A Crow’s Ballad by Wine_and_Dragons

Summary
Calliope “Rook” de Riva is many things: snarky, chaotic, and a little awkward. In other words, she’s not the best crow, but when stopping Solas’ ritual releases two blighted gods, it didn’t matter if she was a good Crow. Instead, Rook now has to figure out how to stop two dangerous ancient elves, deal with one bald-headed asshole, learn to lead a team, carry her own emotional baggage, and figure out her growing feelings for a certain broody Crow.

Summary
"We are looking for a Mother of the Chantry," Cassandra explained before the others could reject Solas' overture. "Her name is Mother Giselle. She contacted us. Told us to meet her on the outskirts of Redcliffe, where the refugees have settled in numbers."
Unfortunately, the man who had first threatened them was the one to respond. "Pfah! You truly think we would give any answer to you lot? You're no refugees."
"Perhaps you will," the seeker persisted, "to the Inquisition."
A rather loaded silence followed.
"The Inquisition? From the prints dropped by those crows?" They faintly heard a woman wonder.
The sound of conversations came to them in mumbles and mutters. Clearly, more than two people were gathered behind the palissade.
At least they knew of them. He'd have to remember to thank Leliana and Josephine for this later.

Summary

But Thedas had other plans.

Learning to navigate the politics of impossible countries, leadership and saving the world was one thing. Figuring out who she was when everything she believed about herself turned out to be wrong is quite another.

Summary
The Conclave has been destroyed, the Divine murdered. Thedas is reeling, from the Breach, from invading demons and from despair.
Whilst there was still hope, in the form of an unknown woman who seemed to be able to heal the rifts, was she truly a Herald for Andraste? How could she be a messenger from the Maker, when she couldn’t say a word?
With too many nicknames and disgusted grunts to count, this is a retelling of the Dragon Age Inquisition story, with a very different Herald.

Summary
Dain Cadash probably shouldn’t be a Warden. He definitely shouldn’t be the last line of defence against the Blight alongside Cassandra, the only other surviving Warden in Ferelden.
He was saved from certain death by a Witch of the Wilds who seemed all too eager to offer her daughter, Bethany, up to the Warden cause. There’s a dog, an Antivan Chantry Brother, and a huge-horned Qunari who calls himself Bull. Together with a Necromantic Circle mage, a very broody ex-Crow, and a red-headed, freckled dwarf the unlikely crew set off to stop the Blight before it is too late.
(An AU series where all the Companions and Heroes are mixed up to see what happens.)

Summary
It’s been ten years since the Inquisition disbanded, long enough for the Inquisitor and Cassandra to build a life together, of which the search for Solas is only a small part. All of that is upended when Rook disrupts Solas’ ritual and inadvertently frees Elgar’nan and Ghilan’nain, endangering all of Thedas. The scattered former members of the Inquisition come back together to face the threat, and Evelyn is thrust back into a role she isn’t sure she wants to return to. Now, she’ll have to save the world from someone she once called a friend, and decide if he’s worth saving along with it.

Summary
"I’ve never told anyone what truly happened to me at Ferelden’s Circle. I was… not myself after that. I was angry. For years, that anger blinded me. I’m not proud of the man that made me."
"The way I saw mages… I’m not sure I would have cared about you, and the thought of that sickens me.
Lyrium withdrawal and the realization that he's desperately in love with the Inquisitor has left Cullen raw. Vulnerable. The horror of his past keeps intruding into his present, and he can't help but wonder whether he's been carrying it with him in more ways than one—whether his desires are his own, or something darker that controls and compels him from deep within his subconsciousness.
He needs to address it: he needs to come clean in order to move on. But will he lose the woman he loves in the process? Will he lose her to something (or someone) else before he can gather the courage to act?

A sort of ending to Rowan's tale but not really. There's still so much to come after this and so much I haven't really told.

Summary
After losing contact with the team Rook lead to follow Magister Alexius into the south. Neve sets out to track down and possibly rescue her partner. Neve just wants to find Rook she did not sign up to be a religious figure, but when has the world ever cared what Neve wanted.
This not time travel it’s a massive au where Rook completed all of the companion quests pre-canon, and also got exiled from every faction mostly for the canon reasons.
I’ll probably make a separate fic that just summarizes Rook’s lore.
This is my first fic constructive criticism is appreciated but please be nice.

Summary
Magic is not a dog, eager to heel at your side and do your bidding. Magic is a wolf; wild and unpredictable, every spell cast is an exchange between the mage and a wild creature. You can only direct Magic, bottleneck it or flood it, but never ‘control’ it. That is the biggest misconception with mages. Those with great skill are either lucky, or know when to cut off their magical supply so as not to drown in the abyss.
When a little pawn makes it to the other side of the board, she becomes the Inquisitor. When a Rook unexpectedly takes the board, three elven gods move to intercept her.
What if Emmrich Volkarin was there from the beginning? He saw a promising young necromancer rise to the honored rank of Inquisitor, only for him to come crashing into another gifted mage fifteen years later. The world a little darker, a little colder, and their enemies hauntingly the same.

Summary
Two decades ago, the Blight was ended by a legend. Now, as the Veil shatters once more, the Hero of Ferelden returns to a world that has forgotten the true cost of salvation.
While the people look to Marcius—the man they call Rook—as their new lighthouse, those closest to the Amell bloodline begin to feel the chill of a gathering storm. Behind the masks of divinity and the desperate decrees of the Chantry, secrets are festering. Memories have been stolen, old alliances have turned into cages, and the weight of a forced peace is beginning to crush the very people it was meant to protect.
In a game played by gods and monsters, Emmrich Volkarin struggles to find the woman he loves beneath the shadow of a growing ambition. But some burdens are too heavy for any mortal to carry, and when the price of victory becomes higher than the soul can pay, the only way to win is to break the world entirely.
