Please post links to fanfic, or post your own fanfiction here. Try to restrict it to only fanfic that relates to the mad god please.

I came up with this little drabble after wondering at the correlation between a quote from the Madgod and a certain Daedric Artifact.
Involved in the daggerfall 'Hunt' quest was a certain type of Daedra, namely a Mazken. It would just make sense for Sheogorath to snatch away a prize from Dagon at any chance...
Bitter Mercy
He said she had no name but 'Prey', and then said only: "Run."
The Innocent Hare fled across the desolate wasteland, pursued over the rocky ground by things that slavered and mocked. Her sides heaved with exertion, her torn feet bled. Ripped from mundus and tossed into hell, she knew she was going to die.
Trapped on a ledge overlooking a sea of molten rock she gazed at the so called 'hounds' that stared back at her with mirthful glowing eyes. The daedric creatures smirked at one another and then threw their collective heads back and howled.
Long minutes seemed stretched into hours as she curled her fists in the dirt, eyes flicking back and forth between twisted faces and feral grins.
Then the ranks parted to reveal her death made manifest, a spear gleaming in his fist and a malicious smile upon his lips. With a bored and lazy swing, the silver blade bit into her side. Her blood pooled around her to the toll of a wicked bell...
___
She woke to darkness, a clock ticking away in the distance. An odd looking man stepped to her side and offered her his hand. An elder statesman with penchant for purple, he smiled with sharp white teeth glimmering from behind a neatly trimmed beard. But his eyes held a demonic golden light.
He tilted his head to the side, his smile turning shrewd. She kept her hands tight to her chest. He knelt and touched her cheek. Power flowed from his fingertips and seeped into her, bubbling golden in her veins. She clutched at his hand and his smile returned.
"Always mine in the end little hare, it's as I've said before a bitter mercy perhaps, but mercy nonetheless."

Oh, lovely. I hate to be a lore nitpicker, but I thought the Hunt was one of Hircine's rituals not Dagon's? Don't freak out, I'm not even entirely sure. There was a discussion about it at The Library a while back, and I can't remember all of it. If you're interested I can go dig up the info... Well no, I'm going to anyway, but if you're interested I'll share what I find.
As far as fics go.. I started one. It's really cheese-tastic, but when I was playing through oblivion my character started screaming out a story in my head. I haven't gotten very far into writing it, and haven't written any in it for something like a year.
MAJOR SPOILERS highlight to read
The plot was: She fell in love with Martin, and when he died she couldn't figure out how to live a life that didn't involve being a Blade without an emperor. She tried, it didn't work out so well. She ends up making a deal with good old Sheggy, so that she forgets it all.
She of course forgets to specify exactly what she's giving in return, I think she's even so distraught as to use the words "anything, if you can make it go away." So, faced with the honor of claiming the soul and mind of the current Era's (second) greatest hero, Sheggy of course takes full advantage.
I divided it into two parts, the main character's descent into madness, and the aftermath when she's (sortof) regaining her sanity. Descent, is rather dark, gritty, and definitely rated over pg 16 overall. The other one is a little less dark, and much more heroic.. Maybe I'll start working on them again.

For some reason I thought that Dagon had the spear at one point, either way Sheogorath just loves to yank his 'siblings' chains at any chance for any reason. I would LOVE to read that fic if you get around to writing it, and I'm open to beta'ing if you need it. I'm doing a beta of a Dark Brotherhood fic on ff.net right now! Which I highly recommend. It was such a good story and is already complete, however the author is French. English is so not their first language. I was so impressed with the storyline though, that I offered to beta it and just started today. It's called Death's Servant by L'ankou if you are interested.

I've got a couple chapters of my less sqicky fic up on ff.net. It's called Return From Grief.

I'm not certain if this is fanfiction OF Sheogorath or not, but it is certainly inspired by the god of madness, and he is invoked in the poem.
If you don't catch it, it's a parody of William Carlos William's "This is just to say."
I am eating
the socks
that were in
your dresser
and which you were probably
saving
for a cold winter day.
Sheogorath made me do it,
they taste awful
so fuzzy
and so warm.
(Would you like some plums?)
