Summary
You (Explorer #61) get pinned down by mimics in the bed of a pickup truck. There are six mimics and five more bullets. Did I mention your aim is ass?
EXCERPT:
And you would think 7.62x39 turning your shoulder blade into a fucking spiderweb would hurt, maybe---you would think it would at least be palpable. But there’s nothing palpable about this, because that little part of you, the part that still thinks you can die, just pumped you full of adrenaline, that crazy bastard. You aren’t allowed to feel pain anymore, 61, you can’t feel anything anymore. And your left arm is fucked up now, too. It’s just a limp dangling parasite off your torso.
You missed the shot, by the way. One more bullet now, good luck.

Summary
[SPOILERS FOR THE MANDOLORIAN AND GROGU.]
---
NAL HUTTA - Shockwaves continue to spread across the Outer Rim and Hutt Space following the devastating skystrike on the Hutt palace at Bilbousa, Nal Hutta.
The strike, carried out by manned New Republic attack craft, reportedly targeted senior members of the Hutt Clan during what officials are privately calling an “emergency extraction operation” involving an independent contractor known as “The Mandolorian”.

I know a lot of people saw the Phantom Menace and were like "wow, why so much politics? This is boring." Well, now we know what a Star Wars movie looks like when you throw politics out the window for spectacle. Are you seriously telling me the Republic can get away with pulling a Daddy Donald on Nal Hutta? The movie treats it like a triumphant "the cavalry has arrived" moment when in reality it is the most braindead diplomatic decision I've ever seen. All because Filoni wanted the movie to end on a big explosion.
What follows is a strongly-worded condemnation, UN style, on the HoloNet. Enjoy.

Summary
Part of the fifth annual Morrowind Writing Competition organized by the Morrowind Writer's guild.
A tax-dodging, mildly in-the-closet Telvanni wizard who definitely does [NOT] have a thing for his Argonian apprentice decides nowhere on Mundus is safe from the Bureau of Census and Excise and their taxes. Where else to go but Oblivion?
Something goes wrong during the ritual, and he ends up on the Lunar Province of Tatterdemalion, the nomadic, stranded Megalomoth vessel-fortress that still thinks it's the first era, and that they are subjects of the Reman Empire. He must learn their customs, teach them what's happened since they landed, and uncover the mystery of how a city never meant to be self-sufficient has survived a thousand years without contact.
**This fic is best enjoyed by someone embarrassingly well-versed in metaphysics and lore.** -

Summary
The Citadel has collapsed. Overwatch is offline. Scalpel 2-4, a transhuman sniper, is left stranded after the death of his spotter. While maintaining his post, he encounters Jury 1-5, an officer of Civil Protection who has lost his squad. With communications completely severed and surrounded by the Resistance on all sides, Scalpel begrudgingly takes him on as the newest member of his squad.
Jury's got big shoes to fill, and very small feet.

This originally started as just a chatfic but, as usual, I got very ambitious. Thankfully I didn't turn a one-chapter story into four like my, erm, other ongoing work (I swear I'm still working on it). If you like how the Combine speak, you'll like this fic.

Summary
Just a quick oneshot written in response to the "Airships!" prompt, by Alice of the Morrowind Writer's Guild.
I was compelled by the little hints of plot the Patchwork Airship quest from Bloodmoon gives you, and decided to make that a story. It's mostly true to what is said in the Journal.
An Altmer navigator on the patchwork airship develops a fondness for an Argonian who is deathly afraid of heights. Things go quite literally south when he tries to get his friend to face his fear.
You'll notice I tagged Yaoi, but that's not really here. There's a bit of a m/m crush thing but it never amounts to anything (except Praxinus repressing his sexuality even more than before).

A.k.a. How To Not Kill Any Redoran Councillors, despite Athyn Sarethi's murderous intentions.
Which was truly none of your fault, spell misfiring included—assassins lying in wait surely count as extenuating circumstances. Just leave some scrolls for later.With love from TES3MP jank, for April Fools.

Summary
Let's get something straight before we begin: almost everything you have ever heard about the missing Count of Anvil is a lie. Most likely you believe I spent the final decade of the Third Era shacked up with a mistress and a litter of children wherever it is that faithless Colovian men go to hide from their heartbroken Colovian wives, but the truth is rarely that simple.
This story is the truth. Sort of.

How to Disappear Completely by tarhiel

Summary
A Morrowind story about visibility.
Iriel is a young, bitterly disillusioned Altmer scholar, struggling from one disaster to the next, never quite sure which is his worst enemy in life: the inadvisable men he keeps falling for, his own traumatised brain, or the universe in general. Or perhaps people in general. Things are so much easier when he's invisible to everyone, but it isn't a permanent solution to his problems. Is it? Is anything?
Includes wild headcanoneering of various NPCs and content from the Julan Ashlander companion mod by kateri.
