Once Called Home by EpiphanyJones
Fandoms: Dragon Age: Inquisition, Dragon Age - All Media Types
28 Sep 2025

Summary
For over a year, branded by the Fade and beset at all sides by the end of the world, the Inquisitor had done the impossible day in and day out. It had honed the edge of the women beneath the title even as it chipped away at her. It had spurred her feet forward and bent her slender back. And it wasn’t until her final victory faded from sight behind her that she realized she no longer knew who she was without its weight.
In the wake of Corypheus's defeat, the Inquisitor remains while all else sifts through her fingers like sand. The gnawing ache of Solas's abandonment remains, but there is something beyond that hollowing her days. One question haunts her: in a changed world, where does she belong?

Summary
Ten years after Fen'Harel swore to tear down the Veil that he himself had created, Varric reaches out a hand to Solas at the very end of the line—and Solas, standing on the knife's edge of regret and loss and guilt and duty, takes it. But that is not an end, it turns out, and in the aftermath of the pyrrhic victory Ruhi Aldwir finds all eyes on her.
The price of your success here is more hardship.
I'm sorry.

Summary
Lavellan clenched her teeth.
Her whole body trembled, her muscles locking against the current of raw Fade twisting through her.
She felt like she was being burned from the inside out, and all she could do was hold on.
The rift buckled.

Summary
Every story has a beginning, middle, and end - woven through time, the Dread Wolf shaped the world with his own. From it, a lot of guilt took shape along the way. But there is one elf who might never become part of those murals of regrets: Inquisitor Lavellan. The one who will save the world - either by saving him, or by killing him.
Or: what happens with Lavellan while Rook tries to stop Solas?
[I tried to stay as close to canon as possible, though I did take a few liberties to support the lore. This contains major spoilers for Inquisition and Veilguard, so read with caution! The Inquisitor is my Lavellan, which may differ from how you imagined your own.]

Summary
Kiera, a witty elf who spent her life pursuing knowledge, living the joys of the forest, and in line to be the Keeper's first when life completely flipped upside down, losing everything. She was banished from her clan, forced out of Arlathan and down into gritty Ferelden with its backward views on magic, and right into the Wardens, which was never what she wanted. At least she had the enigmatic witch and her companions to keep her company during the long year. It wasn't a life she envisioned, but it was what she had, and she would at least enjoy it while she could, even if she was constantly being whacked by Morrigan's staff.
Growing up in the Circle, Amelia lived a repressed life. She'd always been one to help those close to her, which is how she ended up with the Wardens and by Kiera's side. She was fairly certain that if it wasn't for her guidance, her best friend would certainly make some wild decisions. She was the oddest mage the woman had ever seen. Amelia was one to keep to herself and stay in the background, which, being taller than most people, was sometimes difficult. For all the anxieties she had, there was one thing that could keep her grounded: the beautiful bard who warmed her bedroll each night.

For Vieras Lavellan, having an explicit dream of any man would be enough of an issue on its own. But when the man he dreams of belongs to the class that has done more harm to the elves than anyone except the Chantry, it's quite something else entirely.

Summary
“A horse is not your style,” Ennaly said, keeping her voice casual, trying to ignore this new feeling inside her, as Solas supported her. “A halla, perhaps?”
“How about a wyvern?”
“No – I know, a wolf!” Ennaly decided.
“A wolf?” Solas repeated, surprised.
“Yes, that’s more your style. Isn’t that what you’re wearing around your neck, the jawbone?”
A few seconds passed before he replied. “That is true.”
She smiled to herself at his almost reluctant confirmation. “So, we agree. A wolf, then.”***
After initially dismissing him as too proud, Ennaly slowly grows closer towards Solas, and for a moment… he seems interested. But when a spark starts to grow in her, he seems to disregard her again. Wasn't he here to help her understand everything more instead of less? If only Solas was more in tune with her.(Or, a re-interpretation that extends the canon and fills in the gaps.)

Summary
I grandi eroi esistono per sconfiggere grandi nemici e pericoli mortali. E se il confine fra eroe e mostro non fosse così evidente? Se l'eroe non sapesse contro cosa realmente combatte? Se il nemico fosse convinto di essere un eroe?
E se il nemico più pericoloso fosse l'eroe pronto a combattere per la propria giusta causa a dispetto di tutto il resto?
Una storia può essere raccontata da diversi punti di vista. Questa storia ne presenta due. Due potenziali eroi. Due potenziali mostri. Distinguere l'uno dall'altro potrebbe essere più difficile di quanto si pensi. -
