    Summary

    “I am indeed the one who found your son with the whores, my friend. Ask me not what I was doing there, and I shall tell you no lies. The boy had enough cheek, even in his inebriated state, to invite me to join him. It made me laugh, so I dragged him back to the Gilded Quarter rather than simply calling the Templars….”
    -Alexius, in a letter to Halward Pavus (from World of Thedas)

    In canon, Dorian Pavus escapes a religious institution and is finally found “in a drunken stupor in a house of ill repute in the elven slums”. It is where he originally met Alexius and became his protégé. This fic takes place years before the events of Inquisition. It is an AU featuring a much younger Dorian and an Amheotil Lavellan whose life turned out much differently than it did in his main Inquisition storyline.

    Summary

    ‘I could bear it,’ he rasped.
    ‘Could you?’
    He shook his head, looking down at his markings.‘You didn’t have to do it. It’s useless. How much will I get from it? Hours? Minutes?’
    ‘Fenris,’ Hawke whispered, ‘we’re going to fix this.’
    He lifted his gaze, searching her face for an answer before he dared to ask, ‘At what cost?’
    At any cost, she thought.
      
      
    After the battle of Kirkwall, Hawke tries to patch up her life, and she succeeds. For a while.

    Summary

    Dans l’Empire de Tevinter, les elfes n’ont ni nom, ni liberté. Pourtant Leda Mercar grandit cachée, là où sa simple existence est un crime. Dotée d’un esprit prodigieux, elle consacre sa vie à combattre la corruption dans les ruelles étouffantes de Minrathie. Mais derrière son calme, quelque chose se tait. Une étrangeté enfouie dans son regard, dans ses silences, dans la façon dont elle comprend le monde. Et lorsqu’une détective cynique croise sa route, l’équilibre vacille.
    ***
    In the Tevinter Imperium, elves have neither names nor freedom. Yet Leda Mercar grows up in hiding, where her very existence is a crime. Gifted with a prodigious mind, she devotes her life to fighting corruption in the suffocating alleys of Minrathous. But behind her apparent calm, something remains unspoken. A strangeness buried in her gaze, in her silences, in the way she understands the world. And when a cynical detective crosses her path, the balance begins to falter.

    Summary

    Every story’s got an ending. This one just came a little earlier than I’d planned.

    Rook wonders if Solas feels the same way as the Dread Wolf’s closes — as his new one with Ellana Lavellan cracks open to its first page.

    It was a good ending — a poetic ending — the Inquisitor taming an impossibly ancient grief to walk hand in hand with her lover into the Fade.

    Forever bound together; forever sharing the love they’d built between them — unshakable and iron willed and impossible to break in spite of the decade that hung between their last meeting and the flare of green that accompanies their dematerialization.

    It was nice, and it was peaceful, and Rook has been left standing in the ashes of a blighted Minrathous — broken, bleeding, and bitter.

    In the moments following the defeat of Elgar'nan and the redemption of the Dread Wolf, Rook is dragged into another unwanted, unpredictable magical shit show. After being given a vague order and an even vaguer plan, he's thrown into the past — much further than anticipated.

    A time travel fix-it fic written by an author obsessed with dashes and italics.

There will be missing scenes, retelling, original characters connected to my Rook, and relationship between different characters from previous games based off of my playthroughs and head canons from the other games!

    Summary

    “How does it feel?”

    “How does what feel?”

    “Being in his shadow.”

    ---

    When you’ve lived through the end of the world, how do you move on?

    Rook de Riva never expected there to be an ‘after' to this job. For twenty-two years, Rook was an Antivan Crow by circumstance, not by choice. While returning to the yoke of the Crows after so long away proves a bitter pill to swallow, it is life with the new First Talon that forces a reckoning with past wounds left unhealed.

    When Tevinter's new Archon seeks out the Crows to eliminate the remaining Venatori, Rook is quick to jump at the contract for an escape, even as it claws at the darkest parts of her past. As tensions grow and truths come out, Rook must ask herself how much she's willing to endure for love.

    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

    In Kirkwall’s warren of alleys and darkened stone, violence is a language more common than the Trade tongue. Katica Basri, a Crow-trained assassin bound to a spirit she cannot always control, is drawn into the tangled lives of Hawke and his companions: outcasts, fugitives, and those who have lost more than they can name.

    But it’s Fenris— a fellow survivor shaped by cruelty and loss— whose presence cuts closest. Together they must navigate trauma, both shared and solitary, learning to trust each other in a city where trust is always dangerous and kindness comes with a price.

    As the city ignites, with templars and mages circling, debts resurfacing, and trust growing thin, every secret becomes a weapon. In Kirkwall, survival means choosing sides, even when the line between ally and enemy is always shifting.

    Summary

    Reaper, General. Hero.

    Shadow Hunter.
    While the rest of the world is well on its way to recovery from a great cataclysm. Ven Aladar still feels its weight.
    Focus more on the hunt and the duties placed upon her than processing all she lost. But on the insistence of her patron god, she left the path to a world newly connected to her own. A land that does not know her people, their gods, and best of all, they don't know her.
    What she'll find, even her patron doesn't know. Maybe she'll find nothing of worth, just continue what she was doing in this new place.
    Or just maybe, like her patron hopes, she'll be able to find herself once again.

    In other words, what would happen when I send an Ark RP character turn dnd character to Thedas? If this turns into a dumpster fire, blame my friend for joking about this.

    Summary

    Fenris never allows his Master to sense his displeasure, but the elf always grows quieter when they make the voyage back to Neromenian. When away from Castellum Tenebris, Fenris prides himself in being the sole object of his Master’s desire in all things, able to be both protector and comforter. Within the walls of Danarius’ fortress, however, an irritating elven bed slave always seeks to usurp his place as his Master’s favourite.

    Summary

    After Inquisitor Lavellan's encounter with Solas, Dorian Pavus returns to Tevinter and assumes his family's seat in the Magisterium. He knew the risks from the start- political alliances forged and broken in the blink of an eye, the scorned party seeking the aid of assassins to level the playing field. Every month, a new Magister enters the Magisterium. Every vote places a target on your back. You survive by your own merit, or you fade into obscurity. Those who ally with your cause are currency.

    And so forms the Lucerni.

    Even with these political advancements, Dorian finds himself missing Lycus Lavellan more and more with each passing day. He doesn't act on it- Lycus is a weakness. And Dorian refuses to bring him into the dangerous waters of Magisterium politics.

    Summary

    For six years, Lucanis Dellamorte had been left to rot. For six years, he hardened himself to the reality that he had been forgotten by the family he'd sacrificed everything for. So, he carved his freedom from the grasp of his captors and forged a new life for himself out of the carcass the Venatori left behind. Little by little, he must retread the paths of his own imprisonment to uncover the root of his betrayal.

    (An excuse for me to write a worldbuildy AU inspired by The Count of Monte Cristo and lots of other historical/political drama stuff. With gay shit too obviously)

    Summary

    Title subject to change.

    I am not an expert on the lore and will have made mistakes and / or I have taken creative liberties. I am dyslexic and have not written anything remotely creative in a decade but I am doing my best.

    TLDR: Inquisition retelling with multiple POVs. Oh and Lavellan is from a strange clan that revere Fen'Harel and free slaves and such.

    Bronwyn "Rook" Mercar is no stranger to loss. She would not lose Lucanis too. Not to the gods, not to his bastard cousin, and not to his own personal demons.

    Summary

    Stuck on a mission through the Tevinter jungle with an incessant storyteller, Ishal Mercar figures that she ought to toss in a story or two of her own. There is no better way to end a day of trudging through mud than by talking about something somehow less pleasant, after all.
