    Summary

    What if "Dragon Age: The Veilguard" was not stuck in such a development hell? What if Project Joplin had not wholly been abandoned? What if we truly had received a game more in line with the first three?

    A hypothetical look into an alternate universe where the fourth Dragon Age had a tad fewer problems in its 10-year development cycle.

    Disclaimer: I don't hate the game, I actually think it's quite great given the development hell Bioware went through in those 10 years. This is more of a hypothetical universe where there was less of that behind-the-scenes drama. Just a fun writing exercise.

    Summary

    Rumors have circled around Nevarra about a mage who can cure all ailments.

    For a price.

    Adopted into clan Morlyn after a tragedy that occurred during the Breach in Dragon 9:41, Viera Aldwir would do anything to keep her new family safe and well. When a mysterious illness spreads throughout the clan she has no choice but to seek the aid of the enigmatic mage deep within Planasene Forest.

    The looming question: is she actually willing to do anything, even if it means losing her freedom?

    Summary

    My head canon on my Rook, Gemma de Riva, known in Treviso as Viago's Canary. She's a Crow elf who knew the Dellamortes in the past and can hear the whispers of the spirits in the Fade all the time. This is a long-fic, following the plot of the game, focusing on character interactions between quests. I love a main character with a supporting cast in all things.

    THERE IS AN IMMEDIATE SPOILER in the first paragraph if you have not finished the game.

    Summary

    Their resistance was starting to come together, she thought. She didn’t need an army or spies, even though it would be nice, what she needed was a network, and the people that had already saved Thedas once before were stepping up to help her save it again.

    ~

    She leaned her head against his chest, listening to the sound of his heart pounding beneath her cheek. She wanted to memorise the feeling, the sound, in case the mission went sideways. She hated herself for what she was about to ask him to do. “Ar isalan na to gara galin tor vis min goes telam.” I need you to get everyone out if this goes wrong.

    ~

    I really wanted to expand on the feeling of regrets and how Solas uses that to manipulate Rook into taking his place. The consequences of Rook's choices will be featured and explored. I intend to recount the game and fill in some gaps, reintroduce lore from the old games and add scenes I thought were missing, like breaks after major missions (HELLO, ROMANCED COMPANION DURING PRISON OF REGRETS). It's as lore-accurate as possible to the old games, but I have taken some liberties. Characters from old games will have bigger roles to play. Rated E for eventual smut.

    Summary

    in which a pragmatic-as-always rook convinces solas to let her help him escape his prison when he won’t stop visiting her dreams.

    His voice was raw, cracking with each shout that echoed and rattled through her brain. She was almost certain it was her name that he called. There was a current of anger, tinged with agony, lacing his words, and she was almost certain he was saying something else, almost positive. Something other than her name.

    He was speaking, pleading it seemed, but all she could focus on was her name, like a mantra, in the most broken cacophony of prayers.

    Summary

    “If you are all so bothered by my bed—”

    “It’s a couch,” Neve pointed out.

    “ — MY BED,” Rook said pointedly, “then make a collection! Buy me a bed! In Minrathous! We will bring it aaaaall the way from the other end of the fucking Crossroads. Let’s try to fight all those venatori and darkspawn while carrying it, yes?”

    By some mysterious reason, no one brought up again getting Rook a bed. For that morning, at least.

    Rook is hiding something about his past and it isn't just his real name. After a long battle, he takes the Veilguard crew to his childhood home. Something ominous lurks in the Mercar Manor, but Rook won't open up. The magic is so thick in the air it makes Lucanis's skin crawl. Will Rook reveal his dark secrets or let his team suffer the consequences of his mistakes?

    Summary

    Ten years after the Inquisitor closed the Breach, Solas puts his plan into action to tear down the Veil. Members of the former Inquisition are there to stop him, including rookie, Ness Ingellvar. Genevieve Lavellan's dreams are full of cryptic questions and symbols, and she makes her way north to play a more active role in saving Solas from himself. The Dread Wolf, meanwhile, is trapped in the Fade, forced to interact with the waking world through Rook until he can resume his path to contrition. Ness tries to juggle the two estranged lovers while building a team in order to defeat escaped Elvhen gods Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain--and possibly Solas.

    Veilguard but with more involvement from my Inquisitor. Heavy on the Solavellan. My Rook will appear, and she romanced Davrin, so a little bit of that. Will probably tag as I go. Ideally I want to stick to the periphery of the story, like stuff we don't explicity see in-game, and this'll probably (definitely) get canon-divergent. Not much is planned; I'm just following the skeleton of the game and doing whatever I want with it!

    Summary

    After spending a decade stuck in Thedas, you'd think Emma had already hit the limit on lifetime regrets. When she finally manages to track Solas down, however, she finds out there's always room for more regrettable life choices. Solas might be safely contained in Fade Jail, but she’s just unleashed two all-powerful megalomaniacal bastards in his place. As if that wasn’t bad enough, Solas now has a permanent visiting room inside her head, Varric’s stuck on long-term bedrest, and she’s been out of the Inquisiting game for long enough to have essentially zero political power, meaning she’s operating entirely on goodwill and vibes.

    Still, it’s not all bad. She’s got a new gang of friends ready and willing to help her put those dicks back in their box, a fancy new base of operations, and a pretty knife that’s a certified god-killer. Between them, they can get the job done. Probably. Stabbing two gods with a piece of cutlery will almost certainly be easier than working through her feelings for the hot Crowbomination she’s just hired, anyway. Who's a better match for a mage than a renowned mage-killer, right? (Possibly she's still on the bad choices train)

    Summary

    Lucanis wanted one thing out of life, and that was to make good coffee. Unfortunately, the circumstances of his birth demanded that he kill people for money.
    Rook was in love with the baristo at Cafe Pietra. Unfortunately, she didn't even know his name.
    ...
    Set mainly in Treviso, Rook is a college student with a crush on the local baristo at her favorite cafe. Little does she know, he's actually a master assassin--one who might just be able to help her prevent the university from shutting down the exchange program that keeps her from being sent back to Minrathous.
    (Alternative plotline, kind of a coffee shop AU that plays with elements of canon later on.)

    Summary

    "I can almost see what he sees in you. You're young, quite beautiful for a knife-ear, and you have done admirably well in your fight against the gods. But hear me when I say this." She stepped closer, now holding Wilhelmina's chin between her fragile hand, the elder woman looking down into her eyes. "You, dear child, are nothing. You carry no name. No legacy. Not even the dignity of a proper birth. A death mage that was discarded in the dark until someone decided to claim you out of misplaced pity. You are a passing fancy - a crypt child. Nothing more."

    -

    Or; Six months after the defeat of the Evanuris, Lucanis decides to properly introduce Rook to Caterina and it turns into another episode of the telenovela that is Lucanis' life.

    Summary

    Ithelan Aldwir has always been good with his hands. Good enough to receive recognition that has brought him to a brief party in Nevarra where he runs into the private celebrity professor Emmrich Volkarin. What was expected to be a few meetings of casual sex of course evolves into deeper feelings and, maybe Volkarin feels the same way...

    Who are we joking? Of course he does! But Ithelan doesn't know that yet.
