Summary
"After what you’ve been through, could you think of me as anything more?"
"I could. I mean, I do… think of you."They've said it. The Inquisitor and her Commander have finally stumbled, bickered, and battled their way into each other's arms. They know they need one another. And yet, not all is well in Skyhold.
"What's stopping you?"
"You’re the Inquisitor. We’re at war. And you… haven’t always seen me in the best light."Lavellan is frustrated. Cullen's kisses feel all-consuming. His touch makes her ache. And yet, something stops him in his tracks every time they steal a moment alone. He consistently leaves her a mess, even knowing every chance they get might be their last. She needs relief.
But needing is one thing. Getting? Getting's another.

Summary
The conclave was supposed to bring peace.
Instead, there is only death, destruction, a hole in the sky and a mark she doesn't understand burning on her palm.
Lyria Trevelyan has only ever wanted freedom, safety, a quiet life where her magic wasn't seen as a curse. But with the Temple of Sacred Ashes destroyed, that hope seems farther away than ever. As the only survivor, the Chantry condemns her as a heretic and probable murderer, pilgrims believe her Andraste's herald come to save them and the late Divine's fledgling Inquisition looks to her to seal the breach.
The entire world is counting on her, but Lyria knows she is no hero, not strong or brave.
Except, maybe, just maybe, she's wrong.

Summary
“What is it that you do not like about him?” Josephine asks suddenly, and Ellinor looks at her, open-mouthed. Scandalized.
“What is it—that I don’t like?” she sputters. “It’s Cullen who doesn’t like me! He—he chastises me. He underestimates me. He’s always in a bad mood and—and he just…” She takes a deep breath. Stop it, she thinks; she’s let her emotions get the best of her. A rare loss of control. She smooths her jacket instinctively. “He looks at me and he sees a highborn girl with nothing to offer the Inquisition but a mark on my hand. He judges me entirely by who I was. Not by who I’m trying to be.”

Summary
It's been two and a half years since the events of Broken Circle, and Knight-Corporal Cullen Rutherford has reintegrated in the Gallows of Kirkwall. His roommate, Raleigh Samson, is a welcome change from the rowdy and often judgemental general corps of Free Marcher Knights. You see, Cullen can't sleep without screaming. With no relief and no refuge but his job, he has had little choice but to pick up as much work as possible to keep intrusive thoughts and unwanted rest from getting in. That is, until a fateful day in the senior mage wing. Cullen is about to find out that more is going on in the Gallows--and within himself--than anyone has yet guessed.

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
Verita Lavellan didn't anticipate falling in love so quickly with Solas, nor did she suspect their subsequent break-up was coming. Free of her vallaslin, head full of doubt and the voices of Mythal's servants, Verita must come to terms with what's happened in order to see the Inquisition succeed. Coupled with her challenges to lead under emotional distress, Verita suspects Cullen harbors feelings for her, an added complication to her already confusing situation.
Michel de Chevin came to the Inquisition with no other options. Itching to find meaning again, he seeks the support of Verita Lavellan in his cause. While the last two years of his life have been incredibly difficult, the last thing he expected was to find himself pining over an elf. It's the least he deserves, really.

Summary
A Templar and a mage begin as enemies and become lovers.
What a scandal, what a cliché!
Inquisition Commander Cullen Rutherford knows he's falling for the fiery Dalish mage who emerged from the smoking ruin of the Grand Conclave as
hisThe Herald of Andraste, and that presents a problem for him. Well, several problems:Does he believe she was chosen by the Maker to fight a holy war? How could he possibly act on his feelings for her knowing they may be driven by something darker than desire and not wholly his own? While knowing that his choice to free himself from lyrium will likely kill him sooner rather than later?
Could she ever see him as more than the childhood monster who hunted her people to the brink of extinction? Would she still want him if she knew of his past? Would he deserve her love if she gave it to him?
What must they sacrifice to be with each other?
What must they sacrifice to save the world?UPDATED WEEKLY (ish)

Summary
Marianna Travelyan wird zum unfreiwilligen Mittelpunkt von Ereignissen mit dem Potenzial ganz Thedas in seinen Grundfesten zu erschüttern - dabei war alles was sie wollte endlich frei zu sein von den Ketten ihrer Vergangenheit und für die da zu sein, die sie am meisten brauchte.
Dabei hätte alles so einfach sein können: Begleite deine Verwandten nach Haven, bring das Konklave irgendwie rum, überleg dir eine Ausrede um nicht zurück nach Ostwick zu müssen und mach dich auf die Suche nach Markus.
Aber der Erbauer spielt ein Spiel nach seinen Regeln und noch dazu ein ziemlich grausames.

Summary
"I thought I wasn't to be watched by templars," said Anders without any greeting or preamble.
Which did surprisingly nothing to ruffle the seeker. No, Cassandra did not appear all that put out yet. If anything she seemed to have expected this protest, or as her slight judgemental frown indicated, she had more accurately expected this tantrum. "Guard Langlois is not a templar," she said with a nod to the young man.
"Ah, that makes it alright then," Anders rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. "It's a detail and you know it."
A sigh. Cassandra visibly clenched her jaw, then spoke as though what she had to say next was scorching her tongue. "Varric advised it."
_
The Inquisition gets off to a rough start while Anders gets to know the inhabitants of Haven.
It all goes as well as can be expected.Series

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.
