Fics like The Shrine of Akatosh

Tanvyr Vandlen—as known to the Imperial City’s illegal fighting pits—is a hedge wizard, a brawler, and if you ask them, a s’wit who doesn’t know how to shut their mouth unless someone shuts it for them. But only Arena-sanctioned fights are supposed to end in death. An accident with a dubious spell later, they find themself unlucky enough to see that enforced. They’re slated for execution as a murderer—until the Emperor walks into their cell instead. To their guilty conscience, having the Amulet of Kings shoved into their hands is an opportunity to make something of their life. To their adrenaline-seeking impulses, it’s a thrill to throw themself into an Oblivion Gate. But for all Tanvyr is trying to be the hero the situation deserves, the priest they were sent to save sees through their fronts. Martin terrifies them, most of all for his insistence on seeing them as an equal. Being the Emperor’s sharpest Blade is simple. Being his friend is more difficult—and wearing his love openly, unthinkable. Not because of what they’ve done, but because of who they are. And the longer they stand beside him, the less certain they are of who that is. Which has to be a good thing, given everything. Right?
