'I'd Kill For You' vs 'I'd Die For You'

summary: who would fight and who would lay down their life in place of yours? gn reader, no pronouns or y/n used. feat: Brynjolf, Farkas, Cicero, Rune, Mercer, Miraak, Teldryn, Erik warnings: canon typical non-graphic blood/injury/death

Brynjolf would die for you. He can’t bring himself to take a life - Gallus never mixed words when teaching Brynjolf that lesson. But he would gladly die in your place. He begs you to leave him and save yourself, to get as far away as you can before Mercer’s Frenzy spell. His knuckles are white as he struggles to keep the blade pointed away from you despite the magicka taking hold of his mind. "Please, you have to get away. Let me handle this traitor. If there is love for me in your heart then you need to run and not look back."

Farkas would kill for you. He would lay waste to an entire camp if you asked. Silver Hand or run of the mill bandits it makes no difference to Farkas - he’d cut down anyone threatening your life.  "You're not getting away from me that easy. I'm not burying you 'til I drink you under the table one more time."

Cicero would kill for you in a heartbeat. He’s been waiting. Please ask him to kill for you. Daggers are in hand awaiting your word. He’s already mapping out the order in which he’ll take down anyone who looks at you wrong. You are his Listener, after all. It is his duty to keep you safe from harm.  "Loyal Cicero strikes at your command, dearest Listener. Just say the word."

Rune would die for you without thinking. He’d jump in front of the killing blow meant for you. He would let you cry into his armor, would wipe your tears when you demand to know why he would do such a thing. He would tell you that you still have so much work to do, the rest of the Guild relies on you too much to let you die. "The rest of them, they need you. Go on and make me proud, yeah?"

Mercer would begrudgingly kill for you. He’d try to spin it so you don’t think it has anything to do with you but there’s no mistaking it - he saved you. He’d grumble something about you being more useful alive than dead but you both know. Even if he refuses to admit it he’d kill almost anyone to keep you safe.  "Don't let it go to your head. The moment you stop bein' useful I'm tossing you back to the wolves."

Miraak would only die for you. When it comes down to it, when his sole hope for survival is ending your life he can’t bring himself to do it. He lets you kill him because he knows what you mean to the rest of the world. He’s realized that even if his life stretched on for another millennia it would be worthless without you. "I cannot face it without you, Mal Dov. I have wasted enough lifetimes to mourn the one I might have lived with you."

Teldryn would kill for you. The moment he spots you in trouble, surrounded on all sides and outnumbered by bandits all the memories would come flooding back. The grief of losing a close friend and patron. He couldn’t lose you. He’d rush in without a thought, fending off swords and arrows at your side. "Can't have you dying and ruining my fine reputation. I am Morrowind's finest bladesman, you're not dying on my watch."

Erik would die for you. He’d do anything for you. After all you’ve done for him - reigniting his dreams of becoming an adventurer, helping him escape the family farm, seeing the world at his side, he will not allow you to die. Laying in your arms he reminds you that he’s loved every moment spent in your company. "I wanted to grow old with you. I wanted to see everything with you."

Ok but drunk Mercer is so cute 🥰 Are those your headcanons that you had the screenshot of?

Yes I had plans to draw all of them properly!! But then...time got in the way...

But here's a little preview into how it would have been!! I didn't draw Vipir in this case cuz I would rather not visualise that prompt......

TESSDE AU (+ Taliesin) Continuation from this

Allora: *hums as she finishes checking her bag for all her supplies, stowing it on her waist and thigh again and adjusting her newly acquired Thieves Guild gear- including the hood- and smiles at the Thieves Guild members watching her like a hawk* Thanks for the new clothes! They're pretty comfy. Hopefully no one gets the idea to try and steal them off of me again. Who knows what would happen~? Brynjolf: *sitting off to the side, covered in bruises, a burn on his right hand, a broken left wrist, and a split lip as he's tended to by Rune* ... Allora: So! I'm afraid I'm not so well versed in your trade. Mind letting me know the idiots who tried to buy me? Vex: We're not telling you shit. You should honestly be dead for what you did to Brynjolf-! Brynjolf: Easy, lass. Don't get her started again. We got lucky when we caught her off guard. Allora: Aw! He's learning. *gives a fake giggle, holding her head up on the table with a wide smile* The rest of you should too, if you know what's good for you! Sapphire: *rolls her eyes* Yeah, I bet. Look, you don't scare us, so cut the crap. Allora: *pouts* Oh nyo, I'm nyot scawwy to da big bad thieves? Whatever will I do~? Thrynn: *sneers* Mocking us isn't helping get you any answers. Allora: Being nice didn't stop people from trying to murder me, or prevent you from kidnapping me for gold. Piss off. *flips him off* I'd suggest you hurry up before my guards come. I won't be able to stop them. They're quite bloodthirsty. *grins wide* Delvin: *having been silently watching the entire time, noting the smallest trembling in her hands that she's been actively covering up by moving them around a lot* ...They didn't give us a name. Vex: Delvin! Delvin: Hush. She's an important person, and the people said to make sure she's unharmed. We can't do anything; our hands are tied. They failed to alert us what she could do, so they'll be charged regardless. Allora: *sits up straight, recognizing him as a leader of this group* Finally, someone with sense. My name is Allora White, pleasure to meet you. Delvin: Delvin Mallory. Those people who tried to buy you- they didn't have much of a name. Just asked for the Dragonborn, and well. You're the only one we've heard about. Allora: Any descriptions? Pitch in voice, notable ticks, specifications when asking for me other than to not be harmed? Delvin: One female and two men. The men didn't say anything, just stood there. The woman in particular was looking for you. She also made mention of one of the men that follow you around- big one with a tattoo? Allora: Kaidan... Delvin: That's the one. Said he'd come running to find you once she had you. Don't know what love triangle yer in missy, but I think you'll be all right. Allora: ...How much did she pay you? Delvin: A whoppin' one thousand gold. Pretty price on yer head there, lass. Allora: *reaches into her satchel and tosses a bag of gold onto the table* Two thousand, and you keep me informed on when that woman comes back. And you don't tell her anything about Kaidan. Delvin: *arches a brow, looking at the bag. Nods to Tonilia to grab it and look through it* Deal. Pleasure doing business with you. You sure you don't want this line of work? Seems you'd fit in well enough. Allora: *lets out a laugh as she stands from her seat* Oh I'm far too loud. And I'm a good girl. *throws them a smile as she turns away* I'm off to go find my boys. I'll do my best to keep them off your trail, so long as you keep your end of the deal. Wouldn't want your pretty home in ruins, now would we? Delvin: Rune, lead her outside through the back door. *watches them leave, speaking quietly towards Brynjolf* Damn shame she won't come join us, ey? Brynjolf: *sighing as Rune pulls away from fixing a splint over his wrist to race after Allora* Aye. Tried once before. She's firm in her decisions- and her body. Delvin: *shakes his head as he turns away* You can think of nothing else, can you?

Put Your Hands Around My Neck - Make Me Faithful

summary: breeding kink <3 f!reader, no y/n used. feat: Miraak, Farkas, Brynjolf, Erandur, Rune, Arnbjorn warnings: explicit sexual content. minors should not read or interact with this post in any way. breeding kink, explicit mention of pregnancy. a/n: not super proofread/edited. i've been putting too much pressure on myself for everything i post to be perfect and we are trying to make healthy changes. masterlist

Miraak wants an heir. He wants to fuck you over and over until you're carrying the one who will inherit everything he's spent lifetimes building. His manor, his followers, his power - he'll give them every single thing. His eyes roll back when he recounts how perfect your child will be once he's done fucking his cum deep into you. He loves to lay with you after sex, basking in your presence and babbling about what abilities the child will inherit from you both. Miraak's fingers dance over your skin as he daydreams about parenting the first child born to two Dragonborns. "It's all your fault, my love." He murmurs against the shell of your ear. Careful fingers comb hair away from your face when he tucks you close to his chest, that soothing voice lulling you closer to sleep. "I'd never indulged in fantasies of a future before meeting you - not once did I bother to think about leaving a thing for anyone other than myself. This is all your doing."

Farkas has no ulterior motive - he just has a breeding kink. He loves fucking you until his brain shuts off, nothing but pure animalistic urges driving him. His muscles are beyond sore and you're exhausted but he's still rambling about how badly he wants to fuck you full despite the cum running down your thigh. He always takes extra care of you after finishing; strong arms carrying you to a warm bath and sheepishly setting a warm cup of tea near your hand. It's so sweet to watch him fuss over you, sappy words falling from that filthy mouth of his. "Was I too rough with you?" He always asks, plucking the washcloth from you and working soapy water along your back. "I'd let you know if you crossed any boundaries." You remind him, relieved to feel loving kisses along your shoulder.

Brynjolf fantasizes about having a big family - something he hadn't bothered to want until meeting you. For years he brushed off the idea in favor of selflessly devoting himself to the Guild. But when he bends you over the table in your new home he can't avoid it any longer. Your pants are barely tugged out of the way before spit slicked fingers are teasing along your sensitive cunt. He's babbling about what great parents you'll be together while his hips snap against your ass, the sinful combination of his voice and the harsh thrust of his cock enough to leave you speechless. "Bought this big house for what, lass? Fillin' it up with kids?" "Bryn." It's a broken little moan but fuck, just the thought of it drives you mad. Arousal shimmers along every nerve in your body at the depraved way he's fucking you, needy hands grabbing along your armor. "Anythin' you want, love. Say the word 'n I'll give it to you."

Erandur who just gets so caught up in how deeply in love with you he is. He's so wrapped up in his devotion that he cannot shake the thought of creating new life together. You aren't sure he knows what he's saying as he rambles about how he'll take such good care of you, how he wants a baby that's pretty and kind like you, that you'll never lift a finger as long as he's around. He's gripping your hips, thrusts long and slow to drag out every delicious sensation he sends through your body. When you're both finished he settles between your legs, gentle kisses pressed to your stomach and thighs. There's a flush from his cheeks to the tips of his ears as Erandur murmurs words of adoration into your skin.

Rune never felt any particular way toward being a parent until he realizes what it truly means - that it will be you at his side. He cannot shake the thought of making you a parent, of you being the one to carry his child. He'd felt lukewarm on the thought of a family but one idea lingers - he may not know his past but a positive legacy is something he can achieve. He can take all the hurt and confusion he's lived with and pour it into loving your children. "Last time I asked you weren't certain." You remind him, struggling to keep your voice even. Rune groans into your cunt, his eyes closed in absolute bliss when he finally takes a breath. "It's you." He gulps, clambering up until you're face to face. Stars burst behind your eyes when his cock slides into you, each movement slow and careful. "Want to be a dad." He pants the words into your sweaty skin. "Wanna do better for our kids - wanna do everything with you."

Arnbjorn often catches himself fantasizing but always comes to his senses before it's too late. When his cum spills across your stomach and your thighs tighten around his waist he fights to rid himself of those damning fantasies - cumming deep in you until he fucks you full, muttering the filthy thoughts he keeps deep inside into your ear. But when he's balls deep and you're whimpering under him all he can think about is how badly he wants to fold your legs up to your chest and fuck you until his cum spills down to the mattress. Often you will gaze up at him, face all flushed and hair a mess over his pillow, and Arnbjorn is terrified that you somehow know what lurks within his mind. He knows better than to say something in the heat of the moment he cannot truly offer you, something he will never be ready for. He loves you enough to grit his teeth and give you a steady hand to hold while you sigh dreamily about taking a warm bath together.

Rune: I know you're deflecting by making jokes about how hot you are- Brynjolf, sobbing: It's not a joke I'm a legit snack!

TESSDE AU (+ Taliesin) Continuation of this

Allora chats with Rune as they make their way through the cistern and towards the back exit; he quietly listens to her, confused why she was being so nice.

Allora: -so I ordered an entire two plates for myself and Inigo bought two for himself, and I'm pretty sure we nearly died or saw some god by the end of it. Rune: *chuckling quietly* Interesting habits. You didn't get kicked out? Allora: Oh no, I had told Corpulus what our goal was. He agreed to it. We even managed to start a betting ring- though I think that was Taliesin's idea. We tied, but we still made a pretty penny off of it. Rune: Hm. Will have to try that if the Guild never works out. Allora: About that- and I'm not judging, so feel free to tell me to fuck off if you don't feel comfortable answering- what made you want to join? Rune: Was brought up by a poor family, so I had to learn how to steal if I wanted to make ends meet. Brynjolf was the one who caught me trying to pick his pocket in the market. If he was anyone else, I would have gotten away with it. Allora: *nods* I understand. I grew up pretty dirt poor too. I didn't intentionally steal- my memory was really bad as a kid, so I accidentally 'stole' some stuff without realizing- and my mother pretty much curbed that immediately when she found out. But like I said, I don't judge. I just hope you don't get hurt from doing it. Rune: Injuries only happen when you either don't have information on the situation, or you were careless. I'll be all right. Allora: *huffs* Just don't learn from that Brynjolf character and I think you'll be fine. Rune: *chuckles at her disgruntled expression, pausing as they hear loud booming footsteps encroaching through the hallway leading to the Rataways* Huh?... Get behind me. Allora: *is surprised as Rune steps in front of her and takes out a Daedric blade* What-? The two flinch as a boot crashes into the door way and sends it flying into the cistern not more than a foot away from hitting them. Kaidan and Taliesin- both covered in light splashes of blood- stalk through the doorway with matching fiery glints in their eyes. Kaidan: Where. Is. She? Allora: I'm right here! *she moves out from behind Rune, pausing as he holds her bicep to keep her from continuing forward* Rune? Rune: These are the men you're with? Allora: They're my bodyguards. It's okay. *pats his hand reassuringly before looking to her boys and frowning at their cold expressions* Hey. Easy. I'm okay. Taliesin: And how should we know you're really our Allora? Allora: Piper, I know I'm in new gear, but please. I'm not that weird looking, am I? Kaidan: *cocks an eyebrow at Taliesin* 'Piper'? Taliesin: You of all people do not get to call me that, Kaidan. *coughs into his hand before sighing* I suppose that is sufficient enough for myself. You are certain you're all right? Allora: *gently pries Rune off of her arm and runs over to him, hugging him tightly* I'm good. Let's go. Please? Kaidan: Aye. Taliesin, you want your turn with 'em first? Allora: No. No fighting, no bloodshed. We made a deal. Now, the both of you, take me back to Keerava. I'm sure she's worried sick. *forcefully dragging them away giving a smile back at Rune* See you around! Rune: *waving to her slowly in confusion* ...Weird girl. [Next one here]
