Summary
"How strange it was, to face something as daunting and wonderful as freedom and know she need not be afraid, because now, she wasn’t facing it alone."
A newly-freed Orana struggles to understand what it really means to be free. As Orana gets settled into her new life, Hawke is determined to support her every step of the way -- but the path to freedom isn't an easy one, and good intentions don't always translate to good outcomes. As Orana learns, for the first time, how to live a free life and make decisions for herself, she makes unexpected discoveries, learns new skills, and even makes some unlikely friends. This is a story about freedom, independence, friendship, and recovering from trauma.
Now featuring Fenris being broody and closed off as he tries his best not to deal with his complicated feelings about life, freedom, and most of all, Hawke.

Summary
A decade after, Kirkwall is more tolerant towards Elves, multi races and mages. Social education and the Arts are thriving. Fenris is respected as an Elite warrior alongside Aveline & Cullen, training recruits and going on missions. He takes under his wing her young niece, with blossoming power that's distinctly un-magelike.
Then Zevran Arainai shows up unannounced, needing their aid and opens a door into Fenris' heart. How will our stoic elf respond to his advances? And loads of love from his growing fanclub too :) -

Summary
He remembers their night together like it was yesterday, but she acts like it never happened.
After years living in Kirkwall, Fenris is adapted to the drumbeat of the city. He understands it as a world as complicated as his former home of Minrathous, with magic and freedom at war in its heart. In taking his freedom, he has somehow found family and friends within the City of Chains. Something that brings up conflicted and complicated emotions for one with such a scarred history. None more complicated than Hawke...but does he even deserve to feel that way after what he did?
Beginning in Act 2, this story follows the latter part of my Mage Fem Hawke and Fenris' romance. Love this broody boy...enjoy!

Summary
Fenris is a fascinating man:
He reminds her of those books her father kept in the top shelves of his study, beautiful leather painted with gold promising mysteries beyond her imagination. Just out of reach, above what her fingertips could touch no matter how her arm would strain trying. -

Summary
"Sometimes life gets in the way. But I'm still glad we met"
College was supposed to be easy. Just focus on your studies and stay under the radar. Escape the gilded cage with your chosen family (and try to keep it all hidden from your stepdad).
But when a new jock comes to town and his life, Fenris can no longer focus. Messy feelings, homophobia and friendships collide. Sometimes, all you can do is to try to hold on to things you have, even as the world crumbles around you. It doesn't help when you're getting feelings for your closeted roommate.
But life doesn't wait and in the end, Fenris walks away. Guitar slung on his back, life packed in cardboard boxes. All he's left with is a letter and a burnt CD. And a maybe.
Part one of a trilogy.

Summary
Fenris would love nothing more than to forget his past and Garret Hawke might just be the man who could help with that. He tries his best to pull away, but the gravitation just might pull him back again. Can he forget his past, or will he be swallowed by the revenge and insecurities? Only time will show.
Inspired by Danarius's words during "Alone"-questline. "Do I detect a note of jealousy? Not surprising. The lad is rather skilled, isn’t he?" Happens after Act 2's "Questioning Beliefs"-quest.
Mostly told from Fenris's POV, going through Act 2.
Warning: there will be spoilers!

Summary
The Dalish elves warn their children to stay clear of humans. Likewise, the alienages are spoken of as cursed, forbidden places no true elf should ever lay eyes on.
At just fourteen - too young even to have earned her vallaslin - Arishara Shaeri's curiosity got the better of her. She slipped into Denerim, desperate to meet her city-dwelling cousins, only to find their home overrun by Tevinter slavers. Like so many others, she was shipped off long before the Warden arrived to liberate the elves.
Years later, through the murder of her Magister, Arishara escaped Tevinter. Hunted for her crime, and knowing that capture would mean death, she fled to Kirkwall.
And Kirkwall - if nothing else - had plenty of space for the lost, the damaged, and the wanted.
(Tevinter Bound is the prequel to Mage Scorned.)

Summary
With the Viscount dead, Kirkwall is leaderless and damaged, even as it fights to keep living. Anders is fighting to keep mages living even with constant fear hanging over their heads.
It’s really not the time to be strung along by Hawke who he’s loved for years, nor is it the time to be finding comfort in an elf who couldn’t give two shits about his plight.
Anders has always had bad timing, poor judgement and a weak heart.

Summary
After Hawke helps Fenris kill his former master, Danarius, he starts to have conflicting feelings about mages. One had just helped him kill the man who tormented him his entire life–were they all truly bad, and did he include Hawke in that generalization? He knew he loved her, but did he love what she was?
A short story of struggling with conflicting emotions, a torrent of love, and the affection of a mage.
Partial rewrites of Act III quests “Alone” and “Questioning Beliefs” included.

Summary
Dead.
Anders was sure he was dead when he could formulate thoughts again. He tried to focus on small things, like his arms for instance which felt uncomfortably numb but slowly, so slowly feeling came back to him and with it pain that danced across every muscle that made him wish he was dead.
He debated on just laying here and accepting whatever fate fell upon him but the sudden incessant jabbing in his side forced him to crack his eyelids open. Immediate regret washed over him just like the nausea from the intrusion of the vague shapes in front of his eyes.
Another sharp jab forced his vision to clear slightly which was met with a very unimpressed and slightly bloody Fenris, who had his foot shoved into his side.
“Dont tell me im stuck with you in death too.”
“What? Dont be ridiculous, get up we need to find Hawke.” Fenris squinted at him through the low lighting and dust that whipped around them before crawling down the sloped debri Anders was precariously laying upon.
A simple excursion into the mountains turns into an inescapable mess when a cave collapse forces Fenris and Anders to rely on one another to make it home.

A rewrite of my older abadoned fic "We are more than how the world sees us".
