The Dragonborn is, to put it bluntly, not doing a great job of saving the world. Maybe they were previously very sheltered and naive, and barely know one end of a sword from the other. Maybe they're too busy climbing the ranks in the Thieves Guild or the Dark Brotherhood. Maybe they're just scared stiff by the thought of fighting Alduin.
Whatever the reason, things are Not Going To Plan, but damn it Akatosh didn't send another Dragonborn into the world for this. Clearly, the Last Dragonborn needs more forceful guidance than the Greybeards can provide. So what's the God of Time to do except cut a deal with the only other living Dragonborn?
Akatosh will get Miraak out of Apocrypha if Miraak, in exchange, gets the Last Dragonborn up to snuff and helps them take out Alduin.
How hard can it actually be?
I don't mind if the relationship between Miraak and the Last Dragonborn is romantic or not, although I would like it if he grows genuinely fond of them over time, whether as a partner or a mentor/friend. If you do go the sexy route, my only squicks are bathroom stuff.
Bonuses:
- Miraak trying to give the Last Dragonborn the slip after putting in a token effort, only to get a lecture from a very disappointed Akatosh. - Hermaeus Mora doing his best to make life difficult for both Dragonborns, and possibly getting help from his fellow Daedric Princes. Alternatively, the Daedric Princes that Mora has managed to annoy in the last few centuries doing the Dragonborns a favour to get back at him. - Miraak holding the opinion that he is way better than Tiber Septim ever was, and why do people literally worship that guy anyway? Extra bonus points with sprinkles on top if this gets him out of a sticky situation with a Thalmor agent.
