Petra is the [[TheChosenOne Dragonborn]] of the new age. However she was deeply traumatized by the events at Helgen and at the Western Watchtower which nearly got her killed and wants nothing to do with the Dragons. She flees to Riften and is recruited by Brynjolf to become a thief and to help get the Thieves Guild back on it's feet. Petra's a stubborn nord who grows to be a skilled thief and Brynjolf becomes fascinated with her and tries to bring her out of her shell. He discovers her secret and his attempts to help her out are called out to be just as stubborn. The two grow closer as they work through her [[FatalFlaw phobia]] togethers and shows that [[FaceYourFears outgrowing it isn't going to be easy.]]
It follows the Thieves Guild story line with slight diversions, throwing it in a few [[PlotTwist twists]] here and there and developing into an original storyline with bits and pieces of other Questlines, including the main quest, from the original game thrown in and bits of creativity within the Elder Scrolls lore. Each chapter is in POV's of mainly Petra and Brynjolf, but occasionally have another side character narrate a chapter or two. They mostly have philosophical discussions regarding life the nature of [[ContemplateOurNavels being, religion and existence]], thrown in with drama, action, tragedy, love, madness, magic and wonder.

The Sequel, [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/14775620/chapters/34172861 Chronophobia]] based on Sotrahkun's [[spoiler: CosmicRetcon]] that details Petra's new life in the Companions, but far more zany nonsense than ever before. Less angsty, more strange.
The author has confirmed it is in the same verse as [[{{Fanfic/Portalborn}} Portalborn]] as part of the Realmverse.

!! This Series provides examples of:
[[folder: Whole Series]]
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Petra doesn't necessarily have darker hair, she's described as having light-brown, but her nature originally falls underneath this trope.

** [[spoiler:Realm-Walker, or Diga Arch-Fire, is another Dragonborn from another time line.]]

* BattleCouple: Petra and Brynjolf become this.
* CameBackWrong: Once per fic. In Drakonophobia, [[spoiler: Petra]] feels this way after they'd come back from the Soul Cairn, which normally doesn't happen.
* In Chronophobia, Brynjolf worries Petra's changed too much for him to handle, after everything's that happened. She alleviates his fears soon enough.
* IfItsYouItsOkay: Brynjolf has to remind Petra he doesn't care what she becomes, whether it be Dragonborn, [[spoiler: Vampire]] or [[spoiler: An actual dragon.]] he'll always love her.* IfItsYouItsOkay: Brynjolf has to remind Petra he doesn't care what she becomes, whether it be Dragonborn, [[spoiler: Vampire]] or [[spoiler: An actual dragon.]] he'll always love her.
** Petra brings this back in Chronophobia when the pair of them are in another dimension, where they've become [[spoiler: FunnyAnimals.]]
-->'''Petra''' "I know you once said you'd love me despite what form I would take and I couldn't get that into my head hard enough and you knew that. You mentioned it enough but my mind wouldn't accept it."
* MysticalWhiteHair: Several characters have this. Notably, Ayisha, the Realm-Walker and the Regkosot which symbolizes their magical natures.
* SplitPersonality: Petra originally comes off as just a stubborn {{Tsundere}} but can split into her Dragon-Self which turns her into TheBerserker complete with BerserkerTears.
** Chronophobia has her dealing with her current mindset remembering everything from [[spoiler: the old timeline.]] that she calls this entity, Thief Petra.
* WhamEpisode: Chapter 19 at Snow Veil Sanctum. You know what happens there when you do the Thieves Guild Quests, but you don't know that [[spoiler: Mercer is actually a Vampire Lord and rapes Petra.]]

[[/folder]]
!! Drakonophobia provides examples of:
[[folder: A-C]]
* AbusiveParents: There are hints that Prolg was this to Brynjolf.
* {{Adorkable}}: Funnily enough, it's [[spoiler: Brynjolf at first when it came to sex.]] He is a bit of a flirt in reality, but never has actually been with anyone and therefore was careful and concerned [[spoiler: when he sleeps with Petra in Chapter 40, especially with all the crap that happened with Mercer, but she assures him that [[IfItsYouItsOkay it's okay.]] While played for laughs [[spoiler: It's described he was a virgin was because of his fathers words.]]
%%* TheAgeless: [[spoiler:The Nerevarine.]]
* TheAlcoholic: [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind The Nerevarine]]]] its explained being immortal isn't what it's all cracked up to be, when you're losing family and friends in the blink of an eye, so he turns to drink.
* AllGirlsLovePonies: Petra prefers the company of her horse Cody than she does people. Helps he's pretty intelligent and loyal.
* AfterActionPatchUp: Characters are bleeding and we read that they're stitched up, with Petra after Brynjolf finds her on the ground knocked out in the wilds of the Rift and several times in other chapters. It draws them closer to one another.
* AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome: Several pop up, such as the Amulet of Talos, Amulet of Mara, Amulet of Akatosh, Amulet of Articulation and [[spoiler: the Amulet of Kings.]]
** The Amulet of Talos represents Brynjolf's history as his father was a former Priest of Talos. [[spoiler: Symbolism is higher when it's found that Bryn is a descendant of Talos.]]
** Amulet of Mara is minor, but Brynjolf uses it to propose to Petra of course.
** Amulet of Akatosh has the unique ability to [[spoiler: give temporary flesh to aedric dragon souls, as it did for Petra when she was stuck in the Soul Cairn.]]
** Amulet of [[spoiler: Kings]] is rather ambiguous in it's purpose at first, given that it was originally broken then seemingly repaired when Petra had gone to the Dreamsleeve and finally used to [[spoiler: Summon a whole bunch of other dragonborn from other timelines to defeat each alternate Alduin.]]
* AngerBornOfWorry. Brynjolf snaps it at Petra when [[spoiler: She tries to kill herself.]]
* AntiHero: Petra and Brynjolf are thieves so it's not like they're revered as heroes themselves but they are definitely well liked as peers. They'd rather not get into the hero side of things and have expressed many times the desire to return back to work. Nonetheless, this doesn't happen.
* AntiMagic: Revealed to be one of Ayisha's abilties.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: The Regkosot is the Avatar for Sotrahkun, shown as a Woman in White.
* ApocalypseHow: Alduin wants to enact a Class Z.
* ArcWords:
** "Thank you." Or some variation of it is said at the end of each Chapter.
** "You have to do what you hate in order to survive". Petra's father's words. [[spoiler:They become Petra's own words when at one point she's been told she can die in order to save the world. However, she doesn't want to die, uses the quote and attempts to [[DrivenToSuicide throw herself off]] the Throat of the world.]] Luckily, [[spoiler:Brynjolf saves her in time and gets pissed about it]].
** Follow orders to survive is another one that pops up.
* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: This is Alduin's goal for [[spoiler:Petra]] in order to fight them on equal ground. Apparently this happens in [[spoiler:Chapter 96]] where they enter the gates of the Dreamsleeve and seemingly go through the process of transforming them [[spoiler:into a God.]] However nothing is seen of them after that, making people question where they actually went. It's revealed in Chapter 105 that [[spoiler:Petra became Sotrahkun.]]
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Delvin and Vex. They grew closer after time and heavily implied they did more during the party in Chapter 78 [[spoiler:Which makes their deaths in Chapter 82 much more tragic.]]
* BarrierWarrior:
** Ayisha, more notable with her older self as she casts wards.
** The High Elf Servant of the Realm-Walker [[spoiler:Wheatley]] can conjure relatively strong wards that can contain powerful spirits.
* BecauseImGoodAtIt: Petra's approach to Thieves Guild work.
* BerserkButton: While Petra's phobia was in place each time she fought a dragon, it was found if Brynjolf was hurt or threatened in anyway, that she would tap into her dragon self, leaving her filled with nothing but rage and hate that superseded the fear that was there and has decimated several dragons this way. Once the dragon was dead, she'd become a complete wreck and beside herself.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Petra yet again. She doesn't talk much at first, but she's not afraid to fight back (Unless its Dragons.)
%%* BigBad: Alduin.
%%* BigGood: Sotrahkun.
* BigScrewedUpFamily:
** Brynjolf's family is a mess. His father was abusive former Priest of Talos, forcing him to join the Thieves Guild, his mother is insane and needs constant care [[spoiler: Up until she get's better.]] It gets worse when Brynjolf discovers [[spoiler: He's a descendant of the Grand Master Priest Zoklotinhaar, who he then shares a body with and is constantly possessed by him, and also a descendant of Talos.]] Oh and [[spoiler: He finds out Prolg isn't his father, Mercer is. The same Mercer who raped his mother and raped his girlfriend and turned her into a vampire.]]
** The whole of Dragonkind is this. There's the [[MissingMom missing dad]] Akatosh, Dragon God of Time, Sotrahkun, the dying Mother of the Dragons and their children, the Dovah. Alduin, the eldest is the most screwed up and outright attempts to kill his own mother. He's also the reason why he and the other dragons are so destructive, by using the Divine Elder Scroll to give them more power.
* BlackEyesOfEvil: When Zoklotinhaar possesses [[spoiler:Brynjolf.]]
* BodyHorror:
** Becoming a Vampire Lord naturally.
** When Petra fights a whole bunch of dragons in the [[spoiler:Shivering Isles]] and in the Laaglein, she receives scars on her face that are actually tears that threaten to get worse due the overload of dragon souls she consumes. They originally glow, then fade in. It gives her quite the menacing appearance.
%%* BrokenBird: Petra.
* BrokenPedestal: When Brynjolf discovers Mercer's betrayal, he's in a state of disbelief until Petra convinces him otherwise. [[spoiler: It hurts him further once he discovers Mercer is his father.]]
* ButtMonkey: PETRA. Girl can simply not catch a break. They often call her Petra, Doom-Driven.
* CannotSpitItOut: Brynjolf tries several times but keeps getting interrupted or it's just not the right time. Eventually, he does spit it out. [[spoiler: While he and Petra having sex for the first time.]] which in turn, allows Petra to admit her own feelings.
* CatsAreMagic: Ayisha is a Khajiit Priestess who is also the Mane of her people.
* CastFromHitPoints: This is how [[spoiler: The Realm-Walker dies]], giving all their magicka to Young! Ayisha as she tried to close the last Tear. While Ayisha is [[ChildProdigy a skilled mage]], she doesn't have a large reserve of magicka due to her age.
%%* CessationOfExistence: Alduin's goal.
* CheerfulChild: Ayisha is considered a Khajiit child who loves her surrogate mother and father.
* ChekhovsGun:
** The Ring of Verity and the Ring of Khajiiti
** The Divine Elder Scroll
** Brynjolfs dwemer blade.
** The broken red amulet that's given from [[spoiler:Sheogorath]] to Brynjolf to give to Petra. [[spoiler:Revealed to be the [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Amulet of Kings.]]]]
%%* ChekhovsGunman: Petra's Horse Cody.
* ChildByRape: [[spoiler:Prolg hints Mercer had his way with Nemetona, impregnating her, resulting in Brynjolf being born.]]
* TheChosenMany:
** This fic has the Dragonborn, the Mane of the Khajiit, a descendant of Talos and the Nerevarine, as well as [[spoiler:the former Champion of Cyrodiil come Daedric Prince Sheogorath.]]
** Sotrahkun and Brynjolf enact a ritual that [[spoiler:summons Dragonborn from alternate timelines courtesy of the Amulet of Kings]].
* TheChosenOne:
** Petra is Dragonborn but also, [[spoiler: The descendant of the Champion of Cyrodiil, and by proxy related to Sheogorath.]]
** Brynjolf is a Master Thief. [[spoiler: He's also a descendant of Tiber Septim and Zoklotinhaar, the Grand Dragon Priest who's soul resides inside him.]]
** Ayisha is a Khajiit Priestess of the Moons in training. She's also the Mane of the Khajiit, a future leader of her people.
* ControlFreak: Alduin and his allies are this, wishing for a [[BlatantLies perfect world]] by destroying this world.
* CoolBigSis: It's possible that Ayisha [[spoiler:looks up to her older self this way]].
* CooldownHug: Brynjolf enacts this on Petra whenever she has a breakdown.
* CoolSword:
** Petra acquires a few. She normally uses a bow, but she becomes a duel swordsperson, before just using the one sword. She possesses Chillrend and the Nightingale Blade, then finds the Dragonbane katana in Sky Haven Temple.
** Rahkes, Brynjolf's dwemer sword.
* TheCorrupter:
** Mercer wanted to turn Petra [[spoiler:to turn into a Vampire Lord and become his queen.]]
** Prolg was this to [[spoiler:Mercer]].
** Alduin did this to most of dragon kind, who were once Jen Dovah, or Amethyst Dragons until he had gotten the Divine Elder Scroll and upgraded himself and the majority of dragon kind.
* CosmicRetcon: [[spoiler:Thanks to Sotrahkun and Brynjolf, and possibly Akatosh, time is reset. Petra is a Companion and everyone who had died was brought back. Sotrahkun also changed a few things but they were for better off in doing so.]]
--> '''Sotrahkun/[[spoiler:Petra]]''': It won't be perfect but it will certainly fix a few problems. I'm not aiming for perfection, I'm aiming for the right balance, which this one lacked.
* CrossOver: Has characters appear from {{Fanfic/Portalborn}}.
* CryIntoChest: Petra to Brynjolf, quite often.
* CurbstompBattle: Zoklotinhaar vs Nahkriin in Chapter 103. Zoklot has a Shout that absolutely dominates the Dragon Priest that involves using of the shadows and DeathOfAThousandCuts via the use of summoned crows and ravens using their wings to slice the enemy at full velocity.
* CuteWitch: Ayisha of course. Although, she's a Priestess of the Moons and knows a bit of magic herself despite being a child.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:D-F]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Surprisingly, not Petra, who grew up with her parents in Cyrodiil and while she complained about farm life, she was happy until she had come to Skyim. However it's actually [[spoiler: Brynjolf with his Former Priest of Talos and actually a member of the Cult of Slaughter father, Prolg.]] Then it gets worse when [[spoiler: he finds out Mercer was actually his father.]]
%%* DarkestHour:
* DarkIsNotEvil: Zigzagged. Darkness and shadow are elements involved operations requiring heists, but also espionage and shadow powers can be used for good, due to Nocturnals influence. However, this has also influenced others in the past to do despicable things, especially when [[spoiler: Molag Bal]] is involved.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Petra, aloof and apathetic at first but get's better. Same with Vex.
* DespairEventHorizon: Oh Gods Petra, the poor thing gets thrown left and right all the damn time and it constantly drives her over the edge. [[spoiler:At one point, she tries to [[DrivenToSuicide kill herself]] and contemplates it often]].
* DeusAngstMachina: Petra, constantly. She gets better towards the end, but all this crap just piles on her simply because she's Dragonborn.
* DevotedToYou: Brynjolf, to Petra.
* DimensionalTraveler: The Realm-Walker and her servants.
* DoesNotKnowHowToSayThanks: Petra at first, but she eventually warms up to people.
%%* DoggedNiceGuy
* DontLookAtMe: Petra when [[spoiler: Brynjolf discovers shes a Vampire]] then when [[spoiler: Brynjolf finds her spirit as a dragon in the Soul Cairn.]]
%%* TheDragon: Prolg, Elenwen.
* DramaQueen: Petra cries a lot, so it falls into this sometimes.
* TheDreaded: The Dragons to Petra. [[spoiler:She gets better.]]
* DreamWorld: The Laaglein. It's an unstable realm of Aetherius that can be accessed while sleeping in certain circumstances. It's also the location of the Jen Dovah, or the Amethyst Dragons like Hahnubopraan. You can also access it while awake, by going through the Dreaming Cave via any realm of Oblivion. It's also stated to be [[spoiler:the force that surrounds the Currents of Time, a literal river that runs through time itself and leads to the Maas, or Seed that grows the Tree of Choices]].
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:After the Regkosot explains the situation to Petra in Chapter 80 on how she can die to save the world, Petra contemplates it and in Chapter 81 makes the attempt, however Brynjolf prevents her. She didn't want to do it, but because of her fathers words, she did it anyway. Brynjolf makes her swear never to do that again. She still thinks about it in Chapter 82, but ultimately upholds her promise to Bryn.]]
%%* DrunkWithPower: Several characters go through this, especially Prolg.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Petra is described as pale, due to her race as a Nord.
* Elders: The Greybeards are grandfatherly to Petra [[spoiler: Brynjolf knows Arngeir since he and his father had visited High Hrothgar before.]]
* EmptyShell: Petra becomes this after she's [[spoiler: [[RapeAsDrama Raped by Mercer.]]]] in Chapter 19. Her narration then goes in between subtle and SuddenlyShouting and describes that her mind has gone blank.
** This wasn't the first time that's happened. It's confirmed when she and Hadvar discussed what happened at Helgen that when it was attacked, that it's described she had [[DullEyesOfUnhappiness eyes like she was dead to the world.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: This was in reason for [[spoiler: Zoklotinhaars]] defection from Alduin. Petra speaks with them and makes them realize what they're doing. Mind you Petra is a thief, so she was already on the borderline.
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: The Guild can see how much Brynjolf cares for Petra that he chastises them at first for looking into it too much in Chapter 15, then realizes he's actually in love with her when thinking about her in Chapter 25. The Chapter name is Acceptance.
* FatalFlaw: Throughout the story, Petra is constantly encountering dragons and due to her phobia holding her back, the body count around her rose up. However...
* FightingYourFriend: Petra verses [[spoiler:Zoklotinhaar! Brynjolf]] in Chapter 58.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:Petra's transformation into Sotrahkun]] has had several hints throughout the story:
** This quote from Nemetona in Chapter 63:
---> '''Nemetona''': [[spoiler: she]] could become a God if [[spoiler: she]] so chose.
** This quote from Petra in Chapter 67:
---> '''Petra''': Makes you think doesn't it? I mean an Elder Scroll that turns you into a God?
** When Petra and the Realm-Walker are walking through the [[DreamWorld Laaglein]] in Chapter 53, A brass gate pops up, leading the Realm-Walker to describe it as the Dreamsleeve, a place when a soul can go to cease to exist, but they didn't have to go through it, it was only showing them an example of it, possibly due the world's reaction to subconscious desires. [[spoiler:Guess what Petra has to go through in Chapter 96?]]
* FreakOut: Petra's natural reaction to the Dragons, first described in Chapter 4:
--> ''Petra'': I hadn't heard that sound in like, forever. My heart was pumping, but not in a good way. I was out of breath and I wasn't even running. Every part of my body froze and Cody just stopped in his tracks. The roars became louder and I started to shake violently. No. Not this again. I...I forced myself to move and charge myself forward. The sound came from behind. I could sense the lingering tinge of the heat. It had given off a terrible shout. By Talos I pleaded for it to go away, but the memories of Helgen flooded back and the only part in my mind was that terrible dragonfire. My body argued with me. With everything. My nerves, my muscles...all influenced by this creature that inspired something extremely painful and agonizing that I couldn't stand it. My mind was everywhere, scattered in the mess that was my head. Sweat, a clamped throat that prevented me from speaking, my eyes aching as tears fell everywhere. I'd taken every breath as if it were my last. By the Gods, they just might be. Yes...the sweat, the tight throat, the flush of heat, the heavy breathing, the inescapable fate of my nightmares.
* FromBadToWorse: An alternative title for the whole story. Let's see, so Petra comes from dealing with dragons, to getting the guild up to full strength, to dealing with a psychotic [[spoiler: Vampire Lord!Mercer and is raped and turned into a Vampire]] to [[spoiler: Your boyfriend getting possessed and finding that]] to [[spoiler: Said boyfriend accidentally (okay he was still possessed) killed you and sending your soul to the Soul Cairn]] to [[spoiler: temporarily turned into a dragon and that]] to [[spoiler: knowing that time is being destroyed.]] and that [[spoiler: you have to die to save the world]], to [[spoiler: learning that what you considered to be your family is dead.]]. [[OverlyLongGag Not finished yet.]] To [[spoiler: being betrayed by an old friend]] to [[spoiler: finding out you're related to a daedric prince]] and finally, [[spoiler: Having to possibly die anyway because it was to save an Old demigod from the brink of death and by extension, time itself completely collapsing.]] Phew!

* GuardianOfTheMultiverse: Sotrahkun and eventually [[spoiler: Petra.]]
* HateAtFirstSight: It's hard to believe Petra started with this in terms of when she had first met Brynjolf, calling him a red-headed bastard and got really pissed off when ever he tried to help her. Now they're betrothed. Brynjolf just has great tenacity in switching her around.
* HappilyFailedSuicide: Played with. [[spoiler: Petra didn't want to die in the first place but it would have been best for the world if she did (ItMakesSenseInContext) she goes along with it due to the Arc Words. Brynjolf saves her and forces her to promise not to do it again. She was slightly unhappy that it failed and had still thought about but sticks to the promise.]]
* HatesBeingTouched: Petra will not allow anyone to touch her, unless your name is Brynjolf or Ayisha.

* HiddenBackupPrince: [[spoiler: Brynjolf of all people.]] is a descendant of Tiber Septim and Queen Barenziah. Apparently, she didn't have the abortion Tiber wanted when she fell pregnant with child and as a result, [[spoiler: Brynjolf]] is the latest in the Septim line, having [[spoiler: him]] have the most legitimate claim to be Emperor. Subverted [[spoiler: he's]] questioned by Jarl Balgruuf, [[spoiler: he]] says [[spoiler: he]] has no intention to lead and doesn't want to.

Immortality." when she's [[spoiler: an Amethyst Dragon.]] she also states that one of the things lost can be morality, especially when she was previously a [[spoiler: Vampire]]. She also states that it breeds laziness and procrastination as a result and a desire to grow old and die, like how it was meant to be.
--> '''Petra:''' I am stronger without death as my shadow. I am weaker without time.
* ImmortalityInducer: The Divine Elder Scroll. Said to have ascended Tiber Septim to become Talos, turned Alduin and his fellow dragons into nightmares and [[spoiler: turned Petra into the Monah of Dovah, Sotrahkun.]]
* ImmuneToFate: Petra is called Fateless but she feels like it's more like an ironic title given what she's forced to do. It comes to a head in Chapter 108 where [[spoiler: As Sotrahkun, she's more of a Scribe able to alter timelines with her feathers. She literally becomes Fate!]]
* IntimatePsychotherapy: Petra and Brynjolf have psychological discussions while having sex, trying to force release of tension and other issues the other might be having. Except when that one time Petra was more interested about talking about Vex and Delvin after one night of drinking.

* SecurityCling: To Brynjolf. Constantly.
* IrrationalHatred: Petra is said to have choice but she wasn't allowed to choose if she wanted to be Dragonborn and finds herself with a [[CursedWithAwesome curse.]] Then later on when [[spoiler: Time starts to break.]] she's placed into a predicament when she only says she has few choices and can't make them herself. She detests the hypocrisy and there's not much she can do about it.

* MissingTime: As time continues to break, Petra is found on several occasions to be misplaced and actually transported into the void, or at least outside time itself. It's suggested at first that she was to blame, but in reality, it's much worse than that. [[MindScrew Maybe.]]
* MonsterProgenitor: While Akatosh is the Father of dragons (Bormah) Sotrahkun is the Mother (Monah of Dragons) and by extension, all Dragonborn. Though Dragons were hatched from eggs and Sotrahkun insists her children are not monsters, Dragonborn are considered her Spirit-Children made to defeat the Dragons to punish them for what they became:
--> '''Sotrahkun''' I am Sotrahkun, Monah of the Dovah. History has been filled with lies and slander about my children. For it was I who laid the first clutch of Eggs for Akatosh. I did not give birth to monsters. I gave birth to protectors of your pasts, your presents and your futures. I guide the Tree of Choices as it grows from the Seed at the beginning of time. It may not all sound like something you would hear from me but for if this is destroyed, life will cease to exist.
--> '''Sotrahkun''' I am not just the mother of dragons, I am a wife of Akatosh. Who has allowed creation of Dovahkiin to teach dovah lessons in humility and to get them back to see who they once were. Noble creatures, corrupted by power and greed. But they are not born from an egg. They are are flesh taken from my breast and spirits made whole once again."
* MyFutureSelfAndMe: Present Ayisha is found as a child, and Future! Ayisha is found with the Nerevarine after they meet in Akavir. Due to the Tears in time, she was sucked back to the past. She comes from a BadFuture where Alduin succeeds and Petra is confirmed dead for good.
* NervousWreck: When Petra encounters Dragons.
* NiceGuy: Brynjolf. Petra notes that he doesn't need to be in Thieves Guild on how he's so nice. He does lap into GoodIsNotNice at times, but he's generally the nicest character who loves his Guild and will do anything for it.
* MysticalWaif: Ayisha.
* NoSell: As Ayisha is the [[TheChosenOne Mane]] of the Khajiit, she has a unique spirit that nulls the effects of the Soul Cairn.

* PhysicalGod: [[spoiler: Petra sacrifices her mortality one more time to become Sotrahkun, White Dragon of the Feather]]
* PlaceBeyondTime: The Maas / The Seed, also known as the Tree of Choices is this. Because it's at the beginning of time. Sort of. The Seed the very beginning and it grows into the tree itself with it's near infinite branches representing multiple timelines and like it's [[MeaningfulName name suggests, it's based on choices that have great enough effect that if another choice was made, events would unfolded a lot differently.]]
* PortalPool: The entrance to the Currents of Time is like this, except it's more like a river.
* PowerEchoes: In Chapters 89 and 91, Petra absorbs an astonishing amout of Dragon souls in such a short time. She first has a mass absorption in Chapter 57 while fighting the Dragons at Fellnir, it's not until the battles at [[spoiler: the Shivering Isles]] and the Laaglein that this starts to happen. Her voices is described to have multiple inflections by Brynjolf.

** For some reason Petra is always [[spoiler: [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice stabbed]] underneath her left breast.]]

* SafetyInIndifference: Petra starts off as this, then when she starts to care, it's all thrown on her.
* ShipperOnDeck: The Guild supports Petra/Brynjolf, while Petra supports Vex/Delvin, much to Brynjolf's chagrin. An alternate universe tells us that [[spoiler:Vex and Delvin are married, and are with child.]]
* ShipTease: Besides the OfficialCouple of Petra and Brynjolf, we're teased Vex/Delvin, Vipir/Sapphire and oddly enough, Karliah/Malborn.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Brynjolf is Petrasexual.
* StressVomit: Due to her Phobia, several times Petra's fears have consumed her so much that it forces her to heave her stomach contents. When Brynjolf isn't disgusted by it and still tries to help her still, she's utterly surprised. [[spoiler: She somehow manages to stop doing that in Chapter 50.]]
%%* SugarAndIcePersonality: Petra.
* SomeoneHasToDoIt: Sotrahkun is tied to time itself, so if she dies, then time dies as well. [[spoiler: Petra doesn't want to, but knows she has to die anyway, as was destined. She becomes Sotrahkun and begins the process of repairing the damage Alduin had made.]]
* {{Squee}}: Petra loves shipping Vex/Delvin so when [[spoiler: she sees them spooning each other after a night of partying]] she could barely contain herself.
* SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum: Alduin. No matter how many times people put this out to him that his actions will do more harm than good, it's clear he doesn't care. He's more of a less considered a brat who will consume the world because it's his destiny as World-Eater and will resort to anything to destroy it. Such as breaking time to get what he waants.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Zoklotinhaar and his armour is this to [[spoiler: Brynjolf.]]
* TearsOfFear: One of Petra's reactions when she encounters Dragons due to her phobia. [[spoiler:She very, very slowly gets over it.]]

* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Petra is like this when ever Brynjolf is in trouble.
* YaoiFangirl: During the game of Thief! in Chapter 78, Petra smiles when Vipir has to search Brynjolf for a particular item, as per the game rules.
--> '''Brynjolf''': Petra's smile turned devlish as I stood up and rose my arms. I think she liked Vipir touching me out of some sick twisted fantasy. Gods...her mind is probably filled with thousands of ideas right about now.
* YouCantFightFate:
** [[ZigzaggedTrope Zigzagged.]] Petra's been told constantly that she is the writer of her own fate, make her own choices and is often called fateless, yet the prophecy calls to her to defeat Alduin. It's not until [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Martin Septim]] explains it to her...in a sort of more sensible way.]]
--> '''[[spoiler:Martin]]:''' You can fix it. But ultimately, what you decide to do, not in terms of what you decide to do now, but afterwards is entirely up to you. When you go through that part, you'll understand what I mean.
** Sotrahkun theorizes Alduin is attempting to subvert the prophecies, saying that he's afraid to die as destined.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Petra helps get the guild back to full strength due to her skills as a thief. But she has a huge lack of self-esteem. People like Brynjolf tell her that she can be a strong person who just needs to be encouraged.
* YouAreNotAlone: Part of Petra's CharacterDevelopment is forming relationships with people. At first she ignored everybody at the Guild, only talking if she really had to and mostly kept to herself. She comes to appreciate the help Brynjolf is giving her and especially after the problem with [[spoiler: Mercer]] she starts forming better friendships within the Guild, who have come to respect her as friend and fellow thief.
* YouAreWhatYouHate: Petra is [[spoiler: killed]] by [[spoiler: Zoklotinhaar! Brynjolf]] by accident and is sent to the Soul Cairn. Her form is that of a dragon and they're ashamed of it. When Prolg hands her the Amulet of Akatosh, she takes a corpereal form and becomes an Amethyst Dragon. She turns back to normal eventually.
** Yet it happens again [[spoiler: when she becomes Sotrahkun]]. While she hates it, she knows it's necessary to do so.

%%* BigBad: Alduin was defeated by Petra in a comment she made. It's made to believe Harkon would become this, then Miraak...but in actuality. [[spoiler: It's Lilith, a completely different character. We meet her in the Hedgehogs World, conducting experiments and mentions that she was behind time screwing up and Prolg, who actually serves her, as well as behind a lot of things. The Realm-Walker and her have been against each other for a while.]]

* TheKlutz: Dex.
* SummonMagic: Dex is introduced to us as a Summoner, she's able to grab some kind of item out of her bag and summon what ever is in her hand and interesting enough, so far summons [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Midna.]] to help her fight. She then later summons [[VideoGame/KidIcarus Palutena]] and [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Lugia.]]
** Not forgetting [[spoiler: Bayonetta with her demon summons.]]
* SurprisePregnancy: Helps kick off the story. [[spoiler: Petra finds out she is pregnant, having conceived with Brynjolf at the end of the first fic.]]
* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: Diga offers information to Hermaeus Mora in exchange for Petra's location, Ala piercing her with his tentacles to absorb more knowledge. He then freaks out, because due to Diga's nature as the Realm-Walker, he couldn't handle her:

--->--'''Petra''' at the end of Chapter 1
[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/13109709/chapters/29992971 Drakonophobia]] is a [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]] Hurt/Comfort/ {{Angst}} {{Fanfic}} by [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Tropers/Experiment282 Experiment 282]].
Petra is the [[TheChosenOne Dragonborn]] of the new age. However she was deeply traumatized by the events at Helgen and at the Western Watchtower which nearly got her killed and wants nothing to do with the Dragons. She flees to Riften and is recruited by Brynjolf to become a thief and to help get the Thieves Guild back on it's feet. Petra's a stubborn nord who grows to be a skilled thief and Brynjolf becomes fascinated with her and tries to bring her out of her shell. He discovers her secret and his attempts to help her out are called out to be just as stubborn. The two grow closer as they work through her [[FatalFlaw phobia]] togethers and shows that [[FaceYourFears outgrowing it isn't going to be easy.]]
It follows the Thieves Guild story line with slight diversions, throwing it in a few [[PlotTwist twists]] here and there and developing into an original storyline with bits and pieces of other Questlines, including the main quest, from the original game thrown in and bits of creativity within the Elder Scrolls lore. Each chapter is in POV's of mainly Petra and Brynjolf, but occasionally have another side character narrate a chapter or two. They mostly have philosophical discussions regarding life the nature of [[ContemplateOurNavels being, religion and existence]], thrown in with drama, action, tragedy, love, madness, magic and wonder.
The Sequel, [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/14775620/chapters/34172861 Chronophobia]] based on Sotrahkun's [[spoiler: CosmicRetcon]] that details Petra's new life in the Companions, but far more zany nonsense than ever before. Less angsty, more strange.
The author has confirmed it is in the same verse as [[{{Fanfic/Portalborn}} Portalborn]] as part of the Realmverse.
And [[SerialEscalation escalated thrills ahoy.]]

* AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome: Several pop up, such as the Amulet of Talos, Amulet of Mara, Amulet of Akatosh, Amulet of Articulation and [[spoiler: the Amulet of Kings.]]
** The Amulet of Talos represents Brynjolf's history as his father was a former Priest of Talos. [[spoiler: Symbolism is higher when it's found that Bryn is a descendant of Talos.]]
** Amulet of Mara is minor, but Brynjolf uses it to propose to Petra of course.
** Amulet of Akatosh has the unique ability to [[spoiler: give temporary flesh to aedric dragon souls, as it did for Petra when she was stuck in the Soul Cairn.]]
** Amulet of [[spoiler: Kings]] is rather ambiguous in it's purpose at first, given that it was originally broken then seemingly repaired when Petra had gone to the Dreamsleeve and finally used to [[spoiler: Summon a whole bunch of other dragonborn from other timelines to defeat each alternate Alduin.]]
* AngerBornOfWorry. Brynjolf snaps it at Petra when [[spoiler: She tries to kill herself.]]
* AntiHero: Petra and Brynjolf are thieves so it's not like they're revered as heroes themselves but they are definitely well liked as peers. They'd rather not get into the hero side of things and have expressed many times the desire to return back to work. Nonetheless, this doesn't happen.
* AntiMagic: Revealed to be one of Ayisha's abilties.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: The Regkosot is the Avatar for Sotrahkun, shown as a Woman in White.
* ApocalypseHow: Alduin wants to enact a Class Z.
* ArcWords:
** "Thank you." Or some variation of it is said at the end of each Chapter.
** "You have to do what you hate in order to survive". Petra's father's words. [[spoiler:They become Petra's own words when at one point she's been told she can die in order to save the world. However, she doesn't want to die, uses the quote and attempts to [[DrivenToSuicide throw herself off]] the Throat of the world.]] Luckily, [[spoiler:Brynjolf saves her in time and gets pissed about it]].
** Follow orders to survive is another one that pops up.
* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: This is Alduin's goal for [[spoiler:Petra]] in order to fight them on equal ground. Apparently this happens in [[spoiler:Chapter 96]] where they enter the gates of the Dreamsleeve and seemingly go through the process of transforming them [[spoiler:into a God.]] However nothing is seen of them after that, making people question where they actually went. It's revealed in Chapter 105 that [[spoiler:Petra became Sotrahkun.]]
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Delvin and Vex. They grew closer after time and heavily implied they did more during the party in Chapter 78 [[spoiler:Which makes their deaths in Chapter 82 much more tragic.]]
* BarrierWarrior:
** Ayisha, more notable with her older self as she casts wards.
** The High Elf Servant of the Realm-Walker [[spoiler:Wheatley]] can conjure relatively strong wards that can contain powerful spirits.
* BecauseImGoodAtIt: Petra's approach to Thieves Guild work.
* BerserkButton: While Petra's phobia was in place each time she fought a dragon, it was found if Brynjolf was hurt or threatened in anyway, that she would tap into her dragon self, leaving her filled with nothing but rage and hate that superseded the fear that was there and has decimated several dragons this way. Once the dragon was dead, she'd become a complete wreck and beside herself.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Petra yet again. She doesn't talk much at first, but she's not afraid to fight back (Unless its Dragons.)
%%* BigBad: Alduin.
%%* BigGood: Sotrahkun.
* BigScrewedUpFamily:
** Brynjolf's family is a mess. His father was abusive former Priest of Talos, forcing him to join the Thieves Guild, his mother is insane and needs constant care [[spoiler: Up until she get's better.]] It gets worse when Brynjolf discovers [[spoiler: He's a descendant of the Grand Master Priest Zoklotinhaar, who he then shares a body with and is constantly possessed by him, and also a descendant of Talos.]] Oh and [[spoiler: He finds out Prolg isn't his father, Mercer is. The same Mercer who raped his mother and raped his girlfriend and turned her into a vampire.]]
** The whole of Dragonkind is this. There's the [[MissingMom missing dad]] Akatosh, Dragon God of Time, Sotrahkun, the dying Mother of the Dragons and their children, the Dovah. Alduin, the eldest is the most screwed up and outright attempts to kill his own mother. He's also the reason why he and the other dragons are so destructive, by using the Divine Elder Scroll to give them more power.
* BlackEyesOfEvil: When Zoklotinhaar possesses [[spoiler:Brynjolf.]]
* BodyHorror:
** Becoming a Vampire Lord naturally.
** When Petra fights a whole bunch of dragons in the [[spoiler:Shivering Isles]] and in the Laaglein, she receives scars on her face that are actually tears that threaten to get worse due the overload of dragon souls she consumes. They originally glow, then fade in. It gives her quite the menacing appearance.
%%* BrokenBird: Petra.
* BrokenPedestal: When Brynjolf discovers Mercer's betrayal, he's in a state of disbelief until Petra convinces him otherwise. [[spoiler: It hurts him further once he discovers Mercer is his father.]]
* ButtMonkey: PETRA. Girl can simply not catch a break. They often call her Petra, Doom-Driven.
* CannotSpitItOut: Brynjolf tries several times but keeps getting interrupted or it's just not the right time. Eventually, he does spit it out. [[spoiler: While he and Petra having sex for the first time.]] which in turn, allows Petra to admit her own feelings.
* CatsAreMagic: Ayisha is a Khajiit Priestess who is also the Mane of her people.
* CastFromHitPoints: This is how [[spoiler: The Realm-Walker dies]], giving all their magicka to Young! Ayisha as she tried to close the last Tear. While Ayisha is [[ChildProdigy a skilled mage]], she doesn't have a large reserve of magicka due to her age.
%%* CessationOfExistence: Alduin's goal.
* CheerfulChild: Ayisha is considered a Khajiit child who loves her surrogate mother and father.
* ChekhovsGun:
** The Ring of Verity and the Ring of Khajiiti
** The Divine Elder Scroll
** Brynjolfs dwemer blade.
** The broken red amulet that's given from [[spoiler:Sheogorath]] to Brynjolf to give to Petra. [[spoiler:Revealed to be the [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Amulet of Kings.]]]]
%%* ChekhovsGunman: Petra's Horse Cody.
* ChildByRape: [[spoiler:Prolg hints Mercer had his way with Nemetona, impregnating her, resulting in Brynjolf being born.]]
* TheChosenMany:
** This fic has the Dragonborn, the Mane of the Khajiit, a descendant of Talos and the Nerevarine, as well as [[spoiler:the former Champion of Cyrodiil come Daedric Prince Sheogorath.]]
** Sotrahkun and Brynjolf enact a ritual that [[spoiler:summons Dragonborn from alternate timelines courtesy of the Amulet of Kings]].
* TheChosenOne:
** Petra is Dragonborn but also, [[spoiler: The descendant of the Champion of Cyrodiil, and by proxy related to Sheogorath.]]
** Brynjolf is a Master Thief. [[spoiler: He's also a descendant of Tiber Septim and Zoklotinhaar, the Grand Dragon Priest who's soul resides inside him.]]
** Ayisha is a Khajiit Priestess of the Moons in training. She's also the Mane of the Khajiit, a future leader of her people.
* ControlFreak: Alduin and his allies are this, wishing for a [[BlatantLies perfect world]] by destroying this world.
* CoolBigSis: It's possible that Ayisha [[spoiler:looks up to her older self this way]].
* CooldownHug: Brynjolf enacts this on Petra whenever she has a breakdown.
* CoolSword:
** Petra acquires a few. She normally uses a bow, but she becomes a duel swordsperson, before just using the one sword. She possesses Chillrend and the Nightingale Blade, then finds the Dragonbane katana in Sky Haven Temple.
** Rahkes, Brynjolf's dwemer sword.
* TheCorrupter:
** Mercer wanted to turn Petra [[spoiler:to turn into a Vampire Lord and become his queen.]]
** Prolg was this to [[spoiler:Mercer]].
** Alduin did this to most of dragon kind, who were once Jen Dovah, or Amethyst Dragons until he had gotten the Divine Elder Scroll and upgraded himself and the majority of dragon kind.
* CosmicRetcon: [[spoiler:Thanks to Sotrahkun and Brynjolf, and possibly Akatosh, time is reset. Petra is a Companion and everyone who had died was brought back. Sotrahkun also changed a few things but they were for better off in doing so.]]
--> '''Sotrahkun/[[spoiler:Petra]]''': It won't be perfect but it will certainly fix a few problems. I'm not aiming for perfection, I'm aiming for the right balance, which this one lacked.
* CrossOver: Has characters appear from {{Fanfic/Portalborn}}.
* CryIntoChest: Petra to Brynjolf, quite often.
* CurbstompBattle: Zoklotinhaar vs Nahkriin in Chapter 103. Zoklot has a Shout that absolutely dominates the Dragon Priest that involves using of the shadows and DeathOfAThousandCuts via the use of summoned crows and ravens using their wings to slice the enemy at full velocity.
* CuteWitch: Ayisha of course. Although, she's a Priestess of the Moons and knows a bit of magic herself despite being a child.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:D-F]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Surprisingly, not Petra, who grew up with her parents in Cyrodiil and while she complained about farm life, she was happy until she had come to Skyim. However it's actually [[spoiler: Brynjolf with his Former Priest of Talos and actually a member of the Cult of Slaughter father, Prolg.]] Then it gets worse when [[spoiler: he finds out Mercer was actually his father.]]
%%* DarkestHour:
* DarkIsNotEvil: Zigzagged. Darkness and shadow are elements involved operations requiring heists, but also espionage and shadow powers can be used for good, due to Nocturnals influence. However, this has also influenced others in the past to do despicable things, especially when [[spoiler: Molag Bal]] is involved.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Petra, aloof and apathetic at first but get's better. Same with Vex.
* DespairEventHorizon: Oh Gods Petra, the poor thing gets thrown left and right all the damn time and it constantly drives her over the edge. [[spoiler:At one point, she tries to [[DrivenToSuicide kill herself]] and contemplates it often]].
* DeusAngstMachina: Petra, constantly. She gets better towards the end, but all this crap just piles on her simply because she's Dragonborn.
* DevotedToYou: Brynjolf, to Petra.
* DimensionalTraveler: The Realm-Walker and her servants.
* DoesNotKnowHowToSayThanks: Petra at first, but she eventually warms up to people.
%%* DoggedNiceGuy
* DontLookAtMe: Petra when [[spoiler: Brynjolf discovers shes a Vampire]] then when [[spoiler: Brynjolf finds her spirit as a dragon in the Soul Cairn.]]
%%* TheDragon: Prolg, Elenwen.
* DramaQueen: Petra cries a lot, so it falls into this sometimes.
* TheDreaded: The Dragons to Petra. [[spoiler:She gets better.]]
* DreamWorld: The Laaglein. It's an unstable realm of Aetherius that can be accessed while sleeping in certain circumstances. It's also the location of the Jen Dovah, or the Amethyst Dragons like Hahnubopraan. You can also access it while awake, by going through the Dreaming Cave via any realm of Oblivion. It's also stated to be [[spoiler:the force that surrounds the Currents of Time, a literal river that runs through time itself and leads to the Maas, or Seed that grows the Tree of Choices]].
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:After the Regkosot explains the situation to Petra in Chapter 80 on how she can die to save the world, Petra contemplates it and in Chapter 81 makes the attempt, however Brynjolf prevents her. She didn't want to do it, but because of her fathers words, she did it anyway. Brynjolf makes her swear never to do that again. She still thinks about it in Chapter 82, but ultimately upholds her promise to Bryn.]]
%%* DrunkWithPower: Several characters go through this, especially Prolg.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Petra is described as pale, due to her race as a Nord.
* Elders: The Greybeards are grandfatherly to Petra [[spoiler: Brynjolf knows Arngeir since he and his father had visited High Hrothgar before.]]
* EmptyShell: Petra becomes this after she's [[spoiler: [[RapeAsDrama Raped by Mercer.]]]] in Chapter 19. Her narration then goes in between subtle and SuddenlyShouting and describes that her mind has gone blank.
** This wasn't the first time that's happened. It's confirmed when she and Hadvar discussed what happened at Helgen that when it was attacked, that it's described she had [[DullEyesOfUnhappiness eyes like she was dead to the world.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: This was in reason for [[spoiler: Zoklotinhaars]] defection from Alduin. Petra speaks with them and makes them realize what they're doing. Mind you Petra is a thief, so she was already on the borderline.
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: The Guild can see how much Brynjolf cares for Petra that he chastises them at first for looking into it too much in Chapter 15, then realizes he's actually in love with her when thinking about her in Chapter 25. The Chapter name is Acceptance.
* FatalFlaw: Throughout the story, Petra is constantly encountering dragons and due to her phobia holding her back, the body count around her rose up. However...
* FightingYourFriend: Petra verses [[spoiler:Zoklotinhaar! Brynjolf]] in Chapter 58.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:Petra's transformation into Sotrahkun]] has had several hints throughout the story:
** This quote from Nemetona in Chapter 63:
---> '''Nemetona''': [[spoiler: she]] could become a God if [[spoiler: she]] so chose.
** This quote from Petra in Chapter 67:
---> '''Petra''': Makes you think doesn't it? I mean an Elder Scroll that turns you into a God?
** When Petra and the Realm-Walker are walking through the [[DreamWorld Laaglein]] in Chapter 53, A brass gate pops up, leading the Realm-Walker to describe it as the Dreamsleeve, a place when a soul can go to cease to exist, but they didn't have to go through it, it was only showing them an example of it, possibly due the world's reaction to subconscious desires. [[spoiler:Guess what Petra has to go through in Chapter 96?]]
* FreakOut: Petra's natural reaction to the Dragons, first described in Chapter 4:
--> ''Petra'': I hadn't heard that sound in like, forever. My heart was pumping, but not in a good way. I was out of breath and I wasn't even running. Every part of my body froze and Cody just stopped in his tracks. The roars became louder and I started to shake violently. No. Not this again. I...I forced myself to move and charge myself forward. The sound came from behind. I could sense the lingering tinge of the heat. It had given off a terrible shout. By Talos I pleaded for it to go away, but the memories of Helgen flooded back and the only part in my mind was that terrible dragonfire. My body argued with me. With everything. My nerves, my muscles...all influenced by this creature that inspired something extremely painful and agonizing that I couldn't stand it. My mind was everywhere, scattered in the mess that was my head. Sweat, a clamped throat that prevented me from speaking, my eyes aching as tears fell everywhere. I'd taken every breath as if it were my last. By the Gods, they just might be. Yes...the sweat, the tight throat, the flush of heat, the heavy breathing, the inescapable fate of my nightmares.
* FromBadToWorse: An alternative title for the whole story. Let's see, so Petra comes from dealing with dragons, to getting the guild up to full strength, to dealing with a psychotic [[spoiler: Vampire Lord!Mercer and is raped and turned into a Vampire]] to [[spoiler: Your boyfriend getting possessed and finding that]] to [[spoiler: Said boyfriend accidentally (okay he was still possessed) killed you and sending your soul to the Soul Cairn]] to [[spoiler: temporarily turned into a dragon and that]] to [[spoiler: knowing that time is being destroyed.]] and that [[spoiler: you have to die to save the world]], to [[spoiler: learning that what you considered to be your family is dead.]]. [[OverlyLongGag Not finished yet.]] To [[spoiler: being betrayed by an old friend]] to [[spoiler: finding out you're related to a daedric prince]] and finally, [[spoiler: Having to possibly die anyway because it was to save an Old demigod from the brink of death and by extension, time itself completely collapsing.]] Phew!

[[folder:G-I]]
* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: Petra and Brynjolf finally do the deed in Chapter 40 after many chapters of UnresolvedSexualTension
* GoodWingsEvilWings: Petra learns a shout in Chapter 53 that allows her to summon dragon wings. [[spoiler: Brynjolf gets Zoklotinhaars armour, which can summon a pair of black raven wings.]]
* GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler: Brynjolf learns his father put the soul of an ancient dragon priest inside of him, who's Bryn's ancestor. It flip flops between Brynjolf being outright possessed and talking with the Priest]]
* GraveMarkingScene: After coming back from the College of Winterhold, the group discovers [[spoiler: The Thalmor had found the Guild's new hiding place with their new toys, allowing the elves the use the thu'um that killed them a all. They had to bury each and everyone of them.]]
%%* GreyAndGrayMorality
* GuardianOfTheMultiverse: Sotrahkun and eventually [[spoiler: Petra.]]
* HateAtFirstSight: It's hard to believe Petra started with this in terms of when she had first met Brynjolf, calling him a red-headed bastard and got really pissed off when ever he tried to help her. Now they're betrothed. Brynjolf just has great tenacity in switching her around.
* HappilyFailedSuicide: Played with. [[spoiler: Petra didn't want to die in the first place but it would have been best for the world if she did (ItMakesSenseInContext) she goes along with it due to the Arc Words. Brynjolf saves her and forces her to promise not to do it again. She was slightly unhappy that it failed and had still thought about but sticks to the promise.]]
* HatesBeingTouched: Petra will not allow anyone to touch her, unless your name is Brynjolf or Ayisha.
* HatesEveryoneEqually: Petra of course at the start. She mellows out a bit over the course of the story.
* HeroesWantRedheads: Petra eventually falls for Brynjolf, for whom she calls a "Red-headed bastard."
* HeroicBSOD: Petra has these often, especially when she has to deal with her phobia. But besides those, she has one in Chapter 19 [[spoiler: as she's raped by Mercer.]] Another in Chapter 50 that continues into Chapter 51 [[spoiler: Brynjolf is possessed and stabs her, while she discovers her parents have been killed.]] and [[RunningGag another]] in Chapter 80 after [[spoiler: the Regkosot tells Petra she has to die.]]
* HiddenBackupPrince: [[spoiler: Brynjolf of all people.]] is a descendant of Tiber Septim and Queen Barenziah. Apparently, she didn't have the abortion Tiber wanted when she fell pregnant with child and as a result, [[spoiler: Brynjolf]] is the latest in the Septim line, having [[spoiler: him]] have the most legitimate claim to be Emperor. Subverted [[spoiler: he's]] questioned by Jarl Balgruuf, [[spoiler: he]] says [[spoiler: he]] has no intention to lead and doesn't want to.
* HiddenDepths: Brynjolf displays great leadership and gives out words of encouragement to inspire not just Petra, but others as well. [[spoiler: Being related to Tiber Septim and having the dragonblood might have something to do with it.]]
* HormoneAddledTeenager Dirge complains only hormonal teenagers play Thief! when pitching the game in Chapter 76. He doesn't play it in Chapter 77, he just keeps an eye on the Guild when they do.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Petra is considered tiny, while Brynjolf is your average nord height, but is slightly bulky.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Both Petra and Brynjolf just want to get back to doing what they do best.
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Petra tries this with [[spoiler: Brynjolf]] when they're possessed. It doesn't work until [[spoiler: Zoklotinhaar inadvertedly kills her]] that they eventually snap back.
* ImmortalityImmorality: It's put in discussion philosophically, saying that becoming Immortal meant sacrificing something in return, especially when Petra discusses it in Chapter 64, aptly named "Mortality VS. Immortality." when she's [[spoiler: an Amethyst Dragon.]] she also states that one of the things lost can be morality, especially when she was previously a [[spoiler: Vampire]]. She also states that it breeds laziness and procrastination as a result and a desire to grow old and die, like how it was meant to be.
--> '''Petra:''' I am stronger without death as my shadow. I am weaker without time.
* ImmortalityInducer: The Divine Elder Scroll. Said to have ascended Tiber Septim to become Talos, turned Alduin and his fellow dragons into nightmares and [[spoiler: turned Petra into the Monah of Dovah, Sotrahkun.]]
* ImmuneToFate: Petra is called Fateless but she feels like it's more like an ironic title given what she's forced to do. It comes to a head in Chapter 108 where [[spoiler: As Sotrahkun, she's more of a Scribe able to alter timelines with her feathers. She literally becomes Fate!]]
* IntimatePsychotherapy: Petra and Brynjolf have psychological discussions while having sex, trying to force release of tension and other issues the other might be having. Except when that one time Petra was more interested about talking about Vex and Delvin after one night of drinking.
* IronicFear: She's technically a dragon herself, albeit mortal [[spoiler: Even her spirit in the Soul Cairn is that of a dragon.]]
* SecurityCling: To Brynjolf. Constantly.
* IrrationalHatred: Petra is said to have choice but she wasn't allowed to choose if she wanted to be Dragonborn and finds herself with a [[CursedWithAwesome curse.]] Then later on when [[spoiler: Time starts to break.]] she's placed into a predicament when she only says she has few choices and can't make them herself. She detests the hypocrisy and there's not much she can do about it.
* IWorkAlone: Petra at first, and wasn't at all pleased when Brynjolf forced her to work with him in Windhelm in Chapter 8. She gets over it.

** AffablyEvil: Them, including Elenwen came come under this, especially they can be civil enough to let things fall into plan eventually.

** [[spoiler: Zoklotinhaar sacrifices his own existence to give Sotrahkun the edge and Nocturnal's Secret Thu'um.]]

* TheLadette: You could argue Petra, Vex, Sapphire and Tonilia all fall underneath this.
** And the Realm-Walker, who occasionally sits with her feet on the table.
* LastOfHisKind: [[spoiler: Not only is Brynjolf the last Septim but he is also the last surviving member of the Thieves Guild in Skyrim, after it's wiped out and after Petra [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifices herself]] to save Sotrahkun.]]
* LeaveMeAlone: Petra at the beginning due to her dislike of working with people. She gets over this eventually despite her originally stubborn nature, allowing Brynjolf to help her.
* LightIsGood: Sotrahkun is portrayed as a pure white dragon and is definitely on the good guys side.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Brynjolf to Petra. He doesn't mind. All he wants to do is to help her and tells her it's okay to cry. Also contributing to the fact is that he discovers he's in love with her, which helps support this. And at times, Petra was even this to Brynjolf.

** PromotionToParent: When said Khajiit is found in Chapter 44. For both Petra and Brynjolf, whom Ayisha affectionately calls them Mama and Papa respectively.
** Irony being [[spoiler: When Petra becomes Sotrahkun, she actually becomes the Mother of all Dragons and Spirit-Mother of all Dragonborn.]]
* TheMirrorShowsYourTrueSelf: In Chapter 75, a visit to the Laaglein brings Petra and the Realm-Walker to a river, known as the Currents of Time and looks into the river itself, seeing her reflection as [[spoiler: her dragon spirit, the Jen Dovah to which all Dovah once were.)
* MissingTime: As time continues to break, Petra is found on several occasions to be misplaced and actually transported into the void, or at least outside time itself. It's suggested at first that she was to blame, but in reality, it's much worse than that. [[MindScrew Maybe.]]
* MonsterProgenitor: While Akatosh is the Father of dragons (Bormah) Sotrahkun is the Mother (Monah of Dragons) and by extension, all Dragonborn. Though Dragons were hatched from eggs and Sotrahkun insists her children are not monsters, Dragonborn are considered her Spirit-Children made to defeat the Dragons to punish them for what they became:
--> '''Sotrahkun''' I am Sotrahkun, Monah of the Dovah. History has been filled with lies and slander about my children. For it was I who laid the first clutch of Eggs for Akatosh. I did not give birth to monsters. I gave birth to protectors of your pasts, your presents and your futures. I guide the Tree of Choices as it grows from the Seed at the beginning of time. It may not all sound like something you would hear from me but for if this is destroyed, life will cease to exist.
--> '''Sotrahkun''' I am not just the mother of dragons, I am a wife of Akatosh. Who has allowed creation of Dovahkiin to teach dovah lessons in humility and to get them back to see who they once were. Noble creatures, corrupted by power and greed. But they are not born from an egg. They are are flesh taken from my breast and spirits made whole once again."
* MyFutureSelfAndMe: Present Ayisha is found as a child, and Future! Ayisha is found with the Nerevarine after they meet in Akavir. Due to the Tears in time, she was sucked back to the past. She comes from a BadFuture where Alduin succeeds and Petra is confirmed dead for good.
* NervousWreck: When Petra encounters Dragons.
* NiceGuy: Brynjolf. Petra notes that he doesn't need to be in Thieves Guild on how he's so nice. He does lap into GoodIsNotNice at times, but he's generally the nicest character who loves his Guild and will do anything for it.
* MysticalWaif: Ayisha.
* NoSell: As Ayisha is the [[TheChosenOne Mane]] of the Khajiit, she has a unique spirit that nulls the effects of the Soul Cairn.
** The Ring of Verity does this as well.
* OhCrap: We see the first reaction of Petra's realisation a dragon's nearby at the end of Chapter 3 and her escape from it in Chapter 4.
** She and Brynjolf encounter the same dragon in Chapter 9.
* OnlySaneMan: Brynjolf
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: In a twist to the original Thieves Guild storyline [[spoiler: Mercer]] is revealed to be a Vampire Lord in the service to Molag Bal. [[spoiler: he]] forces [[spoiler: Petra]] to become one, in the same tradition hinted in the Dawnguard DLC, so [[spoiler: Petra]] becomes one as well, albeit temporarily.
** It's also revealed later on that [[spoiler: Prolg]] is one as well, corrupting [[spoiler: Mercer]] in the process.

* PetitePride: Petra is described as small and petite, which works well in her line of work that allows her to get inside short, tight places.
* PhysicalGod: [[spoiler: Petra sacrifices her mortality one more time to become Sotrahkun, White Dragon of the Feather]]
* PlaceBeyondTime: The Maas / The Seed, also known as the Tree of Choices is this. Because it's at the beginning of time. Sort of. The Seed the very beginning and it grows into the tree itself with it's near infinite branches representing multiple timelines and like it's [[MeaningfulName name suggests, it's based on choices that have great enough effect that if another choice was made, events would unfolded a lot differently.]]
* PortalPool: The entrance to the Currents of Time is like this, except it's more like a river.
* PowerEchoes: In Chapters 89 and 91, Petra absorbs an astonishing amout of Dragon souls in such a short time. She first has a mass absorption in Chapter 57 while fighting the Dragons at Fellnir, it's not until the battles at [[spoiler: the Shivering Isles]] and the Laaglein that this starts to happen. Her voices is described to have multiple inflections by Brynjolf.

* ReadyForLovemaking: Petra's surprise for Brynjolf after a long night of drinking, though while they are making love, they talk about if Vex and Delvin eventually got it on as well, much to Brynjolf's exasperation.
* RingOfPower: Two in fact. Ayisha possesses the Ring of Khajiiti, that allows her to turn invisible, as well as the Ring of Verity, which acts as a No Sell and can summon the Realm-Walker to you.
* RunningGag: Brynjolf says something greatly philosophical to Petra to help her, then mentions he was probably talking out of his ass.
** For some reason Petra is always [[spoiler: [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice stabbed]] underneath her left breast.]]
** Petra tends to transform into other creatures for what ever bizarre circumstance turns her. [[spoiler: The sequel, Chronophobia, continues this trend as she becomes a Mobian Panther.]]
** Petra's obsession with shipping Vex and Delvin.

* ShipperOnDeck: The Guild supports Petra/Brynjolf, while Petra supports Vex/Delvin, much to Brynjolf's chagrin. An alternate universe tells us that [[spoiler:Vex and Delvin are married, and are with child.]]
* ShipTease: Besides the OfficialCouple of Petra and Brynjolf, we're teased Vex/Delvin, Vipir/Sapphire and oddly enough, Karliah/Malborn.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Brynjolf is Petrasexual.
* StressVomit: Due to her Phobia, several times Petra's fears have consumed her so much that it forces her to heave her stomach contents. When Brynjolf isn't disgusted by it and still tries to help her still, she's utterly surprised. [[spoiler: She somehow manages to stop doing that in Chapter 50.]]
%%* SugarAndIcePersonality: Petra.
* SomeoneHasToDoIt: Sotrahkun is tied to time itself, so if she dies, then time dies as well. [[spoiler: Petra doesn't want to, but knows she has to die anyway, as was destined. She becomes Sotrahkun and begins the process of repairing the damage Alduin had made.]]
* {{Squee}}: Petra loves shipping Vex/Delvin so when [[spoiler: she sees them spooning each other after a night of partying]] she could barely contain herself.
* SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum: Alduin. No matter how many times people put this out to him that his actions will do more harm than good, it's clear he doesn't care. He's more of a less considered a brat who will consume the world because it's his destiny as World-Eater and will resort to anything to destroy it. Such as breaking time to get what he waants.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Zoklotinhaar and his armour is this to [[spoiler: Brynjolf.]]
* TearsOfFear: One of Petra's reactions when she encounters Dragons due to her phobia. [[spoiler:She very, very slowly gets over it.]]
* TimeTravel: Petra visits the Currents of Time and goes to at least three points in time:
** Meets a young boy running away from his father and inspires him [[spoiler: to join the Thieves Guild.]] Highly implied this is [[spoiler: Brynjolf]]
** Visits the [[spoiler: Dragon War]] and meets a younger [[spoiler: Paarthurnax]] and inspires him to [[spoiler: teach the Voice to mortal kind]]
** And lastly, she actually falls into an alternate universe where [[spoiler: Mercer]] wasn't a dick...well, he still is a dick. [[spoiler: He lets Petra know he's Brynjolf's real father]] and has been in contact with Realm-Walker, looking after Young! Ayisha.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Petra doesn't have any notable feminine traits, other than her inner shipper.
* TomboyishPonytail: Most of the time, Petra's hair is always up and only lets it done when she's with Brynjolf...uh...alone Ahem.
* TryToFitThatOnABusinessCard: Sotrahkun, White Dragon of the Feather, Wife of Akatosh, Monah of the Dovah, Spirit-Mother to the Dragonborn, Guardian of the Maas and the Tree of Choices.
** Then add afterwards [[spoiler: former Dragonborn / Dovahkiin, Petra Doom-Driven.]]
* TheVoiceless: The Realm-Walker's assistant, whom Brynjolf calls the Mute Girl/Lass who has the ability to teleport herself and other people around.
%%* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes
* WomanInWhite: Regkosot. [[spoiler: Avatar for Sotrahkun, the White Dragon of the Feather.]]
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Petra is like this when ever Brynjolf is in trouble.
* YaoiFangirl: During the game of Thief! in Chapter 78, Petra smiles when Vipir has to search Brynjolf for a particular item, as per the game rules.
--> '''Brynjolf''': Petra's smile turned devlish as I stood up and rose my arms. I think she liked Vipir touching me out of some sick twisted fantasy. Gods...her mind is probably filled with thousands of ideas right about now.
* YouCantFightFate:
** [[ZigzaggedTrope Zigzagged.]] Petra's been told constantly that she is the writer of her own fate, make her own choices and is often called fateless, yet the prophecy calls to her to defeat Alduin. It's not until [[spoiler: [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Martin Septim]] explains it to her...in a sort of more sensible way.]]
--> '''[[spoiler:Martin]]:''' You can fix it. But ultimately, what you decide to do, not in terms of what you decide to do now, but afterwards is entirely up to you. When you go through that part, you'll understand what I mean.
** Sotrahkun theorizes Alduin is attempting to subvert the prophecies, saying that he's afraid to die as destined.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Petra helps get the guild back to full strength due to her skills as a thief. But she has a huge lack of self-esteem. People like Brynjolf tell her that she can be a strong person who just needs to be encouraged.
* YouAreNotAlone: Part of Petra's CharacterDevelopment is forming relationships with people. At first she ignored everybody at the Guild, only talking if she really had to and mostly kept to herself. She comes to appreciate the help Brynjolf is giving her and especially after the problem with [[spoiler: Mercer]] she starts forming better friendships within the Guild, who have come to respect her as friend and fellow thief.
* YouAreWhatYouHate: Petra is [[spoiler: killed]] by [[spoiler: Zoklotinhaar! Brynjolf]] by accident and is sent to the Soul Cairn. Her form is that of a dragon and they're ashamed of it. When Prolg hands her the Amulet of Akatosh, she takes a corpereal form and becomes an Amethyst Dragon. She turns back to normal eventually.
** Yet it happens again [[spoiler: when she becomes Sotrahkun]]. While she hates it, she knows it's necessary to do so.
* YourWorstNightmare: Guess[[/folder]]
!!Tropes Exclusive to the Sequel, Chronophobia:
[[folder:]]
* AnIcePerson: Lyndall.
* BabiesMakeEverythingBetter: Quite the opposite: [[spoiler:Petra's unborn child is the subject of want by the Daedric Princes, making her situation much worse.]] Her allies wanted her to stay at High Hrothgar, where they would be protected.
%%* BigBad: Alduin was defeated by Petra in a comment she made. It's made to believe Harkon would become this, then Miraak...but in actuality. [[spoiler: It's Lilith, a completely different character. We meet her in the Hedgehogs World, conducting experiments and mentions that she was behind time screwing up and Prolg, who actually serves her, as well as behind a lot of things. The Realm-Walker and her have been against each other for a while.]]
* CrossOver: While the first fic had the crossover with Morrowind, Oblivion and Portalborn, this fic has a few interesting franchises thrown in the mix. Namely [[spoiler: VideoGame/Fallout4, VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}} and Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog.]]
* DualWielding: If the name Tera Twin-Blades didn't give any clues.
* FunnyAnimals: When they visit [[spoiler: [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog The Hedgehogs World,]]]] Some of the characters become this: Brynjolf becomes [[spoiler: a Red Fox.]], Petra becomes a [[spoiler: Panther.]] and Diga becomes a [[spoiler: Dragon.]]
* HotWitch: Unsurprisingly, [[spoiler: Bayonetta.]]
* TheKlutz: Dex.
* SummonMagic: Dex is introduced to us as a Summoner, she's able to grab some kind of item out of her bag and summon what ever is in her hand and interesting enough, so far summons [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Midna.]] to help her fight. She then later summons [[VideoGame/KidIcarus Palutena]] and [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Lugia.]]
** Not forgetting [[spoiler: Bayonetta with her demon summons.]]
* SurprisePregnancy: Helps kick off the story. [[spoiler: Petra finds out she is pregnant, having conceived with Brynjolf at the end of the first fic.]]
* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: Diga offers information to Hermaeus Mora in exchange for Petra's location, Ala piercing her with his tentacles to absorb more knowledge. He then freaks out, because due to Diga's nature as the Realm-Walker, he couldn't handle her:
-->'''Hermaeus Mora''' "WHAT ARE YOU?"
