    Summary

    This is a retelling of the events of Dragon Age: Inquisition, accounting for the proper existence of the surviving Hero of Ferelden.

    Warden-Commander Carania Amell has been in her position for almost a decade. To the world, she's the hero who slayed the Archdemon Urthemiel, saving Thedas from the Fifth Blight. To the Grey Wardens, she's a nuisance that they have to accept. Either way, she turned into a political force that has to be reckoned with. In the heat of the Mage-Templar War, she avoids conflict, keeping the famous Grey Warden neutrality as best she can. But the dark tidings from the Free Marches bring a new angle for her research. It proves mostly fruitless until one day she sets out to investigate a lead on the eve of the Conclave.

    As the end of the Mage Rebellion seems to be within grasp, lady Evelyn Trevelyan is tasked with a mission to see through her family's interests at the negotiations between the mages and the templars. A great opportunity to rise among the relatives is about to become much more dangerous than anyone could've anticipated...

    Summary

    Eighteen months ago, Bryn Cousland crawled out of the burning wreckage of her home and into the Blight, without a Grey Warden there to catch her. Now the Blight is over, the Grey Wardens are rebuilding their order in Ferelden, and Bryn wants to be a hero. What better way than to present herself at Vigil's Keep as a recruit?

    And then the Hero of Ferelden conscripts the son of her family's murderer, and Bryn realises that she probably made a mistake.

    (Mostly canon-compliant to Awakening, but with a lot of original content.)

    Summary

    The First Warden hasn't had a reason to visit the arling of Amaranthine since the Hero of Ferelden, Zukal Tabris, became its Arlessa five years ago. When he finally arrives for the fifth anniversary of the end of the Darkspawn Civil War, inviting King Alistair Theirin to meet him there, an investigation begins that may see Zukal demoted from Warden Commander and sent away from Ferelden. Alistair and Zukal are forced to work together after four long years of silence to try to prove her defeat of the archdemon without revealing Alistair's part in the dark ritual that saved her life. But Zukal's closest friend and overprotective Constable, Nathaniel Howe, doesn't trust that the King's motives are as altruistic as they initially seem. Nathaniel doesn't want to admit it, but something about the King's presence makes it hard for him to leave Zukal alone while he does everything he can to keep the woman who changed the course of his life in the role she deserves. Will friendships reach a turning point, will old hurts be forgiven, or will their past choices result in ruin?

    Summary

    Gwen Cousland agrees with Alistair's reasoning when he breaks up with her at the Landsmeet. Why, then, is she so achingly lonely when she returns to Vigil's Keep? Through letters penned by Gwen and her companions, we watch her struggle with leadership, mourn the connections she forged during the Blight, and try to find her own identity as Warden Commander without Alistair.

    This is a fic celebrating my personal ten year anniversary of getting into Dragon Age! It covers ten years of time between Origins and Inquisition, and specifically my fic Reunion. Although Gwen and Alistair's relationship is one focus of this fic, this story takes place between them breaking up and getting back together.

    Summary

    Susanna awakens with no memories, in the middle of nowhere, and has to crawl her way out of the ground. The forest is unrecognisable, there's a stone cottage seemingly abanonded, and a goat named Blaidd that swears he hates all people. Recognising the familiar feel of magic, Susanna decides to settle, explore and learn about this new world and the magic it contains, different from her own.

    And then Anders comes.

    (Alternative: Anders flees the Circle during the Broken Circle quest and escapes into the woods. He gets lost, Templar hot on his heels, and is saved by a witch. Susanna is influenced/inspired by the DnD Druid class.)

    (Follows part of Origins, to Awakening, and then DA2. Eventual Male Hawke/OC, slow burn, canon divergence/fix-it fic)

    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.

    Summary

    As the newly-formed Inquisition scrambles to seal the Breach in the sky and Grey Wardens begin hearing their Calling all at once, Warden-Commander Sherene Tabris embarks on a desperate quest for a cure. The arrival of Teale Hawke and Vengeance-possessed Anders at Vigil's Keep complicates matters, as Vengeance seems intent on returning to the Fade. Seeking help from an unlikely ally and reuniting with her old companion and now Inquisitor, Favian Trevelyan, they return to Haven - and are pulled into a Nightmare.

    Or, 'Here Lies the Abyss' thrown in a blender.

    Written as part of The 2025 Dragon Age Big Bang event, for which I was paired with the wonderful Lizzlybonk (lizzarts on tumblr), who blessed me with four phenomenal illustrations, found at the bottom of chapters 1, 10, 13 and 19. Thank you for being incredible and truly understanding my vision, I couldn't have been paired with a better artist ❤️

    Summary

    Ferelden survived the Blight after the Grey Wardens united the lands to face against the darkspawn and the Archdemon, but after six months, the darkspawn are stirring again, and in strange ways. The Grey Wardens of Ferelden are forced to abandon their reconstruction efforts and reunite again to stop this new threat, and work to properly rebuild their Order in Ferelden.

    But not only do they have to deal with the darkspawn (even worse, talking darkspawn), they also have to deal with their own problems that have grown during and after the Blight.

    Sequel to Dragon Age: Origins

    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!)

    This was Anders. You knew better than to trust his whims. He was obviously taking the piss.

    Nathaniel, however, was not.

    Ten years before, Alistair Theirin broke Ailsa Tabris' heart. Ailsa has done her best to avoid him. Yet their paths cross as she comes to the aid of the Inquisition, along with her friend Marian Hawke. Can they set aside their differences and help save Thedas yet again?
    Marian is no stranger to heartbreak, either, having cast away her own love after he blew up the chantry. Corypheus is her problem, however, and she is determined to help put a stop to him. She should have known that the man she could not stop loving would come to the aid of the Free Mages.
