Description:

The Guild Master of the Thieves' Guild is sent to be executed at Helgen, for the crimes of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, attempted escape, and assaulting the guard.

When Aerisif awakes in the wagon, she is informed of the death of her love, Brynjolf, who died trying to save her. As it becomes clear she is going to the headsman's block, Aerisif welcomes death.

But a dragon of obsidian denied her release. Instead, she survived the tragedy at Helgen, her Dragonborn spirit having been awoken within her.

Aerisif takes on a new identity, Kjolti, as she is forced to keep living, and struggles with her new responsibilities. Kjolti travels across Skyrim, desperately trying to live up to the legend that has been shoved upon her shoulders. She does not choose the healthiest coping mechanisms.

Notes:

My best attempt at translating into the dragon language, "Broken Daughter of Akatosh". This series is all about my Skyrim OC, Aerisif. She is also known by the name Kjolti Stone-Vein, and will be referred to as either, depending on the stage of her life the fic takes place in.

I don't write her story linearly. I jump around all the damn time, but I will always strive to keep them in order in lists both here and on tumblr.

I'm not sure where the line between canon divergence and an AU is, but here are my major differences from canon. This is not an exhaustive list:
- All of the Thieves Guild Quests take place before Helgen
- Gallus's murder and the events surrounding take place about 2-3 years before LDB arrives in Riften, rather than 25
- Many guild members (Brynjolf, Mercer) are younger in my fic than they appear to be in the game
- Skjor does not die, becomes Harbinger instead
- probably many other things I can't recall right now

Hope you enjoy Aerisif's adventures!
