BRIEF SHINING MOMENTS
"Don't let it be forgot.

A NOTE ABOUT RATING AND WARNINGS (possible minor spoilers ahead). Rated M for eventual: violence, mentions of violence against animals, complications with pregnancy, and both consensual and non-consensual sexual situations. Trigger warnings will be included at the beginning of any chapter which has content I feel might be upsetting. If there is something I haven't warned against, but should, please let me know.

Dribs and Drabs for I Shall Endure Universe and Book 1: Brief Shining Moments by Melysande
Dragon Age, Dragon Age: Origins
6 May 2013

Summary
Some scenes don't make it into the stories or they lead down alternative paths not taken. I've begun to turn a few from the I Shall Endure universe of Melysande Cousland and friends into alphabet one shots. They are 1000 words or less and won't be done in order. Most assume familiarity with Book 1: Brief Shining Moments; all assume familiarity with Dragon Age and Thedas.

Summary
From the arid steppes of the Anderfels to the lush heartlands of Arlathan to the cold reaches of Ferelden, the fate of Thedas lies in the hands of the Grey Wardens during a Blight. When being a werewolf is a sign of warrior nobility in your kingdom and being a Dog Lord, bonded to a mabari, means you'll always play second fiddle in your family as a seneschal, cold-eyed, emotionally distant Mara Cousland is probably the last person a ragtag band of misfits would rely on to save the world after disaster and betrayal strike. Good thing she has her trusty mabari, a snark-arse attitude and a convenient bastard prince to hand...

Summary
"I have always wanted adventure," Aileen told them, "but not like this. It was not supposed to happen this way. My parents were not supposed to die at the hands of a Howe." She spat the name like a curse. "And now, I'm going to kill the bastard no matter what it takes. Even if it consumes me." Strong head-canon, slight AU. Part I of my Aileenistair series. Currently rated T.

Summary
A re-imagining and expansion of the Human Noble background story in 'Origins', done as a character study of my m!Cousland warrior character.
Geoffrey Cousland may be the talented younger son of the highly respected Couslands of Highever, but with no prospects to further his ambitions of political advancement, he spends his spare time and energy on sexual conquests of the servants from chambermaids to scullery wenches and outsiders when possible.
It really was the best day ever: waking up with a girl in his bed, another assignation for the night, and his father leaving him the keys to the castle as he and Fergus marched off to battle the Blight.
Before it became the worst day ever.
(I realized that the timing of the origin story makes absolutely no sense, except to be able to compress about 4-5 hours of ‘real’ time into an hour or less of game time. Based on that, I used a great deal of license to tease the events of that day apart and embroider it with events of my own. Liberal use of game dialogue and situations are interwoven with original narrative.
For the noble goal of writing smut, of course.)
