Description:

The confessors were created long ago by Tevinter magisters bent on harnessing the power of love to enslave others to their will. Now, centuries later, there are only a handful left.

Marian Hawke is one of them. With a single touch, she can bind a person completely to her will. The only problem? She can't turn it off. Her power means that she can never be intimate with someone without confessing them-thereby destroying who they are.

She thinks she's made peace with that. Then she meets Isabela.

She knows from the start that nothing can happen between them, but that doesn't stop her from falling in love with the rakish pirate-and Isabela is less than subtle in her own attraction. A lifetime of practice gives Marian the strength to resist Isabela's persistent advances, but given enough pressure, even the strongest walls can crack.

To make matters worse, her power brands her as dangerous as a maleficar. While Kirkwall edges closer to chaos, Marian must endure heartbreak and loss, all while keeping her power a secret from the templars who rule the city. Along the way she will learn whether she truly has a place in this world-and if there's room for anyone beside her.

Notes:

Written for Wave Two of the Dragon Age Big Bang. Check out the awesome art created for the story by amaranthined on Tumblr.

This story borrows a concept from Legend of the Seeker/The Sword of Truth book series by Terry Goodkind. It's not necessary to be familiar with the TV series or the books in order to follow the story, however. Also, it was initially inspired by a prompt on the Dragon Age Kink Meme.
