanks for reading!

This story is awesome beyond words :rainbowkiss:

great job, love how things are turning out thus far. Keep goin and stay golden^^

So what is Fluttershy? An alchemist?

I've been waiting for a Skyrim crossover.

This delivers :D

293107 All will be revealed in time. We have plans for them all. Yes.

Thanks for the reads and comments

There are a few Skyrim crossovers around, but I'm glad to see this one is well written and seems to put a different spin on it. I can also recommend The Wind Thief by Cold in Gardez as an excellent Skyrim story.

So if Rainbow is the Dovahkiin, why didn't Alduin recognize that?

293299 Indeed, that one is very well written, and, fortunately for us, completely different from this. I also recommend it!

293403 Rainbow may or may not be the Dragonborn- this story is going to change a lot of things, I'm guessing.

Alduin knows that a Dragonborn is prophesied to defeat him, but he doesn't know their identity. He just assumes it's a he. I'm guessing its one of the mane six, or possible all of them: there is nothing stopping multiple Dragonborn existing in the same era, but it would be highly unlikely. Considering the prologue however, it is clear that some Deity or other, likely one of the Nine, has been messing with reality, fate and the multiverse to pull the mane six out of Equestria and into Nirn, along with humanising them and wiping their memories.

293565 Good point, hope you don't mind if I share my two bits.
I have two main theories on how this story is going to pan out:
The first is that Twilight is the Dovahkiin, seeing as how she has spent so much time with Spike:moustache:, some of his "dragon essence" may have rubbed off on her, causing her to become the Dragonborn when she's teleported to Nirn.
My second theory is that all six are Dragonborns. A somewhat unconventinal idea, but it keeps any member of the team that may form from one uping the others so to speak. But it would open up new roads with all six having their owns strengths added to the blessing of being born with dragonblood flowing through their veins.
One extra theory I have is that the Dovahkiin is Fluttershy, and that should be self explanatory considering the occasional croppings of Dovahshy.

But we just have to wait and see, won't we? It's not hard to imagine the writer thoughtfully scratching his chin as we debate among ourselves about his intentions, laughing quietly at our little game of guessing.
As for the gods of Nirn having any connection to them being transported there, it's a sound theory, but brings up the question of whether more than one was involved, which ones were involved, and what they seek to gain from this. On that note, there could be a new evil greater then Alduin this time around.

This deserves mucho attention. Love it so far, very well written and interesting. Eagerly awaiting the next one. :derpyderp1:

Wait, wait,wait,wait...

I love this story.

Still anticipating the entrance of the other characters however.

Patience, my friend. As co-author, I can tell you that the other characters will be introduced in time, as the story progresses. To me, it was very important that they be given places in the Skyrim world that complimented their personalities. Rest assured, Dragon Dreaming and myself have positioned the remaining characters where they both fit, and can help push the story forward. Thank you for reading our 'little' project! I admit, I let out a not-so-manly squee every time I see a new comment here.:twilightsmile:

Stay Classy!

374176 Welcome to FimFiction, Top Hat. About time you got an account here - now you can answer questions about our story too!

A brilliant story! AJ as the Dovahkiin is a rather interesting choice, considering it was Dash at the gallows. Not too sure as to where Rarity and Fluttershy would be, but if I were to hazard a guess, Twi will be at the Mage Academy at the very least. I can see Rarity in Solitude considering it's the Capital and there is a dressmaker in the city. Shy is a tad hard... Riften is out of the way, but a tad dangerous, Markarth might suit her more but has its own problems. Considering her close to nature... well.. nature... I could probably see her amongst the Orc Camps perhaps.

There is, of course, the idea of her living amongst the Dark Brotherhood or Companions in a 'Where you least expect it' way. Anywho, nice job all around, can;t wait to see more of this and your other story ^^

I wasn't sure if I'd like this at first, but I am completely sold on it now. I'm especially eager to see the other characters crop up. They should make for a formidable party at this rate.

IT'S BACK! FUCK YEAH! YES! HOLY DAMN SHIT, YES!

Also, I know this is set in the Skyrim universe, so they're obviously human, but this still hits large levels of irony: “Wish we had a horse,” she muttered, as they set out. It was going to be a long trek back.

762371 You made me laugh for about three minutes straight. Thank you.

AHHHH, yeesssss. So glad to see this again! Good chapter, the wait for the next is gonna be even tougher!

Also, lol:

“But what about your sister?” Dagny asked. “Wouldn’t they go after her?”
“Daddy owns half the city and likes to make points with fireballs,” Pinkie said.
“Oh.”

You better introduce Twilight soon enough, I WANT MY MAGIC !

I vote that Rarity's in the thieves guild. Gemstone cutie mark! :raritywink:

But the real question is what in Tamriel would ever inspire Twi to leave the College of Winterhold :twilightblush:

Also hoping for a Zecora side story. Yay Redguards!

Also, with mention of Daggerfall court, it gives me the idea that Rarity as a Breton makes sense

interesting. Keep goin and stay golden^^

Very, very well done. Interesting choice for Dragonborn. It fits and doesn't at the same time, curious. And I'm wondering how you're going to introduce Spike; human asstistant to Twilight, dragon hatchling or leave him out altogether?

This is a damn good skyrim fic (that happens to include MLP characters). Really, the way you present the world and combat is better then any elder scrolls fic I've read. The character dialog is smooth and entertaining, You've really meshed it so well into the universe. Really it's only that fact the the equestrian names stand out so much from everything else that's weird... The dynamics between AJ and Dash both in personality and fighting styles made for a strong start and pinkie... Pinkie is Best Khajiit :pinkiehappy: Admittedly I'm biased as Khajiit are my favorite race but it just fits pinkie so well and she's been a huge joy to be added. AJ as the dragonborn was a nice curve-ball with the initial set up but as the story went along it was hard to picture anyone else fitting the shoes, a true daughter of skyrim.

Definitely want to see more and from the hints it looks like little bosmer Fluttershy will be the next to join in the fun, but likely first a short jog up the throat of the world. Definitely looking forward to more. an easy Fav.

Whoa, people still find this? Nice. Keep an eye, here, we've got an editor now and things are getting tweaked.

1575969 Yup, Got it linked from a friend whose a fan of it when we ere exchanging fics we stumbled across. :pinkiehappy: Good to here it's still on track.

So sad this isn't updating anymore. This is perhaps the best Skyrim crossover I've read yet, and definitely hasn't gotten the attention it deserves. :(

773547 spike is paratharax or howerver you spell it at the top of the throught of the world?

I suppose I should give official notice that this fic is on hiatus, if that wasn't painfully obvious already. Life has happened, and both Dragon Dreaming and I have been unable to coordinate a cohesive push to get either the revisions or the next chapter to a publishable state. The fic is not dead, however, as we both have the intent and vision to continue it once we can. Regardless, the timeline for the arrival of the next chapter is TBD at this point in time.

Aw yeah! Pinkie's a Khajiit!

Haven't read but interesting title and I tranlated it too. It says (in case nobody knows what the means) "Little horses in Skyrim." I have to admit that is a smart way to name a story.

Uwaaah, it's back! I didn't know how badly I missed this until just now!

Holy crap... one of my favorite fics on the site got updated. this is a pleasent surprise. Welcome back :yay:

as for the interlude makes sense for Twi to start here and throw herself fully into a major world changing events. If i recall spike is elsewhere(been while since I reread things which is certainly different considering how joined at the hip she and spike are in canon much of the time. should be an interesting meeting. also nice lyra cameo, made me chuckle

and so the story continues proper. Enter fluttershy :yay: kinda.

Nice to see the plot continue it's steady progression, nearly ended by that damn troll. it really is a pain in the ass to fight at that point in the game. especially without fire, so makes sense it would put up a hard struggle for the girls. eitherway the writing continues to be solid and decently paced. I'm very happy to see this update :pinkiehappy:

"and the Thalmor watch with glee..."

Until the Dovakiin helped Ulfric Stormcloak, the best option for Skyrim, take over Skyrim in less than two hours because that's how much of an OG, real Redguard Niggah he is.

Storm Cloak fo' life, mutha fuckah!

I'm not sure who read the word wall, but I know it ain't Pinkie. So far, Rainbow's an Imperial, Applejack's a Nord and Pinkie's a Khajit. I'll bet that Rarity will be an Altmer, Twlight a Breton and Fluttershy's a Bosmer or Argonian.

377508 Wouldn't be surprised that Twilight's at Winterhold.
