When secrets are revealed and choices need to be made, what will Branwen do? Will she play it safe, or will her loyalty blind her to the truth?

Summary
Sitting beside Cullen was torturous on good days. Waiting beside him, in a dimly lit room, shoulder to shoulder (when they hadn’t slept together for weeks) was hellish.
It wasn’t as if she could do something: at any moment, the other templars would arrive for the meeting.
Alas, it could have been easier to resist if she hadn’t seen Ser Cullen in her peripheral with his brow furrowed and eyes misted over. If only he had sent a single less surreptitious glance her way, she wouldn’t be soaking through her undergarments.

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
“I have… not seen many shemlen before now.”
He looks around at the three of them: the spymaster, poised and perceptive, the diplomat with her clipboard and coiffed smile, and the military leader, large frame paused in a warrior’s rest.
“Well, you’ve certainly gotten a decent amount of exposure by now.” Josephine’s smile meets her eyes sweetly. “What do you think?”
They are strange. Loud. Frank. Earnest. Saven eyes the warrior’s hulking mantle. “You are large.”

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?

Summary
Everyone scattered, after The Chantry was destroyed in Kirkwall, but Fenris, Aveline, Merrill, and Isabela rush back together when there's a sighting of a gangly blond mage in Templar custody. They work together to find Anders, in the dregs of a ruined old Chantry in the middle of nowhere, but, as it always is when it's important, they're too late, and what they find is a tortured and starved to death corpse, the Tranquil brand in its forehead, in a room of dead Templars. Or so they think. But Anders clings to life and the Rite of Tranquility had failed, and they have to work together to heal the healer, while Fenris tries to figure out what to do about the one night they spent together, before Fenris' memories had driven them apart.

Summary
Stella Trevelyan was of no help to anyone. She knew it and took it deep to heart. The best thing she could do, for herself, and those around her, was to live a life of uneventful seclusion.
Unfortunately, she was chosen twice to represent a cause she never truly believed in. The first nearly resulted in her own death. The second reunited her with someone who should have been dead.
To her luck, her past had forgotten her as much as she wished to forget it. If it stayed that way, she could play the role she was forced into with few, if any, complications. But no matter how much Stella tried to push her away, Josephine Montilyet refused to remain a memory…

Summary
Modern AU: Events of Dragon Age II and Dragon Age Inquisition, without Corypheus around.
When Solas woke up, he was dead-set to go along with his plan. Particularly after three Dalish clans told him off, and he settled in Kirkwall, only to discover that the city was caught in a political war about whether to reinstall a Circle of Magi, after centuries since the Chantry declared them abolished.
Everything changed when he took pity on two stranded children, and decided to get his plan on pause. An orb in the back of his office, an annoying dwarf mocking him in his house, he postponed everything until Aisling and Dorian would be grown up and had lived a long life.Things won't probably go according to plan.

Summary
At long last, the Breach will be closed and the Inquisition will finally turn their attention to the threatening shadow of the Venatori. But of course, that's not how it goes. The Venatori step out of the shadows first. The true nature of the Elder One and his power is revealed with devastating consequences.
Lanil Surana is stuck in the middle of a brand new war, hanging onto the dregs of the previous one by the skin of her teeth. Violence, grief, in-fighting, and rejection hound her every step forward, but amongst the worst months of her life she finds true friendship, meets heroes, and discovers a purpose worth fighting the world for.
Perhaps there might be room for romance, if Lanil ever stopped running from it.
Updates on random Wednesdays. Only beta'd by me myself and I now.

Summary
Their correspondence would often push the boundaries of professionalism and to prying eyes would be outright scandalous. Coy smiles and stolen glances at the war table were only the beginning.
This is the story of Inquisitor Trevelyan and Commander Cullen — a tale of passion and perseverance, yearning and devotion. A battle between duty and desire, as they navigate the rise of the Inquisition, redefining faith and confronting the horrors of their pasts.

Dragon Age Inquisition(sorta) fanfiction, I wrote in a week long crashout, that I have to edit into something readable now. New chapters will be published whenever I find the time to edit them. Tags are for the entire story, not for every chapter.
The Circles and the Mage/Templar conflict are by far the most interesting part of the Dragon Age series to me, so here we are. Mildly canon diverget in some parts, wildly canon divergent in others - whenever you feel like saying 'hey, that's not how that works', assume it's intentional and either means something, or represents an intentional divergence from Inquisition canon. -

Summary
Being a Warden is easy...All one has to do is survive a super secret ritual. Then fight a horde of darkspawn (and possibly an Archdemon) to destroy the Blight. See, easy.
Now, throw in a touch of romance and what do you have?
Well, to be frank, Alistair has no idea. He's just trying to get from one day to the next without completely blowing his chances with the new Warden he's supposed to be looking after. Luckily, he's a smooth guy...right?

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
Ten years.
It had been ten years since Namora last set foot in Fereldan, and she immediately was reminded why when the Temple of Ashes exploded. She hardly remembers the ordeal, but it made sure to leave a physical reminder in the form of a magical mark on her left hand. The same mark that would be the world as she knew it's only hope to be saved from absolute devastation.
10 years was also when she last saw the only man she's ever loved, Cullen Rutherford, and now they'd be reunited in such dire circumstances. Two people that have simultaneously changed a lot and not at all, would their love transcend time and bring them together once again?
