Summary
Ella Cousland only ever wanted the freedom to choose how she'd live her life. That choice was taken from her the night her parents were murdered and her home destroyed. Promised to the Grey Wardens in exchange for her life, Ella finds herself right in the center of the Fifth Blight as a leader gathering an army to face the Archdemon. She's not quite sure she's capable of accomplishing it, but finds unexpected strength in her fellow Warden, Alistair.

Summary
Fantasy of a self-ordained future haunts Theda in daydreams, even as the walls of a noble's obligations close in on her. Backstabbing politics, advantageous marriage, planning banquets and raising heirs. Anything else was pure imagination.
Until a strange guest of her father comes claiming to seek Ser Gilmore's aid for his elite order on the eve that Arl Howe arrives to join their companies to form a division for the war in the South. This Duncan, held in high esteem by the Teyrn, seems unimpressed with Theda's squandered potential. She wonders idly if she'd spent more time in the armoury instead of the drawing room, he'd have done more than laugh at the idea of conscripting her. For it was laughable, and a strange, lone thought from Ser Gilmore.
She was to protect the line of succession for Highever behind her brother with a solid marriage to a noble of respectable standing, that was that.

Summary
Pounding. Witseck groaned as he felt a hand shaking him, holding his head as he felt the pounding throughout his skull. His eyes fluttered open to see Leske leaned over him, holding a bottle of mosswine. “Falling asleep on me, duster?”
Witseck looked at him in confusion, glancing around the familiar nook they always sat in together. What was happening? The images of a life outside the walls of Orzammar seemed so… real. But if he’d woken up there with Leske… how could they be real? On the other hand, dwarves don’t dream, so how could they not?

Summary
A gangster, a princess and a spy walk into a bar, and the bartender says ...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sokkal Brosca is a casteless duster — criminal scum born of criminal scum — the last of Orzammar.
Ywca Aeducan is princess of blood — heroine born of heroes — the first of Orzammar.
They are opposites, fates carved in Stone and written in the lyrium ink of the Shapers.
Until they meet in the Provings. Until they are slashed by betrayal.
A duster vindicated, a princess exiled — they leave for the surface to face the Blight.
Sister Leliana is a hidden figure on the chess board. Guided by faith, she joins the Wardens—to help build bridges—so that the world continues.

Summary
Resurrected from the depths of FF.net and ancient Ao3!
Part One of Mages and Lovers, events from the timeline of Dragon Age:Origins and Awakening (9:30-9:31 Dragon). Protagonists from later series’ will make appearances.
Temene Surana, a newly Harrowed elven mage finds herself thrust into a completely new life when she is recruited into the Grey Wardens as the Fifth Blight begins. She meets a kindred spirit in the Wardens, Alistair, whose sheltered and lonely upbringing is much like her own. They fall in love as they try to find allies to keep the country of Ferelden from being consumed by the darkspawn, but there is no promise of a happy ending for the pair even if they can manage to end the Blight.
At the same time, Lene Hawke, an apostate mage from the small village of Lothering finds herself on the run with her family, fleeing the aforementioned Blight. By chance or perhaps intentional fate, they meet a powerful ally who helps them escape across the sea to the Free Marches city of Kirkwall. Things in the City of Chains are little better for the lovelorn redhead, as she is forced into indentured servitude to pay off her families entrance into the city.

Summary
Duncan returns to Ostagar with a new recruit, a young man from Lothering, spared from the hangman's noose after he helped his apostate siblings escape the Chantry and Templars. Carver Hawke has always longed for a purpose, and a cause worth fighting for. What better way to carve his name into the annals of history, than by becoming a legendary Grey Warden and helping Ferelden win the battle against the Blight right there at Ostagar.
Of course...it doesn't really go to plan.
(AU where Carver Hawke is recruited as the Warden and a great many things change. Romances undecided for now...open to suggestions!)

Summary
A mother is supposed to feel certain of her love for her child. Fiona was only certain that her child didn't deserve to be burdened with a ruined Grey Warden for a mother, and an absent King for a father. Her future in question she journeys to Denerim to present King Maric with their child, and ensure that the babe never know the truth of his parentage.

Summary
Wysandria Surana was not supposed to become a Warden. Wysandria Surana was supposed to be made tranquil, but a split-second stop on the way down from Highever may simply change everything, for all of Ferelden. Fionnuala Cousland takes a little of Duncan's patience for her own and allows the stop on her way to her brother, gains an ally, and then loses her just as quickly. Whether two small decisions change anything or everything or nothing at all they can't quite know.
A shameless, self-indulgent AU where Duncan recruits two Wardens, Cailin lives, and Loghain still gets his ass handed to him - eventually.

Bequest of Blood and Spirit by Karmic Acumen (Karmic_Acumen)

Summary
Narcissism, Machiavellianism, Psychopathy. There is no world, anywhere, where the Dark Triad makes for a good leader. It can make someone very driven and effective at obtaining and keeping power, but only at the expense of everyone and everything else. Competence does not excuse evil, it only makes its damage worse, no matter what propaganda and revisionist history likes to say. In a world where everyone else up to the gods themselves is living with blinders on, a middle brother makes the only decision that makes sense.

Summary
"Your Harrowing is tomorrow, isn't it?"
"Hm? Oh, that thing? I suppose it is." She cannot muster the energy to be as concerned about this as everyone wants her to be, even as the chantry maiden's fingertips clench gently around her skin.
"Are you truly so unbothered?" A scoff of indignation. "You could die, you know?"
"Either I fail and I die in the Fade or I succeed and spend the rest of my life locked away in a tower. Somehow both outcomes sound wholly unappealing to me."
--------
"Duncan's gone."
The way his voice trembles around those words makes her heart ache something fierce. She knows. She knows this agony. The agony of losing a loved one. And she knows there's nothing she can do to ease the pain. Nothing she can say that erases the loss. All she can do is stand beside him.
"The king... the Grey Wardens... they're all gone..."
All she can do is stand beside him as the world falls apart and hope the two of them will be enough to put it back together.
"I'm so sorry, Alistair. We'll get through this, somehow. I promise."
-------
Or, the story of a mage that finds a future for herself at the end of the world.
