    Summary

    Before there was a Hero of Fereldan, there was a Circle Mage.

    (or; the 11 years my Surana lived in Kinloch hold, how she comes to perceive The Circle of Magi and the oppression of Mages, and my personal headcanons on Circle life and the social dynamics within it)

    Summary

    В Казематах ситуация накаляется день ото дня, и Каллен принимает неожиданное решение прийти со своими противоречиями к магу, которого знает со времен ферелденского Круга.
    Фенриса терзают застарелый гнев и боль, засевшая в его теле. Но есть что-то в его прошлом, о чем не знает даже Данариус, а сам эльф не может вспомнить.
    Киркволл — это город, где каждый лелеет свою непоколебимую веру в цель или идею. Но так ли они важны, когда реальность разносит их вдребезги?

    Summary

    Summary

    Overhaul under way: mostly title updates. Prior work title was "Sweat and Smoke," which is now the title of Chapter 2.

    A head cannon fix for the most frustrating repeatable cutscene in Dragon Age: Inquisition for the Cullenmanced.

    Officially my first smut.

    EDIT: I reached a good ending place and then my brain wanted more plot to happen?! I have half a plan, but am wondering whether folks would like this to continue. Give a holler if you have an opinion.

    P.S. I'm always going back to fix little typos or phrases I'm unhappy with. I have no chill.

    Summary

    Being trapped in another world is a hell of a thing.

    You learn a lot about yourself. Who you really are, deep down inside. What lines you'll cross to stay alive, to try and get home. Who you think you can trust, who you think you love. Just how many lies you'll be willing to tell to keep your secrets. How much blood you're willing to shed.

    I shed a lot of it, in Kirkwall, and I've spent seven years in purgatory as a result. Seven years trapped somewhere beyond reality, but not quite in the Fade. My only company myself, and a Desire Demon just as unhappy with the situation as I am. Oh. And... an Elven Goddess, I suppose.

    Kind of hard to forget about her, since she's the one giving the orders now. Giving me the truth of how I ended up in Thedas, why I ended up there, and just what she expects me to do now that the Inquisition has begun. Can't say I'm happy about any of it, or that I'm about to actually follow her orders.

    But then... I'm not sure how much of a choice I'll have.

    Summary

    Katheryn Trevelyan is an accomplished and headstrong mage, with an affinity for fire magic and an icy exterior. When a twist of fate puts her in the middle of a world shattering conflict, she has no choice but to join forces with the newly formed Inquisition and save the continent from certain doom. A task that includes dealing with one Cullen Rutherford, a former templar with an ill-fated past and an understandable unease around magic.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    (A retelling of Dragon Age Inquisition through the eyes of my mage Trevelyan Inquisitor)

    Summary

    “This world will try and take your spirit. It will make you hard as ice if you let it. Don’t, my girl. You need to be the light when all other lights go out.”

    Evelyn doesn’t hate Templars on principle, but it's ridiculous that this one has her feeling like a lovesick trainee, despite her being the only hope Thedas has of closing the breach and stopping a would-be god from destroying all they know. Cullen, on the other hand, can't understand how a mage of a fallen circle can be so kind to him when he doesn't know how to be kind to himself.

    Courtship would be far easier if it wasn't for the small matter of saving the world.

    Summary

    Rook wasn't entirely certain why anyone thought her qualified for any of this, but like so much in her life there wasn't anyone else doing the work. One might think that a lyrium knife embedded in your gut as you bleed all over your arch nemesis, in a last ditch attempt to save the world, might buy you some shining moment of clarity about it all before the end.

    Instead, Rook reflected, she was attempting to work forbidden blood magic she'd sworn she'd never touch - entirely on the fly at that. The Veil would hold, whatever it took.

    It was a good death. A shame she woke a decade in the past, totally deprived of it.

    Summary

    ___
    “Would you untie me, sir?” she asked, her voice small, made braver only by his unexpected kindness.

    He had crossed a line. He shouldn’t have come here.

    “No.”
    ___

    Lady Trevelyan wasn’t at the Conclave when it was destroyed. Instead, she was on the frontlines of the mage rebellion, fighting in Redcliffe after escaping the oppressive Circle in Kirkwall.

    But now, whispers have spread of a young elf leading the Inquisition—and the mages are being called to join the cause. For Lady Trevelyan, this means an unavoidable reunion with the one man she vowed to never face again: Sir Cullen Rutherford, the Templar who broke her heart and ignited her rage.

    (Instead of being the inquisitor, a female Trevelyan plays a smaller role that brings her close to Cullen, while Lavellan leads the charge. For all of those that prefer a Solavellan as the canon world state for that needed angst, but also hold a soft spot for Cullen. Basically lets have our cake and eat it too.)

    Summary

    “I only invoked the Right of Conscription for the templar’s benefit,” she continued, cold, and blunt, and more unfathomable than ever. “I won’t hold you to it. If you want to walk away right now, I’ll let you. I’ll even help you be on your way.”

    Anders joins the Grey Wardens. But more importantly, he joins the girl from the Circle who has forged herself into tempered steel.

    Summary

    Apothecary work doesn't change the world. Well, more specifically, apothecary work doesn’t change the fate of Thedas.

    At least it shouldn’t.

    Anneliese is a particularly untalented mage –who honestly barely qualifies as one– with a love for botany and a hatred for fantasy in a world bursting with both.

    MGIT for those who love when Thedas trips and curb stomps our otherworldly travelers… and then maybe Thedas will give them a little kiss on the head before leaving them in the gutter.

     

    WARNING: There is going to be a good chunk of this story in parts of Thedas with no main cast. I’m like a cat kneading my bed to make it all comfy, in this case the kneading is writing a lot of pre-main game chapters. What I’m attempting to give is a Thedas experience, some real grit in your eye content to make you feel like you're really being beat up by a fantasy world (With a Solas ship because I love drama and problems, always).

    Summary

    "I thought I wasn't to be watched by templars," said Anders without any greeting or preamble.

    Which did surprisingly nothing to ruffle the seeker. No, Cassandra did not appear all that put out yet. If anything she seemed to have expected this protest, or as her slight judgemental frown indicated, she had more accurately expected this tantrum. "Guard Langlois is not a templar," she said with a nod to the young man.

    "Ah, that makes it alright then," Anders rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. "It's a detail and you know it."

    A sigh. Cassandra visibly clenched her jaw, then spoke as though what she had to say next was scorching her tongue. "Varric advised it."

    _
    The Inquisition gets off to a rough start while Anders gets to know the inhabitants of Haven.
    It all goes as well as can be expected.

    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.
