    Summary

    After (supposedly) killing Corypheus alongside her partner Carver Hawke, Warden Adara Surana is determined to cure the Taint that dooms them to an early grave. When Anders blows up the Kirkwall Chantry, however, her plans are thrown into chaos. Carver rushes to Kirkwall to help his sister, Champion Vivian Hawke, and Adara chases after him.

    Meanwhile, Templar Dacre Trevelyan is lost and grieving. He’s determined to drag Anders to Starkhaven to face justice, and he’s willing to go through Vivian Hawke—and anyone else—to do it. He crosses paths with Adara Surana instead. It’s kind of a disaster.

    This is Part 3 of Warden Surana’s story, to cover DA2 endgame events and the immediate aftermath. Planned POVs from Adara Surana, Dacre Trevelyan, and Carver Hawke.

    Summary

    Kirkwall is known as the “City of Chains”. Its jet black walls feel like an appropriate backdrop for a site whose history is filled with dark and bloody deeds. It is also where Theresa and Cullen have decided to make their new home, now that the Inquisition has been disbanded. Together with Cullen’s youngest sister, Rosalie – an apostate and now Theresa’s pupil – and their mabari Cal, they make a valiant attempt at settling down and starting fresh. But the past will not stay quiet, and unresolved hurts begin to fester, spreading their corruption into the present, and possibly poisoning any future they hope to build.

    This is part two of an ongoing series, but I’ve done my best to make each arc work as a standalone, so feel free to start here if you like! Please take careful note of the tags. I will be including CWs at the start of relevant chapters, and will do my utmost to approach these topics with sensitivity and compassion. Take care of yourselves!

    Summary

    Anders doesn't accept Fenris' possessive behavior. Maybe they can be more than occasional fuckbuddies but in the exploration of what sex can mean, love gets involved. That's always a problem.

    Fenris learns what it means to love, working against the trauma of his past. But in the process, Anders drifts away from him and all their friends.

    Summary

    “I left the Order, when I joined the Inquisition. I’m not a templar anymore.”

    “You’re not?” she asks. “Prove it.”

    A fireball flares in her palm, the white-hot shriek of it contained but ready to launch. He is all reaction, practiced movements shifting into a defensive stance, hands ready to clap together in a silence. She can smell his lyrium in the air.

    Banishing the magic, she says, “You can take the man out of the Order, I guess.”

    ***

    Evelyn and Cullen remake the world.

    Summary

    This is my vision of how Cullen's life has gone during all three Dragon Age games as the tortured side character. He is the main character of these stories.
    If you have not read the entire series, you will not understand what is happening. I am not that good a writer to make each story stand-alone. Too much work.

    Cullen is possessed of two demons that constantly war with each other and pull him to and fro.
    Previously, Wrath was dominant.
    Now, in his heartbroken state, it is Despair that runs things.
    His struggle is real.

    Wrath is Italics text. Despair is small text.
    Expect Updates will not be as fast as previous stories, as I am writing this one from scratch and without concrete guidelines.

    This is not the story that I originally intended to write. Cullen has gone completely off the rails. He will not go along with the flow. He will not listen. He will not conform. He is doing his own thing and, as much as I want to keep this true to the game, this is now truly AU.

    Summary

    Maybe Solas just needs a gin-and-tonic and a good therapist. Shit, do they have gin in Thedas? Note to self: Find and then distill liquor with juniper berries.

    Wait, do they have tonic?

    In which I slowly tear this meta apart, limb from limb.

    Summary

    Tav stared at the sun, that dying ember until dark spots were burnt into his eyes. And still, he felt nothing. Only a gaping void where his soul had once been, hollowed out by his transformation into a mind flayer. He was a danger to those he once loved, and while he mostly felt apathetic about the fact, that old part of him, that wretched kindness once innate, rebelled.

    As the cool blade plunged between his ribs, he could only feel relief.
    .
    Tav takes his life after becoming a mind flayer. When he wakes up in another world, he soon realises that his world-saving days are far from over...

    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

    “I was a glorified prisoner of the state, Dorian. He – all of them – are drug-addled slaves to it. I’m sure they could have become different people, long ago, but the Chantry took that future from them the moment they were dosed with lyrium," Cora says with disgust.

    “I could say the same of you, you know,” Dorian says. “Indeed I have done, of all southern mages. But we find ourselves here, now, bent toward the same end. I suppose we’ve all been given the chance to choose our better selves, haven’t we?”

    “Yes,” Cora sighs. “I suppose we have.”

    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

    After the breaking of the Ferelden Circle more than a decade before, Lanil Surana was sent to the Montsimmard Circle to regain some semblance of sanity and purpose. Her close relationship to Grand Enchanter Fiona changed her life for the better even while she struggled with an unquenchable rage rooted deep in her heart. Only her actions can show how grateful she truly is, and she'll do anything to pay back everything the Grand Enchanter did for her.

    If that means travelling to an apocalyptic future with an annoying smart-ass Tevinter mage, begging the Inquisition for help, facing too many ghosts from her past, punching royals in the face, play-acting roles she'd never had, and desperately trying to find anyone willing to help her people and protect their hard-won freedom, then that is exactly what she will do.

    Summary

    All their lives, twins Julian and Olivia Hawke have only known survival. As Kirkwall's troubles take their toll, both twins must learn that it is okay to let friendship and love into their lives and to fight for what they believe in.

    This is a canon divergence AU with twin custom Hawkes that reimagines the Kirkwall crew in the criminal underworld. Both pairings listed are equally important to the story.

    Summary

    The Herald was delivered from the breach by the hands of Andraste herself—the destined savior of the faithful in shining templar armor, sent to them in their time of need.

    The truth of Connor Trevelyan was far more complicated, and the bright brand of the Chantry sunburst upon his forehead offered no answers.

    Summary

    Picking up right where we left off in He Can Be Strong For Someone Else - Act 2.

    Kirkwall is as hard to stomach as ever even though things have calmed down some.
    All Cullen can do is the best he can. Try to uphold his duty and his conscience and straddle the gap between the two.
    The thing is...lines are beginning to blur. All kinds of lines, not just between mages and templars or demons and magic.
    He's still possessed, he still has nightmares, he still can't sleep. But maybe he's learning from all of this.

    Once again I state that I am being very fast and loose with the timeline here, so things can move and shift a bit to match up with the course of events for the story. Nothing is concrete except the scenes that have been detailed and if I come up with more scenes to add, they’ll come as new posts outside of each Act. I have thought of a few already.
    (This story has taken on a life of its own - which forced a slight change to the title of this act.)
