wow just wow. this chapter was amazing. you deserve your hard earned rest my friend. just dont forget about us :P. i really hope the dragonborn did not do what nocturnal tried to do in eso. that would be really bad.

Oh jeez what's she gone and done now.

Incredible work! The fight scene with Harkon was incredibly well done (especially the Trap!), and I commend you on holding onto Dragon Aspect for so long (As well as replaced "Wyrm" with "God" for the final Word!). This chapter was everything I expected and more, you did great justice portraying the emotional states of the Vampires given that we'd skipped their initial introductions.

10/10 will read again -

Its official, Shadowmare is the official cock blocker in this fic XD

I remember I started reading this when it was probably only a few chapters in, I was on my first year of high school and absolutely floored with you’re writing, and I still am now that I’m in college. This was easily my favorite story I’d ever found on ff, and although I lost access to my account here forever ago I ended up coming back every year or two to reread it and see what you’d added. This might be sort of cheesy to say, but it really was a story that stuck with me and something would remind me of it and I’d be back here reading chapters I’d already gone over two or three times so I didn’t miss anything when new ones were posted. Your characters are amazing in how much they’ve grown and developed throughout the story, everything is believable even when lore needs to be reinterpreted, and I’ve been in awe for years now that you’ve managed to keep writing something this huge for so long. Thank you so much for all the effort put into keeping it alive, I can’t wait to read what comes next :)

Ooooooooo my Jesus no no no no no

HELLO BEAST AGAIN!

Oh my god!

I can’t atop reading this! I am neglecting everything to read this!

It’s so amazing!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I haven't read anything in ff for like... Two, three years. I came back to my account only to find that your story, the one I most enjoyed out of my favs, is alive and well.

No words to describe how happy. Yes, I think you should make an alternate chapter where angst is no more. But at the end of the day, I want to see your masterful Muse summon up the last few chapters of this story... One that I will now await eagerly.

Thank you for continuing, I hope you are doing well.

Omg.. so I just found this a couple days ago... it’s flipping amazing! The lore! The attention to details! My gods I love it! I can’t wait to keep reading on this!

Re-reading this whole thing for the fourth time because I just love it all so much!

Oh yeah, one more thing. I don't suppose you're considering starting Imprint back up anytime soon? I really liked that story and would love to see it continued. Plus, on your profile you said you would keep working on it, though so far I haven't seen much. Not attempting to cause any offence, I'm just being honest. I don't blame you for not writing the story if you've lost interest in it, I've been there before, but I'd like to know your current stance on it if you're willing to share.

I very, very, VERY much doubt that your account would be placed in any sort of trouble for doing a chapter of smut. There are plenty of stories on this site SOLELY dedicated to smut. Some of which are years old and with a considerable following. The first that comes to mind would be Heated Excitement, a RWBY smut story that was started back in 2013 (a little over a year after this story was posted) and has nearly as many favs and & follows as Dragonrend. 1,713 and 1,709 respectivly, to be precise. Despite all of its 40 chapters focusing on nothing but descriptive sex, it still hasn't been taken down nor has the creator been punished in any way. So again, I highly doubt you'll get into any form of trouble. And if you're really that worried about it, then just post any smut on a seperate one-shot story. That way if it SOMEHOW managed to get found by the people who run FF, they'd just deal with that story and leave Dragonrend alone. I can say with absolute certainty that your account and stories would be unaffected by just one of your stories, since it would be beyond ridiculous for them to affect all your years of hard work for a single seperate story.

In the event you haven't gathered it from the above messge, I would really like to see some smut between the two before this story reaches its conclusion. Just one chapter detailing everyone's favourite two characters giving themselves entirely to one another in a night of true love and passion. Now something like THAT, would make this the absolutely perfect romance story, and even better then it already is. I especially think that we all deserve such a chapter, considering all the teasing you've forced on us in previous chapters. But ultimately the choice is yours, and it always will be. I've given you my opinion, told you what I'd like to see, and I hope you're willing to at least consider it. If you choose not to, I will be disappointed but will continue to read on. It'll take more then your denial to get me off this story. Good luck and have fun on the next chapter. I await it eagerly.

Been reading this fic for a long time; I’m gathering from your comments it’s almost over. I’m gonna miss it. I’m also gonna be sad if there isn’t some sweet sweet dragon lurve that even Sanguine would be jelly of. If is too uptight for that, you could always move to ao3...XD

Bryn and Alduin at again~ Those two have probably the most hostile relationship I've ever seen of two people that aren't actually enemies xD

I think what I've enjoyed most about your writing is the surprising amount of detail and flair you add to each and every action/fight scene. I usually skip completely over those parts with other FF writers, but you consistently manage to make them extremely vivid.

Amazing work 3

I remember starting to read this really early back when there was only 5-7 chapters and read up to about 26 chapters. I then got really busy and wasn’t able to keep on reading. It’s really good to see that it kept on going. Kinda thought there would be around a hundred by now. But considering the amount of detail and effort clearly put in to each chapter 70 is still really impressive. I’m gonna have to reread everything and catch up. Not sure how long it’s gonna take. But I’m really excited to continue reading this amazing story. Keep up the good work.

Boy oh boy, this just keeps getting more and more interesting. Every time I read a chapter of this fic, it makes me want to play Skyrim again. Myrielle, you do such a great job at expanding upon the possibilities. If the events of the game weren’t constrained to the limitations of video game media, I truly feel like these would be possible occurrences in the elder scrolls universe.

A YouTuber, MrRhexx, discussed the topic in detail a long time ago, but it’s pretty easily accepted that, not all the quests in skyrim were carried out by the same person according to canon. After all, it would be strange for the dark and murderous Listener to be the same person as the heroic Harbinger. The games are played from the same person’s perspective, but the lore books in the next game will more or less imply the the Arch Mage and the Nightingale were different people. It also seems that the only quests which the Dragonborn was canonically a part of were the ones which directly refer to the player as “Dragonborn” as part of the quest. That only really includes the main quests and the civil war (even in Dawnguard, there is a whole set of dialogue where Durnehviir recognizes you as Dovakiin).

Your fic throws that little rule on its head and instead asks, “What if the Dragonborn DID get involved with the other events throughout the game?” After all, if the Dragonborn really did become the Listener, Sithis would want to bolster his favor with her by teaching her powers that none of his previous followers could hope to learn.
When you take the places and people out of the computer-generated video game and write them as real, living, thinking, dynamic individuals it only makes sense that this change to the canon fits so perfectly.

I just love the way you let your thoughts out into the story. It doesn’t feel like you are writing in a straight line towards the finale like so many authors get trapped into doing. Instead it feels like the story just keeps writing itself based on events which occurred in the first chapter. Instead of the characters just reacting to sudden events as they pop up, it feels like the events perpetuate each other, naturally leading to their own natural climax. It feels good to read something in which every sentence is thought out with as much scrutiny as the last, instead of an entire story being written straight to the same ending as it foreshadows at the beginning.

You are doing great Myrielle, there is no need to rush yourself because that ending isn’t going anywhere. It’ll still be there no matter how long it takes for you to catch it. :)
