    Summary

    Modest in temper, bold in deed.

    That was the motto of House Trevelyan. But as a mage in the Ostwick Circle, Evelyn Trevelyan would only ever be able to fulfill the first half. Boldness was not something the world wanted from a mage. Evelyn had long accepted this fact, even as she dreamed of freedom, if only a fraction of the freedom others enjoyed. When a mage destroyed a Chantry in Kirkwall, starting what would become the Templar-Mage War, Evelyn found herself thrust into a world that required boldness not only for survival, but for the savior it saw in the Herald of Andraste. Can an ex-templar teach her to trust herself and the boldness he sees hidden deep inside?

    Summary

    The Phoenix whose coming has been foretold to us will rise from its ashes once again. The Hold must prepare.

    The fire bird will herald in prosperity and fertility to whichever Hold can capture and keep it. Its spirit is strong-willed having been returned many times by the Lady of the Skies.

    "How are we to prepare for such a creature?" The Augur asked the Hold Spirits in disbelief. A blessing from the Gods was being sent when the clan needed it most. No children had been born for over a year and no woman could hold one within her womb for long. The winter had been harsher, killing off many of their winter crops. War between the clans loomed in the near future as each desperately sought more territory for hunting due to the failing of the winter harvest. Even their hold beast had not been seen in some time.

    You will know the human female by the great magic she commands. A primal rage dwells in her and sets her spirit a fire. When you lay eyes on her wings there will no doubt of her identity.

    A final warning, you must not tell her of her destiny. If she is told too much too soon, she has the power to change the path the gods have laid out for her. The blessing of the gods would be lost.

    Summary

    "Well, well, her perfect record has a spot on it." Unlike Leliana, Cullen did not find other people's secrets entertaining. "It would seem the Knight-Enchanter made an enemy of a Templar - Ser Aeron. The last entry is dated the week prior to the fall of the Ostwick Circle. The incident was reported by another Templar who witnessed it. He reports, Ser Aeron, unprovoked, publicly punished her and she submitted to it without a fight."
    "Why would that be of any consequence?" Even though it was uncharacteristic of Evelyn to submit, he wanted to know why this incident was so fascinating to her.
    "Because the rumors were that she began the uprising in the Circle after she was beaten publicly by a Templar."
    "She told us she didn't start the uprising."
    "And you are just going to take her at her word?"
    "Leliana," Josephine sounded slightly annoyed, "may I remind you that she is one of us now. Let's try to give her some benefit of the doubt."
    "Fine. Then she can also explain why the Knight-Commander was found burnt to death in her room."

    Summary

     
    "Yet everything that touches us, me and you, takes us together like a violin's bow, which draws one voice out of two separate strings." -Rainer Maria Rilke-

    Welcome to my version of a mage Trevelyan/Cullen pairing. This story will be based mostly during the events of the Inquisition, without touching too much on in-game quests and as such, it will not quite be a literal retelling of the game story line.

    Expect a generous sprinkling of world-building, in particular the Ostwick Circle, and a cast of well-developed characters.

    Told from the POV of my Inquisitor Loryen, a musician whose soft and kind nature is at odds with the demands of the Inquisition, and of our beloved Commander Cullen - without a doubt my favorite DA character to write - who discovers he doesn't have to punish himself forever for the errors of his past.

    This fic was on a hiatus for a while but if you enjoyed it before, I hope you will join me again as I continue Loryen's journey. I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I would be to know there are still readers out there interested in this work!

    As always, thank you for reading <3

    Summary

    This never should’ve happened.
    We never should’ve met.
    Love shouldn't bloom from such tragedy, and yet here I stand falling for a woman many consider the messenger of Andraste.
    It's blasphemous.

     

    There's something more to the Commander.
    I could feel it.
    Something beneath the ex- Chantry boy's diffidence, something primal.
    But I'm now considered a key figure in the religion he follows.
    And even though I know I'm still just a woman, he sees someone closer to his god than he's ever known.
    Still, I won't stop trying to bring out the Lion I know lurks beneath all that armor.

    Summary

    For the love (and obsession) of Cullen Rutherford and my Lavellan, I toyed with existing scenes from the game, added my own, and stepped into the romantic heads of the pair of lovebirds as they face their feelings amid a war.

    Dragon Age Inquisition as a love story, first and foremost.

    Summary

    With Inquisitor Lavellan newly appointed as head of the Inquisition, and a new fortress to call home in Skyhold, things are looking up as far as saving the world is concerned. But as the days pass, one worry has been plaguing Varric Tethras more and more. He would ask the Inquisition to help... except, that would require telling the truth. And he has a very strong suspicion that some people, namely the stab-happy Seeker, would not take it very well.

    Someone should also really check on that Trevelyan kid. He's getting a little too invested in this "pretending to be holy" business.

    Summary

    ** I'm revising and finishing this beautiful mess **
    Last update: Dec 18, 2023
    Up to: Chapter 103

    When Mithra pledged to go to the Conclave on Clan Lavellan's behalf, she thought it would be a quick job and she could get on with her life. Unfortunately, this tattooed, beat-up, mouthy Ranger finds herself trapped in a very difficult and potentially dangerous situation.

    Between the Breach, those fucking fade rifts, the trauma she's endured, and her free lifestyle, Mithra's in more trouble than she lets on. If not for that hole in the sky, she would be gone immediately. For now, she must make the best of it, adjust to her situation, and keep her darkest secrets close. Of course, fate's twisted sense of humor will reveal them whether she likes it or not.

    If they find out- Well, if she can keep a firm handle on things, they might just get through this.

    [ DA:I didn't have squat for Inquiz backstories. This tale is designed to fix that ]

    [ Beware: I'm a twisted character-sadist ]

    [ Smut is separated into its own chapters with warnings in the Summaries ]

    Summary

    Back at Skyhold and Bull hadn’t realised what he was watching for until he didn’t see it. No red hair running, or limping up the stairs to the library. No staff lent against a chair as he met with the advisors, no ready grin and freckle smeared tan at the bar. He wasn’t in the healer's tents, he wasn’t with Solas so Bull had strapped his brace back on over an aching knee, left the warm tavern, and started the hunt.

    Summary

    Freya Trevelyan was severed from her family completely due to her development of magic. A fleeting time knowing the embrace of family, and then forced into a harsh world. Enduring suffering upon suffering. It was little wonder why the young mage never trusted anyone with ease. After a year on the run, she has found herself thrust in the center of events. It's no longer a fight for her life - but for all of Thedas. It's in the face of these trials she may just find family. And in the least likely of places come to know something of love.

    ---------------------------------
    I love my cullywully. And I love the fluffy stuff. But this is more taking on a - darker Cullen then they show in the games. Playing with learned prejudice. Hate born through trauma that was never dealt with. And naturally Freya is just the other side of the same coin. Honest mess that shouldn't end up together - but you know what. It's going to happen *evil cackle*

    - ANYWAYS. That all said. She was abused in the circle - and that will come up in all this most likely a few times >.>

    Summary

    The various journals and journeys of Hissera Adaar, former Tal-Vashoth mercenary, reluctant Herald Of Andraste, and leader of the Inquisition.
