Hey so I'm currently planning on making a fanfic for Skyrim based off the Dragonborn going to Winterhold in order to become a mage and I was wondering which of these plots sound more interesting.
Plot one. After the fight on the throat of the world, (the first fight with Alduin where Dragonrend is learned) so anyway I was thinking for this he would head to Winterhold a little hurt and more humbled aiming to learn more powerful magic so that he would be able to be more powerful the next time he fought Alduin, he would then kick off the quests for both the Colege quest and also the destroy the brotherhood quest. When he is done with these he would then return to do the main Alduin quest.
Plot two. this would be different because it would be set after he killed Alduin and after being fed up of being treated as royalty for killing Alduin he had spent a couple months training with the Greybeards, hoping to get back out into the world he would then start the destroy the brotherhood quest by killing Grelod then kind before he headed to Winterhold hiding his status as dragonborn in the hopes that he can lie low only to start the Winterhold college quest.
