    Summary

    "I need to talk to you" turned into something more. It always did. They'd make their way to the nearest balcony. Teasing. Exchanging glances. Hands would brush tentatively. Then shoulders, and then (just when Dorian thought he might die), lips. One of them would end up pinned against the stone wall, most often Dorian, hidden in the shadow of the eaves. In those stolen moments, they weren't Inquisitor and follower, Dalish Elf and Tevinter Altus, or even two men; just brilliant points of pleasure.
    ***
    In my head, the events of DAI are Varric's version of the story. So this is a *mostly* cannon-compliant account of Lavellan and Dorian's relationship. Part 2 takes place leading up to "Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts." It delves into themes of: structural inequality, grief/loss, and the horrifying ordeal of being known.
    [Reading Pt1 is recommended, but you won't be totally lost if you don't]

    Summary

    Thedas has had many mighty heroes: brave noble warriors, tenacious mages daring the Fade, quick-witted rogues evading danger. These are the people who become legends.

    This story is about someone else entirely - an elf from the alienage, the sole survivor of the Conclave, who really misses his Ma.

    The story of someone who despite being a Herald, has no idea what the word means.

    Summary

    Ara Adaar does not need Cullen Rutherford, not after he rejected her advances in Haven. But being made Inquisitor is a heavy burden to bear, and Ara finds herself seeking out…more. When that “more” takes the shape of one very dashing Hawke, Ara may find herself more than a little surprised by the Commander’s next moves.

     

    Essentially, my wish fulfillment for Cullen to end up with a Qunari mage who makes him work for it. Will be finished in the next few days and posted as two gigantic chapters.

    Summary

    When she woke in a strange world with no name and no memories she knew that her fate was precarious, but the one thing she did know was that she was a survivor. She would survive this world that wanted her dead. She would survive this mark on her hand. She would survive.

    But… for what?

    A darker, more realistic version of a modern girl in Thedas, with a surprise crossover to be announced later! Dark themes, but for the most part this will be a happy(ish) tale.

    Summary

    What if it was Lavellan who had found Solas? What if Rook was working with her? What if Varric had told Hawke about everything that was going on? What if old friends wouldn't ignore the greatest threat Thedas ever had to face? A complete re-telling of Dragon Age: Veilguard.

    Summary

    Dawes 'Rook' Mercar has long accepted that his life would be a grueling and bloody-knuckled fistfight. He dreams of a new Imperium, of slavery abolished, of the Venatori eradicated; but his blind vengeance for the murder of his mother muddies the waters of his intentions.

    A chance meeting six months ago delivered him Scout Lace Harding, and impossibly, a reminder that goodness can still be found in some hearts. While he works through the brambles of his own mind, he asks her, selfishly, to wait for him.

    In the throes of the Sixth Blight, his traitorous heart has other plans.

    Summary

    A comic retelling of Inquisition but with Maddox as the herald. I did this to explore the cure of tranquility and tranquility in general, and also because I love Maddox and Samson.

    Summary

    As a paramedic, Caylee’s used to the pressure of holding somebody’s life in the palm of her hand, right up until she takes a risk she shouldn’t and dies. That should be it. She should drift into nothingness. Instead, she’s plucked out of the void by something that calls itself a god and offered a deal: her life in exchange for completing a mission it won’t explain.

    The only problem is that when she wakes up, Caylee isn’t on Earth. She’s in a world of elves, mages, and dwarves. A world that shouldn’t even exist.

    Aeva is the daughter of a dead mother and a slain father, in a position few in Thedas would wish to be in: a Dalish orphan. When she was young, she wanted to be a great warrior like her father. Now she just wants to find the man who killed him and return the favour. With nothing left that matters to her except her annoying younger brother and a clan that still treats her like a child, she wants more. She wants justice, but she’ll settle for revenge.

    A dark twist on a Modern Girl in Thedas story.

    Summary

    In a freak twist of fate, after killing Ghilan’nain and unleashing a lethal amount of magic, Rook does not find herself in the Prison of Regrets. Instead, the magic creates a pseudo-rift and spits her out the other side.

    Stuck in the past, she has several options but only one real conclusion: the Inquisition had done fine the first time. They certainly didn’t need her assistance. The fate of the Veil still hung in the balance, and she had vowed to keep it there by any means necessary. Solas had been helpful up to this point, but she’d known he was plotting—scheming to escape his prison.

    He had used blood magic on her. He’d hurt Varric. He’d cheerfully kill her given half a chance. This younger version hasn’t done anything yet… and doesn’t know to be wary of her. Rook wasn’t above using him, and then killing him with his back turned.

    What was the Dalish saying? May the Dread Wolf take you? Not if Rook took him first.

    Summary

    Our original character, Myra, has found herself, under mysterious circumstances, thrust into the world of Thedas. Stripped of language skills and answers, she must fight not only for her survival but also to satisfy a burning curiosity and a relentless desire for the truth that avoides her. The "how" and "why" of her predicament will drive her forward, compelling her to confront not only this harsh new reality but also the person she once was in her own time. Don't you crave the change as well, dear reader?
    ________________________________________________________________________________________________________
    The frantic stream of her thoughts was abruptly severed as the fingers of her hand became ensnared in the thread as well, pulling her downward. She watched the light above diminish to a shrinking glimmer as she was dragged further into the abyss. Then, with a jarring impact, her back slammed against something hard, and everything descended into darkness.

    “One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman, you - Myra, but nothingness is the foundation of this becoming.”

    Summary

    Stella Trevelyan was of no help to anyone. She knew it and took it deep to heart. The best thing she could do, for herself, and those around her, was to live a life of uneventful seclusion.

    Unfortunately, she was chosen twice to represent a cause she never truly believed in. The first nearly resulted in her own death. The second reunited her with someone who should have been dead.

    To her luck, her past had forgotten her as much as she wished to forget it. If it stayed that way, she could play the role she was forced into with few, if any, complications. But no matter how much Stella tried to push her away, Josephine Montilyet refused to remain a memory…

    Summary

    Being the chosen Dragonborn was already a cruel enough fate for one who had lived through so much tragedy. The weight of the many lives and their futures weighing heavily on one individual's shoulders. And yet, it wasn't enough to be the savior of one world. Trapped in what appears to be an entirely different dimension with foreign magic eating away at her hand, Lor must persevere through another world's problems and survive long enough to return and save her own world. Will she succeed or will she allow both worlds to be utterly destroyed?

    Summary

    After a traumatic event at school, Holli wakes up in Thedas with a magical mark on her hand they expect her to use to close the hole in the sky. She goes with it on the provisor the Inquisition will use some of their resources to find her a way home.

    As time goes on she comes to learn there is more that connects her to Thedas and the Fade than the glowing mark on her hand.

    And after meeting Cole, and growing close to the other members of the Inquisition, there might be more reason to stay in this land of magic and dragons than she'd originally believed.

    Summary

    Fen'Harel just wanted a nice, long nap. He didn't want to deal with the living, or wander a world with all these short-lived humans running around making war at each other and oppressing the descendants of his People. But now he's awake, now his orb has been stolen, and now he has to deal with two of these fleeting idiots in particular. The one that quite literally has him by the Wolf Ball, and the other who'd somehow marked himself as part of the Dread Wolf's territory and now wields the only power capable of ending this mess.

    And neither one of them is particularly good at what they're trying to do.

    (Multi-POV fic of the events of DAI, as told through the eyes of the entire classic cast + 1 OC who have to collectively work around a very dislikeable Inquisitor.)

    (This fic is currently under reconstruction to fix the formatting issues that have been annoying readers for three years now [but it is still readable! I promise the words are all there]. Please excuse the mess, it's going to take me a while to fix the 100+ chapters of stubbornness I insisted on uploading first)

    Summary

    * Rating Change

    Solas knew very little about the woman who bore his mark except she was a beautiful and compelling mystery.

    The green glow lit the small cell. The magic on her hand never fully subsided, but when it spit green fire the woman grew restless. He felt a connection to her that the presence of the mark did not explain. Solas almost did not want her to wake up.
    The moment he interacted with her, she was bound to disappoint, failing to live up to any of his imaginings.

    As if to mock this sentiment, the elf stirred. She opened her eyes to reveal bright green eyes. Solas caught his breath, transfixed.

    She said accusingly, “Is this another trick? You think I can't escape from your prison, Solas?”

    The breath froze in his chest and everything stopped.

    She knew him.

    Solas had no memory of her.
    --
    Both Rook and Solas travel back in time to the begining of the Inquisition. From the beginning, Solas senses a bond linking him to Rook. This changes everything.

    Not a strict retelling.

    Heavy emphasis on Rook and Solas's relationship. Anyone else notice the tension between Cassandra and Varric?

    Expect plenty of party banter as well.

    Summary

    The Fade is one of life's greatest mysteries, and a group of grad students at Freemarch University aim to figure it out. Rook Theirin-Hawke is a blood mage, a bartender, a terrible girlfriend, and a Veil Jumper. With so much on her plate, she's surprised there's time to hunt darkspawn each night with her friends.

    Lucanis Dellamorte is a demon abomination, a doctoral student, a mage killer, and conscripted by the Abysmal gods to hunt down the last of the blood mages. With so much on his plate, he's surprised there's time to drink at his target's bar each night with his friends.

    "If the Blight Comes, Beep Me." is a modern 90's AU fanfic loosely inspired by Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

    *Disclaimer: This is my side project while I work on my trilogy, Two Rooks and a King. Posting will be less regular, but I've been dying to write this, and dying to share.
