Summary
An AU based on the American and French Revolutions and a late 18th Century aesthetic. Hawke/Anders-centric but all listed ships get their due.
When Ferelden won its independence, rebuilding took an unexpected turn. Maric truly didn’t want to be king, so he urged the people to vote for General Loghain Mac Tir to lead a Republic. Now, as Ferelden faces a Blight, most of Thedas expects its radical experiment to fail against that threat. Its leaders must defeat attacks from the outside and, unfortunately, the inside.
Meanwhile, in Kirkwall, nobles and clerics still oppress the population: Mages, elves, regular people—all are crushed. But a group of would-be rebels have taken inspiration from Ferelden. They include a physician/apothecary who writes radical pamphlets and is secretly a mage, a fierce elven scholar trying to raise the Alienage, the son of a viscount killed by the Templars, and others. Maric, his elven wife, and their son soon travel there to help.
The three Hawke siblings fall in with this group, each one finding love and a place in the fight. But in the face of profound challenges to the revolution, can anyone prevent a terrible outcome?

Summary
"The Commander had many hard won skills. He’d fought numerous battles. Vanquished blood mages. Slaughtered demons. He could inspire troops, plan sieges, sleep on the hard ground in his armor, battle the demons of paperwork - turn on his very own Knight-Commander! But never, in all his life, had he faced the challenge of brushing a little girl’s tangled hair. Listening to Lara fuss that he was pulling her hair when he had barely touched it was teaching him a new level of patience. Remembering his sisters’ curly manes, he suddenly had a deep appreciation for both his parents. First he tried pulling it back into a simple, but bumpy, ponytail.
“Mama always did it in braids.”
“Right.” Cullen had seen Ellana twist her hair up in complicated plaiting dozens of times. The movements so familiar to her fingers that she rarely needed a mirror. It had looked easy enough. Cassandra wore her dark hair in a braided crown along her head. Sensible enough and how difficult could it be? His fingers felt like useless sausages from a day old breakfast. He tried to gather the gold strands into two sections on either side of her head and braid up but how exactly did Ellana do that anyway? Was there blood magic involved?" -

Summary
Great figures arise from crucibles of cruel design. When the Blight forces long-disgraced Leandra Amell and her children to emigrate back to Kirkwall, her eldest paves their future with mayhem and reports of apostate behaviors amongst the mercenary circles. Someone that unhinged would crawl under Bartrand’s skin and was precisely the type of person Varric intended to use. Or, at least, that was the plan.
Updated monthly after chapter three.

Summary
Everyone has that one person that will be there for the majority of their life, that one person that the universe has decided will know you for years. It could be your best friend, you worst enemy, or the guy you get bread from every morning. This person is what's known as your Voice, the one person you can communicate telepathically with at will, among other things.
Meanwhile, Velania's a primal-school-specialized apostate just trying to stay afloat amid her hurricane of a life. Antivan-born and Fereldan-raised, she's a survivor of Kinloch Hold and an escapee of the Kirkwall Circle, and is now living in the war zone that is the Hinterlands with an apple-loving hart. To top it all off, her Voice is a Kirkwall Templar, whose identity is unknown to her, yet he knows who she is. Oh, and did I mention he can be more than a bit of an ass? Cuz that's a thing. Whoop-de-doo.
When she meets the Herald of Andraste and is roped into joining the Inquisition, she reunites with old friends and old....not-at-all friends.
Maker help Thedas.

Summary
This work was developed as a result of my fascination with the romance between the woman Hawke and Anders. It is the story of a slow burn romance, a slowly emerging feeling between a mage and the main character of the game. A love that awakens in empathy, care, gestures, longing, fascination with the other person and transforms into hot, unbridled desire. The situational canvass of this paper is based on the familiar game quests, which form a chronological story. The aim was not to create new adventures or explore new locations, but only to weave a hot love story into the familiar canon. It is the love between Hawke and Anders that is foregrounded here, for which the game events provide an interestingly (I hope) described background. A large part is devoted to an issue particularly close to my heart – Anders’ motivation, his unbridled desire for freedom, which should be the right and privilege of every man. My heroine does not have a canonical name, in this story I have decided on a different name, harmonizing with my inner self, suggested by the name generator for Dragon Age.

Summary
“I think we can risk a fire,” Hawke mutters, though he sounds dubious. They’ve sheltered in a crumbling ruin, remnants of tall broken towers obscuring the view from the road. He smiles grimly. Streaks of dirt shadow his chin like a patchy beard, moonlight pocking around his chipped front tooth. “I’ll find some wood, if you want to light it.”

On the run after Kirkwall, Hawke and Anders share a moment of quiet. -

Summary
Most random women shoved into thedas think idly about how lucky they are they can find some work outside of brothels, at least in the books. It’s a distant, insignificant thing they never really thought was an option. Not worth the labor required, not worth the suffering possible.
Fisara is not lucky, she is not idle, and she cannot rule out any of her options. The Blooming Rose gets a new prostitute who doesn’t quite act like an elf should.
(an exploration of class, sex work, philosophy, and a little murder. as a treat.)

Summary
He waited a week. Then another. Then after his training on Sunday but before dinner, he was summoned to the mage library on one of the higher floors. He walked alone, picking at his fingernails and holding his poor-boy books under his arm. He felt like a toddler walking between those forests of tomes. He felt stupid because he couldn’t read half of them.

Summary
Book One in the series dedicated to the histories of Lady Inquisitor Sinclair. Former Ostwick Mage Olivia comes from a life of disturbing secrets and devastating loss. Once the daughter of an up-and-coming Orlesian house, her abilities led to a life of ostracized irrelevance to both her nation and her family. Years later, tensions in Thedas between Mages and Andrastian Orders have come to a head. The perfect setting, it seems, for a corrupted Tevinter Magister to stake his claim of chaos. By virtue of rotten luck Olivia finds herself thrust in his path, imbuing her with magic beyond her imagination. Now, she must learn to balance her own hunger for justice with those of the world's most mistreated, as leader of the reborn Inquisition. Tense alliances become friendships and old friendships are tested. Will she concede to the reputation the world has defined for her, or will she forge her own, even if it means great sacrifice?

Summary
rara avis
[rahr-uh ah-vis]
origin. latin (tevene)
noun, plural rarae aves
1. a rare person or thing; rarity.
2. literal, a rare birdWhen Dr. Alberta Marieve Shaw left work on Christmas Eve, she was planning on a quiet evening at home before heading off to sit on a beach in the Caribbean for a week, but things do not go according to plan. She finds herself in a completely foreign world, unlike anything she has ever experienced. At first, it seems that nothing in her past or training could have prepared her for this, but perhaps she is better suited to this world than she initially thought. She must navigate a war between mages and Templars, the brutality of Thedas itself, and the whims of a powerful Inquisitor to survive and find her way home.
