Bones, Ash, and an Empty Mask by The_Captain
Fandoms: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Elder Scrolls
23 Jan 2023

Summary
Mera’s never liked dragon priest masks. They’re unsettling. They cling to the power of their former masters, humming with a magic that numbs her fingers when she touches them. She doesn’t like the way they call to her, silent and wordless with an unknowable yearning to be worn. To be used. That kind of power sings to her dragon’s soul, calls it to action in a way she knows now to be wary of.
She should have known Miraak's wouldn't be any different.
Or: An AU I've been playing with where Miraak becomes his mask and anyone who wears it risks being taken over by him (think like Majora's Mask or Doctor Fate). I don't know where this is going, but I guess we'll see!

Summary
It isn't fair of the Divines to put this on her, a Nord with no past and no memory. She tried, gods did she try, to be just what the people of Skyrim needed - a hero who would push back the threat of dragons - but this talk of prophecy and of the end times has her scared. So, when it comes time for her to ask the Greybeards if they know what shout was used to defeat Alduin, Mera doesn't. Instead, she runs. Runs past Ivarstead and into Riften where she hopes she can keep herself together for long enough for the whole thing to blow over. No matter how guilty she might feel.

Mera is gone.
Thinking her dead, her allies struggle to keep their footing as the world crumbles around them, leaving Mera to find her way out of Hermaeus Mora's grasp.

Summary
If there was anything that Alinair learned during his time in Skyrim, it was that Nords were absolutely ridiculous. And he really meant that. They could say whatever they wanted about him and other Bosmers, but at least he had the common sense not to go traipsing around in the snow and ice looking for some damned barrow that may or may not have held glory and riches. All this to prove himself to the Companions. Bah.
Nords have a natural resistance to the cold. Bosmer do not.
