#but I decided to stick with the Apocrypha thing to better show the conflict here

There is always something in the way I want to have you to myself for once Follow me between the jaws of fate So I can have you to myself for once

So let's get swallowed whole I want to go where nobody else will ever go

------------------------------------------------------

Okay, so- Vore by Sleep Token is a perfect Miraak x Last Dragonborn song. Specifically the themes of desperation to defy fate, being stuck in pain, and yes- even the whole swallowing your lover thing. Delphine specifically uses the word devour to describe absorbing the souls of dragons, and so ultimately it is destiny that one of these Dragonborns will consume the other.

In my AU there are actually three Dragonborns, and one of them is Erato, a Bosmer formerly known as the Hero of Kvatch. Of the three, Miraak becomes particularly fascinated in her, and this grows into an attachment and eventually even an infatuation. However, Hermaeus Mora reveals to him that he only needs one Dragonborn servant, and Miraak realizes that even in a scenario where she alone lives, she would just take his place as prisoner.

He finds that he's only left with two choices if he wants to stop that from happening. Either he can indeed kill all three Dragonborns and escape as he so desired... Or, he can spite his master one last time and ensure the "false" Dragonborn he came to care about so much has the help needed to avoid his torment...

Will we remain stuck in the throat of gods? Will the pain stop if we go deeper?

"Do you ever wonder if it hurts? To have one's soul ripped out like that?"
