Serana
Also known as: Serana Volkihar, Daughter of Coldharbour
Ancient vampire princess sealed away for millennia to keep her tyrant father Harkon from fulfilling a prophecy, and Skyrim's most beloved companion. Fans have spent a decade writing the romance Bethesda never let them have.
Other Skyrim Characters
Lucien Lachance
2k works
The silken-voiced Speaker of Oblivion's Dark Brotherhood, who recruits the Hero of Kvatch into a family of assassins and dies horribly for their sins. Lucien's gothic charisma made him an enduring romantic fixation across two decades of fic.
Miraak
1k works
The First Dragonborn, a dragon priest who betrayed his masters and spent millennia scheming in Hermaeus Mora's library-realm of Apocrypha. Fic loves sparing Miraak so the only two Dragonborn in existence can argue, ally, and fall for each other.
Brynjolf
1k works
The smooth-talking second of Riften's Thieves Guild, forever sizing up strangers in the marketplace with 'never done an honest day's work.' Brynjolf is one of Skyrim's most-requested unromanceable NPCs, so fic happily fixes that.
