Summary
The Hero of Ferelden was a Dalish elf who gave his life in the fight against the archdemon in 9:32 Dragon. Monuments were erected in his name, a tomb built for him in the hallowed halls of Weisshaupt, and his people were given the Brecilian forest. But that isn’t the whole story.
Warden-Commander Duncan arrived in Ostagar with eight recruits. Five survived the Joining. The four left standing after Denerim - the Prince, the Noble, the Rogue, and the Healer - will all say the same thing: Theron Mahariel ended the Fifth Blight.
The truth is far more complicated.
Duncan did not recruit her. There was no Joining. She could neither hear the archdemon’s siren song or sense its disciples. Oaths to the Grey Wardens were never sworn, yet without the Healer, the Fifth Blight would not have ended.
Born an Amell and raised a Cousland, Elona knew about duty–to family, to country, to suffering. When the king called for mages to aid in the Battle of Ostagar, she was newly Harrowed and eager to join. What she did not expect to find was a purpose that would reshape her life.

One of the best fics I've seen to really delve into politics and into Anders' head. What a loveletter and gorgeous playing out of Dragon Age politics into something that is gorgeously plausible and beautifully plotted out!!! Just absolutely stunning work.

Summary
“I was a glorified prisoner of the state, Dorian. He – all of them – are drug-addled slaves to it. I’m sure they could have become different people, long ago, but the Chantry took that future from them the moment they were dosed with lyrium," Cora says with disgust.
“I could say the same of you, you know,” Dorian says. “Indeed I have done, of all southern mages. But we find ourselves here, now, bent toward the same end. I suppose we’ve all been given the chance to choose our better selves, haven’t we?”
“Yes,” Cora sighs. “I suppose we have.”

Summary
“Cora,” he says, and she feels the calloused pads of his fingers on her chin before he turns her head to face him. His smile is soft, but the creases at his eyes and faint flush on his cheeks betray utter pleasure behind it. “Are you proposing that we live together? Properly?”
She lets out a breath that she hadn’t realized she was holding. “Yes.”
“I would like that very much,” he replies, smile broadening. “Very, very much.” And then his lips are on hers, and she is melting against him with relief and joy and the not-unpleasant trepidation that comes with taking a leap into the unknown.

Summary
Valriel Lavellan was an apostate mage of the Dalish Lavellan clan. She was sent as a spy to the Andrastian conclave, in which her Keeper predicted there to be a world-altering event. How right she was, when the Temple of Sacred Ashes exploded, causing a hole in the sky that connected the dreaming realm to the waking world.
Valriel was the lone survivor of the explosion and gained a power that would help her save the world from being swallowed by demons. She agreed to help the newly reborn Inquisition, though stubborn and reluctant. Known as the Herald of Andraste, she was tasked to bring the warring mages and Templars together while investigating what, or who, had opened the Breach in the first place
Cullen Rutherford was the commander of the Inquisition, a Knight-Captain who belonged to the Templar order in Kirkwall. Though he left the Order behind, he could not forget his training and his years of service , for better or for worse. Much to his dismay, he was tasked with the challenge of watching over the Herald of Andraste, a wild mage that wanted nothing to do with the organization, and especially him.

Summary
Being a Warden is easy...All one has to do is survive a super secret ritual. Then fight a horde of darkspawn (and possibly an Archdemon) to destroy the Blight. See, easy.
Now, throw in a touch of romance and what do you have?
Well, to be frank, Alistair has no idea. He's just trying to get from one day to the next without completely blowing his chances with the new Warden he's supposed to be looking after. Luckily, he's a smooth guy...right?

Summary
Circles always removed the marks of their Mages. It was too dangerous to allow them to keep them, they rationalized. It gave them hope and hope was dangerous. Hope that one day they would be free of their prisons and allowed to love.
But soulmarks couldn’t be erased so easily. Fate was funny like that. Any time someone was healed the mark would return, and if they were never healed it was only a matter of time before fate took the reins and fixed the mark itself.
So every so often the mages would have to line up and get their marks re-removed.
The brand was not the first scar they’d earned at the gallows. Fate was cruel like that.

Summary
Orsino has survived the fight in the Gallows. Now he must aid his people in escaping the wrecked city, with Hawke's help, while Hawke must decide what to do with her life going in pieces. Their two paths are inextricably joined.
*
« The Commander kept heaping burdens upon burdens on my back; it is a miracle that I didn’t snap under the weight. She hoped I would, certainly. They all hoped I would. We all have only so much strength to keep going — the sudden and brave battle is easier to win or lose than the long, wearing stalemate. And that is what my life has been, from the moment I stepped into the First Enchanter role. An impasse. But I cannot set it aside, neither the slow losing fight nor the burden. Rare is the person who could bear to be so untethered, even after all is said and done. »- Language:
