Summary
After weeks of receiving no word from Scout Harding about the situation in Emprise du Lion, Inquisitor Melisande Trevelyan sets out with Commander Cullen to check on the military camp established outside of Sahrnia. Sahrnia proves to be even more bleak than they could have expected- soldiers and citizens are going missing, demons and red templars alike run rampant, and red lyrium is poisoning the earth. The red lyrium contaminates what little supplies the Inquisitor's party has, and soon the long-term exposure begins to poison her, her condition worsening rapidly as the winter presses on. Cullen, on the other hand, feels stronger, more capable, more like the templar he was— and he hates every minute of it, knowing it sets back his recovery from his addiction to a point from which he may never return. Desperation tests the loyalty of the Inquisition soldiers stationed in Sarhnia, demonic forces pull strings from the shadows, and the Inquisitor and Cullen are forced to rely on each other like never before in order to survive the winter in the Emprise. As they search for a way to stop the corruption of the red lyrium and liberate the town of Sahrnia, it all comes back to Suledin Keep and a mysterious demon who resides there.

Summary
After the party's trip to the House of Hope, Wyll starts to realize that the party's leader has something deeply wrong with them. Driven to play the hero once again, he tries to find out more, when Mizora approaches him and helps by showing him the Dark Urge's past and potential future. He sets his mind to playing hero once more, the noble stalwart who will slay this vicious Bhaalspawn and save his friends from their influence.
A self-indulgent fic inspired by the fact that Wyll is the ONLY companion who will turn on you and side with the Harper's if you become Bhaal's Chosen.

Summary
The Sangonomiya Resistance won. During the Traveler's battle with the Raiden Shogun, the resistance forces took Tenshukaku, imprisoned the bulk of the Tenryou Commission, and with it, took charge of Inazuma. The war is over, the archon has gone silent save for repealing the Vision Hunt Decree, and life can almost get back to normal- for those that were on the side of the Resistance, that is.
Despite her last minute change of heart against the Tenryou Commission, Kujou Sara is taken prisoner, held for her crimes in persecuting vision-wielders throughout Inazuma. Even when walking free, she's held captive under the vitriolic stares of the Inazuman people. Her clan disowned her for siding against them, the people hate her, and even her beloved archon has gone silent. In a chance meeting, she comes across a mysterious Fatuus who makes her an offer- a way to atone for her past and bring Inazuma towards a brighter future.

Summary
“The Inquisitor, the Inquisition’s Ambassador, Divine Victoria, and the Hero of Ferelden walk into a bar. There’d be a joke about it if you all didn’t look so miserable to be here.”
Three months after the Exalted Council, The Inquisition’s Arcanist, Dagna, vanishes into thin air, and without a trace. When others follow suit and in nearly identical circumstances, it becomes apparent that someone has to investigate-- who better than Inquisitor Adaar and former Warden Commander Tabris? They depart under the guise of a political campaign across Thedas to strengthen the Inquisition’s global ties and assert goodwill towards the new Divine. It’s all a front, of course.
There’s no way this can go wrong.

Summary
The rest of their troupe was beginning to move, and so Astarion turned to join them, but Wyll gestured again. He chuckled a bit and shook his head, but asked, “May I, then?”
“Oh, yes.” Astarion said, “Though I didn’t expect you to be the first in line.”
Wyll chuckled again, and moved with a strength to each step, kneeling and lifting Astarion suddenly off of his feet.
“Oh,” Astarion said again, though he would not let himself be caught off guard. He draped a hand across Wyll’s chest as he was adjusted in the hero’s arms. “Now, that is chivalry, look at you.”
