    Summary

    {extremely in progress work}

    Three different heroes, three different lives, and they all converge at one point.

    Morwen Hawke is torn by the divide between what she wants and her desperate clamor for a steady future she must carve for her family in the wake of death, war, and disarray. Selfishly, she has always wanted more than she can have, promising to pay the cost later.

    Briana Trevelyan is thrust into leadership and prestige after a decade forcefully trying to put her family's name and titles behind her, cursed by the Maker to tarnish a noble name with magic. She must outrun her past's monsters while fighting new ones and create purpose where she has always feared to find it.

    Fionne Amell is not quite sure she is the hero everyone wants and remembers her to be, but she is too afraid to die a young hero's death anyway.

    Summary

    Yet another Dragon Age Isekai.

    Arden wakes up in a different world, determined to do something positive in what appears to be some kind of coma dream or hallucination. Maybe she'd help people dig wells, or plant crops or something until her synapses stop firing and she dies, or she wakes up.

    She instead finds a bald elf in bad shape about to get taken out by wolves. Some stabbing and yelling later, she decides this is her good deed: Getting this dumbass in better shape so he can do whatever the hell he seems so dead-set on doing.

    Whoops.

    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

    A tryst? Unlikely - Leliana had various lovers over the years, and none had caused this. A hidden child? Josephine loved children, no matter their birth, and hoped her friend wouldn’t conceal that sort of truth from her, when she would be glad to watch over the little one while Leliana was away. The other usual vices were equally ridiculous - Josephine simply couldn’t see a woman so driven falling into drugs or gambling or the more creative means some nobles found to fill their time.

    That left blackmail, and Josephine would have none of it.

    Summary

    - ~0~ -
    Have you ever imagined taking a road trip across the diverse landscapes of Thedas in a cozy camper van, studying and surviving in its various biomes, and unexpectedly getting recruited by the Inquisition?

    Sadly, this is the reality that I am living right now. It's been an exciting yet challenging journey as I navigate through the different regions of Thedas, encountering its inhabitants and learning about their cultures. While also being on the lookout for any threats to the Inquisition's cause. I am grateful for the unique opportunities and experiences that this journey has offered me, despite the dangers and uncertainties that accompanied it.

    However, some concerns cannot be alleviated, and certain secrets should never be exposed.

    Summary

    The Dread-Wolf did not always wander alone. He had a companion; a lover—one who walked with him to rebel and lock away the ancient Gods of Arlathan.

    As a daughter of the Forgotten Ones, Eadalas has lived her entire life in darkness. Alone and isolated in the Forgotten Ones' kingdom under the earth, she thinks she has seen every evil imaginable until Solas comes and sheds light on the plight of the slaves in Arlathan. As they grow closer, Eadalas has to make a choice, follow in the steps of her kin, the Forgotten Ones, or help Fen'harel in his plan to destroy the Gods and put up the veil. By defying her very nature, Eadalas is certain that helping him may come with a price...but is it one that she is willing to make?

    Solas was ready to give up everything to bring his plan of destruction to fruition, but can he raise the veil and free the slaves if it means hurting someone he loves?

    Based off of lore and characters from Bioware's Dragon Age franchise.

    Summary

    - This fic is meant to be a sort of what happened between Asunder and Inquisition. More tags might be added as I think of more. -

    Lungs squeezing against his ribcage, he couldn’t breathe. Dragged into a lightless ocean, sinking deeper and deeper until he was forgotten, nobody to remember him any longer.
    Cole opened his eyes and a shudder ripped through him. He was in the Fade. Again.

    NOTE (12/27/23): Will be editing the first chapter a bit. There are a few things I've noticed that aren't consistent or make much sense (to me at least)

    Summary

    Kaaras Adaar is Vashoth. The son of deserters, he has never known life under the Qun, and has no loyalty to the Qunari. Unfortunately for him, in Tevinter, they make no such distinction.

    Captured by slavers and separated from the Valo-Kas, Kaaras is bought by Magister Nera Herathinos. Beaten and nearly broken, he's soon presented to her daughter Livia and her new husband, Dorian Pavus, as a wedding gift. And so he begins his life under the yoke of the young Pavus household. His mistress is cruel, using him for her pleasure, and his master is distant from both him and his new wife.

    As Kaaras plots to use them against each other, and so gain his freedom, he begins to grow close to Dorian, and discovers that his master has nearly as little choice as he does in being there. With Dorian's aid, he may still escape — but will the mage be willing to give up everything?
