    Summary

    Rook was raised to be a weapon. First by the slavers who stole her, then by the Crows who sharpened her into something useful. She has been many things—mage, assassin, runaway—but never truly her own. Now, the world is breaking, and she is standing at its fault line, forced to make choices she never thought would be hers to make.

    What does a weapon do when no one is left to wield it?

    Summary

    Whispers of demons have plagued the Bohemian countryside for years, lurking in old mining pits and beneath castles. Henry of Skalitz never put much stock in such stories, that is, until now. When they are faced with a creature from the very bowels of hell, Henry and Hans find themselves very much out of their depth. A rift in the fade and a power beyond their comprehension pulls them out of the world they know and into a strange new dimension. How will the two companions from Rattay handle their sudden transition to the world of magic and monsters that is Thedas?

    Summary

    How far the Inquisition has come since their defeat at the hands of the Elder One in Haven. The Herald delivered back by near miraculous means has shouldered the mantle of Inquisitor. A new stronghold found in the stone walls of Skyhold. Beyond their fortress, the Inquisition’s reach has grown. The Templars of Therinfal and The Mage Rebellion allied. The threat upon the Empress of Orlais stopped.

    Returning from Halamshiral, the Inquisition arrives to find its stronghold under siege. Enraged at yet another foiling of his plans, the Elder One has sent a force to hamstring the Inquisition at Skyhold. Commander Cullen Stanton Rutherford leads our heroes into battle to once again fight to protect their people. The worst of lyrium withdrawal behind him, the demon that had haunted his steps quelled, will he finally be able to rise anew as the man he was meant to be?

    Lieutenant-Commander of the Reformed Mage-Templar Battalion and Fadewalker, Meira Neria Lavellan, twin to the Inquisitor, is so close to seeing her hopes realized. But will she let the darkness haunting her prevent her from gaining them?

    Summary

    9:43 Dragon. A year has passed since Corypheus’ defeat. The Breach and its Rifts are nothing but recent memories. Yet the Inquisition’s power keeps on growing. In a bid to control this, the Chantry summons Inquisitor Lavellan to the trial she was promised - back in that prison cell in Haven - but never received. Ashara always knew the Divine would not suffer a Dalish apostate to have such influence for long. Quite frankly, she is surprised she was left alone as long as she has been. Unfortunately, that resigned understanding does not make saying goodbye any easier.

    Summary

    "The sickening sensation of magic that should never had existed filled her and Kai tried to hold on. The world around her was unmade. With a crack and an impact of changing pressure, she fell backwards out of a rift in time into a snow drift. A second, far greater crack echoed around her. After a disorienting moment, she shook the snow out of her hair and recognized her surroundings; the Frostback mountains above the valley of Haven, 9:41 Dragon. Overhead, a pillar of sickly green light shot into the sky. "
    -
    They failed. The Veil fell and Old Gods stalked the world. Driven to the brink, Kai Lavellan tries one last desperate ploy; go back in time and stop Fen'Harel before he could destroy the world. The Inquisition would march, she would march with them.

    Summary

    Spoiler warning: contains full Dragon Age lore!
    This story does not aim to retell the epic you already know.
    The events of Dragon Age: Inquisition serve only as a frame, an excuse to unfold another tale within the tale.
    This story explores the making of the Herald of Andraste’s myth, guided by an elf who embodies the legend of Fen’Harel.

    Summary

    After witnessing Solas's journey end in sorrow, a spirit manifests in Thedas, taking the form of the fallen Lavellan when the Conclave is destroyed. With the Inquisition rising, she resolves to walk among mortals, not just to aid them, but to alter the course of history gently. Her deepest wish is to love Solas and give him the happiness he has long been denied.

    ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦

    This is a novelized retelling of Dragon Age: Inquisition, blending canon with new, original scenes. At its heart is a slow-burn Solavellan romance, full of longing, tenderness, and the question of how love might reshape fate.

    Fen'Harel enansal.

    Summary

    When Keeper Deshana of Clan Lavellan gets word of the mage rebellion meeting with the chantry, she believes it is in her best interest to send two Dalish to observe the results. El'Assan and Era'Leth are selected to undertake what they believe to be a simple journey, but when the Conclave explodes, both of their fates are changed forever. Now, not only working with but leading a small army, the girls must reevaluate where they fit in the world and what their future holds.

    Co-Written with my best friend, Elven_Royalty, who just joined Ao3. We each switch off from chapter to chapter in order to write from our own OCs perspectives as they progress through the game. All game dialogue will be included in some form or another, but we will also work to expand on the characters and the world itself.

    Summary

    “How could I refute the wisdom of the Dread Wolf?” she sneered. “You’ve survived, seen it all, and I am but an inconsequent rat to your greater scheme.”

    “A rat can go places wolves and dragons cannot. So can spiteful seeds.” His lips set in thoughtful poise before mirroring her frown, “I am less interested in a title for this tale than those given to the characters—they call me the Dread Wolf, what will they call you when this is over?”

    ~
    or:
    The Inquisition sends a nobody-elf back in time to stop the Dread Wolf. Steal his orb, prevent the Breach, and snatch anything else of significance along the way. But this is Thedas, where everything goes wrong.

    Summary

    Cole had given her the idea, in a roundabout way. He said something about Varric writing letters, “only the one response he really wants is from a letter he’ll never get to send.”

    And that got Lavellan thinking. She did, after all, have the ability to open a miniature kind of rift and send smaller demons and creatures back into the fade, from whence most of them came. So what if she could send other things, too? 

    Like, just for example you see, a letter?

    Summary

    Calivan,
    The other wardens don't want to go near that Crow's cell anymore. Can't we get someone else to do it? Slaves, maybe?
    – Ovidius

    Ovidius,
    You are fortunate. A new shipment of slaves has arrived from Tevinter. One among them has already proven… difficult. I have no patience for insolence. If she survives feeding our little Crow, perhaps she will learn obedience. If not, then she serves her purpose as carrion.
    Either way, you will not have to soil your hands with this duty again.
    —Calivan

    –––––

    Prisoners AU
    Or what if Rook had been captured, enslaved, and dragged into the Ossuary? What if there, in the heart of that underwater prison, she came face-to-face with the Crows’ deadliest mage-killer Lucanis Dellamorte, possessed by a Demon of Spite?

    A tale of survival, corruption, and defiance, where freedom has a price and vengeance might be the only light left in the deep.
